Explore The Coiled Isle in Patch 12.1: The Curse of Ula'tek
Among the features of Patch 12.1 is the Coiled Isle, a new zone which players will explore and plunder in the pursuit of an ancient evil. It also happens to be full of quests, rares, treasures, and collectables!
Located off the eastern coast of Zul'Aman, players follow Zul'jan across the Straight of Hexx'alor. The Coiled Isle is the site of the Patch 12.1 campaign, in which players join Zul'jarra's forces to prevent the awakening of an ancient evil in the Altar of Fangs dungeon and Venomous Abyss raid.
Enter The Mists
The island is unlocked during the The Curse of Ula'tek campaign questline, with What Lies Beyond the Fog sending players to the island proper. A flight path will be unlocked and available to all warband characters once the introductory questline is completed.
Flying is also enabled from the start, so players can simply fly from Zul'Aman, though it's not the fastest way around. After completing the Prey Season 2 introduction, players will find a portal to the Island within Astalor's Sanctum in Silvermoon. This is by far the quickest way to get to the island.
Coiled Isle Events, Activities, and Reputation
Like most new zones, the isle is full of quests, rares, treasures, and lore objects, as well as two new reputations and a world boss.
World Boss Lair
Like Rotmire in Sporefall, the new world boss is actually located inside an instanced lair, to help ease performance issues across the zone and offer multiple difficulties of challenge. This also allows players to challenge the boss on multiple difficulties, with the World Tier still allowing normal automated group finding.
- World boss within a self-contained instance.
- Four difficulties: World, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic.
- Drops Veteran through Myth-track raid gear, based on difficulty.
Nymrissa Wavecaller (NPC #252959) is located at the bottom of the bay just below Tokka's Landing, around /way #2512 60.1, 66 The Tidebound Grotto.
Zul'Jarra's Forces
Shadowpine, Witherbark, Revantusk and Amani soldiers act as one united front under Zul'Jarra's leadership. The army takes their battle against Malacrass and Ula'tek to the Coiled Isle. Helping this major faction will give you access to several new rewards players are accustomed to over 20 renown levels, including pets, decor, mounts, transmog and more!
- Several new profession recipes.
- New mounts such as Indigo Coiled Horror.
- New transmog such as Mantle of Nalorakk and Axe of the Amani.

Vaults of Atal'Utek
The Vaults of Atal'Utek is the underground area of The Coiled Isle. It is a massive sprawling area where you can become more powerful with a talent tree from the Altar of Corrosion, fight the forces of Ula'tek in a perpetual world event, and earn new currency to get rewards!
- New talent tree system: Altar of Corrosion.
- New perpetual world event: Defeat Ancient Foes.
- New cosmetic rewards!
Cursed Surges, Cursed Fishing, and Captain Tokka
Cursed Surges are rotating world events on The Coiled Isle that have players complete a small task in the area before facing a mini boss. Defeating the Cursed Surges will reward you with Adventurer level gear, crests, and will dissipate that energy into the nearby land and water allowing you to participate in cursed fishing!
Cursed fishing is a system that is intrinsically tied to the Captain Tokka friendship reputation. Increasing reputation with Captain Tokka will allow you access to profession recipes, a mount, decor, transmog, and a fishing pole that grants underwater breathing and swim speed in Midnight Zones!
- Acquire Adventure level gear.
- Unlock a friendship reputation, Captain Tokka.
- Lots of cosmetic rewards, and a best in slot fishing pole: The Coiled Huntress.
