HothSnowRat Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 So I know Heroic 4 means it is a mission where they recommend a team of 4 due to difficulty, but what is the difference between when you see Heroic 4 and when you see Area 4 in a quest title? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmpearson Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Area isn't instanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foofie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I believe Area 4 is a open area on planet where all of the mobs in that section are "Elite". The Heroic 4 would be an instance specific to the quest? Perhaps I am wrong. But that is what I thought it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is what I thought it was That is almost always the case, but there are a couple of Heroic 4's that aren't instanced. I'm thinking Pound of Flesh on Nar Shadda on the imp side....

Gungan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Area # means that you revealed an area on the world map with a multi-stage heroic quest. An NPC didn't send you there for a mission, you just stumbled onto it and the quest was added to your log.

KSheriff Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 As mentioned, most heroic 4 quests are at least partially instanced (Not all of them are though). Area 4, as far as I've seen, are always un-instanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
