Siren Isle, a newly introduced zone in World of Warcraft: The War Within patch 11.0.7, invites players to engage in a myriad of captivating activities and earn exciting rewards. To access this enchanting island, adventurers must initiate their journey by conversing with Dawn, located in the Foundation Hall of Dornogal, to embark on the essential introductory questline.
Among the diverse activities available in Siren Isle, the Major Excavation event stands out. This event becomes active once players have completed the introductory quests associated with Siren Isle. Below is an informative overview regarding the Major Excavation event and guidance on how to participate in it.
Understanding Major Excavation Events
Siren Isle hosts three distinct Major Excavation events, each spearheaded by one of the expedition leaders: Dawn, Elaena Lancekat, and Skaggit. To check the current status of these excavations, players can consult their map or visit the Siren Isle Command Map table situated at Flotsam Shoal (coordinates 69 / 43), where the leaders await.
By engaging with the Command Map, players can monitor the ongoing activities of the Major Excavations known as Shuddering Hollow, The Drain, and The Drowned Lair. To kick off an excavation event, players are required to contribute 5 Flame-Blessed Iron per contribution, with a cumulative total of 150 Flame-Blessed Iron needed to completely activate each Major Excavation. It’s important to note that these contributions can come from any player in Siren Isle, allowing for a collaborative experience without individual requirements for participation.
Steps to Successfully Complete a Major Excavation
Once a Major Excavation is activated, NPCs will be dispatched to the corresponding excavation site, marked on the map, to commence the process of clearing the entryway into the cave. This operation takes approximately 3 minutes, providing ample time for players to arrive at the location. After the entrance has been successfully opened, players must navigate inside and defeat the Rare Elite boss located within to fully complete the event and claim their rewards.
Importantly, players are required to tag the boss in order to obtain credit for the event and the subsequent rewards. Each Major Excavation presents a unique Rare Elite enemy:
- Shuddering Hollow: Stalagnarok
- The Drain: Gravesludge
- The Drowned Lair: Nerathor
Upon vanquishing the Rare Elite, players are rewarded with a Crate of Bygone Riches, which typically includes Flame-Blessed Iron and has a small chance of containing transmog items or pieces of Veteran track Warbound gear that are tradable to alternate characters. Additionally, players will receive select gems for Cyrce’s Circlet, a catch-up ring capable of being upgraded to item level 658, upon their first completion of the event.
After finishing a Major Excavation, players will encounter a cooldown period of 5 minutes before they can start contributing Flame-Blessed Iron again to reactivate that specific excavation. This structure not only fosters community collaboration but also serves as an excellent method for farming Flame-Blessed Iron, enabling players to purchase various transmog items and Warbound gear from the NPCs located at Flotsam Shoal.
