Lost codex of the Amani

So through the fancy use of gust of wind and goblin gliders I've reach the unaccessable areas of the OH Firelands and Skywall that in their original Raid/dungeon version are (Sulfuron Keep, Shatterstone, The 3rd Skywall platform) and sadly found nothing. There are mobs on the 3rd Skywall platform but half of them drop nothing and the other half drop only greys (not even silver or copper).

Sadly, though not surprisingly, another dead end.

Fun fact though they completely removed the platform where you battle rag in sulfuron keep.

I really like this idea! Though "shape your own fate" bit makes me think he might be who you do the Seal of Broken Fate (legion reroll token) work order with, should you just that upgrade for the 5 tier of research in your order hall.


I believe you're correct - a search on wowhead shows a version of Bath'rah the Windwatcher with the tag "Seal of Broken Fate Shipment" under his name, so his purpose is pretty much spelled out right there. I was curious about the OH versions of Firelands/Skywall myself, since they're still accessible even after completing the campaign quests, so I did a quick run-through. Didn't find anything either, and it sounds like you were much more thorough.

Looks like we're back to square one... ugh. :(

If anyone took a look at MMO-C this morning we now have absolute confirmation it can be ANYWHERE. Here is how you get the Ret paladin hidden appearance:

ll Nefarian for Head of Nefarian
Make a copy of A Complete Copy of "Nat Pagle's Guide to Extreme Anglin'.":
Head to Dire Maul and loot A Thoroughly Read Copy of "Nat Pagle's Guide to Extreme Anglin'." from A Dusty Tome
Head to Alterac Valley and loot Nat Pagle's Guide to Extreme Anglin' from player corpses.
Somehow convince Sister Elda to combine the parts.
Bring these items to Prince Tortheldrin and turn it in.
Head to the Bulwark in Tirisfal Glades and talk to the traveler who talks about Timolain.
The Traveler will send you to find Grand Inquisitor Isillien's Journal and read it.
Get Timolain's Phylactery by killing a slime.
Summon Timolain and get Shard of Darkness
Return to your order hall and the final quest, Walking in Shadows, rewards the appearance.

That btw is a reference to a Vanilla forum post about how to get the original corrupted Ashbringer.
84
Has anyone tried out ZA, ToT, IoT and Kun Lai?
85
Might be hidden in the ghost lands outside ZA as well. Happy hunting
86
While I doubt it because the alliance couldn't go there, what about Silvermoon or Isle of QQ? Blood Elves could've kept it in some kind of archive
87
I did a ZG run and a Zul'Aman Bear run - no special loot drop. I did not explore for any lootable world object in the two instances though.

I did do a Throne of Thunder run on normal - no special loot. I did not do Ra-Den... I will need help running Ra-Den as I can't solo that !@#$.
88
i think were being TROLLED by blizzard

According to the wall of lore Shelldin posted
They eventually fought their way through and using a vial of water from the Original Well of Eternity Dath'Remar created the Sunwell and began to build Silvermoon on top of what had once been sacred Amani Ruins.


We can give Sunwell a try aswell since we are all desperates already...

I think tonight I will be scouring all of STV as there was a lot of troll related quests there.
91
places to try and find it.. right at the top of my head are.. Isle of Quel'Danas, Eversong Woods and Ghostlands.

On ghostlands i would start at the amani catacombs, those catacombs that you do a quest there, near farstrider enclave, lil north west of it.

Edit: Also i think would be best to search the place on hillsbrad foothils where bath'rah the windwatcher stood to give shamans quests, on vanilla. Maybe he left a clue there.

So those are the places linked to troll lore that i would check first.. ill do it whenever i get home from work..
92
So someone on wowhead posted this:

(By Dunkeld)
"On the off-chance anyone from the US Shammy Forums reads this (I can't post there as I'm EU) I've already solo'd HC ToT with Fist of Ra-den and there was no special interaction with Ra nor anything in the instance to pick up so you guys can stop worrying about it :P"

So that's out unless it's not a garunteed drop thing.

I'm going to cry if it ends up just coming from some random raid boss
93
Hey I know someone earlier mentioned having tried archeology. What archeology did you do exactly? was it Broken shore digsites or troll ones? or both?
94
I scoured every troll site in STV and the Cape, to no avail. Also checked ZG just in case the person who posted earlier missed something, but seems like as someone mentioned earlier, it may be connected to Ghostlands/ZA, that will be my next stop.

UPDATE: Ghostlands combed through, still haven't seen anything to interact with. There were locked chests but i doubt those have anything to do with it as those have been in the game since BC. ZA was also empty, not a single clue to be found. Off the Eversong Woods next after I get out of class

Also, has anyone looked through karazan yet? Curious if it could be there since its a tome and theres been a lot of focus in karazan lately
95
Here's a thought I had while reading through everything. Suramar. stick with me for a second here. Elves are trolls. They just kinda evolved. We have never heard of this weapon before and it is supposedly ancient. Possibly something to do with the trolls that became the nightfallen? There was a post about sunwell being built on top of old troll stuff, possibly so is the nightwell?
96
Unlikely. Not only do the elves, specially the ones that were close to the highborn or ex-highborn, refuse to admit the theory of Elves being evolved trolls, but the nightborne aesthetic is very different to the hidden skin aesthetic.
97
Elves aren't Trolls they were Trolls. The Nightelves evolved from the shadow trolls (confirmed lore, not a theory) not the Amani tribe. The Sunwell was built several thousand years after the Nightwell and not a top any troll ruins. The Shadow trolls were that became the night elves were very into with nature and focused on learning. Completely different than the savage Amani Trolls. IF the hidden skin has anything to do with the Nightborne it'd only be the fact the "Lost" codex couldve ended up in their possesion during the territorial disbutes with the Night Elves during the reign of Queen Azshara. and before the sundering/raising of the barrier around Suramar.

For everyone one searching Troll (or any) locations make sure you're not just looking for a item you can interact with. there's a very good chance it will drop from a mob so kill stuff and loot too.
98
I went around to these locations, killed mobs and searched for any sort of clickable interaction and didn't find anything.

Zul'Masher
Jintha'Alor
The Altar of Zul
Shadra'Alor
Raventusk Village

Yojamba Isle
Gundrak
Drak'Tharon Keep
Throne of Thunder (Heroic)

Ghostlands
Temple of Atal'Hakkar
Ruins of Zul'Mamwe
Zul'Drak: Altars

I noticed something in our class hall, by the wind portal odds the setup for all our tier sets and unlocked artifact weapon skins. (changes with spec hovering in front of pillars)

Can anyone say if other class halls have these? My math or memory might be wrong but could they have more pillars than known skins to come?

As a note: there is a difference between Zandalari and Amani so when looking in Pandaria Troll areas id only stick to areas with Amani trolls.

Also, I wonder if it could be related to artifact knowledge research? It is a codex. I know that many Rets are suspecting theirs is gated behind AK due to some data mining iirc.
