Secrets of the Timeless Isle

Task
Collect 0 Timeless Coin on the Timeless Isle.

Overview
You can get Timeless Coin ...

... from the Daily Quest A Timeless Question 0 Timeless Coin

... from the Main Questline on the Timeless Isle

... by killing Non-Elites ~5 Timeless Coin

... by killing Elites 5 Timeless Coin - 0 Timeless Coin

... by looting Moss-Covered Chest 0 Timeless Coin - 0 Timeless Coin

The Emperor's Way

Defeat all 4 Celestials on the Timeless Isle.

Todo
You'll need a group of at least 10 players to defeat one Celestial.

Fastest way to do this, is to create your own group with the Raid Browser tool (Klick 'o' on your keyboard > go to the 'Raids' tab > open the 'Other Raids' button on the top). This way you can be sure the right Celestial (your next needed) is active.

Inform your group that you'll do all four Celestials. Some might need them too and will stay in the group.

Hint
Players do the Celestials mostly after reset, so it's easier to build a group at Wednesday or at Weekends.

125 if you are not exalted with the Black Prince, however, at the point when you get it it will be 87g 50s. The cloak price also drops to roughtly 7k gold, then again the mileage may vary based on rep and Guild buffs.

Comment by motashi

Thank you, very helpful and informational.

Comment by 165719

In patch 5.4.7, I wasn't able to reset Nalak in Spirit of the Storm Lord. The essence following me disappeared right before Nalak reset. Tried multiple times with no success, the essence always despawned before Nalak.

I ended up engaging Nalak, kiting it to the pandas guarding Throne entrance. The pandas grab aggro while I'm healing myself through heavy damage, after which I ran back to the yard, threw Nalak with the spear and kited the essence down.

Comment by refactor

I find this guide to be much more concise and easy to read than the bulky WoWhead guide. Great job with formatting to keep it simple!

Comment by 581939

Update

Chapter IV got a first glimpse for the Celestial Challenges. I'm no supporter of long texts for guides but don't know how to keep that part as simple as possible. Until I have a better idea, i leave it like it is now.

I haven't done Yu'lon and Niuzao yet and don't want to write a guide of an encounter I've never done myself. Please check the user comments from the main quest to get more detailed information. (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ Celestial Blessings

Comment by Nuolong

Ah! This is so good! I love the simplicity. Wowhead's guide is very confusing and takes way too long to interpret. This guide basically just erases all the non-necessary information and focuses on getting the point through. Great job!

Comment by 581939

Update

Sha of Pride has a 100% dropchance for Sigil of Power / Sigil of Wisdom, Secrets of the Empire and Titan Runestone too!

Comment by Berbe

I'm a bit confused. Do i need to complete the supplement quests too in order to get the Legendary Cloak?

Comment by BFighter

I have been using this guide through the whole legendary cloak quest process. it is easy, helpful and precise. it is also easy to go through. it breaks the quest chain down to a few steps

Comment by LordTyrion1066

Although it's missing the Test of Valor quest - which is required to move on. And it may have been changed recently but I Need a Champion required only Revered to complete. Correct as of 11 May 2014, as I just handed it in :-)

Comment by mrdiablo

A fast way to invite all people in dungeon browser:

/script local n,t=SearchLFGGetNumResults();for i=1,n do local x=SearchLFGGetResults(i); InviteUnit(x); end

Useful to fill up the group very fast for celestials.
Just open your raid browser, select the boss you want to do and wait for some names change from "Unknown" to the correct name. Run the script/press the makro and watch your group growing.

Comment by 1109559

Thank you for this guide, very nicely put together. This is going to be my second legendary cloak now and I must admit, as boring as the grind can be, it's pretty fun and exciting obtaining another cloak... Might even go for it on another alt too, before Warlords!

Comment by 581939

Guide Update

Patchnotes 5.4.8

Mistweaver Ai on the Timeless Isle next to the Celestial Court now sells a token called Deeds of Valor for 3000 Timeless Coins. When used, Deeds of Valor grants 100 Valor Points to the character, up to the 1000 Valor Point maximum per week.

Chapter II

Deeds of Valor can't be used when the amount of Valor Points would put you over the weekly cap.

----------------------------------------------------
Patchnotes 5.4.8

All upgradable epic quality items introduced in Patch 5.4 (items found in Siege of Orgrimmar and Timeless Isle) are now eligible to be upgraded an additional 2 times for a total increase of 16 item levels.

This also effects the epic and legendary cloaks from this questline.

All the epic and legendary cloaks can now be upgraded 4 times in total.
The legendary cloak will still have a 2/4 upgrade, when you get it.
The final 2 upgrades need to be bought with 0 Valor Points

Comment by 1207946

So do you have to hold the 3000 valor?
I find that more than annoying :/

Comment by 807222

The (Strength) Melee DPS Celestial Blessings quest is easily performed with the following elements:

Prepare with food and crystal, then start the fight. Use all three Pi'jiu Brew at the same time in the first phase of the fight to kill adds and damage Wrathion. In the last phase try to root him and use Potion of Mogu Power and other berserker buff to finish him fast.

Comment by Drbonez67

From the start which was March till this first week of June would be 3 months working on this questline and the achievement. The hardest part of this grind was easily getting the Titan Runestones. The drop rate was inmproved but not by a whole lot. It took me four weeks to get all 12. However it was worth the grind to get this cloak. Chapters 4 and five were done in three hours on my server which is horde dominant. So happy hunting and don't give up its worth the grind.

Comment by Brileydwt

If I have completed all the raids for the week, will Secrets of the Empire Still Drop if I do them again?

Comment by Frostascious989

Does this mean we can get multiple legendary cloaks?

Comment by Hacoli

I can simplify the tank one for you to use.
You must protect Wrathion while you both fight against a image of Deathwing, occasionally the image focuses on Wrathion which you must taunt. Another phase happens where you block projectiles coming in at him.

Comment by Shandrazal

Very handy and informative....ty for your hard work on this.

Comment by 1230186

Amazing guide. You have put in so much for the effort into this. You've made it SO much easier to navigate this lengthy endeavour.

On behalf of the tens of thousands of people (hundreds maybe?) who have used your guide to achieve legendary status, thank you.

Comment by 1261264

i like it keep it simple

Comment by brockmu

Thanks for the guide

Comment by dethzombi

Okay, if I do the Secrets quest, and complete it, but if I already looted like Lei Shen or Sha, will they still drop a Runestone?

Comment by Loremastertappa

Not sure if it has been noted or not, but once you are done, Wrathion waits for you back at Mason's Folly. Not at the Tavern Inn or at the Temple. I panicked at first because I couldn't find him.

Comment by 1203072

I am wondering, is it absolutely imperative that one has the Celestial Blessing from the rep with the August Celestials?
I ask, because I am doing my second cloak now. My first was on my Spriest with tailoring, and I did a lot of August Celestial repgrind to get the Satchel pattern, but on my resto druid, I am neutral with the faction. Do I absolutely have to have the Celestial Blessing, that is, the token purchased when one has sufficient rep with AC?

Comment by 783503

Am I the only one that thinks this is alltogether too much grinding for a piece of gear?
Do other people have doubts about this?

Comment by uavviper

If I already have the Ach. for beating all 4 bosses before I get to this stage of the quest, do I have to do them all over again when I hit this stage?....oh man I hope not.lol

Comment by memoryclark

The TITAN RUNESTONES is by far the longest quest of the line. It has taken me almost two weeks (2) to get 5 out 12 Titan Runestones and at this rate,I won't be able to get the cloak by the new patch and then they are taking the buff off? Blizzard is a trip. I'm at my limit with all of the give and take from them. If I can't get past this quest within the next week, I'll be gladly willing to give this account away to someone for free.

Comment by Avengion

After working on 10 cloaks (1 Per class) and @13/20 Secrets on my Rogue as we speak I got really tired of ppl NOT knowing how to finish their questline SO I made this macro to hit in LFRs/Flex/Normals even and I used exactly 255 Characters

INSTANCE Boss
/y SECRETS OF THE EMPIRE = All ToT/1st Half of SoO
/y TITAN RUNESTONES = 2nd Half ToT/1st Half of SoO
/y Lei Shen and Sha of Pride are 100% once per week
/y You can finish RS and Lei Shen Heart same wk

Comment by 1351202

Great guide ! Used it for all 6 chars with the cloak.
Is the complete questline removed or cant you just get valor points any more, meaning that if you have the valor quest you can finish it even in WoD?

Comment by 1317503

When i was on the Nalak quest I had my friend tank Nalak while i delt with the essence on the other side of the area.
He got killed by Nalak while i was away from him, so Nalak despawned while the essence continued to have aggro on me. If your friend doesn't care about a small repair bill this would be a good idea to do.

Comment by 1386272

Nice and easy guide, sadly i've just reached 90 on my main when i found out it was going to be unobtainable, and i dont think i will be able to get it, ever :(

Comment by 1034144

Used this guide every step of the way. Cannot begin to say how useful its simplicity has been.
Immense thanks!

What is not mentioned here is the exhilerating sense of achievement it gives at the end, especially after the Titan Runestone grind.
Then after all that hard work, you are given a place in the story of Azeroth, even if for a short while.

You take a moment to look back and say, "I was there. I left my mark."

Comment by Blowingfish

Best guide out there! 5/5

Comment by chakothee

Can someone confirm that the questline is removed Thursday the 13th and not after the weekly reset at Wednesday the 12th (for EU)? I still need 2 more Titan Runestones, but already looted all of the relevant bosses this week. With a bit of luck the rest of the chain can be completed in one day after the reset :)

Comment by Cercie

Just bought the tank version of this cloak for some help with soloing content. Thought they were removed, but i went to the Blacktalon Vendor in The Tavern in the Mist and was able to purchase the ilvl 600 version of a new cape and the item to imbue it. Now have a DPS and Prot cloak. I know it's outdated gear but i always like getting legendaries and the Shield proc is huge for some encounters. (25H Valiona). If you already got your cape pre-WoD, you can go purchase your offspec still. Also, not unique (legendary cloak) so you may carry different versions in your bag.

Comment by bwarhammer

So if this questline is taken away and you can not obtain the legendary cloak, how is someone that came after Pandaria able to get to Ordon Snacuary and more importantly, Archiereus of Flame?

Comment by Shac0le

By far the best Guide i have ever read ngl. This Guy should write Guides for Game Magazines etc :D

Comment by Qpse

Is it possible if i still have my Sigil of Wisdom and Power and not the quest , cuz i dont find it in my quest log anymore , to continue the quest by receiving it by a GM or something ?

Comment by madgorilla

i think the drop down menus are broken.
