You'll most likely develop a certain dislike for that view.
He isn't a bad guy, but he needs to be convinced. Meanwhile, he'll try to convince
you
. This hurts.
You won't become best friends forever, but at least Lil'Dummy isn't dual wielding.
Note:
This Herald guide is outdated, please read the
Herald of the Titans
guide by Vills instead for up-to-date info.
Preamble
While other achievements like
百点俱乐部(25人)
, for example, are soloed nowadays and unlocked
en passant
, so to speak,
泰坦的使者
is a Feat of Strength granting a title reward and taking an entirely different route:
It is tied to character level
, and
it is tied to item level
, therefore neither outleveling nor outgearing the encounter presents an option (which is exactly the point of the achievement).
But since class mechanics in non-endgame character levels are not even remotely balanced against the content of antiquated expansions anymore, the very nature of this achievement has changed: The ambitious goal is
not
to impede
观察者奥尔加隆
, but to gather a full crew which is willing to make the effort of preparation for this impeding and to survive these preparations without losing anyone to boredom, insanity, or both.
The main goal of this guide is to assist the player who takes up the job of managing this group. It aims at providing a description of these preparations without going into too much character-specific detail, and at being a source of information to any other interested person. It falls short of being an in-depth BiS-list for each class and role (for this I'd refer to a dedicated thread at
twinkinfo.com
), a level 80 class guide, and it does not provide step-by-step instructions on how to best fight
观察者奥尔加隆
.
Let it be said, that in spite of all the rage political correctness has enjoyed for the last decade and a half, this guide will for the sake of simplicity adopt the widely accepted WoW-specific terminology of “5 or 10 man” instances – without intending to demean the skills and the commitment of all the awesome female players out there (the author is married and wishes to avoid severe frying pan punishment).
Author's Note - Warlords of Draenor
With WoD, several things have happened which have dwindled the need for the following guide. First of all, you have experienced another major game mechanics turnover, rendering legacy content even more soloable than it was before - and as if that has not been enough, yet, instances like
奥杜尔
have been slightly redesigned to
ensure
that they can be farmed easily by any character class at maximum character level (you remember
托里姆
? Yes, now you can solo the hard mode, too).
To equip a level 80 toon, just attach yourself to a healer class farming for
瓦兰奈尔,远古王者之锤
(or any other looking for
米米尔隆的头部
) for a run or two, fill the gaps with greens or heirlooms and you should be good to enlist yourself in a proper
OpenRaid.eu
(see below) group.
Since this guide's author (that'd be me) does not see much sense in putting hours into something which does not add value for anyone, anymore, this guide regrettably has reached its
end of lifecycle
- You may still read it for your pleasure or matters of historical research, but it'll stay as outdated as it is.
Thanks for your understanding.
Step 1: Planning the Composition
First of all: If you've chosen to manage such a crew, you are well advised to plan for more than 10 characters in total. It happens far too often that crew members lose faith, motivation, or opportunity for further participation. Since playing power games with
观察者奥尔加隆
isn't the really hard or time-consuming part anymore, it will serve your purpose to staff for spares and perform the dance several times with mixed lineups instead. If you stick with 10 strictly, you may find yourself forced into having to search for a replacement (with certain role and class requirements) for a buddy who cancelled his account 2 days before battle.
For the sake of completeness it has to be pointed out that one of the easiest ways of getting the title would be making use of cross-realm gaming communities:
OpenRaid.eu
(U.S. version
here
), for example, provides an easy way to the general public to find other players with similar interests. (It may be wise to skim over this guide, anyway.)
If you checked the Wowhead comments on the achievement, you already learned that some issues aren't issues anymore:
The awarded title can be used by any character on your account (given he is at least level 80).
Celestial Planetarium Key
is gone. You don't need a key to access the Celestial Planetarium anymore.
观察者奥尔加隆
does not vanish one hour after first pull, anymore. Take your time.
While nothing isn't really mission critical anymore, disadvantages will still stack up. You should aim for the best possible composition, and then check where you have to cut back.
嗜血
/
英勇
(Shamans), or
远古狂乱
(Beast Master with
熔岩犬
). At level 80, Mages are not in this business, yet.
Balanced composition with all raid buffs.
Death Knight Tank.
精通:鲜血护盾
takes the edge out of the tank switches.
People
other than the tank
being able to survive the
大爆炸
.
You may want to point out to the interested people that Cross-Realm-raids are usable for this project, too. Having no slot free on your main realm does not force anyone into using one of the existing toons, or exclude anyone from the list. If (and only if) you have fifty toons above level 80, you'd have to delete one for enabling you to participate in this project. This should be the case rather rarely.
The time frame is another matter you have to attend to in the planning phase: You'll have to provide something to the crew - they'll want to know your time table. If you start from scratch, it's most likely casting the crew first, and then deciding where to put your milestones, since you may find a very inhomogeneous initial situation with some people having their toons in the twenties, and some ready for gearing up. Adapt to the situation: If you plan to farm
奥杜尔
, you'll need some people on their level 90 characters, anyway.
Step 2: Hitting the '80'
Leveling up the toon of choice is a task which can be done in single-user mode. Both content redesign and heavy use of heirlooms (and guild perks) allow to raise a toon in a few days, even solo and without running instances. If you even managed to lay hands on a
远古知识药剂
(from
“利刃”科罗尔
or
烈焰祭司阿克鲁斯
), plan its use wisely and maybe get some "rested" bonus for it. In case one or two members in your crew don't know where to start, point them to the
WowHead Guide Section: "New Players & Leveling"
.
The shortest way to settle the issue, however, needs some real money:
Recruit-a-Friend
(massive XP bonus) needs a buddy paying for some playtime - but it speeds up matters undisputable - and it comes with additional benefits. The
Scroll of Ressurection
got its burn notice
Feb '14
, so the famous one-click-solution is out of business).
After reaching level 80 it is strongly recommended to turn off XP gaining. Granted,
奥杜尔
would not add much to it, but farming ICC5 for weapons excessively (see below), and doing some quests may be enough for an additional level and one just doesn't want to have the toon spoiled unexpected. So this 10 pieces of gold are well invested: The deed is to be done at
贝斯滕
(
暴风城
, the Keep; in the War Room which is to the King's left hand) or
斯拉兹
(
奥格瑞玛
, Valley of Wisdom; on a building top). Remind your crew doing it, the decision can be taken back later, anyway.
A note about professions:
Since patch 5.4 it is business as usual: Just ask your crew to pick professions which support the class and role they are playing and raise them to skill level 450. One
can
push the professions to 600,
if it pleases
, but there is no tremendous all-that-really-matters advantage anymore: The professions' benefits are scaled down to your character level bracket (for example: Leatherworking 600 grants 500 agility on bracers for a character level 90, this is scaled down to 50 for character level 80, which is exactly what you'd get with skill level 450). It is mentioned here, because the easiest way to raise the profession skills is, as usual, doing it while leveling the character. You process through the right zones for the resources needed, and you may even get some XP acquiring them.
Step 3: Equipment permitted for purpose
Unfortunately, it is not "anything goes". Let
瓦兰奈尔,远古王者之锤
rest in your treasure vault (you don't have this one on a level 80 toon anyway, do you), any variation of
奎尔德拉,信仰之力
should join it there... As well as most other items available in the
Lich King
content.
The rules can be boiled down to:
Maximum item level for equipment (including trinkets): 226
Maximum item level for weapons, shields, off-hands items: 232
Off-hand items are subject to discussion on regular basis. They qualify perfectly for item level 232, but if you feel uncomfortable, you may pick up a staff as well.
"Do I have to get all BiS gear?!". We answered this question with a 'no'. Don't let the best picks escape as style gear for others and keep an eye on trinkets, but don't throw in months to get the BiS cloak for your healer, unless you plan exceptional stunts (skip
大爆炸
, get through with some 'green' clothed crew members, cast only druids for the job ...).
The Drop
In most cases the gear of choice has to be taken from the cold and soon-to-be stiff hands of a boss-level enemy (if the boss in question features any hands, of course). It is serving your purpose if you don't let your complete crew roll on needed gear or even distribute it round-robin; it is better to aim on completing on character after another, with the purpose to enable people to switch to their level 90 main characters as soon as possible. It is important to explain this to the crew.
奥杜尔
25-man
is the largest and most important source of gear. Almost all slots are covered with maximum level (however not everything is BiS here). Normal mode
equipment
drops with item level 226,
weapons
with item level 232. Neither hard mode loot nor loot from
观察者奥尔加隆
can be used: Item level 239 isn't available in the 10-man version and doesn't meet the achivement requirements.
Two level 90 toons are sufficient for running the instance, if you round up five of them, you can do Yogg-Saron in
黑暗中的独影(25人)
-mode and maintain a chance on
米米尔隆的头部
as a motivator for the supporting crew.
奥杜尔
10-man
would be a nice fall back in general (two level 90 toons are enough for a very fast run including the hard modes), but the
10-man and 25-man version share their ID
. Common item level is 219 (which is quite usable), but hard mode loot and booty from
观察者奥尔加隆
matches the achivement requierements exactly (226 for
equipment
, 232 for
weapons
). It may be advisable to run
奥杜尔
25-man, skipping
观察者奥尔加隆
and return in small groups (you'll need two level 90 characters in each group) to defeat
观察者奥尔加隆
in 10-man. It should be pointed out that in whole
奥杜尔
shield loot table
there are only two item level 232 shields in
奥杜尔
: Both drop in
霍迪尔
10-man hard mode.
克尔苏加德
in
纳克萨玛斯
25-man
,
玛里苟斯
in
永恒之眼
25-man
,
萨塔里奥
in
黑曜石圣殿
25-man
are providing
booty to go
and can be harvested with a small level 90 support crew (in case of
克尔苏加德
this crew should be exactly
one
level 90 character who has to remain target of
克尔苏加德
all time - and if you think item level 213 is enough you might want to clear the wings, too). They provide
loot
up to maximum permitted item level - and even some of the lesser objects are BiS (e.g.
龙魂图典
).
十字军的试炼
10-man normal mode
provides loot with item level 232 and is useful as source for
weapons
and
shields
/
off-hand
. Since one level 90 character (given proper class and gear) is as much support as needed, this is quite nice.
奥妮克希亚
in
奥妮克希亚的巢穴
10-man
is, for
weapons
at least, of some interest, too. The Grand Dame can be defeated easily these days, too.
阿尔卡冯的宝库
depends on the current
冬拥湖
status; may be you have to be a bit lucky to gain access to
风暴看守者埃玛尔隆
, who may have tier 8 tokens (trousers and gloves) for you.
萨隆矿坑
,
灵魂洪炉
, and
映像大厅
- commonly refered to as "ICC5" - provide in normal mode item level 219
equipment
, which is a nice fall back, and the harvesting is not restricted by any daily or even weekly ID (but by the hourly instance limit only). You may get almost everything out of ICC5, but it will take some time - the loot tables are rather long. In heroic mode it is down to 'daily' and limited to
weapons
(and one
item
held in the off-hand). But "daily" is still better than "weekly", some items are BiS and, of course, one level 90 support buddy is enough for keeping the receiving level 80 character on
auto-run
.
冠军的试炼
(heroic)
is often considered as a sting in the butt for solo-runs, because the first encounter (the joust) has its lengths if you are alone. But in this case, you won't be alone: With the three heroes coming in and picking on the poor level 80 guy a level 90 damage dealer can send them into dust from afoot easily. Take a close look into the
normal mode loot table
as well: There may be a item level 200 BiS trinket in there.
The Quest
Quest rewards may be a nice topping, and are quite useful to fill a hole and let a player switch from the level 80 to the level 90 support team.
Whoever wants to have item level 226 at one's neck but hasn't had any loot luck, may pick up
英雄聚焦之虹的钥匙
from
英雄聚焦之虹的钥匙
(drops once per kill from
萨菲隆
in
纳克萨玛斯
(which is right on your way to
克尔苏加德
, lucky you!). Carry it to
阿莱克丝塔萨,生命的缚誓者
, next kill
玛里苟斯
(très chique, too), and you are done. You'll get one of
龙眠强能项链
,
生命缚誓者颈饰
,
巨龙女王的恩赐
, and
魔枢战争勇士珠串
.
Hint: If you die in the last phase, reclaim your body at the
灵魂医者
and walk into the instance alive - you'll get your dragon, then.
If you have
观察者奥尔加隆
(
10 man
on your To-Do already, try to get
回复代码阿尔法
as well. The quest with the most wonderful name in Azeroth -
结果好,一切都好
- will lead you to one of
天空使者斗篷
,
阳光斗篷
,
布莱恩的焊接戒指
, and
星芒徽记
.
The Craft
Every class and role should be able to find a
belt
and something for their
feet
to wear in the list of craftable items. The
blue prints
drop in
奥杜尔
, which is fine since your crew will become regulars there, anyway.
A
short list
of item level 200 kludges can be crafted too (all the other rest is stuff with frost resist). You may want to pick them as last resort.
Considered BiS or at least "Second Best" by some classes and roles are the
Lich King
Darkmoon card ultimates. Buddies with a certain skill of Inscription may provide
高尚套牌
, which can be traded into one of
暗月卡片:伟大
,
暗月卡片:伟大
,
暗月卡片:伟大
, and
暗月卡片:伟大
.
Greatness or no Greatness?
Taking into account that
暗月北地卡片
will come up with one of thirty-two cards (and the deck needs
高尚之一
to
高尚之八
)
the very low AH and channel trade on
Lich King
Darkmoon cards
the little value of any other
Lich King
Darkmoon card and decks
... we concluded that the tons of herbs needed for just one
高尚套牌
, certainly does not look like it's worth the efforts. We asked around if one of our old insanes (who did
你疯了吧?!
with
Lich King
Darkmoon card sets) was lazy enough not to sell the
Greatness
cards and any left-overs immediately (they all did, unfortunately), and checked if cards and/or decks can be picked at acceptable prices from the auction house (which wasn't the case). Then we decided to choose other trinkets.
The Deal
正义点数
may seal a deal for
belts
,
gloves
,
trousers
(and such), and
amulets
with item level 226; monks should take special care of this, since they lack an own tier 8 raid set. Cloaks, bracers (not soulbound!), boots, rings, shields, offhands and trinkets may be available as
kludge
with item level 200-213, as well.
If you part from a good chunk of your money pouch easily you should pay a visit to
哈罗德·温斯顿
in Dalaran. He is one of the Jewelry guys - and he has really fine rings for sale. The item level ranges from 200 to 251, so buy the proper basic model (200) and then double check that you upgrade to the 'etched' one (226 - one of
肯瑞托铭刻指环
,
肯瑞托铭刻指箍
,
肯瑞托铭刻戒指
and
肯瑞托铭刻徽记
). Total cost of ownership: 6825g - 9750g (which may require a certain level of dedication).
爱莉丝·月梦
(located in
海加尔山
) and
石语者埃鲁纳克
/
石语者埃鲁纳克
(located in
柯尔普萨之森
of
瓦丝琪尔
) sell uncommon gear with item level 232, to ease the pain for undergeared characters starting into
Cataclysm
content. Although we made no use of the things they sell,
everything carried in hands
should fit in. It feels a great deal like cheating, but this covers pretty much everything regarding weapons, however: The general item quality is (despite equal item levels)
inferior
to the 232 purples.
An additional approach to get some gear is making use of
, which can be obtained easily in the usual ways (battleground, arena, ...) or
daily pvp quests
in
灰熊丘陵
. The
冬拥湖
quarter masters (
骑士达米隆
/
石头守卫穆卡尔
) offer
a long list
of somewhat useful gear. "Somewhat", since it
is
pvp gear and therefore usually three thirds of one secondary attribute of each item is wasted - but wearing a reforged
白金巫术圆盘
is superior to leaving a trinket slot empty, anyway.
Heirlooms - yes or no?
Heirlooms
do qualify as gear for
泰坦的使者
, and since most of your crew
will
have a rich uncle to inherit something from, the question is risen with good cause. The answer is, with utter conviction, "well, ... probably.". The purpose of heirlooms is not to provide BiS for a given character level, but to provide a suitable baseline - their itemisation budget at level 80 is somewhere between the budgets of an item level 187 rare and an item level 200 epic (see e.g. comparisons of
Ranged Weapons
or
Agility Mail Shoulders
). However: Heirlooms carry attributes which are useful today, and the ancient garb may not suit you best. Long story short: It's better than nothing, it may be able to keep up with kludges you otherwise may have to spend gold on, but it's not even close to the BiS gear.
Summary
To build personal To-Do lists, your crew should make use of the wowhead item search (e.g.
all weapons
, or
all trinkets
).
Experience has shown that old classes are vested nearly completely after only 1-3
奥杜尔
25-man runs (given low/no competition on items, which depends on your planning). Monks suffer a bad handicap since they are not included in the tier 8 raid set, which leaves them with exactly one drop for a slot much too often. If you have to make some people switch to their 90 support characters, try to spare the monks. Having a monk dual-spec should be avoided for the same reason.
We've seen it as best practice to take level 80 characters out of the
奥杜尔
25-man crew as soon as all but one or two slots are taken care of, the remaining slots are to be filled with gear from other sources, for which a single level 90 support character is sufficient to harvest. Despite the shiny mount as probable reward, staffing the level 90 support crew may be one of your core problems during preparations and you may need everyone who can switch from the level 80 character to the support team. Performing more than one run in one evening (rotating the toons) wore the crew out too much, and on the other side is not having the ultimative BiS gear not even close to be of a problem.
Intermission: Tending to the Gear
It should go without explanation that freshly picked gear needs some attention.
If you still have character specialisations to chose from, you should make the decision now. It's about time.
For enchants and such, things might get complicated: You can (of course) stick with the
Lich King
enchants, but if you choose to get the best without compromises, you may want to pick some
Cataclym
enchants (see below).
Use your profession perks.
For gems, it is a bit difficult.
Technically
, gems should scale through the whole range of releases. However, even
Cataclym
gems are restricted to an item level not usable for this achievement. Furthermore, some gems are weaker than they should be - e.g.
致密巨锆石
, which should be very much the same as
致密风暴宝钻
, grants stamina equal to blue quality
致密天蓝石
. So, if you want to max out your gear, check wowhead first.
Reforge. The easiest way is to put some faith in addons like
ReforgeLite
, cross-check that the addon's intentions seem to match your expectations and go for it. For some classes this means reforging almost everything to mastery rating. Don't ask
Mr. Robot
, he doesn't know anything about old content, he's more of a bleeding edge guy.
A note on enchants:
To substitute an enchant of your current equipment level bracket with a stronger one of equal type will
never
lead to better numbers - the strong enchant will scale down for your gear - at best to the same numbers as the matching enchants, but probably not even that. This should apply to gems, too, but gems still have item level restrictions. Picking unmatching gems and enchants may have a good purpose anyway: (a) You want attributes on a gem/enchant that does not exist for the tier you are staffing for: Mastery rating wasn't in the world in the Age of Arthas Menethil, but can be used today in Arthas' domain and character level bracket as well. (b) You want the special effects of an enchant which wasn't available in the tier you are staffing for: For example, the number of run speed enchants for boots has risen - there may be a better one for you than
海象人的活力
. The weapon enchants vary in their effects most of all - and may be subject of discussions, too.
The omnipresent and still literally resourceful internet happily provides us a spreadsheet (according to the sheet, credits go to
Aelobin @ The Maelstrom (EU)
, who is, by the way, one of the exceptional contributors to the achievement's user comment pages, as well) which enables you to check wether enchants or gems of a higher level bracket should be put in use or not:
5.4 Live - Enchants & Gems
.
Lich King
gems can be looted (e.g.
奥妮克希亚
), or bought for 220
正义点数
in Dalaran.
Step 4: Meet your friend, the Training Dummy
(not scoped for this guide)
Normally, training dummy numbers don't have much meaning for raiding on the current content progress. But for this project you may have several members in your crew which chose to play a class / role they have not played before - so it is quite natural to ask them to not only studying some guides on
Icy Veins
or
Elitist Jerks
, but doing their share of practice on a level 80 training dummy, too, and adjust their GUI to the newly found class.
You might even say that
观察者奥尔加隆
isn't much more than a training dummy. It usually needs one toon only for putting manageable ends on each
坍缩之星
. However - even the melees should be able to see an incoming
宇宙重击
and react. During training dummy practice, this has not happened to me, yet.
For your tanks and healers it is advisable to let them having reviewed their playstyle by a buddy who know their classes' mechanic to more extent than just basic rotation.
Intermission: Consumables
It's literally
all you can eat
: Whatever the game lets your toon consume, your toon may. This means, basically, making use of the Cataclysm flasks, potions, and food.
Flask:
神龙心智合剂
Potion:
火山药水
Food:
切下的鼠尾鱼头
Flask:
风行合剂
Potion:
托维尔药水
Food:
串烧白鳝
Flask:
泰坦之力合剂
Potion:
魔像之血药水
Food:
啤酒烤鳄鱼
Flask:
流水合剂
Potion:
奇效法力药水
Food:
美味的鼠尾鱼尾巴
Flask:
钢皮合剂
Potion:
奇效治疗药水
/
土灵药水
Food: depends, e.g.
清蒸熔鳞鱼
Just for comparison: This was
Lich King Style
:
速度药水
, or
无情突袭合剂
.
For Flasks and Food the efforts may be somewhat socialiseable using
战斗药锅
and
海鲜盛宴
.
Of course, you may use
幸运饼干
as a wild card. And maybe you'll be lucky.
Final step: Meet & Greet with the Titans' sidekick
(not scoped for this guide)
Right before pulling, ensure that your crew's gear isn't violating the achievement's constraints (max item level 232 for weapons and off-hand items, 226 for everything else - just in case you do not want to scroll up). Let them run this snipplet of code (it is based on the script posted in the achievement's comments by
fakeh
).
/run c=0 for i=1,19 do d=GetInventoryItemID('player',i); if d then _,n,_,l = GetItemInfo(d);if l>226 then if i<16 or i>17 or l>232 then c=c+1 print(l,n) end end end end print(c,"issues found")
This script will do:
Run through the player's equipment. For each slot do the following:
Check if
the item level is greater than 226. If that's the case:
Check if
it is greater than 232 or neither main hand (slot id 16) nor off-hand (slot id 17) slot. If that's the case, too:
Paste the item link and the item level into the chat, for you must not use it in this fight.
Increment the incident counter.
After all that has been done, paste the total number of incidents (basically for having a confirmation the macro has indeed been run).
The encounter mechanics can be
looked up easily
, as a baseline
WowWiki
may be refered to. Note that the whole encounter lives on timers, so the most dangerous things can be anticipated easily: In the progress days, raids did not have too much trouble with the unexpected (like closing holes, because the guy running in front of you had aggro from a constellation) for too long, but with the sheer enormity of the numbers; a dps race against a very hard and fast hitting enemy. So, just a few notes on the 'doing':
Encourage your crew to having a boss mod active and installing the modules for the
Lich King
content as well (if you don't see timers for
宇宙重击
and
大爆炸
, you haven't).
The fallen should never ever set free their spirits until the encounter either has resetted or the achievement has been unlocked (the button to do so activates several seconds before the achievement is granted).
If even just three dps pushed their gear and know their classes you'd see no more than one
大爆炸
. Cast
嗜血
/
英勇
early.
... and, indeed, all is well that ends well.

2014-06-07 It looks like gems still carry their item level restrictions and one may fear this will not change soon. Additionally, some gems can be thought of being buggy... this needed a mention, too. Thanks to
Esploratore
for bringing both to attention.

These days you can easy use services like the ones
www.openraid.eu
uses.
Some people there makes these kind of events once a week or sometimes even more then once.
If youre up to it, id say check it out! :)
Filtered search with events at Openraid.eu
-------------------------------------
You need:
Level 80 (
Scroll of resurrection
is removed from the game)
Armor/Relic ilvl 226 MAX
Weapon/Offhand/Range 232 MAX
Cataclysm food + potions
How to get gear:
- Get a boost through Ulduar
10N/10H
/
25N
.
-
Onyxia 10man
and
TOC10N
might drop something useful.
- Farm ICC 5 man Normal dungeons for 219 armor.
The Forge of Souls
Pit of Saron
Halls of Reflection
- Farm ICC 5 man Heroic dungeons for 232 weapons.
The Forge of Souls
Pit of Saron
Halls of Reflection
- Farm TOC 5 man Normal for some BiS trinkets.
- Farm TOC 5 man Heroic for 219 armor/weapons.
- Get 226 belt and boots crafted.
- Farm cataclysm randoms for Justice Points.
A LOT of gear can be purchased through Justice Point vendors in Dalaran (near the Auction House).
You don't need to be full 226 gear, aim for approx 220 average(ish).
Gem and enchant appropriately. You can use the ICC epic gems (+20 stats) and some cataclysm enchants.
-------------------------------------
To keep your character from leveling higher for any reason, follow these steps:
For the Horde:
Go to the Hall of the Brave, Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.
Look for and talk to
Slahtz
.
For 10Gold he will put a hold on all experience points earned. You can enable your experience again by seeing Slahtz and paying another 10Gold.
For the Alliance:
Go to the War Room, Stormwind Keep in Stormwind City.
Look for and talk to
Behsten
.
For 10Gold he will put a hold on all experience points earned. You can enable your experience again by seeing Behsten and paying another 10Gold.

The weapons from Hyjal say ilvl 232, but when you compare them to even 226 gear, they have lower stats by quite a bit.

I've recently acquired this title after multiple wipes with my Herald's group, so i've come to offer some insight of Algalon on 10M.
DBM is a must
Vent/Mumble/etc is very necessary.
This is a damage heavy fight. Healers, take care to be always ready to do some heavy raid healing when Collapsing Stars are killed. Raid Leaders, please announce a count down on Collapsing Star deaths so healers will have ample time to react. Also, always keep the tank's health topped off.
Typically, what wipes groups the most is
宇宙重击
. He summons a small red radial directly under a random player in which a meteor will drop in that location after 2-3 seconds. Players that do not move away from this will
usually
get one-shotted; players close to it will receive heavy damage because of its splash damage around the radial, so please, everyone should move far away from it. There will be a warning: "Algalon the Observer begins to cast Cosmic Smash!"---when you see this, check your position, and others, for the red indicator. It may seem as simple as "get out of the fire", but this red fissure is small (about the size of a player), and its view can be obstructed by Living Constellations.
Prior to entering a Black Hole (to avoid the
大爆炸
), look around the area to see where other Black Hole locations are. It is very possible to enter a Black Hole, run around (to avoid adds), then leave the Black Hole dimension once its duration is up, only to enter another Black Hole because you spawned on top of it.
It can be beneficial for the person eating a Big Bang to also receive a
痛苦压制
, or
牺牲祝福
(with
被烧毁的雕文
). A
真言术:盾
with a
愈合祷言
will also prove very beneficial .
At the current state of DPS at level 80, you should only be Big Bang'd once. Use a
暴怒之鼓
if there is no available Bloodlust (Mages do not get Time Warp until 84) to ensure this. With exceptional DPS, you may not even be hit by a Big Bang at all (zerging him to 20% before 90 seconds).

You can also buy an ilvl 226 ring, for example
肯瑞托铭刻指环
from
哈罗德·温斯顿
in Dalaran. It is quite expensive though.

Scroll of ressurection doesnt work anymore.
Just a heads up.

I'm curious, does anyone know of a guide to which professions offer which stats/perks at 450? I've been trying to figure out what professions to go with, but all of the guides say "pick one that fits for your class" or it refers to pre-5.4 information.

Hello, does anyone know if is it possible to use heirloom gear for this?

A warning for LWers: at level 80,
gives 102 stamina. Once you hit 500 LW, this spell is automatically upranked but due to scaling, the upranked version only gives 78 stamina. And there is no option to use the lower rank of the spell.
A similar downscale occurs with Heavy Leg Reinforcements rank 3, though you have the option of
霜皮腿甲片
. Check the scaling on other versions of linings and reinforcements.
I recommend you obtain your bracers and line them before pushing LW up to 600.

Nice guide I have to say,
but
I have to point out a mistake on gems: you are right that even mop and cata enchants can be used if you for instance don't find a wotlk version or the wotlk version is at inflated price, and that they scale down to your gear if not even lower if you take cata\mop ones,
but as for gems they don't only scale down, they also are still (as of the date of this comment) impossible to use on herald of the titans items, even starting cata gems require item level 285 or so! So as for gems, wotlk is the only option still, not because of the scaling, but because of the item level needed.
Also noticed that some gems, like
solid majestic zircon
, stamina epic one,
if you check them with a 90 they give 30 stam, if you check them (and get them) with an 80 they only give 24 stam
. How comes? 24 stam is exactly like blue quality wotlk gems give, so why is still scaling down happening even if they are wotlk gems?

You may add to gearing section info about
honor points
gear - Wintergrasp Quartermasters sell ilvl 226 bracers and few rings for 280 hp each, which is quite nice additon, as honor is easy to obtain. They also sell ilvl 213 gear (including trinkets).
Easy way to farm honor are daily pvp quests in Grizzly Hills.

And thank you for your guide - I was using it preparing my group for herald. :)

Just curious about the "gear" section. I didn't see any mention as to whether you can still use a belt buckle for that extra slot. The belt buckles from Cata seem alot less hassle to make and can be used at level 80 but not sure if that is out of bounds as far as gear goes. I would hate to be the one in the raid with a Cata belt buckle and everyone was wearing an Ebonsteel one
Shoulder enchants from MoP require 85 so if you aren't interested in grinding Hodir rep I think Wintergrasp shoulder chants still might be worth using.
I'm just typing this up from memory atm, I am currently gearing my 80 Priest and am listing some things I didn't find in the guide but did come across in-game. Correct me if I missed something

Hey everyone did this achievement today with a group of 8 people, can confirm this absolutely works with Heirloom gear, a number of the guys were using it (one person was basically a fresh 80 with full heirlooms).
I would recommend the healers are fairly well geared though, 2 resto shamans; me with just about full BiS and fully enchanted, the other was the fresh 80, and we did have a couple of deaths although still got Alg down with relative ease on the first try.

thanx buddy, all in one place:) going to try 5-man multibox "solo" this week, finally..

It falls short of being an in-depth BiS-list for each class and role (for this I'd refer to a dedicated thread at twinkinfo.com)
Link is a bit busted. The actual thread still exists, but all of the links in said thread to the actual pieces of armor are now broken.
Also, Justice Points and Reforging have been removed from the game.

Does anyone know if this is still obtainable in WoD?

I have a silly question, the achievement says that you have to defeat Algalon in 10 normal mode at lvl80 BUT no one in the raid have to be more than X item level, so, my question is, if i go with my friend, beeing me lvl 100 with less than the required item level and my friend is lvl 80 with less than the required item level for the achievement, will he able to complete the achivement?
I mean, no one in the raid is wearing anything more than x itmlvl, and it doesn't say anything about the other level of the people in the raid.
Sorry for my bad english, but is a question have to make 'cause this achievement is awesome.
EDIT: It says you only have to kill Algalon with those restrictions, but what about the other bosses?

Some update for 6.2
While having best gear and preparations is not 100% required,it surely helps and can compensate for one mistake/one raid member less geared.I got this today,in a pug group,with no voice com,after maybe 12 attempts(the 3% wipe was quite irritating,few more hits and he would've been defetead).
The fight is,mechanic wise,easiest than any WoD raid.Avoiding cosmic smash and understanding how the big bang part works is required.He hit quite hard on tanks,some classes are more suited for the fight(at 80 as blood dk i had a much easier time than my cotank guardian)
Gear-get 2 set pieces from dalaran(helm+chest).Boots and belt crafted-ulduar recipes are great.The rest,depends,more sockets/4 piece set-better .
Enchant-WoD rings,neck,cloak,weapon(mastery is OP at 80;if you are DK,rune of fallen crusader is best weapon enchant,and the self healing+ absorbtion of a blood dk tank is really huge,also eating the big bang with CD not an issue).MoP for hands,wrists,boots;stamina kits for legs and shoulders;one extra socket buckle for waist
Gems-TBC epics are best,with mats easily found in raids like BT(where are a lot of other interesting stuff to do)
Flasks/Pots/Foods-Cata ones;try to get the mats or even prepare them yourself,are quite rare on AH
Drums of Fury or a shaman are helpfull,BL at start(which is 6 sec after the first pull).
Take it seriously-but have fun.Too bad Blizz did not preserved other old raid challenges-and titles-restricting the gear in the same way...(Naxx or TotC ,I'm looking at you :) )

Legacy set bonuses do not seem to work any longer as of Legion Pre-Expansion Patch, 7.0.3. even at the correct level for the set.
ALL Gem slots are now prismatic for old gear so you can just gem flat primary stats.

Please, can this be updated? Blizz have made legacy sets unusable, even at the correct level, and this needs to be added.
