Spider and plauge were easiest IMO (provided you have people that can dance and spore dance.

Deathknight wing is the hardest of the lot but razuvious is a joke so I'd do him before patchwerk.

Past that I'd finish abomination wing then finish off the instance.

Malygos on 10-man remains a pain (phase 3 FTL) but still something you can do in 1 evening of attempts.

You could do the chamber of aspects & wintergrasp bosses easily (we 1-shotted both) too. They're rediclously easy.

Unrelated: We killed all of the world leaders with a raid group of 10-13 (started small, and grew through the night). 5AM raids FTW.

I know you can only have one death knight per server, and you must have a lvl 55 toon on each server you want to create a death knight on.

But, if I have say a 58 death knight on one server, then transfer him over to another server, could I then make another death knight on the original server? Anyone know? :)

I've got the Hall instances and the Spider one's to clear on heroic and I'l have all heroic's done. None of them are overly hard, and ya we wiped but we really had no clue what trash nor bosses did in heroic so we might have been a bit to careful. I dunno, the ones we have run multiply times, it seem like the time for them is getting shorten by a few minutes each time (Pinnacle took 53 mins). Didn't raid last night as we literally had like 4 guildies all ding at various times last time. So today is going to be the first all guild 10 man.

I plan on doing Chamber of Aspects boss first. Watching video's and learing (no drakes up, not yet at least). I'll tank him facing the east, DK and one or two ranged on the adds killing them, when not on adds back to boss. If the Lava wave comes from my backside (right facing him before you pull) the safe zones are the middle of the dirt areas. But when the Lava Wave comes from the left (when facing him before pull) the safe zones are the little "lava rock paths" that are directly beside where I tank him and and we pass the other as we go in.

What I Plan on doing is tanking him against the lava path below him, if lava comes behind me, melee runs through him to the clear area, and ranged should already be in the middle to avoid the lava wave (i'll attempt to move him sideways a bit to avoid it). Then if it comes from the left melee stands on the lava crack that's beside boss and ranged either moves foward to the one melee on, or move back to the one in the back (which I think should still put them in range for heals/dps). Rinse and repeat.

Only thing I can't find out is fighting the drakes before killing him. Assume tank and spank, when portals come up all go in except the tank and one(or 2?) healers kill the eggs/disciple) rinse and repeat?

I was wondering what happens if you transfer your main toon to a different server, if you only have that toon and the DK, what happens to the DK?

Ran a guildy through Sunken Temple today.. just finished it a second ago.

While I'd love to say that Dragon's Call dropped.. it didn't. That sword is so damn rare, something like 1 in 12,000 runs gets it.

I also have to say that I ****ing HATE the layout of ST. I wish they'd redo it like they did with Naxx.

It's so confusing!

Ah well.. benefits: The guildy I ran through got his Horns of Eranikus and we both got the ST Completion achievement.

They never redid the layout of Naxx, all they did with naxx was tune the bosses to support a raid size of 10 or 25, the layout is still the same.

So, for those that hit 80 now, I was wondering, can you level from 70 to 80, purely on solo quest XP. Like without dungeons, or elites mobs? And without having to grind to make up some XP?

Thanks.

Elite mobs? you mean group quests? you can skip afew sure.. but at this time in WotLK im pretty sure you'll easily find a group for whatever quest your on to finish that group quest.

but as far as dungeons are concern, yes. If you do dungeons as well, you'll hit level 80 with alot of quests still to go. If you dont do dungeons, you'll hit level 80 in the last zone of WotLK. Just remember to do every quest you can and dont skip any.

We finished the Plague wing and killed Grobbulus today(For those keeping count the only bosses left are Gluth, Thaddius and 4H, plus the frost wing).

Got a nice shield from Grobbulus and Loetheb dropped some nice tanking legs.

Absolutely.

Not only that, but I was also able to make the achievements in each zone I leveled in (Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragon Blight, and Scholozar Basin) without doing the dungeon quests or the 5-person group quests. Some zones have more extra quests than others but you can almost always skip some.

On top of the 4 zones I cleared I did about 5 quests in Zul'Drak (Storm Giant) 20 in Storm Peaks (unlocking Sons of Hadar), and 40 in Ice Crown (finishing off 79-80). So I have more-or-less 3 full zones worth of quests I could do.

I didn't really do dungeons on my way to 80. 1 Nexus, Old Kingdom, Anub'Arak, and Drak'Thorn keep. And 3 or 4 trips through Violet Hold to pass the time. Each trip through a dungeon offered 2-3 "bubbles" worth of experience which is what you'd get from about 10-15 quests. When I hit 80 I started running heroics / raids because my level 70 gear is good enough to skip the "gear up" process in the normal mode dungeons.

How long does it take to get from 70 to 80 on average?

Depends on how you play. The game shipped Midnight Thursday and by Monday my guild had cleared to Kel'Thuzad in Naxx 10-man. On the other side of things, I've got friends who are banging in to level 73-74 right now and probably won't see 80 until close to Christmas Time.

You'll need about 40-80 hours of play time to hit level 80 depending on the quality of your starting gear, the class you play, the amount of PVP on your server, the co-operativeness of other players (group quests), and how much time you spend messing around with leveling professions, etc.

Took me roughly 60 hours to ding. I ran every about 7 instances on normal (speed pulls max run was 25 minutes), rest was pure questions. I got the quest achievements for every zone I leveld in spare Basin (gotta do the faction quests for Frenzyheart to finish that out). I didn't touch Icecrown nor Storm peaks while leveling and still haven't (need to for the dailies that open up and the gold). If I didn't do those instances I'd probally end up either clearing or getting halfway through Storm Peaks and dinging. I did every quest in the zone, that includes the 5-15 after the achievement also.

Sarathion down, and finished Plague wing. Thinking tonight we will down Razuuvious then go to work on Patchwerk and co in the Construct Quater. Gotta say Heigan was awesome to do, such a nice fight to see who read strategies ahead of time and who didn't. Plus phase two is awesome, can't wait to do it on heroic. :)

Yeah, the cinematic is awesome

Oh and I'm not sure if this goes for US players today but for all EU players, log in to get the 4 years of WoW anniversary achievement and a cute little Blizzard bear.

The rest of the quest is amazing. I wonder if we will see any of those fallen as bosses. I can't wait to see what this quest begins either. :)

Noobish question here, i don't need to buy WOTLK to play do i? I already have WOW and the burning crusade.

No you don't, you just won't be able to access Northend and level beyond 70 :)
