This is the coffer that is located in the Blackrock Depths instance, and you may have heard of the "coffer runs" which involve specifically going in for this. To get to the room, you may be able to sneak by the crowd at the top of the Arena, unless you have a lower level player with you, in which case you will have to complete the arena challenges. You then make your way up and around, and soon you will find yourself on a ledge with house-type buildings looking down on Lord Incendius. One of the buildings to the right has a back room filled with locked safes and a few stone guard statues.

You may notice there is a Dark Coffer straight ahead, but this cannot be opened until you get the key. To do this, back up into the room before the safe room and look on the left wall. You have to inspect the poster and it will tell you where the guard with the key is in the instance. You must then hunt him down and kill him, which can sometimes be a very long process since his position is random each time you reset the instance. Once you return, all you have to do is open up the Dark Coffer with the key and loot it. Note that there is NOT one quest item drop out of here for the Libram enchants for each person. Only one can loot it.

There is another optional thing to do here, and that is to open the rest of the coffers with the normal Relic Coffer Keys that you find off trash mobs or on the Auction House. The chests have everything from gray trash (which could sell up to 50s apiece) to bags of gems and bags of money. Here is the full list: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/object=160836 After you open all 12, Watchman Doomgrip will spawn, and the four stone guardians will come to life. If you successfully kill everyone, a secret latch will open below the Dark Coffer allowing you to open the chest for a rare item. If you are on the quest "The Heart of the Mountain," you complete that here. The drops that the secret safe contains can be located here: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/object=161495

The Dark Keeper drops the key to open this.They are usually surrounded by two elite guards. Only one will spawn in an instance; it's a chance which. The portrait will give you the name and location.

Dark Keepers:

Dark Keeper Bethek: spawns inside the vault room as soon as you open the portrait

Dark Keeper Ofgut: makes up one of the groups in General Angerforge's location.

Dark Keeper Pelver: located at the Domicile, towards Pyromancer Loregrain

Dark Keeper Uggel: quite a close walk; walk outside the vault room and go right to the last room. He is near the entrance where all the golems are.

Dark Keeper Vorfalk: he is in the bar room, the Grim Guzzler.

Dark Keeper Zimrel: situated at the Arena, where the Spectators are.

How can I get the Burning Essence?
I Can't find this Coffer

Kommentar von Allakhazam

soloed level 60 rogue to get the key you just distract him or him + a few others (make sure at least one doesnt get distracted and keeps patrolling) then sap him when the 1+ mob is a good distance away (about the range of distract) and you can repeatably sap him and the gaurds will no longer stay with him kill him at your liesure easy kill Good Luck Hunting *note that is for the one patroling just enar the coffer*

for the one in the arena just sap one and tank them easy fight

didnt fight the others i am not a MC equiped rogue so just regular old shadowcraft its not tough

Err... did this change this coffer in 1.10? I was under the impression you had atleast a 100% chance to get ONE of either three(blood, essence, eye) but last night when I did it I got nothing except for a crappy engineering recipe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I finally got a group willing to go to the vault... and all it had were some very nice blue plate bracers. No eye, no blood, no nothing else.

Any idea where to get the black blood now? Is it just insanely rare?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Only one drops at a time?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Night Elf hunters can also solo this. It takes more time then a rogue cause you basically run-Feign Death-shadowmeld-run and repeat until your at the painting. Kill the mob nearest to painting then run to painting and FD. When you read the painting pray the keyholder is not at the bar, as this takes a very long time to FD to, better to reset the instance and try again.
Other keyholders (domicile, hall of crafting, arena) are easy to get to. Just assasinate them (using your pet and frost trap to get rid of adds) then loot and FD.
Expect to die occasionally when FD gets resisted or when you make the occasional mistake...it can become very frustrating.
So far I solo'ed this 3 times, gave up twice, and ended up with just over 8 gold repaircosts, 3 useless green items and the eye quest item...no sign of the burning essence I need.

Good luck

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Gawd I hate this instance. As of now 13 sucessful coffer runs and not 1 essence drop, getting very frustrating.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can anyone explain where these spawnlocations are? I does not help me to say "domicile, hall of crafting" - can anyone come closer to a guide on this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Had my first 'successful' coffer run tonight solo. Feral druid with decent gear. Stand right up against the wall and read the portrait - mobs don't aggro. Then find the keeper, slap a regrowth+rejuv on, maul him down in bearform, loot key, die (sadly). Rezone and loot. Yes the repair costs quickly add up but at least you can solo Incendius on the way through to offset them a bit.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I need the burning essence from this, but I can't find it? Anyone know where it is?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok thanks for the info, I'll try this tomorrow. Can a 60 mage can solo this? With sheep and frost nova?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Think this is soloable for a 60 rogue?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo this thing all the time. Takes from 10-15 mins.
Gotta be a rogue though. Its too far in for other classes
to sneak and you need vanish/sap really. So that leaves
druid out also.

First off you do NOT have to open all the relic coffers to
do the dark coffer. Just looking at the portrait spawns
the mob. Then just read where to go. The only 2 not soloable
are the West Garrison one and the one IN the vault. You can
try to seperate his guards with sap and distract but it just
is easier to go out and right click your portrait- reset all
instances and try again.

The ones that spawn in the domicile, hall of crafting, and
the arena are cake. You might need a major healing pot.
Depending on luck/gear. Overall easy fight- they are suseptable
to stuns/kicks all the rogue tricks. Kill the key holder shift-
right click loot quickly then vanish. The one that spawns in
the bar is easy but takes more time. You have to clear all
the patrons around him or they'll attack you even if you've
done the arena event. Just steal the Grim Guzzler key to make
them attackable- use dark iron ale to lure and clear.

The directions the guy gives below are the LONG/WRONG? way. Just zone in
pick the gate walk straight ahead- go right and stealth all
the way to the hall of crafting - follow the ramp up and you're
there.

As for the blood/eye/burning items used in the librams. They
are still spawning very regularly. I got so many I don't even
loot them anymore. Usually its 1 green item and a libram item.
Its also been just the libram item vice/versa just a green.
Some of the greens are quite valuable like enchant riding skill.

Good luck.

You go into the relic coffer room, open the doors and do the encounter. Then you go look at the portrait which is haning on the wall and *read* the text that goes with it.

The text will give you a the name and the location of the mob carrying around the key. This is random.

Good luck.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Dark Coffer can also drop the same items that appear in the Chest from the 7 Dwarves, though only 1 at a time and a 1/10-1/20 drop rate.

If they were removed from this list, then they shouldn't've been.

IF YOU SPAWN DARK KEEPER BETHEK, CONTINUE READING:

He patrols from The Black Vault to the door leading back into Shadowforge City, and has four guards that patrol with him.

Most comments about getting the Dark Keeper Key say to skip this keeper because of his four guards and his precarious spawn location. However, in WoW Classic, I was able to solo this guy as a 60 Rogue. Here's how I did it:

Talents
First, I was in this spec, not intentionally for Bethek, but because I was experimenting with it while running lowbies through SFK and Cath Lib. I feel like the only thing that is actually important about this spec for Bethek is Improved Sap.

Strategy
I didn't kill Warder Stilgiss or Verek, or any of the trash mobs outside the Black Vault. First, I opened my typical 11 coffers. Then read the painting, which spawned Bethek. Immediately Vanished so I wouldn't aggro anything. Then, go back into the coffer room, and stand near the rear wall, near the Dark Coffer. Bethek and his four guards will come into the room momentarily, and pause near the back wall. When the guards are at the furthest point in their patrol, sap one of his guards. Bethek and the other three will continue their patrol. Wait until they are in line with Stilgiss. Once that happens, attack the sap'd guard. I personally just used Cheap shot and Kidney Shot when I could to keep him stunned. While fighting him, backpedal into a far corner, and jump into one of the open vaults. The guard will follow you up until the vault door. He won't de-aggro, and will still be in range. You can keep attacking him and kill him. Once he's dead, start eating to heal back up. You will likely spend the whole next patrol from Bethek eating. Once at full health again, sap another guard when they get near the rear wall once again. Keep doing this method until it is only Bethek alive. Then you can take him out easily on his own. Note: If at anytime your Imp Sap doesn't proc, and you get knocked out of stealth when trying to sap a guard, just Vanish. Also recommend waiting for your Vanish to become available again before resuming the strat (or just using Prep, if you have it).

The point is, if you are right along the back wall and can use Imp Sap on one guard at a time, you won't aggro Stilgiss or Bethek (when he returns on his pat) if you are back in the far corner, inside a vault. You can take out the guards one at a time using this method, until you have Bethek alone.

Also to note, Bethek will cast a debuff on you called "Amplify Damage," which increases all physical and magic damage you take by 100%. It doesn't last long (I don't know exactly, but I noticed it when it had 7 seconds left and I didn't have it very long before that, so probably starts at 10 seconds). When you have this debuff would be a perfect time to hit him with a 5 combo point Kidney Shot.

Libram stuff does NOT drop if you're in a raid group for whatever reason. The chest will only contain greens.

Kommentar von Powertrain

This can be solo'd in Classic as a Tank Druid in Pre-Raid Blues, but it does require some setup, and a couple of runs back, so you can argue as to whether it's worth it or not. Given that you might not get the quest item that you need, this can take multiple runs.

Bring a Limited Invulnerability Potion before coming, and preferably a bunch of Coffer Keys in order to offset any costs you'll rack up here.
Prowl into the Coffer room through the Hall of Crafting. It's easiest if you've already got the Shadowforge Key.
Remove all your gear. You're about to die.
Shift out of form and pop your LIP. You've got 6 seconds of invulnerability. Open the portrait, and look at the engraving. It can help to take a quick screenshot here.
Die, run back. Put your gear back on.
Prowl over to the keeper. I got Pulver, who's in the Domicile. If your Keeper is alone, you might be able to kill and loot him without dying. Otherwise, burn him down, and loot him before you die yourself from the other stuff in the room.
Run back again if you died
Prowl back to the Coffer Room, past the minibosses - the dog does NOT have stealth detection. Use your Coffer Keys to loot the main Coffers. Leave at least one unopened so you don't trigger the Golems, and then open the Dark Coffer and retrieve your items

As you can see, this costs you ~5g in materials, one possible 10% repair bill, and your time. You can argue as to whether or not that's worth it, but it's doable.

Kommentar von supermage

Soloed as ret paladin in raid gear, using 3-4 invis potions per run. You'll have to fight a few fire mobs, and dark key keepers, and take a death or two. The libram items do drop from the dark coffer while solo, though not 100%. Sometimes there is only a green.

Kommentar von selkie47

Look for Warder Stilgas on the map. The Dark Coffer room is there.

If you go past the grim guzzler and see Incindeus below you, go thru the other path (contains constructs and miners) which will loop around.
