Caeden & Iltria finished up with the quests in the Blasted Lands over the weekend. I have to say, the Blasted Lands is probably my least favorite zone in the game. When you enter the zone in your late 40’s to early 50’s, you have 5 main quests you can do. They are the quests you can get from the Blood Elves near the entrance to the zone. The npc’s ask you to collect various parts from the animals that inhabit the area. All told, you need 14 vulture gizzards, 11 basilisk brains, 6 blasted boar lungs, 6 scorpid pincers & 5 snikerfang jowls. Multiply those numbers by 2 and you begin to see my loathing of this zone. To make things worse, the drop rate has to be 1 in 4 or worse. So, in order for Caeden & Iltria to complete all the quests, I needed to kill about 336 mobs!!! That’s a horrible grind =( It was even a bit worse this time through, because all the animals seemed to be highly resistant to fire, making Iltria’s fire spec pretty much useless. Not to mention the huge dragon boss that flies around the zone!!! Teremus the Devourer…he’s so big, you can’t miss him, yet he has this amazing ability to sneak up on you from out of nowhere and kill you in a couple of shots!!! Anyway, I’m glad that zone is over & I hope with the new experience change coming in patch 2.3, I will never have to see the Blasted Lands again, except when going through the Dark Portal to the Outlands =)
