Ragefire Chasm

HaicyanDungeon Overview
RFC is open to players who are levels 18 and below in Hardcore mode, but it is suggested to enter when you are above level 14. The dungeon teaches fundamental mechanics such as mob positioning, crowd control, and group composition. Since it is the inaugural dungeon in the game, it follows a straightforward progression path and is widely regarded as the easiest. Historically in SSF Hardcore, the average level death is 14, so it is highly recommended to run this dungeon if you are able to in order to make the transition into the middle portion of the Barrens and Silverpine more smooth. This is essentially a Horde exclusive dungeon, but it is possible to enter this dungeon as an Alliance player in Hardcore (ask Tainted_hc how!).
Estimated Completion Time: 45-60 mins
Recommended Classes
Mage - Can Polymorph. Not usually needed, but can be helpful if average group level is low.
Shaman - Generally strong at low levels with ability to fulfill any role. Can Earth Shock to interrupt spellcasts.
Things to Look Out For
While you're exploring Ragefire Chasm, there are a couple of things you should keep an eye on to make sure your dungeon run goes smoothly. First off, be extra careful around the lava - it's not just there for decoration! Taking an accidental dip can result in some serious damage and even death. So, watch your step and be mindful of your surroundings.
Another thing to be cautious about is mobs lurking right at the entrance of the dungeon. If you're a low-level player, these can aggro on you as soon as you walk in. Make sure you're ready for a fight the moment you step in.
The Ragefire Shamans are a dangerous caster mob. They’re in densely packed rooms and can chain pull multiple packs, making them a significant threat. Their spells can cause significant damage so the best strategy is to range pull and line of site them until they are in melee range.
In the main room with the orcs and Taragaman the Hungerer, there are 3 patrolling orcs*. These mobs can cause issues if they show up at inopportune moments, IE during one of the several 4 mob pulls or during the Taragaman fight. It is recommended that you mark them and keep an eye on them.
