Reverting elite quests to elite like in Vanilla

With patch 2.3 of burning crusade, a lot of Elite quests from vanilla were changed from elite to solo

I think when doing vanilla as current content, it is very important to have those in their original state, it's a lot of additional social content
Also some of those quests were supposed to be part of vanilla's endgame and hurt the game design when soloable like the silithus stuff.

I have compiled a list of 254 vanilla quests that are elite in the vanilla mangos database, and not elite anymore in AC.

The work required to revert a quest to elite is :
- Changing the quest type to elite
- Changing the involved creatures ranks to elite and update their stats. Checking their health/mana is fairly easy, just check the values in cmangos classic database. Elites usualy have 3x health.
The damages can be a bit more tricky as those vanilla emulators don't use multipliers for damage, you can either check it from classic sniffs, or use a generic value for lower effort :
From my experience this is how outdoor elite dmgs are :

Level | Multiplier
-- | --
1-37 | 1.7
38-59 | 2.4
60+ | 4.6

_And named elites(bosses) usualy have about 15% extra from this value_

Sometimes mechanical changes are required, for example they changed Morbent Fel to turn into a weaker version of himself when weakened that is not elite. In vanilla you would have to kill the elite morbent fel and weakening him just makes him attackable. Make sure to understand whhat made the quest elite.

if someone is interested in helping, reach out. I have already done the work up until

278 | A Dark Threat Looms
-- | --

The issue provides a quest-ID list and says work is complete through quest 278, A Dark Threat Looms. Start by comparing each remaining quest with the Vanilla/Mangos reference and verify the requested quest and creature changes, including any mechanical differences. Done means the remaining identified quests are restored to their original elite behavior and their stats are checked.
