Rhok'Delar and Lok'Delar - Wow Items Lost to History

[@HayvenGames]

Hey everyone! Some time has passed since I made my last update video, and I want to thank you so much for all the support you have given me after that. While I am still far from recovered, I am feeling so much better now, it is going in the right direction. Between all hospital visits and everything else, I have manage to finally finish up a video I wanted to give you weeks ago. This is probably far from my best work, as I've been forced to create it so sporadically and with much less energy than usual. I am not recovered enough to start posting weekly content again, but I love creating these videos for you so much they will come as often as I can put them out :) Please enjoy this video about Rhok'Delar and Lok'Delar, (again) despite its probably not my best work. And above all, thank you everyone for your support during this period!

[@shoobror8291]

Happy to hear that m8! I pray for you everyday :)

[@alternative_jesus828]

Any content from you is great I hope you get better Love your channel and you :D

[@AlexanderForsman]

If you check marksman artifact skins on wowhead, you'll see the next skin very much taken inspiration from Rhok'delar. www.wowhead.com/artifact-calc/hunter/marksmanship/AraTI3A

[@mentosgott]

Glad to hear that you are getting better

[@josejuanandrade4439]

I'm glad you feeling better Hayven!

[@MarkReplier]

Re-watching all of these now that WoW classic is out. RIP Hayven, wish you could have been here to play

[@bakihanma72]

What happens to this good guy ?...

[@MarkReplier]

Passed away from cancer

[@jopa3846]

=(

[@gscgold]

I hope these videos stay on youtube for as long as youtube is a thing. R.I.P Hayven

[@josejuanandrade4439]

Ancient 1: And here is your epic staff, to go with your new shinny bow! Hunter: But is broken... Ancient 2: Bring me the ancient duct tape ! Hunter: Thank you! This is truly... the staff of legends!

[@TonyNumber9]

hey I want to use gun not metal bow cover I green shit from swamps of sarrow

[@adri84]

Your work is truly unparalleled. Dedication you put into creating videos is absolutely fantastic. I follow you for years now, and I always think that this deserves more visibility channel, because you're really a professional.

[@xavariusquest4603]

Adri84 Well said.

[@GmoneyMozart]

This is the Magic that blizzard has lost and the game no longer provides. Awesome stuff man. I hope you're doing well!

[@Tandarina]

Gmoney Mozart look at the brinht side! Not many people will waste their time with stuff like this. Yeah, if you enjoy it, it's not wasted but now you'd have more time for other stuff :3

[@petrinafilip96]

Game has been "standardized" for the sake of smoothness/playability and balance, but that kinda killed the "feel" of it.

[@daveice20]

+filip petrina honestly, I don't think it was standardized as WoW was&is the "standard." In my own perspective, I feel that as they made everything more accessible they also took away the fun; now-a-days you can get everything in the game you want with little to no challenge, I still remember grinding non-stop for months to be the first Grand Marshal on my server (vek'nilash) during vanilla.. nothing like that anymore, no challenge or unique feels to be found

[@kolozubix99]

@Frost Angel what do you mean by "waste"??? Stuff like this makes the game unique and interesting. WoW changed from fun game for truly dedicated players to mindless grinding for everyone... and that is sad.

[@Tandarina]

kolozubix99 I guesss ur right... It's just this was addicting while grinding is meh. Everyone would like to do those vanilla quests that have challenge, but it'll take you A LOT. While grinding is like meh and not many ppl focus on it as intensly. For me, I ofc would like stuff like this, but I also have school etc. and many people as well; but you don't know the bounderues here

[@Omnipotentous]

A new Hayven video? I hope this is a sign of good health. Take your time with recovery, any real fan of your's would understand. Cheers, mate.

[@frydsaman6857]

oh dude...

[@GreenHoodier]

:( :( :( :(

[@Omnipotentous]

I just heard the news, I prayed it wouldn't end like this. But I hope he passed painlessly. I'll always remember and miss Hayven, just as I will miss all of you in our small community. Thank you, everyone, for everything. Rest in peace, Hayven, you'll always be in our hearts.

[@WakoDoodle]

Every time I see a new video here, I feel like a lvl 1 undead; walking up to a legendary hero and sitting down to hear the tales of warcraft days. Even from vanilla there's much to learn and every time there's something exciting or new. @Hayven Games , you are awesome!

[@Bargadiel]

Well, I found your channel today and also learned you are no longer with us. I really appreciated the time and dedication you did to this series, and wish you could have done more. At any rate, thank you for all that you've given to this community. Rest in piece my man.

[@Rozziezo]

Atleast his memory will remain until the end of youtube. Hope that day never comes so i can always come back and watch his content.

[@josefvalenta4341]

5:38 AHA! that explains it! when I was leveling warlock in wrath of the lich king I had the "sence demons" active and it was showing her on the map. I was just calmly leveling and then I noticed it and froze on place, I was just staring at her and wondering if something will happen if I get too close :D for such a little kiddo I was it was a fucking horror man :DDD

[@decasin271]

My favorite video from hayven ever, r.i.p hayven

[@gheorghievstefan21]

Glad to see you again!Thanks for your work and dedication and I promise that I,and many others will always be with you.I am glad I can support someone as great as you.Once again,thank you!

[@felixlenz539]

Time to rewatch all of his videos, may he be in a better place and know we are thankful.

[@genultz4866]

RIP Hayven, may you find peace.

[@Geckokidthepaladin]

Thanks for showing us all these interesting stuff before my time, as a hunter main they look wonderful! and it's always nice to hear your voice again

[@yashizuko]

The mistery of the petrified leaf quest i think is something that was at the core of the old wow experience, and made your quest a travel trough azeroth!

[@astrobot702]

RIP Hayven... Truly, these videos are invaluable memories May your toon find his rightful place among the Paragons. /salute from this BE Prot Pally, my friend.

[@ThedailydruidBlogspot1985]

You will be missed Hayven. I found out about your death and even I didn't know you in person, I feel extremely sad. The fact that you were only 26 and the bravery you fought with cancer, touched deeply. Rest in Peace

[@infernis2005]

Hey Haven, I'm glad you're back! Hope you will have a swift recovery!

[@SquidRider]

Man, this was in my recommended video list, thought it was a new upload. :( then I saw the channel. R.I.P.

[@cyborg-mark-vi]

This just makes me want to experience these challenges on Nostalrius. Amazing video as always Hayven. Take care of your health! :)

[@coza10]

Probably my number 1 moment in 12 years of playing WoW.

[@peter486]

RIP where ever you are Hayven, Vila i frid broder. vi ses i nästa realm

[@fizzplease6742]

Oh yess! I was so happy to see this video posted. And about the two weapons that confounded my huntard ass when they were relevant. I eventually got em after TBC made me overpowered for the quest. I'm glad I have them, even if I had to cheese it. I just realized I still have my sinew-wrapped lamina in my bag still. I can't bring myself to throw it (or the staff and bow) away.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Highest quality as always! You should be payed by Blizzard, you have the best WoW channel on KZbin

[@kimaclaret]

Glad you are feeling better, and happy to see a new video!

[@Latsaaben]

This quest made huntards into hunters. Best regards, a vanilla raiding hunter.

[@TonyNumber9]

today not all hunters are huntards to be honest, most times a mage or rogue pull trash without tank wipe the group and would blame me and kicked me out of instance for no reason or at least attempt to, assholes are just everywhere

[@WonkoTheSane0147]

Amazing material, as always. Hope you are feeling better and you will recover fully asap. Love every single of your videos. Keep it up but dont make it hard on yourself. Health is more important than anything!

[@MegaChickenfish]

I love how the stave of the ancient keepers is literally just 3 sticks duct taped together.

[@maxmustermann1455]

Should have a hidden ability of being cheaper (almost free) to repair. As when it's broken, just reapply duct tape.

[@Tarizma]

Whenever i watch this channel, i get this crazy vibe lol the content seems so well put together and fits well with the music.. these are the unsung heroes of youtube

[@AustinHellersionnix]

Glad to see another video from you. And as always, excellent content!

[@permeus2nd]

i really miss questlines like this and the items they gave (but mostly the quests)

[@spearmint0sugerfree]

Good too see you back, really hope that the treatments are going wonderful, take care buddy

[@Jeststar77]

Wow, this video has brought back some great memories of my hunter says in Vanilla. Thank you for making it.

[@dhaub7174]

Great video Hayven and I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better

[@MarkReplier]

Does anyone else rewatch old Hayven videos wishing that there was just one last video?

[@spider-queen]

I'm still kicking myself for not completing this on my hunter even though I got halfway through the quest chain. And then it was gone. Thank you for the fantastic overview, this was really nostalgic. :)

[@NormanFackoII]

Glad to see you back, I have missed your updates! :-)

[@Avemor93]

It is great to see you upload again. I hope you will get better faster :))

[@totoroFan]

I love the shot of your character behind the desk! :D And there are so many of these epic quests I had no idea existed, it's so great learning about them! I always wondered what the purpose of those ancients in Felwood was!

[@natem4850]

Missing your voice and your videos. You haven't missed much, Hayven. 2020 has been garbage.

[@luked777]

It's unreal you don't have more subs, easily the best wow content on youtube

[@ThMrksman]

Great vid! As someone trying to do that quest on Anathema right now, I can assure you that it's an insanely difficult challenge. Easily the hardest thing hunters ever have to do. Things like kiting Razorgore are laughably easy compared to this quest.

[@mcfarvo]

I was a highschooler wasting many hours on this game back in original vanilla WoW, yet I still remember these quests! Truly epic adventure back then!

[@Landes1024rs]

Great video! These items lost to history videos are my favorite.

[@remirra5523]

Well made video like always ! Glad that you're feeling better! :DWish you all the best.

[@alexandergonzalezevans2686]

That was actually told in such a cool way :D Really enjoyed listening!

[@bb3xhrhj]

Glad to see you're still up and kickin

[@hellohaveaniceday4487]

Well.... Shit

[@pirate1197]

Amazing video. I enjoy them so much. I hope your recovery is going well!

[@1Kapuchu100]

This was really interesting to see. If there are any more weapons like Rhok'delar and Benediction, etc, please cover them. I had no idea there was anything like this!

[@Blank3ts]

I love these kinds of videos, I'm not too familiar with Vanilla as I played only when I was really young, but you should really do more videos like this! I hope that there are items like these for Rogues (back then) that you could make videos about lol.

[@JackieRanger49]

I love your videos, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.

[@BrokenKarma43]

I love these videos man, please keep making them. Takes me back to when i was a little kid xD

[@surebud1765]

Your videos are awesome and really bring back memories. all the best man and looking forward to more videos!

[@차영-u5v]

its nice to see U again :D THX for new wonderful video!!

[@HayvenGames]

its nice to be back :) glad you liked it! ^^

[@josephpettinato9968]

Great video as always Hayven hope you're on the mend! Also I would just like to say these videos show me exactly the type of game design that is missing from modern WoW.

[@kosio0808]

Watching your videos really improves my point that wow is way more than it looks. So sorry that i never played it back then. And PS just found your channel and subscribed and found out that the creator has passed away. Rest in Peace you should be proud of your content.

[@ivankrasimirov9334]

Great work! I really liked the how it really looks videos, but this is just as good. Keep it up!

[@MIXETTEX]

Always happy to see a new video from you

[@NoahWeisbrod]

That Paladin artwork makes me want an HD remake of the Judgement set even more.

[@HardyRuels]

Great video! and nice to have you back with a nice video!

[@50jem]

Hands down, the BEST content of World of Warcraft in KZbin.

[@RVZER]

love the content man. really unique and well put together.

[@DonHabano]

You are the best gaming youtuber !!! Thanks , love to see your videos mate

[@nolikita]

Always love your videos and watch them as soon as they come out, take your time for whenever the next one will be :)

[@ashb712]

The most nostalgic thing about this video for me is the teldrassil music. My very first character in late 'nilla was a Night Elf Druid that I still play today :).

[@gurraglad]

Thanks for another great video hayven. Keep fighting.

[@murduinmonk6449]

Yay new Hayven video!

[@ztClown]

Hi Hayven, thanks for the great videos in Items lost to history. One small correction. When fighting the demons you say that pets were not allowed, and this is true expect for simone in Un'goro, who also used a per for her own and therefore the hunter was also allowed to use his own.

[@novack7635]

you awesome once again Hayven.deamn that nostalgia about old days...

[@BollsNGaming]

Glad to hear that it's going in the right direction. Great videos as allway. :)

[@deathmissilemachinima9707]

Hope youre better now hayven we all love you and hope you will be better soon

[@DSuddaby]

Thanks for this. I got the bow and indeed - it was very, very hard. Finding a raid for Azuregos was hard.

[@gamingscientist7445]

I love your videos. You are an amazing content creator. Thank you for what you do

[@jord262]

Great video I expect, get well soon!

[@JordanWilson2209]

Your in my thoughts :) great video x

[@baseballjohn]

good to see your feeling better hayven

[@HighDog]

Rest in Peace brother. I know you're still out there.

[@ElieZ]

Hayven would have enjoyed Classic in 2020 a lot.

[@fury-ninja2539]

Love you Hayven... so glad you rock the old world.... GET WELL SOON

[@luddsen8314]

First of all: I hope you're feeling better! You are one of my favorite KZbinrs and it really pains me to know that you have cancer! Second of all: 2:24 Weren't they petrified during the Third War? I mean that's when the Legion corrupted Felwood!

[@HayvenGames]

Thank you! I am still not well but compared to when I made my last update video I have recovered immensely. And the articles I read during my research all stated that they were destroyed during the war off the ancients, and Vartus even quotes "We are Ancients: Protectors of this once great forest. Our physical forms were destroyed 10,000 years ago". Whether or not this is a gap in Blizzard's lore or not I don't know but I went with the info I found during research.

[@luddsen8314]

Ahh! Thank you for the info! And It's nice to hear that you are feeling a bit better at least!

[@noahmellemstrand4756]

Could you do more of these lore vids on the weapons? I love them. Keep getting better man. Love the vids and live on :D

[@puka_tsv]

Another awesome video. Thank you from Australia

[@Jesus-warrior]

dj puka you know he is gone right?

[@TaldrenMGMoonGuard]

You are amazing, Hayven!

[@MangaManifaction]

Noice. These videos are probably my favorites among your channel

[@Spacemen619]

You have awesome voice for videos like this :o really gj man :)

[@boysiebe]

Stay strong dude, you're the best!

[@mudshrooze]

Hayven i am so glad you are doing okay. i was beggining to worry a bit

[@q2rlz]

This brings back memories, times when WoW was an adventure.

[@robbys67rs]

RIP Rhok'Delar! This class quest was my favorite part of vanilla WoW.

[@TheHorreK2]

This is how the Artifact Weapon-Quests should have been

[@Cipher8721]

im so proud to have experience this myself and actually got it and it really was hard! no joke the farming NE hunter Cipher - Kel'Thezad

[@NoUploadsEver]

A few things missed by this video. Originally the mature black dragon sinew was Onyxia only, then they added nefarian, then they added the option for it to come from world black dragons. Rhok'delar has received more than 1 art update over the years. AT some point it gained an animation where flowers and mushrooms will spout on it. It also gained a magical sort of vine affect when shooting arrows much later. Lhok'delar was likely a placeholder model that was never updated to be what was envisioned by the artists (A staff that transformed into a bow.) However, the is another staff in the game for druids that was likely going to be what lok'delar was intended to look like. (staff of the green circle uses the model and that model reuses assets from rhok'delar.)

[@Ashzulla]

Much Love Man, you'll be missed :( (Abraxa)

[@SnookOutBelow727]

literally looking forward to doing this quest again. did it back in retail vanilla i did have a hunter on elysium but didnt get the leaf drop before i quit

[@Murgins]

I love these lost item videos

[@SweetKiguBro]

Fellow Hunters! Warriors of the Ancient Keepers! Hold your bows high in the honor of this fallen Lore Keeper!

[@Asrudin]

I have done this quest back in classis and to date it is one of my most favorite memories of my gaming experience EVER. I also sold the demonkills (especially silithus one as hunters had trouble with that one) to other hunters for gold and got my epic mount doing so. :D If only WoW would've continued making quests and content at that level, I would've been playing WoW still.

[@Asrudin]

PS, I am pretty sure mature black dragon sinew wasn't a 100% droprate. I was on the quest for 5 kills or so iirc and only got it on the fifth.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

I was so close to getting the weapon but since I started playing the game 1/2 into LK. I didnt know about the Hunter quest till close to the end. I also like the fact that the quiver one of the few bags that can be seen on the players
