| − | The '''Mana-Tombs''' are a wing of the [[Auchindoun]] [[instance]]. It is accessed north from the [[Ring of Observance]]. Note that although the instance itself is called Mana-Tombs, the entrance area outside the portal is called '''Mana Tombs''' without the dash. The instance normally takes about 90-120 minutes. |

| − | [[Auchindoun]] is a former [[draenei]] holy site and Horde fortress in the middle of the Bone Wastes, in Outland's [[Terokkar Forest]]. It was a holy ground for draenei burial until the Shadow Council took over, summoned an extremely powerful demon as old as time itself, and destroyed half of [[Terokkar Forest]] in the process. Different factions now vie for power in this magical spot: Ethereals suck the arcane energy from the Mana-Tombs, the Burning Legion harvests souls inside the Auchenai Crypts, arakkoa zealots work dark magic in the Sethekk Halls, and the Shadow Council plots its domination of Outland from within the Shadow Labyrinth. |

| − | Its inhabitants are mostly [[ethereal]]s opposing the [[Consortium]]. The Mana-Tombs provide reputation for the Consortium until Honored; afterwards, in order to gain rep with the Consortium in Mana-Tombs, it must be run on Heroic (which requires honored with [[Lower City]]). The ethereals of the Consortium cannot enter due to the anti-ethereal wards set by [[Nexus-Prince Shaffar]]; they have attempted to breach the gates with little success, but have still tested whether or not their efforts worked - often resulting in the spotaneous combustion (for lack of a better term) of the ethereal tester sent through the gate. According to the Consortium, the ethereals in the Mana-Tombs are robbing it blind and if you wish to do business with them, you'll have to aid in taking out the competition. |

| − | == Walkthrough == |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | === Group and Level Guidance === |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | It is recommended that you take characters in the 64-66 level range. It is essential to have Crowd Control and/or Anti-caster abilities in group. One primary mage or warlock and a secondary can be helpful (Mage, Warlock, Second Priest, Hunter, Rogue). Tanking is not nearly as important in mana-tombs as it is in other instances so an off tank is not required. Having a back up healer is also helpful on boss fights, but they should be able to add to dps when demanded. A Priest or paladin is also needed for their shadow resistance buffs. |

||
| − | |||
| − | === Preparation for the Instance === |
||
| − | Having Shadow resist items will make the first boss a lot easier, in fact, shadow resist items will be essential for players at the lower end of spectrum (63-64) that do not have a perfectly well formed party. |

Be careful using Mind Control on a target within a group containing a Crypt Raider as they like to interrupt it. || Immune to Mind Control. Better to have one Raider crowd controlled when there are two of them. |

| − | | [[Ethereal Scavenger]] || Behaves like a prot [[Warrior]] with Shield bash ability. Can deliberately leave tank and bash a nearby healer or spellcaster player locking their currently used magic school for 15 or more seconds. || Immune to Mind Control |
||
| − | |- |
||
| − | | [[Ethereal Priest]] || Priests can be mind controlled; their heal will heal for 3k+ and the shield is comparable to a player's shield. For most groups, a single mind controlled priest is enough to solo heal the group. || Immune to Mind Control. |

||
| − | |- |
||
| − | | [[Ethereal Darkcaster]] || Have targeted (AoE possibly?) mana burn for 4k with a 25 yard range. Also have a Shadow Word: Pain for 1k ticks. Best way to deal with these is to mind control them before the pull and let the other mobs kill it. Alternatively, they can be burned down quickly and silenced/stunned when they attempt to Mana Burn. || Immune to Mind Control. Mana Burn burns ~10K mana. Melee attacks restore 20% of maximum health on successful hit. |
||
| − | |- class="alt" |
||
| − | | [[Ethereal Spellbinder]] || Behaves like a [[Warlock]], putting Immolate [[DoT]] spells on everyone. Summons 2 Mana Wraiths with shadowbolt volley attack. Also have the Counterspell ability with a short cooldown. || Immolate DoT ticks for 725 damage. Two Spellbinders can put double Immolate on every group member in few seconds, and that hurts. Immune to Mind Control. |

||
| − | | [[Nexus Terror]] || His melee attacks deal pure shadow damage, not mitigated by armor. Its common to see 2000+ damage crits on tank, and has AoE fear ([[Psychic Scream]]) Immune to [[Banish]]. || Instead of an AoE fear, casts single target [[Death Coil]] at random party member (not 1st on threat list). Immune to crowd control. |
||
| − | |- |
||
| − | | [[Ethereal Theurgist]] || Have a [[Polymorph]] and a [[Blast Wave]] AoE abilities. || Immune to Mind Control. |
||
| − | |- class="alt" |
||
| − | | [[Mana Leech]] || Non elite mana beast. Come in groups and individually do weak melee damage. Upon death, they explode into an arcane explosion for around 1500 damage. When more than 1 target in melee range, all leeches begin to do Arcane Explosion. If they sense a mana user in close range (below 20 yd maybe) they burn down his mana in mere seconds. Recommended to send tank on them and kill safely one by one from distance, or send a suicidal mage that will need good healing. || Same strategy as in normal mode. |

||
| − | * {{questlong|neutral|66|Someone Else's Hard Work Pays Off}} - Escort the head engineer back to entrance. Probably best done after killing Shaffar and clearing the whole instance. (As soon as you finish the quest ''Safety Is Job One'', several friendly NPCs will spawn, one of them will offer you this quest.) |
