||
− | ===Background=== |
||
+ | ''From the article "[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/reputation.html#BC Aldors and Scryers]", found at the World of Warcraft website: |
||
− | [[File:Shadowtooth encampment.jpg|thumb|ShadowTooth Clan.]] |
||
− | There is no evidence that the dark trolls have ever formed a civilization or nation. As their estimated numbers are so few their existence as a distinct category of [[troll]]s is considered highly questionable. It seems likely that they are derived from a single [[troll]] [[tribe]].<ref name="Othertrolls" /> |
||
+ | <blockquote>This time, the attack [on Shattrath City] came from the armies of [[Illidan Stormrage]]. A large regiment of blood elves had been sent by Illidan’s ally, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, to lay waste to the city. As the regiment of blood elves crossed the bridge, the Aldor’s exarchs and vindicators lined up to defend the [[Terrace of Light]]. Then the unexpected happened: the blood elves laid down their weapons in front of the city's defenders. Their leader, a blood elf elder known as Voren’thal, stormed into the Terrace of Light and demanded to speak to the naaru [[A'dal]]. As the naaru approached him, Voren’thal knelt and uttered the following words: “I’ve seen you in a vision, naaru. My race’s only hope for survival lies with you. My followers and I are here to serve you.” |
||
− | ===Third War=== |
||
+ | <br /><br /> |
||
− | When [[Grom Hellscream]] first arrived in [[Ashenvale Forest]], he found and destroyed a dark troll settlement.<ref name=WC3O4>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III |expansion= |campaign=[[The Invasion of Kalimdor]] |mission=[[The Spirits of Ashenvale]] |zone= |npc= |quote= |quest= }}</ref> Later, small settlements of dark trolls were destroyed by [[Tyrande]], [[Malfurion]], and their army during their search for the [[Druids of the Talon]].<ref>{{ref game |title=Warcraft III |expansion= |campaign=[[Eternity's End]] |mission=[[The Druids Arise]] |zone= |npc= |quote= |quest= }}</ref> However, a group of dark trolls named the [[ShadowTooth Clan]] joined the [[night elves]] in the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]].<ref name=WC3NE7/> |
||
+ | The defection of Voren’thal and his followers was the largest loss ever incurred by Kael’thas’ forces. Nor were these just any blood elves. Many of the strongest and brightest amongst Kael’thas’ scholars and magisters had been swayed by Voren’thal's influence. The naaru accepted the defectors, who became known as the Scryers.'' |
||
+ | </blockquote> |
||
− | == |
+ | == Services == |
+ | The Scryers offer a variety of services to those who swear allegiance to their cause, including an [[inn]], a [[bank]] and various [[vendors]]. Their most notable services, however, are their [[Master]] and [[Grand Master]] Enchanter [[trainer]]s, the availability of whom allows aspiring enchanters to attain mastery over the [[Enchanting]] [[profession]] without entering [[Uldaman]]. Of course, enchanters need not ally themselves with the Scryers simply to train as masters: the Scryer Enchanting trainers teach nothing that is not available through other trainers located in [[Outland]]. |

||
− | Dark trolls lead a mostly subterranean existence,<ref name="Othertrolls" /> and emerge at night to hunt.<ref name=MoM99/> They have a tribal structure, in which physical power and cunning are held in great esteem. Tribal shamans offer spiritual guidance and divine magic when necessary. This is similar — but far more primitive — in social structure to [[jungle troll]]s, the most civilized of trollkind. They practice voodoo, ritual sacrifices and even occasional cannibalism. Dark trolls are possibly the most violent of all troll species and are feared even among their own kind.<ref name=MoM99/> |
||
+ | [[Reputation]] gains with the Scryers correspond with a 10% greater loss of reputation with the Aldor, and often result in gains with the [[Sha'tar]]. Blood elves who have not yet pledged allegiance to either the Aldor and Scryers will automatically begin as {{rep|friendly}} with the Scryers and {{rep|hostile}} with the Aldor. However, blood elves may choose to side with the Aldor once the opportunity presents itself, and are not banned from doing so simply because of their race. |

− | === |
+ | ==== Until Honored ==== |
+ | Turning in ten {{loot|common|Firewing Signet|Firewing Signets}} to {{npc||Magistrix Fyalenn}} in [[Scryer's Tier]] will grant +250 reputation with the Scryers. There is also a repeatable quest, [[Quest:Single Firewing Signet]], which yields +25 reputation for each Signet ring turned in. These Signets drop from low-ranking [[Firewing]] members found at Firewing Point Northeast of Shattrath City. Once reaching {{rep|honored}} status, however, the Firewing Signet quests becomes unavailable. If no other reputation quests are done, 240 signets are required to go from {{rep|friendly}} to {{rep|honored}}, or 360 signets from {{rep|neutral}} to {{rep|honored}}. |
||
− | It is said that there are various tribes within the dark trolls,<ref name=MoM99/> however, only one organization is known so far: The [[ShadowTooth Clan]].<ref name=WC3NE7/> |
||
+ | It is possible to submit Firewing Signets to gain rep more than is needed to obtain Honored. For example, if you are 25 rep points away from Honored, you can submit 10 signets and be 225 points into Honored. Once Honored, however, you can no longer submit Firewing Signets for rep. |
||
− | ==Combat== |
||
− | Alleged sightings of dark trolls usually involve hulking and brutish creatures who attack with little tactical planning or coordinated effort.<ref name="Othertrolls" /> They attack with battleaxes or spears in combat, but they are by no means limited to using weapons. Even when disarmed, they can be lethal with their claws. They fight without fear, relying on their natural healing ability to keep them going. A dark troll's favored class is [[barbarian]].<ref name=MoM99/> |
||
− | == |
+ | ==== Until Exalted ==== |
+ | At level 68, characters may start turning in {{loot|common|Sunfury Signet|Sunfury Signets}}. These drop from high-ranking members of the [[Sunfury|Sunfury Clan]] (i.e., blood elf [[mobs]] level 66 and higher). Although it is possible to turn in Sunfury Signets upon reaching {{rep|friendly}} status, it is recommended that one save these items until attaining {{rep|honored}} status. For every ten Signets, characters will gain +250 reputation. Upon reaching {{rep|honored}} it will take approximately 1,320 Sunfury Signets to reach {{rep|exalted}} if reputation from no other source is earned. |

This yields +350 reputation per turn-in, plus {{loot|common|Arcane Rune|Arcane Runes}}, a form of currency used to purchase shoulder enchants at the Scryer's bank. As with Sunfury Signets, it is possible to turn in the Arcane Tomes before reaching {{rep|honored}}, but for the same reasons it is recommended that characters save them until after attaining that status. Upon reaching {{rep|honored}} it will take approximately 95 Arcane Tomes to go from {{rep|honored}} to {{rep|exalted}} if reputation from no other source is earned. |

+ | ==== Switching to Scryers ==== |
+ | It is possible to defect from the Aldor to the Scryers, though doing so destroys all reputation progress previously made with the Aldor. Players seeking to switch factions must find {{npc||Arcanist Adyria}}, a Scryer located in [[Lower City]]. She offers the repeatable quest [[Quest:Voren'thal's Visions]], which requires characters to turn in eight {{loot|common|Dampscale Basilisk Eye|Dampscale Basilisk Eyes}}. This quest yields +250 reputation with the Scryers and -275 reputation with the Aldor per turn-in, and also provides +125 reputation with the Sha'tar if one is not yet {{rep|honored}} with that faction. Voren'thal's Visions may be repeated until {{rep|neutral}} status is attained, at which time it becomes unavailable. |
||
− | [[File:Dark troll concept art.jpg|thumb|Cataclysm concept artwork.]] |
||
− | {{speculation}} |
||
− | The [[Cult of the Dark Strand]] in northwestern [[Ashenvale]] has a number of troll members who could possibly be dark trolls, however, no dark troll settlements has been seen, and those in the strand are likely [[jungle troll]]s. |
||
+ | Assuming one is {{rep|exalted}} with the Aldor and {{rep|hated}} by the Scryers, it will take 168 turn-ins, or 1,344 individual Dampscale Basilisk Eyes, to reach {{rep|neutral}} status with the Scryers. Upon hitting {{rep|neutral}} status with the Scryers, one's reputation with the Aldor should have deteriorated almost halfway into {{rep|hostile}}. |
||
− | {{Cata-section}} |
||
− | Concept art for dark trolls has surfaced; however, it is not know for certain if dark trolls will appear or not. |
||
− | == |
+ | == Rewards == |
+ | {{npc||Arcanist Xorith}} and {{npc||Haldor the Compulsive}} are reputation vendors who sell specialized [[Flasks]] only usable in [[raid]] zones to characters who are {{rep|exalted}} with the [[Cenarion Expedition]], the Sha'tar and the respective Scryer or Aldor faction. The flasks are only purchasable with [[Mark of the Illidari]], obtained from creatures in [[The Eye]] of [[Tempest Keep]], [[Serpentshrine Cavern]], [[Mount Hyjal]] and the [[Black Temple]]. |

||
− | *[[Goblin]]s are becoming fast friends with the dark trolls as both races enjoy the stolen loot the pirates obtain.<ref>''[[Alliance & Horde Compendium]]'', pg. 71</ref> |
||
− | *There is some debate as to how many categories are necessary in order to describe the troll race. Some have chosen to specify a fifth category: The dark trolls.<ref name=officialsite/> However, their existence as a distinct category of troll is considered highly questionable. In consequence, it seems likely that if the dark trolls do exist, they are derived from a single [[troll]] [[tribe]].<ref name="Othertrolls" /> |

||
+ | |||
+ | The epic pendants sold by Shattered Sun Offensive quartermaster Eldara Dawnrunner in Isle of Quel'danas have procs that only trigger when at exalted reputation with Aldor or Scryer. What procs exactly depends on the neckpiece and which faction you have chosen. |
||
+ | |||
+ | == Quests == |
||
+ | If one has not yet chosen either the Aldor or the Scryers, complete [[Quest:A'dal]] and then [[Quest:City of Light]]. Completing these two quests will lead to two new quests, one to become {{rep|friendly}} with the Scryers, the other for the Aldor. Choose carefully! Even though characters can switch between factions as described above, it will take time. |
||
+ | * [[Quest:A'dal]] |
||
+ | ** [[Quest:City of Light]] |
||
+ | |||
+ | Previously, if you were a blood elf, you would not have the A'dal quest available, but would instead get: |
||
+ | * [[Quest:Haggard War Veteran]] |
||
+ | Now, however, {{npc||Haggard War Veteran}}s give you the A'dal quest. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Netherstorm === |
||
+ | There are many quests for the Scryers concerning disrupting Sunfury operations and shutting down the [[manaforge]]s in [[Netherstorm]]. These quests can be obtained at [[Area 52]] upon achieving {{rep|friendly}} status. Also, on the Scryer Tier in Shattrath City characters can talk to Arcanist Savan who will provide the feeder quest [[Quest:Report to Spymaster Thalodien]] to talk to [[Spymaster Thalodien]] in Area 52. |

The Scryers are a faction of blood elves led by Voren'thal the Seer. The group broke away from Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, heir to the throne of Quel'Thalas and ruler of the blood elven race, and offered to assist the naaru in rebuilding Shattrath City. They are at odds with the Aldor, and compete with them for power within Shattrath and for the naaru's favor. Nowadays, the Scryers are notable for having the largest library out there, housing the "greatest repository of lore in Outland".[1]
Characters may join the Scryers by completing the quest Quest:Allegiance to the Scryers, thereby becoming friendly with the Scryers and hostile with the Aldor.
Lore
From the article "Aldors and Scryers", found at the World of Warcraft website:
This time, the attack [on Shattrath City] came from the armies of Illidan Stormrage. A large regiment of blood elves had been sent by Illidan’s ally, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, to lay waste to the city. As the regiment of blood elves crossed the bridge, the Aldor’s exarchs and vindicators lined up to defend the Terrace of Light. Then the unexpected happened: the blood elves laid down their weapons in front of the city's defenders. Their leader, a blood elf elder known as Voren’thal, stormed into the Terrace of Light and demanded to speak to the naaru A'dal. As the naaru approached him, Voren’thal knelt and uttered the following words: “I’ve seen you in a vision, naaru. My race’s only hope for survival lies with you. My followers and I are here to serve you.”
The defection of Voren’thal and his followers was the largest loss ever incurred by Kael’thas’ forces. Nor were these just any blood elves. Many of the strongest and brightest amongst Kael’thas’ scholars and magisters had been swayed by Voren’thal's influence. The naaru accepted the defectors, who became known as the Scryers.
Services
The Scryers offer a variety of services to those who swear allegiance to their cause, including an inn, a bank and various vendors. Their most notable services, however, are their Master and Grand Master Enchanter trainers, the availability of whom allows aspiring enchanters to attain mastery over the Enchanting profession without entering Uldaman. Of course, enchanters need not ally themselves with the Scryers simply to train as masters: the Scryer Enchanting trainers teach nothing that is not available through other trainers located in Outland.
Reputation
- For help choosing between the Aldor and Scryer factions, see the article "Comparison of Aldor and Scryer Rewards."
Reputation gains with the Scryers correspond with a 10% greater loss of reputation with the Aldor, and often result in gains with the Sha'tar. Blood elves who have not yet pledged allegiance to either the Aldor and Scryers will automatically begin as friendly with the Scryers and hostile with the Aldor. However, blood elves may choose to side with the Aldor once the opportunity presents itself, and are not banned from doing so simply because of their race.
Hated | Hostile | Unfriendly | Neutral | Friendly | Honored | Revered | Exalted | Rep | Item | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Repeatable Quests |
250 | [Dampscale Basilisk Eye] x8 | ||||||||
250 (25) | [Firewing Signet] x10 (x1) | |||||||||
250 (25) | [Sunfury Signet] x10 (x1) | |||||||||
350 | [Arcane Tome] |
Until Honored
Turning in ten [Firewing Signets] to Magistrix Fyalenn in Scryer's Tier will grant +250 reputation with the Scryers. There is also a repeatable quest, Quest:Single Firewing Signet, which yields +25 reputation for each Signet ring turned in. These Signets drop from low-ranking Firewing members found at Firewing Point Northeast of Shattrath City. Once reaching honored status, however, the Firewing Signet quests becomes unavailable. If no other reputation quests are done, 240 signets are required to go from friendly to honored, or 360 signets from neutral to honored.
It is possible to submit Firewing Signets to gain rep more than is needed to obtain Honored. For example, if you are 25 rep points away from Honored, you can submit 10 signets and be 225 points into Honored. Once Honored, however, you can no longer submit Firewing Signets for rep.
Until Exalted
At level 68, characters may start turning in [Sunfury Signets]. These drop from high-ranking members of the Sunfury Clan (i.e., blood elf mobs level 66 and higher). Although it is possible to turn in Sunfury Signets upon reaching friendly status, it is recommended that one save these items until attaining honored status. For every ten Signets, characters will gain +250 reputation. Upon reaching honored it will take approximately 1,320 Sunfury Signets to reach exalted if reputation from no other source is earned.
Arcane Tomes
[Arcane Tomes] may be turned in at any time to Voren'thal the Seer inside the The Seer's Library on the Scryer's Tier. This yields +350 reputation per turn-in, plus [Arcane Runes], a form of currency used to purchase shoulder enchants at the Scryer's bank. As with Sunfury Signets, it is possible to turn in the Arcane Tomes before reaching honored, but for the same reasons it is recommended that characters save them until after attaining that status. Upon reaching honored it will take approximately 95 Arcane Tomes to go from honored to exalted if reputation from no other source is earned.
Switching to Scryers
It is possible to defect from the Aldor to the Scryers, though doing so destroys all reputation progress previously made with the Aldor. Players seeking to switch factions must find Arcanist Adyria, a Scryer located in Lower City. She offers the repeatable quest Quest:Voren'thal's Visions, which requires characters to turn in eight [Dampscale Basilisk Eyes]. This quest yields +250 reputation with the Scryers and -275 reputation with the Aldor per turn-in, and also provides +125 reputation with the Sha'tar if one is not yet honored with that faction. Voren'thal's Visions may be repeated until neutral status is attained, at which time it becomes unavailable.
Assuming one is exalted with the Aldor and hated by the Scryers, it will take 168 turn-ins, or 1,344 individual Dampscale Basilisk Eyes, to reach neutral status with the Scryers. Upon hitting neutral status with the Scryers, one's reputation with the Aldor should have deteriorated almost halfway into hostile.
Rewards
Arcanist Xorith and Haldor the Compulsive are reputation vendors who sell specialized Flasks only usable in raid zones to characters who are exalted with the Cenarion Expedition, the Sha'tar and the respective Scryer or Aldor faction. The flasks are only purchasable with [Mark of the Illidari], obtained from creatures in The Eye of Tempest Keep, Serpentshrine Cavern, Mount Hyjal and the Black Temple.
The following Scryer reputation rewards can be purchased from Quartermaster Enuril in the Scryer Bank in southeast Shattrath City:
The following Scryer Inscription reputation rewards can be purchased from Inscriber Veredis in the Scryer Bank in southeast Shattrath City:
Scribe Veredis | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Rep | Item | Stats | Cost | |
Honored | [Inscription of the Blade] | +13 Critical Strike Rating | 2 | |
[Inscription of the Knight] | +13 Defense Rating | 2 | ||
[Inscription of the Oracle] | 5 mana per 5 sec | 2 | ||
[Inscription of the Orb] | +13 Spell Critical Strike Rating | 2 | ||
Exalted | [Greater Inscription of the Blade] | +15 Critical Strike Rating | +20 Attack Power | 8 |
[Greater Inscription of the Knight] | +15 Defense Rating | +10 Dodge Rating | 8 | |
[Greater Inscription of the Oracle] | 6 mana per 5 sec | +22 Healing | 8 | |
[Greater Inscription of the Orb] | +15 Spell Critical Strike Rating | +12 Spell Damage and Healing | 8 |
The epic pendants sold by Shattered Sun Offensive quartermaster Eldara Dawnrunner in Isle of Quel'danas have procs that only trigger when at exalted reputation with Aldor or Scryer. What procs exactly depends on the neckpiece and which faction you have chosen.
Quests
If one has not yet chosen either the Aldor or the Scryers, complete Quest:A'dal and then Quest:City of Light. Completing these two quests will lead to two new quests, one to become friendly with the Scryers, the other for the Aldor. Choose carefully! Even though characters can switch between factions as described above, it will take time.
- Quest:A'dal
Previously, if you were a blood elf, you would not have the A'dal quest available, but would instead get:
- Quest:Haggard War Veteran
Now, however, Haggard War Veterans give you the A'dal quest.
Netherstorm
There are many quests for the Scryers concerning disrupting Sunfury operations and shutting down the manaforges in Netherstorm. These quests can be obtained at Area 52 upon achieving friendly status. Also, on the Scryer Tier in Shattrath City characters can talk to Arcanist Savan who will provide the feeder quest Quest:Report to Spymaster Thalodien to talk to Spymaster Thalodien in Area 52.
