Surviving Un'Goro Crater


If you are venturing to Un'goro Crater make sure to bring swiftness potions or go with hunter (aspect of the pack) if you are mountless. Though you can survive at level 45 in the crater, survive is primarily all you can do solo (other than herbing/mining). The crater is the place to go for mining Thorium, Mitrhil and Truesilver. Though watch out for the Pterodons as they jealously guard those veins time to time. On the herbing side, sungrass, dreamfoirl, un'goro soil, bloodspouts and golden samsan are your main targets.

Getting to Marshall's Refuge can be quite the task but the best and safest route is to hang a right as you enter the crater from the road leading out of Tanaris. There is a Tauren quest giver on a rock at this intersection so you may want to pick up some quests while your there. Follow the ridgeline until you get to the gorillas. Avoid them unless you are in a group or a lvl 50+. Skirt around the mini-king kongs and then back to the mountains. Keep running until you see a goblin chick by the tar pits. The path to Marshalls Refuge and flight path is right there.

There are plenty of big XP quests in Un'goro. You will find it easy to group with others when other players are there though recently I haven't seen an abundance of toons playing in the crater.
One last note to getting the crater. You have to run through Tanaris. The path is on the other side of Zul' Farak (troll instance). Just meander your way thru the desert staying close to that area. Time to time open your mini-map which shows the path. You will enter an area of Thistleshrub toons you can grind/quest items or run by them.
Good luck :)
