Thousand Needles

[KimmoKM]

Mobs

• Galak Messenger is just standing in the middle of a road
• Galak Stormer doesn't seem to have Lightning Cloud
• Galak Maulers and Flameguards don't seem to have Demoralizing Shout
• Grimtotem Tauren seem to be missing abilities, listing them from Bestiary: Stomper (Healing Ward, Earth Shock - most likely only used when player is casting, though), Geomancer (Flamestrike, Fireball, Slow), Bandit (Disarm, Kick), Reaver (Cleave, Strike), Arnak Grimtotem (Rend, Uppercut)
• Venomous cloud serpent doesn't have Deadly Poison
• I found Steelsnap's two followers in front of him, right on top of each other such that they looked like one mob, they also weren't linked (or they were too far to be pulled simultaneously with Steelsnap).
• Heartrazor should have Lethal Toxin, Highperch Patriarchs and Consorts don't seem to use their poison either (strange, as standard Highperch wyverns do, maybe it's just sample size thing).
• Screeching Roguefeather used her Exploit Weakness ability from the front (It had backstab icon so I checked bestiary, should only be usable from behind), Windcaller doesn't seem to have her stun (Gust of Wind) and my 104-137 melee attacks hit them below 30 (on non-glancing blows) so it seems as though their armour is something completely outrageous.
• Scalding Elementals don't seem to have their Scald ability and Boiling Elementals don't seem to have their Steam Jet ability.
• Scorpid Reaver and Scorpid Terror don't seem to use their poison (they use their other abilities)
• Salt Flat Vultures and Scavengers don't seem to use their execute ability
• Silithid Invaders pretty much spam their disease ability. In addition, there only seems to be one of them. This is because they, inside the cave, share a spawn point with the Hive Drones (According to Wowhead comment).
• Not something you'd notice in real game unless you for whatever reason came to a specific point at RFD pre-instance, but there are Kolkar Centaurs at the mountaintops

Quests

• Cloven Hoof for "The Sacred Flame" drops from centaurs.
• Panther Key given in quest Hypercapasitor Gizmo doesn't go to the keyring (related to #1511). In addition, as you open the cage, the panther doesn't come out. The quest isn't completable.
• You can loot all Grimtotem Secret Notes (in quest Grimtotem Spying) from one chest if you wait for it to respawn. Since Wowhead comments about note locations seem to be consistent, this probably shouldn't be the case (it doesn't make sense either).
• In "Free at Last" the escort actually moves faster than the player can run. In addition, same as other vanilla escort quests, if you aggro mobs in front of her, she just keeps going instead of assisting you.
• Test of Endurance is a solo quest (was group quest before 2.3). I believe the difference was having 3 waves of mobs (Grenka alone in the final one), in post-2.3 version she comes alone in the first wave. Currently there's waves of individual mobs so it's not correct on either count.
• Same as other Escorts, in "Homeward Bound" the escort NPC doesn't stop to help if you get in combat.
• Using Robotron Control Unit doesn't do anything (aside from giving you an interruptable 15min cast). "A Dip in Moonwell" is uncompletable.
• Rok'alim the Pounder is stationary. In addition, before 2.3 he was elite.
• Young Arikara should appear upon completing Alien Egg.
• Arikara was en elite quest as well prior to 2.3. In addition, currently it spawns away from the pyre and is neutral, as you can see in Joana guide, Arikara is summoned (accompanied by a puff of smoke) at the pyre and attacks you instantly. You can also see some debuff being placed on the pet, I don't know what it is.
• Cracked Silithid Carapace should be a guaranteed or pretty much guaranteed drop.
• The quest takes place in STV but since the quest category is Thousand Needles, I think it's convenient to list it here: You can get Encrusted Tail Fins from Murkgill murlocs on the land. For whatever reason datamining suggests they would, but the quest specifically talks about Vile Reef and there would be lots of Wowhead comments saying that you don't need underwater combat to get the tail fins if you didn't. Indeed, there's a comment that specifically says land murlocs don't have drops. In addition, the quest isn't marked elite (it was elite pre-2.3).
• In quest "Keeping Pace", you are supposed to talk to a goblin Zamek (ie. do a repeatable quest) to get a distraction to steal the plans. Currently, Zamek suddenly disappears and then runs back. The first time I did the quest, it also did nothing in regards to plans. On the second time it spawned "Rizzle's Unguarded Plans", right next to Rizzle Brassbolts (while Guarded Plans are still there and say "Greetings "). The unguarded plans didn't despawn either as I picked them up and they also say "Greetings " upon completing the quest. This clearly isn't how the quest is supposed to work visually. Unfortunately I didn't find a video after a quick search, but luckily there's a relatively comprehensive comment in Wowhead that tells roughly how the RP event should work.
• It technically takes place in Stonetalon Mountains but the quest category is 1kN so I'm pointing it out here: if you answer incorrectly to Braug Dimspirit's question during Test of Lore, he should say "That is the wrong answer, .Be off with you." while teleporting you. In addition, as seen in this video, he should /clap when you hand in the quest.
• The follow-up in which you have to answer Parqual Fillintas' question is outright broken as, when talking to him, he doesn't offer any question and you don't have any options. You can see the correct behaviour in the previous video, including failure.
• Get the Gnomes/Goblins drunk quests don't have any RP effects. Unfortunately I can't find any details about what it should look like either.

World

• There's a lot of untargettable wyverns staying still on the ground at Highperch, they should be flying around the nests on top of the peaks (you can see a few in this picture.
• This probably is related to my abuse of GM commands and flying around rather than something can happen in real play scenario, but I suddenly found myself teleported to Dorn Plainstrider (Test of Lore quest chain giver) when moving around in Thousand Needles.
• Rocket races don't seem to be taking place.

"This probably is related to my abuse of GM commands and flying around rather than something can happen in real play scenario, but I suddenly found myself teleported to Dorn Plainstrider (Test of Lore quest chain giver) when moving around in Thousand Needles." Yes, this can happen because you probably flew throught the trigger of Test of Faith (http://db.vanillagaming.org/?quest=1149) quest.
