Player Level intended is 63 iirc CJ 05:53, 20 Dec 2005 (EST)

A magazine article states "max-level", but it's unclear if they mean 60 or 70. As it is rumored that Karazhan will contain clues and items for opening the Dark Portal, it seems likely that they mean 60.

  At the official preview it says 10-man level 70 instance 

    "Forge a group of ten stalwart adventurers and journey to the wasted land between Duskwood and the Swamp of Sorrows  
     known as Deadwind Pass, where the mystical tower lies. Only the strongest need apply: only those who have achieved
     level 70 are skilled enough to face what lies within. " Sanderu 01 Feb 2006 (EST)

The article says the tower will have a Flight Path at its top...where did this information come from, and what would the point of such a FP be, anyway?

If you read the 3rd WoW Book The Last Guardian, Medivh had Gryphons on the top of his tower, so he could easily travel to Stormwind, etc. However, it's unknown if there will be a Horde flight path from perhaps the Undercity, or if it will just be Alliance only. The only purpose I see it for is for lore reasons, and perhaps to get to the instance quickly.

Also, the tower is going to be quite huge. A flight path at the top would allow players to go around the ascent. Remember that the tower has a mirror image beneath it, so the top of the tower isn't necessarily the goal. --Adonzo 00:57, 18 April 2006 (EDT)

I am curious however, is this the SAME tower from the 3rd books? After reading Medivh's profile, there was VERY little information regarding the books. Also, the tower was said to be somewhere in Redridge Mountains, but now it's in Deadwind Pass? It seems out of place to a degree, also it says, in Medivh's description, that he MOVED to the Tower of Karazhan, I'm confused, is this a retcon?

From what I understand, the Redridge Mountain range is quite huge, comprising much more than just the zone. Much of it was blasted apart when Ragnaros was summoned (creating the Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes). I imagine that Deadwind Pass is also part of the range. It wasn't until Khadgar killed Medivh that Deadwind and neighboring Duskwood fell under their current curse. --Adonzo 01:10, 18 April 2006 (EDT)

Is there a citation for the note in the article "Final Boss: Prince Malchazzar"? I haven't seen this anywhere. --Zephead 07:41, 22 August 2006 (EDT)

This is news to me too. A source would be much appreciated. --Mikaka 13:46, 13 November 2006 (EST)

The article states that there will be 10 bosses in Karazhan. What is this information based on? Especially it contradicts to Tigole's quote: "There are at least a dozen bosses in there so far". --Ymihere 08:59, 27 October 2006 (EDT)

Beta is released but people still won't give out information regarding this place, nor Prince Malchazzar. if you DO find anything, publish it please.

I'm confused. I'm not a TBC Beta tester so.... how can Kharazan be soo big ? From outside is preety small wtf, or there are underground caves? i'm confused so pls explain me... :/ --Nexxius 16:13, 21 November 2006 (EST)

Its a world scale issue, nothing in the overworld is to a realistic scale of the actual world due to limitations of computers. Overworld only respresents the locations of the actual world. This scale issue probably does not affect individual dungeons however, so those are probably pretty close to scaleBaggins 16:49, 21 November 2006 (EST)

I see.... thx , sounds more relative now, world scale issue and i heard a major part of the instance is in Twisting Nether.. Great --Nexxius 07:45, 22 November 2006 (EST)

The tower is unique in that it does not obey the lwas of space & time like th rest of the world (i think). The tower is said to be shaped as an hourglass, with the bottom half being a mirrored version of the top, decending deep underground. The top half is filled with ghosts and hte lower half filled with demons and eperiments (from what i can remember). Yet from what has been released about he beta.. there is no mention of the lower half of kharazan. I really hope this is added in at some point. At the moment kharazan does sound big.. maybe my expectations are too high, it just doesnt seem as big as it should..

Couple things:

I've seen this switch around a couple times, but Nightbane is technically the final boss, not Prince Malchezar. Thought y'all would like to know that.

Also, that "Rough Sketch" of the order of fights has a few flaws on it. Is it possible to get a more updated version. (curse ye, beta invites!)

Oh and if you're looking for beta information, I've had my fill straight from the horses mouth at www.beta.worldofwarcraft.com (The official forums)
