This is one of the coolest quests i have ever done, soloed it a lvl 20, not too much of a problem for a rogue, if you remember to use your special ability's. I was alchemy herbalist atm and had a high first aid skill. So if you don't have any pots or bandages, this might be harder.

Here is a list of things not to forget:
Have a high lock picking skill for this quest, think the lock box at the end requires 75 skill. You can train your lock picking skill in an earlier rogue quest.
Remember sap, and gouge. Gouge + bandage is very usefull if you have improved sap
Gallywix is weak to ambush, so start off with an ambush, even if you miss he will start the fight at 50 % HP.. Very important.
All the mobs has weeknes to one of your attacks, i cannot remember whom at the moment, but i do remember that i found out a few of them after i did the quest. So possible to do it without.
Also at the first mobs in the bottom of the tower, sapping one, nuking the other when he dies (the other one is probably long out of his sap now) vanish, eat up and take the other one. They are not a "linked respawn" if i can call it that. Leaving one of them alive dosen't mean the other one will respawn instantly.

After you are done, you will get a 7d duration poison, get a druid or a shaman to remove this, but you should still complete the quest to remove it, as it will teach you how to create and use poisons on your weapons, witch is very useful,

That was all i can remember for now, long time since i did this quest :)

Good luck and have fun. (i actually recommend rolling a horde rogue alt just for this quest, it is ALOT of fun!)

i don't see how you can solo this at lvl 20.
the mobs you need to kill are lvl 24, 25 and have HIGH detection of stealth.
you cannot even go near to sap these mobs.

i grouped with a lvl 24 twink rogue to do this, because i saw his corpse front of Gallywix's body, which i assumed he couldn't soloed it. (btw, only one person loot his head so, if your grouped, you better kill him twice)

anyways, the above poster forgot one more thing.
to get the Silixz's key, all you have to do is pick pocket him.
this guy does not have much stealth detection as the mobs inside of the tower.

Finished this 15minutes ago with my non twinked lvl21 rogue. I had trouble killing 2 Mutated Venture Co. Drone on the ground floor so I stealthed up leaving them for the end (what a mistake).
Killed Lookouts, Patrolers and Gallywix with no problem with health recharge brakes. And then got poisoned.
Damn! The bloody thing not only lowers your agility by 15 but it stripps your stealth ability so you get detected easily. Died 2 times .... then needed 45minutes to find someone to cure me.
Got back and finished what I started.
Doable solo at lvl21 just have faith and use your abilities! Gl.

* To get the key from Silixiz, pickpocket him. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn, then do it again.

* First floor: Mutated Drones. Ambush will instakill them. If you're alone, ambush one, run, then come back and ambush the other.

* Second floor: Patrollers. Rupture works very well here and takes off an abnormal amount of life.

* Third floor (outside): Lookouts. Eviscerate (even a one-point eviscerate) will transform them into green slimes that are easier to kill.

* Fourth floor: Gallywix. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. If you're level 20, bring a friend -- he hits hard. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

This is entirely doable solo at 20 if you're mildly twinked and remember to use the weaknesses of each mob. Being 22 would help of course seeing as you have access to skills like distract and vanish.

Some notes of my own to add to the above post:

- Part 1, Pickpocketing
Make sure to approach Silixiz from behind and use pickpocket as far away as possible (5 yd range), otherwise he's sure to detect you. Kill him afterwards, both as a courtesy to the next rogue coming to do the quest and in order to avoid him aggro'ing on you in case you have to run away during the rest of the quest.

- Part 2, Mutated Drones
This seems to be the hardest part. Be very careful and only approach one of them when they turn their backs to you and spam ambush till it connects (their stealth detection is insanely high). Then run till you drop aggro and do the same with the other one.

- Part 3, Patrolers
These mobs are weak to rupture, but they're very easy to kill even without it. Probably the easiest part, just good ol' hack n slash works on these guys.

- Part 4, Lookouts
Nothing else to say about them really... just get that 1 CP as fast as possible and immediately Eviscerate. Very easy to kill that way.

- Part 5, Gallywix
Make sure to have Evasion and healing potions ready and not cooling down before engaging. Open with Ambush to drop him to 50% health, then immediately pop Evasion (he hits very hard, you don't want to waste a moment without it up) and just hack away. Pop a healing potion if necessary. If you're close to dying, make sure he's facing away from the stairway entrance. Didn't try this myself, but supposedly if you die with him facing the stairs, he'll stay in that position when he resets making it nearly impossible to ambush him without being detected.

Another note:
You do ABSOLUTELY want to use Ambush in the parts that recommend it and you need a dagger in your main hand for that. If you've been using two swords up to this point, get a dagger for this quest. Even if it's a level 1 grey one, doesn't matter, you can just switch to your usual weapon right after you Ambush. Also, be sure to get your dagger skill up to a decent level, you don't want your Ambush to miss.

I just attempted this with my 21 Bloodelf, I guess everything was changed in the expansion because Ambush is NOT oneshotting the drones and i have a 13.7 dps blue dagger. The patrollers were lvl 22 and easy, rupture did normal damage, the lookouts were 23, 1 point evis did normal damage but they were easy enough, In the 4 times i fought Gallywix my ambush crit every time but was only for 115+ and it effected him normaly. I ended up having a 30 rogue help me kill him. I used an Anti venom made with FA to get the poison off me.

So from now on get a group it seems

评论来自 17661

I've just tried it together with an Blood Elf. The weaknesses worked fine for me, but not for my friend. Checked it with other people. Only bloodelves have this problem. If you're a Blood Elf, just try to wait for another race of rogue to show up, just whisper lvl 20/21 rogues if you can. The boss at the top only drops one head at a time, wait for him to respawn and do it again if you have 2 rogues. The chest repops fast enough.

The mutated drones are easy if one rogue steps forward and pulls them, then runs away, and the other rogue ambushes one of them while he passes. One of themm euch damage, and their running range is short enough not to require sprint. Only sprint if the ambush misses. Rinse and repeat.

评论来自 Flanker

I just did this quest too on my level 23 Blood Elf, and I had the same problems as the above guys. Ambush did nothing to the mutated drones, rupture did not work on the Patrolers, and Gallywix was normally affected by my Ambush. I died twice before I got a friend to help me through it. He has a 60 UD Rogue as an alt, and he was surprised too since this worked just fine for him when he did it.

I was able to get the key fine, also the guy does still have high stealth detection.

As for after the quest, the poison did no damage to me (friend reported no damage as well), just reduced agility by 15. Everything else seemed fine, just the special attacks didn't work on the enemies as they normally appear to (and that kind of breaks the quest).

Pre-reqs: You'll need a locking picking skill of at least 85 (might as well get 100) in order to complete the next quest, so I would recommend doing the Plundering the Plunderers (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=2381) quest to get your skill up to 100 before completing the next quest. You will also need to complete “Deep Cover” (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=2458) in order to talk w/ the questgiver. Otherwise, he is ?? red and will attack you.

Location: The tower is right next to the quest giver (55,6).

IF YOU ARE A BLOOD ELF: The next quest in the chain is bugged and the weaknesses described above don’t work and it is impossible to solo until about lvl 25. I just completed this by grouping with another non-Blood Elf rogue. I just did a "/who 20-21 rogue" and whispered any non-BE players if they did the poison quest yet. Found an undead rogue who hadn't and invited him to group. Walked him through the steps (as outlined above) and he was able to take them out fine

Instructions above about weaknesses are accurate. I’ll simply summarize quickly.

1- (outside on the left) You need to pickpocket the key from Silixiz. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn. He only gives one key per respawn. To be nice to the next guy, I would kill him after you have the key.

2- (First floor): Mutated Drones. Key Ability: Ambush kills them in one shot. You can ambush one, sprint away. Then come back and ambush the other.

3- (Second floor) Patrollers. Key Ability: Rupture takes off extra damage.

4- (Outside - third floor): Lookouts. Key Ability: Eviscerate turns them into weak oozes. A one pointer will transform them into green slimes that are easy to kill.

5- (Top floor) Gallywix. Key Ability: Ambush. It does 50% of his health in damage. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. You might have to gouge/bandage and pop evasion to finish him, but he is killable at 20. If you wait till 22, you can Ambush then vanish and Ambush again. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

IF GROUPED: When you group w/ someone else who has this quest, you have to each pickpocket the key off Silixiz and each loot the dead body of Gallywix for the head. This means that you have to:
a) pickpocket the key
b) kill Silixiz and wait for the respawn
c) pickpocket the key again for the 2nd player (repeat for next guy)
e) after killing Gallywix only have 1 of you loot the body and chest (you'll need to wait for respawn and kill him again and whoever loots will get the poison debuff)

DONT LOOT THE CHEST UNTIL YOU HAVE THE HEAD. You will get a 7 day debuff that lowers agility and makes it easier to detect you in stealth. If you have to come back for Gallywix with the debuff, you are going to get spotted pretty easily when you try to amush.

I soled with 20 Rogue too. I did die a couple times till I got it right. Just follow the above instructions and you too can do it at 20. I am a bit twinked too. Crusader saved my ass against Gallywix.

This quest IS soloable. I soloed it as a level 20 orc rogue.

First I pickpocket the dude outside, after that I went into the tower and pulled one of the level 25 mobs out, and killed them one by one. Riposte was an adventage. Walked up and killed the lookouts and the patrolers pretty easy.

Then I walk up to Gallywix with some really sucky pots on me ;) (Think it was +4str and +50 armor, everything helps lol). Then I ambushed the dude and killed him pretty slow with all my cooldowns and gouge as often as I could. Had to pot AND bandage, and I had to try a couple of times. Ended the fight with pretty low health, so I guess I was a little lucky aswell.

评论来自 CurtisTheGreat

BTW, a good thing to do here is after you loot the chest, delete the quest item you looted and the box will respawn.

Keep doing that until your lockpicking is maxed! Great way to level your lockpicking quickly. I went from 90 to 120 in about 3-4 minutes.

评论来自 45652

Impossible for a non twinked bloodelf rogue on lvl 22. Ambush has no special effect on these mobs, which make the quest difficulty insane.

评论来自 14845

If you manage (like I did) to find a group, killed all the mobs in the tower, slayed the elite guy only to find out your lockpicking skill is too low... do not worry. Just grind your skill (a pirate ship near Ratchett is a good place), come back, sneak up to Gallywix and... sap him. He is sappable and thank heavens for that. Open the chest, loot the poison and run like you never did before.

I also confirm that vulnerabilities are still not working for Blood Elven rogues.

评论来自 39655

I got lucky and managed to solo Gallywix as a level 23 BE rogue. I'm not twinked either. It took 3 tries and a healing potion each time. Having Ghostly Strike was a big help. I got the head then discovered that I couldn't open the chest. Now I'm angry. :P So, yeh, make sure your lockpicking is high enough before doing this quest.

评论来自 22568

If you have the -stealth debuff(Zanzil's Poison), it is impossible to sneak up on the Grand Foreman. However there is a bug that lets you jump up through the floor right next to the foreman. If you have good timing, you can get an ambush off on him. Hope this helped.

评论来自 16642

I find this kinda odd Jimmi since a GM comfirmed that the vulnerabilities has been removed from the game.. I'm gonna test it myself and comfirm it..

评论来自 52966

Just did this quest without dieing or no help, im a lvl 22 BE rogue subtlety spec. only used one healing potion, my friend had the same problem with the vulnerabilities not working for him but he found another way, he used exposed armor on the first level of the tower, and his dots on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and on the top floor used his slice and dice ability with like one or 2 points, course healing when you need it, buy some time with the gouge ability and use a bandage to heal, and dots help a little too.

Ok, I'm having a major problem with this quest. I have killed everyone in the tower, killed the guy at the top and took his head and even got the chest opened. All I need now is the key from picking his pocket. I've tried 3 times, and every time I go to do it, it tells me he has no pockets to pick. So I killed him again, then waited for him to respawn, then tried it again, and still tells me no pockets to be picked. Any help here would be great.

Pickpocketing Sillixiz may be hard when your level 20 cos he can see you in stealth. Just group with someone else, and have Sillixiz engage him, remain in stealth and pickpocket him :)

评论来自 Cliso

That isn't the problem I was having. I'm lvl 23 anyways, but it kept telling me " No Pockets To Pick". So I abandoned the quest, and going to try again like the GM told me to do.

the BE bug seems to be fixed, i ambushed gallywix and his hp went down to 50%. also, the other mobs and their weaknesses worked as expected.

22 rogue.

评论来自 drax99

Still buggy as hell, but fixed and totally doable at 20. Hard as hell, but doable.

Walked in, first floor, mobs wouldnt react, ambush missed, and they still ignored me when I decloaked. Restealthed and tried again, the first mob poofed, and my attack never landed. i didnt get credit either. Second one bitchslapped me after I ambushed, but poofed and I got credit.

Second floor, again no reaction, walked up to mob and it said I was too far away to attack. no matter what i did, couldnt touch him. Tried to walk away and up the stairs, and suddenly my autoattack hit something and he turned to beat on me, from across the room. I still couldnt hit him but he was beating me down, and as I ran downstairs to escape the newly respawned mobs downstairs chased me out and killed me.

After this, everything went as normal. A note though, the poison doenst just lower your stealth, it triggers an event that makes the foreman outside attack you automatically within a certain range. Even behind him the event makes him turn around so eh sees you. Make sure yer done with the stealth part of the quest before picking the lock. On the other hand, pallys actually have a use now, just get one to remove the poison.

EDIT: Oh yea, I am a lv 20 BLOOD ELF, and most definitely NOT twinked.

Soloed this quest as a level 20 Troll Rogue.

It was weird though, it bugged for me. I was able to use the vulnerabilities to my advantage without fear of dying. Every mob in the tower would look off in a direction, and when I tried to Ambush the Mutant Drones, it gave me credit, and their bodies didn't fall to the ground like one would after dying. Same thing for the others (Patrollers and Lookouts).

Gallywix was also bugged. I ambushed him and his health never went down, but I continued to hit him while he didn't react. He died though.

Pretty weird quest.

A handy trick on the foreman: Ambush, vanish, ambush again. Instant death.

评论来自 Amberley

It's too bad that this quest is given at lvl 20 with the promise of getting poisons,
yet nearly impossible to complete at that same lvl. I read up on the tactics here,
and was disappointed that I did not have Vanish yet. Furthermore,
being hyperactivly going into the combat tree, I had long forfeited any daggers.
Just in case, I did try, got the key of sizlix no problem.
Went into the tower, and got detected instantaneousl : (

So I lvl 2 more lvls, got vanish, bought a poniard (a few silver lvl 5 dagger), got a few anti-dotes from FA
and set out again. Because my dagger skill was at 55/110, I took just the dagger in my main
and none in my off-hand and killed a few beasties using only auto attack. Got my skill upto 100 pretty easily and fast.

At the tower the first mob still detected me from far away. Luckily at lvl 22 you also get distract.
Used that to turn them, ambushed one, and finished the other one with just my dagger .. DOH.
still with gouge and a bandage, it went pretty OK.

2nd groups of mobs indeed die fast from rupture.
A 1CP rupture should suffice I reckon. They'll die within 4 seconds.

3rd groups of mobs indeed die fast from 2 1CP evisc.

Gallywix was slain by ambush -> vanish -> ambush -> evisc.

Consume an anti-dote and even the 7day debuff is gone
before you hit the ground from jumping out of the tower.
You'll only loose about 60% HP Happy Huntin'

Soloed it at lvl 21 the trick to getting the 25 undead guards are try to by pass em and get on the stairs then jump off and ambush :) and everything esle is simple

评论来自 33173

Solo'd with 21 UD rogue, wearing mainly quest rewards from Ghostlands, only blues were the Dawnblade and Tranquillien Champion's Cloak, rest were Ghostlands greens and crafted Dark Leather Belt and Dark Leather Pants. Buffed with Scroll of Prot, Stam, and Agility, (from Tomber in Tranquillien) and Goldenmist Special Brew (+70 hp for 1hr). 75 Stam/866 hp/586 Armor/82 Agi.

The only hard part was the two guys Drones on the ground floor, since at lvl 21 can't get close enough to Sap or Ambush, they detect every time. Had to carefully pull each separately. Stealth into the doorway, wait for them to pat as far apart as possible then unstealth and run back outside, hopefully only pulling the one nearest the door. If both aggro, keep running, try again. If you can get past these two guys, the rest is easy. Make sure not to run near Fizzule, b/c he changes back to unfriendly after a few minutes and will kill you quick.

Was able to Ambush the elite boss at the top, took 1/2 his health, easy battle from there.

The poison cast on you at the end of the quest can be easily removed.
Once you hand in the quest at Shenthul in Orgrimmar, he will give you another quest, which ultimately leads you to Tarren Mill where you learn both poisons (1) and get your cure =)

评论来自 65622

Just a tip - don't be an idiot like some of us >.> and forget that the Tower Key winds up on your keyring, not in your inventory - I thought the quest was bugged and abandoned it, so I had to do it all again with the debuff on me!

评论来自 tobarstep

I have a hard time believing anyone can do this at 20. I can't even get in the door of the tower without getting detected, and no matter which side of the hallway I choose to run out of - there are the other two drones waiting for me in addition to the two 25s bringing up the rear. Pretty much insta-death. I remember having to do the alliance poison quest a few times to get it right, but it was nowhere near this level of difficulty.

评论来自 83797

As of 7 October 07, Zanzil's Poison appears to have been buffed. It forbids any and all stealth. All my stealth abilities (including vanish... I waited until lvl 22 to do this quest because I wanted to use distract) were greyed out, and the tooltip also indicated that I was unable to stealth. So, if you're doing this quest, you had best make sure you do the chest bit last, or else you're kinda screwed. I didn't have an antivenom on me, so I'm not sure whether it was still removable or not.

Also, confirming that the weakness abilities work just fine for blood elves.

Just a note to any rogue that gets poisoned before they get the key like I did, the towner was open so I just went in and got the poison but it meant I couldnt finish the quest by getting the key, this problem was solved since druids can cure you.

As a 22 sword orc rogue i was able to solo Gallywix without using pots or bandages. I opened with garrote used my blood fury and evasion and just hacked him i ended up on 200 health fairly easy.

评论来自 Dole

Seriously, big tip here.

GARROTE WORKS TOO ON THE MUTATED DRONES.

评论来自 Zuhalter

The only part I had issues with was Gallywix at 20, and that's because evasion was on cooldown.

For the Mutated Drones, I ambushed one, sprinted away then came back to ambush the others.

For the Patrollers, sap one use rupture on the other. Even with 1 combo point it does an insanly abnormal damage. The first one should be dead long before sap is up

For the Lookouts, you should be able to take them 1 at a time, if not turn them all into slimes with eviscerate as fast as possible. After they are slimes they don't do much damage and die easily.

For Gallywix, he's soloable, but you may need evasion and a pot just in case. With 2 rogues he becomes cake. 2 ambushes for 50% hp = dead fast.

I normally don't use daggers but I put my sword on my hot bar and clicked it after ambush. Only your main hand has to be a dagger. I'm sure the macros work great too, but I'm lazy.

I just went back to the tower at level 32 and repeatedly picked the chest and got lockpicking to 160. Last 2 or 3 levels required several pick attempts but it does get you to 160.

As someone who's done the equivalent quest on the Alliance side, there is a clear discrepancy in order to get the same reward.

For reference, here is Alliance quest: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=2359

I did this at 20 on my Alliance rogue with no issues.

Pickpocket the guy outside for the key, check.

Stealth to the top of the tower, sap the guy there and take the item in the chest, check.

Done.

As a 20 BE rogue, the story is a little different.

First of all, the level 22 guys outside the tower (2 of them) can't be sapped. You can avoid them, but pickpocketing the guy and sneaking in almost require that you kill them because of their stealth detection range. There are 2 pats outside the Alliance tower as well, but they can be avoided entirely.

Anyway...

Take 1: Kill 1 guy, pop a potion... realize I'm going to die... run, get dazed and die.

Take 2: Kill 1 guy, popping Evasion halfway through... pop a potion, kill the second guy. These guys don't have the same weaknesses as the drones inside. All abilities seem to function normally on them.

Moving on, I pickpocket the goblin, no problem. This step is redundant, as you already have to pickpocket something for the Level 10 rogue quest, and you don't need the key as far as I could tell, so... whatever.

Stealth into the tower, and one of the 2 level 25 drones there stops his patrol immediately... again, stealth range. Try to position myself for an Ambush... die horribly.

Take 3: After another ridiculously long run back from Crossroads, stealth into the tower. Wait... pull 1 guy outside. Without Ambushing him, he beats me to a pulp.

Take 4: With the help of a level 52 warlock, I complete the quest.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but the quest name has never been more true. Doing this quest at 20 requires more patience than I had. You would have to wait for one drone to continue patroling inside, turn his back, AND make sure the other drone is far in the back and facing away from you so you can ambush one, run, and repeat.

A level 22 rogue that was there didn't seem to have an issue... why? Distract. This skill is almost a necessity, unless you have the patience of Mother Theresa.

If I were desiging this quest, I would either tag it as level 22, or ensure rogues have Distract (and possibly Vanish) at 20. The guy at the top can be killed with Evasion, although I'm curious to try the Ambush>Vanish>Ambush strategy.

AND... make the Alliance quest the same. I don't understand why the Alliance one should be that much easier.

P.S. As an Alliance rogue, the quest to remove the poison is all inside Stormwind. As a BE rogue, I had to fly back to Orgrimmar, take the zeppelin to Undercity, and run all the way to Tarren Mill (in contested territory on a PvP server). I'm not trying to QQ here... just pointing out the differences. Make the Horde quests easier OR make the Alliance quests the same. Either way.

Horde - Blood Elf - 21

Okay, can someone help me really fast. I seem to be having some issues with this. I read the notes before this and have tried a LOT of them if not all. Anyways, here it goes.

So as normal, I pick pocket the Goblin, and then kill him. No problem there.

Then I roll over stealthed to the mutated drones. I get the ambush off....and nothing. It did normal ambush damage and that was it. I ended up killing one of them and then dying as I tried to run away.

So I decided to skip them just to check out the ones inside. I rupture them, and nothing. Regular rupture damage.

I have not done the rest as I need these dead to proceed. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Soloed (with some problems but made it) as 20 NON- twink rogue,
used the sand from one of noob quests to put last mob in sleep in hard moment. Rest was piece of cake

评论来自 126426

I've done this quest twice. The first time I had to get help from a guilded rogue but that's because I wasn't aware of the tactics behind it. On my second rogue I followed the instructions posted above by Uraii, Rotwing, ooglakhan and others. Thanks to that it was then easy to complete as a level 20 Blood Elf. I used some stamina food, a scroll of agility, one health potion and first aid (after a Gouge) and had about 20% health left when Gallywix dropped.

No longer can we rogues claim it is impossible to solo this quest at level 20. A big thanks to all helpful post!

Draxx99:

Well done. - But the Quest Giver Dwarf outside attacks you within a certain range already a few minutes after you've received the quest from him.

...............

Ooglakhan:

Nice guide.

I don't know what's wrong with my char, but I can't stealth into the room at first floor without the two drones there seeing me and attcking me ... both of them.
And once they attack, the two fro outside comes running in to help them kill me.

It's happened three times, and every time I've escaped by using vanish or sprint (yes, I'm lvl 22. - Itried to do the quest at lvl 20 and lvl 21, but it ws obvious I had no chance at the time).

These mobs are brown to me, which means I would normally easily could kill at least one of them without having stealthed and used ambush or garrote.
But these just seem different. They look through my stealth a lot easier than I have experienced with other mobs.

I rolled a rogue a year back at a different server, and I remember having problems back then too.

I am aware that my gear isn't the best. All greens, and some of it is lvl 19. Still he's generally better equipped than I usually have my chars at this lvl.

I'm unguilded with this char atm, and the /who function has given very limited results ... most people on my server have back-up from guildies, and those who don't tend to be less than helpful in a group situation. Anyway, I haven't found anyone yet who wanted to team up for the quest.

It's somewhat annoying as it means I'll probably have to go until lvl 25 before I can get my poison ability.
>:-(

.....................

If anyone has any advice or any idea as to why I am having these problems, I will be happy to read your advice.

I'm combat specced. - I simply don't find myself rich enough to switch to subtlety only for the sake of this quest.
But ... well, I just might have to do just that after all.

To all who made it: Good going, guys! ^^

...................

Edit:

I was lucky ... finally. Another rogue came by the quest location. We grouped and had no trouble.

On a side note: I have found that most rogues try to complete at 20, but eventually turn 22 before making it ... usually grouped with another rogue. So it seems I did the common thing here, lol.

Bah. Thanks to Blizzard's awesome changes in the lockpicking quests (namely making the chest that has your quest item sparkle), I spent very little time levelling up my lockpicking skill. So there I was, bandaged, battered and potioned up at the top of that bloody tower, to find that my skill wasn't freaking high enough.

Be mindful of this guys, RAISE YOUR LOCKPICKING SKILLS!

To all you naysayers, this quest is completely possible as a level 20 rogue. After eliminating the guards on the outside, stealth, go into your spellbook and add the shoot button to your stealth bar, creep ever so slightly to the edge of the door from the RIGHT side. When the guard furthest back is behind the staircase, fire an arrow or thrown weapon at the guard in the front and run out of the building. The guard will single pull and follow you, I won't lie, this will be an extremely tough fight. After he is dead you can sneak right by the second guard. Kill the two lvl 22's at the top of the first set of stairs. Creep up and try to single pull lookouts into the second level stair well and take them out one by one. Once that is done, creep up, the elite will be at the top of the tower. He is a cake walk, sneak up and ambush him and he'll be nearly at half life. A tip you should know is to have your lock picking leveled up. I went up there and did all the hard stuff and then couldn't pick his lock box on the first attempt lol. Good luck!

Soloed as a level 20 BE rogue on 03/23/08. Wasn't very hard, but the worst part was the mutated drones because of their agro radius. All of the weaknesses worked perfectly. Gallywix was a pushover; killed him without pots/consumables/bandages and ended the fight with around 70% health.

A quick run down about this quest... About the 25 Mutated Venture Co. Drones. They are indeed level 25, and thier stealth detection is as previously mentioned insanely high. I solo'd this quest at 20 with ease. Getting in the tower though required some patience. but if you can make it to the spiral stairs when both of the drones are looking the other way it's easy street. I just walked up waited for them to turn and look towards the stairs, dropped down ambushed one and sprinted out the door, then snuck back in and did another drop ambush to the other drone.

With the Venture Co. Patrollers. Just sap one and wait till the other is on the other side of the stairs then Garrote and Rupture as quick as you can, just to beat em down some more. They drop quick. then sap, Garrote, Rupture the other Patroller. Stealth up to the next floor.

This floor has 3 Lookouts wandering around on the outside platform. I have the Dirty Tricks talent at max so this was easy to do. Sit on the upper part of the stairway and wait for the Lookout to come into view. Sap him and wait for the other to sneak into your vision just to have him turn around and leave. thats your cue you Garrot and Eviscerate. then pull the Ooze he turned into up the stairs a little ways out of view of the other goblin. Once dispatched, stealth and sneak out onto the platform and wait for the previous Lookout to return sap Garrot and emediately Eviscerate. Tank and spank the lookout and objective complete. Stealth and up to the Foreman you go.

This battle hurt. My strategy was to Ambush and Ghostly Strike. to gain combo points. Wait for full energy then gouge. and backstab. I got lucky and my gouge worked. with 4 combo points added up i ruptured. and used ghostly strike again to make sure he couldn't hit me, and just made sure that I had more life than he did and he went down with ease. Potions and Gouge + Bandages really help on this guy. even if you only get a few points from the bandages it will save you.

Hope this helps. Quest was a lot of fun. =D

Oh btw. 20 Troll, Sublety talents. 5/5 Opportunity, 2/2 Dirty Tricks 3/5 Camouflage, 1/1 Ghostly Strike. My weapons of choice were Blade of Cunning, Dagger (Main Hand) 9-18dmg 6.8 DPS. Ceremonial Knife, Dagger (Off Hand) 5-10dmg 5.4 DPS.

Quest is so easy.

Done it as 20 BElf rogue and 21 Undead rogue.

Just killed elite, when i was low on health just Gouged him, first aid, and killed him.
Just don't make same mistake as I, get 80 skill of pickpocket before going there, so i need to come there again.

评论来自 147657

With regards to the Mutated Drones on the bottom level, I found that if you can get a Garrote off on one of them, it is a one-shot kill!

Also, with the elite at the end, an Ambush will give him an attack debuff and 50% hp!

Soloed as a 20 orc rogue with 11 in assassination (so no MoD). Not at all twinked, had 2 big bronze knives and random level 10-15 greens and quest rewards. For the mutated drones on the first floor, I just waited until they both turned away, then sprinted in and ambushed one before I could get kicked out of stealth. Then I evaded the other one, and came back and killed him.

The rest of it was pretty easy, though I almost died on Gallywix due to him being a +3 elite and parrying me a lot.

评论来自 54990

Garrote also will one shot the Mutated Drones, but you don't get credit for the kill so I'd recommend not using this skill.

评论来自 42092

Just completed this on my lvl 22 UD rogue, without any problems. I really hadnt read the quest, so didnt know anything about weaknesses, or anything. I soloed Gallavix without using ambush, just using sinister strike (using sword in main hand), not even a health potion was needed, seemed pretty easy, just popped evasion.

When reading through this, I saw way too many people complaining that they could not complete the quest because the enemies could see through stealth. I must admit, I did the quest backwards, and was unable to kill the Venture Co Drones without stealth (They were already killed by another player when I got to the tower, climed up and killed mobs along the way anyways)... Didn't know the Posion was going to steal my stealth, although a friend from my Main's guild was nearby and was ready to quickly help me out with the Mutated Drones.

All the enemies were easy to sneak by, even at level 20 with an Assassination build. Simply snuck around behind, made sure that I backed up each time something turned towards me, and Ambushed/Gouged/Backstabbed as necessary.

Once I had done the tower (Boss at the end was fairly difficult, I must admit... But even though he was an Elite, all I needed was a single Minor Healing Potion and a Thistle Tea to beat him.), I killed the drones, handed in, and was done.

As for the Pickpocketing part, it's VERY easy to do so long as you know how to stealth. Sneak up on the foes, making sure that you don't move forwards at all once they turn towards you, and you'll do fine. I actually had to run out with Sprint at one point, since Silixiz saw me. Once I was able to get in Sap Range, though (5 yds, since I'm not Sub), it was an easy pickpocket. Just have to make sure that you still watch for the other Drones that patrol the area.

Overall, a VERY fun quest, so long as nothing goes wrong, and you take the proper order to things, or, if you don't, you have someone to remove Poision and/or someone to kill the enemies you can't kill. (Then again, for the pickpocketing part, you're kind of out of luck for the Killing part.)

Good luck to those who have not yet done this, and may your Blades never Dull.

Confirming this is doable at 20.

The Key - You can obtain this by killing him, it's how I got it.

The mutants - Timing is the key. Their stealth detection is rediculous, but if you time it just right when they're turned, hit them with ambush and they die instantly.

The pats - Hit them with rupture. They die with just 2 hits even with 1 CP rupture.

The lookouts - Wait til one is within aggro range, then pull him into the tower and down the stairs enough that you won't aggro others. Hit him with 1 eviscerate, and you can solo them easily. They die really quick with eviscerate, so use it a lot. They are orange to level 20s, but it doesn't make a difference. Just use 1 CB evis and you'll be fine.

Gallywix - He's hard. Like really hard. He has a lot of health and does close to 100 dmg, sometimes more, with every hit. Make sure you have some healing potions. Also, ambush him. It takes him down to 50% health. If you can, use gouge and get behind him to use backstab. Gouge might miss.. alot. But you ABSOLUTELY NEED HEALTH POTIONS AT 20! I have 663 health, and he kills me every time. If you need to go buy health pots (like I did), just intentionally kill yourself at the bottom floor and then respawn up top. Then, fight til you kill him.

The chest - Make sure you have Gallywix' head first, or you'll get this nasty poison, and we don't want that.

Then, go finish the quest...

Whatever you do... DON'T DIE! You have to run all the way back from Crossroads. Also, people say you need at least 80, I had 79 lp and it worked. So... I don't know what the lowest is.

评论来自 indreamland4991

Probably should have read all this before attempting the quest, as I dont generally carry a dagger and therefore cant use ambush :P and the really annoying part is that the nearest graveyard is a ten minute run away, lol. Thanks for all the tips : )

I just attempted this quest as a level 22 BElf rogue. All the weaknesses do work (rupture does double damage, Ambush kills in one hit, etc.) One strategy that is very useful, if you are level 22, is to ambush the elite at the top, then use vanish and ambush him again. He dies in two hits. However, this is not useful at all for rogues under level 22 and most rogues are 20 or 21 when they run this quest. By the way, I will have to do this quest over because my lockpicking skill was not up to date. Make SURE you have adequate lockpicking skill (I believe its somewhere around 85-90) before attempting this quest.

评论来自 MatadorBID

I noticed at lvl 20 i got more XP from killing a mob the traditional way than I got for utilizing the weaknesses.

i.e. 345 for Mutated Drones, but only 45 for Ambushing them

BE btw, all weaknesses worked. I only had to deal with stealth detection and misses.
Had 72 lockpicking.

Solo'd at 20 with BE Rogue...but lockpicking wasn't high enough...went and lvl'd LPing then went back, sapped, and looted. Easy.

评论来自 Thottbot

how do you cure the poison if i havent completed quest yet and need the key but cant get to him because of the poison?

评论来自 Thottbot

I just did the quest, and some people have inaccurate information. Just to clarify:

* To get the key from Silixiz, pickpocket him. If he doesn't have anything to pickpocket, kill him and wait for him to respawn, then do it again.

* First floor: Mutated Drones. Ambush will instakill them. If you're alone, ambush one, run, then come back and ambush the other.

* Second floor: Patrollers. Rupture works very well here and takes off an abnormal amount of life.

* Third floor (outside): Lookouts. Eviscerate (even a one-point eviscerate) will transform them into green slimes that are easier to kill.

* Fourth floor: Gallywix. Ambush him to lower his life to 50%, then the rest of the fight is as you would expect. If you're level 20, bring a friend -- he hits hard. After he's dead, take his head and lockpick the chest (need skill ~85 I think) and you're done.

评论来自 Thottbot

Some of this overlaps with the above but I'll go into more gory detail about soloing this --

Requirements
If you're going to solo this, I would recommend waiting until lvl22. I believe the others who testifed they soloed this at lower levels, but I find that vanish and distract are *extremely* helpful here for every level of the tower and particularly for Gallywix, and also being able to have a healing potion (lvl22 req, just buy one from the AH) helps a lot.

Get your lockpicking skill up to 100 (or at least 80) from the ship in the "Plundering the Plunderers" quest. It's kinda boring repeatedly picking the lockboxes but there's no reason not to max out your skill... I just looked over my quests and read a newspaper while clicking alternately on two boxes...

Be sure your equipment is repaired because you will probably die repeatedly (I died 7 times and yes I did read all the comments here beforehand so it was just a matter of execution).

Get lots of flash powder for vanish.

Get a few healing potions or at least lesser healing potions.

Make sure ambush, eviscerate, stealth, vanish, distract, pickpocket, expose armor, rupture, evade are on your toolbar because you'll need all of them.

On dying
One important note is that if you die in the tower, you can resurrect on any floor... not sure if this is obvious to everyone. This allows you to bypass some of the respawned monsters that you've already killed and start right where you left off.

Silixiz key
I had no trouble stealing the key from him using distract with my lvl22 with 2 points in Master of Deception talent. If he has no key, kill him and then come back later, maybe do the goblin quests nearby while you kill time.

First three levels
Ambush, rupture, eviscerate the first three levels as others have mentioned. For the first level, distract to get them to face away from you, ambush one and then either run/vanish then ambush again, or 1on1 the other. For the next two levels, distract, sap one then kill the other, or just take both of them on. You can always use up your vanish or evades here because you're probably not going to get through the whole thing without dying at least once, and remember the next time you resurrect you can bypass whatever you've already killed.

Gallywix
I had a lot of trouble sneaking up on him. When I went up the stairs, he was staring right at me, so I couldn't even get line of sight to distract him away from me without getting aggro'd. A trick I found is that he tends to keep looking in the direction he was facing when he killed you last. So I just made sure he was facing away from the stairs (i.e. looking right out the tower) when I died, then the next time I could get behind him to distract and ambush.

If you ambush - vanish - ambush, he's deadmeat since each is triggered to take off 50%. Even if you only get one off (e.g. if he sees you when you're coming up the stairs before you ambush), it's still no big deal. If you put on evasion, start off with a 4+ point expose armor, and use a healing potion, you should be able to kill him reasonably. This means you don't really need vanish either, in case you used it up earlier -- you can just stealth up and ambush him, then fight as normal. Note that if you try the ambush-vanish-ambush method, you don't have much time after you vanish before he pops back to max health! Immediately ambush him once you've vanished.

Of course don't get the chest until after you've completed the quest. The first time I went up the stairs, someone else had killed Gallywix and I opened the chest, and got poisoned. It at least lowers your agility, I'm not sure what else (some others above claim it lowers stealth). So actually I had to kill Gallywix while poisoned :-b.

评论来自 Thottbot

This quest was darn easy as a level 22 rogue if you learned Vanish!

All i did was get behind Silixiz and pick pocket him, didn't really bother killing him.. I killed the both Drones' patroling outside easily with Ambush and Eviscerate. Went inside Stealthed and Ambushed one of the Mutated Venture Co. Drones', Vanished and Ambushed the other one.

Next floor i used Gouge, Eviscerate and then Sinister Strike and Eviscerate again on both of them.. They died easily, next floor just use Eviscerate as it will turn them into a slime with less HP and less Armor making them easier to kill.

Now for the "Boss", when i got up there my Vanish had it's cooldown gone so i simply went into Stealth.. Stealthed behind Gallywix and Ambushed him, Vanished and Ambushed again *BOOM* dead in two hits..
Good Luck!

((Edit: Make sure you have at least 80 in your Lockpicking skill so that you can open the chest, and don't worry about the curse if you make sure to finish rest part of the quest you will get healed, get experience and of course learn how to make posions!))

Each floor has a "key" ability that finishes the guys off quickly, if not instantly.

First Floor

Ambushed one, vanished, ambushed the other.

Key Ability: Ambush kills them in one shot.

Second Floor

Ambushed one, ruptured him for the kill. Then I used Sinister Strike on the other and ruptured him.

Key Ability: Rupture slaughters these guys.

Third Floor

Sapped one, Sinister Strike then Eviscerate to turn him into ooze. Finished him off then killed the sapped one.

Key Ability: Eviscerate turns them into weak oozes.

Final Floor

Easiest floor. Don't get scared by the Elite title. Ambush him, vanish, ambush again. Dead.

Key Ability: Ambush. It does 50% of his health in damage.

There you go. I didn't notice anyone posting about Rupturing the second floor. I loved this quest... Just like a Rogue is suppost to be. Sneak in, kill, sneak out.

评论来自 Thottbot

Use what is stated in the yellow comments and additional:
- picking the key is easy. get to sizzle from the side and pickpocket him. No need for additional distraction
- guys at ground floor in the tower will die with 1 stroke of ambush, the other one can be delt with normally or by vanish and ambush again
- kill the guy on top, use all your skills (wait till they all are active again) or ambush, vanish, ambush
- I did this quest with lockpicking skills of 40 and could NOT open the chest :-((. go to the ship and get your skills up to at least 85 (i did 99)
- you will get the decease after you open the chest: use your anti-posion which you learn from 1st-aid.

as a rogue, you don't have to die as I did it 2 times and still was alive. (lvl 23)

Boss caused me some trouble, but i did it in the end with a little help from all the useable buffs u get from the boar in camp taurajo by turning in shadowstones. I also used a healing potion when i was at 30%. These 2 things made the fight quite easy. i just ambushed, used gouge right after, then i drank a thistle tea so i could backstap. I then used S&D;, evasion and gouge and backstap again.

Ok,for those many who get mixed up doing this quest series,this is how it goes:
1)At level 20 you get the quest from Shenthul in Orgrimar Cleft of Shadow.After he teaches you the /salute,you get the flare gun to signal Fizzule.
2)I STRONGLY advise waiting to level 22 to solo this.You WILL need distract and vanish.On a side note,whatever type of rogue you are,max out Master of Deception.Stealth witout it is plain and simple a movement impairing effect,nothing more.
3)At level 22,after learning distract and vanish (and buying flash powder duhh)go to the tower north of the Sludge Fen.Fizzule is 30 elite and has an aggro radius of a space radar.So as soon as you see him,pop you flare gun TWICE and wait for him to turn green.Approach,/salute,talk,take quest.
4)The Venture.co drones patrolling outside ARE NOT part of your quest and are not vulenerable to anything.Sneaking past them shouldnt be a problem.
Killing them is just a pain,since none of those mobs drop anything.
5)Pickpocket the goblin downstares.Again,not a problem with maxed Master of deception.If you dont get the key,kill him,wait for respawn then try again.
6)The Mutated Venture.co drones on the bottom floor are lvl 25 and WILL see through your Stealth.Distract,ambush instakill,vanish,repeat.
7)The 2 upper floors are easier.All mobs are level 22.Remember their weaknesses:2nd floor-rupture,third floor-eviscecrate.
8)Dont be scared by the elite.When i got to him,he was facing away from the stares.If you need,use distract.his weakness is Ambush (takes of 50% HP) so ambush-vanish-ambush again should be enough.Was for me.
9)Open the chest.You need a lockpick skill of at least 80.You WILL get poisoned from opening the chest and it is IMPERATIVE that you do all the quest in the correct order,as the poison will reduce your stealth efficency to zero.You cant sneak up on a damn sheep as long as youre poisoned.
10)Quest complete!Go back to Shenthul,and then go where he sends you-Tarren mill.The guy there will brew you a cure and teach you the poison skill.VERY IMPORTANT-stay in his house as he walks around playing with his chem-set,or you will not complete the quest.
11)Go back to Shenthul to train another poison.Like i said before,the poison reduces stealth efficency to zero (couldnt sneak past the lvl 19 Dalaran patrols on the road at lvl 22 with maxed MoD).If your on a PvP server,get a high lvl friend to escort you or just get FP beforehand.

P.S For some reason,the weaknesses of the mobs in the tower DONT work for bloodelf rogues.This has been confirmed and i hear blizz are working on it.
Bring friends,our little pointy-ear friends of the Horde.

P.P.S Ok i have just learned that anti-venom will remove Zanzil's Touch.That means you can have a paladin or shaman purge it off you or just use the First Aid anti-venom.I personnaly wouldnt screw around with it,as this quest is pretty long and quite bugged in many cases.Its better to get to Tarren Mill with the poison and remove it the way the game requires.

Rogue Poison Quest Solo Strategy (Horde)

This is a chain quest, but the “Mission: Possible But Not Probably” starts with the Rogue trainer in Orgrimmer. Although you get this quest at Level 20, be warned that you cannot solo this quest as a Level 20 rogue – at least not without a lot of luck or a lot of time (you’ll die a hundred times).

Required Items:
• Daggers (you will need to Ambush the boss at the top)
• Anti-Venom (just in case you get the nasty debuf)
• A couple of health potions (probably 5 is a good number)

If you want to solo this quest, wait until you get to Level 22 when you get Vanish and Distract. These two skills will be critical to success. If you absolutely have to have poisons right away as Level 20, then you need to group. But when I say group, you can’t actually form a real group because you won’t get credit for the kills. You just need to go in together. Make sure you get the first hit in before you high level buddy 1-shots them.

This tactic guide is written for those who are Level 22 and want to solo. If you just absolutely need to get Poisons at Level 20 then, get a group together. You will need at least a level 30 player (Tank preferably) if you want to do it with two.

Make sure you pick-pocket Sillix (he is outside the Tower on the left) first for the key, which you will need to open the lockbox at the top of the tower, then kill with extreme prejudice. One tactic which is silly but very easy is to get a level 60 friend to just go in and kill everything in the tower (after you pick pocket the key, of course).

Hint: If in a group with another Rogue that is also doing the quest, make sure you have the understanding that you will ALL wait for the Elite at the top of the tower to respawn, because only 1 person per kill can get the head, which of course is needed to complete the quest. If you do not get the head but try and take the antidote from the lockbox, you will get poisoned. I believe this also happens if you don’t kill all of the Venture Co. mob too. If this happens, just take an anti-venom, which will instantly cure you. The debuff is nasty, so make sure you have some anti-venom with you. I believe the respawn time is 5 minutes or so. The two rogues should position themselves on either side of the stairs to ensure that at least one of them get’s an Ambush in when the Elite does respawn.

Let’s continue with the solo guide at level 22 with Vanish and Distract.

Requirements: Level 22 with Vanish & Distract. You need to have lock picking skills of at least 80. You can get this easily from the ship off of the coast by Orgrimmer. Ask your Rogue trainer for “Where can I increase my lock picking skills” for more info. It is tedious, but you can easily get 100 lock picking skills in a few minutes there. Also make sure you are at full health and fully repaired and have at least 5 healing potions – just in case. Buy them in AH if needed. It is also a good idea to get some Anti-Venom, in case you screw up and get poisoned from opening the lock box at the top of the tower in the wrong order.

Hint: It will speed things up some if you set your Hearth Home to Orgrimmer for the duration of this Quest. It will help a lot when Hearthing out of the Tower after killing the last Elite.

Hint: You might want to practice the “Distract – Ambush – Vanish - Ambush” tactic on 2 mobs a couple of times before doing this quest – if you haven’t already. The practice will be very helpful. Learn to do this tactic very quickly. Speed between the Vanish and 2nd Ambush needs some practice and is crucial since these mobs will regenerate health very fast.

One other thing to mention: If you are soloing this quest, and even if things go well, you will still likely end up dying a couple of times. This quest will take 2 hours at least of your time, so make sure you have 2-3 hours available before starting.

The Org Rogue trainer will give you 10 flares with instructions to shoot off 2 consecutive flairs to identify yourself with some Elite near the Tower. The Tower is just North of the Sludge Fen, BTW, which is way up in the North East corner of The Barrens. It is a fairly easy run from Orgrimmer if you take the back exit to The Barrens – this is actually faster than flying to Crossroads and running from there. Get within 30 yards or so of the Elite, who is off to the right a little from the tower and shoot off the flares – 2 back to back, then approach the elite. He should turn from Yellow to Green. He’ll then %^&*! about the noise and give you a whistle to blow instead. Oddly, I don’t think the whistle is actually used for anything and isn’t needed to complete the quest – but keep it until the quest is done anyway.

Next, you need to get the key to the lockbox with the poison antidote, which is located at the top of the tower. The only way to do this is to pick pocket Sillix, who is just outside the Tower on the left. If you kill him, you won’t get the key. Pick pocket him from behind. After you get the key, you can kill him if you wish, but to save HP & Armor you just might want to let him go and stealth away.

Now you need to kill 6 mobs: 2 Mutated Venture Co. Drones, 2 Patrollers, and 2 Lookouts.

The 2 patrollers are wandering around outside the tower going back and forth. Stealth to them (it helps some if you have 5 points in Master of Deception and 2 in Improved Sap talents, but not required – it just makes it easier) and Ambush one of the Patrollers. Get 1 or 2 combo points in and use Eviscerate. Try to save Vanish if you can. If it looks like you can’t take both out, then either Vanish & Ambush to take the 2nd Patroller out, or run, then come back. You can try Sapping one of them first – but this doesn’t always work on these guys. Don’t try the Sap tactic unless you have Imp Sap, because without Ambush you won’t kill them, and without Imp Sap you can’t Ambush the 2nd mob.

If you die – and you probably will at least a few times – you need to run back from the graveyard at The Crossroads. It is a very long and painful run back. I think this is the worst part of this quest. Therefore, your best strategy when killing these mobs is to take them 1 at a time, then run out of combat range if possible (use healing potion to stay alive until out of range), then stealth back in. The other strategy is to kill 1, Vanish, get your health back up, then take the other out. The Vanish strategy is a little time consuming considering the Vanish cooldown, but it is actually faster than running back from the graveyard – and certainly less frustrating. I believe that some of these mobs are susceptible to Sap – though the two Mutated mobs in the base of the tower I believe are not. Sap one – if you have Imp Sap – then Ambush the other. This will likely allow you to kill both of them at one time.

Now for the Mutated mob at the base of the tower. These are normal level 26 mobs, but they are very tough to fight straight out. To kill them you need to Stealth in, use Distract, and Ambush one of them. Ambush will take off an immediate 50% health. Get a couple of combo points on him and Eviscerate should kill him. Meanwhile, the other mob is pounding you. You need to run out the right door, take an immediate left, and head straight for the little hill on the side of the mountain. It’s not too far. When you get there the mob will turn and go back. The top of that hill is like a little safe haven. If you didn’t kill Sillix you might also end up picking him up on your way out the tower, but he should turn around too when you get to the little hill. You just need to stay alive until you get there. Once there, heal, and stealth back in and repeat the tactic to kill the 2nd Mutated mob.

I did tell you to get a couple of healing potions, right?

Now for the last two mobs, the Lookouts. Stealth up the stairs. Distract, Sap & Ambush. Repeat the combo-Eviscerate tactic. You should be able to take out both of them at one time. You need to do this fast. If you get killed, you probably can run back before the Mutated mob respawn, but you won’t be able to do it twice before that happens, and it is very difficult to Stealth past those guys to get up the stairs undetected. If this happens, you may have to kill them again.

Hint: If you end up dying while fighting the mob on the 2nd or 3rd floor, when you run back, don’t rez until you are on the stairs just below the floor of the alive mob, and stealth immediately. This will save you the trouble of having to fight the mutated mob again.

Remember, Ambush is a critical key to killing these guys. If you break out of Stealth before you get your Ambush in, you need to run like the wind because you won’t get them down before they get you.

Once these two guys are down, get to full health and head up. Hopefully there won’t be any more mob – but if there are, repeat the same tactics.

Once you get to the top of the Tower, there is a 23 Elite mob who hits very hard. He will take you out in about 15 seconds if you don’t fight him exactly right.

If your Vanish is not on cooldown, this is an easy fight. If you are unlucky and he is standing at the top of the stairs looking right at you, you have 2 possibilities. The first is to run up and use Gouge/Backstab then Vanish. Then Ambush. Then fight him straight out. This will be a very close fight but you should win. The other tactic, which makes the fight a lot easier, is to just run up and go to the right or left and let him kill you. Run back, and he should still be standing there. Now you can use Distract & Ambush, which will immediately take him down 50% health. Fight him straight out and you should kill him. If you have Vanish available and he is not standing at the top of the stairs looking at you, Distract – Ambush – Vanish – Ambush should kill him outright and you won’t hardly take any damage at all. Just make sure you get the 2nd Ambush in immediately, since his health generates very quickly – and I mean very quickly.

If your Vanish is on cooldown, I suggest waiting on the stairs and simply wait for the cooldown to complete. Without it and getting at least one Ambush in, he will kill you. If you are feeling reckless, approach slowly to find out where he is. If he is at the top of the stairs looking at you, you’re toast. Wait for your cooldown. If he is not, you can still do this by the above technique of Distract – Ambush and fight. This is what happened to me and I was down to 5 HP left when he died – I didn’t even have a sliver of my green bar left!

Once he’s dead, get his head first! If you pick the lockbox first, you will get poisoned. This is a nasty poison too, since it debuffs you for -15 Agility and you get a Stealth debuff too, which makes your Stealth almost totally worthless. If this happens, use the Anti-Venom I had you get, which will instantly remove the debuff.

Once you have his head and have picked the lock and gotten the antidote, you need to get the heck out of there. Hearth out! (Remember I told you to set your Hearth Home to Org, right?).

Now run back to Shenthul the Rogue trainer in Org to complete the “Mission” quest. At this point the Trainer will give you a new quest (Hinott’s Assistance) to go to the Apothecary in Tarren Mills (Hillsbrad Foothills). Take the flight from Org to Undercity. It helps if you have the flight path from UC to Tarren Mills, but if not then you need to run – and it’s a long run. (Hint: If you don’t have the flight path to Tarren Mills, make sure you get it while you are there!) Once you complete the quest, you get the Poison Skill. Now you can go to your Rogue Trainer to learn you first 2 Poisons. Now go to the Poison Vendor (Undercity or Org) and make your first 2 new Poisons.

Hint: One last thing to mention. There is a level ? mob that is wondering around just to the East of the Tower. Don’t run into him, or he will 1-shot you. Even Stealthed, you will have a good 20-30 yard aggro range and he runs very fast. Your best shot if this happens is to quickly take off all of your cloths as fast as you can to save repairs. You might want to practice this too in private several times!

Happy Poisoning!

Ok. A lot of ppl look at this quest and say "HOLY S***". Don't worry, it's not hard at all,easily do-able at 20 if u know how. They changed a lot of things about this quest from previous patches however many things remain the same.

Now as far as this quest goes there are a few advantages available depending on your spec. If you are combat or assassination, you are at a bit of a disadvantage. Subtlety spec adds many benefits that will aid you in the different parts of this quest:

1.Master of Deception. This increases your stealth ability and makes it harder for mobs to see you. Incredibly helpful for pickpocketing the key, and sneaking up one those tough guys who need to be ambushed(explained later).
2.Increased Sap range. This allows you to Sap targets before you get even close to their detection range, meaning you can go in for the easy pickpocket or ambush.
3.Ghostly Strike. At lvl 20, you recieve ghostly strike if you're subtlety spec'd which does 125% weapon dmg, as well as increase your dodge chance by 15% for 7seconds! This is incredibly helpful for surviving against the lvl 25s or the 23 elite you will encounter.

Now my rogue was subtlety spec'd so I found this a little easier than those who are assassination or combat will find it.

You must first pickpocket the guy outside the tower to get the key. If u are subtlety, this will be easy, make use of larger Sap range and master of deception. You should get the key on the first try. If ur otherwise spec'd dont worry, it's still possible, it just might take a few tries. If he sees you, run away then try again.
*NOTE* If you are having trouble, you can always complete the rest of the quest first, and return to this part later IF you have one of the following.
1:Anti-venom. Even the first lvl of anti-venom will cure Touch of Zanzil.
2:Another character that is capable of curing poisons.

A list of cures can be found here https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/spell=9991/赞吉尔之触

Once you have the key, stealth, and walk in the doorway of the tower. This is where people will just give up. They see 2 lvl 24-25s and get scared. At level 20 this isn't hard if ur subtlery spec'd but if u aren't just bring healing potions and make sure your sprint ability is up. This is where this part gets easier. These guys are one-hit kills with ambush. The trick is being sneaky enough to get close to ambush. This is where being subtlety spec'd is nice. At lvl 20, you just need to take these guys one at a time. Kill one,sprint away, kill the other. If ur really that worried about this part then find a healer but it isnt rlly necessary.

After you kill the guys on the first floor, stealth, and proceed up the stairs towards the second floor. There are two guys here that are lvl 22-23 and patrol the area in opposite directions. These two have a weakness, Rupture. Although these two are much easier than the first guys you killed, it is still much easier if u wait until the pats are on opposite side before you strike.

After you have killed those two, head up to the third lvl where you will find 3 patrols around the outside ledge of the floor. Like all the other mobs needed to be kill for this quest, they too have a weakness. When you use eviscerate (even if its only 1 combo point), they will turn into smile that will die within 2-3 hits usually. Because there are three of them one this level, you will probably have a hard time fighting each one separately. Do not worry though, you will still be able to kill them fairly easily.

After that battle, stealth and proceed to the top of the tower. There you will see a 23 elite which would seem impossible for a lvl 20, but do not worry, the kind folks at Blizz made an easy shortcut for killing him. Like the guys one the first floor, this elite's weakness is ambush. Although this is not a one-hit kill on this guy, it will still bring him down to 50% hp which gives you a significant advantage. Again being subtlety spec'd makes it easier to Sap-Ambush him but it is still possible to get him if you are not. You just need to be much quicker. After you ambush him, unless you are lvl 22 and have vanish, you must fight him normally (if you have vanish you need to make sure you cast ambush really quickly or he'll restore his health). This part will require the use of evasion, and a healing potion . I did this on my lvl 20 Sub rogue and only lost about 500hp however results will vary depending on gear (i was fairly well geared), and your playing experience. You might also lose more health if you aren't subtlety spec'd because you don't have the advantages listed at the top.

Once you kill him, take the quest items, an head back to Orgrimmar. Turn in the quest and ur done! Just a short hike to Tarren Mill and you're able to use poisons!

Hope this helps,
Happy Leveling!

Did this at level 23 and my guild mate did it at 24 using the same method (he did it first ;))

Stealth up behind him and ambush him. You should take half his health. Instantly vanish and he should turn around again. Ambush him again and he should die.

Easy :)

first of all everyone is feeling pretty good about doing this quest and all they talk about is the subtleities.

Where is this quest?

Coords anyone?

The only tower I saw had nobody in it?

How can I get my pick pocket skill up?

Everyone I've tried to pick pocket, "Invalid target"!

评论来自 Allakhazam

Special attacks are not working for me unfortunately. I'm a lvl 22 BE rogue, and those mobs are not as much fun without the ability to insta-kill them. The key dropped at the first try though.

Are there any non BE rogues having the same problems ?

I paged a GM about it and got a response along the lines of "It is a known problem that the mobs aren't affected by special abilites and we are working on it. Sorry for the incovenience". The GM didn't say if the problem was BE specific. Hope this goes away soon.

Other than that, the quest was soloable for my lvl 22 rogue, even if I died once against the elite boss.

Solo'd at 20

Pickpocket the dude outside
- easy

First 2 mobs on the bottom of the tower:
- wait in stealth, ambush one, run away (far from the tower) until you leave combat
- go back in, ambush the 2nd one
- ambush kills these guys in 1 shot

Next 2 mobs (up first flight of stairs)
- wait in stealth, ambush 1 at the right time. You want them to be split across the circular floor. Picture a clock, you want to attack 1 guard at 6:00 while the others at 12. Keep moving your camera, and running with the guy you're fighting. Keep the other guard opposite from you. Easier done then explained.

Next 2 mobs (up next flight, outside on balconey)
- again, wait in stealth for the right time to jump 1. 3 patrol up here, you only need 2. I ambushed one when the others were far away, THEN PULLED HIM DOWN THE STAIRS. Fight downstairs where you just killed the other guards.

Climb to the top of the tower
- Fight the guy, pop all your abilities, a health pot helps here. I forgot one, and it was a close fight, I had maybe 5% health left.
- Unlock the box with your lockpicking skill, quest done, head to Org (where I'm headed now :P)

Hope this helped a bit. You dont need vanish/distract, but those abilities would help.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Did this at 22 with another 22 rogue, easy. Ambush instant kill the guards on the first floor, those on the third floor turns into a goo with low health after eviscerate (no matter how many combo points) and the elite boss lose 50% health after a ambush so either you do both ambush with help of vanish or just do one each. Was able to lockpick the chest on first try with 96 LP.

To kill Grand Foreman Gallywix i tried to ambush + vanish + ambush but he evaded on me, so i had to ambush then pop evasion and kill him, easiest way is just gouge backstab etc so he doesnt hurt you too bad. Solo'd this quest at 22 :)
Edit: Ambush does high dmg to Gallywix like the drones, but doesnt 1 hit him - it takes 50% hp

K I am 20 lvl troll rogue, did all the things there, didn't have any problem about pickpocketing that guy, I was with another lvl 20 rogue that distracted him and got the key. After that a friend with a lvl 24 warlock came and we kill them all in old fashion way. But....I have low lvl at picklocking :))) I have lvl 0, didn't do that yet. I didn't founded anywhere to do that, where can I go to make some lvl at picklocking?

As of Jan 19th 07 (tbc), none of these mobs had any weaknesses to the skills as posted below =/ Had a hard time soloing the Mutated Drones (25) at level 22, but the rest was fine even without any weaknesses.

I just did this quest with another rogue doing the quest as well. She picked the pocket of the guy, and then I tried. It turns out if he's already had his pocket picked, he no longer has the key! Kill him and wait for a respawn if picking his pocket does not work.

评论来自 Allakhazam

The level 25 Mutated Venture Co Drones will instantly die from Garrote but you will not get credit for their kill.

Also, do NOT do this quest until your Lockpicking skill is at least 100. You may be able to pick the box at a lower level, but it's better to play it safe.

I tried to pick pocket silixiz but when the loot window opened there was nothing to take. Am I doing something wrong? I stealthed up behind him till pickpocket was in range then hit pickpocket, but no key to take. What gives?

I pickpocketed the key from Silixiz, my friend and I sliced our way to the top of the tower, killed the elite, I looted his head, but when I try to open the box it says, "it's locked." But I have the key, and the guy's head, and we even tried resetting the quest by talking to Fizzule again, and same result. What could be wrong?

You can also cure the poison yourself the moment you get it from the guy upstairs...just use the standard FA-"Anti-Venom", worked for me.

Did this as solo lvl 20 - and after i got the key i called upon a lvl 50 from my guild LOL - and did the rest, only i didn't get credit from one of the drones.

After completing the rest i went down and ambushed a drone - killing the poor thing in 1 blow - didn't actually think that could happen :)

评论来自 Allakhazam

Very difficult quest at 20.

I had to get a level 23 to help me do it, as the mobs in the bottom of the tower saw me when I went in.

Without help you should wait until you have vanish to stand any chance.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Ok. Finally got (solo). Now level 27 BE, lol. Had nice blue dagger and blue sword from BFD quest.

Lockpicking went from 111 to 112.

On previous trips I killed everyone except Zanzil, who is elite.

Still no pickups on the kills.

Drones. Outside don't count. Kill 2 inside on bottom floor.

Lookouts are on third level.

Patollers are second level.

And Zanzil is on top floor of tower.

Good luck everyone... Should you choose to accept the mission. LOL.

By the way Zanzil poisoned me in fight with Touch of Zanzil. Lasts 7 days. Oh joy.

1950 XP at level 27. And the Thistle Tea recipe of course. Yeah. Requires Swiftthistle and refreshing spring water, 1x each.

By the way, poison vendor, Rekkul, next door to Shenthul sells flash powder.

Get new quest: Hinott's Assistance. Go see Serge Hinott in Taren Mill to learn poisions. He supposed to cure you of Touch of Zanzil.

It works.
It works as stated here.

Use Ambush on the drones.
Use Evisverate on the upper goblins.
Use Ambush on Gallywix.

I suggest having a healing potion and a thistle tea with you.

Do not use Garrote.

first floor: ambush( instant kill)
second floor: rupture (the first decrease it takes in health will kill it)
third floor: eviscerate ( turns to goo and takes almost all its life even if its only a 1 point eviscerate)

elite boss: ambush it'll take almost half his life then I hit evasion and SS, gouge backstabbed him to death.

this works alot better at level 22 when you have distraction. the first floor mobs saw me very easily
good luck

When you go to get the key from Silixiz make sure you stealth and steal it from him. I killed him the first time and he doesn't drop it. Also you can pickpocket it with very low skill, I did this at level 20 with 80 lockpicking and it worked fine.

The guy in the top of the tower, forget the name, is a level 24 elite, so if you do this at level 20 like I did bring friends.

Last but not least, make sure you use the whistle from now on if you go near Fizzule, we aggroed him accidentally and got smoked for our trouble.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I just did that quest alone at level 20 without even reading here what attack to use where. I just took me few times to try some attack and run if it didn't work =). Only time I died was that elite up in the tower as I had evasion on cooldown(I died and that mob had about 5% health left). Also that's apparently my alt so I had some decent green gear and blue belt.

If you have already some higher level chars it should be doable alone at level 20 but if you are playing your first char then it might be too hard.

Thanks to all the advice from you guys here at Allakhazam, I am sure I'll pull it through.
But I have to say that there's no doubt about this quest being bugged. It IS bugged.

I remember trying to do it several months back with another char and at a nother server than the one I now play at. I couldn't get the key, and after several attempts I wrote a ticket.
In fact I ended up writing three tickets, and never once was it hinted to me that the quest was bugged. I always was left to feel I had done something wrong, but what I did wrong remained unclear.

It was very frustrating. And since I've always got sound and straight advice up til that point, I didn't suspect there could be other things to the issue than me having done something wrong.

I never finished the quest at the time. I moved to another server after having stalled my rogue's progress for some time - during which I focused on another char.

But tonight, after having received the quest again, and again finding that the foreman in front of the tower's southern entrance didn't seem to have the key that he is supposed to have, the whole matter and the frustration at the old server cane back to me.
And I dreaded the thought of having to get stuck with the whole thing once again.

What a relief to find so many posts and so much good advice!

To the BEs: I don't think the quest is bugged specifically for BEs. But your problems may take a little different turn, because your racials are different, and all races' strengths and weaknesses are different.
The quest is simply bugged, and that goes for everyone who happens to trigger them.

I'm a level 25 troll rogue. He's red to me so, so I'm KOS. Obviously, I can't speak to him then. Any ideas? Out of the 100+ posts, not one word about how to start the quest

Did this with 2 other rogues...picked the box OK, but no head :-((

2 of us waited for a respawn, but the 23 elite was too much for us.

Going to have do the quest again.

Bum

评论来自 Allakhazam

I just solo'ed this quest as a level 21 rogue.

Some things to note:

1. Ambush will kill all of the mobs, except for the 23 elite at the top, in one hit.

However, doing this causes you to receive no credit for the kill. So do NOT use ambush on the non-elites. Otherwise you will have to wait for them to respawn.

(I did this on one mob, after not getting credit, I didn't bother on the others. Garrote worked just fine.)

2. Ambush will bring the 23 elite to half health. (It lagged for a second when I did it, so don't be worried if it doesn't go the 50% right away). This will give you credit for the kill. The guy was not terribly difficult. I used one health pot, but I realy didn't need to.

3. You need a certain level of lockpicking. One poster said he had 70. I had 80 and it was orange to me. So, it's a good idea to simply level your lockpicking to 80.

4. As other posters have mentioned, You can use First Aid's Anti Venom to cure the Touch of Zanzil (it's simply a poison effect that lasts 7 days) or have a druid cure it.

5. I don't know if it was changed in a recent patch. But now Touch of Zanzil does not allow you to stealth at all. It also reduces your agi by 15 still.

That's all I have for you now. Good luck! :)

How do a level 20 rogue kill 2 level 25 at the same time?

I can't even stealth, they see me from far even with stealth.

评论来自 Allakhazam

killed undead, killed galywix with a fellow rogue (20 and 21) only to find out the chest has a minimum lockpicking skill required of above 61 and under 84 (since he could pick it and i couldn't).
so make sure you have about 85 lockpicking skill before you mess with the guys inside the tower.

if the cchest says "it's lcoked" it simply means that you don't have the skill required to pick it.
you can try to pick it manually with the lockpicking skill button but you will only get a failure message in the end.
you can only pick locks by right-clicking them if you have the approriate skill, otherwise the gear coursor appears grey.

if silixiz doesn't have the key on him he got probably robbed out by another rogue before you came so you'll have to kill him once and wait for him to respawn with the key on him.
note that the key does not have anything to do with the chest

this quest is only for good assassins. 1 ambush and the elite looses 1/2 hp. 1 ambush or garrote and the drones get a nice instant death. to get the key u have to PICKPOCKET the foreman. to open the chest engineers can blast the lock :)

评论来自 Allakhazam

Whatever you do pick pocket the key FIRST.

I did this quest with another rogue so he got the first key and I decided to do the other parts of the quest first. The poison Touch of Zanzil will cause most NPCs to see through sneak. After 6 failed sneak attempts I'm currently waiting for a GM to verify this was "my fault".

评论来自 Allakhazam

Did it. Had problem trying to stealth to the guy (I did the others first) so I tryed to stealth up to the guy with the key but then he found me so I vanished then PP him :)

If anyone is having trouble finding the tower you're supposed to go to, it lies directly on the 'T' in 'The Sludge Fen' words on your map. Taskmaster Fizzule is a dwarf who stand over in the left bushes in front of the tower. I was expecting a goblin when I read the name Fizzule, so just so people know, they're looking for a dwarf.

Looting Silixiz is exceedingly easy. If you notice the 2 undead patrols who circle the tower, you'll find that they only do a semi-circle. When they're at the left side of the tower, quickly run in on the right side and get behind the tower. You're safe back here. Then slowly come around behind Silixiz and he won't even see you. (make sure the patrols are walking away from Silixiz before you go up to pickpocket him).

That's all I've done so far, I'm planning on doing the rest later tonight, hopefully all will go smoothly. I think I've got the basic idea after reading the tips people have posted here. ^^

I just did this finally at level 20. It was NOT easy... but it's doable. If you can wait til 21 it's much easier.

For everyone that's complaining they can't pick the key off the goblin outside, you CAN, and easily. You have a skill called SAP. Use it! Sneak up on him from behind, NOT the side where you enter the tower, but the other side. Sneak up fast while mashing the sap key. You'll get sap off on him even if he aggros, and then you can pickpocket the key from him.

As far as the two level 25's on the bottom floor go, if you stealth in and hug the right wall, you can usually get around behind them. Either Garotte or Ambush to instakill one, then re-stealth and start with sinister strike on the other (if you garotte or ambush, they die and you don't get credit for a kill) evasion immediately, gouge and bandage, use a potion and you should win just in time as long as you are geared in greens with a decent level 17+ main hand.

The goblins up top you can sap them to separate them and they're much easier to kill than the zombies.

The boss on the very top, sap him, WAIT for your energy to get back to 100, and then open with a garotte or ambush, evasion and so on and you'll be OK. Just make sure you do the chest very last because if you don't have the ability to cure poison on yourself, you cannot re-stealth due to the debuff you get from zanzil's mixture.

You must have enough lock picking skill to open the box, I believe it's 80+. If you go to the boat south of ratchet, you can pick the boxes in there to get it up to 100 in about 30 minutes.

Good luck!

Finished it at level 20. I had two level 25's help me, and another rogue with.

We did the everything but the key first.

Then we killed the key guy, and waited for him to pop. One of us stood behind where he pops, when we saw he was popping we clicked him and then selected pickpocket.

Then we got our key killed him and had the other rogue do the same thing.

Easy.

Our group had to kill Gallywix 3 times in order for all three rogues to get heads. There was also a problem where I was unable to loot the key from pickpocketing Silixiz (got an empty loot box), and I had to drop the quest then re-take it in order for the key to drop. Maybe it's because we were blood elves.

I'm trying to do this quest at 22. I've tried garrote, eviscerate and ambush on the bottom floor drones. Nothing worked. I was able to kill one and then get away, and when I came back for the other it was obviously bugging. The thing wasn't moving but it was still hitting me.
Ambush seemed to work on the lookouts. The patrollers I had to fight normally, since again, nothing worked.
I tried ambush on Gallywix, and only survived by jumping off the tower. I then had to sprint away from the drones on the ground.
What is the deal with this? Is it going to fix itself, or do I need to just bring in a higher-level to help me finish this quest? I really don't want to try Gallywix again unless I'm positive he's going to die.

I'm also a blood elf.

I found that if you used garrote on one of the undead guys you kill it instantly. You don't get any quset credit for killing it, but it makes it easy to do take the other one out without having to worry about 2v1.

Just finished this quest as a lvl23 BE Rogue. As of today, for me, none of the attacks/moves performed as advertised in this thread. Could this quest be somehow bugged specifically for Blood Elves? I was able to finish the quest in any case because at 23 I could handle all of the mobs normally with a modest set of buffs (minor defense pot, +2 sharp on weapons) and the use of a health potion. But the big hit ambushes/rupture/eviscerates did not happen and any lvl 20 doing this solo in a bugged state is going to get slaughtered.

I did this quest at level 21. Im nothing special. 1st you should get the key because you dont have to worry about that poision. How ever , if you do get poisioned ( I did )go back to the crossroads and just have a shaman cure you and you can complete the quest. Thats what I did. You can ambush those drones and instantly kill them, work your way up the tower. I managed to single pull everything, very easy. I even soloed the last guy, I used 1 thristle tea and a healing potion. Then opened the crate. Took me about 2 hrs for this quest, running around and tryin to figure it out. Should have looked here 1st. Running to Taruen Mill also takes awhile. Just keep going south of the undercity, theres not much to worry about on the way there either.

Called for any rogue needing to do this quest and a fellow level 20 spoke up.
Foreman is on west side of tower under tent near crates.Easy to sneak up and pick his pocket, didn't attack me. Had to kill him a respawn for partner to get key.
Used ambush an 1st and 3rd floor NPC's, worked great taking 1/2 of their health.
Hit elite with same, partner and my ambush killed him in two shots. Unfortunately he doesn't have two heads so had to wait for repawn.
Problem was you get poisoned so you can't stealth! So we ran out and had a pally cure us then did it over.
Must say its tougher than the Alliance quest since on that side you don't have to kill an elite. In fact I dont think the guy upstairs in their tower is an elite just a level 25 or so.

Not so hard, only mutate's are hard, just pull them slowly, with gun or something, and do it 1 by 1.

Elite on roof is easy, just ambush, then he get debuff till 50%, use Evasion and finish it!

I noticed that people who post here saying they are playing BE Rogues that cannot pickpocket the goblin. As of today, March 12th 2007, after one failed attempt (he resisted the first time) I was able to pick pocket the goblin and get the key.

I will report back on the mob killing later.

I believe it's just a matter of luck on picking the pocket.

Edit: Upon completion (with some help), the mobs didn't seem to need to die in any specific manner.

As a lvl 20, the guy with the key was too hard to pickpocket. Finally killed him and managed to pick his pocket as he respawned. The guys in the tower spanked me until I cried and went away.

Came back as a lvl 23). Buffed with armor, agility, and stam scrolls and good weapons (sword+mace. Took out the first floor guys without stealth, but needed a health pot as they both came after me.

Didn't stealth the other two groups but was able to pull them one at a time.

Stealthed for the guy on the top and hit him with ambush. His back was to the stairs. He is a lvl 25 elite but went down much quicker than I expected. Probably the easiest kill of the whole thing.

EDIT: All in all, this is a much harder quest than the Allied rogue poison quest,

Just finished it at once as lvl 27 Rogue. The lookouts, drones, patrollers,... were very easy to handle, but the elite lvl 24 was pretty close. Also used a health-potion, or i would die.

I was quite stumped on this quest since I just got level 20 and wanted to get my poisons. I have to admit this quest was pretty fun when I figured it out.

Before you go, MAKE SURE your lock picking is about 85, I didnt and had to do this quest twice. If your lockpicking skill is low, go south of ratchet in the water is a pirate ship. In the ship are multiple chests that you can just keep opening over and over and over until about level 120 or so. I stopped at 100 because it was taking too long to level up, but this is the best place to get those levels, just make sure you are above 85 in lock picking.

First: stealth behind Silixiz and pick pocket him. If he doesnt have the key, kill him (make sure the 2 undead walking around the tower arent near, or pull him into the hills), and wait for his respawn to kill him again. Make sure he is dead for the next part regardless of whether you got the key on the first try or not.

Stealth into the hallway on the first floor of the tower. Do not enter the room or the two mutated level 25s will see you. If you agro one of them, you will agro the other, so run out of the tower as far as you need to in order to lose agro and try again. The idea is the sneak up behind the closer one and ambush him. Even if you are really low level, the ambush will instantly kill him ( my level 20 killed him no prob). If you dont get ambush off, run out until you lose agro and run back. Hopefully you killed silixiz otherwise he'll agro you too, and your chances to make it out alive are lessened. Once you ambush-kill the first mutated undead mob, run out with the other chasing you. You probably are too low to kill him, so lose agro, go back, and ambush him because he too will die in one shot from ambush.

Stealth up to the next floor, but stay on the steps so you dont get agroed by the two patrolling goblins. These two are pretty normal level 22s. ambush one without agroing the other, and pull him downstairs so the other one doesnt find you mid-fight. Kill the first one, rest, stealth, ambush the second and kill him right on floor 2 since nothing is left to agro. No special moves will do anything for these two patrolling goblins.

Stealth up and get to the third floor. There is a door leading outside to where the lookouts are. Try to get ambush off on the first one and pull him inside so you dont get agroed from the second one. Eviscerate ASAP because when you evischerate the lookouts, they turn into a green goo and their life gets halved. This is why I love this quest, highly original. Killing them one at a time should be no problem. Once you kill both, stealth and proceed to the top of the tower.

The level 24 Elite is standing there in all his glory with his back always facing you so ambushing is easy. If you are high enough (upper 20s), you can get away with soloing this guy. It's still tough though. Ambushing him instantly takes away half of his life, but he's still a pain(hits mostly between 100 and 120, at level 20 I only have about 580 life which means about 5 hits and im dead). Because I had to come back, and I had already killed him once, an alternative to killing him again if you made the same mistake as me is sapping him. He is a humanoid. What I did was sap him, get the chest, and RUUUUN. I made it out alive =). Only do this is you already killed him and got his head because you do need his head. A group of 3 level 20's should do the trick, or just 2 if one is a healer and the other is a rogue.

Hope this helps =)

I hit level 20 with my rogue a few nights back but have played with my alternate alt but reading on here, some of you soloed this at level 20 so what I want to know is what weapons did you have? I got some cruddy 9.0 and 9.1 dps daggers and with the damage I do for ambush and backstab, it seems I would get raped sideways by these mobs.

评论来自 Allakhazam

This quest is easy at level 22, because you get 2 helpful talents: Distract and Vanish.

1. Pickpocket Sillixiz, if you can't do this, reroll to another class.

2. Stealth into the tower, distract the two mutated drones. Get behind 1 and Ambush him, he should instantly die. The other will aggro. Hit your Vanish skill, he will de-aggro. Go behind him and Ambush. He is now dead as well.

3. Go up through the next levels just picking off guards 1 by 1 without aggroing the whole floor.

4. This is tricky, for the Foreman. Stealth behind him, ambush, Sinister Strike, VANISH (he should immediately run back to his spawn point) VERY QUICKLY AMBUSH HIM AGAIN BEFORE HE REGAINS HEALTH. This should be enough to kill him.

5. Pick the lock (Need level 80 lockpicking). Apparently you are supposed to get infected with a poison, but it's broken for me. I just get stuck in a looting position.

Only one rogue can pickpocket the key (you need to be straight behind him), then you need to kill him for the key to reappear. Garrote insta-killed undeads.

Loot zanzil after doing the rest, chest applies posion: -50% stealth -15agi for 7 days. Quest giver tells you how to dispell the poison, but you may request from a shaman too. You will need 100 pick lock to open the chest (do the quest on the boat from ratchen first).

Too bad not doing this myself alone, seems doable at lvl 20. Use garrote against undead lvl 25 (it insta kills them), evasion, sap goblins, etc, you can kill them one by one if you are careful.

That quest is not bugged, you must pick pocket the goblin for key, if you are too low level, to do this without fight just ask your friend (dont inv him to group) to take aggro, and then in stealth pick pocket goblin. Thats all =) if goblin will not give you key, kill him, wait for respawn, and pick pocket again, then for sure you will get key.

Soloed as 20 Rogue twink with 1400hp

Killed the 2 guys outside easily.
----------------------------------
Then the 2 inside the building became a bit harder,
I just nuked 1, and sprinted outside.
Then I took the other lvl 25.
----------------------------------
Went upstairs, can't remember their levels, but it were
goblins, so humanoids, sapped 1 and nuked the other.
----------------------------------
Went upstairs again, and did the same as the 2 goblins.
----------------------------------
Big boss time!
Ambushed him with a nice crit, he hitted me several times
for 100+ I gouged him and bandaged with mageweave bandage (800)
Then I spammed SS and did SD and I took him down with only 200hp left.
----------------------------------
Lockpick the box behind him, I went a lvl up from 95 to 96.
----------------------------------
Now the most annoying part of the quest..
Pickpocketing the Foreman ->
If you try to stand behind him to pickpocket him, he will see you.
Kill him + the patrolls outside the building, and wait till the Foreman respawns
Then pickpocket him quickly and Congrats! Quest complete!

You actually don't need the flares, nor the whistle at this point. After I dropped the quest, I approached in stealth, /salute(d) and now we have poisons. And more Thistle Tea. You can finish the quest and still pick up a flare gun after talking to dude in org at 25.

So satisfying to do things the hard way! I managed to solo it at 20, in greens and worse.

If you're less patient, it's a lot easier at 22 when you have better stealth and can Ambush + Vanish.

If you want to solo it at 20, I recommend a lot of patience, as you'll probably have several corpse runs, and the following:

Spec in Subtlety for improved stealth (Master of Deception Camouflage) - you'll need it for the level 25 guys on the first floor
Get a reasonable dagger and sword, and macros (see below) to swap them at need. I had Hook Dagger of Agility and one of Stamina (luxury!) and Sword of the Night Sky
Make sure your skill in swords and daggers and defense is 99 or better - don't want to miss your attacks on Gallywix
Level first aid up to 150, and get some Mageweave Bandage. You won't be able to make them, but you can use some if you get them from AH or a higher level player.
Anti-Venom if you want to cleanse the Touch of Zanzil
Get buff! I used buff food and lowbie "Minor" potions Defense, Agility, Fortitude, even Lion's Strength (every little bit helps!). I forgot to use Heavy Sharpening Stone. Mark of the Wild and Power Word: Fortitude would be great, too.
Healing Potion - I ended up not using it on my successful attempt, but used a bunch in previous attempts
Target Dummy can be really helpful to let you run away when you're being chased by multiple mobs
Slumber Sand to pause for a full bandage (much longer than Gouge)

Bring extras of your consumables, because you'll probably die multiple times, and have some ghost runs to think it through. You'll probably also burn through multiple aborted attempts ("run away!"), especially on the ground floor.

Pickpocket Sillixiz by carefully approaching him from behind, while the patrolling guards are far away.
Ambush the mobs on the first floor (level 25!) by waiting until they are facing away, running up and ambushing, then running away (probably popping Evasion and maybe healing potions to get away. Target dummy can be really helpful here, as you'll probably hit guards when running out of the tower. The mobs you're trying to sneak up on will probably see you several times, requiring multiple attempts before you get the Ambush off succesfully.
The second floor mobs are easy - opener for a combo point, then Rupture, then finish it off. Repeat.
Third floor is similar, though the mobs patrol outside, and you use Eviscerate instead of Rupture. Can sap one or just be patient to separate them. Turn on Enemy Nameplates and possibly add raid markers to help you keep track of mob locations - these can even be seen through the walls.
Gallywix always faced out for me, and I wasn't careful about dying. I wasn't able to kill him in a face-to-face fight, even after ambush, so I worked it:

Ambush for the special "remove half his health".
Gouge, move behind him, pause until about to break, Backstab. Repeat. Eviscerate when 5 combo points
when I missed Gouge, Evasion, Sinister Strike & Thistle Tea and Eviscerate until Gouge is off cooldown
when health gets low (but not too low!) hit Slumber Sand (or Gouge) and Mageweave Bandage
Would have hit health potion if I got low enough, but he died before I needed it

Open the box, get poisoned, and do a little /dance. Cleanse the poison using Anti-venom if you're not just hearthing off to finish the quest (players will often cleanse this for you, or you can die and it goes away). I wanted to finish the series and cleanse it the intended way ("And what is that foul aroma you are giving off? I must know!"), and this time no friendly bystander cleansed it from me.

My macros:

#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/use Sinister Strike
/equipslot 16 Sword of the Night Sky

double-tap the backstab macro to equip and then backstab!

#showtooltip Backstab
/use Backstab
/equipslot 16 Hook Dagger of Agility
/equipslot 17 Hook Dagger of Stamina

To pick pocket Silix's tower key at 20 without needing to respec (or first go for improved stealth), you can kill him first, and wait behind his spawn point for him to respawn. Mobs are usually passive for a few seconds when they respawn, so you can quickly pick pocket him when he's in that state without him reacting.

Be careful of the two patrolling drone mobs though, they will see you if you camp on the spawn point, I found that out that the hard way, so on my second attempt I backed off a bit from the spawn point and moved in when they left. I got unlucky with the timing because he spawned as the patrol approached, but I just went for it, sneaked in and got the key then sprinted off.

If your Quest Tracker is not updating after pickpocketing Silixiz's Tower Key. Please CHECK your keyring and drag it manually into one of your Main Bags. It's silly how the Quest Tracker not update when it's in the Keyring. We initially thought it was a bug and ended up redoing the whole quest but to no avail. We couldn't find an answer here either.

Ok, so I was a bit confused about this quest, but this is what you need to do:

Preparations:
Make sure you have at least 85 skill in 开锁 or you won't be able to pick lock the chest and loot the 赞吉尔的改良药剂
Find a group, invite a friend or get yourself some (food)buffs and health pots/bandages.
Pickpocket the 希里克斯的塔楼钥匙 from 工头希里克斯
He's just outside the tower.
Kill the 2 变异风险投资公司工人's on the 1st floor of the tower.
Distract, sap one, kill the other with ambush, etc.
Kill the 2 风险投资公司巡逻员's on the 2nd floor of the tower.
They're much lower level and easier to kill.
Kill the 2 风险投资公司看守's on the 3rd floor.
Also easy to kill.
Kill 大工头普兹克·加里维克斯 on the 4th floor and loot 加里维克斯的头颅.
Best to ambush him, he'll have 50% life left. Do your rotations, time your pots/bandages. I still had 沉睡之砂 from 新的瘟疫, so this made it easy for me to hibernate him and use a bandage.
Pick lock the chest and loot 赞吉尔的改良药剂.

I was/am level twenty and had trouble with the mutated drones which were 5 levels above and not ambush-able. I managed to isolate one at a time and had minor food buffs and the Goldenmist Special Brew quest reward potion to +70 health. I had decent gear from Wailing Caverns and RFC. The other enemies were cake. Gallywix was easy, I had Ghoststrike which came in handy for all mobs. Good luck!

评论来自 LordStreetguru

So I only did a little bit of research on the quest, waiting until level 22 because of that. I had learned vanish, so imagine my shock when you needed reagents just to cast it, had to run back to the crossroads to get Flash powder. Made it back to the top of the tower without trouble, only to found out from just switching to combat, that I couldn't cast ambush without daggers. Back the crossroads to grab random white daggers from an NPC. Finally I was ready to claim my prize, easy double ambush to kill the boss, now I just had to pick the..."Requires theive's tools to cast". Back to the crossroads asap to grab the tools, and final finally it was back to the boss, easy one shot, cast lockpick and...."not enough skill".

I guess this really is the classic experience.

评论来自 HrdScp

To do a huge amount of damage to the quest mobs and make the quest a lot easier, equip daggers and:
Garrote the Mutated Drones
Rupture the Patrollers
Eviscerate the Lookouts
Ambush Gallywix

Half of these only worked unreliably for me, I could not figure out how to even get near the Mutaded Drones without them seeing me, so I recommend the quest at 22+.
I also read about people "double ambushing" Gallywix, no idea how that works

评论来自 Dahlius

Don't bother doing this at 20, the two mobs at the ground floor are both level 25 and will instantly see through your stealth (even at 5/5 MoD) before you get anywhere close to attacking them. And even if you somehow manage to clear your way up to the top, getting an ambush off on Gallywix is a complete crapshoot as he tends to spin around the second you get up the stairs. I managed to ambush him once (out of 4 attempts) and still ended up dying to a series of unfortunate critical attacks.

评论来自 GrandyUiD

All sorts of funky stuff going on here.

First of all, this quest is a LOT easier at level 22, especially the Mutated Drones, since you get Distract and Vanish.

My Ambush missed, but still insta killed the Drone. However, it didn't count as a kill for the quest. Decided to do the other stuff first until the Drones respawn. Kind of a mistake. The poison you get by opening the chest seems to severely weaken the effectiveness of Stealth. It was impossible to get close to the Drones again, so I had to kill the second one the hard way.

评论来自 Libritor

Just a tip I figured that I didn't see anyone else post.
Be level 22.
On the last floor to kill Gallywix, you can use Ambush, fight him with Evasion and when evasion ends, Gouge, go behind him, Vanish and very quickly Ambush.
The second Ambush deals as much damage as the first and it's a very easy solo.

评论来自 Casuvia

Having done this with 2 rogues, I can confirm that double ambush does in fact 1-shot Gallywix. However, with that being said, if you do this he will not drop his head and you will need to wait 10 minutes for him to respawn. He also only drops 1 head at a time, so you will be there at least 10 minutes per rogue in the party.

For anyone still punching the wall over this: you wont get credit for the two patrolling Drone mobs outside the tower. It needs to be the two who are inside on the first floor.

描述

你必须从工头希里克斯身上偷出塔楼的钥匙，<name>。拿到钥匙之后，就把它收好——你也许用得到它。

记住，毒药已经让塔楼里的所有人都变得虚弱不堪。尽你所能给那些家伙制造混乱和破坏，把他们全都杀了——不要手下留情！

等里面所有人都躺在血泊中之后，你就可以去打开加里维克斯的箱子，然后拿走赞吉尔的改良药剂。把加里维克斯的脑袋和药剂一起交给奥格瑞玛的申苏尔。
