Thanks! I, too, spent much time at that tower!

Thanks! Definately check the zone out! It’s incredibly rich on lore, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

I remember seeing a Blood of Heroes for the first time on Velaya and thinking, “Oo, what is this clicky?” only to be destroyed by those ghosts. And then I was intent on getting more since I figured that if they were guarded by such hard mobs that I would certainly need more…

Way back in classic, I did not really understand how world drop BoE Epics worked. For some reason, I got it in my head that only certain mobs dropped them. When my Druid buddy landed a Glowing Brightwood Staff off a spider in the Western Plaguelands, I figured if I killed enough spiders there I would find one too!

Hours of grinding later, I bothered to look into how BoE Epics really dropped and felt pretty silly as a result. Thanks Western Plaguelands!

Hearthglen was where I first learned about the bugginess of NPCs that could see stealth. The guards at the front gate, their aggro radius was actually LARGER on stealthed things, than it was on visible.
I also spent way too much time here pre-Naxx doing chain cauldron quests so I wouldn’t have to pay to get flagged to get inside Naxx, lol.
And I’m sure many of you also remember how sometimes a whole one of those Farm areas would be unmanageable because someone clicked a Blood of Heroes on the ground, cursing it with two badass ghosts.

Picture #6: That tower spawns the only mobs that drop the Crusader recipe. I leveled my Druid because camping the spawn point was easier as a Feral than as a Holy Priest.

Beautiful composition on the pictures.

Hi, great post, I love this ‘Make a memory’ series, keep it up! I’m sorry to say that as someone who came relatively late to WoW I have actually never been to the Plaguelands (East or West). Nowadays you hit 58 and it’s ‘Get to Outland’ for some hugely better gear. Looking at these screenshots it looks really beautiful, perhaps I will have to take my toon there before Cata!

Wonderful post for a wonderful zone! Scholomance was one of my favorite places in vanilla too!

You need a Spectral Essence so you can buy it from Magnus Frostwake of course and a Dawn’s Gambit helps with the students
