WoW Classic Deadmines Guide(Quests, Location, Bosses, Rares, Loot)

[@CKSiLoYT]

I remember when I started playing vanilla, I was at secondary school, new to mmos, rolled a human mage. Took me a week to get into Westfall. Used to spend all day thinking about what kind of talent point I'd get next, what kind of mage I wanted to be. My friend comes up to me in biology one day and tells me about this dungeon he heard about, the Deadmines. Even the entrance was guarded by high level mobs he said. He heard you could go inside and fight enemies far stronger than what you were used to, so strong you needed multiple people. He heard that you could get loot several times stronger than what you could find in the world. He said he wanted to go explore them and asked me if I wanted to come with him. Practically ran home from school that day filled with excitement. It was all I could dream of and more when I first saw that gorgeous red staff on the loot tables. I'll never forget that magic

[@RaawHax]

Me and my friend on horde side had also heard of the Deadmines, so we spent like two hours trudging through Stranglethorn Vale around lvl 19, dying over and over, till we finally reached the Deadmines, except we were only two, and all our equipment was broken xD

[@Hubens1]

Thats nostalgic!

[@madseasonshow]

In the spirit of my beginner guides for the game, I plan on covering every single dungeon/raid in the game starting with the deadmines. I will be covering the locations, quests, bosses, rares, loot, etc. If you have any suggestions let me know! Location: 1:34 Quests: 2:39 Bosses & Loot: 4:30

[@FNCMontragor]

Noiiiice these are going to be some lit videos :>

[@lemon-2342]

Definite gonna need to know Ubrs and Lbrs please do one on those!!!

[@homoginizer]

DO NOT LIGHT ALL THE TORCHES IN BFD AT ONCE! 😂

[@xcepttionel]

Start with the lower lvl ones and work yourself up to lvl 60 dungeons and raids btw love your live streams.

[@pukk9445]

Cannot wait. This is how you keep the hype train rolling!

[@teamrip8872]

I’d love a little lore coverage on interesting things like who these bosses are and why they are even part of the dungeon. Always had fun finding out cookie was the ships “chef”

[@wardenm]

Still to this day one of my favorite dungeons and quest zones. Absolutely loved the lore and feel of the place, and back in vanilla it really cemented the idea of just how engaging and fleshed out the world ahead was that I had yet to explore.

[@SinbodWayne]

I just love how I can listen to your voice while playing WoW... It's so, calming

[@danielskrivan6921]

Can you imagine how he would do the 50 DKP minus video?

[@stedmanwheless5372]

Yeah. Usually monotone voices are very boring, but his voice is actually soothing instead. It's kind of odd now since I think about it.

[@danielskrivan6921]

@@stedmanwheless5372 Two reasons: 1) He is monotone, but not mono-rhythm. He still inflects, even if it's not with pitch. 2) Dat accent.

[@LG-ro5le]

He just sounds lifeless and depressed

[@mariuszopas3352]

I love that Chrono trigger bgm! Your selection of FF and other jrpg music isn't main reason why i love your channel. But definitely is nice addition;)

[@kyotheman69]

Chrono Trigger one the best SNES RPG's of all time, i think i loved it more then FF6 and I'm huge FF fan, probably this first and last time Square and Enix tagged team to make a game

[@BSwitchGTG]

Yes, my dude! This is precisely what I want in a new series!! My big thing this time around is to do all the content, which means all the quests. I know I missed out on so many dungeon quests first time through, so I've been working up a spreadsheet to make sure I don't miss any big points. I hope the AllTheThings addon guy makes a Classic version that basically does the same tracking, but so glad you're working on doing the same in video form. This is the kind of video I'll just binge over and over - bring it on!!

[@MrSnuggleLP]

That moment when you finish your Deadmines run and you and your party exit the dungeon on the other side where the beach is while the sun sets and the lighthouse lightens up the area...

[@RemixedVoice]

Bliss

[@curiousfishie]

That red bandana quest is from the lady on-top of the sentinel hill tower iirc. But I also know that if a player doesn't do the first questlines of killing, pillagers, looters, smugglers, trappers, highwaymen, knuckledusters, and path-uh-somethings, then the woman will not have the quest opened for you to take along to DM. Something a little extra to know :) happy VanCleaving!

[@zacharytaylor1655]

I wish your videos never end man, I could listen to you talk about wow forever.

[@andmyAlex]

Your production quality is excellent overall but the music always outshines the rest. Just the perfect tone and environment to be curious and interested about things.

[@Steamberg]

The level of quality is insanely high. Another 10/10! Really cool guide, and loved the way you included the quests (even class specific ones). Awesome§

[@nfletch57]

Thanks for the guide. I love your twitch streams, keep up the good work.

[@gairah4945]

Back in the early days of vanilla, the Deadmines was the first place where I heard the word "tank" and was generally curious what a "tank" is... so I asked in general chat. A few people actually answered, very nicely, and so I've been a tank ever since. I can't imagine someone getting a "nice" response these days, but man was that a beautiful time, before most people knew much about MMOs.

[@Erokuson64]

I love you choice of music from classic jrpgs! This proves to me that there are WoW players and experts who knows other games too and hearing this kind of music adds nice mash-up feel.

[@yvan7219]

I watch every guide, every video just to hear your voice, several times even. Its a pleasure to watch vídeos made with such care, keep up your amazing work Madseason

[@QuasiELVIS]

It's more of a travel guide than a technical guide, no one would ever watch this if all they wanted was to get through the dungeon but I'm watching it because I like your videos. Something to keep in mind.

[@CroneLife1]

You are the best game channel on KZbin, imo. You know your stuff and you present it with such chill. Love your channel.

[@jarekstorm6331]

I’ve been loving your streams and, of course, still excited every time I see a new video. You’re the kind of guy everyone wants as a friend when they play MMO’s.

[@feenauniverse]

I would love a sunken temple guide. It was my all-time fav and people will need the refresher course on how to do it. Been a very long time since I solved that puzzle

[@hinkhall1186]

Nice guide Madseason. It's the classic dungeon I know the least about, as I only ran deadmines with people making twinks on my 80 BE hunter in Wrath.

[@eubeculetz]

Hey, could you show a list of the important items at the end while you wrap it up? Like the wand/axe/shield. Main reason (itemwise) from dropss/quests to run it. I know you touched base on them. I am just saying show a list at the end as a recap? Ofc you do it for the quests :) But ofc another great video, always enjoy your content!

[@madseasonshow]

Could be a good idea - wouldn't hurt to have a recap during the outro. I'll think about it...thanks!

[@mfranks4731]

This will be a sick series cant wait!

[@TheContentVendor]

One of if not the greatest WoW content pumping channel atm. I love you

[@Risknz64]

Love the guide! All the music in the background of your videos are so calming with your voice

[@MoreIrrelevantTwaddle]

This is fantastic, love it! Would like to have a little more history/lore about the dungeon before, for example that Deadmines was the gold producing for Stormwind etc etc. Just a quick lore about how the dungeon was there. Also, such great background music, Chrono Trigger always makes me smile.

[@supersaiyanzero386]

You're in my top 3 favorite KZbinrs man. Thanks for all the nights of peaceful monotone voiced goodness to keep my brain happy, nostalgic!

[@jamesf6523]

Love the music inside the background! Great video

[@radagonsoreseal3457]

Your music selections are always top choice mate.

[@RichMaloy]

This is great! I've been looking for a series like this, glad that you're doing it! I'll watch them all.

[@Grimdawn95]

Love the use of the Chrono Trigger music! Awesome video!

[@gmmay70]

That into was fantastic! Top notch editing.

[@hathmurl8664]

Mad season taking over ! These vids are 🔥

[@rickcaron3914]

Your content is amazing. Thanks so much for the time, passion, and basically everything you do. One other bit of content I would love you to cover would be just lore videos. I think you would do an amazing job at it. Thanks again for everything.

[@TheUnexperiencedPros]

Madseason always comin in with those fire background tracks. I can’t think of anything better than vanilla wow hype + madseason + chrono trigger ost

[@JormaWassmer]

Very well done, as always. Liked the small lore part in the beginning. In particular I like the Picking Up Quest Guide.

[@TheDracarys]

Can't wait for the blackrock depths guide. Best dungeon in vanilla by a country mile.

[@Itama22]

Another 1 Hour Video xD

[@rivenoak]

oooh, will be a lenghty guide, because BRD is location of multiple questlines, not to mention most of Onyxia's Attunement for the aliance. this endeavour alone will last for hours :D and you have to die to get one quest on purpose, say hello to Franclorn Forgewright ;)

[@Fraps224]

@@rivenoak i never heard about this, you actually have to die to accept a quest?

[@Zendvious]

What about maraudon?

[@greatafricanhornedfrog2954]

@@Fraps224 yep, the quest giver is on the sarcophagus you walk past on the way back to the dungeon. Only appears as a ghost. He is located in the bit of rock suspended from chains in the middle of Blackrock Mountain.

[@16Rood]

just seeing those sweet blue drops got me even more hyped to play classic. can't wait!!

[@h.g.buddne4179]

You’re intro music does something with me I can’t explain

[@Molybdan42]

Same with the outro

[@jakelingo1095]

Loved the Format for this Video! You did such a great job covering everything there is to know. Would love to see more dungeon guides like this one!

[@kytch111]

I need MadSeason to join us on these dungeon runs and just talk as we do it! Will be the best time ever!

[@TomsWhip]

Great timing. Had literally just loaded up KZbin to look for some WoW content to entertain me :D Cheers

[@madseasonshow]

Enjoy Sigma!

[@MikrRice]

That intro was BEAUTIFUL! So excited to see the rest of the series.

[@Ayayron_e3]

seems like an interesting series starting here, madseason. Can't wait to view the others in the future!

[@AngryCheezburger303]

I was maybe 14 years old, had no fucking clue what was going on but this was my jam, played it so many times I can't even remember.

[@arostiaris]

omg yes ! best guy out there for wow ( classic ) ! we need this series of guides , not all of us played in classic. Keep up the good work !

[@admiralbattle]

This is the best intro to any video I have ever seen I love it its amazing

[@willf1175]

Brilliant idea for a series, brings back some great memories!

[@kakadellagoness]

Thanks for the video Mad, this series will be really helpfull for me to keep my hype calm for classic release, waiting for more of tour awesome content and miss you un stream btw, luv u

[@robm1390]

Blackfathom Deeps (BFD) is definitely a dungeon I've long forgotten the details/tricks of, and would like to do again early on when classic launches. Thanks for the great video & content!

[@baldie80]

Awesome guide, with all the relevant details. Seeing the loot and also where to pick up the quests will be especially helpful. Deadmines was the first dungeon I ever ran, so it hold some fond memories (like having my bracers break after running back so many times. Completing it felt like a real accomplishment, and I left with a ton of cloth and a couple of nice upgrades. Not to mention at least a level's worth of experience (quests included). Pro tip you could probably mention in every guide: "Don't forget to empty your bags as much as possible before doing a dungeon run." Everything is expensive in Classic and money is hard to come by. Being able to hang on to more grey items to sell once you're finished will make sure you can always pay to train those class skills!

[@bradleyhorecka5170]

Nice video. This video will be a great start for more dungeon guides for classic

[@forcinghandlesisdumb]

I'm really happy you're doing these. I've not found a good comprehensive set of dungeon guides on youtube, and coming back after a decade I definitely need them.

[@kymare]

Hey Mad, playing the game from april 2005....and i want to say that i really love your content! Great idea on the instance tutorials...keep it up!

[@_Snarky]

If you are gonna do Scarlet Monastery i hope you talk about how pvp often happened within that building, like both alliance n horde wanted to do SM and with there being 4 dungeons in the same place a lot of players gathered usually around the same time which sparked some battles..

[@torbendallas9618]

Super clear and thorough as always! Also, nice with the Shinra mansion music from FFVII setting the mood!

[@lister2147]

Wow! Nice editing, man! That intro was awesome!

[@BullocK1495]

Absolutely I'm interested in more episodes of this series! If I had to make one recommendation, perhaps add some info on the dungeon's development, if any. I understand that may require more research than its worth and many dungeons may not have any info on such a matter though. Never the less, I really enjoyed this first video and look forward to the next installment!

[@elliotlawver5011]

I LOVE the fact that you add some old school chrono trigger music into these vids.. I used to have a different chrono trigger song for different zones when I played TBC until blizzard messed it up for me :(

[@Lyfeel]

Ah! I remember making my way to this dungeon with my twink undead rogue and buddies back in Vanilla for pieces of the Defias set. Fun times!

[@madseasonshow]

Always thought undead with the bandana were awesome. Props!

[@rivenoak]

@@madseasonshow no rogue is complete without the bandana ! total useless headpiece (no stats !) but a stylish must-have :D

[@Ambreik]

Madseasonshow you do a great job with this. Is a good opportunity for me with this new series to learn more the classic wow. Hope to cover everything. Keep it up

[@qwopiretyu]

Thanks again for the great content. Hope you do more stuff like this. Maybe a hard to find quests by zone? Like item drop quests, wanted posters, etc

[@JD-ef1jb]

Love the new logo. Great guide. Can't wait for classic to drop. Your videos are filling that hole until it drops. :)

[@andrewleaman3280]

You’re videos are by far my favourite! Keep up the amazing content! One thing that could be cool to add to these videos would be fun facts about the dungeons. For example the Deadmines was actually inspired by the 1985 film The Goonies! That’s what makes Deadmines my favourite. It’s full of references all throughout the instance.

[@Heed2070]

Didn't see any mention of the parrot that has a chance to drop, but great video either way.

[@cavalryenjoyer]

Jesus fucking christ even with such a well made video, there are still crybabies like you complaining about it not being perfect. Now i see why WoW's community/playerbase are always unsatisfied

[@espowari]

Brings back lots of memories!! Keep em coming!

[@bofpayne1047]

Enjoyed. How about a screen at some point that has all the quest names for the dungeon listed with maybe where to get it so we can screen shot it and save for later. Huge fan keep going.

Solid idea, dungeon quests are something you really have to plan in advance of doing the dungeon, so it's going to make this video series vital for a new player. +1

Lower level dungeons are so frustrating, the boss will either drop an awesome blue, or the worst green item you've ever seen. Another awesome video mate, i love you

[@tnecniw]

Maybe also cover sets? For example Edvin drops a piece of the Darkened Defias set, so it would be neat to mention where you get the rest.

[@rivenoak]

all in the same dungeon. chest is Edwin, belt is Capt. Greenskin. gloves or leggins from taskmasters and overseers, boots from the stripminers. for style you may return to edwin to loot him for the cape of the brotherhood too, goes nice with the set.

I love this series! It's been so so long since I played Vanilla - thank you for doing this! It's really helpful to jog our memories! :) One thing I would suggest though - is that maybe when showing locations, I can see that you show with the mouse slowly - but I think it could be a good idea to also show with a "pin prick" as well? :)

[@klarkolofsson]

Very well done with the intro, setting the tone.

[@Umarluch]
