Attention pour les Guerriers Fureur !

Si vous "mourrez" dans ce scénario et qu'Odyn vous donne une "seconde chance", vous serez quand même téléporté dehors par Oculeth. Donc vous ne pourrez pas vous venger, et vous mourrez en face de vos coffres sans pouvoir revenir pour les récupérer. Vous devrez ressusciter au gardien des âmes parce que votre corps n'est pas accessible, et vous aurez fait tout le scénario pour rien. (Comme moi qui vient de gâcher 20 minutes o/)

Objectives:

Kill mobs. (this will give you score and more reputation with Souffrenuit at the end)
I don't think you need more than 400 score, because after 350-400 score you will get 4 Tablette arcanique de Falanaar and that is maximum you can get from a single run. I got 4 Tablette arcanique de Falanaar for the run with 370 score and for run with 804 (i bugged this one i think;p Full clear max score is around 600-675)
Keep as many withered alive as you can. This will give you loot from chests.
You will get no extra credits for unused Withered, so use them all on chests.
Forget about this after you collected all the chests and just make fast reputation runs
Scenario ends when you have no withered in your army or when you die

Beginner's guide: You need to be carefull. It is NOT a speed run. Your withered army should take no damage.
This will be hard at first

Interrupt every spell you can.
Don't let Withered run in fear.
Collect all chests at the very end of the scenario if you can.
If you feel that it is too hard for you with your current gear, then collect 1-2 chests per run
Keep as many Withered as you can with you. The more you have the more dps you have.
Tount from Berserker if you have it
You cannot heal the withered

Here is demo video of the run with 804 score and 45 Withered survived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6EOn72XMPw
Here is fast 10min full run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19enCcKtCo4

Your withered have 2 modes
1. Chaos ! DPS and agro everyone they can find. Will not follow you and stay in the area.
2. Suivez-moi ! Follow you and try to dps only your target. They will agro mobs sometimes, but not intentionally.
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=50s
You will start with some number of withered and you can get more inside the scenario.
Most of them are just green NPSs in random locations. Sometimes they can be inside a cocoon
Tip: Enable Friendly units Nameplates so you don't miss them
The maximun number of withered i got was 56, but probably you can get even more
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=2m35s
You can hear several whispers:

You withered will get lost if you leave them behind!
This means, that you have to wait for you withered or that you forgot to turn Chaos ! off
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=29m19s
One of the withered is running away. Catch him before he is lost in the tunnels!
This meens that there is a withered with fear animation above his head and you have to click on him. If you can't click fast enough, you lose 1 unit in your army.
Demo: https://youtu.be/y6EOn72XMPw?t=39m40s

Room by room guide:

The next part is for complete first-timers, you don't need to kill all the mobs and you can rush this scenario in 7-10 minutes if you want to.

Room 1 Entrance room
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=1m
Here we have Ame en peine volatile in the center and some Traînard flétri on the sides.
Recommendation: Kill sides first and then nuck Traînard flétri with Chaos !
Ame en peine volatile spells:

Interrupt Munition arcanique
On low hp it will cast Explosion instable .Use stan or kill fast.
Room 2 Requires 2 berserks to open
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=32m57s
There are several packs of Ame en peine volatile. The largest has 3 Ame en peine volatile in 1 pack. There are also some number of Arcana libéré and Traînard flétri, but they are irrelevant
The hardest room, but the good thing is that you will need it only once, because after you get chest from this room there is no point to go there.

There are pack of 1 Ame en peine volatile near the entrance, 1 patrol, pack of 2 Ame en peine volatile on the left and pack of 3 Ame en peine volatile on the right
Recomendation: Don't use Chaos ! in this room. only when you have last pack of 3 Ame en peine volatile.
Room 3 Lapillia miniboss Requires 10 withered in your army to open
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=3m49s
Kills trash Arcana libéré and Traînard flétri first.
This room has 1-st miniboss Lapillia
And she casts Mitraille cristalline on her target.
If you got the debuff after Mitraille cristalline, run away from your army. The debuff will explode after 3 seconds
You can stan here and interrupt the cast.

This room has Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el 10 men chest in it.
Room 4 has 2 floors
Demo: https://youtu.be/Sdo2mGoRZXg?t=6m17s
3 new mobs: Jeune araignée éclat-dorsal, Glisseuse éclat-dorsal and Demoiselle de cristal. All of them are just trash.

Be carefull here, don't tank mobs in the middle near the stairs. You withered can jump back and he probably will agro almost everything on the lower level.
There are Ame en peine volatile on the left and right part of the upper level.
1 Ame en peine volatile is patroling the center. Recommend to kill him first, before you enter the room.
After you killed the patrol, kill sides. Run to the wall, wait for your withered to come near and agro Ame en peine volatile. Same for the other side.
You don't need to go down if you already have the 5-men chest from there.
If you want to go there, kite 4 Demoiselle de cristal from the center and then go down.
There is nothing special on the lower level. Simple spider packs, can aoe them

After this room there is 10-men chest in the corridor and you have to jump to get it.
The problem is, that you can stuck there. I don't know is it intentional trap or just a bug, but be carefull
Here is demo: https://youtu.be/y6EOn72XMPw?t=47m45s
I know that DH can easily get out with double jumb and Paladin can get out with charger speed boost. Probably other classes also have their ways out.
You can get Masque de sorts d'Azsylla from this chest
Room 5 Traqueur tellurique Dro miniboss area
This area is simple We already seen most of the mobs, There are some new spider-like trash in the area. You can easily aoe everything, but be carefull and expect Traqueur tellurique Dro miniboss to spawn in the middle of the fight and kill you) Yep he is the hardest boss in this scenario. He can spawn on any pack in this area. It is random, but you will hear the warning "–Look out!". He drops Clé de Dro and you need it to open the 2-nd part of the scenario.
Demo: https://youtu.be/y6EOn72XMPw?t=20m

Stun him and nuck with everything you have and Chaos !

Impotant. Keet at least 1 free slot in your bag,because you will get key on your mail if you dont have a free slot

This room has 2 10-man chests, but you can't take them both in 1 run, because you need to take Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian first to see hidden chests.
And 2-nd chest has Disque du mande-étoiles
Room 6 Gardien de la couvée Phyx miniboss Requires 10 withered alive
This is simple fight with Gardien de la couvée Phyx miniboss
Room 7Seigneur spectral instable miniboss Requires 10 withered alive
Usually at this point you will have 30-40 units in your army and this room can be cleard fast with Chaos !, but if you don't have the units, try to clear sides first and then stay away from your withered. Interrupt and stun as much as you can
Here you can find Masque de sorts d'Alla'onus
Room 8
You don't need to clear this room at all.
Let the mob in the middle come to you and the gates will open.
This room has Heaume de berserker de Taenna chest
Room 9 Furog le Briseur d'Elfes miniboss
He is not hard because at this point you have lots of units in your army, but he has Piétinement and you should try to stun him. Chaos ! helps alot in this room.
Room 10 The final boss Jeune araignée psyliche
Boss is easy, but the road to him is kinda tricky. There are 2 ways of doing it.
This boss spawns small spiders and you can stop this by hitting the boss. But you need to run ~100-150 yards to him.

Way 1: Just run as fast as you can and forget about withered running in fear. Dont collect new withered
Way 2: Use Chaos !, take the stairs up and use Suivez-moi !. After your withered came to the 2-nd floor use one more time Chaos ! Repeat 2 times

Pre-scenario info:
This world quest will be available once you have done Lever une armée quest. ~ 40 quest in main Suramar storyline.
It has 3 days respawn time. It will always respawn in 3 days. It has more like weekly respawn timer, but instead of 1 weak, timer is 3 days.

Ancient Mana farmspots
You need Mana ancestral to start this world quest.
You will get Pierre de divination de mana from Shal’Aran, early in suramar storyline and will be able to collect mana from items on the ground.

The best farmspot for me is Suramar city. Collect Twice-Fortified Arcwine (100-150 Mana ancestral in 1 item, Leypetal Bloossom (30-60 Mana ancestral) some gems and so on. I think this place after honored is the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdPyhhe9aLI Will update this part later with more info.

Paquet teinté de mana from Faveur du cherche-mana is also nice option after honored

You can get Gemme de mana ancestrale or Cristal de mana ancestral from AH. here is a list of all items that you can get from quests/rares/treasures: Cristal de mana ancestral

Ancient Mana manapool
You can start this world quest with 400 Mana ancestral but more mana will give you more units. And i recommend you to start with as many as you can. The only limitation is Mana ancestral manapool

400 Mana ancestral - 8 Exilé flétri
650 Mana ancestral - 10 Exilé flétri
900 Mana ancestral - 12 Exilé flétri
1300 Mana ancestral - 15 Exilé flétri
2000 Mana ancestral - 20 Exilé flétri

The problem with Mana ancestral is that you have limited manapool and you need to progress in Suramar story to get manapool of 2000. +500 manapool ~40-50 quest in main suramar storyline so before Lever une armée and +500 manapool after honored

Tip: collect 5 items that increase your Mana ancestral manapool by 500 more

Loot
You will see chests that require 5 or 10 withered. Picking the chest will reduce your army size by 5 or 10.

How to choose Chests.
I think it doesn't matter right now, because if you can finish the scenario with 20-30 withered alive, you will be out of chests on your 3-4 run... So it's like 1-2 weeks max. And you can get up to 55 alive(maybe more) in 1 run. so it's like 55% of all chests.

Item Chest size Note
Boîte de murmures calmants 5 Withered more efficiently focus their attacks
Éclat de tellurium apaisant 5 Reduces the chance that your troops will run away when injured
Cristallin de Qin'dera 5 +25% damage
Mort-boyaux millésimé 5 +25% damage (Got Artifact power instead of this item)
Soie tissée pétrifiée 5 +25% HP
Linceul imprégné d'élixir 5 +25% HP (Got Artifact power instead of this item)
Masque de sorts d'Azsylla 10 Enragé de mana flétri
Masque de sorts d'Alla'onus 10 Enragé de mana flétri
Heaume de berserker de Taenna 10 Berserker flétri
Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el 10 Berserker flétri
Disque du mande-étoiles 10 Mande-étoiles flétri
Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian 10 Sort-voyant flétri
Rejeton de ligne tellurique 5 pet
Bassin de mana ancestral 5 toy
Coffre de banque de voyageur 5 Bank in Shal'aran

No matter how bad you run was, you will always get big chest at the end. The differance is in number of Tablette arcanique de Falanaar. I don't really know is it based on score or bosses killed, but max Tablette arcanique de Falanaar i got was 4 for run above 500 score. Even for my run with 1000 score i got only 400 rep

After you collected all the chests you still have a reason to run this scenario because it gives 425 reputation with Nightfallen and because you can get a toy. Here is a list:
Feu follet en bouteille
Poudrier instable
Cristal de focalisation des magi
Globe lumineux kaldorei
Pierre de méditation et de déplacement
Arcano-douche
Bassin de mana ancestral
Œufs d'araignée tellurique
Œuf fal'dorei

Commentaire de Extremity
Edit #2: Maximum score for ALL MOBS killed, every room, even locked ones, is around 715. The final 3 mobs do respawn and you can use this to "cheese" your score higher, but the max rep is around a score of 400-425. Once you have every chest there is no reason to do this aside from rep, so you can safely just start with 12 or so withered (or whatever youre comfortable with, but no need to spend 2k mana), get to a score of 400, and suicide. I'm finishing a run right now with 55 withered (no chests to get) and a score of 724, every single mob cleared.

Edit: Some people on beta have been saying this is a daily quest, but from my beta experience it isn't. I've had it pop up no sooner than 2 days after prior completion, although the first time I was given this quest I was able to do it again immediately after, which is usually the case any time you do a daily for the first time; the first time is usually a normal "gold exclamation" quest, and on completion the "blue exclamation" quest unlocks and can be done again; after your first completion, I'd expect this every 2-3 days. I could be wrong and you could get lucky and get it every day, or maybe it's even intended to be that; all I know is that as of now, on beta, it's about every two.

--------------------------------------------

By spending Ancient Mana, you can determine your initial "army" size. Your run through the area ends when you die or run out of withered troops. As you progress, you will find chests that require Withered to "open"; a large one is 10, a small 5, etc. These troops are ported away with the chest and are gone.

You may be tempted to only grab large chests, which do have the most reliable reputation and other items, but do keep in mind there are items limited to small chests, such as the one that gives you personal bank access in Shal'Aran.

After each run, your chests can contain items that PERMANENTLY upgrade your army (such as increasing their max HP) or individual units, such as permanently upgrading one unit at a time to a Berserker or Mana Rager.

Edit: These chests are in LIMITED SUPPLY! There is a finite amount of rewards that can come from chests (both regular and large) and as you get rewards you will find less of them. Eventually, once you have obtained all available rewards, there will be no chests remaining in the run. You will continue to find the small chests that you can open on your own (that contain ancient mana, potentially bloods, etc) but the chests requiring withered to open will no longer be present. At this point, the run is purely for Nightfallen reputation; the maximum amount is 425 (For me at least, completed run w/ 55 withered). Once you reach Exalted, there is no point to this run anymore unless you are a class that finds a hidden artifact within it.

Cap your mana before starting this, every time. There is absolutely no reason you should ever start this with anything less than the absolute most mana you can spend.

Further edit: I cannot stress enough how important it is to delay opening chests! Do not open them as you first see them. Instead, make a mental note of where they are and continue on. When you reach the end of the run or have gotten as far as you are comfortable, THEN backtrack and open as many chests as you want. There are SEVERAL doors in the run that require 10 living withered to open; on top of that, more withered simply makes the run easier. Having 25-30 withered for Dro and 35-50 withered for the later bosses is an *incredible* damage boost; you do not want to have to do them with only five. Once you've gotten as far as you can or are willing to go, you can safely grab whatever you want; remember that there is no reward or additional score for ending the run with withered active, so you want to dump as many as you can.

Keep in mind that avoiding chests until the end is only a waste if you die. Make sure that you really pay attention to me saying "go as far as you are comfortable". If you haven't done a certain boss yet and don't have a tremendous amount of withered with you (and aren't in a desperate hurry for reuputation) it might be wise to go open chests at that point leaving yourself a reasonable (10 or so) amount of withered to attempt the boss with. This way if you die it's not a complete loss. Remember that all bosses can be stunned, and many of them need to be to avoid army losses; Dro will dart around attacking your withered, which is the best time to stun him. The second-to-last boss will pick up a withered and... "consume" them, which is a great time to stun them as well.

This quest is not spawning for me. I completed this on launch night (30th) before anyone else in my guild, now multiple people have gotten a second (or even third!) scenario. Any clue why i'm not getting the quest (I only got it once)

Commentaire de bitehattori
This quest is almost exactly like the Overlord series.
Like the Overlord games, you command your mini army to attack or stay or pick up a chest to carry it back to base and you lose how many the chest requires. So search well, pick up the big chests!
You can also decorate your minions with gear that you find in the chest and they get new abilities!

Now if only we could have that little gremlin sassing us while we fight.

Commentaire de maceacjo
Hate this already. Lots of trouble pulling and the withered die so easily. I spent 900 Ancient Mana and with a score of only 110 and all my withered dying before i could get a chest my only reward was 88 copper. Felt awful :/

Commentaire de AtmaChaos
Important note: you cannot heal your troops.

You have a buff that shows how many withered you have, and how much health they have on average. If you try to heal them, their health will slowly go down to the percentage shown on your buff.

I guess it would've been too easy for hybrid classes otherwise ;)

Commentaire de samuraiveru
Ok - I died inside. Supposedly I needed to be transfered to the final stage. Instead, the loading screen took a while. After that, I showed up dead at the graveyard. I saw these messages in my log:
- You have been removed from the group
- You do not meet the requirements for the chosen dungeons
- Transfer Aborted: instance not found.

Now Im dead, and cannot recover my body anywhere (theres no spot to go to get it, the one in the map is not working) And im sure I lost the loot!

Commentaire de kalutillidan
Kind of a dumb thing but I thought I should mention it.

Logging out before talking to the person to start the scenario is not safe. It will port you out, take all your ancient mana and not let you retry.

Uhm do not open the door nor pull the elite after turning left for the first time - just lost my whole army of 16 troops.

A note on possibly getting stuck behind some crystals (yes this happened to me tonight, was not happy). It will feel like you cannot get out at ALL.

Commentaire de qwerty31
I decided to try doing this quest with just 8 withered so I didn't have to farm up a bunch of ancient mana. I had 1 Withered die and I was locked out of doing anything else because I couldn't open either door after the first room. Really not worthwhile. I'm definitely going to do this with way more in the future.

Commentaire de Leouch
So far it is sad joke, Withered tends to go to melee range and stop attacking and take dmg from aoe.

Commentaire de sushibar
Hmm, And I've just been using the army scenario to dump excess mana so I can keep skinning my kills in Suramar.

Small Tip.
Do NOT Shadowmeld Night Elves. Dropped all my withered and kicked me out :(
I'd assume it'd bug out if a rogue vanished too.

Commentaire de 1354229
Nice quest, spend about 30 min carefully going through after using 2000 mana to start with 20 withered, I clear everything inside (apart from the 2 berserker requirement room) and have 46 withered. I collect 4 glimmering chests, 1 normal chest and am on my way out, when suddenly I'm kicked back to the character select screen. I log back in to find myself in the graveyard with nothing, and the quest gone. Nice bugged quest. Wouldn't recommend even bothering before this, and the plenty of other bugs that break the scenario, are gone, it's not even worth your time.

Commentaire de thorborn
Be very careful with being too far away from your army. I was right at the end of the scenario with 38 withered alive and well, when the entire army just randomly despawned in a few seconds, because they apparently were "too far away".

Also do not attempt to kill the spiders on the webs above the main room (where you can see the sky), as the withered army will get stuck in combat, or randomly despawn due to teleporting to enemy and thus triggering the "too far away" message.

Commentaire de timo4545
Do you ever start with more withered? After moving through the quests more?

Because I start with like 8 and can't really do anything with them.

Commentaire de RemnantRex
Just completed this scenario for the first time today. Full run except for the 2 berserker door, just got my second berserker today so in 3 days I'll be able to full clear. Figured I'd share some tips, might be common knowledge but maybe they can help.

Always take the maximum amount of withered your cap can afford. More withered = more damage!

There is no time limit! Take your time, control your pulls to the best of your ability.

Your role is the General of your army, the withered will be the bulk of the damage, keep this in mind as positioning and CC is of the upmost importance.

Bring a stun! Can't stress this enough. If you have to spec into one, do it. Interrupts are also extremely important, if you have to switch into a spec that has no artifact power to get these, that's okay. Your damage isn't as important as these.

Don't use mobility! If you get too far away from your army some will start running away. Also, they have a chance to run away after taking damage. When one runs, prioritize stopping them as long as the mob you're fighting doesn't need to be stunned or interrupted.

The zone ability will berserk your withered and cause them to do 75% more damage. However they will run amok while berserked. They also have a higher chance of being feared while berserked. To combat this, don't rush head first into a room, try to pull mobs to you and berserk your withered in intervals. I find 8-10 second intervals to be the sweet spot.

Don't grab chests until your done with your run. Make notes of what chests you've passed as you progress. If you've seen a 10 and two 5 chests, you know you'll need at least 20 withered to pick them up. If you get down to 22 withered, it's best to stop the run. You'll unlock withered upgrades as you progress making further runs easier allowing you to progress further.

A mini boss named Dro will randomly spawn about halfway through. He'll spawn right on top of you. He has a charge where he charges multiple times through your army. You can stun him out of this, chances are he'll get at least one full charge phase off, this is devastating for your army. If you've taken your time up to him your army's health should be 90%+ and you shouldn't lose any withered. Dro will drop a key that allows you to further progress through the scenario.

You will eventually make it to a room with a spider and tons of eggs in it. After killing the spider another door will open. No real trick for the spider, just try to keep Aoe down as the eggs around him will bust and a bunch of little low health adds will spawn. Try to avoid berserking your army in this room, they will run amok and bust all the eggs.

After the spider room, you'll face the elfbreaker. Don't be intimidated by him. He's fairly easy, just try to pull him away from your army and interrupt and stun what you can. You'll notice a non stop stream of spider adds, nothing you can do to make them stop. Ignore any new troops in this room, after killing the elfbreaker head straight for the stairs.

Going up the stairs is a nightmare. Your withered will stop and fight every spider they see. The spiders will not stop until you get to the next boss. Just try to make it up the stairs asap. You don't have to engage the final boss to make the spiders stop though. Once to make it to it at the top the spiders will stop spawning. Now you can go back to the elfbreakers room and grab the extra troops.

The last boss was a pushover for me, I did have 43 withered with me so we pretty much deleted him. I did stun and interrupt a couple of things so I'm not entirely sure what's his abilities were.

Your basic priority for this scenario is:
Don't open chests until run is over > stun/interupt > catch running withered.

That's all I can think of right now, hopefully someone will find something useful in my wall of text, lol.

Commentaire de jjanchan
I've compiled a little guide to help those coming to this scenario with no foreknowledge. It's designed to be complementary to varenne's excellent post, and I won't rehash too much of what is in that post - in some cases I have fleshed out a little of the content and made things more clear.
I've also organized the information in a way that is hopefully intuitive.

I've written this post mostly because there is information in here that I wish I knew before I did my first few Withered Training sessions!

Author's Note (aka Why isn't this a guide?)

My intention is to make this information into a guide at some point. However, at present real life commitments don't allow me the time to do so. With regards to guides, there are a couple of points I take into consideration:
I consider a guide to be a comprehensive source of ALL (or nearly all) information on a topic. It should be comprehensive, topical, and detailed. If you look at my Artifact Weapon and Legendary guides, I'm sure this will be reflected there. As such, I would rather NOT write a guide than make one that is only piecemeal and mediocre.
To make this into a full-blown guide, there is still a lot of information I would have to gather, and resources I would have to flesh out. This includes some videos of the runs, which I have not done in the past. This is a project I would like to tackle in the future.

As it stands, hopefully this "mini-guide" is useful to you!

What is Withered Army Training?

Entraînement des Flétris is a special World Quest Scenario in Suramar, associated with Souffrenuit faction. The first time you do the scenario will be via a quest that is part of the overarching Suramar story questline - Lever une armée. After you complete this one-time quest, you will get access to the World Quest, Entraînement des Flétris, roughly every 3 days in Suramar.

This is the Legion equivalent of the Citadelle du Roi-tonnerre scenario from Mists of Pandaria for those who remember that.

Why do I want to do this scenario?

The biggest reason to do this scenario is for reputation with Souffrenuit. You can get a maximum of 425 reputation + 50 for the World Quest (not factoring in any reputation buffs you might have).
You need 8000/12000 Honored reputation to unlock the attunement for the Mythic-only dungeons L’Arcavia and Cour des Étoiles.
Two of the Class Order Hall set pieces are unlock via Nightfallen reputation (Gloves at Honored, Shoulders at Exalted)
Faveur du cherche-mana is a shoulder enchant available at Honored with Souffrenuit, and gives the chance to obtain enchanting materials, potions and flasks from mobs killed.
This faction otherwise offers 2 Toys, 1 Pet, and various Rank 3 crafting recipes for Jewelcrafters, Tailors and Enchanters.

Other rewards include:
Item level 810+ Gear
Artifact Power (minimum 100, but can exceed 800 without factoring in Artifact Knowledge)
Sang de Sargeras
8 Toys, exclusive to this scenario
A pet, exclusive to this scenario - Rejeton de ligne tellurique
A permanent bank access point in Shal'aran (via Coffre de banque de voyageur)
Mana ancestral (a lot more is used up for the World Quest than is gained, but the scenario still replenishes a bit of your spent currency)
Ressources de domaine
Order Hall follower upgrades
A rare chance at Invitation déchirée, the quest item to obtain Rênes de rôdeur de Llothien

Finally, certain classes will get their Hidden Artifact Appearance from this scenario. Note that these are not 100% drops, and are typically available in the guaranteed chest at the end of the scenario:
Anima des âmes grouillante - Blood Chevalier de la mort
Poing-de-Tempête - Windwalker Moine
Etincelle de l'exarque déchu - Protection Paladin

How much does the scenario cost?

The very first time you do the scenario (via the Lever une armée quest) there is no cost. The World Quest requires a minimum of 400 Mana ancestral, with a maximum of 2000 Mana ancestral. As outlined by varenne, the more mana you invest, the more Exilé flétris you get in your army, which is important (as explained below).

When you first start out in Suramar, you have with a mana pool "cap" of only 300, and upgrade it via various looted items and by completing quests in the Suramar storyline (which is quite extensive - see here).

How does the scenario work?

This scenario puts you in an instanced version of Falanaar. There is no time limit to the scenario, and you can take as long as you want.

There are two elements to this scenario:
The score - this score corresponds to how much you kill during the scenario, and will translate into what kind of loot you get in the big guaranteed chest at the end.
Your current score will be visible at the top middle portion of your screen.
The extra chests - scattered throughout the scenario are chests of varying sizes. You can obtain a number of these in addition to the guaranteed chest you receive at the end.

The Exilé flétris in your army act as both a boost to your damage dealt (as they will attack your target) and a "currency" with which you can obtain certain chests.

The 3 types of chests are:

Small Treasure Chests - these are the most numerous chests, and do not have any requirements in order to open them - simply loot as many of these as you see for things like Mana ancestral, Gold, and sometimes Sang de Sargeras
Treasure Chests - these are the "medium-sized" chests, and require 5 Withered to "carry". Note that "opening" these by interacting with them and selecting the menu option will immediately remove 5 Withered from your army, and will transport this chest to the rest area for you to loot at the end of the scenario.
Glimmering Treasure Chests - these are the "large-sized" chests, and require 10 Withered to "carry". Like the medium chests, will immediately remove Withered from your army (in this case 10), and will transport this chest to the rest area.

The implication of the medium and large chests above is that opening these chests will leave you with less Withered for the remainder of the scenario. This is why it is often recommended you clear as many mobs as you can (for a higher score) then go back and open chests.

The other important point about the medium and large chests is that they are one-time only chests. What this means is that any "Treasure Chest" (requiring 5 Withered) or "Glimmering Treasure Chest" (requiring 10 Withered), WILL NOT appear in any subsequent runs once you have looted them! This means that once you have looted the medium/large chests from all of the known locations, future runs will give you only Small Treasure Chests.

That being said, you will have all of the upgrades for your army once you have exhausted these chests. Note that you can only get 1 of each upgrade - you won't be able to loot duplicates (which makes sense, as a specific chest will disappear once you have looted it in a run).

An additional point is that each Glimmering Chest (the large, 10 Withered variety) and Treasure Chest (the medium, 5 Withered variety) has specific, fixed loot. Each location will give the same loot for anyone - this means you can target specific chests to get the upgrades you would like first. See my Room-by-Room Guide and list of large/medium chests below for details.

How do I change the size of my army?

As aforementioned, the size of your starting army (for the World Quest version) is determined by the amount of Mana ancestral you invest at the beginning (a minimum of 8 Exilé flétris for 400 Mana ancestral, to a maximum of 20 Exilé flétris for 2000 Mana ancestral). For all intents and purposes, there is no reason you shouldn't be investing the maximum amount of Mana ancestral your mana cap will allow.

The more Withered you start with, the more damage you do, which is a big part of succeeding in this scenario. Additionally, the more Withered you have, the more chests you can haul out of the scenario!
You will have a buff that tells you how many Withered you currently have, as well as their average health.

Gaining Withered

Throughout the scenario, you can add further Withered to your army as you find them - there will be some of theses friendly NPCs that you can recruit simply by clicking them.
Some of these are in the web-wrapped cocoons, so it's worthwhile opening these any time you encounter them. Note that any cocoon-wrapped Withered you reveal will despawn after a short time if you do not recruit them!

Losing Withered

There are a few ways you lose Withered from your army:
Getting killed
There are mobs in the scenario that will do AoE damage to your Withered via certains spells, unless stunned or interrupted. In addition, individual mobs can kill off your Withered individually. It's important to note that while you may tag every enemy, these mobs have a propensity to turn and beat on your army, almost as if they had been taunted. This makes stuns and other CC quite useful, as well as knockbacks. It also makes it important for you to kill your enemies quickly! Because there is no time limit, it's possible to make small pulls consistently so that your Withered are taking as little damage as possible.

Any damage that a Exilé flétri takes is permanent. Attempts to heal it up will appear to work initially, but after a few seconds the healed HP decays and returns to the previous value.

Being frightened away
Any time a Withered takes damage, there is a chance it will run away in fear. When this happens, you get the warning "One of the withered is running away. Catch him before he is lost in the tunnels!" You have only a few seconds to chase down and click this Withered, or you will lose it from your pool.

Being outrun
It is possible for you to outrun your Withered army; if you go too fast and don't let your army catch up, you run the risk of losing your entire army (or a big chunk of it) in one go!

What can my army do?

Your army has two modes - Suivez-moi ! and Chaos !. By default they are on Suivez-moi !, but can be switched to Chaos ! when you activate the Extra Action Button.
Chaos ! is a great way to nuke down larger mobs or bosses.
Chaos ! makes your army run around willy-nilly in a small area and aggro anything they encounter. As such, it is highly advisable you clear all the lesser trash in a room before activating this to nuke a bigger target.
You can switch between the modes freely by pressing your Extra Action Button.
Make sure to switch back to Suivez-moi ! before moving into a new area, so you don't leave your army behind!

When does the scenario end?

The scenario ends when you:
Lose all of your Withered army
Take a killing blow (which doesn't actually kill you, but ends the scenario as you are rescued by First Arcanist Thalyssra)
Reach the very end of the scenario, and speak to Chief Telemancer Oculeth, selecting "Send me home"

At this point you are transported to the rest area. Here, you can open the guaranteed chest, the contents of which vary based on your score, as well as any other chests you may have grabbed by "spending" Withered to carry them out for you (the medium and large sized chests).

An important note is that leaving the scenario prematurely for any reason, logging out, hearthing etc. will eject you from the scenario and will NOT allow you back in until the World Quest respawns in 3 days!

How should I approach my first few runs?

This part is practical advice for first-timers.

Your very first run will be via the quest Lever une armée. You will have a fixed army size of 8 Withered to begin with. Your goal for this run should be to get 1 or 2 medium chests (the ones simply designated "Treasure Chest"). These require 5 Withered each to carry out, so to get a second one you will need to recruit a couple more Withered if you can.
Your very first run is free - you only have to start paying Mana ancestral when you do the World Quest. As such, it's not optimal to be capped on Mana ancestral when doing this the first time, as you will have chances to pick up mana during the scenario and should have space for it.
Do this scenario in tank or DPS spec; tank is better if available, and your self healing isn't great as a DPS.
Your aim should always be to manage small pulls. Perhaps you are a class that can solo a lot of content, and pulling large groups and AoE damage is a strength of yours; I would still recommend you refrain from this and play it safe, as the goal is to not only survive but to ensure that your army stays alive and healthy!
Most of trash you encounter are standard Withered hostiles and spiders that are prevalent in Suramar. The one mob to be careful with is the Ame en peine volatile - large pink elementals. These have two potentially dangerous spells:

Munition arcanique (2.5-second cast) - throws an orb that does AoE damage. This cast is interruptible, and should ALWAYS be interrupted somehow.
Explosion instable (4-second cast) - this is an AoE explosion that the wraith will cast when close to death. To avoid this you must either stun it at low health or nuke it before it completes the cast.
Make copious use of Chaos ! when dealing with these mobs.

If you feel like you've emptied the area and can't find any more mobs, you may have missed a side entrance. Go through the first room to the T-intersection; turn left and go down the stairs, then when you reach the door, turn left again - this area will open a lot more chests and mobs for you.

After finishing the above quest, you should get the World Quest shortly after for a second chance at the scenario. This time, you will have to spend some Mana ancestral.
If you are ambitious and have the time, try to enlarge and fill up your mana pool as much as possible before tackling this. The more Withered, the better your attempt will go. This means tracking down all of the upgrade items (see varenne's post for details) and/or completing as much of the Suramar questline as you can before starting the scenario.

The World Quest sticks around for 2 days before expiring, giving you some time to do so.

While some people may be able to pull off full clears on their first run, I would highly recommend that your goal for the first few runs is to net as many medium sized chests as you can (the 5 Withered variety, "Treasure Chests"). What you are looking to net are permanent upgrades to your Withered army that will make ALL future runs go more smoothly! These include (but are not limited to):
Boîte de murmures calmants
Éclat de tellurium apaisant
Cristallin de Qin'dera
Soie tissée pétrifiée

Until you have some of the above upgrades, I would not advise going too far into the ruins. I had the misfortune of unexpectedly running into Traqueur tellurique Dro; he has 25+ million health and wreaks havoc with your army. He also hits pretty hard (at least of a non-plate wearer). The first time I encountered him, I died without looting any chests, and that feels like a real waste.
Under "General Information and Tips" below, I've made up a priority list of upgrades to get, so you can aim to get the best upgrades earlier.
Traqueur tellurique Dro will randomly appear once you reach a certain point in the scenario (past at least 3-4 chests in the ruins) - there is no way to see him before he appears, or predict when this will happen!
You can see the maps I've made below to see where Traqueur tellurique Dro will spawn - there are enough chests before this that you don't have to venture into that territory for your first runs.
Obviously, your mileage may vary based on class, spec and experience. In general, I found it worthwhile to play it safe and get some of the upgrade items, then aim for more extensive clears later on.
For more ambitious clears, check out the videos varenne has worked hard on. One of these is of an 800+ score run, which goes for nearly 75 minutes! Keep in mind that his army had most if not all of the permanent army upgrades already.

To follow this strategy, simply clear mobs as you go, and keep track of Treasure Chests you encounter. Once you have cleared enough of the area to reach the chests that you can afford with your Withered pool, open them up.
If you have a few Withered left (not enough to open another chest) you can go deeper into the ruins and see how much higher of a score you can net. Your DPS will be much lower without a large army, but this ensures that you have at least set aside some chests should you run into trouble.

Presumably, the rewards from your guaranteed chest (which are based on your score in the scenario) cap out at a score of 425; achieving a higher score than this seems to provide no further benefit.

TL;DR - Don't worry too much about score for the first few runs. You can net a decent score, but focus more on getting some of the early chests. These will make your future runs much better.

Below I have a couple of sections that can help:
Room-by-room Guide is a detailed explanation of each room and notable mobs and chests.
Optimal Route will tell you where to go - see this section for the areas you should clear and chests you should gun for on your very first run(s).

Room-by-Room Guide

Below are two maps I created to outline where everything is in this scenario. Note that not all chests may be represented - this should cover the majority though (there are hidden chests, which require the upgrade Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian to see, which I have not listed here)

Temple of Fal'adora
Falanaar Tunnels
Map External Link
Map External Link

The following guide will outline only mobs that have some specific abilities to watch out for - standard trash mobs are not mentioned.

There are two levels to this scenario - the Temple of Fal'adora (Upper Level) and the Falanaar Tunnels (Lower Level). The maps above correspond to these levels.

Spell types:
Interruptible - means any standard spell interrupt will work (Cisaille de vent, Coup de pied, Volée de coups, etc.)
Non-interruptible - means that you need a non-standard ability (stun, knock-back, etc.) to interrupt this.
Instant - no cast time to interrupt; using a stun can prevent this ability if anticipated.

Pertinent Notes
All doors requiring Withered or Berserkers to open will NOT consume those Withered when you open them - you just need to have that many in your army to pass those thresholds.
It is best to open any doors you come across as you see them, even if you don't plan to go into those areas yet. Any doors opened will remain open for the remainder of the scenario.

This is especially important if you plan to go into room past the "2 Berserker" door. It is highly likely that your Berserkers will die deeper into the scenario, so if you do not open that door initially, you likely won't be able to come back and do so later.

The following section is a room by room description, to tell you where everything is. Further down I have an step-by-step optimal route to take - jump down to that if you are already familiar with the room locations, etc.

Temple of Fal'adora (Upper Level)

Room 1
Mobs of note: Ame en peine volatile

Munition arcanique (Interruptible)
Explosion instable (Non-interruptible) - casts at low health
Corridor

Right door - requires 2 Berserkers, Room 2

Berserkers are obtained from 2 permanent upgrades from the Large (Glimmering) chests. These are Heaume de berserker de Taenna and Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el.
These helms are obtained from chests #6 and #1 respectively.
Mobs of note: Ame en peine volatile
These wraiths can be found in packs (up to 3) making AoE stuns/silences extremely important.
Contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (A)
Left door (bottom of stairs) - requires 10 Withered, Room 3

Boss: Lapillia (37.41 million HP)

Mitraille cristalline (Non-interruptible) - puts a glowing circle around the target (hopefully you!); after 4 seconds, explodes doing AoE damage. Simply move away from your Withered if you get this debuff.
Éclat projeté (Interruptible) - Single target damage
Contains 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#1) with Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el inside.
Ramp into ruins of Falanaar

Found at the gap in the wall to the left when facing the 10 Withered door.
Room 4

Mobs of note: Ame en peine volatile
Some of these patrol back and forth; tag them and pull them individually into the ramp tunnel, and use Chaos !.
Be careful in this room - it has two levels, with lots of trash on both levels. It is very easy for your army to accidentally pull mobs from below. Heavy AoE may be required.
Contains 2 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chests (B - on the upper level, and C - on the lower level in the alcove underneath the stairs).
Descent into Falanaar Tunnels

Just before going down the ramp into the tunnels, there is 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#2) with Masque de sorts d'Azsylla inside.

Falanaar Tunnels (Lower Level)

Bottom of ramp - Room 5

Mobs of note: Ame en peine volatile
Pull these and other packs of mobs back into the descent tunnel to kill them individually
DANGER - After this room (as marked by green circles on the map) Traqueur tellurique Dro can appear!!!

Boss: Traqueur tellurique Dro (25.98 million HP)

Lames éblouissantes (Instant) - Charges around, attacking your Withered, and gains 300% attack speed for 5 seconds afterward.
Transfert orphique (Instant) - Similar to a Pas de l’ombre.
This boss is stealthed, and will appear when you wander into his aggro range.

He doesn't appear to move around very much if at all - so you are more likely to wander into him rather than trying to wait for him to patrol.
He can be revealed with Vision spectrale (Chasseur de démons).
First Arcanist Thalyssra will remark "Look out!" when he appears.
There are a number of ways to kill him; if you have stuns available, a pet to tank him, and heavy burst damage (e.g. Furie sanguinaire/Distorsion temporelle/Héroïsme) you can nuke him before he kills you.
Another method is to kite him with slows and whittle him down, if you have good mobility and slows at your disposal. Be sure not to outrun your Withered though!
It is most important to kite him immediately after he uses Lames éblouissantes given his attack speed buff.
Chaos ! is absolutely essential to help kill him quickly. It is important that you are in a room you have already cleared of trash before using this - hence, kiting him back a ways is advised.
He drops Clé de Dro, which is required for a door later in the scenario, granting access to the second half of the instance.

This key is removed from your inventory after you exit the scenario - as such, you have to kill Traqueur tellurique Dro each time you want to use the key.
Circular Hallway 1

Contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (D)
You may be able to open this chest without pulling Traqueur tellurique Dro.
Midway through this hallway is a rock pile leading up to some webs. You can cross the web "bridges" to move your way up the stone ruins, but there are only 1 or 2 Small Treasure Chests there.

If you want to do this, it is best you do so later after you clear the room below - or else you may fall and end up aggroing the whole room.
With a large Withered army, there is the possibility that some may get "stuck" and despawn when moving among the narrow web paths. Proceed at your own risk!
4-Way Intersection

After exiting Circular Hallway 1, there are 3 ways you can go. Going straight will take you to Circular Hallway 2

Left/Southeast (Door) - requires 10 Withered, Room 6

Boss: Gardien de la couvée Phyx (46.77 million HP)

Expansion de la couvée (Non-interruptible) - spawns many small adds. If this is successfully cast, simply AoE them down.
Griffes pourfendeuses (Interruptible) - cleave damage. Should be interrupted.
Contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (E)
Right/Northwest - Room 7

Mostly light spider/Faldorei trash
At the far end of the room is a door requiring 10 Withered to open.

Inside is 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#3), which contains Disque du mande-étoiles.
You will also find 3 friendly Withered you can recruit inside this room.
Going south and up the stairs from this area will lead you to Circular Hallway 2
Circular Hallway 2

At the west end of this hallway is 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#4), which contains Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian. This is just outside the door that requires Clé de Dro to open.
At the east end of this hallway is a door requiring 10 Withered to open. This leads to Room 8.
Room 8

This room has some mobs with bigger health pools. It's ideal to pull them out one by one and take care of them.
Mobs of note: Sorsoie fal’dorei X 4 (9.15 million HP each)

Cast Malédiction de soie, which reduces haste.
There are 3 of these grouped up behind the boss (Seigneur spectral instable). If possible, drag the boss out of the room and eliminate him outside, then come back and deal with these remaining mobs.
Mobs of note: Dévoreur fal'dorei X 2 (13.51 million HP each)

Standard melee attacks.
Boss: Seigneur spectral instable (25.98 million HP)

Identical mechanics to Ame en peine volatile, just bigger and badder.
Munition arcanique (Interruptible)
Explosion instable (Non-interruptible) - casts at low health
Contains 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#5) with Masque de sorts d'Alla'onus inside.
Dro's Doorway - requires Clé de Dro, west end of Circular Hallway 2

Head down the stairs until you come to Room 9 on your right.
Room 9

Mostly trivial trash spiders around edges (just lots of it!). Lots of eggs that hatch spiderlings.
Sorsoie fal’dorei X 1 in the center.
Stay outside and pull trash out of the room to handle it in smaller packs.
Contains 1 (large, 10 Withered) Glimmering Treasure Chest (#6) with Heaume de berserker de Taenna inside.
The door in the opposite direction (leading to Room 10 and Furog le Briseur d'Elfes) will open once you kill the Sorsoie fal’dorei.
Room 10

Mostly scattered trash mobs
Boss: Furog le Briseur d'Elfes (46.77 million HP)

Saisir le flétri (Non-interruptible) - will pick a Withered and deal heavy damage-over-time to it.
Piétinement (Non-interruptible) - deals 15 yard radius AoE damage and a knockback.
It is highly advisable you pull this boss in the tunnel you have already cleared, as there is a countless stream of spider adds that enters Room 10 from the south.
Contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (F).
Stairs to Psyliche

Mobs of note: Jeune araignée psyliche (Endlessly spawning)

Venin de jeune araignée (Instant) - stacking poison DoT.
There are two flights of stairs up to the last boss, Psyliche, with a landing in-between. This portion is a gauntlet, as there are an endless stream of Jeune araignée psyliches coming down the stairs constantly.

The spiderlings only stop spawning when you reach the top of the second flight of stairs.
It's best to keep up AoE as you're moving up the stairs; keep moving quickly though, or you will become overwhelmed!
The land between both flights of stairs contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (G).
Room 11

Boss: Psyliche (46.77 million HP)

Jet de toile (Non-interruptible) - puts a number of webs on the floor. Simply avoid them, as they will slow and deal ticking damage.
Room 12

After defeating Psyliche, there is a little trash left before Room 12, in which you will find Chief Telemancer Oculeth. You can speak to him at any point to end the scenario.
Contains 1 (medium, 5 Withered) Treasure Chest (H).

Treasure Chest (Medium) Contents Summary

Optimal Route

Temple of Fal'adora
Falanaar Tunnels

The above maps show how I have numbered the rooms

Below is a route you can take through the scenario. I've optimized this route to try and recruit as many Withered as you can into your army before tackling any real challenges (bosses).
I've written this assuming you have read the room-by-room breakdown, as I will be referring to rooms cited there; I'll also mention some landmarks as I go so you can try and use the maps to follow along.

Note that if you have a score of 425 or more, you can stop at any point and open chests that in areas you have already cleared. There is no benefit to a full clear unless there are certain chests you are targetting.
The room-by-room summary (above) lists the contents of each medium and large chest.

TL;DR: 1 → 4 → 5 → 3 → Circular Hallway 1 → Circular Hallway 2 → 2 → 7 → 6 → 8 → 9 → 10 → 11 → 12

Clear Room 1.
Go to the T-intersection. Open the "2-Berserker" door but don't go down that way to Room 2; instead go down the left staircase.
Open the door to Room 3 (with Lapillia in it) if you have 10 Withered, but don't go in. Go down the ramp to the tunnels (Room 4).
Clear the Room 4 top area of mobs - pull each Ame en peine volatile into the ramp hallway so you can safely use Chaos ! on them.
Clear the Room 4 bottom area if you plan to go after Chest "C" or just for score - it's fully of easy trash mobs.
Proceed down the ramp to the Falanaar Tunnels and Room 5.
Clear Room 5, but DO NOT go any further (into Circular Hallway 1) yet.
Once you have cleared the above, you should have recruited a bunch of Withered into your army. Now head back to Room 3.
If you already have Cristallin de Qin'dera and Boîte de murmures calmants, OR you have 25+ Withered, proceed to Step 9.
If this is your VERY FIRST run (i.e. if you were doing Lever une armée and only started with 8 Withered), this is where you should stop and grab some chests.

Go for Chest "B" first. This will contain Cristallin de Qin'dera.
If you have 5-9 Withered left after this, you can:

Go for Chest "D", in Circular Hallway 1. It has a little bit of trash near it and there is a small chance you will pull Traqueur tellurique Dro when going for this chest, but it contains Boîte de murmures calmants, which is a HUGELY useful upgrade.
A safer, but less useful goal is to go for Chest "C" in Room 4. This contains Coffre de banque de voyageur, that will set up a personal bank in Shal'aran.

If you have 10-14 Withered after opening Chest "B", go for Chest "C" then Chest "D".

Clear the edges of the room, picking up the few Withered there. Try to avoid prematurely aggroing Lapillia, but it's not the end of the world if you do. Kill her, using Chaos ! to burn her down. Move away from your army if targeted with Mitraille cristalline.
Head back to Circular Hallway 1 and start clearing it. Note that at any point from here on, Traqueur tellurique Dro can appear.
After you reach the 4-Way Intersection, clear the area of the two Ame en peine volatiles, one-by-one. Open the door to your left (to Room 6), but don't go in yet.
Hey up the stairs to Circular Hallway 2. Open the door to your immediate left (Room 8), but leave it for now.
Clear Circular Hallway 2. Head down the stairs at the end to the west end of Room 7. If you haven't encountered Traqueur tellurique Dro yet, he will be in Room 7.
Clear the trash on the west end of the room and open the door blocking Chest #3. Grab the 3 Withered in that little alcove.
Work your way through Room 7, clearing it and collecting the extra Withered, if there are any.
Head up the stairs and forward into Room 6, where Gardien de la couvée Phyx is. Clear the trash in the front of the room, and then tackle Gardien de la couvée Phyx. Be sure to use Chaos !. Prioritize interrupting Griffes pourfendeuses, and stun during Expansion de la couvée if possible. AoE down the adds if Expansion de la couvée is successfully cast.
Next move out and back into Circular Hallway 2, and then into Room 8. Tag the lone Sorsoie fal’dorei/Dévoreur fal'dorei mobs and pull them into the hallway. Next tag the boss (Seigneur spectral instable), and interrupt it to pull it into the hallway. Use Chaos ! for each of the previous. After taking these out, move into the room and AoE down the 3 Sorsoie fal’dorei with Chaos !.
At this point you may have 30-40 Withered, and it may be a good time to go back and tackle Room 2
This room has packs of 2-3 Ame en peine volatile, which makes heavy AoE and AoE silences/stuns/knockbacks a real asset to ensure they don't do any major damage before they die.
You can go back and clear this room at any point; ideally you want to do so with the largest possible army, as it is probably one of the toughest rooms in the scenario.

Go back into Circular Hallway 2, and head to the west end. Open Dro's door, and head through and down the stairs, clearing trash as you go.
You will see Room 9 on your right. Stay outside the room and pull mobs out, killing them in small groups. Many of the mobs in this room will automatically come out to you. After killing a certain amount of the trash in this room, the door to the left (across from Room 9) will open.
After clearing Room 9, head down the hallway to Room 10. There should be a couple of Withered in this hall that you can add to your army.
Next pull Furog le Briseur d'Elfes into this hallway when he patrols close enough. Burn him down as fast as you can, watching out for Saisir le flétri and Piétinement, stunning him to interrupt both if possible.
After this boss is dead, move into Room 10 and clear it out. Be aware that spiders will constantly keep moving down the stairs into this room.
After clearing the room and collecting some extra Withered, you must run the gauntlet on the south stairs out of this room. This involves two flights of stairs with constantly spawning Jeune araignée psyliche adds, that will easily overwhelm you if you stay in one spot.
A strategy that can work is to use Chaos ! to clear mobs of spiders, then move up the stairs and use Suivez-moi ! to gather your Withered to you. When the Jeune araignée psyliches build up again, switch to Chaos ! to clear them, move up the stairs some more, switch to Suivez-moi ! mode, rinse and repeat.
The spiders will only stop spawning when you engage Psyliche at the top of the second set of stairs.

Psyliche casts Jet de toile; there is no need to stop this, simply avoid standing in the webs or pulling your Withered through them.
After defeating this boss, there is some trivial trash left, then you have cleared the scenario! Now you can go back and choose the chests you want to carry out.

Preparation

As mentioned above, tank and DPS specs are best for this achievement. Your talents as a healer are completely wasted in this scenario, as you can only heal yourself - your Withered cannot be healed up.
When choosing talents, choose ones that emphasize AoE damage, and if you are able to get extra stuns/knockbacks/interrupts, those will be VERY useful.
Make sure to use consumables - food buffs (see here for an overview of Legion foods), potions and flasks (Flacon des dix mille cicatrices, Flacon des innombrables armées, Flacon du pacte murmuré, Flacon du septième démon) can help your runs go much smoother.
Potion de soins antique can be a HUGE boon in this scenario - it's great for getting out of tight situations.
You should ALWAYS obtain the Maîtrise des lignes telluriques buff from Arcaniste Valtrois in Shal'aran - granted when you feed her for the daily Nourrir Valtrois quest, but also available from her by speaking to her at any point, for a meager 10 Mana ancestral. A single proc of this will recoup the mana you spent to get the buff - just make sure to stand in the Leyline Rift!
The Protection de la Première arcaniste, obtained from Première arcaniste Thalyssra, should now work in the scenario, as reported by some users. My experience has been otherwise, and it's possible that sometimes it will trigger and other times it won't. It's best to not have to rely on it.
If you need extra Mana ancestral to get a higher Withered count and do not have the time/inclination to go farm it, keep in mind that Cristal de mana ancestral and Gemme de mana ancestrale are tradable, and will be available on the Auction House.

General Information and Tips

There a number of rooms in this scenario, with a number of bosses that can be tackled. I have listed some maps and a breakdown of the bosses you will encounter for your convenience.
As aforementioned, ALL large and medium chests are in FIXED locations - this means you can target certain items by looting chests selectively. See the "Room-by-room" section for a complete list.

A rough "priority list" of items to obtain (should you be hoping to make future runs easier) are as follows:
Soie tissée pétrifiée (Chest B, 5 Withered)
Éclat de tellurium apaisant (Chest D, 5 Withered)
Cristallin de Qin'dera (Chest F, 5 Withered)
Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el (Chest #1, 10 Withered) and Heaume de berserker de Taenna (Chest #6, 10 Withered), in any order.
Boîte de murmures calmants (Chest A, 5 Withered)
Masque de sorts d'Azsylla (Chest #2, 10 Withered) and Masque de sorts d'Alla'onus (Chest #5, 10 Withered), in any order.
Disque du mande-étoiles (Chest #3, 10 Withered)
Everything else!

The two doors you initially encounter close to the beginning require A) 10 Withered and B) 2 Withered Berserkers. Opening these doors does not consume or remove Withered from your army like chests do - they are simply prerequisites to go further.
As my maps show, there are a number of other doors further in the instance. Other than the one door requiring Clé de Dro, the remaining doors require at least 10 Withered. If your aim is to go deep into the tunnels, make sure you don't dip below 10!

The Berserkers required to open one door are available via permanent upgrades that are found in the large (Glimmering) treasure chests - namely:

Heaume de berserker de Taenna
Heaume de berserker d'Ondry'el

The chests these are available from are listed in the room-by-room guide above.

Once you have Berserkers in your army, you will notice that they are some of the first Withered to die. This is because they have the tendency to taunt mobs and tank them.
Other permanent army upgrades that are looted from the large (10 Withered, "Glimmering") chests include:
Masque de sorts d'Azsylla
Masque de sorts d'Alla'onus
Disque du mande-étoiles
Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian

Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian appears to not be working properly. After you obtain it, you will not see any further "hidden" chests within the scenario; therefore it is a largely useless upgrade at present. You can therefore skip Chest #4 (see maps in the "Room-by-room" section) and go for other ones.

Don't forget that time is not a factor - you can wait for DPS cooldowns, on-use trinkets, CC etc. to come off of cooldown, and in some cases it may be worthwhile to wait on Furie sanguinaire/Distorsion temporelle/Héroïsme for a particularly nasty boss.
Small Treasure Chests can be found throughout the scenario
These are all over the place - be sure to look in corners, crevices, alcoves, behind boulders/debris, by doors, behind larger chests, etc.
If you stay in the instance long enough, these WILL respawn, so keep an eye out!

To improve the rate of reputation gain, don't forget reputation buffs. The reputation from the scenario is granted in the form of tokens (Tablette arcanique de Falanaar and Vestige des Arcanes de Falanaar) which can be saved and used once any reputation buff is up.
Note that some of the following buffs stack:
WOUHOU !, available by riding the carousel during the Darkmoon Faire or the Haut-de-forme de Sombrelune (can be used anywhere while the DMF is active, but does not stack with the carousel buff)
Visage sinistre/Soulagé, available during the Hallow's End Holiday Event
L'Esprit du partage, available during the Pilgrim's Bounty Holiday Event
Diplomatie, one of the human racial abilities

There are certain abilities that will boot you from the scenario - avoid using these! This includes Camouflage dans l'ombre and Feindre la mort, and possibly Disparition as well.
If you happen to get disconnected during the scenario for any reason, try and log back in as quickly as you can - there is a chance you may still be in the instance when you get back in, if not too many minutes have passed (this is something I experienced firsthand).
Unfortunately, if it does take too long, it seems that getting disconnected will boot you from the instance, with no loot and not way to get back in until the next time the World Quest shows up.
As such, if your connection is temporarily unstable or prone to disconnecting, it's best to wait until you can have a more reliable connection before attempting this scenario.
If you carried a chest outside with Withered, but did not loot it for any reason (e.g. got disconnected before you could open it), it will be respawned the next time you do the scenario, so you can get it then.

After you have obtained the chests beyond Room 10, there is NO reason to go into those rooms again and kill Furog le Briseur d'Elfes and Psyliche. I have found that you lose more Withered than you gain by doing those rooms/bosses.

How do you bring 400 Ancient Mana to Thalyssra? I have the mana, did the training run, but there is no option to give her the mana.

Commentaire de Lilyi
Note that the 'auto-proc on death' effect of Retribution paladins' Divine Intervention does NOT work in Withered Army Training. Your divine shield will not trigger, and you will fail as if you had died.

I got to learn this the hard way by attempting to use it as a dps cooldown (going all out on damage and ignoring my health) on Leystalker Dro with 25 withered alive at 90% health and Dro below half.

Tip for killing Dro:

If you want to kill Dro easily, you can pay Thalyssra 50 mana to get Ward of the First Arcanist.

The buff will stay on you in the instance and when your health hits 1 and the shield pops up, Dro will charge into you until he dies.

Today (15.09.) I completed scenario with 52 withered exiles and while I was clearing whole area I did not see any of medium/large size chests. I ran back and forth 2 times to check if I missed something and there were none of those. I don't know if they stop spawning after you unlock all of those enhancements for your army or not but I would appreciate to know if anyone else had this issue.

P.S. - At the end of scenario I could only loot the big chest which contains ancient mana, gear and rep tokens.

For all Fury warriors: Watch out with Gaze of the Val'kyr. If you get your "second chance" after they are getting you out, you WILL die. Releasing after dying will kick you out of the scenario. There is no way to reclaim your body nor your rewards. I lost 6 chests and a score of 643 today.

I'd just like to throw my two cents in for tips for new players!

Map of loot locations - Not my thread, so linking to original post instead of just the picture :D
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/51dcoj/i_have_made_a_map_for_the_wither_training/

-Demon hunter Vision spectrale sees Leystalker Dro in stealth from quite a distance, he ALWAYS spawns in the large central chamber, every time I've seen him SO FAR it has been on the southern upper walk way. HE WILL STILL ATTACK RANDOMLY after you engage mobs anywhere in that central chamber. Even though he was up on the walkway (southern one), and I checked multiple times taking my time to specifically keep an eye on him waiting for Vision spectrale he still attacked me after I was attacking some mobs down below in lower central room. So if you can find him, perhaps you should clear what you can and purposely pull him and kite him back so you have room to enrage your army! (I'm going to try this on my next run in a couple days, and will update how that went)

-Webbed Victims, if you break them and it spawns a withered, I have had it DESPAWN because I got in a "longer" fight with one of the mini bosses. EDIT: Tested this, they despawn in about 60 seconds.

-In Falanaar Tunnels, the South West circular room (73 67.4 where the second Berserker Chest is) If you just poke from the door for a while all the big guys will come to you, including the center one, makes clearing eggs etc much easier to snag the withered there. Not sure if this was just a bug or what, but my first 4 or so runs did this perfectly, but since then I have been unable to reproduce it.... fixed I suppose?

-If you can spec for a another stun or interrupt, it will be amazingly useful on some fights even with perfect pulls throughout.

- First run ever (Minor Updates) ------getting VERY lucky with withered spawns I have managed to get up to 20 on a first run only clearing Temple of Fal'adora (minus the 2 berserker room) the first hallway in Falanaar Tunnels and Brood Guardian Phyx's room, but don't count on being so lucky :P pushing past that greatly increases the risk of an early Dro encounter and wasting the opportunity for upgrades to make future runs smoother-------

You can really only make so much progress with a limited army you get to start with, I screwed up multiple runs getting my army completely ransacked by Dro or Furog the Elfbreaker trying to see how far I could get. My advice here is to just take your starting army and slowly work your way until you reach the fear reduction item Éclat de tellurium apaisant at the start of the central chamber in Falanaar Tunnels.

Starting with 7 withered, you ideally want to try and rack up 15 total, avoiding going down into the lower central room, or the upper southern pathway of the central room of Falanaar Tunnels if possible (you can use jjanchan's Falanaar Tunnels map as a reference, MULTIPLE times I've seen Dro standing atop the southern upper stairs with Vision spectrale the stairs going up past Brood Guardian Phyx). That leaves only the starting hallways, the door you need 10 withered to open, and the small side room of the central area in Falanaar Tunnels with Brood Guardian Phyx (contains the Bassin de mana ancestral if you look at the map I link at the start of my post)

As soon as you get 15, stop, go get the Éclat de tellurium apaisant and the Heaume de berserker de Taenna (from the 10 withered room) and call it quits for that run. The reduced fear is huge because I've had so many boss fights where I spent more time running around trying to click a withered than actually fighting/interupting/stunning. The Berserker we want because goal of the second run will be the other berserker box & Cristallin de Qin'dera, and third run the Boîte de murmures calmants

My reasoning for this is that Dro will likely obliterate a large portion of your army because you have so few and a lot of your damage comes from them. Setting goals for your runs in this way help to limit runs where you lose a ton of troops and come home with little or nothing at all.

If you are feeling very ballsy have some good gear and are playing a high burst class with, preferably, multiple stuns, or heroism (do drums work? need to test that :P) then you can make the push past Dro, and get to Furog and call it a day there, your ultimate goal being 20 withered. By this point you should have more than enough points scored for the 4 Tablette arcanique de Falanaar max reward, and if you hug the left wall very sneaky like, you can jump the broken pillar and make your way around to the medium chest there containing the lovely Cristallin de Qin'dera, then GTFO and grab the other two chests I mentioned for reduced fear & the berserker.

Final Notes Since, as other people have pointed out, a score over 400? 425? (I'll have to test exact number one day) doesn't really do anything as that gets you the highest end chest reward, don't push further than you need to each run, there is no point in going for the last boss (Psillych) if you aren't going for the chest past him.Same thing with Furog the Elfbreaker. The #1 goal of your first few runs should be getting the key upgrade items to make your army stronger for each run after your current, the difference they make is phenomenal.

Did two videos specifically for this scenario 1 is for your basics 101 and the 2nd is a boss guide if anyone is having problems kill Dro, the Elfbreaker etc. Hopefully these help you out as this scenario (especially when you're first starting) can be very annoying and frustrating.

Remember guys 400 points = Max Rep
Grabbing medium and large chests = Upgrading your minions and giving some toys.

Observe and explore your surroundings just because there is a door with a boss in it doesnt mean you need to fight them at that exact point.There might just be more withered down the hall that can help you against the boss. The more you have to your ranks the faster you will complete this dungeon with ease.

Some side notes I've found is I could only have a max of 2 Berzerkers and 2 Mana-Ragers. 1 buff for max hps 1 buff for max damage and 1 buff to help withered focus on your target rather than smacking everything in the room.

Sooooo if the 5 and 10 chests don't respawn and you didn't get all 8 toys and the pet after getting all the chests once, you're basically forced to grind this up on other chars, or can these toys be gained from the endchest aswell?

A tip for fellow priest.

Every mob including bosses in the scenario except for Furog the Elfbreaker can be mind controlled.

You can put your army to Mayhem! and repeatedly mind control any bosses until they die.

You can also use the mind control as an interrupt to the Unstable Wraiths.

Commentaire de lokl08
Have gotten the Lentilles du sort-voyant Dellian twice now. Don't know for what good it will do. Have now gotten all large chests and only missing 1 medium chest. so will check at next run if having 2 lenses show any more chests and will update this post with any results.

Commentaire de tumaras
One other big thing to watch for in this that was rage inducing. If you die from fall damage, the scenario resets and you lose everything you've earned. Learned this the hard way after a good 45 minutes wasted in there and many chests. There isn't a good way that I've found to really leave the place short of running all the way back to the beginning. So don't try porting out, hearthing, etc. And there isn't a way out at the end. I guess they assume you'll eventually lose all of your withered.

My advice because of this is watch for falls, don't accidentally port, and even I'd say like a card game if you've been in there a while and have a decent number of chests opened just ran back to the start and end it. You don't want a dc, server issue, accidental fall, etc. to cause you to lose 30 minutes+ work. It's really unforgiving and poorly designed in that regard. And no you won't get mailed what you lost either. So know when to collect your winnings and quit while you're ahead.

Commentaire de Tormentorxx
I have a question. Is there any difference between 400 points for the max rep possible and the max amount of points you can get? So far I have gotten 713 points in one run and 703 on another but I dont see any major difference, except when I got my secret artifact skin at the final chest for DK Blood.

Commentaire de Blitzkrieg4877
DO NOT DIE FROM FALL DAMAGE IN THIS BUGGY SCENARIO. I Was completing my run by turning in 1 large chest and 2 small ones. I knew that if either i died or my withered died, then the scenario would end and it would tele me to the end. So i decided to jump off and kill myself from fall damage, because it was the fastest way for me to die. I was tele'd to the graveyard and removed from the group, without my loot. To top it all off I was unable to rez at my body and was forced to take rez sickness. Thanks blizz, if there was a guide on how to avoid all the bugs in this scenario it would be longer than the actual guide for clearing it.

Commentaire de Ludovician
For anyone who has a spammable CC ability: They are invaluable on the elite fights. I'm a warlock, so any time I have an elite or one of volatile elemental things to kill, I just turn on Mayhem and spam fear. They're helpless against my army of zombies. Works on Dro, the big spider, and just about anything else that even lasts longer than a second. Not Elfbreaker though, gotta stun him but the basic idea is the same. If you have a pet, it can aggro stuff without the withered joining in, so you can pull tougher enemies out of dangerous rooms that way.

Commentaire de Prinsalbert
Does Leystalker Dro seem to be missing for you?
If so; try to see if he pops up if you stand nearby or inside the pond in the bottom area (below the spider webs) where his spawn points are.

I was running back and forth and I thought he had bugged or something because he didn't appear at all for 10+ minutes. Then I tried to move literally everywhere, and he attacked me after I entered the pond.

Only posting this as more people seem to have encountered this recently.

TL;DR; If he *DON'T* seem to spawn, don't worry; make sure you try to walk everywhere - especially in the bottom of the middle area (around/in the pond).

Commentaire de 716563
Once you hit Exalted with Nightfallen, how much score would I need to just get the toys in the final chest? Can I just start the scenario and instantly quit it to get the chest with the potential for the toys? Or do I have to get 400 points just to get the chest?

Hello, *********! This is Game Master *************, here to assist. I hope you are doing well

First of all, I'd like to apologize for these automated responses. We've been very busy here in Blizzland, and cannot give the immediate 1:1 responses we wish we could deliver every time. Please bear with us during these busy times, as we try and make Azeroth epic to quest in!

With that said, I am afraid that there is currently nothing we can do to restore the Mana or reputation for this Scenario. While it is indeed bugged, we are unable to verify the necessary details within this Scenario to restore lost items, or verify its progress for any given player.

I realize this is far from the answer you wish to hear from us, especially after waiting 2 days for an automated response. I wish I had more to give you today

For future reference, here is an excellent fan-made guide that details this scenario remarkably in-depth! You can look at it here:

Should you feel that this current functionality be changed, I'd advise sending a Suggestion Ticket in game. Just click on the Red Question mark and choose Submit a Suggestion. Then let the Developers know in your own words what your concerns are with how the system currently works. This creates an automatic report that's sent directly to the folks who could potentially make these kind of changes! I promise you, each and every suggestion is read and reviewed.

After losing 2k mana,4 upgrade chests and time due to a dc when i was on the steps of the instance,few sec away from ending-i can say one thing:miserable design,and one of the moments when i really feel like wasting my time playing this game;
I doubt it is that hard to simply restore your state before the disconnect,in the same instance.Because
trading time(both playing and researching) for frustration,due to sloppy design is something you can expect from lower quality games....
Legion already pushed the pedal in increasing the time you need to spend ingame to obtain certain results,comparing with previous expansions.If they intended to make a bigger hamster wheel through flaws like this,is a cheap ass approach.

quest is flagged as complete the moment you enter the scenario fyi, even if you dont talk to the npc to initiate it. 2k mana and a bunch of rep gone because I needed to change a talent.

I realize I should have remembered to change talents before i went it, which is part of the reason I'm so angry about this, but is it really necessary to have such draconian restrictions on changing talents? Why can't we change talents before entering the tunnel?

Just did a full 2k mana run all buffed up and done with all chests.

THIS POST IS ONLY IF THE DOOR TO THE ELF BREAKER IS BUGGED SHUT FOR YOU.

If the door to the Elfbreaker does not open after you kill the Fal'dorei Silkwitch im afraid the door is bugged for you and will not open no matter how hard you try.

BUT ALL IS NOT LOST.
while you cannot make it to the exit anymore you can still go back and clear all the mobs and bosses you may have skipped and get the all the chests you can.

Once everything is clear and there is nothing to do but bang your head against that stupid bugged door it is now time to ditch your withered.

DO: PUT YOUR WITHERED ON MAYHEM MODE AND RUN AWAY FROM THEM

DO NOT TRY TO KILL YOURSELF, LOG OUT, EXIT INSTANCE OR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE ABOVE WAY OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE AND ALL THE ANCIENT MANA YOU SPENT TO GET IN!

Sorry you ran into this bug like I did but as long as you get around 500 score you will get the max amount of rep.

EDIT: Today I tried army training again and noticed a small chest stuck in the door that opens to the elfbreaker, I remembered the last time I did training the same chest was stuck half way in the door, the first time I did not get the chest before the trigger should have happened and the door bugged, the second time I did get the chest and the door opened, has anyone else seen the same chest stuck in the elf breaker door?
May just be a coincidence the door opened for me this time because I took the chest away but who knows...

As it stands right now, DO NOT DIE as a Holy Priest. You will enter Spirit of Redemption, be teleported out while still in that form, then when it ends, you'll die at the start of the scenario and NOT BE RESURRECTED. Thus, you will be completely unable to loot your chests. On top of that, you'll be forced to rez at the Spirit Guardian and take the 10 minutes resurrection sickness debuff and 25% durability loss on ALL equipment.

Bug list:
As a heads up to others I'm posting the bugs I've personally encountered on this quest. All three have also been reported on the Battle.net bug forum.

1. The hidden chests may not show up after you have acquired the Spellseer. I've made four runs now after getting the seer with no hidden chests showing.

2. You can fall through the floor in the large spider room -- the one just before the Elfbreaker door. There is a crack in the floor to the left of the entrance. I stepped in this, fell through the floor and was disconnected. Relogged and found myself still under the floor, but was transported to the start. Lost my army and scenario ended. Did get the main experience chest reward. This one is avoidable once you are aware of it.

3. Door to Elfbreaker will not open, stopping your progress. There was a reported work around on the bugs forum, but it was deleted, so it may be considered an exploit.

I went ahead and used my Order Hall ability on my Demon Hunter for this world quest just for the sake of curiosity (since I've already gotten all of the chests from it and am Exalted with the Nightfallen).

Completing this won't teleport you to the Ruins of Falanaar, but will instead just provide you with Nightfallen reputation as well as any follower-equipment bonuses that you might have.

Commentaire de Undreadll
I just wanted to add that if you have already opened all the chests, you can easily beat the scenario with the minimum buy-in of 400 mana, at least on a tank. I played it through starting with 8 withered on my Veng DH and was able to clear it with a score of 720 (killed everything except for the spiders atop the webs) and over 30 withered alive.

Does anyone know what minimum score is needed for the largest reward chest?

Commentaire de Shadowtyra
The score you gain afftects the size of last chest and from my own experience the loot in it too. Score zero will give you a small chest with 175 rep and 220 AP, score 600+ and you will get a chest 3 times larger with toy/gear/equipment for champions and 425 reputation and more artifact power also.

Commentaire de moramoon
I just spent a hour down there, completely cleared everything, but the door leading to the end didn't open for me, this is the second time this has happened to me. (The last 2 times in there). Yes I cleared the room across from it, but it still wouldn't open. Has this happened to anyone else? Kind of bummed me out, because I was on a roll, was at 693 points and, I just had to run out and give up. lol

Commentaire de Shadowloot
I just cleared it with 720 points and the chest contained:
Blood of Sargeras 4x
Arcane Tablett of Falanaar 4x
840 epic waist
Ancient Mana 100x
Order Resources 755x
Falanaar Orb 1x

I wonder if one can get an even higher score.

And the epic waist disenchanted into one Leylight shard - I feel robbed. :-)

Commentaire de scorpion8125
They need to add something to this to make it worth doing. Once you are exalted with the Nightfallen and get the one pet that drops from the final chest, the only thing left is the rare drop chance for the quest to get the mount.

They need to add more pets artifact power tokens worth the time or something to make doing this worthwhile.

This becomes the kind of boring grind that WoW says they want to get away from. It is actually pretty fun when you can get decent rewards at the end.

Commentaire de alessandrouw
As of 7.1, the gold rewards have been increased. I'm not yet sure if this is based on your score as I have to do more quests to figure this out, but I just did a run with around 490 points and it awarded me roughly 680 gold (along with the normal previous rewards). Before 7.1, you would get almost no money regardless of your score. Even 800+ would give you less than one silver.

Commentaire de Briandris
This felt really buggy since the 7.1 patch. I didn't actually get about 50% of the withered I found within the tunnels, I could "summon" them but they disappeared and my number of withered didn't increase. They felt a lot less durable as well. Mini bosses that previously would kill 1, maybe 2 withered were taking out 5 or 6 today. This used to be my absolute favorite thing that came with Legion. I hope these things are bugs and not intentional changes. Especially since it also appears they nerfed twice fortified arcwine as well. I'm gonna put in a bug report and keep my fingers crossed that this stuff will be fixed. Also, I did not see any increase in the gold I received either. 77s today, that's it.

Also I never find big chests anymore. Just small ones. whats up with that?

Commentaire de OCDCatLady
If you are like me and get stuck - I had (5) withered left alive, no more 5 man chests left to collect, and nothing left to kill in the areas I was able to access - just walk back out to the main area and talk to Thalyssra. You can tell her you're done with withered training for the day, and she'll present whatever rewards were due to you, just as if you died and were brought back to the entrance.

Commentaire de Richmond79
This is an awful and frustrating quest scenario. I hate ancient mana, Suramar, withered training to the point that, combined with mythic dungeons, I just don't care about progressing the lore until they nerf this.

Commentaire de 218650
To be honest the most efficient thing to do is just run in and get killed before any of your army are damaged every day for this quest. It takes a few seconds and you still get loads of rep. If you have an hour or so to waste and want to make slightly more rep then sure, follow the guides :)

Commentaire de r4z0r84
If you're losing all of your withered to Laystalker Dro, turn off mayhem mode, if they're on mayhem mode he will one shot every single one of them one after the other. Unsure if its the same for the other mini bosses in here but I'm not taking any chances, lost too many from Laystalker Dro in the past so thought i'd share.

A script to check to see if you've gotten all the one-time chests...
/run for k,v in ipairs({43149,43071,43140,43111,43146,43144,43134,43148,43128,43135,43141,43145,43120,43143,43142}) do print(format("%s: %s", v, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Done!\124r" or "\124cffff0000Nope\124r")) end

If you have something like Paste or Macro Toolkit which allows you to use longer scripts, here's one with all the names to make it easier to see what's missing:

I've used the information in the comments here to make an addon called HandyNotes_WitheredChests. It's a plugin for HandyNotes, it shows the location of Treasure Chests you still need to collect in the scenario. It shows the location of bosses with a tip on what's important in defeating them. Finally, it shows Locked Doors and the requirements of opening them.

Commentaire de Luna777
I'm so confused about the minimum score requirements for the fox mount quest item from the final chest reward at the end of this scenario.

I've tried researching a range of sites / forums & different links in Wowhead yet still can't find a definitive answer on this. The only consensus seems to be you don't have to kill all bosses or do a full clear.

If anyone has gotten this item from the chest reward at the end of the Withered Army Training scenario, can they confirm their score? In particular, if you did get the fox mount quest item and your was score less than 400.

As a number of people are either at exalted rep with Nightfallen or have multiple alts they want to run this on, it would be so helpful to know if we need the minimum 400 score for this to drop or if we can exit early.

Any confirmed information stating your score when you got this item would be greatly appreciated! :D

Commentaire de 1570945
Can you do this as a group?

Commentaire de Yogilaw
Personally I find this one a bit weird. It seems the more Withered you take with u (no pun intended) the harder it is to manage your progress. I find that 12 is ample, together with those you recruit along the way. My tactic now(already had the big chest from the first rooms) is to not bother with these 2 rooms you have to 'click open' depending on how many/type of Withered you have, & pop straight down the tunnel & clear the upper & lower floors there. Then head into the main area & clear all the spiders & webbed dudes. Dro is the big pain, he hits v hard so you need to use your withered to take him down a bit as you can end up dying (in DPS spec) which ends the scenario. You will lose a few Withered, but there are more to pick up as you carry on. Only once I have cleared the areas behind 'Dro's locked door' & then gone on to wipe the Ettin in the next tunnel do I consider heading back to clear the first rooms, which, if you've lost most of your Withered can be hard. This method usually lands me 500+ points & associated rewards. Don't care about pet or mount, but will experiment with new tactic to see if I can score more points next time.

Commentaire de antoniop23
I believe a useful quick exit from this semi-daily routine by those farming the various toys and pets that could be in the final chest is:

Once the score to attain the largest final chest (400ish) is reached, simply set your Withered Army to Berserk mode to make them stationary and then continue to walk away from them.

The "Your withered will get lost if you leave them behind!" message appears, usually this would be a thing of concern but after countless toy/pet attempts, now it's a hidden blessing!

Keep moving away from your stationary withered and soon enough you'll be far enough away from them that the entire army will 'get lost' and - suddenly having zero withered - you'll be ported to the Final Stage where you can loot the large chest and leave the instance.

This technique, combined with only using 400 Ancient Mana each time the quests pops (since that provides more than enough withered to run in and knock out 400-ish points) to save on having to farm Ancient Mana for future uses, and plowing through the place with your Withered Army set to Berserk nearly the whole time (as the Withered Army moves with you so long as you keep pulling without being too far ahead of them), this toy/pet farm will be that much less tedious.

8-10ish minute runs with a well worn route.

Commentaire de Shivrael
Incredibly satisfying to do this for the first time on an alt, when you know what you're doing.

400 mana intro quest won't let you pick more troops, so you get base 8.

Ret pally, not amazingly well geared, managed to kill everything up to Elfbreaker, although Dro obviously gave me a run for my money. (1 withered survived his plundering. ffuuu.)

From the one hit wonder I built myself back up to 20 by the time I got to Elfbreaker, and much to my satisfaction, peaced out with 2 big boxes for next time.

This may be one of the most frustrating mini games I've played for bugs and the sense of getting boned by Dro, but if you know what to expect it gives you a remarkably satisfying sense of control.

Commentaire de LavingRunatic
Ok so I had the loading glitch happen and, after asking the same question 3 times, I finally got a complete response (plus some other responses to questions I wasn't actually asking lol - I've provided those too just in case):

They WILL NOT refund your Ancient Mana
They CANNOT tell you/give you what would have been in the loot chest
They CANNOT give you any of the extra rep you might have earned
They CANNOT re-start the quest for you
There is NOTHING you can do to re-obtain the quest

Basically, they're supposedly working on the problem but don't have a fix or specific cause figured out. They did say that add-ons seem to be involved and that you can generally avoid this glitch by doing a full ui reset (even if you're updating your add-ons) if you haven't done so already. Haven't been able to test this as the quest has yet to re-appear for me, but that's the current word from customer support on this nearly 5-month old glitch.

They also provided me with 2 links on Ancient Mana & Rep farming:

As of 2/3/2017, this quest is still likely to DC you and cause you to lose all progress. I spent around 45 minutes trying to get a perfect run for the mount and possibly monk skin, only to realize that even after all the months of forum post complaining, Blizzard STILL hasn't fixed this issue.

I wrote them an angry (yet civil) ticket to let them know about my frustration, but this isn't the first time this has happened and every time their response is essentially, "Yeah, sorry 'bout that, but yeah...we're not going to do anything about it".

Good luck to those of you who are dedicated enough to deal with the insanely low drop rate AND getting cheated by DC's. Personally, I'm done trying.

Commentaire de remid0d0s0
For healers ... if you are just trying to get to 400 or 425 or whatever the magic number is, stick to ~3 followers. Focus the one with the least health. Once you get berzerkers (with taunt), if you have two, the you can't focus will tend to die. Sadly you can't put them in a raid group (as far as I know) for a better healing UI.

The way that withered health works is that the most damaged the withered has ever been becomes its "natural" health. Any health above that is basically a shield that decays fairly quickly over time. But on the time scale of a fight, not that quickly.

Knowing this, you can continue with a single withered for quite some time as long as you keep him healthy. You can keep a withered that doesn't have aggro alive a looooooooong time even if it has only 1% real health.

Dro is EZ-mode as a healer. Just keep aggro and kite a little as you keep yourself alive, keep him away from your withered, and keep a little extra healing on your withered. (He will certainly kill a berzerker unless you are really on top of things.)

Then to get a chest deep in the instance, backtrack and round up however many withered you left behind.

It's not fast but it's very reliable.

Commentaire de Bogdanov89
Very easy as tank druid (833 ilvl).
Spam swipe and trash, heal up when needed.
Keep withered in Follow Me mode unless you are sure they wont aggro more.
Nothing can threaten you but sometimes mobs go for withered even through taunt.
Make sure you catch the feared withered UNLESS you are fighting a boss - their aoe spells can kill multiple withered if improperly positioned.
Some bosses are VERY deadly against your withered, read up on the specific boss abilities and tactics (wowhead).
Get all those ancient mana buffs that NPCs give you.
I had a trinket with a 5 second stun (1min cd) so it helped interrupt boss spells to save withered.
When u kill last boss (giant spider) all the big doors unlock for free except the berzerker doors, so go back and kill all those bosses.

On my druid (833 ilvl) i killed everything (that i could reach/unlock) on the first attempt (about 650 points).
Literally massacred every enemy i could get to.
So go tank specs and enjoy the easy run :)

Commentaire de Sunac
Really, really learning to hate this WQ. First the annoying grind for mana just to get started (and since I've already looted all the placed mana, it's time to kill a bunch of stuff in Suramar proper!), then trying to keep the withered alive. My blood DK never drops below 95% health, but the withered may as well be made of paper mache soaked in aviation fuel. I can't even get past the first boss because he keeps sending in the explodey elementals, and when I shift to burn them down before they AOE, the boss has already massacred the withered. If I just focus on the boss, the elementals kill the withered.

At this point I feel like I've been killing the wrong elves. >.<

Commentaire de Unlocky
I was just gifted the Torn Invitation 25 min ago from Withered Army Training and wanted to contribute with some information. Not actual facts, but more in the line of my experience that you might take into consideration if you too are farming for it and have yet to be blessed by the divine random number entity.

I was already knee deep in Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One when I learned about the Reins of the Llothien Prowler and seeing I had two chances at geting it, I was pretty stoked. Little did I know how much I would come to genuinely hate one of the options. (In case you are wondering, the other option is the Nightfallen Hoard)

As soon as my army was fully upgraded, I started to clear the scenario with +700 points. So here is what I did, just from on top of my head.

1. Ran Withered Army Training with +700 points 90% of the time for at least 3 months. Why only 90%? Well......
2. I read on reddit among many other forums that 425 points will grant you the "biggest" chest when the scenario ends which means maximum AP token, maximum shot at getting the toys and Spark of the Fallen-Exarch. And of course the fabled Torn Invitation. It's true for atleast the Falanaar Orb. If you complete scenario at 424, you don't get maximum artifact power. So I began to end the training prematurely at 425 points.
3. I did it a couple of times, then I got cold feet and began to complete the scenario with +700 points once again, just to be sure.

I've read on so many forums that people believe that points have nothing to do with the droprate. That people have looted it at sub 100 points. Many even claim to have gotten the Torn Invitation just by dropping 400 mana to start the scenario only to cancel at Thalyssra immediately after you entered.

If you ask me, I actually think that these people are right. I honestly believe that you have a shot at the Torn Invitation regardless of your points. That you won't increase your chances by spending ~45 min killing spiders and elementals in an instance that quickly becomes tedious.

Forget about the "+700 points 2-3 times in a row" drop-myth. If it was true, I would have enough foxes to make everyone in Shal'Aran a furcoat.

Commentaire de Morigell
I was doing this for the first time today as a quest, not a world quest. I found 2 withered to join my army, and can't find any more. One ran away when he was already far from me and I couldn't catch him. I have a total of 9 Withered Exiles and 0 Withered Berserkers, so I can't get either of the doors to open.
I told Thalyssra I was done for the day. She let me pay Ancient Mana to hire Withered to do the quest.

Commentaire de Wanderer999
So here is something new: after killing the last spider boss in here that spawns all those annoying spiderlings that come down the stairs to the Elfbreaker, those spiders will come down again if you go back down. So running up and killing the spider boss before the Elfbreaker to get rid of those spiderlings doesn't work anymore. If you stay on the floor where you killed spider boss, the spiderlings will stop spawning.
I sent in a bug report, not sure if this change was intended or a bug but I'm hoping it is a bug. I mean, what does it matter if we can survive skipping the Elfbreaker and do spider queen first?

I was in the middle of this quest when I got booted for running out of game time. I had forgotten to update my credit card. Afterward, I didn't get ANY of the quest rewards or items I found while in the ruins. And, to top it all off, I have to wait three days to do it again. Nightfallen faction is hard enough to finish without this delay. Don't start this quest if you are almost out of play time....

Commentaire de AuPaladin
I opened every chest in the instance and still had 27 withered left over. Ever since I got the spellseer the spawn rate of large chests seems to have decreased by 50-75%. I think those large chest spawns are being replaced by small chest spawns. Small chests never drop anything remotely good. It's always the exact same 10g and 10 ancient mana. The only thing spellseer does is spawn more small chests, possibly in lieu of large chests, so I would recommend NOT using the spellseer upgrade even if it drops for you.

Commentaire de Dust
When you have completed enough runs to acquire every available chest and buff item and then do a run through just to clear the place out for rep, then if you start with a full team of 20 withered you can do a full clear and finish with a total of 55 withered and a score of 700. You'll of course only receive a single large chest at the end, as you've already acquired all the others. The fun part is how strong your withered army actually becomes by this point. You can wipe out the toughest of scenario bosses, the Elf Breaker for example, in a matter of seconds.

Commentaire de Sarthorius
With the objective to help everyone out there that is going in for the first time, I pinpointed each Treasure Chests' (medium ones) loot, and location, so you can go and pick up the ones that give the better buffs first (like the Fear-prevention one), and cheese on next entries.

These are found on the first floor (first map) of the Scenario, in order:

Boîte de murmures calmants >> More focus on attacks (/way 75.5 28.1 first floor (behind berserker door))
Soie tissée pétrifiée / Linceul imprégné d'élixir (seems to have been removed from game) >> 25% more health (/way 29.51 41.12 first floor, with spiders, above, on right room when you first enter it)
Coffre de banque de voyageur >> Bank Access from within Shal'Aran (/way 38.25 53.24 first floor, with spiders, below stairs)

These are found on the second floor (second and final map) of the Scenario, in order:

Éclat de tellurium apaisant >> Lowers the chance for the withered to flee (/way 51.31 29.95 second floor (first chest in Dro area))

Bassin de mana ancestral >> Toy (/way 67 52 second floor, Behind Brood Guard Phyx) this one says big end chest, but I'm pretty sure I got this toy off it, gotta check it out again.

Cocon d'œufs fal'dorei imprégné de mana >> Artifact Power (/way 46, 46 second floor, in middle circular room of Dro Area, full of Faldorei, bottom)

Cristallin de Qin'dera / Mort-boyaux millésimé (seems to have been removed from game) >> 25% more damage (/way 59 71 (second floor Elfbreaker room, next to toppled pillar))

Balise du soigneur d'arbre >> Artifact Power (/way 63 90 second floor, after elfbreaker room, on way to Psylich)

Rejeton de ligne tellurique >> Battle pet (/way 49.25 80.51 second floor, after Psylich, next to Oculeth, final one)

With these in mind, you'd want to get the Éclat de tellurium apaisant as fast as possible, as losing Withered due to the Fear debuff, in middle of a boss fight is awfull. With it you lower the chances to that to happen close to none.

There's also another toy not listed in this guide, and it is on the Toy Box, might be droppable off the guaranteed Giant chest, when you end the scenario, like other toys. >> Œuf fal'dorei

Not sure if it's been mentioned, and if it's a personal bug or not, but as of 7.3, if I enter with only 8 withered, I can recruit only one more and cannot open the next room... might be worth saving Mana to join with ten to start with.

Commentaire de Feni007
These guides are great but there is one part I'd like to highlight.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST you grab all Medium Chests and ignore the glimmering ones if you plan on doing this run multiple times for artifact appearances or extra rep.

You can only loot the mediums and glimmerings once so there will be plenty of chances to get the glimmerings later. The mediums upgrade your withering permanently. My runs are leagues easier now with all the buffs that I could have had at the very start if I wasn't wasting withering getting the glimmers on my first runs.

Lastly I'd like to add I got the Maw of the Damned appearance on my 4th run only killing 1 optional boss(dryad girl) and I was in Unholy spec. Had 37 withering left.

Commentaire de Smegnite
There have not been a lot of updates here since 7.1, so I am going to add some 7.3.5 updates here...

First and foremost, this scenario does not scale with your gear. So it is now very easy! I completed the entire scenario on my first try and lost very few withered at all. I used my Blood DK, and I was able to aggro everything for the few seconds it took to kill most mobs. Bosses died in 5-10 seconds. The withered took little to no damage. I am guessing that a DPS spec would also do well, killing stuff all the quicker.

Tips for this new, overpowered era:

1) Starting the Scenario... Always start with the max withered that you can. Even your first time. You'll wish you had them later for chests.

2) Pace... I still went somewhat methodically, clearing groups one at a time. The Withered throw rocks that will hit other stuff accidentally. In a big room, they could end up pulling a lot and getting injured, running away. Pull a group, kill it. Repeat. Win.

3) Crowd Control... Interrupts, stuns, fears, etc - these are your friends! Everything that can cast down here can be interrupted. And those abilities are the ones that will kill your withered fast if you do not stop them. Leystalker Dro, who used to be pretty tough, was a cakewalk. Use any CC that you have to stop his charges. Volatile Wraiths - interrupt their casts as late as you can. Also gives them less time to cast that explode ability before you kill them. You get the idea!

4) Psillych Spiderling... This nasty spider gets his own section. When you start getting "close" to him you will see a gauntlet of psych spiders come at you. And your withered will start running away, one every few seconds. This is the only place I lost withered. I suggest saving those that are not far away. Then keep heading straight for the boss. Don't stop. And the the love of all that is holy, do not grab those bonus withered along the way. I did that my first time, and lost two withered for every one I gained. Use the strats listed on this page. Either zerg it and get to the boss fast, or make quick but controlled movement to the boss to limit your losses. The gauntlet, and your frightened withered, will stop once he's down. Then go back and get your spoils.

5) Chests...
- You should always loot the "small treasure chests" immediately. There is no cost to this.
- You should wait until you have cleared the mobs and bosses before looting the "treasure" chests" and the "glimmering treasure chests". They will take the required withered away immediately, reducing your fire power.
- It is important to understand that these last two types of chests appear only once ever. So don't waste your time time or withered going back for them again.
- Yes, it is okay to get that final chest next to Oculeth right away at the end of the path. Only talking to him or using that beacon will beam you out.

6) Doors...
- You must get Dro's Key to get to the second half of the scenario. So that door must be opened. So worries - he'll find you!
- The other locked doors require withered to open - you will lose these withered. So plan ahead and make sure you hit the chests behind these doors once and that you will have enough withered to take those chests!

7) Withered bonuses... These are up to you. I do recommend getting Éclat de tellurium apaisant on your first run, to reduce the fears caused by our friendly neighborhood spider boss. Other than that, I do not think the others are very relevent any more. You are just going to plow though this scenario now with or without the bonuses!

Have fun training your army!

As of 8.0.1, the Withered have a pitiful amount of health - just 1.5k base. This makes them die EXTRMELY fast. Almost any AoE will kill them, almost any attack aimed right at them, will kill them. This means Leystalker Dro can just destroy your entire group of withered in one dash. And, due to the stat squish on your own character, it makes it very very hard to kill the mobs fast enough to stop them from killing your withered. This means almost any character is heavily penalised when doing the scenario unless you have insane amounts of damage or insane amounts of crowd control.

My reccomendation is simply - use potions. Yes, use flasks. Gem up, enchant up, because at this moment in time before BFA properly releases and we can level to 120, the scenario is almost impossible to do and get a respectable score unless you have very high DPS or a ton of CC. Hopefully though, the recent look Blizzard is taking at the scaling system problems will also fix this problem too, but that won't help me in the meantime while i try to get the prot pally hidden appearance.

TLDR: Please be careful when undertaking the withered scenario, as your withered will drop like flies.

Commentaire de Antomon
Before patch 8.0 i didn't get any toy or mount from this scenario. After patch 8.0 i have decided to try to do full clears in this scenario. Pick all the whitered, open all the small chests (have all big chests), open all roms and kill all the enemies, scoring between 690-705 at the end. With this metod in 4 scenarios i managed to get 3 toys and mount invitation.

Either i'm extremly lucky (i'm doing this scenario for toys) or Blizzard did buffed drop rate for toys and mount invitation. I suggest after you get all upgrade chest to try and do full clear of place couple of times to see if you notice the same.

Good luck with farming.

Action Button Macro for Withered Training (and any other special button that pops up in a dungeon, raid, or scenario) /click ExtraActionButton1
Saved me a ton of time.

Commentaire de Flakzer
I had no toys going into 8.1.5 and after about a month i have all but one. What worked for me was i got to just over 400 points (400-450) and then used the extra button to make the withered stay and ran from them. I've tried doing the whole get the max amount of points possible but it did not work for me and getting to just over 400 is much easier. Good luck to everyone still farming.

in 8.3 you CAN heal the troops, at the very least with The Cruicible of Flame
i've had multiple runs with my 120 demonology warlock to test it, haven't gotten above rank 1 on that toon but it heals the withered right up. helped a lot

Does anyone know if this quest disappears once you unlock the Nightborne as a playable race?

How about a run with no chests but small chests? Yeah, that just happened. SONUVAGUN!

But the fox mount must be mine! I'll not give up!

Commentaire de Abitera
As of 8.3, i haven't been able to loot any Medium or Large chests in this event. Done it 4 times now.
Contacted GM to find out wether this is correct or not.

So for now.. Just go in with minimum Withered and complete asap :)

Is the quest and option to get the Twisting Anima of Souls still available in BFA 8.3?

Commentaire de epodox
If your a new alt and this is not showing up for you, make sure you have completed Uniting the Isles. This is a world quest and will not show unless world quests are unlocked. You can speak to Khadgar in Dalaran if it did not auto pop for you.

For all of you who are NOT looking for the WQ, but answers on how to proceed your Suramar -questline:
- talk to Thalyssra, proceed with the withered as far as you can
- when ready to quit, talk to Thalyssra AGAIN and ask to quit
- > the quest updates to final stage, get loot, be done.

Commentaire de TerribleAtGames
Just did this scenario for the first time, and found an exploit obtaining all three chests with only 10 withered. Clear your way to the three chests, and make sure you have exactly 10 withereds with you. Either get the overflow killed, or convert more. Send them off with the two smaller chests or the bigger one, and you will be left completely alone. This triggers a failsafe that teleports you to the outside of Falanaar. Enjoy the chests.

Commentaire de Fatherquinn
When doing the quest, DO NOT LEAVE THE SCENERIO! instead, run back through the entire place. Why? Because small treasure chests spawn in random locations behind you. It's time-consuming to search for them, but I picked up EIGHT Blood of Sargeras from them in one run-through, besides the random drops.

Commentaire de wereowl
Might be worth noting that this quest is apparently not a daily, so it might happen that on certain days it simply is not there.

Commentaire de climber
I’ve just done my fourth training run. I cleared every single room, including the final spider boss. The usual number of small chests. Not a single medium or large chest anywhere.

I started with 15 withered and finished with 44. A waste of time and mana.

Commentaire de alpha17x
Where does this actually start? Who actually starts it? Being near the supposed quest point does nothing and no one or nothing indicates any involvement with it, or how to start it.

Commentaire de Brotinn
The RNG on the medium/large chest spawns is absolutely infuriating. I've been farming this scenario off and on for many years and recently it seems like the medium/large chests have basically vanished.
I've been making a point to farm the max amount of ancient mana in order to start with the 20 withered because I was always ending up with not enough to afford all the chests I find. Now every single time I do this there's nary a medium/large chest to be found. My most recent run I had 59 withered at the end and zero chests (excluding the small ones that don't cost anything of course) anywhere. I even went through every area twice to make sure I hadn't overlooked them.
I don't know if I'm just incredibly unlucky or if they've made some weird change, but this is beyond frustrating.

Commentaire de FlipperPA
If she is missing when you're trying to do the quest, Withered Army Training, you may need to do two quests to get her to re-appear at the command table:

Fate of the Nightborne
Lingering on the Edge

After I completed these two quests, she was back at her post.

Commentaire de Dreadalous
Just did a run now and there was about 5 large chests and 2 medium chests.
Seeing the comments of many people recently saying they found almost literally none perhaps Blizzard have done a hot fix to increase the numbers.

While I'm at it I did it without the Artifact Weapon in bags. Do they have to be equipped or in my bags? Because other AW didn't have to be to gain the appearances.
Confirmation of this would be great thx : ]

P.S. I should add that I went for 15 Withered option rather than the max 20 Withered as I couldn't be bothered to farm the Ancient Mana even though it's super easy in big lots in The Promenade

Commentaire de Bliixz
Seeing as this comment section is a mess and I got nothing from it and had to research through Youtube videos this is what i learnt to get the Mount/Toy/Pet which is what i was hunting:

- You only get medium and large chest once off when first running this Scenario, this is not a bug. They hold the upgrades for the withered which once used are permanent and auto equipped on your withered when starting the scenario. The small chest still spawn but i didn't waste time on them at this point (9.2.5) they have nothing of value.
- Get score of 400+ on following runs, this will get you maximum reward. You DONT need to run the whole thing!
- Run back to Thalyssra or stick withered on Berserk and let them die to finish scenario.
- You now receive the maximum reward chest that drops the mount, toy, pet etc.

Easy. Good Luck.

Commentaire de Ragestatus
Hey all, for this scenario to become available you must complete the storyline objectives of Souffrenuit debout !.

I've done this on 3 characters over the last week or so in order to obtain their hidden artifact appearance (prot paladin / blood dk / ww monk).

It does not take long to complete; maybe an hour with flying. I hope this helps!

Commentaire de Tyrsenus
How to quickly get 400x Mana ancestral to start the run:

Take the Shal'Aran portal to Astravar Harbor.
Fly down to the ground-level part of the harbor. Usually lots of Mana ancestral here.
Take the same portal back to Shal'Aran, start the run.

If there wasn't enough Mana ancestral in the Harbor:
Fly from the Harbor to Twilight Vineyards (northeast, upper tier of Suramar City) and pick up Mana ancestral along the way.
Take the Twilight Vineyards portal back to Shal'Aran, start the run.

Actually you don't need to go into ruins, just accept quest and talk again to the NPC to end training.

NEED ANCIENT MANA?
You need a lot of Mana ancestral to complete story and for your withered army!
It is easy to get Mana ancestral if you know where. So far the best spot is in Suramar City.

HERE IS THE BEST ROUTE!

If your internet goes out or you otherwise disconnect from the game for too long, you'll be kicked out and won't be able to return since it will be considered a completed world quest and you will lose out on all of your rewards.

Commentaire de Palawot
Today I did Withered Army Training on my Pally (thanks to a 7-day enticement offer / free gift to tempt you back). I was using Consecration to clear the eggs and their hatchlings in the room with the big spider mother (the one behind a locked door, not the one at the end of the run), and I noticed that the withered were getting healing numbers floating off above their heads. This didn't surprise me because he's got the Golden Path talent in the "Paladin" tree of the retri spec (GP heals the pally and 5 other allies standing inside the yellow consecration circle), and I've tried to heal withered before and all that happens is that their numbers go up and then go back down to where they were before you healed them. However, this time, the heals stayed! Early heals were biggest, later ones were less because it was averaging more withered that were already at 100% (random), but eventually I got them all up to 100% which was very useful for the Psyllich fight later on.

Commentaire de toastytea
Since I could not find information in one post, and I have been farming this on and off for a while:

When you first begin doing the scenarios, there will be Large and Medium chests that require Withered to carry out. You want to get those out of the way (without losing all you Withered) as they are permanent upgrades and contain items required to go into certain areas for more chests, etc. Some areas require you to have a certain type, such as Berserker. These only appear while you are working on upgrading the scenario, they do not respawn and do not appear once you are fully upgraded.
It probably takes 3-4 runs to fully upgrade considering you are unlikely to lose Withered running it now. Grab all the ones you see as you run through, open all extra rooms, and do everything to max it out so you never have to worry about it again. Some Withered might be webbed, so not a bad idea to free those when you see them.
Once your scenario is fully upgraded, you can just make a goal of making it to the end and spend the minimum amount of Ancient Mana (400) as you don't really need Withered for anything but being there. There are conflicting reports on the score, but if you run to the end killing everything on the way without too many detours, I ended at around 300-400 and got the chest with rewards that dropped toys, etc. My route was pretty much as direct to the exit as possible, I'm sure you can optimize it, but even with running it, takes about 10 minutes if not less. I made a goal of doing at least 300 which allowed me to just kill mobs along the way and mini-bosses since sometimes the chest at the end at lower scores would not count in my Rarity toy attempts which made me suspicious. It's a straight shot while doing that regardless, you can skip meaningless things like freeing more withered/webs/etc. and just kill mobs.
Don't bother with more Withered or Small chests, it's not worth the time. Do kill mini-bosses as they give a bunch of score and it's unclear if you need some to get the rewards.
The fastest way to get Ancient Mana is to go into the city and look for the special items with your Mana Divining Stone (make sure you have the buff from it). It takes 15 minutes or so to get full mana 90% of the time from the items. They are all over the place, you will see blue dots on your mini-map. The market area usually has a lot, but so does anywhere else around the city in the "lower" areas.

There are a few rewards from this, including Nightfallen reputation tokens, so it's worth doing if you need a "low effort" reputation for the Paragon box.

Good luck farming!
