Zarhym (NPC)

Last wiki revision 2021-12-27

Zarhym is found inside the Cavern of Lost Spirits on the northern side of Timeless Isle. He starts the "Zarhym Altogether" event:

  • Alright. I need some help... I'm lookin' for my body. It's somewhere in this cave, but you can only see it if you're in the spirit world. If you want to help me find it, let me know.
  • Be warned, though. The Timeless Spirits can kick us out of the spirit world, and I don't think I'm strong enough to get you back in there for a while if they do.

In this phased version of the area, the only mobs, Timeless Spirits, are mogu ghosts that are immune to damage, have an aggro radius marked on the ground, and will eject players from the spirit realm upon completion of a 4-second channel. Explore the area looking for Spirit Chests while avoiding the aggro radii of all of the spirits. Chests have 30-60x Timeless Coin, 10-100x Valor Points, and 4-20x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune. Each chest may only be looted once during the event.

The skeletal remains of Zarhym's body are found at / at the end of the cavern, and will reward ~150x Timeless Coin, ~10x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune, and 1 timeless armor token. Zarhym just brushes it off though, preferring to stay without it.

Zarhym will start the event once a day for players.

This, of course, is a cameo of Community Manager Jonathan Brown of the Blizzard forums, who uses the screen name Zarhym and is known for his ghost skull avatar.

It's possible that the spirit world in this case means the Blizzard forums, and the Timeless Spirits that kick him out of the spirit world represent negative forum posters who drag down the experience, forcing him to take a break. His eventual rejection of his body and desire to float around freely may indicate his happiness with time spent on the forums interacting with the community in various contexts.
