Hinweis 1:In der unteren Ebene ("Eiserne Bucht") folgt - direkt hinter der runden Schmelze - ein verschlossenes Tor mit Doppelflügel.Ihr werdet zu dieser Tür keinen Schlüssel finden, aber habt Ihr die Kanone vor dem Tor gesehen?Ein paar Meter vor diesem Tor ist ein kleine kleine Sackgasse nach links weg zu finden. Und dort findet Ihr ein kleines Pulverfass....Das Tor und auch das Fässchen sind in beiliegenden Screenshots zu sehen.Hinweis 2:Wenn Ihr auf dem großen Schiff in den Todesminen auch den letzten Boss gekillt habt, braucht Ihr keinen Ruhestein, um aus der Mine herauszukommen. Auch werdet ihr nicht zurücklaufen müssen!Neben dem Schiff geht es "links" nochmal in den Berg hinauf in einen Stollen. Wenn Ihr diesem Gegner-freien Stollen folgt, kommt ihr zum seitliche Ausgang und könnt von hier aus gleich die Quest Der Foliant der Ehre mitnehmen.

Located in Moonbrook, Westfall (entrance is in a house).

This instance is often called VC too, for Van Cleef, the dude (boss) at the end.

A word of caution. As you move through the Deadmines be careful of when you kill an elite mob before a door. Shortly after the kill a group of 2 or 3 casters will come in from behind you. If you're not prepared they can wreak havoc as adds.

This item also drops in VC which I just got off of a Defias Sailor today.

Must be a bug... that purple stuff does NOT drop in deadmines! Mabey naxx...

Kommentar von 9545

This is probably the most fun dungeon in the game.

Kommentar von 9347

VC means Deadmines.

Kommentar von Nerissa

I think my favorite part of this dungeon is that the pulls with elites in them are usually only singletons or pairs. (though that can get messed up if a lowbie melee runs right to them!)

The next favorite is, of course, Mr. Smite :)

Kommentar von 5997

is the exit a completely different place to the entry or is it a one way out only? im horde and have never run it.....
coz if its not that would be a handy way of farming twink gear

Kommentar von 15440

Probably my favorite instance in the game :D

Kommentar von 11107

Tauren Pirates? Cannons? Murloc Chefs? what isn't there good about this instance :)

FAR better than Wailing Caverns.

The exit is one-way. You can't enter through it due to a high ledge.

Kommentar von 52607

i did deadmines yesterday. me a lvl 28 hunter and a friend of mien lvl 36 warrior. we did all the bosses only to wipe out on van cleef. and he had black defias armour...

Kommentar von 55893

man that black defias armor kicks ass dude... i want it so bad...

Kommentar von 59364

About how much money can you expect to make if you solo this at level 40?

Kommentar von 65973

the deadmines is probably, the best instance to do for lvl 18 - 23 alliance people, far better than the stockades. it is possible to do the run without a healer if you are in a group. a few days ago i ran it with a lvl 18 warlock, lvl 24 warrior, and myself, no one died :)

great instance, but dont try it solo until lvl 40 +

Kommentar von 67691

Sometimes when u run this instance the mobs will drop blue items with really nice stats. The other day me and a few other ppl i was running with saw a really nice blue sword drop off of a unnamed mob.

Kommentar von 63832

hi im a lvl 21 hunter and i want to know how many people should i group with for this quest

Kommentar von 72738

This is the second lowest level instance in the game for RFC(Ragefire Chasm) is the lowest instance in the game which is located in Origmmar.
Fairly easy all what you have to do to avoid wiping is make sure to check for patrolling groups which are always elites and sometimes in group of 3 or 2, and make sure that you have atleast 1 person in your group same level or higher than Van Cleef, some people don't do that and complete the instance with luck and really good gear but i still suggest some one 21+.

Kommentar von 65973

i have run this instance many times in the lvl 21 - 29 range. as a group the best set up is to have a warrior as the main tank, the back up tank should be a hunter (hunters are best, if no hunter then druid), as hunters have pets that can do their tanking, and the hunter can range. the main healer should be a priest (as they can heal the most) then a shamman, if shammy is unavailable, take a pally, as pally's can DPS as well. the last member of the group should either be a warlock, mage or a rogue as they are also handy, with, sapping - transforming. best of luck have fun

=)

Kommentar von 76929

This instance reminds me of the movie Goonies! lol

Kommentar von Myzticj

Hey i was wondering can you do an instance solo?

Kommentar von 75777

yes you can do this instance solo but you have to be pretty high level compared to suggested level for the instance though, I was able to solo this from about level 37+ with my warrior.

Kommentar von 45647

This is a awsome place to skill Tailoring and Enchanting. On one run (with a booster) i got skill 1-77 enchanting and 1-63 tailoring on my altern. And it is also the most fun instance in the enitire game in my opinion.

~ Horde Traveling to VC (Deadmines) ~

The easiest way to reach this as a Horde character is to leave from The Undercity on the zeppelin to Grom'gol in STV. Once on the zeppelin, go inside and under to the back of the ship (right next to the propellers). As soon as the screen is finished loading from the zone change into STV, jump off the back into the water. Head for the beach of Westfall and the lighthouse from there.

This is by far the fastest way to VC for Horde.

EDIT: Due to the troubles faced by the Project Lore team, I have decided to add a special note: the path of the zeppelin from Undercity is different than the path from Org. Jumping from the UC -> GG zeppelin as soon as you zone will allow you to bypass all ?<skull>? mobs. There is no need to travel through STV and face likely death in a Pick-Up-Group.

This instance along with many others (ie. SFK) have received great buffs to weapons/armor that drop. Love to see some of the lowbies decked out in more blues than ever in 2.3

Kommentar von 85530

verry fun dunguen to solo makes you some money along with Stockaids (mispelled sorry) and Shadowfang Keep even better

Kommentar von 98371

One thing to watch out for in this instance is rowdy group members. This is the lowest level instance for alliance (I doubt they want to run into Orgrimmar to get to RFC) and it can have some players that haven't really developed online social skills yet.

On a more positive note, this instance gives great loot for it's level range and should deck you out for quite a few levels. Cruel Barb(https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=5191#comments) is one of the most saught after weapons for melee classes, and Emberstone Staff(https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=5201#comments) is also very nice.

Also, since 2.3 this instance has been nerfed down easier, and can now be done at a level range of around 17-20.

I personally find this better then Wailing Caverns, the equivilent instance for horde, since it is much shorter and the atmosphere is funner. Whatever you choose, be sure to make the best of this instance! ;)

Kommentar von 110468

Located in an abandoned barn it looks like from the outside, but inside its the defias hideout. Its very west of westfall, and is a nice instance for loot, and xp, and a fun instance overall.

Ythapa Ecaep.

Kommentar von 105506

Raesik u did miss something but like 90% of that u said was great/true fact,
but in WC can u get druid gear and some better bows/backs that is from lvl 19

Kommentar von Kamillah

What's slightly weird about The Deadmines though, is that you enter the dungeon at ground level and spiral downstairs until you reach the cave with the ship. From there you exit the instance -- and come out ABOVE ground level! :o)

Kommentar von Mylan

Another quest not mentioned in the quests tab is https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=388 (The Color of Blood). It does, however, require level 22, so you may want to save it for a second run if you're trying to knock the Deadmines quests out of the way. (The highest required for the other quests is level 15)

Kommentar von Ruinn

Can the door before the cove be lock picked? If so, what's the required level?

Kommentar von 122526

Ok I heard from a guilde mate today that there is a rare spawn underneith the ship. I do belive he said it was a shark. He didnt say anything other then that. So can anyone back him up on this mystery rare?

Kommentar von 140306

Me (lvl 19 pali) and my friend (lvl 31 pali) did this last night rather easily. Against the bosses, I just sat back and healed while he went crazy. I was suprised just how quickly we got through.

Kommentar von 153005

What is the required level to enter the deadmines?

Kommentar von 146999

Lvl 19+, without it you better not go.
Don't barge in there at level 15, this is asking for a failure.

Kommentar von Uthaine

any one know if the levers by the doors (the ones after the bosses) do anything ?

Kommentar von 160947

Soloable on a lvl 27 hunter, just takes awhile. I had my friend take vancleefs adds though.

Kommentar von 162870

a really fast way to solo as a lock is to run in and cast curse of agony on a whole bunch of them, and then let it tick. for teh foundry, run in, pull them all, then use fel domination (sorry destro and aff locks) and summon your VW, then sacrifice it and hellfire them all down. dont do this without the last rank of sacrifice tho...i tried that and it got them all to about 1/3 hp with lvl 64.

Kommentar von 148525

Can a lvl 42 Rogue with Combat Talents solo DM?

Just wondering cause I am considering trying to solo it.

Kommentar von chromeboi

I was really bored yesterday, and I got through all of deadmines by myself only to be killed by VanCleef :(

Is there any way for a level 33 Dwarf Hunter to kill VanCleef by himself (and his pet of course)?

Kommentar von 169906

I Spent a lot of time here on my alts because during your low lvls your gonna need some better loot so i came here for almsot ALL my alts!

Vc ofcourse was probably my first instance and it wasnt too bad...before the patch awhile ago where all those boss drops were pretty much greens it kinda sucked...but now they are all blue so thats much better...Ofcourse there is a bunch of gear here for all classes and green/blue boes drop like every instance....i got a lot of money here because i had a friend run me when i first started and i got all these greens that were just sitting in my bags and they didnt vendor for much so i put everything up in the ah...i put everything for 50s and 50s can be a lot because u will get a bunch of random greens and if u add it up u can get a few gold...

The first boss Rhahk'Zor is fairly easy...just tank him and kill him thats it...
Second boss Sneed's Shredder is a machine powered by one of those annoying goblins and after that Sneed comes out and you have to kill him right after so watch out for that...
Gilnid is another Green Goblin...so many goblins in here >.< and he sets u on fire and he has an elite with him to help but hes fairly easy
Mr. Smite is a huge tauren! he has about 2-4 stealthed mobs with him and every 25% he will stun the whole group in radius and he will grab a new weap! i try to stun him before he stuns me
Captain Greenskin has a few elites with him and he does a poison so pallys can always cleanse it so no big deal...
Cookie i usually kill after VC but hes easy hes a small murloc and hes a chef so he can heal himself so shock or kick him....
Vancleef is the last boss in Deadmines and is ver easy he just has a few elites with him that u kill just keep aggroe on tank...

this is just for you people that want to do vc and needed some info (: gl with the loot

Kommentar von 171272

the best way for this dungeon is to kill all the trash mobs for good exp but also dont charge if ur a warrior because it always brings extra mostly but not always so pull with a thrown/gun/bow best things

Kommentar von Toverdoos

Is it just me, or does wowhead tell me the player limit is 10?

That makes me wonder why anyone would walk into DM with a raid

Kommentar von 170325

how do i get the sound files for what they say, coz i never get tired of what mr smite says.

Kommentar von 194711

Alliance uses this duengon for twink gear, such as the 6+ intellect ring for healers / dps (mage, warlock, priest and more).

You should always look back after the boss and kill the patrol. If you don't kill the patrol it might lead to death.

This duengon is level 16 - 20 but i would recommend 17 - 20. 16 is a bit low.

Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von 207600

Just Wondering at what level can it be soloed?

Kommentar von mordarh

If your looking for money for your 30 mount this is a great place to
farm/run. In one run with greens, trash and money drops i can make about 5g
a run.:D

this is my favorate dungon of all

Kommentar von 37689

When going through the Deadmines, there is a locked door before Ironclad Cove with a cannon pointed at it. If you don't have a rogue or engineer or a skeleton key, you can go into the small alcove you passed before arriving at the cannon and loot the gunpowder from a small Defias Gunpowder barrel. This allows you to fire the cannon which eliminates the door and spawns an elite patrol (which can take a group by surprise if not careful) to investigate the noise from beyond the door.

This is NOT like the alli version of RFC. Much more challenging, most groups of lvl 15s WILL wipe. Tanks should have been to WC along with druids or shammys for that gear set. This is more of a Hunter/Enhance Shammy/Feral set. I love this place.

Stratigy=
1st Stage= Slow pulls, mostly norma Ncps. Elites should be handeled with ease. Rahk'Zor- Kill him then his adds. CC is also a good way to hold the adds.

Zone 2= Shredder Room- Kill the mobs carefully, as sneed patrols. Sneed- Don't make the mistake of thinking hes dead when the shredder falls. Hes weaker, but can hurt.

Zone 3= Foundry- Stay to the left as listed before. Stay away from the forages. Hint- Engeneers can get mats from boxes in the room. Gilind- Kill him fast. Thats all.

Ironclad Cove- If ur a full Druid group, swim to tha back to avoid Smite. Kill Cookie, Pallis can consecrate to hurt if they over pulled.

Greenskin- Drops the belt. Seems to be Prot Warr, so hold him from casters.

Edwin VanCleef- 2 Black guars spawn, then dps the hell out of him.

This is my favourite low-level dungeon, i was in first the time on level 12 on free illegal server, yesterday i was in on official and its realy big fun, to pwn all mobs inside + nice starting equip ;).

I realy recomede this dungeon, its not hard, but not stupid easy, its good for new players (for learn tactic and teamwork) and for veteran players (for their another characters ... or just for guys what played on free and now are they on official).

Nice to meet ya ^^.

P.S.: DM is nice to farm some gold to future levels too ... ;-).

i have a lvl 10 preist friend, and i took him through here 5x on my 48 , no probs took bout an hour, i bought him 4x 22 slot bags, he took all lot, after 5 runs we went to SW , he sold all the loot from 5 runs to a vendor, got 120g , he turned all the cloth into bandages, but other than that he sold it as he got it, we did nother 15 runs after that, he was lvl 26 after the 20 runs, and he had over 600g, , he bought me a nice eic gun for my lvl 48 hunters trouble, and he kitted himself out with all blues, fiery wep,lifesteal enchant,and he had an epic ring, so not bad for 4 hours work, 0 deaths. and over 600g, and 125 first aid ( for him, mine is 443 at lvl 48, the AH is amazing for buying cloth, allso if guildies(higher lvl and healers them selves, go to northrend and get the cloth but dont use first aid give it to me, 20x frostweave sells for 60g on darkmoon faire realm)

The wierdest thing just happened to me. Me and a fellow guildie were running this and he cleared everything except Vancleef and i was stayin at entrance so i would gain any exp so when he comes back for me so we can get Vancleef and hopefully blackened defias armor once we reach Vancleef he has disappeared..... Can anyone tell me what the hell happened?

Kommentar von 291696

Im level 76 and often do this instance cus it's fun and it drops good stuff for my mage.

If your on the lightbringer realm and need some help add lucilo.
ill be happy to help you.

Kommentar von Popslcles

Solo'd DM as a level 40 Fire Mage, with mostly rares.
Ran for a 16 hunter, who sometimes took aggro.

The entrance is in Moonbrook, Westfall. For those without a cartographer Moonbrook is pretty much at the bottom of Westfall. To enter the instance it can be tricky, as their are different paths and quite a few mobs. Might be easiest to keep your minimap zoomed out.

Kommentar von 303357

This dungeon is good for atmosphere and twinks,mainly rogues, like WC, combine Thiefs blade/Cookies tenderizer/buzzer blade/buzzsaw with the Armor of the Fang set and you have 1 very happy twink! if you cannot get the full armor of the fang(the belt and boots are annoying then fill out the set ith blakened defias, or the tunic of westfall from the quest series.

Kommentar von 309795

you were saying about not being able to get into the backway i agree if your a gnome but when i was on my drenei shammy i got back in and everything was normal it just depends on your jumping skill tobad the rest of the group couldn't get into DM the back way and in my realm if u want to do dire maul its normally LFG DM-E or DM-W depending on which one you want to go in

Kommentar von 309795

dreadlight7 did u do DM befor that because if you didn't reset the instance that explains it because bosses take long to respawn then mobs

Kommentar von Skurfer

Just got done with my first solo run in here on my level 45 Rogue. In an hour I came out with 81 Linen Cloth, 72 Wool Cloth, 11 Green items and a bunch of soulbound Boss Drops/Vendor Trash I sold for about 2g.

Adding the money I would have made from selling all the cloth and the vendor trash money I made almost 15g in this one run! Keep in mind that if you were an enchanter you could probably make a bit more from disenchanting all the soulbound boss drops and the greens that don't sell for much on the AH. (Although if my greens sell on AH I will make at least 10g more.)

So basically I made over 20g in an hour at level 45! And I'm a rogue so I have zero AoE moves. I'm guessing a warrior or pally with nice AoE moves could run through the whole thing a lot faster than I could and maybe even at a lower level!
All around a fun, easy, and lucrative solo run!

Kommentar von 313527

In one DeadMines run, while killing and looting all mobs easily seen, I received the following notable & auctionable loot.

78 - Linen Cloth
60 - Wool Cloth
3 - Red Defias Mask - (rogues love these)
3 - Blackened Defias Boots - (part of the Defias Set)
22 - Misc Green items
1 - EZ-thro Dynamite Schematic
1 - BS skill-level 85 plans (forgot name)

All of the above items are auctionable and generally easy to sell. I would recommend AoE farming this to anyone 60+. Most of the mobs are low level and easy to kill. My 71 Warlock had no problems at all aggro'ing 20 mobs then AoE'ing them.

Kommentar von Slayers

This was one of the easiest dungeons in the game for me but i will always hate it. List of wat lvls can solo it:
1. Warrior lvl 35
2. Mage lvl 40
3. Priest lvl 30
4. Paladin lvl 30
5. Warlock lvl 31
6. Rogue lvl 40
7. Shaman lvl 30
8. Druid lvl 28
9. Hunter 31
10. Death Knight lvl 55(Lol, they start off that lvl)
Hordes can do it but not on PvP realms

This instance has a very strong Goonies vibe. The whole, ship docked in a cave, the room with the pipes where Sneed is.

If only there was some kind of loot that dropped that referenced it.

Deadmines is not soloing at lvl 25 people lvl 35 is unless your 80 bought an item. wll have fun!

Kommentar von Slayers

Deadmines is so ez!

Kommentar von 325009

Great instance for levels 10 to 23. after level 23 all the enemy's are in the green and you dont get as much xp. i have used this instace for all my characters level 10 and up. i soloed this instance at level 30 on my warrior. they weren't that big of pulls but as long as you aren't a noob you should be able to do the same. i soloed all the way to Smite on a 22 pally i couldn't down VC though, cause he has to many little helpers. so yeah a 5-man group with levels 17(at the least)to 20 can easily run this. Just have an ok tank and a good healer and good dps. AND TRY NOT TO HAVE ANY NOOBS BCUZ YOU WILL WIPE REALLY EASILY IN THE GOBLIN PART!

Kommentar von 22gus

If you are farming the instance for gear/XP, there's a very easy way to speed things up at the end. The area from the dock is considered outside, so.......

Things you need:
- a high level character to run you, preferably with AoE capabilities and a mount.

After the door is opened (using cannon or rogue) and the pats are taken care of, the high level mounts up. Ride through all the mobs from the beginning of the dock all the way through Mr Smite, turn left at the top of the ramp, agro Cookie and mobs along that side. Ride back.

At this stage, all the lowbies should be walking to where Mr Smite was.

The high-level toon then comes back around and carries on agroing all the mobs, up the ramps, collects Captn Greenskin & VC himself. Then jump down to bottom of the ship where the lowbies are waiting.

Wait until all the mobs have followed you down to the bottom. Insert AoE capabilities here. Collect & profit :)

After running the instance a heap of times, I only found this out last night ;-)

Kommentar von 338077

You can not mount in Deadmines. It is inside. Mounting only works on the docks or on the ship. Levels 65-70 should easily be able to run this instance. My druid, level 70 Balance can run this in one pull including bosses. Thorns normally kills most of the non elites and the melee elites. Starfall and Typhoon will kill anything that isn't dead.

Kommentar von 52607

me and a friend both level 20 just 2-maned deadmines, up to and including van cleef with only a few wipes. its pretty easy as long as both of you are palladins.

After the bosses Rhahk'Zor, Sneed and Gilnid, It will always come 2 or 3 elite patrols, usually a Defias Evoker and a Defias Overseer. Don't forget them! It will also appear a Defias Taskmaster after taking the Defias Gunpowder. There is also a rare mini-boss if you turn left after you have killed Rhahk'Zor. His name is Miner Johnson.

Kommentar von Cjkiller06

Easily my favorite instance in the game, everyone should try it, horde or alliance. It was my first instance. and still is my favorite.

Kommentar von ascero

Just soloed this instance as a 53 Mage; easiest thing ever. Just watch when you blow the door; I was instantly surrounded by at least 6 mobs. Just barely managed to get out of there alive.

Ended up with at least 20 greens and 6 Blues, plus 4 stacks of Wool and Linen. I would HIGHLY recommend bringing someone else with you (low level) when you run it; that way they get the awesome gear. I just had to DE it, which really didn't give me anything anyway b/c of my level. After everything (AH the cloth and enchanting mats), I made about 10G.

An awesome instance to run. Took about 1.5 hour.

Kommentar von 417676

With the ability to turn off xp gain coming in Patch 3.2 I'm looking forward to trying to solo this instance with my lvl 19 twink. With 260 AP and 1313HP, plus the 1080HP of my pet it should be interesting to try it!

Kommentar von 422006

Does anyone know what level it is soloable for a survial hunter

Kommentar von 340256

You should see the heroic version of this. Mr Smite wasn't lying when he said he had to improvise.

Kommentar von 422006

There is no heroic deadmines!

Kommentar von 427932

At what level could a Fire-specced Mage solo this instance?

Kommentar von 423952

This pretty much describes the Deadmines.

Kommentar von 422006

For some reason whenever i run some lowbies on my hunter, theres always a dps hunter who pulls all the mobs in the forge, and when the healer tries to be the hero and gets steam-rolled by the stampede and dies, they will always get angry at you and start mouthing off to the healer for getting themselves killed. Talk about "rowdy"...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Deadmines is quite accessible by a very enterprising group of horde... ride the blimp to Stranglethorn, then swim up the coast skirting as far out as you can then when you see the lighthouse come back to shore.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Foreword: I got to Sneed with a group twice and died. Next day had better group and finished the instance.

From the Recap mod here are HPs and DPS for the main bosses in Deadmines:
Rhahk'Zor 9060 HP / 20.6 and 21.2 DPS (twice)
Sneed 1877 HP / 28.2 DPS
Shreeder 7750 HP / 00.0 DPS (? :-/ )
Gilnid 2932 HP / 19.6 DPS
Mr. Smite 3904 HP / 19.5 DPS
Greenskin 2957 HP / 23.9 DPS
Edwin VanCleef 4261 HP / 23.9 DPS
Cookie 27.4 DPS
(we died here because we didn't care, so don't know HP)

Group:
Pally lvl 21 - healer
Pally lvl 20 - secondary tank
(secondary healer with Mr. Smite and Edwin VanCleef)
Hunter lvl 19? - ? DPS and ranged I guess (didn't use pet much)
Warrior lvl 20? - tank
Mage lvl 20? - DPS (was tank for Sneed ;-) )

Died myself once during one of the fights because of too much aggro (cant remember where, but before the ship and after Sneed).

I don't know the accuracy of Recap, but if it's useful there it is...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Let me clear up some obvious mistakes... For one if you have a group of 5 (average player neither good nor bad) you should be the average level of 19 or 20, this intance (again for the average group) should take 1-1 1/2 hours. There are many good drops, the lavishly jeweled ring drops from the Goblin boss in the goblin foundry within the instance it is not found in a chest. The emberstone staff (a very good staff) does NOT drop from Mr Smite (He drops a very nice hammer) it drops from Captain Greenleaf (or whatever his name is) this is a simple instance but it is a first for many players so if a seasoned player brought their alternate character or main the seasoned character should explain to the group as much as possible about playing AS a group and what their roles are (i.e. in my first instance, DM, a preist for some unknown reason kept trying to tank and he ended killing the whole group and we had a failed run, although I did get the Taskmaster's Axe).
If the group starts rolling on items they cannot use (i.e. a preist rolling on the taskmasters axe or something) then the person should be rebuked and be taught about being less greedy then the next time they roll on an unusable item they should be booted (once booted in an instance I believe you have 60 seconds to leave before you are teleported to your capital city (i.e. human-Stormwind) note that this is the person being booted NOT the group)... Sorry this is so long, oh it should be possible to solo the instance around level 30 the only way you should be wiped out (this is true for ANY class) is attacking to many mobs at once or during the battle with VC.

I solo'ed this last night. Level 31 sub-Rogue. Improved sap and preperation. I did every boss, stealthed through most of the level 18 non-elites.

Whole thing took me about 30 minutes.

At the end, on top of the ship, I sapped one of Greenskin's guards, ambushed Greenskin. Killed greenskin and the other guard, vanished. Healed up and went back to the guard.

This is how VanKleef went:
Sap guard.
Ambush Van Kleef.
Shrinkray Van Kleef.
Summoned a compact harvest reaper.
Evasion on.
SS till 5 combo points, expose armour.
SS till 5 combo points, eviscerate.
At this point... i had about 6 20-elite guards on me. Van Kleef died, i vanished and watched my compact friend perish.

i didn't read all the comments, but it seems there are 2 safety net places in the ship docking area when a pull goes wrong. it seems a lot of people know this trick in deadmines, but i just haven't seen any posts openly discussing them. maybe it's a bug that only happens to me during those 2 runs (yes, the safety net is proven working on 2 seperate occasions).

once you get on the ship, there is this rock looking thing (might be a wheel or something) that adhere to side of ship on the 2nd floor deck. there is a small gap (i believe) between this wheel and the deck of ship. when a pull went bad, i saw this groupie jump onto this wheel, the mob will just stand at the deck watching him. this groupie even pulled out a gun and shot the mob. the mob did not get on the wheel. after standing on the deck for maybe 5 sec, the mob went back to his original position.

there is another this wheel looking thing on the top deck, just outside the room of VC. our priest jumped onto it and heal the fight without mobs able to get to him even he got the aggro. obviously, this is a bug, but it seems it has been proven working twice.

it seems all mobs can do is to run even means they have to run up a cliff. i have seen mobs running up steep hill to attack me. but if it's a place that requires jumping, mobs will not be able to reach it.

I did this instance with my level 30 paladin at the time with two level 18's one was a mage the other a warrior.
We beat it with only dieing once in the goblin room with the engineers. bad judgment call on my behalf lol but other then that it was a breeze...I just pretty much tried to keep all the argo with me and was main healer...

I soloed deadmines at level 40 i could have maybe did it a little earlier but i didn't feel like trying.

i found lil timmmy's peashooter off sneed in vc, why isnt this on the blue list and has anyone else ever found it?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Me and my mate have playing on a RP server. Our mains are on horde side, but after BC we've decided to make an alliance character too. Ive made a shammy(enh), and he's made a priest(shadow). I was lvl25 and he was lvl21 when we decided go through on DM only together. We cleared the whole instance in 2h30m with one wipe(a stupid mistake).Although we had to use the aggro resetting point on the ship at VC.And dont think we got uber gear. We've used only those items what we made and found while questing(only with one blue, if i remember well).

Edit: we leveld on the ship both

Kommentar von Thottbot

whats the lowest lvl u can go in?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lowest level you can enter Deadmines: 10

Beast Mastery specced hunters can solo this at level 32 if they know what they are doing.

Healer: 15+
Tank: 18+
DPS: 17+

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is for all the lvls under 20 that get a run, unless the person running you has some aoe effects or is really high lvl. There is a reason that we are RUNNING you, so just sit back, wait until we clear and then loot everything. The worst thing that can happen is that you decide you want to help, and aggro 5 people. I ran someone, and i'm just a 38 shadow priest, w/o any aoe spells, when the person i was running decided to "help" they aggroed everyone within 30 yards and i was stuck fighting for my life. So if you get a run and are under 20, actually if you get a run, DON'T HELP

Kommentar von Thottbot

I play on Uther and everyone calls Deadmines VC (Van Cleef Obviously).

Now this is FUN place to see the Destructive power of a Fel Guard or Water Elemental. If you're a Warlock you can solo this place at about level 30, Void Walker and a whole lot of Soul Shards. Just have VW Tank and use Consume Shadows (VW Skill) instead of health funnel. When you get to VC have VW Aggro and hit him with Immolate, Curse of Agony and Corruption. After that just use Drain Life and then Drain Soul to quickly dispatch him. Once he's dead, get what you came for (his head and/or the unsent letter) and either Hearth out (while your VW holds back the remaining foes) or die and rez with a Spirit Healer.

I've been running people though DM over the last few days and my Fel Guard practically solos the entire Instance. The only time I ever actually use Health Funnel is in the Foundry (because of those damned Robots. Aside from that my pet just takes everything out. This allows me to focus on keeping the person(s) I;m running through DM alive so...yeah xD

K here is a complete guide to the DM (deadmines)

1. Enter the instance

ok the first thing you see is a narrow tunnel that opens up after a little bit, kill all the mobs here and move on to the second tun. Same thing here at the second tun kill all the trash, but this tunnel has a much wider area in front of you and a narrow tun to your right, after clearing the wide area head through the tunnel.

First boss = Rak'zhor or w/e...this guy has a MASSIVE amount of health and armor (still 1 shottable by a lvl 70 but by no other) anyways, get your tank to well...tank. Have healer keep heals and HoT going as Rak has slow, high damage attacks. Dpsers go all out on this boss or the fight could take a while. Once hes down he drops either Rak'zhor`s hammer or a crappy green. Remember: after every boss patrols will come from behind you, take them out before you keep on going.

Part 2

Another tun, same as before just clear all the trash. but wait! right after exiting the Rak chambers theres a second, smaller tun heading to the left from the first one, in here theres a 15% (or something like that) chance of a rare spawning, he drops either Miner`s Cape or Gold-Plated Buckler which is a fairly good shield. now continue on until you get to a big door. open this door and get back. for this part the tank should ranged pull 1 or 2 goblins at a time and have the group take them out at the door you just opened. Up further in the room you will see the boss Sneed`s Shredder.

Once ALL the goblins have been cleared, pull/charge this boss.
He can do very decent damage and you need good heals for this guy. Take him out with good dpsing. Once hes down you will begin the second part of this boss. Sneed the goblin will jump out of his shredder and start attacking you. he is fairly easy but can do fast attacks so make sure your healers are paying attention. Take him out and head through the now opened door.

3

Another tunnel...this one has a few more elites scattered through then the rest however so be careful. Head through the door. This is the Goblin Foundry, the HARDEST part of the instance by FAR. Stick to the left wall and go down the ramp, killing the goblins as you go. Once you get to the ground floor STICK to the wall like glue and take out the enemies there, watch out the engineers have a 2sec cast that summons a robot to help them, which = more adds. the robots are immune to taunt so the tank will have to be using a lot of
Thunder Clap/Consecration on the bigger pulls/aggroes. (if you have a druid bear tanking use swipe)most groups will aggro about 3 engineers and 4 craftsmans at the same time sometimes as this is a very closed space and the guys LOVE running away.
If this happens have your druid (if no druid you have a much higer chance of a wipe) cast rejuvination on all party members that have taken even 5 dmg as you need as much hp as you can get here.

Once its all clear pull the boss and his 2 guards (or 1 if you pull carefully). The boss here is fairly easy, make sure he stays on the tank though cause he can do quite a bit of DPS against clothies. Take him out and head through.
NOTE: the pats that come after this boss are different than the last 2, this time 2 Taskmasters and a wizard will come.

4

Another tun, kill all the mobs and you will see a small "tunnel" going left from the main one, there is nothing here except the Defias Gunpowder which you need to use the cannon that unlocks the door. (you can also pick/blast/key it too which prevents the pirates from alerting to your presence).
2-3 pirates will come after the cannon blast so either get the whole party to back up or get the tank up front and ready to AoE. Head through. This is the boat part, just kill all the pirates and casters here. Once you get to the end of the wooden walkway STOP. You will see a chest a little ways ahead of you but it is a trap. on either side of the bottom of the ramp that leads up to the boat there are stealthed "rogues" that will attack. if you look up you will see the boss, Smite up at the top of the ramp, he will aggro if the rogues attack you/you attack them. Have the tank charge the 2 rogues and AoE, the boss will come down. Kill the 2 rogues first as they will be a nuisance once Smites starts AoE stunning. When you get Smite to about 60% he will AoE stun for a few sec and grab a different weapon, no real difference. After hes at 35% he will do that again, finish him off, np. Just tanka and spank.

5

Head up the boat, make sure to go right when you first get off the "Smite Ramp" not left and around the boat. if you keep going you will see a ramp a ways ahead, climb it killing all the mobs in the way. Get to the top and take out the boss here (cant remember his name its Captain something) he has a sweet twink staff that can drop from him, better than staff of westfall in stats. In the big wooden thing you will see Van Cleef, the last but not last boss.

Cleef is quite easy but he summons 4 rogues to help him and that can be very annoying so make sure the tank is keeping aggro. Once hes down loot An Undeliverd Note (or letter i cant remember) and either Blackened Defias Armor/Cape of the Brotherhood/Cruel Barb which are all good drops at this lvl.

Now jump down the side of the boat that you did NOT come from and kill the two pirates on either side of you then take out the last but least boss of the instance: Cookie, he is really easy for any group just take him out. He does have a poison effect which is annoying but nothing more, just annoying, now head up the path way on this side of the boat to the instance exit.

Enjoy!
