Battle of Hillsbrad

Kill Foreman Bonds and 10 Hillsbrad Miners and report back to Darthalia in Tarren Mill.
  •  
Foreman Bonds slain
  •  
Hillsbrad Miner slain (10)

Description

The Hillsbrad Town Registry indicates that the Azureload Mine is under Alliance control. Furthermore, the mine is a prime source of iron ore for the Alliance armories.

Even though we've struck a decisive blow to the town of Hillsbrad, the Alliance still supports and protects the Azureload Mine fervently.

The mine lies due south of Hillsbrad. Go there and slay the foreman, a human by the name of Bonds. Kill his miners as well. That should send a clear message to the Alliance.

Reward

Also, you get: 25

Progress

You were given direct orders to attack the Azureload Mine. Your reasons for loafing about Tarren Mill better be good or I will behead you for treason.

Completion

The Dark Lady will be pleased when she learns that she has a new mine from which she can arm her soldiers.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 230 experience (13 80 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Undercity

as a level 28 priest. Go down the mine and take the first fork to the right, then straight, then right. There is a platform, like a stage mentioned earlier.

I thoroughly cleared the room making single pulls of each mob. I then pulled Bonds, using fear and Mind Flay when the dwarves appeared. The dwarves will die automatically a short after Bonds' death because I only killed one of them but they both died.

I got 408xp (204 rested) for Bonds, 244xp (122 rested) for the Dun Garok Soldier that spawns, 2300xp and +100 rep (Undercity) for turn in.

Foreman Bonds is at 31,56 in the Azurelode Mine. Use the lower entrance.

DO NOT let foreman bonds reset. I performed a vanish on him, waited too long, he reset. His dwarf adds remained. I went back in and he called two more dwarves. That was 4 dwarves and foreman bonds. I killed the foreman, but I had to ghost it from Tarren Mills.

So rogues, be careful with vanish.

Keep in mind that Hillsbrad Sentrys that are located outside of the mine will shout for help at around 30% help. If there are another sentry close by they will agro on you, pull Sentrys away and deal with them a couple of meters away =D. The mobs in the cave dont shout but they run like any other humanoids when they get low health.

For rogues, this is pretty easy:
* Throw distraction so you can creep up behind more easily.
* Attack with Cheapshot + Backstab to get a quick 3 points
* Kill foreman as fast as you can
* We he gets down to about 5% and summons the two adds, do Evasion to prevent the adds from doing a lot of damage
* When foreman dies, hit Vanish and Sprint to a safe area. His adds will disappear and not give chase.

As a level 26 combat rogue, I was able to do this without a health potion.

Solo'd as a 26 Feral Druid.

I killed a few miners, then stealthed past Bonds to the area behind him and cleared a few more miners out to give me some space away from https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2450 Miner Hacket which just so happened to be right in front of where Bonds was standing on the platform.

Anyway, I hit Bonds with a Moonfire to make sure I didn't aggro Hackett and another mob, then switched to cat form, raked him till 4CP, then Ripped, had to heal at this point, Regrowth, Rejuv, back to cat form, then started to shred him, he was down to 30% when his adds spawned. Luckily my Regrowth and Rejuvenation kept me alive long enough to kill Bonds. I died from the adds, I could not have gotten away if I tried so I just let them kill me. At least I got Bonds before I died though. :)

Was an intense fight but managed to do it but at the start i was a bit unlucky

I was starting to clear out the place by killing a miner and then a Forman pulls....

I manage to kill the miner and then after i've dpsed the foreman down he runs off and agros Bonds,

I shift out of Cat form and Warstomp + Regrowth and Rejuvanation
into bear i go and continue to dps him keeping demorlalising roar up on him, when his adds spawn i use Demoralizing roar again, finish killing Bonds have 1/2 health kill off one of the gurads use bear stun heal and finish him off

Didn't have to use a pot (becasue i didn't have one =) )

Hope it helps

P.s. He nearly always seems to have a chest beside him, an added bonus =)

On 8/23/08, killed foreman without him spawning adds. No idea what might have happened - did not land any big shots at the end. *shrug*

Could just be random, but I would swear the Hillsbrad Human Skulls had a better drop rate off the Miners and Foremen than any of the other humans I've killed thus far. So if you aren't having trouble in here (Sub specced Rogues should do fine), you might consider grinding here for awhile.

This quest seems bugged at the moment, seems no one had this problem until the recent patch. When you attack Foreman Bonds, in the middle of combat he will suddenly stop fighting you, and run back to his exact spawn spot on his platform, regain full health, and if you are close enough...he will redetect you and come after you again. This process will simply repeat itself...he can't be killed it seems. I am a lvl 25 Pally, Retribution. I have reported this just today, 6/6/09 to WOW in game support...so I guess we'll see what they have to say.

When Foreman Bonds runs low on health (around 5-10%), he yells ""Goibon goibon!"" (which much likely means ""guards guards!"") and summons to dwarf adds. Dwarf adds do not drop any loot, but they give average amount of experience for that level mob. Might be tough for classes who have troubles at handling multiple mobs at once.

@v0dkacomrade: I had no such problems with it, don't know if it was fixed or you had bad luck.
