Hellfire Ramparts (Level 60-62)

[Muridin]

Hellfire Ramparts (Level 60-62): Hellfire Citadel is accessible right upon arrival into the Outland. The Hellfire Ramparts is geared for the level 60 wearing "casual gear" and the rewards within are on par with stuff you would find in the old 40-man instances.

There are three bosses within the Ramparts. The first is Watchkeeper Gargolmar who patrols the second corridor in the instance with two healers. He drops a few different blue items, two of which actually have sockets for the new jewelcrafting profession. He is definitely the easiest boss in the entire Outland, but a great starting point for new level 60's looking for an instance to tackle.

At this time, flying mounts are currently not accessible in beta, but that hasn't stopped the second boss, Vazruden the Herald, from getting one. Vazruden is found within the upper level of the Ramparts flying around on his Nether Drake named Nazan. He also has two Shattered Hand Scouts that do his dirty work for him. Kill his Scouts, then Vazruden will come down to face you himself. The general idea is slightly similar to how the Rend encounter works in Upper Blackrock Spire. His defeat will yield an Ominous Letter, as well as some blue items, that set you off on a quest into the Blood Furnace.

The final boss in the Hellfire Ramparts is Omor the Unscarred. For someone unscarred, he sure is ugly! Despite a face you loath to set eyes on and a stomach that is literally another face, Omor is a pretty simple fight. Experienced groups will have gotten this far in less than an hour, and it should be clear that this dungeon is meant to be the easiest. Both of Omar's guards can be pulled before the fight, but Omor does summon felhounds to target the precious healers. The only catch is that he starts to reflect spells at 20%, so be careful!
