Hii everyone. My lvl 57 mage is getting ready to do BRD. I have done all instances up to Sunken Temple, and I'm confident about playing my mage. However, there are a few questions that remain.
1) I have 2 quests in category BRD, one blackrock mountain. That can't be it right? I've only gotten quests in Burning Steppes though. Can't think of another place to get quests for BRD
2) People tell me it's hard. What would be the minimum party be? I keep getting mixed answers (52+, 55+,57+ ... what is it? :p)
3)I have 2650hp,5600 mana, 521 armor (<-- ^_^) and about +30spell dmg and +26frost dmg. Am I good enough?
4) Any special tips I need to know about?
Reason I ask like this is I have very few occasions where I can play 2-3 hours straight and I dont want to ruin one of my very few chances to complete a instance ;)
I have never finnished BRD. Not once. So if you fail, don't worry.
At lvl 57, you should be OK. The mob levels start out at 54 elite (IIRC).
Your quests will differ between Alliance and Horde, but the one that you'll want to make sure you get is the Shadowforge quest. When you wipe, as your running back to the door, there will be an NPC standing on pedistal that you can only see while dead. He gives you the quest.
Wow, that's an extremely useful site! I'm getting help from a 60 mage friend of mine, so we got dps+aoe covered. He might get his guildmate (warrior in tier1) to tag along if we're lucky so I guess that party should have no problems. I'll be getting all those quests now described in the guide (hurray for teleport!!!)
Its the hardest of the five mans if people arent knowledgable, there are several different areas doable by a mid 50's party one area can be done by a lowish 50's party but to do an emp run you need a 57-60 party and someone that can tell ya how it goes.
There are quests for there in Kharanos(badlands),Ironforge from King(chain from chick near him) and both morgans vigil,Flamecrest and a Dragon in the northeast corner of BS.
A few are chain quest like The princess/ony chain and flame guys.
Btw i believe the princess quest is broken.
I just got the one from badlands, am on the boat to theramore as I post. I think I pretty much have all the quests now, thanks for the tips. So far our party consists of:
57mage (me)
60 mage (blues from 5man, 2 arcanist pieces)
60 warrior possibly (full tier1)
58 druid possibly (blues from 5man)
random dude willing to join us
if you want to quest in there, take someone who knows the instance well. otherwise you will spend 10 hours and more in it and still wont see everything.
DONT go in there to quest if you dont have the quests for the onyxia key quest chain. while you are at it, get the MC prequest aswell.
lvl 57 should be more than enugh, i d start strat and scholo whit 57, dire maul whit 58, LBRS andUBRS around that level too.
Turns out I won't be doing BRD today, my dad is staying home to do his finances... :: cry :: But, positive thing is I have all the quests now, except those I get in blackrock itself (like, the ghost thingie, and MC attunement). Let's hope my highlvl experienced friends have time tonight or tomorrow, I can't wait. Last few levels have been a breeze, ZF and SK were pathetically easy so I'm looking for a challenge (well a challenge other than WSG/AB that is, I need a somewhat fair challenge. Curse those premade 59 horde teams!! :p)
BRD is a lot of fun it's just very big and there are two sides to it. I've never made it to the emp personally not due to lack of ability but usually someone is ready to go by the time we get that far. You pretty much need to get a group who's goal is to do an emp run to pull it off. If you've got people who want quests done on the otherside or in the prison ring and/or Commander Gorshak then you might as well forget the emp.
Gotta believe it's the biggest 5 man instance out there... I can count 18 boss fights off the top of my head. Good luck when you go... if you maintain those party levels though it should be pretty easy. It's a challenge mid 50s but when you are the lowest level at 57 it should pretty much be cake as long as you aren't all new to it.
Mid 50's groups and lower will have trouble with the Archmagel (he hits insanely hard), probably the coffer room, and probably won't have enough DPS for the room of seven dwarves (which you have to get past to get to the emp)... and even if you did make it past them I'm betting you don't make it out of the hall where you light the torches prior to the emp. Need a strong AOE group for that and you have to move fast due to quick respawns.
You'll see the instance a lot of times from the inside I fear.
Have done a 4 or 5 hour run in there and we -still- hadn't done all of it, so forget about finishing everything you've got in your quest book.
It's not that hard an instance as long as you pay attention. Runners can seriously ruin your day. You might wish to bring a Paladin/Shaman as resser.
If none is available, a Warlock will help you with all the Elementals there.
