Caverns of Time (Old Hillsbard foothills, patch 5.1.0)

[Psypher93]

Hello community it has been some time since i've tried exploring since Blizzard seems to find it fitting to remove almost every possible way to explore by ''nerfing'' or just removing or adding obstacles in every patch. I have tried to explore this continent for weeks. I know this might have been done in earlier times, but in these days its good if you even find a way round.


1 interesting thing is when you get to the keep and cross the crypt in the garden you move to (Crypt) contested area. Wow blizzard was fast to nerf this one, you can no longer use Bottled Tornado inside this instance. Lasted for 1 day.

This place is absolutely the explorers nightmare there is about 2-10 invisible walls blocking your ways from every possible corner covering the whole map making it near impossible to get trough. I struggled for about 1-2 hours to get trough these barricades, but in the end it was worth it. The area behind the great wall is absolutely amazing with many places to see including ''secret caves'' and beautiful textures such as the garden inside the keep. The only way to do this? is to use Bottled Tornado and alt f4 repeat steps to get to the highest point of the great wall, drop down from the tallest point staying all the time near the gate itself and sort out the invisible walls which can and will get you stuck so being a warlock really helps with the portal.

Items Used:
- Bottled tornado
- Darkmoon "Tiger"

Requirements:
- Luck and lots of it
- Warlock spell ''Eye of Kilrogg''
- [Glyph of Eye of Kilrogg]
- Ability to get pass invisible walls.
- Be a warlock for your own sake.

I enjoyed this a lot, and as Leonim said, can't go wrong with Bittersweet Symphony!

I noticed you said you used Bottled Tornado. I currently don't have gametime right now, but I am curious if you can get to the Hinterlands area using the Bottled Tornado. Awhile back, I explored this instance and made a video about Heroic Leaping to Hinterlands from the Arathi Highlands. Here is the video, as well as the thread ([Old School Exploration] Old Hillsbrad Foothills (two videos)) I am talking about.

I guess what I would like to find out is if you can do this with the Bottled Tornado. WizardTrokair asked this question in my video and I never actually got to make a follow up video before they fixed Heroic Leap. The reason I didn't explore down there was simply for the sake of finishing the tutorial on getting to the Hinterlands area.

Hey, what stopped you from jumping down at the 3:18 mark? I'm sure I would have leaped down there myself... but it looks like you made the right decision.

I guess until I get gametime hopefully in the next few days I will see if I can post a video of that area. There are other places that I wasn't able to get to in my other videos that I wouldn't mind revisiting as well.

Again, nice thread and exploration, and thanks for bringing this to my attention! +4rep

Thank you for your positive feedback i will try to reach the other parts of the foothills (Hinterlands) Which has been my goal also, but easier said than done the invisible walls block most of the place when trying to get there.
