-- "The Ironbound Sentinel" -- the new combat objective for quest 912001 (see 2026_08_16_01.sql). -- A Titan-built earthen guardian, older than the Ley Wardens' own network, that wakes near the -- Uldaman dig site to stop the player from surfacing the old ley magic buried beneath it. -- -- Stats modeled directly on Mor'Ladim (creature_template entry 522, Duskwood's real, unique, -- solo-able open-world elite) rather than invented: minlevel=maxlevel=30, rank=1 (elite), -- unit_class=1 (Warrior), HealthModifier=3, DamageModifier=2.4, BaseAttackTime/RangeAttackTime -- 2000 -- creature_template only stores multipliers, base HP/damage come from -- creature_classlevelstats by level+class, so this reuses Mor'Ladim's proven soloable-elite tuning -- rather than guessing flat numbers. faction=21 (Mor'Ladim's own faction) reused too -- checked -- first since its only other users in this DB are undead (Flesh Eater, Skeletal Warrior, etc.), but -- faction here governs hostility, not flavor, and Mor'Ladim himself isn't a skeleton either; the -- same faction being shared across unrelated creature families is normal in this engine. type=4 -- (Elemental) -- real Uldaman earthen constructs are inconsistent in Blizzard's own data -- (Archaedas is Giant, Ironaya is Not Specified, the Earthen Guardian is Humanoid), so there's no -- single "correct" precedent to copy; Elemental is the closest real category for a non-organic, -- non-mechanical guardian. -- -- Display: 6026, the real "Earthen Guardian" creature's own display (creature_template entry 7076) -- -- confirmed present in this server's actual CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc. That real creature only -- ever spawns inside the Uldaman instance (map 70), never in the open world, so reusing its display -- for this new, open-world-only entry has no collision/confusion risk. Not reusing real Uldaman -- boss names (Archaedas, Ironaya) for this creature's own name, to avoid confusion with actual -- dungeon content. -- -- MovementType 0 (stationary) -- a guardian keeping watch, not a patrol. spawntimesecs 600, -- matching Mor'Ladim's own real respawn timer. No loot table -- purely a kill-credit objective.
