World of Warcraft offers a range of experiences and captivating quests with every expansion. Even so, the Undermine in The War Within expansion has still proven to be one of the most complex dungeons in the game.
One feature that sets this dungeon apart is the SCRAP Heap. Players hoping to complete Mythic+ runs through sheer effort (or a WoW M+ boost service) need to know how best to navigate this tricky location, and we’ve teamed up with our friends at Skycoach to help.
About Undermine
Bridging the gap between the goblin city Kezan and everything else, Undermine is a testament to goblin innovation and creativity – and their less than stellar attempts at waste disposal.
The design of Undermine truly exhibits the ‘goblin way’ of engineering, which is…chaotic. It is accompanied by moving platforms, spinning machines, and, of course, the SCRAP Heap. A highly valuable resource and a trash compactor.
So what IS the SCRAP Heap?
The SCRAP (Systematically Contained Refuse Accumulation Protocol) Heap is a massive waste disposal system at the heart of Undermine. It’s not just a simple trash pile but a complex mechanical structure where goblins dispose of failed inventions, industrial byproducts, and anything else they no longer need.
Choosing the War Within best class for your playstyle can have a significant impact on how efficiently you handle these mechanics, as certain abilities and strategies can make navigating the SCRAP Heap much easier.
SCRAP Heap Achievements and Rewards
Mastering the SCRAP Heap element of the game can lead to several achievements too, not only:
- Master Recycler: Successfully use every type of SCRAP terminal ability in a single run
- Waste Not, Want Not: Complete the dungeon without wasting any SCRAP resources
- Scrappy Fighter: Defeat all bosses using SCRAP-based skills to counter their major mechanics
These achievements provide bragging rights and contribute to the “Underminer” meta-achievement that rewards a unique mount.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced players can make errors when dealing with the SCRAP Heap system though. This includes hoarding resources – as saving SCRAP for later often means missing out on benefits when they’re needed most.
Then there’s the possibility of ignoring SCRAP during combat, as you can focus so intently on combat you miss valuable SCRAP drops.
Then there are uncoordinated purchases, as without communication party members might buy redundant buffs. Finally you can overlook Situational Benefits, as some SCRAP abilities are highly situational but incredibly powerful in the right circumstances.
This is just a brief overview of The SCRAP Heap then, but it’s safe to say that it’s far more than just a dungeon gimmick. It’s a fully realized system that adds depth and strategic options to Undermine. Mastering this mechanic separates casual runners from serious Mythic+ pushers – make sure you fall into the latter category!
