Un'Goro Crater

For lore, or modern information about this topic, visit this article on WoWWiki (click here).

Between Tanaris and Silithus at the southern end of Kalimdor is Un'Goro Crater. Although the site of a meteor impact, the region is filled with tropical plant life and some even more tropical creatures. Ranging from peaceful earth elementals to raging devilsaurs, the locals are not to be trifled with.

The pylons and stone giants which walk around the crater have no explanation, and when clicked upon, the pylons indicate they were placed for unknown reasons. They could mark where the titans might re-appear, as there is information about the titans making a second visit to Azeroth available from Uldaman.

History[]

From Geologist Larksbane in Silithus:

...The night elf army was pushed back through Un'Goro Crater, to the borders of the Tanaris desert. Something in Un'Goro prevented the Qiraji from being able to take the land. I do not quite understand this word but I believe it to mean 'God Lands'. It is stated that they could not 'take the God Lands'.

Fascinating, this coincides with theories of Un'Goro being the home of the Titans when they inhabited Kalimdor. Perhaps Aman'Thul himself watched over 'The God Lands'. Hrm, curious...

Resources[]

Un'goro Crater is a region largely untouched by the advances of modern society, and as such boasts a large variety of natural minerals, plants, soil, and crystals.

Miners will find thorium ore located throughout the crater, particularly around the walls and Fire Plume Ridge, in the middle of the crater, with Rich Thorium Veins in the southwest part, as well as some dispersed Mithril Deposits.

Herbalists will find a variety of herbs growing throughout the crater. Blindweed is commonly found near the northern tar pits. Sungrass and, more commonly, dreamfoil are available on grassy areas. Liferoot is found by the water. Firebloom and Mountain Silversage grow on the hot rocks of Fire Plume Ridge.

For Skinners, Un'goro is the only source of Devilsaur Leather and the the leatherworking patterns that use it. You will not, however, find any cloth; Un'goro is the only major zone with no humanoid mobs to fight.

Soil may be found in numerous piles around the crater. Harvesting this is available regardless of profession, and usually nets 1-4 Un'goro soil samples. This is used together with Tharlendris seeds and an Evergreen Pouch to produce Morrowgrain, used in repeatable reputation quests for Thunder Bluff/Cenarion Circle and Darnassus/Cenarion Circle, depending on your faction. It can be sold to vendors for 1s 46c.

Also available are the power crystals: blue, red, green and yellow. These can be used with the power pylons in exchange for temporary buffs. These are accessed after completing a quest for J. D. Collie, a gnome located at the back of the crystal cave in Marshal's Refuge, who gives a manual instructing which crystals are used with what pylon. They are also used in limited quantities with some blacksmithing recipes as well as a few Arcanum quests. They cannot be sold to vendors but can be auctioned or traded.

Crystals and pylons[]

In Un'goro there are 3 Pylons: a Northern

^{[56, 12]}

, Western

^{[23, 59]}

, and Eastern

^{[77, 50]}

Pylon. Scattered throughout Un'goro are crystals colored either red, yellow, blue, or green. The crystals can used on Pylons provided you have the right combination of crystals. Each pylon requires 2x10 crystals (10 of 2 different colors). Below is a detailed list of those powers.

The pylons require all three quests given from J.D. Collie at Marshal's Refuge to be complete before they will accept your crystals.

Crystal Force	Increases the target's Spirit by 30 for 30 min.	Eastern	Blue+Green	6
