Some help for a noob

[Bun-Bun]

So, I think I might just try to see what I can do in the Deadmines solo tonight, as I hit 24 last night. This has nothing to do with the weekend possibility, Tal and co.  :)

Good luck. I really do think you'll need a group to have fun with it; the elites would be either too dangerous or too boring. :)

Do I just go in there from Westfall's entrance (to which I escorted the Traitor), or do I talk to the innkeeper in Stormridge, or what else do I have to do?

Just walk in to the entrance the traitor pointed out and follow your nose down. The straightest path to the instance is done by always turning right ay any choice. Eventually you'll get to a railing beyond which is a swirly blue portal - that's the instance proper. Jump over the railing and run into the blue swirlies, ignoring any miners that may get in your way - they can't follow you into the instance.

The Thistlenetter quests are done outside the instance by bearing left. There's a section full of elite undead. These quests can and often are skipped in favor of just getting to the instance stuff.

If I die, do I have to run to the body as usual, or does the instance end, or....?

You have to run from the graveyard to the beginning of the instance (the blue thing again) and you'll rez there. Anything you've killed in the instance will still be dead, although some will respawn afer a given time regardless of you dying or not. If there is a respawn, you'll have to fight through them again to reach your previous point. Fortunately, bosses stay dead.

If I res at the cemetary, and deside to forget about it, do I have to reaquire the quest again? Can I even do it?

Death has no effect, you'll still have the uncompleted quests in your log, taunting you, torturing you, speaking in quiet whispers about the tasks you have left undone. But I digress.

What is the difference between a Dungeon and an Instance, as illustrated by the monster info shown here: http://wow.allakhazam.com/dyn/mobs/zone68.html  and if they are not the same, how do I get into an Instance?

No difference, Alla's nomenclature is confused.

ps. Edit: Is there a way to edit the title of the thread? It should have read *Some* help for a noob, not *So*. Oh well....

You're stuck with the thread title, no editing for you!
