The Worst Class Quest - Call of Water (How To get the Water Totem Classic)

Whoever made this quest is a sociopath.

I hated class quests

Bro the lvl 20 succubus quest as an alliance player is pretty comparable if not because of distance but because of the amount of ghost runs youre probably having to do since everywhere it sends you to is horde territory, if its a pvp server it will probably take longer than this one tbh.

Most of this video is bs. I mean you can just take FP from Taurajo to OG. From Ash to Taurajo and talk to the npc. You never had to run through Barrens like explained. It's a long chain tho.

Wish they kept class quests in general just modify them

This quest is ridiculous

this quest has been pretty fun on warmane ngl

If WoW had the FFXIV model where you had one character who could be any class at any time, then I think class quests would have stayed and been expanded on. As it stands though, with WoW almost expecting you to have alts of every class and sometimes multiple of the same class, I think it just became too annoying to reclear class quests like these every time you leveled a shaman just so you can get your water totem

Ye just dont play shaman basically, this is stupid.

Ah the shaman quests, Call of Fire and jump in the river.

The mount quest line for warlocks was way worse

well no wonder people were able to explore so much in Classic. You get lost VERY easily

Class quests are one of those things that you remember fondly until you go back and actually do them again. Then more time passes and your stupid ass remembers them fondly again.
It's kinda weird tbh.

Vietnam flashback.

fuck no I don't miss this quest, I just had to do it for the first time on a wotlk private server in the year of our lord 2022. I was up all night to get this damn totem. We were in un'goro crater before I finally got around to doing this because I couldn't be fucked when I saw I had to run to hillsbrad, then my soul shattered when I realized it was an 8 part quest. Holy shit am I glad to be done with this, thank god I can finally have mana as a resto shaman.

i`m curently doing that shit quest and YT recomended me this video...now my morale is low af

or just drop down from the back of the sepulcher

It's not actually the second but the third.

Man, the air quest was so lackluster compared to this adventure they sent you on. After this water quest really expected something huge for the air totem and it was nowhere near as impressive. Class quests added a lot to the game by adding to the fantasy of your character.

just made me miss vanilla WoW even more.

In all honesty I miss all class quests and activities, even these tedious ones.

It really helped with immersion, class fantasy and class lore.... if anything they should have expanded on them and not remove them entierly.

I still remember how you had to spend hours as a rogue traveling the world leveling lockpicking and poison proffesions. But then at high levels you could earn money by lockpicking other peoplea boxes and many people didnt invest in it so it was relatively rarw to habe high lvl lock pick. There were these areas out in the world with tons of locked practice lockboxes spawned where you were supposed to lvl up lockpicking.

I felt like a big boy doing this, but I remember I almost gave up finding the secluded water elementals spot.

It’s not that bad if u don’t stress it i usually just the different parts when I pas by and have it by lvl 40-50 usually, I find it pretty shitty anyways till u have some totem talents

This was what made WoW fun.

people arguing that running for hours was fun and immersive, just remember that Outward is a thing and everyone hates it because of how long it takes to get anywhere, you liked these quests because you were young and had a fresh brain + the time to do all this, not because it was any fun

@hirumaredx Wasn't the water totem already the third totem shamans got? Earth at level 4 and Fire at level 10?

I actually did like this quest, as it made me discover many zones I didn't know before. Quite immersive.

People might see this quest as annoying now but before, these kinds of quests that makes you travel a lot are really amazing!

Remember back then, its your first time playing an MMO as good as WoW. The details of the maps, the music etc. Even if you travel through a zone back and forth for 10times, youd still be amazed and how amazing the zones are, not to mention back in those days, everyone is sociable, while doing these quests youll get the chance to talk to different people you meet along the way and such.

It sucks now because everyone just wants to rush to end game and start raiding.

drank one water sapta to see the elementals but islen wont give me one

i mean you dont run for the most part you fly except for tarrens mill obviously.

And people wonder why I didn't like Classic WoW.
Quests are like "Hi, I'm hidden at one end of the world, sending you all the way to the other end, sometimes not telling you who you need to talk to or see what you really need to do, due to arbitrary writing. Then come back all the way to me so I can say "No, not what I want, now go get another one in another zone. Not telling you where, just telling you you need to go to another end of the world to do something.

Oh, you got my thing! Thanks, have a fake dollar bill. you can trade that in for a few nickels I think."

MegaMan Battle Network for the GBA had a ton of optional quests like this, but the only reason those are tolerable was because they gave you actual, substantial rewards, like keeping what you found or giving you stat-improving stuff. WoW just give you a raincheck on a reward, after you do some chores.

doing it rn

i miss the concept of class quests(i mained warlock) but not the tedious nature of having to trek halfway around the world to finish them.

You have to travel the world to be in touch with the elements my guy

I think the Alliance aquatic form quest is way worse. The shaman one presents no life-threatening hazards, whereas that one has you swimming through fatigue zones

There is actually a secret path behind the Sepulcher that will let you get to the water totem area, you don't have to follow the coast line from the north.

Kinda surprising the earth totem didn't involve running to Eastern Plaguelands and Un'Goro

second totem you learn is water? pretty sure that's fire. earth-fire-water-air

I appreciated this quest at the time because it sent me through tons of places I hadn't been before and prepared me for where to go next after the Barrens. After I had my water totem I ended up staying in Ashenvale for a while cause I was sick of deserts and the Alliance players I met were actually an appropriate level for me to fight as well cause they were there to quest as well and not just to kill lowbies. If that was the intention behind the quest design then it did its job well.

Just watched this made it alot easier then when I did it in vanilla .. it took me 3 days maybe longer checking thottbot x300 times and kept gettin stuck killing the water elemental I cudnt find him took me days find a way to the coordinates.. kept trying get over the mountain in different ways haha

i finished this quest yesterday. god, that was awful

That quest was a awesome adventure man people these days bitch about everything and forget what this games purpose was..

You've obviously never made the run from Darnassus to Stormwind as a L1.

Still remember doing this one.

The quest designer was an alliance player for this quest

Unpopular opinion I know but this quest alone made me quit classic 🤣 I looked it up and said : no way I'm doing this shit 🤦😆😆😆

2nd totem is the fire one. Call of Fire not call of water. Thats the 3rd
