Phase 2 of Cataclysm Classic has been launched on NA servers on July 30th and on EU servers on July 31st. Just when you thought you’d heeded the advice to stay away from da voodoo, a new challenge emerges. This challenge invites you to brave the lands of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, uncover and thwart the plots of Zandalari and their brethren, and be handsomely rewarded for your efforts.
A Threat Fought In Secret
Vol’jin is playing it safe, sending Darkspear delegates to the capitals of Stormwind and Orgrimmar, calling on all adventurers who can physically investigate a threat that has recently emerged in Stranglethorn jungle.
However, Gurubashi tribe appears to have regained its strength and is wreaking havoc in Stranglethorn. You can now embark on a new level 85 single-player quest in Stranglethorn, restored by a new alliance with Zandalari, players will assist a sassy, headstrong Darkspear spirit-talker named Bwemba as they track down Hemet Nesingwary, and then encounter a host of new Zul’Gurub bosses in Stranglethorn’s steaming jungles.
As a reward for solving Stranglethorn’s problems, you’ll be rewarded with an adorable panther pet that will require your loving care. Players should seek out Vol’jin’s representatives in Orgrimmar or Stormwind Harbor to initiate this adventure.
Return To Zul’Gurub
With the support of Zandalari, Gurubashi people have once again rallied around this ancient city, determined to strike back against those they perceive as invading their ancestral lands. Now, this level 85, 5-player Heroic dungeon brings a whole new challenge. Having enough WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold will be key for players who wish to delve into these new challenges, as it will help you prepare the equipment and resources needed to ensure you can take on these challenges and reap the rich rewards they bring.
If you choose to ally with Darkspears, you will be well aware that invasions come at a cost. High Priest Venoxis, Broodlord Mandokir, High Priestess Kilnara, Zanzil, and Jin’do the Godbreaker - these enemies will not let you go easily.
Cut off their heads and you will be rewarded with a treasure map that may lead you to valuable loot. One of the most eye-catching is an account-bound ring that is inlaid with a huge gemstone, making it instantly visible when worn!
For players with advanced Archaeology skills, Zul’Gurub offers an additional challenge - unlocking a special boss. This boss will be a random one of Gri’lek, Renataki, Hazza’rah, and Wushoolay, who are chosen to punish adventurers who pursue treasure too much without considering the consequences. If your party survives this challenge, you will be rewarded with generous rewards from all four bosses, as well as valuable loot unique to each boss.
Amani Regrouped
With the support of Zandalari, the remnants of Amani have regrouped under the steadfast leadership of Daakara. Zul’Aman has been transformed into a challenging level 85, 5-player Heroic dungeon. Akil’zon, Nalorakk, Jan’alai, Halazzi, Hex Lord Malacrass, and Daakara hope to bring their tribes out of secrecy and become a force to be reckoned with. Challengers should proceed with caution.
To access Zul’Aman and Zul’Gurub, players must reach item level 346 or higher. These two heroic dungeons will appear in Dungeon Finder as separate heroic difficulties that exceed the current Cataclysm Heroic dungeons. As a reward, they will provide players with epic-quality loot at item level 353.
In both dungeons, players can expect to find items that cover almost all gear slots, although the rewards are mainly focused on providing some hard-to-fill slots or specializations, such as bracers, helms, shoulders, guns, and wands.
Rare Mounts And More
Retaining the original features of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, players will obtain updated versions of rare mounts. In Zul’Gurub, players can obtain Swift Zulian Panther and Armored Razzashi Raptor as mounts, while in Amani, by defeating the first four bosses within the time limit, players can obtain Battle Bear.
With the opening of challenges in the two heroic dungeons of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, players will embark on an adventure full of dangers and opportunities. Through these challenges, players will not only obtain powerful equipment and rare mounts, but more importantly, they will become the key force to resist the conspiracy of Zandalari and his allies.
