If you get the chance, try to find Lady Vespia as she seems to drop the ring as well. I did this a a lvl 21 Rogue with no trouble at all. Lady V. was on her tod on the main shore by the island at 9, 16. As she was a lvl 22 it was a breeze.

Ruuzel patrols around the island 7,15 with two other naga guys.

Comment by Thottbot

You can find him at: 06, 14

Comment by Thottbot

I should note that I got the ring off of lady Vespia who was walking along the shore, immediately adjacent to the island.

Comment by Thottbot

Not only did she drop the ring, she dropped a green mail belt and about 65 copper and of course the usual clam (no pearl). Even better is not having to fight those annoying, linked naga on the island. Hard to solo that one but if you're careful, you can follow Ruuzel until she's alone. But Vespia, even if she's an elite, is not tough and not surrounded by casters.

Oh and did I mention 2550 XP at level 23? Not bad.

Comment by Thottbot

If they have a silver dragon around their potrait, they are named mobs. not elite. Elites have gold dragons. thats why she is so easy.. NOT ELITE...

Comment by Thottbot

indeed
grey dragon means rare spawn

Comment by Thottbot

Priest solo'd Ruuzel and his two buddies. If you get rid of the other naga on the island, then when his gang comes along, fear them, you should be able to kill Ruuzel easily epecially with your shield. Heal yourself and fight the other ones. (Or run away like I did and collect the ring when they leave.) btw..where is Vespia?

Comment by Thottbot

Cords are right, confirmed 06,14 not that hard to kill

Comment by Thottbot

As a 22 hunter I soloed the quest. I cleaned out a area of naga when Ruuzel and his two buddies came along I put my pet on Ruuzel and stood back and tagged him till he was dead. Then I ran to the other shore line while his buddies chased me. Soon I was out of their range and the ran back. I waited till they got away form the body...Ran back and looted it. Took me all of five minuted to complete the quest..Never even died once neither did my pet.

Comment by Thottbot

For hunters, setting a freezing trap works as well. I chose the northeast side of the island and cleared out surrounding naga from the shore. I had my bear out, and he held aggro really well so I was able to stay clear and shoot. Fighting two as opposed to three is a lot easier, and it didn't take too long to kill all three although I did almost die due to massive lag, my server is horrible lately.

I had tried this quest a few times in low 20's with my cat, and ending up dying every time. When I did it this time I was 25 and lvled to 26 during the fighting. Rather easy, and still yellow xp level for the quest.

Comment by Thottbot

Same thing as another user just hapened to me. I used to go to the island and get the ring from there but it was a pain in the butt at low level but this time I found that MOB Lady Vespia before you reach the island on the shore and she dropped the ring as well as a pair of boots . Easier.

Comment by Thottbot

Line up a pyroblast on the sea witch as she patrols past you such that it is max range when your cast completes. Immediately follow with a fireball. Sheep Ruuzel after the fireball. Finish up the sea witch with a fireball and a fireblast.

Re-sheep Ruuzel, frost nova to hold the myrmidon in place and kill him with fireballs/blasts. Re sheep Ruuzel after the myrmidon dies, bandage, evocate, mana shield and kill him.

Comment by Thottbot

Did this with a Lv 22 Mage while I happened to be in the area. After taking out Ruuzel I headed SE and ran across Vespia. I took out both nearby sea creatyres (whatever they were called) first and Lady Vespia had no chance. Easy quest, the only hard part were a couple of horde PvP hunters that were camping there taking out the quest giver whenever he respawned.

Comment by Thottbot

Ruuzel as you will see is protected by 2 body guards, dont bother going on the island - we cleared the area ready to take her , then decided we wouldnt be able to take all 3 and were returning to zoram strand to find some other quests, when we came across lady vespia, level 22 took her - and yes she drops the ring -- shes not on the island, but on hte shore before it.

Dont make more work for your self - just kill her for the drop.

Comment by Thottbot

As a 21 shadow priest Ruuzel was too difficult to kill all 3 at once so I had to kill one add, run away, kill another add and run away, and then kill Ruuzel. I should have looked for Lady Vespia first because I found her on the way back. Don't let your health get too low on Vespia because she does a frostbolt volley that does a lot of damage. Good luck. =)

Comment by Thottbot

I never saw Lady Vespia but killing Ruuzel wasn't that hard. You can find her roaming around the island. I am a lvl 20 hunter and had a lvl 21 priest with me. If your group just consentrates on Ruuzel then you can always come back to loot.

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest nets 2250 exp @ lvl 23

Comment by Allakhazam

sry but you guyz are wrong .. im lvl 21 and easied ruuzel with ease . freeze priest nuke ruuzel then nuke myrm , and after priestess . a pet is always nice to have. :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Headed out to kill Ruuzel..on the way going carefully after reading posts came across "Lady Vespia" at (cosomos loc 9,16) 24 Elite and she dropped the "Ring of Zoram"
Recv'd 2250Xp at level 24

Edited, Mon May 9 07:19:16 2005

Comment by Allakhazam

In case someone dont know this. Right before the Island where Ruuzel resides you can sometime find a mob called Lady vespia (pink color) (rare mob). I died first once at the Island with my hunter, but killed this mob on way back to land as I wanted to wait and lvl, and belive it or not, Ring of Zoram dropped. :). This may help people not able to solo ruuzel as its assited by 2 other mobs, unless u got a team.

Comment by Allakhazam

Did this solo with my 24 priest. Attack the priestess from distance and when Ruuzel and the myrmidon get on you hit fear finish priestess and run. Come back and kill myrmidon and ruuzel.

Surtt 24 NE Priest, Kel' Thalzud

Comment by Allakhazam

I went back to Talen and got this quest at level 27 as a druid, just for completenness' sake. Rooted the myrmidon (warrior mob) with her and then killed Ruuzel and ran off from the priestess. I was very surprised to get 2500 experience for completing the quest at such a high level.

Comment by Allakhazam

150 Rep with Darnassus.

Comment by Allakhazam

Lady Vestia at 9,16 on coast drops the ring. Simple kill. Why struggle at the island. Great prior post - thanks.

Comment by Allakhazam

Did this as a 22 rogue, stealth, ambush, kill him fast
run from the adds and get back to loot him :)

Comment by Allakhazam

What I did was approach the island from the south by sea. One Myrmidon stood alone due south on the island...the sea approaching his loc is empty. Kill that Myrmidon and waited for Ruuzel and her two friends to appear. First pull I used bear form and killed the Myrmidon that comes with her, turn after its dead and swim straight south with seal form. Ruuzel will turn quickly and flee, you may need a healing potion. Heal/med and run back in for the priestess and Ruuzel. I was able to kill Ruuzel the second time using spells and my staff, turned and fled from priestess in same manner as before. When priestess stops chasing, loot the ring.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ruuzel is almost always accompanied by a Wraithtail Myrmidon and a Wraithtail Priestess and attacking any one of the three will provoke them all. If you have to solo this, either be a few levels higher than the stated level of the quest or be prepared to make a kamikaze run, kill Ruuzel, and loot the Ring before you bite it. With a party, however, it shouldn't be terribly difficult.

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this one as a lvl 23 hunter - sent my pet over to the island, and when Ruuzel came for me, killed her fairly easily after hitting her with concuss and arcane shot.

Nothing else came with her, but I did wonder if one of the myrmidons in the water was buggy - couldn't send pet to attack him, and he 'evaded' all my shots.

Comment by Allakhazam

Confirming that Lady Vespia (rare spawn at 9.16) also got a chance to drop the ring. Much more easy because she has no adds.

Comment by Allakhazam

21 dwarf warrior, easy quest. cleared a battle ground for the group of three that are on the island of your map in the northwest. You can't miss it its the biggest one.

battle: Charged ruuzal, popped stoneform + retaliation, strike, demo shout and bloodrage. Hamstring for good measures and worked thunderclap in there. Killed all three before I hit half health.

hope this helps.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ruuzel is at Coords: 6.12. On the island. she walks with two guards so careful.. Ruuzel is lvl 22 with a lvl 20 and 21 guard.

Comment by LadyJessa

Got this on 22 priest. Balked when i saw three, but with a fear i could quickly burn her to 50%.

The adds came back and begin to trash me so i fled and kept dotting her; they tethered and reset and i was able to finish her off solo.

Comment by Wimbleton

If this hasn't been said before, do not die on the island or anywhere near it. The nearest GY is on Mars and you'll have to wait for the next inbound Mars Rover to get a ride back to Azeroth.
OK, I'm kidding. It's actually in one of the suburbs of Shanghai; three plane changes and eight time zones away from Ruuzel.

Ruuzel is apparently tethered, as is one of her guards, the Myrmidon. The Sea Witch isn't, so you can pull her away and kill her first. Then kite Ruuzel away from the Myrmidon and you're done. LadyJessa (below) is right - she is tethered but will follow you if you keep hitting her. Don't forget to clear the trash first and don't loot them until you've killed Ruuzel.

I saw Lady Vespia years ago (2005?) but haven't since. I hear she's working Vegas now.

Comment by Rostkebab

Not possible to solo as a 23 mage.

Comment by hiattp

I found it difficult as a 25 feral druid. I ended up rooting the Myrmidon on one side of the island then running over to the other side. Killed Ruuzel then ran away and came back to loot.

Comment by wowcataryn

I cleared that island twice and no sign of Ruuzel at all. I checked the forums and saw that Lady Vespia drops the ring, but no sigh of her either.I dropped the quest and went over and reaquired it, and still no sign of either mob. Maybe the patch we had on Tuesday killed them.

Comment by YungGnome

23 rogue here, it was easy although it's worth noting that I had decent gear and poison on both swords.

Popped Evasion, started going ham on Ruuzel and tanked all 3. Killed Ruuzel in a matter of seconds, looted the ring then Vanished.

Comment by Mike21daisu

If you come across Lady Vespia, who is located at 12, 19, she can also drop Ring of Zoram. I killed her myself on my lvl 22 paladin and got the ring on my first try. Not sure if the drop chance is guaranteed from Lady Vespia, but I'd give it a try, after all, she is a rare mob and you have a high chance of getting a green item.

Comment by Feyd2

I'm a level 23 Enhance Shaman with AH greens and elixirs and potions for my level. I soloed this but it took 2 tries. Careful the walk back is very very long and mobs will despawn before you can loot the quest item. First clear an area to allow for runners. Kill the caster first and interrupt as much as you can. I don't think it matters what you kill next, but I killed the ques mob 2nd. I let them run away since I could just kill them when they came back. The first mob you should save up any closer to try and avoid the run away since the caster can hit you with range. I had to use a Greater Healing potion. I'm sure there are some classes that can do this easy but as a Shaman this is how I did it.

Comment by AnexRavensong

Was surprisingly easy for a 21 rogue. Sap one guard and wait for the other two to walk off. Kill that one and repeat until she is alone.

Comment by r3fusetox

a pink coloured rare naga dropped it for me in som named lady vespia

Comment by Ranadicus

Ruuzel is on a 6 minute respawn timer and can be separated from the two guards if you pull immediately on respawn before the guards become aware of their surroundings.

Ruuzel

Bring the Ring of Zoram to Talen near the Zoram Strand.

	Ring of Zoram (1)

Description

I fear the ancient statuette's secrets will remain forever hidden unless you find the key to its ancient lock.

That key is a ring, the Ring of Zoram. It belonged to the rulers of this city before the waves of the Sundering drowned it.

For years the ring was lost, but the naga have recently found it.

Their leader, Ruuzel, dwells on an isle on the northern edge of Zoram. Please, <name>, retrieve the ring for me!
