#solo raid

Long time no post! Sorry for the long pause. Today I’m posting about another solo run of the Serpentshrine Cavern raid on 25-player Normal difficulty on 14 NOV 2016. The entrance to this raid is in the middle of Serpent Lake (red star on the map above) in Zangarmarsh. You have to swim through this tube thing to get to Serpentshrine Cavern (straight ahead) and the two other instances located here: The Slave Pens (to the left) and the Underbog (to the right). NPCs were around level 70-72.

Time: I got through this one with my 104 Druid night elf in 20 minutes.

Gold: After selling the soulbound items that I didn’t want/need, I ended up with a gold profit of 200.

Loot: My night elf is an herbalist, so I was able to get about 50 various herbs and 33 Mote of Life off of some of the NPCs. I also looted 32 Netherweave Cloth, 4 Nether Vortex, 2 leatherworking patterns, 12 uncommon (green) quality items that I will either sell on the Auction House or disenchant later. I also also got an epic item: The Ancient Scepter of Sue-Min. Pretty nice, but I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE TIDESKIPPER PET :’(

Boss Tips: Lady Vashj is not hard to kill, but it does take like 5 minutes. You can hit her a few times and then she’s immune to your attacks. She’ll be getting power from four generators around her. You need to look around for Tainted Elementals and kill them to get Tainted Cores. It’s easy to find them because they’re green instead of blue, and they’ll be spitting green goo at you. BUT you have to get to them quick because they will disappear. And you can only carry one Tainted Core at a time. After you get one, go click on one of Vashj’s generators. This will disable it. You have to do this four times in total.

Also, be sure to kill Coilfang Striders and Coilfang Elites as soon as they get near you. They do this super annoying thing where you end up feared and lose control for a few seconds. Those few seconds could mean that you miss a Tainted Elemental and have to wait for another one to pop up.

Warning: If you die in this instance, you may not be able to get back underwater and to the raid entrance as a spirit. This means you’ll have to accept ressurection sickness from a Spirit Healer.This especially sucks if you just fell down the elevator right away. It’s huge and you will die if you don’t have a way to slow your fall.
