Raiding Frequently Reported Style
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 by C. Carter
Over the weekend, we smoked both Onyxia's Lair (twice!) and Zul'Gurub, with everyone having a ball and receiving achievements. As an accomplished pre-BC raider back on Akama, I've taken for granted the fullness of the storytelling that World of Warcraft used to be.
For those of you wanting to hit the old school raids, including Molten Core and Blackwing Lair, have no fear—it is in the works. But I need you to do some work before we roll in. Despite the fact the Blizzard nerfed attunement to Ony, a player still has to be attuned to MC. Now, "back in the day", this involved rolling with a group for the sake of simplicity and survival. However, one can probably solo it, now.
"So how does one get attuned to Molten Core," you're asking? Point your browser here for a complete walk-thru.
Blackwing Lair doesn't require an attunement, per se, but there is the issue of having to delve deep into UBRS in order to access the raid warp. Unless...
Unless you're leetsauce and do the quest for the BWL shortcut and obtain the Mark of Drakkisath. For more information, just go here and read.
Incidentally, I would love to head to Silithus some time and roll through Ahn'Qiraj - both the 20 person and the 40 person raids. I strongly recommend reading up on all the Classic Raids and being prepared to have some fun in the next few weeks!
