Shadowfang Keep

What creators found, checked

From beta videos by bigger WoW creators. Each line sums up what the creator said at that moment of the video, and the badge says how it holds up against the game files.

• Matches the files A ring (a 'family seal') gives +2% movement speed only in Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine Forest and Shadowfang Keep, an example of zone-conditional item effects.

  The files Silverlaine's Family Seal 6321 (blue ring, req 21) equip Lord of Shadowfang Keep 1292121: 'Increases movement speed by 2% in Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine Forest, and Shadowfang Keep.'

• Matches the files The Mage research weapon from Shadowfang Keep (the Coldflame Saber) does not scale with spell power in Farmerfarms' testing, contrary to what datamining suggested. He hadn't tested it with Fingers of Frost/Shatter yet.

  The files Coldflame Saber 276631 (+7 Int, 1H sword): Frostburn 1300128 -> 1300130 deals a flat 98 Fire to Frozen targets, with EffectBonusCoefficient 0 and BonusCoefficientFromAP 0 (no spell-power scaling in client data).

• Partly A level 20 group fully cleared Shadowfang Keep (called one of the hardest dungeons at the level 20 cap) looking for the Blade of Silverlaine and found no hidden object or quest. The blade is a Baron Silverlaine loot-table drop.

  The files Blade of Silverlaine 273637 is a new rare 1H sword (ilvl 26, req 21, +6 Shadow Resistance). Mage spell 'Imbue Blade' 1302293 'Use on Blade of Silverlaine to create a powerful weapon'. Loot source is server-side.

• Partly Esfand ran Shadowfang Keep at the level-20 beta cap with four level-20s and a level 18, and expected Arugal to be about level 24-25. He calls SFK hard at this level and notes there is no threat meter.

  The files Shadowfang Keep is 20-30 in Group Finder 800 (Era 22-30). Vanilla Archmage Arugal is level 26 (QuestieDB baseline), so 24-25 is close. Difficulty and the lack of a threat meter are not checkable.

• Partly Arugal (Shadowfang Keep) teleports, and each teleport drops threat (aggro reset), so the group must stop DPS when he teleports. Use line of sight around corners to dodge his Void Bolt. Esfand calls it one of the most fun low-level boss fights.

  The files Arugal's vanilla kit is in the client: Shadow Port 7586/7136 (teleport) and Void Bolt 7588 (255-295 Shadow). The threat reset on teleport is server behaviour.

• Partly The Blade of Silverlaine (base item for the Coldflame Saber) is a rare drop from Baron Silverlaine in Shadowfang Keep. Farmerfarms needed 12 resets to get it, and a friend (Shine's Lights) was the first known to obtain it.

  The files Blade of Silverlaine 273637: blue one-hand sword, ilvl 26, 27-50 @2.3, +6 Shadow Res. Scroll of the Saber 277490 -> Imbue Blade 1302293: 'Use on Blade of Silverlaine to create a powerful weapon', which makes it the Coldflame Saber base. Drop rate, the 12 resets and the first-to-obtain story aren't checkable.

• Partly Shadowfang Keep loot seen in the beta: Blade of Silverlaine is a sword with +28 spell damage requiring level 21, and Robes of Arugal give +18 healing.

  The files Blade of Silverlaine 273637: req 21 confirmed (sword, 2.3 speed). Its stat slots only hold +6 Shadow Resistance, so the +28 spell damage can't be read: caster-weapon spell power is not encoded in the item's stat slots (ItemSparse / hotfix-cache StatModifier columns), so it can't be read from client data. Robes of Arugal 6324: +18 Healing confirmed (+6 SD, +6 Spi, +5 Sta, +8 Shadow Res).

• Not in the files In Shadowfang Keep at level 20, Esfand received three blue shoulders from one quest that only required talking to an NPC. He suspects a bug.

  The files Quest reward behaviour is server-side.
