WOW Cataclysm Classic: Accelerate Your Epic Item Acquisition With Archaeology Leveling

Hello warriors, recently WOW Cataclysm Classic released an exciting news: Phase 3, originally scheduled for October 2024, will be released ahead of schedule on September 17, 2024!  To be honest, we rarely encounter Classic Phases that are released earlier than expected, so it is hard not to wonder what impact this change will have on the 2024 Classic roadmap and whether it will affect the subsequent launch of WOW Cataclysm. However, instead of thinking about future content, it is better to focus on what new changes Phase 3 will bring to WOW Cataclysm Classic. This is also what we will focus on in this guide to help you get a better gaming experience in the upcoming new phase. Mount Hyjal Zone First of all, there will be a new event in Mount Hyjal Zone, but in order to participate in it, you must complete many different tasks in this area. So if you haven’t done them yet, do so before you start Phase 3. To get the first quest of this event, you need to go to the major city and look for the quest board. There will be a quest telling you to go to Mount Hyjal. But is it really that important to complete this quest chain? Of course! Because there are some pretty amazing rewards at the end that are definitely worth the effort! As you progress through the new story, you will also start to unlock daily quests, which are also very important. Because you will get a new currency. You will use this currency later to unlock some important NPCs who will sell a range of Epic Items, Transmog Items and Unique Toys. You won’t get these Epic Items right away of course, because you still need to complete a lot of daily quests before then, but it will reward you with Level 365 Epic Items. So you can also do this in all characters so that they are equipped when Cataclysm Phase 3 starts. Firelands Raid Firelands is a level 85 Raid that can be completed in Normal and Heroic 10-man and 25-man difficulties. Killing Molten Lord in this raid is one of the ways to start the questline, which ultimately rewards you with the legendary staff, Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest. Firelands Raid is located on Mount Hyjal. Once you enter the Raid, you will be able to gain Reputation for the new faction and, of course, new loot. In Normal mode, each boss will reward you with equipment of at least Item Level 378. In fact, you can also find a lot of Bind on Equip items and WoW Cataclysm Gold when you kill different trash mobs, so this will be a nice way to earn money. As we said before, at the start of Firelands Raid, you will gain Reputation for a new Avengers of Hyjal Faction. There will also be a Quartermaster here, where you can get yourself some nice Epic Items based on your Reputation. Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest But the new staff, Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest, is more exciting than anything else. You can get this staff on the second-to-last boss in the raid. You can then right-click it and transform yourself into a new form, or your Cat Form will change appearance. It’s absolutely cool! Getting this legendary staff is difficult, though. It will be a long quest chain that will probably take you 5-10 weeks to complete because you need to get a lot of different materials in Firelands. In the end, you will get a magical staff and a new Flying Mount, or, in PVP terms, a new way to transform yourself into a new Flying Mount. New Questlines In addition to this, Phase 3 also provides players with two more level 85 quest lines, which are available to both Alliance and Horde players. Firelands Invasion The first questline is Firelands Invasion, which will eventually unlock the level 85 Molten Front sub-region within Mount Hyjal. Here, players can complete daily quests to gain reputation and rewards with Mount Hyjal faction. Players who have completed Mount Hyjal region can begin Fireland Invasions via the breadcrumb quest, Guardians of Hyjal: Firelands Invasion. If you haven’t completed the prerequisite quests yet, you will be given another breadcrumb quest, Guardians of Hyjal: Call of the Ancients to get you started. Elemental Bonds Elemental Bonds is another questline that players can experience in Phase 3, which can be started by picking up the quest Call of the World-Shaman on Mount Hyjal. This questline is more narrative-focused, revolving around the ongoing restoration of Thrall’s story after his encounter with Fandral Staghelm. Phase 3 will also bring a new HD Textures quality of life update, providing enhanced visuals throughout the game. Possible Dungeon Changes Finally, one question that remains in Phase 3, and in WoW Cataclysm as a whole, is dungeon changes similar to Titan Rune Dungeons, which would add another set of difficulty modifiers and 10-man Normal raid gear from Phase 2 raid dungeons to the dungeon loot pool. However, there hasn’t been any new information about the future development of this system since BlizzCon 2023, so we don’t know if it’s still a possibility. In short, as you progress through Rage of the Firelands, you’ll gradually unlock more and more stories and quests. So, get ready and let’s look forward to the arrival of Cataclysm Classic Phase 3!

Transmogs are a very popular feature in World of Warcraft, perfect for players who play on retail or Cataclysm-era servers. This feature allows each character to have more unique and creative customization options. In the minds of players, collecting different types of gear for transmog has become very important, even more than performing missions or raids in the game! What I need to remind you here is that transmog was added in Cataclysm expansion, so you don’t have to start exploring from scratch. You can use some of the equipment or weapons you have already acquired to transmog when expansion is released. Similarly, in WOW Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 Rise of the Zandalari, which will be released on July 30 as the second phase of the entire expansion, you can also use transmog. Any items you’ve previously acquired through quests, crafting, or even drops will appear in your transmog directory. Transmog sets available to each character are determined by their classes. For example, casters can only use cloth transmogs, while Paladins or Warriors can use plate and mail gear. This guide will detail the best transmogs you can use in the game, so you can be ready before Phase 2 arrives! Circle Of Flame Location: Dropped by Lord Incendium Ambassador Flamelash in Blackrock Depths This is a mid-level item, but the drop rate for this item is only a measly 2%, which makes it one of the most sought-after items in the game. It’s not without a replacement though, you can get a Crown of Desolation from Ragnaros in Molten Core raid to replace it. However, both items are very difficult to obtain and require some effort on your part. How To Find Ambassador Flamelash? Before explaining how to find the boss that drops Circle of Flame, I need to remind you that there is a level scaling function in Retail WoW, so if you want to get this item, your dungeon must be scaled to match your character. The same level, and you also need to team up with others to complete this exploration. The following steps are for Cataclysm because there is no level scaling, so you can complete them independently with a high-level character. Go to Blackrock Depths. This is one of many instances in the infamous Blackrock Mountain, and is usually the first place players visit, as it is a level 40-45 dungeon. Turn left at the entrance, go through the gate, and enter the door on the right that leads directly to West Garrison. Then find Grim Guzzler. This is the hottest tavern in Azeroth. Go through the back door, stay on the left, go up the first staircase, and turn right. Defeat Flamelash. Ambassador is alone in a large room filled with lava, but during the battle, several small fire elementals will join the battle and help him. He probably won’t drop Circle of Flame on the first try, so be prepared to do this a few times. If you have run this dungeon before and have the keys to get into West Garrison, you can complete the steps above. If you haven’t been to Blackrock Depths before, you can still go this route, but you’ll need a high-level character or a powerful class. Black Embersilk Gown Location: Get the recipe from the sewing trainer This item is one of the new decorative clothing added in Cataclysm, and you need to reach level 500 in the Tailoring skill to craft it. In addition, you need to use 8 bolts of Embersilk to craft it, so if you are currently using another class, you can use WOW Cataclysm Classic Gold to obtain it at Auction House or commission someone else to make it. But in fact, making Black Embersilk Gown is not that easy. Although this item is just for decoration, it requires a lot of expensive and rare materials, including Volatile Fire dropped by specific high-level enemies in Mount Hyjal, and Chaos Orbs dropped by the final boss of heroic-level dungeons, which are very difficult to obtain. It is also necessary to remind you that LFG function in Cataclysm will only show the option for Heroics when your total gear score is 329 or above, so you should always pay attention to your gear situation. Also, Chaos Orbs don’t drop in regular dungeons, you need to look for higher-level dungeons. Robe Of The Malefic Location: In the hands of Keeper of Lost Artifacts Tydormu in Scale of Sands Every caster in the current game wants this Robe Of The Malefic. Also known as Hood of The Malefic, it has a pair of long horns and a set of giant bat wings. The only way to get this set is to enter Mount Hyjal raid and compete with Archimonde when he drops Forgotten Conqueror’s Chestguard. Once you win the dice, you can trade it with Tydormu. How To Find Tydormu? The vendors who trade these items are usually well hidden, and so is Tydormu. Before trading, you need to prepare the tokens it needs in case the trade fails. You can go to Caverns Of Time. Fly through the entrance to Sanctuary. It’s the second Sanctuary to the right from where the dragon dropped in Cataclysm expansion.  Join Mount Hyjal Raid. You must be level 65 or above to join the raid and have Classic WoW installed.  And speak to Tydormu. Find him wandering the “foyer” of Mount Hyjal raid. This raid has multiple portals leading to different stages, making it one of the most complex and difficult 40-player raids in WoW. These are the best transmogs you can choose from in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Hopefully, you can use them to your advantage in WoW Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 Rise of the Zandalari! Have fun exploring!

Phase 2 of Cataclysm Classic has been launched on NA servers on July 30th and on EU servers on July 31st. Just when you thought you’d heeded the advice to stay away from da voodoo, a new challenge emerges. This challenge invites you to brave the lands of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, uncover and thwart the plots of Zandalari and their brethren, and be handsomely rewarded for your efforts. A Threat Fought In Secret Vol’jin is playing it safe, sending Darkspear delegates to the capitals of Stormwind and Orgrimmar, calling on all adventurers who can physically investigate a threat that has recently emerged in Stranglethorn jungle. However, Gurubashi tribe appears to have regained its strength and is wreaking havoc in Stranglethorn. You can now embark on a new level 85 single-player quest in Stranglethorn, restored by a new alliance with Zandalari, players will assist a sassy, ​​headstrong Darkspear spirit-talker named Bwemba as they track down Hemet Nesingwary, and then encounter a host of new Zul’Gurub bosses in Stranglethorn’s steaming jungles. As a reward for solving Stranglethorn’s problems, you’ll be rewarded with an adorable panther pet that will require your loving care. Players should seek out Vol’jin’s representatives in Orgrimmar or Stormwind Harbor to initiate this adventure. Return To Zul’Gurub With the support of Zandalari, Gurubashi people have once again rallied around this ancient city, determined to strike back against those they perceive as invading their ancestral lands. Now, this level 85, 5-player Heroic dungeon brings a whole new challenge. Having enough WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold will be key for players who wish to delve into these new challenges, as it will help you prepare the equipment and resources needed to ensure you can take on these challenges and reap the rich rewards they bring. If you choose to ally with Darkspears, you will be well aware that invasions come at a cost. High Priest Venoxis, Broodlord Mandokir, High Priestess Kilnara, Zanzil, and Jin’do the Godbreaker - these enemies will not let you go easily. Cut off their heads and you will be rewarded with a treasure map that may lead you to valuable loot. One of the most eye-catching is an account-bound ring that is inlaid with a huge gemstone, making it instantly visible when worn! For players with advanced Archaeology skills, Zul’Gurub offers an additional challenge - unlocking a special boss. This boss will be a random one of Gri’lek, Renataki, Hazza’rah, and Wushoolay, who are chosen to punish adventurers who pursue treasure too much without considering the consequences. If your party survives this challenge, you will be rewarded with generous rewards from all four bosses, as well as valuable loot unique to each boss. Amani Regrouped With the support of Zandalari, the remnants of Amani have regrouped under the steadfast leadership of Daakara. Zul’Aman has been transformed into a challenging level 85, 5-player Heroic dungeon. Akil’zon, Nalorakk, Jan’alai, Halazzi, Hex Lord Malacrass, and Daakara hope to bring their tribes out of secrecy and become a force to be reckoned with. Challengers should proceed with caution. To access Zul’Aman and Zul’Gurub, players must reach item level 346 or higher. These two heroic dungeons will appear in Dungeon Finder as separate heroic difficulties that exceed the current Cataclysm Heroic dungeons. As a reward, they will provide players with epic-quality loot at item level 353. In both dungeons, players can expect to find items that cover almost all gear slots, although the rewards are mainly focused on providing some hard-to-fill slots or specializations, such as bracers, helms, shoulders, guns, and wands. Rare Mounts And More Retaining the original features of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, players will obtain updated versions of rare mounts. In Zul’Gurub, players can obtain Swift Zulian Panther and Armored Razzashi Raptor as mounts, while in Amani, by defeating the first four bosses within the time limit, players can obtain Battle Bear. With the opening of challenges in the two heroic dungeons of Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman, players will embark on an adventure full of dangers and opportunities. Through these challenges, players will not only obtain powerful equipment and rare mounts, but more importantly, they will become the key force to resist the conspiracy of Zandalari and his allies.

Halls of Origination is one of the most popular dungeons in WOW Cataclysm Classic, not only because it has a vast and complex environment for players to explore, but also because of the seven uniquely challenging bosses and the rich loot in the dungeon. Although four of them are technically optional, the items they can drop are definitely worth your pursuit. Halls of Origination is a final dungeon unlocked at level 84, and it provides a fair challenge for players on their journey. The dungeon is located in Uldum, almost directly north of Vortex Pinnacle. Most players will encounter it during quests, especially during Harrison Jones questline. Boss Encounter Guide Next, let’s talk about the seven bosses you will encounter in Halls of Origination and how to defeat them. Temple Guardian Anhuur The first one you will face is Temple Guardian Anhuur. Luckily, this is also the easiest boss you’ll face in the dungeon. Burning Light is an area attack that players must avoid. At the same time, Anhuur applies Divine Reckoning to random players. This deals significant damage to the player and heals the boss for 5 times as much damage. Therefore, it’s crucial to dispel Reckoning before it expires. Other key abilities to watch out for are Shield of Light and Reverberating Hymn. Once health reaches 66% and 33%, Anhuur will gain a full absorb shield and begin channeling. Two players will need to head to opposite sides of the room to activate the lever. It’s important to avoid angering Pit Vipers, as it will prevent the other player from using the lever. Then you’ll just have to cycle through the stages before defeating the boss. Earthrager Ptah Another easy boss fight in the dungeon is Earthrager Ptah, thanks to the simplicity of its mechanics and relatively easy damage and aggro checks. Raging Smash is the main damage effect to watch out for, as it deals massive damage to the tank and two other players in melee range. When health drops to 50%, the boss will despawn and summon adds. Tanks should quickly kill these mobs and burn them down with DPS. Once the adds are dead, Ptah will reappear. During this time, continue to watch out for and avoid Tornado and other environmental hazards. Players will defeat the boss easily by simply continuing to deal as much damage as possible while avoiding Melee Cleave. Anraphet Anraphet is one of the three bosses we will encounter in Halls of Origination. Its key skill is Alpha Beams, which targets random players and deals damage in a 5-yard radius around them. As a damage-dealing skill, they can be a little difficult to avoid, but once you learn the cast time, this shouldn’t be a big problem. Additionally, Tanks and Healers need to be careful with Nemesis Strike, which deals Shadow damage every two seconds for ten seconds. Quickly dispel it to keep the tank’s health level up. In addition, the entire team will be hit by Omega Stance, which will deal a lot of damage and slow the team by 50%. Fortunately, healing can negate the slowing effect as much as possible. Therefore, it is very important to spend some WOW Cataclysm Classic Gold to prepare Healing Potions before entering the dungeon! The biggest attack to watch out for in this fight is Crumbling Ruin. This skill reduces the team’s health by 10%, which can be stacked up to ten times. Once hit by this attack, the entire team is doomed. The victory of the entire battle ultimately depends on whether the team can output enough damage to end the battle before the boss. Isiset, Construct Of Magic Isiset is arguably the most difficult of the four optional bosses to defeat. The first spell you need to pay attention to is Supernova. When the boss casts the spell, all members of the team must turn around before it ends to avoid getting lost. Astral Rain is an important AoE spell, and healers must stay ahead of it because of its enormous area of ​​effect. Additionally, you’ll need to coordinate with your companions and quickly dispatch Celestial Familiars to keep the boss’ damage under control. At 66% health and 33% health left, Isiset will split into several Familiars. Note that all of these are tied to specific abilities, so while the boss can no longer cast Familiars, other abilities will be enhanced. Ammunae, Construct Of Life To defeat Ammunae, a DPS character will need to keep an eye on Seedling Pods, which will appear periodically throughout the fight. You’ll need to kill them quickly to prevent them from unleashing stacking heals on the boss, which will make it very difficult to kill it. These Pods can also turn into Bloodpetal Blossoms, which deal impressive damage. If the boss manages to spawn some, kill them quickly. Setesh, Construct Of Destruction Setesh has several powerful abilities that can quickly wipe out the entire party if not handled correctly. Chaos Bolts will target random players instead of melee attacks. There is little you can do to mitigate this damage, so healers need to be aware of who is getting hit. The main thing to do in this fight is to be aware of where Setesh is summoning portals. These portals will quickly start summoning adds, which can become a big problem, so it’s your job as a DPS to destroy the portals as quickly as possible. These Seeds of Chaos on the floor are also not to be underestimated. You can stand near them and wait for them to explode. While you will take some damage, it will increase your damage by a large amount for 15 seconds, making it well worth the effort. Rajh, Construct Of Sun Rajh will be the most interesting fight you will encounter in Halls of Origination dungeon. Rajh starts with 100 energy, which he uses to cast his abilities. Be aware that once his energy is completely depleted, he will head to the center of the room to recharge and cast a huge AoE that is difficult for players to survive. To avoid this, players need to try to keep his energy meter up by interrupting as many of his ability casts as possible. Both Inferno Leap and Summon Sun Orb can be interrupted, so you should take advantage of every possible opportunity. The above are the 7 bosses you need to face in Halls of Origination. With these tips, you will easily pass the dungeon and get rich loot!
