I tried it and could click on it and saw the description you mentioned. It could be a lead! But... that crate has been there since 8.0 so it could well be for something else: https://www.wowhead.com/object=281206/z ... e#comments

If it is used for the tome, you may have to do something like defeat H Zul first. But, who knows? :/

Either way, thanks for reporting it :)

Is it possible that would be triggered by a pet in the nearby area? Like a Devilsaur/Raptor/Frog(As crawgs were linked to Krag'wa)?
Or maybe the plant eating achievement has a clue in it?

My hunter has not defeated Zul Hc, so maybe that's why he can not interact with the box.

I'm a little sad ... how am I going to throw zul hc with my alter? I think I was left without having my little Spud.

It's been there since 8.0, and previously had a quest for Horde (that couldn't be accepted), so I'm not entirely sure it has anything to do with the Tome.

Most likely it was a questline that was abandoned before live happened, and got left in game.

If I had to guess, Alliance hunters can't interact with it, but Horde hunters can, as it was likely meant to be a Horde quest, much like the random note on the ground in Stormsong that starts a quest for Alliance, but still highlights for Horde but does nothing when clicked on. My Nightborne can, but my Void Elf can't, but neither have killed Zul Heroic.

That would explain the discrepancy! My hunter is Horde. It would also pretty much quash the theory that it's now been repurposed for the Tome, or both factions should be able to interact with it. Ah well, it was an interesting possibility :)

The mechanics of the first two bosses, especially the second, may make it nearly impossible at our current ilvl. The second boss throws a random player into a sarcophagus shortly after the fight begins. Since the Hunter is the only player, that would mean that they would be thrown in. Without another player to get them out, they are stuck until the boss kills them.

The only way it would be possible is if they changed how the second fight works when there is just one person.

Dang it. Ahahaha, guess I really should get that goat then. That's what my day is tellin' me now. I'm looking at places with H. Cause sometimes that kinda lowkey hint is a thing and someone pointed out the hint had Heroic capitalized.

I'm trying soloing Underrot's second boss in hc, but I have 360 and always wipe at ~50% hp :'c

Maybe is the key, it's the only Blood beast boss

I don’t think it is possible to solo that boss. I have a higher ilvl and wipe at around 50%. It is not possible to keep the ticks under control. They will very quickly and easily overwhelm you.

I've tried soloing Cragmaw on heroic as well. Doing it with ilvl 376. I've gotten him down to 50% before the first tantrum phase, but its impossible to get every blood larva around the room by yourself and your pet cannot take them all, even after getting most of the larvas stomped on. The Bleed deals too much for you and your pet to handle. For now, I doubt anyone can do it until the next raid drops. I do believe the tome is there. It's the mage tower all over again.

Has there ever been a drop that won't drop unless the looter is by themselves? I'm curious about the tech and coding behind that... unless when killed solo by a hunter, he drops an item on the ground you loot. I'm just eager for him to be solo'd so we can either cross it off the list and move on or figure out how best to "twink" our hunters.

I feel bad because I'm betting the devs were excited about giving us a fun secret with a cool reward, but honestly I lost patience and wonder like, the Saturday after the patch and really just want the stupid thing now.
