Tempest Keep: The Eye - Mistweaver Style!

Lately I've been on this kick to do old raids and dungeons for mounts and pets, so I decided to put together a little guide on how I solo them as a Mistweaver. I'm starting with The Eye and will do my best to add a raid every week.

Tempest Keep: The Eye


The Eye can be found in Outland in the Netherstorm region.

The trash in this place is not bad and can be easily AoEd down.


The first boss is Al'ar. He's fairly simple to kill just pull him from the top balcony and move along as he does until u get his health down to 0. He will then re-spawn in the center of the room you'll just DPS him down again.


If you get lucky he'll drop a Brilliant Phoenix Hawk Feather and if you already have the pet, simply cage it and sell it in the AH, they go for over 1k on my server. Here's Moya with her Phoenix Hawk Hatchling.


Now it's off to visit Void Reaver. Be sure to clear the trash in the room or they will pull when you agro the boss.


I hate this guy on my casters >.< As a Monk though we are fortunate enough to be able to melee him down with no problem :)


Getting silenced here is a little annoying but since we get healed as we DPS the damage we take is never really an issue.


He drops a Tiny Fel Engine Key. Which is a really cute mini pet version of himself :) Here is Moya with her Pocket Reaver. Again, if you already have it and want some extra gold you can sell this one too.


Next is High Astromancer Solarian. Here you def want to clear trash, or at least kill the two Nether Scryers walking around the room. They Mind Control and if you pull the boss you'll just get MCed and keep resetting the trash and boss.


She's very simple and if you can avoid getting tossed in the air even better!


It's not easy getting good screenshots while you're getting tossed in the air!


She drops Crystal of the Void, which gives you a cute Lesser Voidwalker. This one seems to be more popular and goes for about 3k in the AH on my server.


And finally we get to Kael'thas Sunstrider. This one takes a little coordination to do, but still simple enough for us Monks thanks to Touch of Death.


Start by killing the first 2 members of his council, Thaladred the Darkener and Lord Sanguinar in the back of the room behind Kael.


Then run to the front of the room and kill Grand Astromancer Capernian.


Then run all the way back and finish off Master Engineer Telonicus where you killed the other two. Then AoE the weapons down.


When you're done there you'll have a good bit of time to recover and run to the front of the room where Grand Astromancer Capernian will rez. Take the time to regen enough Chi to do a Touch of Death, because as soon as she pops up you'll need to use it on her otherwise you might be in a bit of a mess if they other guys catch up to you while she's still up! If you feel more comfortable getting a weapon then grab the Staff of Disintegration and you wont have to worry about his council. You could also do Kael before the Void Reaver and use the weapon on his, especially if you're a caster.


Then it's just a matter of DPSing Kael'thas and you're all done. 


If you're lucky you'll get the coveted Ashes of Al'ar mount! I haven't been fortunately enough to get it yet, but I will keep trying.

At this point I usually send all my Netherweave cloth over to my tailor to make Netherweave Bags which sell very well on the AH. I send the greens to my enchanter for disenchanting and sell the mats on the AH as well. All the epics I sell for money unless there is something I want to keep for future transmogs. You can make about 300g just from the run itself which only takes about 30-45 minutes, not including all the possible items you can sell in the Auction House for profit.

Next I'll be heading to Karazhan to show you how to solo the Chess Event!
