'''Skarr''' is a rare [[cat]] that appears on floating rocks (roughly {{coords|38.0|35.5|Molten Front}} and {{coords|33.6|52.8|Molten Front}}) near the [[Fireplume Peak]] area of the [[Molten Front]] in [[Firelands]]. It has the same look as [[Soo-holu]] and [[Blackmaw]] but is tameable.

The '''Blasted Lands''' bear that name for a reason: they were twisted by the magic that brought the [[Dark Portal]] into being, spewing the rampaging [[Horde]] into [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]].

==Attacks and abilities==

This wasted desert of red clay is home to the original Dark Portal. The portal still stands, and leads to Outland — the remains of the orcs’ sundered homeworld, Draenor. Nethergarde Keep, a Stormwind fortress of dour mages and paladins, keeps watch over the portal and the demons and ogres that would abuse its power.{{Cite|WoWRPG|13}}
 
  +
<!-- Provide a list of attacks and abilities, if any. See the {{abilities}} template for more parameters -->
   
  +
==[[Taming Challenge]] tactics==
  +
Skarr is immune to freezing traps, scatter shot, and wyvern shot. It's recommended to have silencing shot available and use that in order to give yourself time to complete the long casting time of taming the beast as Skarr will kill the hunter within the fire 9 seconds, due to his stacking haste buff with every fireball attack cast.
   
  +
==Loot==
−
Now, the wretched land hosts few inhabitants and no significant settlements. Magic that leaked through the Dark Portal warped the Blasted Lands, leaving an infertile desert landscape. Hardy desert species like Basilisks, Scorpions and Hyenas have since colonized the area. The red rocks of the region do not come by their color naturally. The original tan color was transmuted into the unearthly crimson by searing heat and chaotic energies when the Dark Portal was destroyed.
 
  +
{{lootbox||Crystalline Tear of Loyalty}}
   
  +
== Notes ==
−
There is but one usable road in the Blasted Lands, guarded at the north by [[Nethergarde Keep]]’s grim mages. They have the unenviable task of watching the Dark Portal, guarding the rest of the continent from the [[demon]]s in the south and protecting themselves from the [[ogre]] tribes that roam the desert. The weather here is dry and hot during the day and bitterly cold at night. Mountains block any moisture that may come from the [[Swamp of Sorrows]] to the north, and no rivers grace this land. The eastern coast will occasionally get storms from the sea, but these downpours come so quickly the water merely runs off the packed earth and back into the sea.
 
  +
*IT spawns at a possible two locations locations on floating rocks near the [[Fireplume Peak]].

*Skarr might be a reference to ''Scar'' from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_King|The Lion King].

== Patch changes ==
−
The keepers of Nethergarde have an uptight and uncheerful disposition that seems appropriate in light of the danger they face daily. The [[warriors]] and [[mages]] fight every day with the ogre magi and demons that threaten either to destroy the keep or take over the [[Dark Portal]]. This tightly knit community experiences little crime, however. Those found breaking the agreements they take on when accepting a post at the Keep are sent for a time to the [[Stockade]] in [[Stormwind]]. These mages cannot afford any dissension in the ranks. If you must visit the Blasted Lands, remember that the Nethergarde mages are the only hospitable people in the entire region for Alliance. And they’re not even that hospitable.

−
== Getting there ==
 
−
;{{Alliance Icon Small}}Alliance:From [[Duskwood]], head east through [[Deadwind Pass]], be sure to stay to the northern edge of the zone where there are no mobs. Once through the pass and into the [[Swamp of Sorrows]], make for the center of the southern border. A pass through the mountains there should take you into the Blasted Lands.
 
−
;{{Horde Icon Small}}Horde:From [[Stonard]] in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]], head southwest. The pass into the Blasted Lands should be very close to the Horde outpost.
 
−  
−
All faction capital cities contain a [[portal (city)|portal]] to the area outside the [[Dark Portal]]. These portals are located near the portal entrances to the city, i.e. where the portals ''to'' the city lead. (Portal requires level 58 to use.)
 
−  
−
==History==
 
−
[[File:Dark Portal Active.jpg|thumb|The Dark Portal]]
 
−  
−
This foul desert was once a dark fen of marshlands called the [[Black Morass]]; a sort of sub-region of the [[Swamp of Sorrows]]. This is the area where the [[orcish]] [[Horde]] first entered Azeroth through the [[Dark Portal]], followed soon by their attack on the [[human]] lands to the northwest. The lands around the former Dark Portal are burnt and dead, forever warped by the powers that followed its destruction. Lightning strikes are constant, and the inhospitable land is home to groups of especially vicious and powerful creatures. A sizable remnant of the [[Burning Legion]] has taken refuge within the [[Tainted Scar]]. It is still watched over by the wizards of [[Dalaran]] within the Fortress of Nethergarde, established by the Archmage [[Khadgar]] after the second war. The unique and dangerous opportunities presented in such a harsh landscape has also attracted the notice of the [[Blood Elves]] and the [[Horde]].
 
−  
−
As if the Horde weren’t enough, [[Dreadmaul]] [[ogres]] also came through the Dark Portal. Unlike the orcs, they remained in the Blasted Lands. Nethergarde’s mages tell that the ogres serve Lord [[Kazzak]]. Whoever their master is, he orders them to attack the Alliance’s keep on an uncomfortably regular basis.
 
−  
−
The Blasted Lands were once littered with gold mines, and heavily populated with [[centaur (Eastern Kingdoms)|centaur]].<ref>{{ref game|title=Warcraft III|expansion= The Frozen Throne|campaign=Official Multiplayer Map|mission=Blasted Lands}}</ref>
 
−  
−
== Geography ==
 
−
This desolate and barren land has very little in the way of flora and fauna, barring the demons which now wander the plains. The region is particularly notable because the dark portal leading into [[Outland]] can be found here.
 
−  
−
There are no instanced dungeons or battlegrounds in this zone, though several [[Dungeon|micro dungeons]] can be found here.

The Blasted Lands are home to several characters of note. At [[Nethergarde Keep]], [[Thadius Grimshade]] aids adventurers in locating a special gryphon. Further west, near Dreadmaul Hold, [[Bloodmage Drazial]] and [[Bloodmage Lynnore]] attempt to capture the essence of strength, power and wisdom from the local beasts and turn them into special elixirs. And deep inside the Tainted Scar, [[Daio the Decrepit]] sends highly seasoned warlocks into the darkest, most demonic parts of the world in search of mystical items.

These quests are obtainable from Kum'Isha The Collector, level 60 in the Middle of Blasted Lands.

Any mob in the Blasted Lands can drop both of these items, but the best source for the sphere is [[Teremus|Teremus The Devourer]], a dragon that can be 5 manned. It drops it 75% chance and usually about 2-3 spheres. Each of these spheres give a Level 40-50 Superior/Rare Item, or if you are very lucky, an Epic Item. The Imperfect Fragments only give random Level 40-50 Uncommon Items.

In addition to these, the Tainted Scar (sub-zone in the south-western parts of the Blasted Lands, currently populated by elite demons) is now a large worgen area.

It is not yet known if the worgen there will be affiliated with the Alliance or serve as wilds/renegades. What is known, however, is that Dreadmaul Hold is no longer an ogre settlement, but a Horde town.<ref>http://www.wowhead.com/guide=cataclysm&world#changed-zones</ref>
