[Terenas] Karazhan - Where are your upgrades from

[Kevin]

OK, since we pretty much only have 2 raiding nights a week, some of the raids will end up skipping bosses to hit other bosses for progression reasons or for loot opportunity reasons. This will also help the raid leaders make decisions on which toon to put on the progression lock or the new raid lock on Fridays if we can't honor the persons preference for that week. Basically it should help make decisions a little easier and more informed.

Feel free to list bosses that we haven't defeated yet. I'll list all of the bosses. Wow-loot Karazhan listing is a pretty good resource to check for what the bosses drop.

Farm Bosses
Attumen
Moroes
Maiden
Opera Event (Romulo & Julianne, The Crone (Oz), The Big Bad Wolf)
Curator
Chess Event (Dust Covered Chest)
Shade of Aran
Prince Malchezaar
Netherspite
Nightbane
Illhoof



For Marn listed in order of most want to least want with a detail breakdown

Chess - Fiend Slayer Boots
Illhoof - Girdle of the Prowler
Netherspite - Skulker's Greaves (I'd pass to leather wearers first), Rip Flayer Leggings
Nightbane - Ferocious Swift Kickers, Scale BP of Carnage
Shade of Aran - Sabreclaw Talisman (passed on it a couple times, very minor)
Opera - Poison Vial (Romulo - Low)
Attumen - Nothing
Curator - Nothing
Maiden - Nothing
Moroes - Nothing
Prince - Nothing

Note that preference order will change if I get loot from one boss or another or even some of the arena stuff. Prince is on top because of the bow, not the T4 helm or the cloak. But Legacy from the Opera event (after the changes to it in the patch) is a bigger upgrade for me than any of the other single item bosses on the list.

Geldauran's Karazhan upgrades list

(Minor or DPS gear upgrades listed in brackets)

Attumen: Nothing

Maiden of Virtue: Nothing
Opera: Nothing
Curator: Nothing
Chess: Battlescar Boots
Terestian Illhoof: (Gilded Thorium Cloak)

Bottom Tier

So, I'm pretty much interested in Nightbane.

[Shamago]

I've gone through and ranked cat gear properly now, so here is the final list. I'm not listing healing gear. If I'm there when it drops and nobody else can use or wants, I will probably take it.
I've marked the pieces that I don't mind not having with a @.


-Gloves of Dextrous Manipulation
from Attumen

@Romulo's Poison Vial - Nifty trinket, but not really necessary.
from Romulo(Opera)

@Garona's Signet Ring - Comparable rings in later instances, especially if I can get plenty of hit rating elsewhere.
from Curator

-Drape of the Dark Reavers
@Shermanar Great-Ring - Badge ring or Mag's Head reward are better.
from Aran

-Skulker's Greaves
from Netherspite

-Tier 4 Helm Token (Druid/Warrior/Priest)
from Prince


Assuming nothing changes from the current PTR(2.2), I'm also going to need 16 bolts of soulcloth, which is 128 soul essences.

[VinnieJones]

Illhoof
The Lightning Capacitor

[WimpySmurf]

My prioritized list for upgrades:

1) R&J - Blade of Unrequited, Poison Vial
2) Prince - Melchazeen, Decapitator, Helm
3) Curator - Gorana's Signet
4) Moroes - Emerald Ripper, Arathi Kings
5) Attumen - Steelhawk, Worgen

Now, most bosses still have tanking upgrades for me.

My upgrade list:

Moroes --> Caster cloak
Prince --> Dagger (Nathrezim Mindblade), T4 Head
Nightbane --> Dam/heal shield
Illhoof --> trinket

Of course I can pick up mail healing stuff/necks/cloaks/weaps defaulted to me, but I won't take those from other healers.

I'm only listing the healing stuff for Mogo. She'll grab a lot of stuff that will otherwise just get sharded (I know, you are all shocked by that;)), but I'm only really concerned with keeping her geared up healing wise.

*updated 7/24/2007

Saryn's list from most needed to least needed. I'm putting bosses we're not attempting at bottom of list for now.

Prince: (4 pieces)
Light's Justice (HUGE upgrade)
T4 headpiece
Stainless cloak of the pure hearted
Jade ring of the everliving


Maiden: (2 pieces)
Bands of Indwelling
Shard of the Virtuous (huge upgrade)

Curator (2 pieces)
T4 gloves
Pauldrons of the Solace-Giver (huge upgrade)

Shade or Aran (1 possible sidegrade)
Pendent of the violet eye

Netherspite
Pantaloons of Repentence
Shining Chain of the Afterworld


Illhoof
Cincture of Will (huge upgrade for me, huge

[Sinomin]

Attumen:
Vambraces of Courage (no longer Warrior only!)

Maiden of Virtue:


*Well WoWhead is down for maintenance and I cant remember where all the drops come from. Will finish it later.

[khgerg]

Here is what Octord would like from the early bosses

Attumen
Spectral Band of Innervation

Moroes
Shadow-Cloak of Dalaran - I got it.

Maden
Bands of Nefarious Deeds

Romulo
Trial-Fire Trousers

Curator
Staff of Infinite Mysteries

Shade
Tirisfal Wand of Ascendancy - I go it.

Prince
Nathrezim Mindblade

[Klaus]

Weapon:
Staff of Infinite Mysteries (Curator) - This is a massive upgrade for me. The dagger from the prince would be more +damage, but this staff would be amazing for me. I can't find anything else (except the dagger that everyone wants) to upgrade to until sometime past Magtheridon. If I could pick one thing out of Kara at the moment, I think this would be it. EDIT: I checked Wowhead's loot lists for Gruul, Magtheridon, Serpenshrine and the Eye. I can't find anything I would upgrade to in any of those places. This staff is basically it for shadow priests. (One of those places has a one handed sword that would work for mages & warlocks, but I didn't find any daggers, maces or staves)

Nathrezim Mindblade (Prince): Yeah, this would be nice, but everyone wants one. :)

Bracers:
<strike>Bands of Nefarious Deeds (Maiden)</strike> Got these

Cloak:
<strike>Shadow-Cloak of Dalaran (Moroes)</strike> Got this

Necklace:
Ritssyn's Lost Pendant (trash)

Rings:
Ring of Recurrence (Chess)
<strike>Spectral Band of Innervation (Attumen)</strike> No longer care about this

Wand:
Tirisfal Wand of Ascendancy (Aran)

Pants
Trial-Fire Trousers (Opera)

Head:
<strike>Uni-Mind Headdress (Netherspite)</strike>
<strike>Wicked Witch's Hat (Opera - OZ)</strike>


So, my preferred order of bosses to see would be:
Curator
Trash
Prince

[vor_lord]

Ribbon of Sacrifice (depends on patch changes)

Wowhead has the updated tooltip: Ribbon of Sacrifice. I have this... it may see use in 25 man raiding where the scaling of Fecundity is better, but I can't see it being all that fantastic otherwise compared to other trinket options (Rejuvenating Gem is still better imo, Bangle of Endless Blessings, the trinket from heroic badges, etc.).

chess event
Don't know, can't seem to find a list for it:P

Only possible piece of interest to a healer is Headress of the High Potentate It looks like a small upgrade over the Watcher's Cowl we both wear.

[Sinomin]

chess event
Don't know, can't seem to find a list for it:P

Dust Covered Chest

[Kevin]

Bumping for people to update/place new posts as this information is going to become more important for raid planning now.

And once again because I saw people still confused on where loot came from Wow-Loot Karazhan Listing that I mentioned in the first post breaks it down in a pretty easy to read/search method (specific item links on the page go to Wowhead). The Dust Covered Chest is the Chess Event. The Crone, Big Bad Wolf, and Romulo and Julianna are the options for Opera.

[Concillian]

DPS upgrades (in order of % DPS improvment):
1) T4 Helm -- Prince Malchezzar
2) Ironstriders of Urgency (boots) -- Nightbane

Other upgrades (either leather or tanking, things I'll only take if there isn't someone who can better utilize them available):
Rather than list it all out, I'll just say that there is still stuff on all the bosses except for Attumen and the beast bosses that would fit into this category, but it's all low priority.

[mandydax]

Shim's Kara Wish List

Code:

Attumen (O)
    Harbinger Bands (Wrist)
    Handwraps of Flowing Thought (Hand)
    Spectral Band of Innervation (Ring)
Moroes
    Shadow Cloak of Dalaran (Back)
    Nethershard Girdle (Belt)
Maiden (O)
    Bands of Nefarious Deeds (Wrist)
Opera Event - Oz
    Wicked Witch's Hat (Head)
Curator
    T4!Gloves of the Aldor (via Fallen Hero)
Shade of Aran
    Mantle of the Mind Flayer (Shoulder)
Prince Malchezaar
    T4!Collar of the Aldor (via Fallen Hero)
    Ruby Drape of the Mysticant (Back)
    Nathrezim Mindblade (Weapon)
Netherspite
    Uni-Mind Headdress (Head)
Nightbane (O)
    Robe of the Elder Scribes (Chest)

Any of the above for the slot are perfect to upgrade from a blue item. Of course, everyone who doesn't have the T4 token would want that if it dropped for their class. I'm no different.
