Sunwell, /kiss orfee Options

[kobs]

The swedish magazine Level published a special World of Warcraft magazine. In the latest issue they included an interview with Jeff Kaplan (Tigole) about the patch 2.4, and obviously the Sunwell instances.

Sunwell Isle

• Sunwell Isle will be located off the coast, north of Silvermoon, and will be patched in with patch 2.4
• Sunwell Isle will be a major questing hub with a 5-man Normal and Heroic Instance (Magister's Terrace) and a 25-man raid (Sunwell Plateau). The goal with Sunwell Isle is to close the Burning Crusade storyline before the release of the next expansion.
• There are still a few scenarios left that could be released to provide the players with more content if WotLK gets delayed for any reason.
• At the release of the patch, players will access a small expedition camp where they can start questing. However as the questing progresses, players will expand the camp and make it grow to a small town by retaking building to the enemies (running daily quests mostly). You can consider it as a AQ Gates opening event, the more daily quests that gets done, the faster the whole server will progress.
• The quests will end the Tempest Keep story arc.
• "The Shattered Sun Offensive" will be the new faction of this quest hub. It also seems that Aldor and Scryers will finally start fighting together against the new threat.
• Both 5-man and 25-man dungeons will be accessible from the start, but some bosses will have to be unlocked by running the daily quests (server-wide) and/or leveling your reputation. The 5-man instance will most likely requires Honored reputation with The Shattered Sun Offensive, the first three bosses of the 25-man instance will be accessible from the start, while the three last ones will have to be unlocked through questing.

Sunwell Plateau

• Kael'thas will be one of the boss of the 5-man dungeon, he's still alive and he's now got a huge green crystal etched to his chest.
• Kil'jaeden will be the final boss of the 25-man instance. The other bosses include Brutalicus, a giant Pit Lord who has lost his wings, Kalecgos, a blue dragon enslaved by Kil'jaeden, a Fel Dragon, the female Eredar Twins, and a Dark Naaru.
• The 25-man instance will be slightly harder than Black Temple, and is tuned for Tier 6 geared players.
• There will not be any "real" Tier 7 set, but some of the drops will be set pieces (not necessarily class specific). The drops quality will be above T6.

Daily quests

• Patch 2.4 will raise the cap of Daily quests allowed in a day from 10 to 25.
