Problem with return to karazhan nightbane farming

Today I completed the Return to Karazhan with the idea of farming for the Smoldering Ember Wyrm. I know you need to collect the soul fragments to unlock the boss Nightbane which I did earlier.

Here is the guide I followed " Upon opening the door as soon as you enter [Return to Karazhan] the text “The strange chill of a dark presence winds through the air.” is announced, beginning the time limit. From here, you must reach and click each soul fragment before time runs out:

  • 8 minutes to defeat the [Opera Hall] event and reach the first soul fragment in the audience, refreshing the duration of the buff, !().
  • The 2nd fragment is in the Guest Chambers before the [Maiden of Virtue]) (only boss that is not required).
  • The 3rd is behind [Moroes])) and his guests in the [Banquet Hall](.
  • The 4th is in the spider-infested area of the Servants’ Quarters.
  • The 5th spawns after defeating [The Curator]]().
  • After this, the buff ![() will be applied. Next head to the Master’s Terrace and speak with the [Image of Medivh]( to access Nightbane.

If time runs out before collecting all the fragments, “The air grows slightly warmer” will be announced."

However I didnt get the buff today to indicate I can talk to Medivh. I was super fast as im a level 60 ilvl 140 paladin.

Am i doing something wrong? Is there a new guide for it that’s correct? Is the mount still available?

I haven’t done it recently, but I will bet you missed picking up one.

I did it maybe 8 or 10 times, and on three or four, I missed one even though I knew the way. Once I didn’t get the message, I still had time to go back and pick it up, as I was already there, though.

I got the mount maybe a month, or just over, ago.
Did you set Dungeon difficulty to Mythic? That’s a requirement.
I assume you did though, I guess the buffs don’t even show if you don’t.
The guide looks correct. Did you go and see if Medivh was there?
I’ve always killed the maiden when doing it, never thought to check if the crystal was there without killing her tbh.

I just did the run, all crystals in good time, no buffs or medivh spawn. Did it the same way i always have, and all the other times it worked, so it’s not a matter of routing or missing any objectives, the event is straight up broken/bugged right now or removed without any information about it (which i doubt).

@Grainne Thanks for the response. I’m fairly sure I didn’t miss one.

@ Marokas That where it went wrong. I started with mythic and failed to get to the curator in time.

Second time was on heroic where I completed it. Didn’t realise it had to be mythic.

@ Apolleon Thanks for clarifying I didn’t get the wrong information.
