WoW Classic - How to 1 Pull ZF at Level 40 with NO MOUNT AND NO POTS!

[@andrewburhans4166]

Next up, how to zf pull lvl 1 without blizzard

[@Novacification]

EXCELLENT guide. Did this at 41 with no prior experience with the pull or with AoE farming. Gave it a go. Rewatched the video. Tried again. Within 10 attempts I had them down and a nice 3rd of a level to show for it. Best guide out there from what I've found.

[@winterbreaksable]

I used your guide to level my mage in zf from 40. Though i did use the only strat of just running through normally with not invis pot. Took me about 6 hours to finally get to the zombies though.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Any route you took? Early reset spot?

[@oliverbolden7926]

Just to be realistic about this, I’ve learned how to do it in the past day and while it’s doable at level 40 it is VERY difficult. Not to deter anyone but arlaeus makes it look giga simple but the reality is if you get a couple bad resists you’re dead. This whole farm is so so so much easier at 42 and unless you’re willing to put some real time into it (or fancy your resist luck) you should go at 42. That being said I could have just been mega unlucky, I also made some bad mistakes which enhanced my resist tilt. Glhf all great, detailed video as always tho :)

[@casualb3737]

Miss your videos😢 Still watch them when I forget things, 100% the best guides on KZbin. Hope your living life man💙

[@gdjbchipy]

7:34 I play a male gnome mage and you are actually able to get up on top, it just takes some practice, it took me maybe a minute to learn it. What you have to do is start a little bit to the right and jump at an angle into the cliff, and if you did it right you are able to jump once more and get on top of the ledge. Sometimes you will not jump high enough or in the correct way / position so when you jump you will fall right back down

[@joselinggabrielafernandezp4477]

bruh i just spam the space buttom + w , tested with female and males , idk how Arlaeus cant do it :l

[@ZeeCtHD]

I did this yesterday at 41 + all rested exp. Got 80% of a whole level in one run, was insane.

[@arlaeus9491]

Nice man!!!

[@s0la.scr1ptura]

I did it today at level 42 unrested and got 890 exp per kill.

[@final33633]

if you're an enchanter and are struggling with the jumps back and forth try a minor speed enchant. the +8% increase makes it harder to undershoot the jump. not necessary, but a bigger margin of error could make it a lil bit easier

[@N5811Bot]

On my 7th try right now at 40 (with mount) made it to second safe spot but wasn’t quite far enough over and pat burned me. Think I’ll get it this time ;) thanks for the video!

[@arowe5211]

He makes it look easier than it is

[@wyattschares5096]

Bro, its not hard. At all.

[@chandlerstlouis8110]

I just watched the most recent guide before this to my knowledge of doing it with the two invis pots, i innovated on the strat and only need 1 pot at the start then I use the safe spot in the middle stretch area and mount up and run to the gy after. Works pretty well, only thing I need to practice is the kill phase because I seem to mess up the positioning a little bit but this video helped by seeing how you set up the kill phase with your jump timing and stuff. Thanks for the guides, I’m really trying my hardest to level right now lol

[@ra1n966]

I watched this live.. Made you workout... And still watched the whole clip just for the respect of it :D

[@arlaeus9491]

Hahaha I appreciate it!

[@unbekannt2898]

@@arlaeus9491 2:46 how u do that? plz make a guide

[@chriseau6984]

The trick with the reset spots is that you CANNOT get seen by the pats. If you do (at least with an male UD mage) there's a tiny freaking safe zone on the 2nd reset spot, if you get spotted bt those pats you're dead 4 times out of 5 at level 40. My personal strat is to get a mount, do the jump on the right side and wait for the pats to stay clear of the 2nd safe zone, and always keep double shield. if you manage to do it you're in business. Unfortunately, it took me 7h of trials and error to get my groove going, and I average 40 to 50k xp an hours with split pull as a first time mage player. Definitely enjoyed the challenge even tho I raged a lot in the beginning. Another advise is to get rid of your breakable gear if you keep dying (keep the rings, offhand, neck and cloak), get the tempo going, and as soon as you find your rhythm you can equip your gear on the way to the graveyard. Lost at least 10g of repair until I decided to go commando (had 950hp and 2.6k mana with unbreakable gear and AI). Unless you want the challenge, I would go against trying it before level 42-43.

[@Shinraaa_tv]

ZF is that dungeon that never goes away on ur channel! lmao

[@wanderer891]

Recently i watched some of your videos. I like your style of explanation. Its quite on point, funny, smart and without (too much) bullshit. :-) I hope i get to see one of your streams maybe.

[@justinarnolduk]

The first 'safe spot' doesn't work. I've just tried it 20 times, and even when laying behind the blocks any patrolling mob can still target me and kill me.

[@pixelarm4564]

Works for me. Just started this today. If you're not a Gnome I'm sure he said to "/sleep" behind the first safe spot, maybe that's it?

[@justinarnolduk]

@@pixelarm4564 tried /sleep, /lay and /sit, but the mobs still attacked me, forcing me to stand up again and get hit. Tried spamming the macro, but no good.

Reset spots dont work. I pop out to wand a totem, And make sure there are no totems. but it just simply doesnt work

[@bt8593]

I'm going to comment here and update with my obs of trying this starting at 40 as an Undead mage. First reset went off without a hitch. In the second reset spot there was at least one mob that was able to hit me with Shadowbolts whether I was standing or laying down. I tried repositioning a few times to no avail. I brought 35 lesser invisibility potions with me and will probably use one on the next try for the 2nd spot.

[@bt8593]

Shadowbolts can also hit you in the 1st spot.

[@login5483]

How th f can you jump on the wall in first safe spot i cant trying and dying like madman..... I am also undead .

[@mekkiepoo]

Noob question.. how do you get out to reset? Recall? Die? Port? or weave your way back through reset spots?

[@jacko2131]

I've just started trying this out at level 41 (human male), I'm having troubles getting up the first hill on the left to get on top of the wall, I keep getting stuck while jumping up.

[@edlectric]

im stuggling with the first reset spot

[@Njoythis]

@@edlectric if you don’t have a mount yet like me, you can run left and jump onto the wall like in the video (I’m troll race), but you have to jump and stop pressing “w”, there is an invisible ledge

[@Njoythis]

@@edlectric run all the way to the end of the wall and you’ll deaggro the basilisk / other mobs and be able to regen etc. :) then I usually wait for pats to clear, shield up, drop onto the stack of mobs just below and blink towards the next “entrance” and nova after while running to next reset spot

[@rockara]

Tried this as a human mage during wotlk classic. (Will leave comment unedited for date). I would like to know if this is normal or something new. It seems the npc's of zul'farak has learned to teleport, further than blink. This has happend while moving on that first ledge (the brazier jump, but not every time), just after jumping down the ledge (thus far only if the brazier jump happend), and the first reset spot (behind the boxes, also on top of the boxes, in any way they are able to reach you) I am playing human mage, unknown if/how other races are affected.

In the last part kiting back and forth one of the mobs cc'ed me into a frog which obviously screwed me. Any tips for that.

[@tristanmeadows]

thats if u pull the hunter mob not the zombies. There is 2 pats in that room that come inside and out you should raid tag and pull when they are outta the way. If you get the shadowhunter even at 54 it can wipe u

[@xXxSINNERxXx619]

First I'd like to say thank you for your tutorials. I have my mage at 42 and am starting this strat. My question is, how is the reset done? Do you have to run all the way back? Is there a strat for that. Thanks again.

[@Klannahar]

Eighter inv ur alt char into ur party, then just log off with ur mage, and w8 till ur alt get the lead then reset and log back, or u have to try to run back. I did use the alt switch cause it is more safe. If u die it will take a lot time to run back and u have to go back to city much earlyer to repair ur gear cause of death.

Only had an issue with the 2nd reset spot as an UD mage. MY advice is to wait for the pat to toward the entrance, and leave the first only if there's no patrol near the 2nd safe zone. And get the hang of the road to the safe spot while removing all gear which can be broken.

I am pretty sure, you have not activated the boss. You need to make sure that he spawns the 2-3 zombies, reset, and then start opening graves.

@Arlaeus are u playing on PVE or PVP server?

At the first reset spot the shadow casters are still able to hit me. I am male undead and also using /sit(/lay) macro level 40. not sure how to consistently get it yet but I'm grinding it out

[@imortal12]

I had this same issue. Was really pissing me off right away, but then I just realized that you just have to be careful to line up your character to use the boxes to break line of site with the shadow casters. Takes a little bit of practice to find the right spots, but after that I had no issues with them.
