Soloable as a fury warrior using Fear and Recklessness.

I have 4300 HP, Brutality Blade MH, Frostbite OH

1. Charge
2. Berserker Rage
3. Demoralizing Shout
4. Fear
5. Recklessness
6. Run

Try to avoid letting her cast chain lightning, as it's her only ability that does any real damage (fear should interrupt the first one, and pummel the next). Ideally you have her down before the ads get back, then throw on your shield and run. You may have to pot, but I usually don't. Frost nova can be a pain, but the ads really don't do much damage, and don't seem to chase far.

Looking for a reliable spawn-point. Anyone know where?

soloed as a 57 frost mage, good way to get he text for the quests ;D

Comment by 64664

Nice mob and worth killing if you're going for the reputation of the Cenarion Circle. She can drop more Encrypted Twilight Texts in one kill.
Easy to kill after the last patch 2.3.

Comment by 56704

Does anyone know if there is a respawn time on her? if so how long is it?

Comment by 51714

Is there a certain place I can find her? There are pins all over the map.... :( Is she just walking around?

Comment by 138857

Very easy solo as a 57 BM hunter. Just send the pet in, use Beastial Wrath and use Mend Pet.

PS: I use an Owl with Screech, so its easy for my pet to hold aggro on all mobs during Mend Pet.

Comment by 64303

Who really cares what classes can solo this mob at what level. where's the information/
Like; respawn timer, initial span location, etc.

vote me down, but I am personally tired of reading all the crap posted here and would love to actually see USEFUL information for once.

Guess I will record spawn timer and location and make an addendum to this post.

Okay, I like TOTALLY soloed this mob...!!! (just kidding - heh)

As you can see from the map above, the mob has a very particular pathing route, however it is in two segments.

For the top route she will spawn at 18, 31 and pat along the dots on the map to 39, 42. At that point she will turn around and go back to the start and go back and forth etc. She does a little jig on the west end of the pat. Between 24, 39 and 23, 34 she will walk north/south, the rest of the time it is pretty well east/west as you see on the map.

For the bottom route she will spawn at 19, 83, then follow the dots northeast to 27, 71, at which point she heads almost due west to 23, 68 - where she turns around and goes back to where she started etc. For this route it can be a bit tricky since she goes into a small crevice just west of 27, 71. So the map above is pretty accurate, that one last point (at 24, 69.6) t is not an abberation, the mob really does pat down that way - and a bit further.

Spawn times? It's hard to say, but I can pretty well say that this mob has a spawn cooldown timer. The first time I killed her the zone was empty and so she had likely been up a while. As such, right after her body disappeared she repoped again at the other camp. However, after killing her again the spawn time increased. Since I was following her around I can't say what the timer is for sure, but based on the time between my last two kills it was 20 minutes. So it really depends on how long it has been since she has been killed to determine how long it will be until she spawns. If she has been up for more than 20 mins, expect a fast repop. If not, expect to wait.

Spawn point selection? Random. While it did seem like I was getting a top/bottom thing going for a bit, I did have two spawns on the top route back to back, which would indicate the spawn point selection is indeed random. As noted above, she will spawn at either 18, 31 or 19, 83. At no time did she spawn at any other location. (I killed her five times.)

As noted, she walks with two guards. The chain lightning is the worst of the abilities, use any interrupt on that you can and you should have no problems if you are able to solo elites at this level.

Comment by antioch

The north and south spawns are independent of one another. The north spawns every 30 minutes and the south every 45-60 minutes it seems.

They've changed her since TBC release. She used to patrol with four guards instead of two. I seem to recall both repawns previously being on a 30 minute timer as well.

Comment by 166697

I think the "solo'ed by -----" information is pretty handy. I have often used it as a baseline whether I might be able to solo something myself.

just my $0.02

Comment by justcallmeanti

To the best of my knowledge, there are actually two of her, one at each spawn location. According to my guild mate, who farmed them for a while, the top has a half hour spawn time and the bottom one has an hour spawn timer. It seems strange to have two different timers, so I'll confirm this soon!

Comment by 109113

Can't confirm the spawn times, but yes there is two.

Comment by 235465

Today I watched my timers closely using the in-game stopwatch and have this to report:
The northern prophet has a respawn timer that varies between 25 and 30 minutes. This timer seems to be closer to 30 more often than not.
The southern prophet has a respawn timer that varies between 45 and 60 minutes.

Edit: The northern prophet can respawn as quickly as just under 24 minutes.
Edit: The northern prophet's respawn timer is more variable than I thought. I've seen as quick as 21 minutes and as long as 30 minutes now.

Comment by 128588

Farmed the Twilight Base Camp (one due west of Cenarion Hold) for about 4 hours earlier and she only passed by me once on the north side. She dropped 7 texts and I dropped her in 4 shots as a merc/ veng/ BT geared BM hunter. Her adds were incredibly weak as well.

Comment by 132990

Can there be more than one up at any given time?

Comment by Hezkezl

I'm not sure if the two that I killed tonight were up at the SAME time. But I killed the one in the northern camp, then immediately rode down south, roamed around a little, and found the south guy and killed him. All within ~3 minutes of each other. So it's very likely it's possible for both of them to be up. Depending on how populated the area is with players, it might not be very PROBABLE..

Comment by Zenithas

Confirmed that she can be up in two locations, though it doesn't seem an often occurrence.

Partied up with a 60 priest, found her at both locations at the same time. North one dropped, south one dropped, south one immediately respawned, south one dropped, north one immediately respawned, north one dropped, neither showed for 1/2 an hour, north one spawned and dropped. Nothing for another hour.

I'll try again later.

Comment by Firedwarf

If you are lvl 80 this mob wont be hard at all. I took 34 dmg total thats all. Lvl 70 shouldnt have any problems at all either. Below lvl 60 might have problems. But overall its a very easy mob which gives around 500 rep total. GL grinding her

Comment by Lighter

Also gives 30 rep at level 80

Comment by Tjista

This is a very old comment on thottbot.com from myself. I found it while searching for the exact respawn timer, because I knew I commented it somehere while farming them on an older character. Sheesh, 3 years...

---
The Spawn Rate for the Northern Patrol is 28 minutes. -/+ 3 minutes. It's a bit random.

The Southern Patrol has a longer Spawn Rate. It's about 70 minutes.

I'm the only person on my server that farms them and I do it for two weeks now. I'm pretty sure on these numbers.

I would bet though that both patrols are somehow linked together.

Maybe you have to let the northern patrol reach the eastern camp to have the southern patrol respawn earlier?^

Edit: You should always(!) kill the whole pack, because if you don't the respawn time will be longer!

Comment by Szzrak

Soloed as a lvl 57 mutilate rogue.

Sapped her, killed the adds, vanished and ate up to full health.
Fighting her was pretty simple, just keep her stunned and whenever she starts
casting just kick or gouge. Had to pop a health pot just in case, but probably would've
made it without. Her melee attacks don't hit for much, the key is to interrupt the spells.

Comment by 414183

Solo'd as lvl 60 aff lock. Sent the blueberry at her, he grabbed aggro, I wiped the adds, she was at half health. Killed her just before she killed the voidwalker.

Comment by 309039

A good macro to use if you're planning on farming just this mob is

/cleartarget
/target Twilight Prophet

You can run around on her path, spamming that macro, and you're sure to find her if she's up.

Comment by theconfessor

gave 1427xp (491 rested) AND 7 texts.

solo'd as a 56 Marksman hunter.

Comment by Maxymum

Its acually not hard. Killed him with lvl 57 hunter and 53 gorilla as pet. BM specc

Comment by 294737

So it's very likely it's possible for both of them to be up. - hezkezi

I am rating this comment back up. It was at zero when I found it. I, too, was skeptical of this inforrmation when I read it. However, I am confirming it to be completely accurate. She is not the twilight prophet, she is a twilight prophet. And both may be up at the same time.

Comment by sunsmoon

Soloable by a level 57 holy paladin wearing a mix of cloth, leather, and plate, and using a shield.
3375 armor, 217 sp, 15% holy crit, 3k health, 5k mana with Kings. If you have 3.5-4k health I'd recommend using Wisdom. As always, so long as you have mana you will have health.

It's quite difficult and may require a death. First you must kill all the mobs in the area you plan to fight her. I chose an area next to one of the stone crystal formations so that, when feared, I would hopefully not be feared out into the open.

Once that is complete, pull her and her two adds into that area. Kill both adds, keeping a very close eye on your health. Interrupt her Chain Lightnings, and bubble the fear if you're taking a beating. I used Fire Resist aura, but Ret, Devo, or Shadow Resist will work. Judge Light+Holy Shock (if you're at full health)+Auto Attack (with Seal of Righteousness) down the adds.

At this point you might need to reset her. Gauge your mana consumption. If you feel you can continue go right on ahead. You might need to drink a mana potion at this point. I switched to Seal of Light at this point (Glyphed), used Holy Shock on CD (as damage if I was at full health, and as healing if I was below 60%). Interrupt her Chain Lightning, Judge as needed (I switched to Wisdom at this point), and auto attack some more. Eventually one of you will die. If you die, pull her when she patrols back through and continue as written.

Comment by Darthdavo

encountered her 3 times. I think she has a 10-30min spawn timer.

Comment by 438601

Easily soloed as a 57 BM hunter. I got hit once by the chain lightning, but after that i had my cat tank her, just interupted them with Arcane Torrent and Intimidation. The two Avengers, i had one of them trapped and one of them attacked my pet, and when the trap ran out, I just had him attack me until the elite died.

Comment by killerdinoblood

Soloble as a 58 lvl Shadow Priest with the right strategy.....the Mind Control Strategy!She is Mind Controlble so i MC and used her awsome abilities like frost nova and chain lighning then fire nova and the adds are almost dead i w8 for her cooldowns and repet the rotation again then her 2 guards have kissed the bucket.Then our battle starts she casted Chain Lighning but i silenced her then i deald some serious damage afterwards she used Psychic Scream but untill PS ended she was dead from my DoTs

Comment by Looseminded

Soloed her as a level 57 Combat Rogue.

Have Stained Shadowcraft Tunic, Exceptional Stormshroud Shoulders, Swift Hand of Justice x 2, and Venerable Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge with Unholy Weapon enchant and Battleworn Thrash Blade with Crusader enchant.

Basically just stunlocked her to death. Upon fearing, waited for the fear to run off, blinded her as she started to cast chain lightning, and stunned her for the rest of the duration she had health for. Used Instant Poison V on both of my swords.

Ended up popping Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry along with Rupture for damage and to take down her Twilight Avengers.

Rotation: (Rupture wherever you can spare combo points)
Sap (Avenger 1)
/target Twilight Prophet
Cheap Shot
Sinister Strike x 2
Kidney Shot
Adrenaline Rush
Blade Flurry
Sinister Strike x 2
Slice & Dice
From here on it's basically the next prettiest button you can find.
After she uses Psychic Scream and begins to cast Chain Lightning
Blind
Then finish her off with some KO Power. :)

Turned out to be an easy fight, dropped 8 pages for me. :)

wat?

Comment by insaneblade

i'v killed her 5 times within 15mins so im sure its not a long spawn seems she switches spots each time

Comment by Imatree

Since these Prophets usually drop 9-10 pages, think of them as 500 Cenarion Circle Rep each. Well worth running around the desert to find them. :P

Comment by 518682

Phew. No sooner had I finished reading a few comments on here, flipped back into game and there she was. At least there is some luck.
She only had 2 avengers with her, and dropped me 9 texts.
Now. Back to farming for Duke of Cynders ><

Comment by DarkHealer

{Leónidas} is my LvL 80 Fury warrior. Grinding these guys for rep is like killing boars in the forrest... Easy way to get your reputation up for Cenarion Circle. Sadly, with 30K unbuffed it's still impossible to do the raid w/o a healer.

Comment by Biaxident

The southern prophet seems to be on a longer spawn timer on average, compared to the northern one. I often start at the southern one, kill it, then the northern one and when I log back in about 20 minutes later the northern one is usually up, with the southern one taking another 5 minutes at least to spawn.

Comment by smart001

Similar to AmicaGL's post, I use a macro when mindlessly killing all the other twilight variants. I have Star pop up on mine though, only adding this macro because it makes her really easy to see, but i had to search a bit to find out how to set a raid icon in a macro.
/cleartarget
/target Twilight Prophet
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 1)

Comment by jakra002

Soloed as a elemental shaman, just push the avengers away with thunderstorm and when ur hp gets low, heal urself ^^
Btw, i didnt use any heirlooms.

Comment by 792570

Confirmed as of 2/20/11 that this mob drops a lot of the Encrypted text pages.
Easily soloed as a 56 Arcane Mage
Popped Mirror image and nuked her, her 2 adds, and another that I aggroed while kiting.
It seems that this mob used to be way harder, reading prior comments, but it wasn't very hard.

Comment by Varemort

Good kill if going for cenarion circle rep. She gives more honor when killed than standard mobs and always drops at least 7 encrypted twilight texts

Comment by Morec0

Also known as Stephanie Meyer.

Comment by Pavelow

for a unholy DK was able to solo her in about 10 seconds
lvl:59

i think most classes should be able to solo, her ranged need to kite and melee need to burst fast but other then that rather easy

Comment by morituri

Good for farming rep. A simple /target Twilight Prophet macro will do if you don't mind to hit the macro while scouting the areas they walk, which usually are between posts. With some luck and patience, can find them around once per 20-30 minutes.

Another note, Silithus is a map that can be left behind for a while because you will be close to go into Outland by the time you are asked to go to Silithus. I came back when lvl 85 for farming Cen Circle rep, and got from friendly to exalted in 3-4 days, returning the Encrypted Twilight Text, which will give you 550 rep for every 10 Texts.

Comment by LiriusMagi

For patch 4.2.0, froze my mage's experience at level 60. Twilight Prohpet is an easy solo for my mage in full Field Marshal's gear. There are two different spawns that run on different timers, because I seem to find one towards the south and ten minutes later find another one at the two north camps.

Comment by 848540

Just look at her as a walking, talking, stack of 500 rep. Easiest turn in for Cenarion Circle ever.

Comment by Mightyblimp

Just killed her on my 56 affliction warlock by accident, very easy mob to kill. Dropped 9 texts and awarded 550 rep (with guild bonus.) Only real danger is when her two cohorts come to help her - two twilight avengers. They aren't that dangerous but, if she manages to get far ahead of them like in my case, they will aggro any other twilight cultists on their way to you. Found by the south-eastern twilight camp.

Comment by corvis9

The southern spawn is a bit glitchy. Sometimes the prophet and her guards are very widely separated. That is, on the opposite sides of the hill that they patrol around.

So far apart that you might aggro her or her guards, kill her/them and have enough slack for the aggro to break before she/they can close on you.

Good thing if it's just her, bad thing if it's them and you'd like to locate her quickly by attacking and killing them.

Comment by Kilrathi3

for all your Cenarion Circle rep grinders
the prophet spawns about every 20 min or so after kill
1 is spawn point near 26.5 / 30.0 and meanders to 44.5 / 39.5 then back.
the twilight text drops get you 550 (with guild boost?) rep per 10 at Cenarion Hold,

do NOT turn in to the bum in the cave at 68 / 62, you only get 40 silver!
or not at all.. no rep gained from quest turn in.

Comment by MitchTJones

She's guarded by two Avengers, but EASY and QUICK SOLO for a level 56 Blood Elf Paladin... a Dredge Crusher even got involved, I barely lost a single health! But, looking for this NPC just follow the trail indicated above and you will cross her and her two guards... perfect for quests that need Encrypted Twilight Texts

Comment by Ritchey

If you are looking to farm mass amounts of texts you can use cross realm to farm these. It requires a friend or two accounts. All you have to do is hop around to different servers on one account then invite the other account. Then fly to the spawn locations and kill them if they are there. My best hour i got 300 texts.

Comment by pellmell

I fought and defeated the Twilight Prophet tonight, but observed some very unusual reset patterns from her.

At first I engaged her and her single guard and they seemed to reset if I pulled them too far from their patrol path. Okay, not too odd.

But after killing her guard, I would engage her alone and she would randomly evade and reset for no reason. It could happen at any time in the fight, and often happened when we weren't moving at all. I could ride right up to her and engage directly on top of her patrol path, and we would cast a few spells in each other's face, and then for no reason she would evade and reset (and immediately re-engage, as I was standing right there on her patrol path). Very odd behavior from the prophet.

My current theory is that it is some sort of time-based issue, because when I finally defeated her (the fights weren't taking very long, maybe 15 seconds), it was immediately after she had reset and re-engaged me. So, it leads me to believe that some sort of periodic something was causing a reset, but since I took full advantage that attempt by engaging immediately after a reset, I had enough time to down her before the reset came up again. That sounds like a stretch, but I don't have another plausible explanation.

Comment by 1348552

A lot of mention to using texts for rep gain. I can understand for at level characters, but if you are max level, go clear AQ20 and AQ40. Very easy solo clear and plenty of vendor loot for a little gold on top. You will make your rep grind much more productive. Obviously AQ40 can only be done once per week though. Just my two cents.

Comment by Lordofthefang

Gains
After killing this NPC you will gain:
10 reputation with Cenarion Circle (stops at Friendly)

This isn't valid for the Twilight Prophet, at least in version 6.0.3. I gained 30 rep with Cenarion Circle from killing her while I am honored with them. I have read that after Burning Crusade was released, reputation with Cenarion Circle was made a lot easier as players now migrated to Outland to level up, so this data may be as old as then, however I have no proof to prove exactly when this change occurred.

Comment by MURDERTRAlN

Easily Solo'd level 60 Demo Warlock now, was tough back in the day.

I killed her while farming essence of air, left to do LBRS and she was up again.
I didnt keep track of time but it had to be 20-25mins. She dropped 11 texts and then 9 texts.

Comment by rrrof711

Just took her out for dinner and she gave me; some change, 9 pages of twilight text that was complete gibberish, and a Vanguard Girdle. We ate some really good roasted quail at the most premier restaurant called "Le Twilight Post" at 5 in the morning. She really likes to go all night. She was coming from the south and we met just southwest of the restaurant. She spawned again a little less than 30 minutes later at 31, 61 and I tried to take her out again but as soon as i picked her up i got ambushed/hacked and my computer froze. May have been an overheated graphics card but i doubt it. She still looks skinny so I may try and feed her some more.

Comment by rivellangel

As of 7.1.5 although she is still low level, the bodyguards that travel with her are level appropriate! I was mining with an ungeared alt and was very surprised not to one shot them and even more surprised when the screen went grey and I was running back to my corpse...

Comment by Deltethnia

Unlike most of the rest of the Twilight mobs in the zone, she does not scale with level, however her two guards do and they will aggro on you if she is attacked/killed. She can also be a long way ahead of them on their patrol.
