Navigating the Blood Furnace (World of Warcraft Instance)
74
Getting to the Instance
Hey there! Taniana the Huntress and her loyal companion Herbert here! The Blood Furnace is one of three regular (non-raid) dungeons located in Hellfire Peninsula in the Outlands. The precursor to Blood Furnace is Hellfire Ramparts, but it doesn't really matter which order you decide to run them. Blood furnace is located in Hellfire Citadel. You will want to go around the citadel to the south/southwestern rampart and look for a flight of stairs leading upwards.
Go up the stairs and follow the path. It will take you right to the entrance of the Blood Furnace.
After slaughtering the first room full of bad guys, you will come to a staircase. Be careful going up these stairs because rogues are often hiding in the shadows, If you have a hunter with you, perhaps put on "track hidden." At the top of the stairs you'll come to a room with several clusters of scourge. I recommend picking them off from right to left.
After clearing the room, follow the path towards the left. You're going to come to another room of casters. Show no mercy. Make sure to slaughter them all!
First Boss
You'll next come to another room full of mobs with The Maker (a boss) at the back. He drops a pally relic, plate hands, a necklace, a mail belt or a one-handed mace. On my run he dropped the paladin relic.
After defeating The Maker the doorway behind him will open. A long hall filled with scourge awaits you. Be careful, because some of the fel orcs set land mines before they die and those things can do significant damage if stepped on! Kill everything in this hallway.
Next you will come to an antechamber filled with fel orcs. Everything in this chamber must die. After clearing the room, take a minute to catch your breath and gather your loot. Once the handle in the middle of the room is pulled, four mobs will attack your party from differing areas of the room, one at a time.
Second Boss
After being attacked by the mobs the gates in the back of the room will open and Broggok will attack you. He radiates poison outwards, so be careful if you're in close range. The poison also persists once he dies, so just don't stand in the green stuff. He drops either a gun, a trinket, cloth bracers, cloth gloves or leather legs. On my run he dropped the leather legs.
Keep following the path, killing everything on the way, and after the room with all the hammocks you will come to a ramp leading down.
Final Boss
Follow the ramp down and kill the warlocks and orcs that wait for you at the bottom. The last boss will be to your immediate left after you've come down the ramp. He has several minions surrounding him, apparently giving him power of some sort. Keli'dan the Breaker won't be targetable until all of his minions are killed, so take them out first. He normally drops either a cloth chest, a leather chest, cloth waist, leather shoulders or a two-handed ax. On my run he dropped the cloth chest.
In addition to the gear mentioned, the run also produced 92 netherweave cloth and ten green items.

That was always a long instance, compared to Ramparts
