He patrols VanCleef's cabin atop the ship. I've noticed that if lower levels get too close to the boat on the second and third level, it's possible to accidentally pull him along with all the mobs that he brings along the way resulting in a wipe. The solution is to have the lower levels (18 and below) stay on the ramp to the second level while a higher level goes and pulls the mobs individually from above until it's clear.

He drops the much sought after Emberstone Staff which is the equivalent of the Horde's Crescent Staff. Patrols around the ship with a few other mobs. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just make sure you don't accidentally aggro him or else he drags a ton more guys to you.

As of patch 2.3 Captain Greenskin now wears a hat resembling the First Mate Hat.

iv'e now run deadmines five times in search of the harpoon this guy drops, and every time he has dropped the staff instead of the harpoon, does the harpoon not drop if the staff does? i would really like to know, this is startng to tick me off

Kommentar von 92921

It's only drop 1 blue item from every boss in DM. So if you get the staff then you dont get the polearm this time.

Congratulations on defeating Van Cleef's hired bodyguards so far, but now for his most faithful. Captain Greenskin, the to-be conductor of the ship, prowls the decks, making sure the goblins are carrying their weight. He has two bodyguards with him usually, and has a large harpoon that he battles with. He also can Cleave, dealing heavy damage. Take him down, then prepare to face the man himself, Van Cleef.

Duo'd with mage and warlock both in mid-30's. Have VW pull the captain when he gets closest to the ramp, have mage sheep one attendant and then fear other one. Deal with them one by one as they come back. Easy. Dropped the staff, and on to VanCleef!

There's a little trick/exploit that will make your fight a lot easier. Make your healer stay on top of the cannon next to the ramp leading up to the last floor (the cannon that is actually an extension of the floor, not the one on top of it), and make your tank pull the boss to the ramp. Once your healer starts throwing heals the adds will aggro on him/her and enter evade mode since they can't reach him. That way you don't have to deal with them and focus on the boss himself.

Just make sure you deal enough threat to him so your healer won't steal your aggro (if that happens the boss will enter evade mode as well and reset any damage dealt to him).

Same trick can/should be used on Van Cleef himself.

Kommentar von Monjaru

I just ran through on my Druid, thinking I'd get the staff easily. ...the polearm dropped instead. Can a druid even use polearms?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well we actually is in there evry time you run the instance.He's just before Van Cleef , walking around with 2/3 guards.The thing is that he "disappears" after having walked the whole way before VC's "house".But if you just wait 5-10 secs after that he'll just respawn from where he came and will walk again , disappear , etc..He's always there.

Also , the staff is a killer.Just too bad it's BoA.I'm currently soloing the DM for money , cleared it five times in two days , he gave me the staff once.I want the Blue BoE weapons , might get some money from them :) but it's like I'll never drop them , I mean lol he drops one of them like 2 times in 1000 tries :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

how is the staff of wesfall any better? staves are mainly stat boosters for casters, and the emberstone has much better stats than the westfall one. the only thing that the westfall staff has over the emberstone is like .7 more DPS or whatever. i got both of them today with my alt, disenchanted the staff of westfall.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i've done VC and everytime he drops the harpoon and never the staff

am i just really unlucky?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did that instance 9 times, 5 times succesfuly with my mage, and it droped on the 9nth time. FINALLY! Then on my 10 try, I was looking for these blue gloves that dropped the last time I was there but someone else won the roll. Guess what? the staff droped AGAIN! I swear, that thing is programmed to piss people off.

Kommentar von Thottbot

How much of a chance would i have to get this staff on my first run. Since im horde it is really hard for me to get to vc. so i dont have many chances to run this but I WANT that staff!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Pretty good, I ran it first time today. now just gotta level up to be able to use it..

Kommentar von Thottbot

I use my level 49 rouge and help friends through there, I accutally did a run about 2 hours ago and the staff dropped. So yeah staff still drops, don't know the rate that it drops but it does.

Kommentar von Thottbot

HUGE HUNTER WEAPON!

Kommentar von Thottbot

i have been through the dead mines about 5 times and got the emberstone staff all 5 times

Kommentar von Thottbot

When I went yesterday with my 19 NE druid, a 33 priest, a 20 pally and two mages Greenskin actually dropped the staff. We rolled, and guess who got it: the 33 priest who already had like two. DARN THAT BoE!
Anyways, we got to VanCleef, and since this was the first time actually coming so far in DM, my heart was beating fast. We attacked, killed VanCleef, and as we went for his sneaky blackguards I died.
"OK", I thought, "after all we have 2 people who can ress." All of a sudden the pally left group, we had no idea why. "Well, theres still the priest."
Apparently everyone in the group had left, so it was the 33 priest vs. 5 or 6 lvl 20 elites, so of course she left. I didnt even get to loot VanCleef! And after an hours work!

P.S.
It seems that the 33 priest had a lucky day: she also got a BLUE ring for lvl 18! (BoP, ofc). I'm gonna get trauma every time I hear "Need before Greed" or "roll for ..." from now on.

Kommentar von Thottbot

we were runnin first try *well it was my first try* we got staff rite wen we killed him tho i wanted polearm to have both gargoyles bite and it.....

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol ive done vc 117 times over all my chars and seriously its random no real pattern but sometimes when one person drops a certain wep then the whole run bcomes like a mage run or paly run or rogue run if u dont get it thats to bad ppl

Kommentar von Thottbot

well i did this yesterday with my 20 mage, in a group with 3 30 hunters and a lvl 19 priest.

we finally got to greenskin without dieing and didnt focus on his guards but bashed on greenskin, we were fighting him right in front of vancleef.
and then it happened. we had greenskin with less then 100 hp left. for reasons unknown, the three pets ran intro vancleefs hole and attacked him and his guards. the pets died within 10 seconds and we tried to run but they stunned us, the hunters quickly used feign death and me and the priest got slaughtered. the hunters hs'ed out while we were still lying there.

whenever i hear the word deadmines i have to cry again

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol

wierd stories here... last time my friend ran my other friend in vc and cookie wand dropped and ember staff ( god damnm mage run ) but ofc i wasnt there so wow.. oh well. 1/3 rate is pretty sweet though... and also like 25% cookie wand drop or what is pretty sweet too. i though wand is like freakin 5%. lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol

by the way im a mage if you didnt figure out that so far ><

Kommentar von Thottbot

On my other character this staff dropped most of the times i went round DM (i was a rogue so i didnt need it). When i go around with my mage it doesnt drop, i must have really bad luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

got the staff 2 out of 4 times i did DM
never got the belt though.. want the full set lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not only did he drop the staff but also he dropped magefist gloves! do a search on it!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Everytime i run that instance i either get bailed out on by my group members, have to get offline right in the middle, i dont complete cuz i keep dieing, or greenskin doesnt drop! its a wonder i didnt give up on DM! I h8 it so much but the thing i want most besides bandit mask is Emberstone! Grr!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dangit.... I've did Deadmines 6 times, I've got staff 0 times. I've got harpoon twice. I've got Belt twice.
The other two times it was harpoon, and i didn't win! Grr, VC dropped Cruel barb, when I was on my mage lol.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was hanging around with my lvl 26 mage in Westfall when this lvl 70 pally says "Anybody want a free ride through the Deadmines? I am going in". I joined, so did 3 more people.
I have never seen so many elite defias die at the same time :-)
The group was very nice and we shared all the loot. I got the Emberstone Staff. I was also on the quest where I had to kill Van Cleef, so I ended up getting the Staff of Westfall as well. I sold it to a vendor. Imo, Emberstone Staff is much better - even at level 26.

Kommentar von Thottbot

A bunch of my buddies and I tried about three times today in two hours and kept getting owned at Mr. Smite....I hate that Tauren!

Kommentar von Thottbot

i have killed 2xs didnt get on either

Kommentar von Thottbot

i have run vc 5 times today and 2 times he droppped the staff, 2 times e dropped the belt, and 1 time he dropped the harpoon. i cant use any of the wepons tho =(

Kommentar von Thottbot

i had a lvl 60 friend that gave me a ride to the deadmines i got the emberstonestaff from the fist timee i got there and all the other clotharmor.i'm alvl34 mage now and i could sy that it is one of the best staff till lvl 30.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ya ive done this VC run on my main for HORDE people wanting to become twinks. Ive noticed that the harpoon drops way more than emberstone staff.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i dont understand why hunters think staff weapons are so good. I am a hunter and i used a staff for a while and it was horrible. I think hunters are best with 2 weapons dual weilding or a 2 handed weapon...not a staff.

Kommentar von Thottbot

WTF for whoever said the drop % for the belt is 0.00% he is wrong it is 14.5%! so keep goin you will get it evntually!

Kommentar von Thottbot

i really wanna go in the DM and get the emberstone staff with like 4 other ppl with me or i would die cause i'm only a lvl 20 mage just learned teleport IF if anyone will reply me tell me your name and we'll get a group together you have to be in nordrasil i'll meet u at the DM

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been through deadmines like...11 times thinking VC dropped the staff.... I really wish I knew Cookie dropped it before now, All the groups I have gone in with, only one group killed Cookie, and that was my second time through and someone else got the staff... Grrr >.< I want staff..

Kommentar von Thottbot

Thottbot's just messed up i think. Possibly the 2.3% signifies the percentage out of the total number of items dropped from captain greenskin are the emberstone. Meanwhile, the 34% is the percentage of the drops that contain the staff.

The 34% is probably the right one, i got it pretty often, closer to 34 than 2.3.

Wierd the harpoon has never dropped for me, only the emberstone about 5 times...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hey were do i go to find this staff...

Kommentar von Thottbot

This guy now wears a pirate hat.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He doesn't drop Cruel Barb
VC drops Cruel Barb

Kommentar von Thottbot

LOLZ HE WEAR HAT NOW LOLZOMGGG

Kommentar von Thottbot

hay im a new guy to WoW and im wondering how to enter that Heroic mode?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Heroic mode is for high-up-there instances in Outlands, mostly, to provide more challenge for 'high-bies' so they dont get bored. there is no such thing as heroic deadmines, WC, BFD,Stocks,Strat, scholo, DireMaul,ragefire chasm, Razrofen Kraul, Razorfen Downs or any other Azeroth (non-outlands) instances that I missed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

heroic?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I could really need that staff, as i am a lvl 16 druid and will soon be able to go in to the Deadmines.

Watch out Captain Greenskin, here i come!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is he a rare respawn or somthing if not where is he ?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is it worth binding with the emberstone staff if im a 20ish mage?
like should i wait till i was 70 and got some unber staff somewhere? =P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This was my first instance, and I'm a little confused...
I remember seeing someone at level 16 in Elwyn Forest with a sweet Mace, and he said he got it in this dungeon.
However, all the good &*!@ is soulbound once you pick it up.
Is there a way to... un-bind something? It would make life a helluva lot easier >_>

how old are you?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just soloed Deadmines as lvl 40 Draenei hunter with a cat. Greenskin and VanCleef were the two hardest fights, with VC as the toughest. But all went down nicely :) I got the staff from Greenskin, but wanted the belt for a rogue friend. Next time... But the trip gave 25-30 greens and lots of linnen and wool. Nice for DE and first aid.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i soloed it as a lvl 40 rogue easy easy... but i have to say VC was pretty hard with the rogues. also mr.smite is so anoying he kept on war stompin me.... all in all it took me about 15mins to finish...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i meant uber not unber

Kommentar von Allakhazam

a 30-32 druid woudl not have an "easy" time soloing, i had a real hard time soloing at 40 with new mail on my hunter, the pulls in the smelting room can get very out of hand, but a cat formed druid could probably do it. id say the minimum druid solo level would be about 32-34, but it wont be easy, as vancleef and his guardians can be tough considering they are not that far from your own level

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i can solo this guys since 32 as BM hunter just have pet aggro then jump on cannon if pet dies your still safe so its very very easy

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ive been listening too many people say how it was hard for them at lvl 40 to solo this instance. It was actually easy for me at lvl 35. For VC all you need to do is kite his rogue body guards while your pet attacks VC. Overall I found it easily to solo as a lvl 35 hunter

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not bad for a lv 19 twink caster. I'd want it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

yes you can solo it very easily because lvl 30-40 ppl take me through it. so yes it is possible

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is it possible to solo deadmines with lvl 30 32 druid? I want to try, because i need defias leather for my rogue, i'll do it as many times as it needs.
