||
| − | '''Old [[Hillsbrad Foothills]]''' is the setting of the instance, [[Escape from Durnholde Keep]]. It is one of the timeways ("wings") accessible in the [[Caverns of Time]]. The setting takes place seven years before WoW's present (i.e. two years before the events of [[Warcraft III]]), to when the future [[Warchief]] [[Thrall]] was a slave of [[Aedelas Blackmoore]], master of [[Durnholde Keep]]. The questing involves [[Escape from Durnholde|helping Thrall escape]]. The instance area in question spans from [[Southshore]] (where familiar personalities of WoW present can be found) to [[Tarren Mill]]. |
||
| + | Players must complete the quest chains starting with {{quest|Rescue from Town Square}} and {{quest|The Demo-gnome}} before Wyrmbane will offer this quest. See the "Previous" links in the infobox to the right for the conclusion of those quest chains. |
||
| + | == Objectives == |
||
| + | Speak with {{npc||Gryphon Commander Urik}} to secure a ride to [[Thorson's Post]]. Report to {{npc||Duke August Foehammer}} when you arrive at Thorson's Post in [[Dragonblight]]. |
||
| + | == Description == |
||
| − | This instance, being the replica of a level 20 zone, is quite explorable alone. The actual areas where you encounter the fights and bosses of this instance are few and far between, leaving a wide-open zone full of things to explore. In fact it is encouraged that you come here alone to see all the cameos and find the interesting tidbits that lore fanatics crave, because if you come with your group for a full run, they are not going to want to wait for you to explore so they can tackle content. However, you cannot wander too far away from the zones included in the instance ([[Tarren Mill]], [[Southshore]], and [[Durnholde Keep]]). |
||
| + | You have done much to advance our efforts against the [[Scourge]], <name>. In fact, the morale of all those who come into contact with you soars! Such is your influence over the soldiers and citizenry of [[Wintergarde]], ally. |
||
| + | And because of you we are now prepared to go on the offensive. You are to report to Duke August Foehammer, across [[the Carrion Fields]] at Thorson's Post, east of here. Gryphon Commander Urik at the [[gryphon]] station has prepared a special gryphon to drop you behind enemy lines. Go now! |
||
| − | You enter the instance from a cave that replaces the cave at [[Darrow Hill]] in the present-day [[Hillsbrad Foothills|Hillsbrad]]. Head south from there and you hit the road that goes east-west from [[Silverpine Forest]] to [[Arathi Highlands]]. Patrolling along this road is a pair of mages from [[Dalaran]], a Dalaran Sorceress and an Aged Dalaran Wizard. The latter of the two sells an enchanting recipe found only in this instance, {{loot|common|Formula: Enchant Shield - Intellect}}, in limited supply (1). However don't let the limited supply think you can't get more than one in each instance as it has a 5 minute respawn timer on the vendor. |
||
| + | == Completion == |
||
| − | Also patrolling along this road, and down into Southshore is {{npc||Thomas Yance|Travelling Salesman}}. He sells a very valuable Leatherworking recipe, {{loot|common|Pattern: Riding Crop}}, for {{cost|5}} and this one is NOT in limited supply. Interestingly enough, he also sells all the level 1 gear you start with when you start a new character...for every class. He is also particularly useful as an armor repairer should your group wipe at any time during your run. As Thomas enters the town he can be quoted saying, "Southshore is such a peaceful town... I'd like to live here one day," and he patrols down onto the Southshore dock and turns around and goes as far as the inn in Tarren Mill before turning around back towards Southshore. |
||
| + | Ah, the distinguished hero arrives. Welcome to ground zero, <name>. Allow me to bring you up to speed! |
||
| + | {{npc||Thel'zan the Duskbringer||Thel'zan's}} most powerful forces have made their way into the [[Wintergarde Mausoleum]]. They plumb its depths in search of corpses and souls to send against Wintergarde while [[Naxxramas]] rains down terrible plague machines, set to hold us at bay! |
||
| − | Within [[Tarren Mill]], there are two children running around the town: [[Jay Lemieux]] ({{npc||Jason Lemieux}} is a mushroom vendor in the present day Tarren Mill) and [[Julie Honeywell]] (who goes on to become a mage in present-day [[Southshore]].) |
||
| + | We must strike now and hope that {{npc||Bolvar Fordragon||Lord Fordragon}} is able to hold out at the [[Angrathar the Wrathgate|Wrathgate]] for just a little longer. |
||
| − | Also in Tarren Mill, within the orchard, is the Tarren Mill Horsehand. He patrols around the area and has some interactions with residents and his horses. It starts in the barn. |
||
| + | ==Quest progression== |
||
| − | A still-human [[Kel'Thuzad]] is in this zone. He can be found just north of [[Southshore]], on the road leading north. Patrolling with Kel'Thuzad along the road in and out of Southshore is [[Helcular]], a necromancer made famous by the Horde quest {{questlong|Horde|33|Helcular's Revenge}}. |
||
| + | # Quest:Into Hostile Territory |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:Steamtank Surprise]] |
||
| − | In the Southshore inn, many well-known members of the [[Scarlet Crusade]] are standing around a table. If you wait a minute or so, they'll have a discussion about the upcoming war against the [[Scourge]], which reveals some backstory about the [[Ashbringer]], in what appears to be their first meeting. This is most bosses from [[Scarlet Monastery]] as younger versions of themselves, as well as the prominent members of the Scarlet Crusade who splintered off to become the [[Argent Dawn]] because they disagreed with the Crusade's fanaticism. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Scattered To The Wind]] & [[Quest:Breaking Off A Piece]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:The Chain Gun And You]] |
||
| − | Also in Southshore is [[Sally Whitemane]], the future boss of [[Scarlet Monastery]] Cathedral, playing tag with [[Renault Mograine]], the future other boss from Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. [[Jimmy Vishas]] can be seen following them, he later becomes [[Interrogator Vishas]] in the graveyard instance of Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. The trio also re-enact some of their lines and events when you encounter them as bosses on a [[Captured Critter]]. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Plunderbeard Must Be Found!]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:Plunderbeard's Journal]] |
||
| − | [[Herod the Bully]] can also be seen walking around Southshore, and he is much larger than the other children. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Chasing Icestorm: The 7th Legion Front]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:Chasing Icestorm: Thel'zan's Phylactery]] |
||
| − | On the dock of Southshore, {{npc||Zixil|Aspiring Merchant}} can be seen building a robot, {{npc||Overwatch Mark 0|Protector}}. In the present day, this goblin (known as <Merchant Supreme> in the current [[Hillsbrad]]) can be found patrolling around Hillsbrad as a traveling vendor, accompanied by {{npc||Overwatch Mark 1|Protector}}. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Finality]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:An End And A Beginning]] |
||
| − | Also on the dock is the one and only [[Nat Pagle]]! He is fishing with [[Hal McAllister]] in a zone which, surprisingly enough, has no fish. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:To Fordragon Hold!]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # {{questlong|Alliance|74|Audience With The Dragon Queen (Alliance)|Audience With The Dragon Queen}} |
||
| − | And inside the inn, there are two ship captains drinking at the bar, who go outside to have a private discussion. [[Captain Sanders]] discusses his plans with [[Captain Edward Hanes]] to hide his various possessions around the world, and leave a map that goes from clue to clue in order to get his prizes! This treasure hunt can be found in the present day from a world drop off of [[Murloc]]s in Westfall. The rewards from doing the quest are the items he talks about while in Old Hillsbrad. Captain Edward Hanes is also a quest giver for low level [[Draenei]] on the [[Bloodmyst Isle]]. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Galakrond and the Scourge]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:On Ruby Wings]] |
||
| − | [[Nathanos Marris]] can also be found in Old Hillsbrad, who in the events of the [[Third War]] will become "[[Nathanos Blightcaller|The Blightcaller]]," [[Lady Sylvanas]]' champion, and is a major [[Horde]] quest hub in the [[Eastern Plaguelands]] at [[Marris Stead]]. He even has the same gear at both past and present. |
||
| + | # {{questlong|Alliance|74|Return To Angrathar (Alliance)|Return To Angrathar}} |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:Reborn From The Ashes]] |
||
| − | [[Young Blanchy]] can be found in the Tarren Mill barn. [[Old Blanchy]] is a horse that can be found in modern day [[Westfall]]. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:Fate, Up Against Your Will]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # [[Quest:A Royal Coup]] |
||
| − | [[Stalvan Mistmantle]] can be found sleeping in a bed in the Inn. [[The Legend of Stalvan]] is an Alliance quest chain that starts in [[Darkshire]]. |
||
| + | # [[Quest:The Killing Time]] |
||
| − | |||
| + | # {{questlong|Alliance|74|The Battle For The Undercity (Alliance)|The Battle For The Undercity}} |
||
| − | A Male Dwarf who goes by the name of [[Bilger the Straight-Laced]] stands next to [[Nathanos Marris]] in the Southshore Town hall. In present day he's known as [[Brewmeister Bilger]]. Straight-laced simply meant he didn't drink, but after the events that took place, he became quite the drinker. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is also of note that all other NPCs in the town use the "old" models from the very earliest stages of the game's development. These differ from the current models because their armor, clothing, etc is "built in" to the model, instead of the customizable models used by player characters. This is very obvious when you compare the Scarlet Crusade meeting in the Inn with the other characters around the outside of the building. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A young [[Taelan Fordring]] is upstairs in the inn, holding a large, glowing hammer. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the double Story House nearest to the non functioning Gryphon rider is a small girl named [[Natasha Morris]]. She could be the daughter of [[Deathguard Morris]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Often if your party wipes while fighting [[Epoch Hunter]] or his minions, [[Thrall]] and [[Epoch Hunter]] will not reset to the earlier stage of [[Thrall]] talking to [[Taretha Foxton]], this is a known bug and is being fixed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It also should be noted that most players upon entering the zone become humans in appearance. This allows Horde races to interact with Southshore and other places. [[Night Elves]] and [[Draenei]], who at the time of the escape were not part of the [[Alliance]], are also humans in appearance. [[Shadowform]], [[Savory Deviate Delight]], and other items that transforms you will remove this effect. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Map limits == |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Access west towards [[Hillsbrad Fields]] or [[Silverpine Forest]] is blocked by fog blanking the screen |
||
| − | *the gate of [[Thoradin's Wall]] to the [[Arathi Highlands]] is closed tight |
||
| − | *the southern coast that leads to Arathi is blocked to swimmers by that same fog |
||
| − | *the passage to the [[Alterac Mountains]] is closed shut by a wall, but some creative jumping can get you over it, yet you'll find yourself walking into an invisible wall if you continue |
||
| − | *the river that runs through the foothills is blocked at the entrance to Alterac by a [[troll]]-wall, but some creative jumping can get you over it, yet you'll find yourself walking into an invisible wall if you continue |
||
| − | *the cavern leading to Ravenholdt has not yet been excavated; access to the area is possible with some creative jumping but there are no NPCs at Ravenholdt and the area graphics are incomplete (to access, face the wall where the cave usually is, mount up (epic mount) and go to the ledge to the left; jump onto the other side of the mountain) |
||
| − | *The valley to the [[Hinterlands]] is blocked by a rock slide. Even if you manage to get past the rock slide, invisible walls encompass the area, blocking further access. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == NPCs for Questing == |
||
| − | |||
| − | The quest NPCs include: |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Erozion]] - elf at the exit of the cave leading from the instance portal (gives both the quest to rescue Thrall and the incendiary bombs to do so) |
||
| − | *[[Brazen]] - bronze dragon next to Erozion (gives free ride from instance entrance to Durnholde's front gate) |
||
| − | *[[Thrall]] - primary quest NPC (in a cell in the basement of Durnholde Keep) |
||
| − | *[[Taretha Foxton|Taretha]] - other primary quest NPC (the inn in Tarren Mill) |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Vendors in the Instance == |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Barkeep Kelly]] (Found in the Southshore Inn) - sells various types of beer, including one that restore mana and another that adds 15 stamina for 15 minutes. |
||
| − | *[[Thomas Yance]] (Travels the roads between Southshore and Tarren Mill) - sells the starting clothes for most classes, its also worth noting he repairs armor and sells the leatherworking pattern [[Riding Crop]] for 5 gold. |
||
| − | *[[Aged Dalaran Wizard]] (Travels the roads between [[Southshore]] and [[Tarren Mill]]) - sells the formula for [[Enchant Shield - Intellect]] for 6 gold. |

||
| − | *Julie Honeywell (now [[Apprentice Honeywell]], Southshore) - Running around Tarren Mill |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Easter Eggs and Events == |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are several events that happen throughout Old Hillsbrad, most are in Southshore and provide a little extra fun after beating the instance and restoring the timeline. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Notable Character Easter Eggs<br> |
||
| − | Farmer Kent - Presumably referring to Superman's Father. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | Scarlet Monastery <br> |
||
| − | Sally Whitemane, Renault Mograine, and Little Jimmy Vishas sometimes performs a play, saying similar things which they said in their encounter in Scarlet Monastery. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Solo exploring == |
||
| − | *The instance is explorable as a solo adventurer. As the elites are grouped in [[Durnholde Keep]] and [[Tarren Mill]], most of the open areas are populated by level 20ish non-elites, much like the present-day Hillsbrad Foothills. |
||
| − | *There are no herbs or ore veins to harvest here, and the waters cannot be fished. Also, the mailbox next to the inn isn't there. |
||
| − | *Despite the thick fog kicking in before you reach it, the actual Town of Hillsbrad is present within the instance. Oddly there is a new cave just north of Hillsbrad itself that seems to serve no purpose. The Tower at the entrance to the Hillsbrad region is also present and is not in disrepair. There is a wall blocking entrance or exit from the west of the Hillsbrad region and the path starts to go into the Silverpine region but then is cut off by instance limits. |
||
| − | *The instance even includes Dalaran though it is not accessible due to the fog that kicks in if one ventures too far. Dalaran during this period in lore is restored but in the game it is not. The vast arcane bubble is not present but what lands it does cover is nothing but brown dirt. |
||
| − | *The map extends into the [[Arathi Highlands]] and even the city of Stromgarde is built to how it appears in World of Warcraft. |
||
| − | *[[Aerie Peak]] is also present in the map if a player manages to get past the rockslide that blocks the path from the foothills to the Hinterlands. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == 2.4.3: Don Carlos' Famous Hat == |
||
| − | |||
| − | A young [[Don Carlos]] was added to the instance in patch 2.4.3 for the quest {{questlong|neutral|68|Nice Hat...}}, which starts from his current self in the [[Gadgetzan]] graveyard in [[Tanaris]]. His younger version can be found patrolling the road on horseback between [[Southshore]] and [[Tarren Mill]], with his pet [[Guerrero]]. In the heroic version of the dungeon, he will drop [[Don Carlos' Famous Hat]], a haliscan style hat that summons a coyote spirit vanity pet. |
||
| − | ''For more details, see [[Don Carlos (tactics)]].'' |

Players must complete the quest chains starting with Rescue from Town Square and The Demo-gnome before Wyrmbane will offer this quest. See the "Previous" links in the infobox to the right for the conclusion of those quest chains.
Objectives
Speak with Gryphon Commander Urik to secure a ride to Thorson's Post. Report to Duke August Foehammer when you arrive at Thorson's Post in Dragonblight.
Description
You have done much to advance our efforts against the Scourge, <name>. In fact, the morale of all those who come into contact with you soars! Such is your influence over the soldiers and citizenry of Wintergarde, ally.
And because of you we are now prepared to go on the offensive. You are to report to Duke August Foehammer, across the Carrion Fields at Thorson's Post, east of here. Gryphon Commander Urik at the gryphon station has prepared a special gryphon to drop you behind enemy lines. Go now!
