| − | '''Razorfen Downs''' are the ancestral burial grounds of the [[quilboar]], nestled amid huge brambles in the [[Barrens]], on the east side of the far southern edge. The [[Scourge]] have taken over much of the downs, and infest the burial grounds with the reawakened dead. The enemy level range is 34-37. It is also known as '''RFD,''' not to be confused with [[RFK]] or [[BFD]]. The meeting stone for this instance is located at {{coords|45|88|Barrens}}. There are two entrances to the actual instance; the first at 50,93. The second is at 53,71. |

| − | :''Crafted from the same mighty vines as [[Razorfen Kraul]], Razorfen Downs is the traditional capital city of the [[quilboar]] race. The sprawling, thorn-ridden labyrinth houses a veritable army of loyal quilboar as well as their high priests - the [[Death's Head]] tribe. Recently, however, a looming shadow has fallen over the crude den. Agents of the undead [[Scourge]] - led by the [[lich]], [[Amnennar the Coldbringer]] - have taken control over the [[quilboar]] race and turned the maze of thorns into a bastion of undead might. Now the [[quilboar]] fight a desperate battle to reclaim their beloved city before Amnennar spreads his control across the Barrens.'' |

| − | == General notes == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Razorfen Downs has a more menacing atmosphere than many lower level instances before it due to the presence of the [[Scourge]]. Loot here is valuable and useful but you can expect a workout in order to get it. If you are between levels 34-37, have a group of people you trust, a couple hours or so to spare and are looking for a more intense fight than what you will normally experience below level 37, chances are you will enjoy this instance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As a result of being taken over by the [[Scourge]], the mobs populating Razorfen Downs are predominantly [[undead]]. The [[priest]] ability [[Shackle Undead]] shines here as a staple form of [[crowd control]]. The earlier [[quilboar]] mob groups usually consist of one [[humanoid]] caster (Geomancer or Necromancer) and several [[undead]] tanks (Withered Warriors and Reavers). Another strategy is to have the [[priest]] [[Mind Control]] the Death's Head Necromancer and use the mob's version of [[Shackle Undead]] against the nearby [[undead]] tanks just before the caster dies. The group only needs to worry about interrupting the [[Mind Control]] battle. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Also of note are the various patrols of weak skeletons and non-elite mobs in the [[Spiral of Thorns]]. These can easily be taken care of with AoE. Be sure to communicate your intent with the group when pulling mobs and [[Power Word: Shield|shield]] your AoEers appropriately. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[Tuten'kash]]'s chamber, or "the gong room," there are mobs straight ahead to the right and left. The sharp angle of the left wall may obscure your vision of these mobs, so either scout ahead or remember to tackle this left mob group first. Pulling the right mob group without handling the left may result in [[add]]s and eventually a wipe. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Deeper into the dungeon (the [[Spiral of Thorns]]), the mobs change to a banshee and skeleton type. The banshees are casters with silence, so plan your anti-caster attack accordingly. Further in still are skeletal summoners who, if allowed to cast, will summon non-elite shadowcasters to attack you. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Close to the entrance of the [[Spiral of Thorns]], you may come across what looks like a passable shortcut, but is not. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is possible to take the right fork (toward the banshee/skeleton types) and deal with that side first before heading for the left fork and the [[quilboar]] types. This means you will fight [[Glutton]] first followed by [[Amnennar the Coldbringer]], which may be desirable if time is a significant factor. |
