Has anyone boxed this yet? I just turned 56 and that is the recommended level according to some sites. I thought for sure someone would have posted a video by now hehe. Is it difficult? more or less than the blackrock mountain dungons?

Just contemplating whether or not I should go to DM yet or stay in BRD for a few levels.

The DM suggestions are based on sneaking through to a few specific location that have non elites for you to aoe farm and reset the instance. You can youtube those guides, but i'm pretty sure most of them arent as viable as the video suggest since DM classic is quite different than the private servers suggested. Though, i havent been in there yet on live, so i truely dont know how different it is.

At 56 i'd be in Eastern Plaguelands doing argent rep and clearing the zone quests, or BRD.

The 56 suggestion was from Blizzards own guide to DM. I will be doing the quests in WP/EP .. i quest during the wee hours of the morning..less competition for mobs.. dungeons late day/night.


I was looking for people on here that might have ventured in there already.

Ignore the recommended levels. DM is effectively a level 60 dungeon. The mobs have more HP and do more damage than any other dungeon in the game. A lot of the loot is also better than phase 1 raid gear.

With decent gear you could probably manage it at 58+ but it'd be unnecessarily difficult. I'd rather just go grind out 60 and then farm it.

Would agree with above, except for DM:E. DM:E way easier than the other two and can be done at around 58 comfortably.

I have been doing jump runs on my WMMMP (60) and finding i can clear it in about 12 minutes
its pretty easy and can make some good money off it, made enough for 2 epics mounts since it opened to now
Have not tired the other wings yet as i am just trying to get enough gold to finish all my epic mounts need 1 more

Is the point of the jump runs for the loot of the bosses only? because all that trash has potential for drops as well. Fell cloth off the Demons for one. I'm almost 58, I'm going to try it tonight just for fun.. no skipping trash though, all of DM-E.

The point is the blues off the bosses as well as the chance to get class books off them.
Also at the end of the instance is 2-3 rich thorium veins

ahh ok.. the books only drop off bosses? i knew about blues and the thorium.. i was just thinking that as a box team, it might be more lucrative to do the trash as well. I know some people farm the plants for gold as well. When non boxers do the jump run they do it for simplicity sake.. they often try and get it done with just two or three people.. so skipping the trash for them is necessary.

They're looted from "a dusty tome" that can be found in several locations in the DM dungeons.

The priest trinket is amazing for MC. Healing power, MP5 and 10 fire resist. The warlock one is nice. The mage one sucks :(

Yea.. i think the dropped books are better librams than pre-phase 2 ..rapidity etc..
