Unknown Discoveries

My day was winding down, and I felt like doing some PvE on Guuah. Don’t need to do Delves anymore, so let’s do LFR. One last go before we’re moving on to Undermine.

(The rare cloak dropped off Ras and I got a 93 and lost to a 94 and no i’m not salty at all why would you think that)

Anyway, in between queues, did some random flying around. Went to Azshara to stroll through Bilgewater Harbor, not much there so just randomly flying along the cliffside.

I do this because there’s a bunch of random things you can find out in the world. I call some of them “death huts” because they consist of some housing, a skeleton and maybe some meat. Completely untold stories of someone’s demise.

While flying along Winterspring’s cliffside I find a relatively high definition looking area: The trees looked a lot different than your average Cataclysm trees. Investigating, I found this small cave. This is way off the beaten path, there’s no way this is tied to a quest, at least not one I know.

What followed was the rest of my evening being spent sussing out a series of puzzles and finding relatively rare and obscure items both in the auction house and in the world to solve what was in the cave for a little prize.

I’m leaving details vague intentionally in case people want to discover what’s in there themselves, but it was real darn neat. Makes me wonder if there are little secret things that I have no idea about out in the world to find and delve into. Really made me remember, ‘hey, this is a whole darn world despite how streamlined things are now’.

Anything you all ran into that caught you completely off guard?

A while ago I was swimming randomly around Isle of Dorn and I found SpongeBob.

I’m not joking. There’s SpongeBob in the sea near Isle of Dorn.

You know, I need to dedicate a day just to look around all over underwater. I’m sure there’s all kinds of neat stuff.

Just gonna prep a diving helmet, get a turtle mount and go down under.

If you’re interested in figuring out some more secret stuff, look up Uuna.

Okay, now you have me intrigued.

I did, glanced at a Wowhead article and there’s a comment about a step. I’m intrigued.

I’m going to see how to get started with that and may make that my after work WoW project after work is wrapped up for the day.

Also when Uuna is finished she eventually leads to two more secret items. :slightly_smiling_face:

Be warned, it is involved and may lead you down the path to the 2 secrets that followed.

It certainly did for me. :slight_smile:

A few years ago they said there’s things in the original game that haven’t been discovered yet.

That cave is part of the secrets series.

Got a source? I’d be interested in reading that and seeing if they left any clues.

It was on either a Blizzard Watch or The Instance podcast at Blizzcon a few years back. I don’t remember which.

I believe it’s this.

Part of the Sun Darter Hatchling secret.
