Is it my imagination, or has Fras Siabi gone the way of everybody in Azeroth with a similar name?

wrote on 5/15/2024

He did. Anything with a naming convention that could be connected to Alex Afrasiabi was given a different name.

Heads up that if you get DC'd after clicking the letter, even if you can keep doing the dungeon, clicking the mailbox does nothing. Went back and looked for the letters again just in case but no luck

Yesterday I could enter, but today, I keep getting kicked out after performing 6-ish rounds. Message; you have been removed from the group. Pretty weird since it's a one-man dungeon:( Anyone had this at hand earlier, or even today?

wrote on 11/5/2020

I've entered and left the dungeon at least 30-ish times today and have yet to see the letter a single time in any of the first three spawns. Or any other feasible place for that matter. I will never understand why all the 'fun' things must be RNG-based. >.<

Unless they like...stealth "fixed" (or broke) it so you only get one shot per week at spawning Postmaster. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that was the case.

Edit: Thankfully, I found the bloody thing at the last spot before the final set of bosses. Of course, then absolutely none of the posted strategies worked and he despawned, leaving me to angrily hunt down this damn letter AGAIN next week. Wth is he even *on* a timer in the first place? So dumb.

Edit 2 (to avoid spamming): I have run this dungeon enough times to get *all* of the rewards, and yet I have never once seen Fras Siabi spawn. Hate when "low chance" feels like "no chance in hell". (edited)

After I've completed it and the letter didnt spawn how do I re-enter without it being heroic mode?

Edit: nvm just found out you can only do it once on normal (edited)

Rakenessa wrote on 4/24/2020

Has something changed? A lot of these fights are now not working for me, including staff picks and 4/5 star strats.

wrote on 4/24/2020

If something had changed to make strats fail, we would be seeing many comments about it. We aren't. Try examining what happ[ened in a battle in detail. Ideally, copy the battle log, examine it, and EXPLAIN what went wrong IN DETAIL, and make a comment under the strat that failed. Someone will investigate. (edited)

I completed this dungeon for the first time and during my 'normal mode' run I encountered and beat Fras Siabi - but didn't get any cleansed remains for beating him. Is this just because it was the first normal run, and I hadn't earned any cleansed remains yet? At the end of the run I got the achievement and quest rewards but no extra cleansed remains.

Also this dungeon was way more tolerable and fun than Gnomer and Deadmines. I'm really happy for that. (edited)

kathie wrote on 11/10/2019

If you find a letter and put it in the mailbox, is it a 100% guarantee that he'll spawn or is that RNG too? Because I found a letter, put it in the mailbox and he didn't spawn.

wrote on 11/10/2019

If you've already completed it, he won't spawn again. Otherwise, a discarded letter plus clicking on the mailbox should spawn him.

The stages in between are role play only and you don’t have to battle anything there :)

Just a FYI, I'm colorblind and can barely make out the red dots and only partially make out the numbers. I use TomTom but if map/text was different color it would be a lot easier to use.

wrote on 9/15/2019

For future maps what color works best? Unfortunately, sometimes these maps don't do well with black. Is the green for the mailbox location okay? (edited)

wrote on 9/15/2019

can't make a map that works perfect for everybody's eyes, hence the tomtom coords (edited)

Khebu

wrote on 9/21/2019

Same here as Ken. A dark brown or even just straight black would work better, imo.

Thank you for the feedback -- we'll keep that in mind for future maps :)

Lolfix wrote on 9/12/2019

You know if you get Fras encounter in your run straight after defeating the critters in the trap with the gates. An emote in red text will appear and you can just run past Risen Guard and the fountain, and fight Fras.

I started late on this one... wanted to grind pet levels for backup just in case. First clear I found the letter after clearing the scenario and going back. Second week I managed to get lucky with Fras. I'm wondering though if it's possible to encounter both of the bonus encounter bosses in the same scenario?

Xandrie wrote on 9/6/2019

Yes, it's definitely possible to get both Malown and Fras Siabi in the same run. I got both, the first time I went in....and thanks to the pain others went through before me (those who have created strats here), I was able to beat them both.

FYI, if you "teleport out of dungeon" the whole thing resets. if you select "leave instance group" you get a prompt about not being able to get back in. i guess they don't want people to try to spawn Frias.

wrote on 7/13/2019

either way you get a new chance to encounter fras

wrote on 7/22/2019

Yeah but only after re-clearing everything up to and including the Critters. I've seen people talk about getting back in and being clear up to Critters, but it has never worked for me.

Can the letter be found after you've completed the pet dungeon but haven't yet teleported out?

wrote on 7/29/2019

yes, for the letter it doesn't matter at which stage of the dungeon you are

Lowlander#2941

wrote on 7/8/2019

the following script should check if you have done all tournaments this lock-out:

/run local t={[33137]="The Celestial Tournament", [45539]="Wailing Critters", [46292]="Deadmines", [54186]="Gnomeregan", [56492]="Stratholme"} for k,v in pairs(t) do print(v,"is",IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(k) and "done." or "NOT done.") end

Made 2 trips around the perimeter of the dungeon as well as the cart in the middle zoomed all the way in checking between every crack and crevice by every crate and barrel. No letter. I think I'm one of the unlucky ones. I'm sure if I reset the dungeon I might find it, but I don't think the letter is there every time.

wrote on 7/12/2019

It seems the spawn of the letter is not guaranteed yeah, maybe the text should make that more clear..

VikingLady wrote on 7/2/2019

I have been through the entire dungeon 10-15 times looking around every crate and have not been able to find it. I'm guessing this means that it does not spawn every week, Wish there was some way to know for sure that I didn't just miss it!

Sable wrote on 7/2/2019

I found one today near the wandering phantasm stage, 59.73, 42, the crate behind the lamppost.

wrote on 7/2/2019

I can confirm that the letter spawning is not guaranteed.

Found the letter between a crate and a set of stairs at 40.15 10.58 . Guess that is the one mentioned by DragonsAfterDark.

I finished the last battle and then backtracked and found mine before the Plagued Critters, right hand side leaning against a barrel on top of a box, before the tree.

Mukuro wrote on 6/13/2019

I see many strategies require moths: do they require a new set of moths each time or they can be reused in multiple fights in challenge mode? Trying to figure out if I need to collect additional pets.

wrote on 6/13/2019

Ah, I see Schlumpf has done a themed series with moths. :)

I haven't tested, but I think it's safe to say that you will mostly need fresh moths for each battle. The moths will take some damage or die as they go.

However, there are 23 Species of moths sharing the same movesets, and an awful lot of people have collected many of them as part of their Safari achievements, so there will be plenty to serve as reinforcements.

schlumpf#2707

wrote on 6/13/2019

Yeah, the moth Strats are mostly just shit Strats for the fun of it, demonstrating how easily some fights can be done. Most of the time, unless otherwise noted as "you will one-moth this", all of them will die. There are indeed quite a lot of different moths so you might actually manage to clear it with using all those moth Strats.

If there are other alternatives, I suggest not to use moth Strats unless I explicitly noted them to be amazing. Tommy and Huncher for example are super safe and easy moth ones.

Please note that there multiple alternatives for **all** fights, so nothing in here *requires* moths.

Mukuro wrote on 6/14/2019

Thanks for the answers. I was unsure since in Gnomeregan you could get a lot of mileage out of the Emperor Crab + Soul of the Forge combo, so many encounters had the same composition but you would not need multiple pets. I though there might have been something similar going on with the moths strats.

woofpup87

wrote on 6/28/2019

I've found having an entire stable of moths to be a most useful addition to my pet collection. I have them all and they are all level 25.

Toenail

wrote on 6/29/2019

I have lots of moths, flitters, etc, but only 1 (2?) i have are S/S. i want to diversify a bit in case more would be better, even if not needed for this dungeon

wrote on 6/29/2019

By all means, diversify any pet that has the same moveset across multiple species. S/S is often not ideal for flyers anyhow. You obviously want a H/H White, P/P Yellow, and S/S Silky, but after that look at the stats possible, not just the breed, because different base stats mean a range of possible results even for the same breed.

Kimberleigh wrote on 6/27/2019

Make sure you don't pass the plagued critters, otherwise the gate will close and you can't get back to them.

How is it, as a dungeon? Going to take 9 weeks for all the rewards, so hopefully enjoyable since it does seem longer?

wrote on 5/6/2019

Look up Cymre Jones on YouTube. She posted a video yesterday showing a runthrough.

Apart from the rats-in-the trap bit, which is cute, it's pretty much same ol', same ol'.

wrote on 5/8/2019

It's shorter than Gnomer, I'm thinking. I've never done a timed run in Gnomer, but for Strat I ran it at around 20 minutes using teams pre-loaded in Rematch, their corresponding scripts, and wasting no time starting the next fight.

gsanta

wrote on 6/21/2019

That's good. Gnomeregan usually took at least 45 minutes in the same setup, so this sounds quite a bit faster. I do wish the pet dungeons had an overall optimal setup more along the lines of Celestial tournament for no reuses, but not sure how that would be implemented.

Jozee

wrote on 6/27/2019

It's an enjoyable dungeon with pretty easy fights imo. Took me 27 mins with rematch teams and no scripts. Good luck :D

If you did Gnomeregan, you'll be offered the introduction quest by the same NPC (the ones with Mana-Poof on their side in Boralus or Dazar'alor). Then you go to Eastern Plaguelands and to the side entrance of the Straholme dungeon.

And I hope we are clear that you'll not find this on live servers right now, this is 8.2 content so you'll have to wait for 8.2 release or test in on PTR.
