Adventures in Sholazar Basin

November 29, 2008 :: Posted by - Stompalina :: Category - PVE

After wrapping up some in-town busy work in Dalaran, I headed out to the flight deck. Before I jumped on a flight to the next zone I picked up a quest from a mage right at the flight master -Where in the World is Hemet Nesingwary? Upon taking the quest I was ported across Northrend to Sholazar Basin. Knowing that I was already a huge fan of the Nesingwary quest lines in Stranglethorn Vale and Nagrand, I was already excited at the thought of finishing my acheivment – Hemet Nesingwary: The Collected Quests.

All told, it took Haf and I about 2 hours to finish the Nesingwary quest line in Sholazar Basin to complete our achievement. It would have been much faster if Haf hadn’t intentionally dropped Path of Frost every time I strutted out onto the middle of the rivers and lakes, plundging me into the grasp of the angry aquatic mobs below us. Mr. Funny Man…

Skin-a-palooza!
Sholazar Basin is a skinner’s paradise, much like Stranglethorn and Nagrand were in their day. My evening was complete when I received two Arctic Furs, back to back!

For those that aren’t in the know, Arctic Fur is a skinning drop that is used not only in leatherworking patterns, but also as a form of currency to purchase bind on pick-up (BOP) leatherworking patterns. Through my adventures in Northrend thus far, I have acquired 10 or so Arctic Furs. So, needless to say they are pretty rare to come across.

Happy Hunting!

    I’m a huge fan of the jungle-y areas in Warcraft and I was as happy as a puppy to see that Sholazar is Un’Goro Part II. It’s also a herbalists paradise :) That and the creatures are so wonderful. The rhinos with the little bird on their horns just give me a giggle every time and the antelop-coloured giraffe creatures are just fantastic.
