Raiders, everyone's eager to unleash a thrilling looting spree in Buried City Town, a renowned treasure trove. Rare weapons and high-level loot await you. However, the game is fiercely competitive; only those who find the key can unlock the rooms. Now, let's explore how to find and use the precious Buried City Town Hall key.

Where to find the key?

Actually, the key isn't hard to find. While item drops in ARC Raiders are random, there are still some patterns to follow.

Keys are relatively concentrated on Dam Battlegrounds map, especially in Ruby Residence and Administration Building. Because items frequently respawn, it's recommended to develop the habit of returning to key areas to re-loot. Of course, this assumes you have plenty of time.

Don't overlook the breaching containers in the rooms; you never know what goodies are hidden inside. You can also often find Buried City Town Hall key in lockers and chests. The chances aren't low.

Obtaining ARC Raiders Buried City Town Hall key from ARC enemies is another method, with a slightly higher probability of success while guarding the restricted area, but the risk also increases accordingly. With caution and good equipment, it's not particularly difficult.

How to use the key?

Preparation before Looting

First, players should put the hard-earned key into a Safe Pocket. You don't want to risk losing it, right?

You're probably hoping for a fruitful looting trip. Here's an easily overlooked point: to ensure a smoother looting experience, try to carry only essential items, leaving enough space in your inventory. Avoid the awkward situation of finding good items but not having enough space in your inventory.

If you want to use this key, you need to time it right and use it before leaving the map. Because once you die, you won't have a chance to use it, you'll lose the key you worked so hard to obtain, and you'll have to start all over again.

Looting Process

Next, we can find Town Hall and begin our journey. Players can easily find Town Hall on the map because it's a huge building and particularly conspicuous in open areas. You can also place a location marker for easy identification and to revisit later. If your spawn point allows, it's recommended to approach from the northwest.

You need to reach the north main entrance of Town Hall and use the key to open the large door in the center of the building. This room is relatively easy to find compared to other locked rooms. If you can find it, others can too, so remember to close the door behind you!

Because it's a key area, there will be relatively more ARC enemies, such as Tick, Pop, and Fireball. You can eliminate some ARC before starting to loot, creating a safer environment for yourself. Always be vigilant and protect your life and the good loot you find.

Town Hall has three floors. We need to focus on the second and third floors, as they have more loot.

The first-floor lobby, while not as good as the second and third floors, is still quite decent. You can find grenade cases behind the pillars on the first floor. Valuable residential items can be found in the chest of drawers, usually in the corner behind the door. There are also some ARC scraps, all from your destruction.

Upon reaching the second floor, the quality of loot improves significantly. You can find medical bags near the railings in the hallway. Keep an eye on the drawers in the rooms; you might find them through holes in the walls. They likely contain valuable items.

Additionally, a chest of drawers can be found in the east room. The furniture you see may randomly spawn world loot. There's also a refrigerator for storing natural loot.

The third floor might be the most lucrative spot. Finding epic items isn't unusual. The main focus is on looting the cabinets, chests of drawers, security breach lockers, breachable computer cabinets, and weapon cases. Weapon cases have a higher chance of containing rare items.

Looting Results

What you find in Town Hall depends partly on luck, as the drops and containers are randomized. It's possible you'll find both Bobcat and an upgraded Bettina this time, but come back empty-handed next time.

The important thing is to maintain a good mindset in the game. Don't be arrogant when you return with a full load, and don't be discouraged when you return empty-handed; these are inevitable experiences.

Important Notes

Unless under special circumstances, after finishing a looting session, you can use a Raider Hatch key to safely escape from a hatch. It's located in the northeast corner of Town Hall; you'll find a somewhat hidden hatch there. Then, quickly return to Speranza.

So, try to prepare a Raider Hatch Key in advance so you can bring back all your loot. That's what makes a complete looting session.

In short, finding Buried City Town Hall Key isn't as difficult as you might think. Follow the methods in this guide to find it, and use the key carefully to maximize its benefits. Go online and try it out!

WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2 is set to arrive in mid-May, which is a bit earlier than most players expected. That said, it still leaves just enough time to level up a new alt.

Phase 2 will introduce two new raids, and with them, the landscape for DPS classes is bound to shift. If you're hoping to secure a raid spot in Phase 2, let's take a look at which DPS specs are projected to perform best - and worst.

Tier C

Combat Rogue

If you frequent the Looking for Group channels, you'll notice two classes everywhere: Warriors and Rogues. A raid needs Rogues about as much as it needs a Balance Druid. Yet the number of Rogue players is roughly ten times that of Balance Druids.

Given that Phase 2 raids will likely be somewhat easier after possible nerfs, Rogues will still face a situation where supply exceeds demand. If you'd rather not struggle to recruit more Warlocks or Mages, bringing four or five Rogues is a convenient solution - and it also ensures full uptime on Improved Expose Armor.

Arms Warrior

Currently, the least popular specialization in TBC Classic is Arms Warrior. If Fury Warrior didn't exist, Arms would be a perfectly solid spec, but most players obviously care more about raw output.

Affliction Warlock

Affliction Warlock is widely regarded as one of the strongest classes in Phase 2. During trash clearing, a Warlock's Seed of Corruption combined with a Warrior's Sweeping Strikes can unleash devastating area damage.

However, the biggest issue for Warlocks isn't damage - it's survival. Since most Protection Paladins lack sufficient spell power to hold threat against large trash packs, Warlocks using Seed of Corruption are extremely prone to over-threat and getting taken down. Unless Protection Paladin in your group is a top-tier player, Warlock will likely spend much of the trash phase on the floor.

Tier B

Elemental Shaman

Not every raid composition includes an Elemental Shaman, but this specialization is absolutely a valuable option. If you're thinking of leveling a new alt right now, Elemental Shaman is an excellent choice. This isn't only because of the massive spell damage boost their totems provide to caster groups, or their burst damage in short fights - the key reason is Phase 2's most difficult encounter: Lady Vashj.

In this fight, the raid must handle a Strider that needs to be kited. Any player who gets too close to that target suffers a fear effect, which can easily wipe the group. While Mages, Hunters, and even skilled Druids can kite, the simplest and most forgiving option is an Elemental Shaman using Frost Shock. They generate enormous threat, perfectly bypassing this fight's most troublesome mechanic.

Shadow Priest

In the post-nerf environment of Phase 2's Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest's Keep, many boss fights will see Arcane Mages at the top of the damage meters. Once Mages obtain their two-piece Tier 5 set, the damage of their core spell, Arcane Blast, increases by 20%, sending their output soaring.

Yet the double-edged nature of T5 set is that Arcane Blast's mana cost also skyrockets. In longer boss fights, Arcane Mages become heavily dependent on a Shadow Priest's Vampiric Touch to restore mana. Without a Shadow Priest's support, Mage team will quickly run out of mana and be forced to rely on Frostbolt - a significant damage loss.

Enhancement Shaman

Enhancement Shaman provides the raid with a huge amount of passive stats through totems and buffs. Because the number of Enhancement players is very low, almost every guild is recruiting one, and they tend to be forgiving when it comes to gear and skill. As a result, an Enhancement Shaman in Phase 2 will rarely have trouble finding a group.

Tier A

Beast Mastery Hunter

Beast Mastery Hunters consistently put up top-tier damage on many raid boss encounters. Any raid would gladly take three to five Hunters.

Yet the number of players willing to main a Hunter seems to be declining. The likely reason is that farming a Hunter's best gear is extremely tedious and time-consuming. Apart from those who chose a Hunter from the very beginning, most players leveling alts tend to avoid this class.

Retribution Paladin

Retribution Paladin is definitely a niche spec that can shine in early Phase 2, even though obtaining its core weapon is no small task.

Retribution Paladin's Lionheart Executioner provides a damage cap far exceeding one-handed weapon upgrades, and its massive burst damage is enough to easily secure a place in early boss fights. However, you'll need to convince the other players in the raid to prioritize Nether Vortex.

Feral Druid

Feral Druid is another seriously underrated key role. A single Feral Druid, through its aura, can provide roughly 100 extra damage per second to each Warrior, Rogue, and Enhancement Shaman in the melee group. For a physical-damage-heavy composition, sometimes multiple Feral Druids may be desired.

Tier S

Fire Mage

Fire Mages top the damage charts in boss fights, but they share the same T5 set token with Warlocks and Hunters. Fire Mage's 20% Arcane Blast damage increase, Hunter's 5% Steady Shot critical chance, and Warlock's two-set bonus all guarantee fierce competition for Tier 5 tokens. Sometimes you may find yourself rolling against eight or nine other players for a single piece of gear.

Balance Druid

Balance Druid is the second least popular class, mainly because its personal damage isn't particularly high, it struggles with mana consumption during early progression, and it's relatively gear-dependent. In practice, however, it brings a lot to a raid.

Innervate, Battle Resurrection, and Faerie Fire all prove quite useful in raid encounters. Many groups are happy to bring one Balance Druid - but only one. Given that Balance Druids aren't numerous, you're almost certain to find a raid spot.

Fury Warrior

Fury Warrior's damage potential as a pure DPS spec is seriously underestimated in Phase 2. In a well-optimized raid, the top spot on the damage meters often belongs not to a Mage or Hunter, but to a Warrior.

Because WoW TBC Classic Anniversary may reduce raid boss health and damage, Warriors will be able to cover longer fight phases with Recklessness, Death Wish, Blood Fury, and Bloodlust - generating massive rage and dealing devastating damage. On many boss fights, Warrior may very well be the highest damage dealer.

Phase 2 tests not only your personal rotation, but also the wisdom of raid composition and gear distribution. If you're willing to choose a class that supports the team, plenty of groups will extend you an invitation.
