Hidden buffs of Orgrimmar
In the Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar, there are four hidden buffs that can increase your power significantly: Prohibition, Smith’s Strength, Ethereal Essence, and Spirit of Wind. You can collect all four in a single run if you’re efficient and lucky with NPC spawns.
These buffs increase your health, damage, critical strike, and speed—making them incredibly valuable for pushing deeper into the vision and surviving high-mask runs. They also last for 1 hour, so there’s no way you won’t finish the Vision before the buff runs out.
Tip:
Hidden Buffs aren’t guaranteed to appear (The most common scenario is that either Morag or Naros will spawn—but not both), but you can tilt the odds in your favor.
Take Naros’s buff as an example—if you’re aiming for the 10% Damage bonus, you can use the command /tar Naros at the beginning of the Vision to check if he’s present.
If he isn’t, simply restart the Vision. There’s no penalty for doing so, and you can repeat the process until the buff you want shows up.
How to get Prohibition – 10% Health buff
- Location: Broken Tusk Inn, Valley of Strength
- Coordinates: [53.1, 78.9]
- How to get Prohibition:
Near the start of the vision in the Valley of Strength, go inside the Broken Tusk Inn. If Barkeep Morag is present, defeat him to receive the Prohibition buff, which increases your maximum health by 10%.
Note:
There’s a chance for either Naros or Morag to spawn in the Vision—but not both. So if Morag appears, you won’t be able to get Smith’s Strength from Naros, and the same goes the other way around.
How to get Smith’s Strength – 10% Damage buff
- Location: Naros’s Armory, Valley of Strength
- Coordinates: [46.2, 77.7]
- How to get Smith’s Strength:
In the Valley of Strength, enter the Blacksmith building (Naros’s Armory), located near the building where the Bad Potion sometimes spawns. If Naros is present, kill him to gain the Smith’s Strength buff, increasing your damage done by 10%.
How to get Ethereal Essence – 10% Critical Strike buff
- Location: Ethereal Transmog Building, The Drag
- Coordinates: [57.5, 64.9]
- How to get Ethereal Essence:
After defeating Annihilator Lak’hal in The Drag, look inside the first building on the right. If there’s an interactable ethereal gateway, click it to summon Warpweaver Dushar. Defeat him to receive the Ethereal Essence buff, which grants a 10% increase to your Critical Strike chance.
How to get Spirit of Wind – 10% Haste and Movement Speed buff
- Location: The Valley of Spirits
- Coordinates: [32.1, 66.9]
- How to get Spirit of Wind:
After clearing the second corrupted totem in the Valley of Spirits, instead of continuing left, look to the right. If Bwemba is dancing there, kill her to gain the Spirit of Wind buff, which increases your Haste and Movement Speed by 10%.
Tips for efficient buff collection
- These NPCs do not always spawn, so check for them in each run.
- You can collect multiple buffs in a single run if you’re efficient and lucky with spawns.
- Plan your route ahead of time to incorporate each buff location smoothly into your run.
Conclusion
Hidden buffs in the Vision of Orgrimmar offer a significant edge that can make a difference especially in a Full Masks run. While NPC spawns aren’t guaranteed, smart routing and careful exploration increase your chances of collecting multiple buffs in a single run.
