The '''Hydraxian Waterlords''' are [[elementals]] that have made their home on the islands east of [[Azshara]]. They are sworn enemies of the armies of [[Ragnaros]]. Historically servants of the Old Gods, the four Elemental Lords served the gods with undying loyalty. The minions of [[Neptulon]] the Tidehunter were numerous and mindless. It is not yet known how [[Duke Hydraxis]] broke free of his lord's control (if indeed he has), or what his ultimate goals are, but the Water elementals are the only elementals that do not attack the mortal races with abandonment.

{{Patch 4.3.0|note=Added.}}
  
  +
Located on a remote island in the far east of Azshara, [[Duke Hydraxis]] offers some quests. The first two require killing various elementals in [[Eastern Plaguelands]] and [[Silithus]]. Increased faction with the Waterlords opens up additional quests leading into the [[Molten Core]]. Any items obtained from the Hydraxian Waterlords, are obtained from its various quests.
  +
  +
Prior to [[patch 3.0.8]], Duke Hydraxis offered the questline to obtain [[Aqual Quintessence]] used to douse the runes found near most bosses in Molten Core. This was required to summon [[Majordomo Executus]], the penultimate boss, and, after his defeat, to summon [[Ragnaros]] himself. Since there were seven runes, any raid needed at least seven players to bring a Quintessence if they wished to finish the instance. However, after the patch, Executus automatically spawns once the other bosses have been defeated.
  +
  +
[[Duke Hydraxis]] could once be found at the [[coordinates]] {{coords|79|73|Azshara}} in [[Azshara]]. Despite his removal from the game, the Hydraxian Waterlords still exist as a reputation faction.

=== Reputation ===

All of the bosses in MC reward reputation until Exalted. However, it takes only a few MC runs (or a dedicated afternoon of trash farming) to get to Honored. If you're working on your Hydraxian reputation by yourself, or are below level 70 and can't get a group together, you may prefer to start by grinding elementals in [[Silithus]]; getting from Neutral to 5,999 Friendly requires about 1,800 kills, and thus requires several hours, but it will reduce the number of weekly lockouts required.

*Even though you can check "at war" with this faction, it is impossible to lose reputation with the Hydraxian Waterlords.

=== Quests ===
  +
Hydraxian Waterlords currently offer no quests. Before the Shattering, [[Duke Hydraxis]] provided a series of quests; the NPC and his quests have since been removed from the game. Players gained no reputation from turning in these quests, except A Hero's Reward. The purpose of these quests was to lead players to the raid instance itself, and to other activities that improved Hydraxian reputation.

The Hydraxian Waterlords are elementals that have made their home on the islands east of Azshara. They are sworn enemies of the armies of Ragnaros. Historically servants of the Old Gods, the four Elemental Lords served the gods with undying loyalty. The minions of Neptulon the Tidehunter were numerous and mindless. It is not yet known how Duke Hydraxis broke free of his lord's control (if indeed he has), or what his ultimate goals are, but the Water elementals are the only elementals that do not attack the mortal races with abandonment.

Located on a remote island in the far east of Azshara, Duke Hydraxis offers some quests. The first two require killing various elementals in Eastern Plaguelands and Silithus. Increased faction with the Waterlords opens up additional quests leading into the Molten Core. Any items obtained from the Hydraxian Waterlords, are obtained from its various quests.

Prior to patch 3.0.8, Duke Hydraxis offered the questline to obtain Inv potion 76 [Aqual Quintessence] used to douse the runes found near most bosses in Molten Core. This was required to summon Majordomo Executus, the penultimate boss, and, after his defeat, to summon Ragnaros himself. Since there were seven runes, any raid needed at least seven players to bring a Quintessence if they wished to finish the instance. However, after the patch, Executus automatically spawns once the other bosses have been defeated.

Duke Hydraxis could once be found at the coordinates [79, 73]VZ-AzsharaBlip in Azshara. Despite his removal from the game, the Hydraxian Waterlords still exist as a reputation faction.
