GoE Hosted Onyxia Raid

[Phoenix]

So what exactly did you have to do for your amulet Alliance side?

Oh we're just given it for free. You know we Alliance and our "easy-mode" with "I win buttons" and all that. :rolleyes:

The roll-eyes smiley looks way too happy.

Ok, loot rules for the raid will be as follows.

Loot will be set as MASTER looter. ONLY the master looter or assistant leader should be looting corpses. If you are found inspecting/looting a corpse which has loot on it without the authority of the raid leader or assistant leader you will be subject to REMOVAL from the raid. Be warned.

ONE Blue item OR Epic Purple item per run. If everyone passes said item will become a FREE FOR ALL and will not count towards this limit. If Onyxia is dropped the loot will be assigned to specific class that are eligible to roll. Each person will then be assigned a number. Raid leader will then do ONE /random x. The player matching this number will win said item.

If the raid is successful, all that I personally ask is that I am allowed to take Onyxia's head as my only reward for the raid. If anyone is unhappy with my request it will be another item that is randomed for.

Any questions please post on this thread or email me via lothren_daoc AT hotmail DOT com.

Thankyou.

[Shiris]

In addition, this is the strategy we will be using for the raid.

The steps will be recapped prior to the encounter being initiated, however I ask that everyone reads the guide in detail so less questions need to be asked come Sunday. This is especially true for our main tank (Kerrek) and all healer classes.

Here is the guide: http://pacifistguild.org/onyxia/

I think there might be a few people that would object to your taking by default what many consider to be the single most valuable drop from Onyxia's corpse.

For everyone else's information, the Head of Onyxia starts a quest that offers a choice of these three rewards:

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=35991
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=36832
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=36041

The Head of Onyxia should be treated as if one of these had dropped and should be randomed for accordingly.

But that's no fun. <_<

:wacko: My warlock quests were crazy long and hard (at the time), but in retrospect and comparison to those without quests... so very fun too :P

Come on. Be honest, what did you do? World Dragon-hunting's gotta be one of the high-lights of this game, and being mandatory for Onyxia key just makes it peachy. I want to kill the dragonkin in northeastern part of Hinterlands next.

Moved to our new Meeting Stone forum for Stormrage in a terrible abuse of power. ;)

[Arethor]

I must say, I would be interested in the ring that's rewarded for Onyxia's Head however I'm sure that even if we rolled for it I'd roll a 40-something :lol:

[Shiris]

Update:

The head will be randomed for after purple items have been rolled on between remaining raid members who did not win anything. This will be done via /random 1000 to avoid ties.

So what exactly did you have to do for your amulet Alliance side?
[right][snapback]79320[/snapback][/right]

1) Kill about two dozen elite dragonkin in Burning Steppes
2) Go into BRD and talk to Marshal Windsor
3) Go back into BRD and get a common drop, and talk to Windsor again
4) Kill Angerforge and Arglemach in BRD
5) Go back into BRD AGAIN, clear the entire prison, then escort Windsor out of the prison
6) Meet Windsor in Stormwind, then help someone kill Onyxia Elite Guards (admittedly not as difficult as it sounds)
7) Go to Winterspring and traverse the blue dragon cave
8) Run UBRS until you get a blood drop
9) Go back to Winterspring and traverse the blue dragon cave again

[Alrin]

So that's why alliance are in the Blue cave so much. Then again, horde have the awbee's chromatic dragonflight quest and must kill the dragon in the back of the cave too.

What do you do in BRD? That's talk to the imprisoned Marshal near commander gorshak, released by the key by the warden a bit further in the prison, right?

General Angerforge is a regular BRD kill for my runs, but who was Arglemach? I'm not getting a match in Thott. Is that the golemlord before 6 fire elementals in packs of 3?

Step 6)
Is that where Onyxia's guards appear in the throneroom and start beating on everyone there, but is killed by lord what's his name and onyxia in disguise? Or is that another quest?

Yes.

Yes, though 'released' is a bit much. It'd be better to say that access is granted to him by the prison key. When you open his cage, he'll send you off to find stuff, and won't leave until the escort part of the quest.

Yes, the first time we tried to fight him, it was him and 3 golems...then he ran out of the room and brought everyone we hadn't previously cleared back with him. After the wipe, we cleared the rooms previous to him, so it was "just" him and his golem buddies.

And Arethor will still roll 40-something. :lol:

[right][snapback]79677[/snapback][/right]

Tis way too true. Anytime I'm opposed for something I want I roll terribly. When unopposed or for a BoE or BoP Green that noone wants, that's when the rollhack kicks in and I roll 80's or 90's.

Since the head falls under the "Opposed for something I want" category, I expect nothing higher than a 50, even with a /random 1000 :lol:

[Shiris]

Would like to thank everyone who participated in Sundays raid. We made many valiant attempts but Onyxia proved too wiley for us to best.

Well played to everyone and for those who have little to no experience fighting Onyxia (like me :D ) it was a great learning experience!

Look forward to seeing you next time, when things will be a little different :D

Shiris.

[Tal]

Sharanna snuck in and through the Dragon lair in Winterspring and is now set for Onyxia. Hopefully things will work out for me to be there for the next run. :)
