This insance is just north of the entrance to thousand needles from the Barrens, a bit west from Razorfen Kraul

great loot in here :) my group only did to the coldbringer, via glutton, and we got the blue shoulders from glutton, the blue sheild from Ragglesnout, and the blue mail chest and the dagger from the final boss, along with about 10 green drops (weapons and armor) and 3-4 recipies, really fun insance to do, but its a bitch getting a group for it.

The final boss is noted as Tuten'kash (the spider) however that's the first boss and the real boss is generally considered the lich Coldbringer.

just wondering if any other paladins can tell me: Is it AOE grindable? cuz rfk is not AOE grindable because of the amount of healing from totems the mobs in there put down. Just wondering if it is the same here. Ive run it before just forgot :] any info is appreciated. thanks

Only quest you should pick up before going Razorfen Downs is https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3341 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3341  in Magic Quarter at Undercity. Requieres lvl 37

some of the boars drop totems but there isnt many

the real items for rogues in that place are swine fist, coldrage dagger, fleshhide shoulders

A comment fron Thottbot:

Thought I'd add my 2 cents here. I've done this place many times farming small brilliant shards.

RFD is located in the southern barrens, just north of the great lift on the east side of the road. You'll see the meeting stone from the road. To get to the instance, just go straight and a little right. You'll see an enormous pig head made of branchs or something. Then you have to kill about 6 lvl 35 elite pig looking dudes one at a time to get to it.

This place has lvl 39-40 elites, mostly in groups of 2-3 elites and 2-3 non elites. They're almost all undead so priest can shackle away.

Go to the cathedral in stormwind to pick up the quest Bring the Lite (alliance, sorry no idea for horde). The quest reward is a 1h axe or a melee type necklace. This quest requires lvl 39 to pick up I believe. Once you're in the instance there is a guy that starts an escort quest as well. Please let me know if you know of any other quests, horde or alliance.

Once you're in the instance, go right and go past about 4 sets of mobs and you'll be in the spiral. As soon as you get into the spiral you'll see Glutton. He's a big ugly stitches dude. Do your best to pull him back up to the path you were just in and you'll be best off. I think he's a 39 elite. He drops either a green one handed axe or some sweet blue lvl 37 leather rogue/feral druid shoulders, luckily most of the time he drops the shoulders. Go right and follow the spiral up to Amnennar the Coldbringer.

There's about 3 sets of 2 elite guys that slowly patrol the spiral, be very careful to take them out as they will inevitably chain pull other groups of mobs on you. Additionally, there are about 3 sets of 2 non elite skeletons that run up and down the spiral, same story with them.
Take care to not go too close to the left side if you're lower than lvl 40, as you will aggro pull a guy on the edge above you. They will chain pull and there will be 50 guys on you by the time they run down the spiral to get you.

The rare spawn guy, Ragglesnout, will be about half way up the spiral by a hut if he's there at all. Everyone has different luck, but I've done this instance many many times and only seen him twice. He drops a sweet 2h sword, a blue shield and a mail belt, all lvl 39 or so. I got the belt once and the shield once.

At the top of the spiral (and after about 15 sets of mobs) is Amnennar the Coldbringer. She is a lvl 41 elite. About twice per fight she will do somethign to blast you back. If you keep your back to the wall there you will not fly far, otherwise she could blast you right off the edge and you'll get back in time to see your dead party and a $%^&ed off lich king. After she gets to gets down to about 75% health she summons 3 spirits to come help her fight, then again at 40% she summons 4 more. These guys all despawn when she dies so keep your dps on Ammennar. I've heard tricks about hunters using volley to aggro them all then feigning, just to buy time for them to run back and forth. Whatever you do, don't have your party separate and try killing them, you're wasting your time and your healer won't keep up. Of course, I"m talking about a party of lvl 39's, bring your 60 mage to grease them all and forget what I just said. Ammennar seems to mostly drop the mail chest and mail head armor, shammy gear if I recall. Next I'd say she drops the plate armor and cloth lich chest and the dagger least often. BTW, she drops 2 blues most of the time, sometimes just 1 blue and a green. Kill her to complete Bring the Lite quest.

AFter you kill her, go back down the spiral and where you took a right after killing Glutton, go left and you're on your way to Mordresh Fire Eye. Just follow that path until you find a fork in the road. You'll pass about 4 more sets of mobs and 3 patrols. The little skellies fall easily with some AoE. Have your warrrior aggro them all, hunter drop an immolation trap and use volley, then mage aoe's right along and they'll all fall in seconds. Mordesh starts throwing fireballs once most of the little skellies are pulled and it's hard to not pull them all at once. The warrior,pally or hunter's pet can easily tank him while you take care of the little guys. He drops a blue every time, a cloth belt, caster necklace or an offhand.

Now you can go to the back way to Tuten'kash. You'll end up in a small room with about 4 sets of mobs in it. Once you've cleared it, there's a gong in there, ring it once to summon a set of mobs, summon again, same thing, then the third time it summons Tuten'kash. He drops like 10 different blue gloves that can be good for anyone, some plate armor or a one hand mace.

This is a great place to farm Small Radiant Shard. If you kill all the Bosses excluding Ragglesnout, u should hav a minimum of 4 shards depending on how many blues the guys drop...
And this place is realllly easy for a hunter because u can just run to Tuten'kash, feign death, kill mobs around the gong, summon spidies, wait till they get to around the gong and attack 1 and most of them should pull, if other mobs pull kill the spiders and feign death or just slaughter others, and other bosses are easy, just run near a boss feign, stand back up, kill, DE drop.. =]

Completed this dungeon with only 2 people. (32 retri paladin and 33 elemental shaman) without twinked gear or bind to account items. We couldn't complete the escort quest But the rest can be done with only 2

Doable with a mage and a priest duo at lvl37 with a few blues from RFK and SM Graveyard.
Oh and lots of mana potions. Just couldnt do the escort eventhough we started going left and clear that part first. Main problem there was running out of mana.
A word about the summoners....they can be shackled by the Priest so no summoning those nasty pew pew skellies. The casters just got sheeped so no probs there.
The only thing is that it can be annoying because it will take a while to do it mainly cause youll have to drink after each pull for mana as mage (at that level)....good thing we are practicly water vending machines.

Pretty good place to farm for silk if you don't feel like buying it. I got 100 pieces from a twenty-minute run.

Quite possibly one of my all-time favorite instances in the game. No matter how many times I run that instance, I just have a blast, start to finish. It's challenging, it's got good drops, and it is just so much fun.

This instance although in the Southern Barrens region, is now considered a Thousand Needles dungeon. The instance is now in the Thousand Needles level range and the entrance is in Thousand Needles. (Technically it is in Southern Barrens but if your restricted to ground mounts you must enter the sub-zone via Thousand Needles.

This Instance can Be done in two ways.

The long Way Which Involves most of The quests and The Boss's Or the short way that you only need to Kill 1 other boss "unless you run into the rare" Too get too Amnennar the Coldbringer.

Taking the Left from start will do the normal way, and taking the Right will Lead you too the spiral of Thorns. It just depends on what the Party demands. so if you get a group not wanting too do this just take the right, but as a tank your in command so do what you think is best.

(up this so You all can see this info if can)
