Darkshore 8.1 F.A.Q.

5 posts in this topic

This guide will help answer your questions regarding Darkshore 8.1. Note that Darkshore is currently buggy. Also, the elites/adds hit way too much than they should (from what I saw Youtube and experienced). Plus sometimes there are double spawns. So, you may want to team up with other players. I hope the developers change the damage modifiers for elites to 1/4 or even 1/3, of what they currently at. I also hope the developers fix the bugged items on Darkshore that disappear after use like pets.

A. What is Darkshore (8.1)

Darkshore is a new 8.1 map that allows you access to 355+ gear, mounts, pets, and toys. Note that the drop rate is very very low. So, if you are planning on gearing your char, do Arathi Highlands instead.

B. How do I get to Darkshore

1. As alliance you can head to Stormwind docks, and find the deck with the ship that takes you to Darnassus. You will find a portal to Darnassus there. Use it, then move out of Darnassus, and finally fly to Darkshore.

2. Use the Mount Hyjal portal in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. Then, fly to Darkshore.

3. In the future, a quest will be available that will allow you to unlock the portal to Darkshore in Boralus/Zandalar (near the Arathi Highlands portal).

C. I cannot find any players, what do I do

You will find huge phasing issues in Darkshore. So, you would have to reset the phase from time to time. This can be accomplished by creating a "Premade Group" then leaving it. Do it whenever you feel you are all alone in Darkshore. Hopefully, those issues will be fixed in the future.

D. I cannot find X elite, what do I do

Sometimes elites do not spawn at all. Just move on.

E. I found the X elite, but it is not attackable.

Some elites become attackable during the week where your faction controls the map. Keep in mind that the world boss only becomes attackable when your faction is controlling the map. Currently, it is horde week. It will reset on Wednesday (tomorrow).

F. How do I see the elites on map?

You can accomplish this with addons. Download and install the following addons:

Note: The addons are not Firestorm friendly. You will notice around 5 elites missing (when you are in Darkshore). When you open your quest log, click the new icon. Those missing elites are marked with red icons. Navigate to the following link, and read the first comment. It includes the coords to those missing ones.

G. How do I ress when the button does not work?

Log out and back, then click the button. If your corpse is gone and you cannot find it, use the spirit healer.

H. Do the items actually drop?

I have managed to get most of the pets, toys, and one mount so far. I got around 3 items after farming Darkshore elites on multiple characters (not worth the time). Keep in mind that some items disappear on use like:

I have personally lost it after farming it on all my chars (a single drop). It was a very painful experience. So, you may want to hold on the items for now and not use them until they are fixed.

I. Why cannot I see world quests?

World quests are available only when your faction is controlling the map.

 

Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply. If Darkshore is controlled by alliance, you get the quests, and vice versa.

The pets issues have been resolved.
