Related Instances: Skyreach Normal or Heroic

Required Level: 98

Reward: Solium Band of Mending, Solium Band of Might, Solium Band of Dexterity, Solium Band of Wisdom, Solium Band of Endurance

Time Spent: Very fast.

When you build your Garrison and hit 98, you will see Khadgar's Servant wandering around giving your Garrison denizens tours. He will have an orange ! over his head and will offer you your first quest for your Legendary ring, Call of the Archmage.

This quest requires you to travel to Talador to see Archmage Khadgar in his tower in Zangarra. If you had quested through the zone while leveling, you can fly directly there on flight path, otherwise you can simply travel there through the zone.

After speaking to Archmage Khadgar here, he will offer you Spires of the Betrayer which requires you to go to Skyreach to retrieve a quest item: Pure Solium Band. This quest can be completed on Normal or Heroic but it can not be completed on Challenge Mode. The quest item drops from the last boss of the instance, High Sage Viryx. This quest can be shared. Be sure to loot the item off the body of the boss before you leave the zone! Learn how to complete this instance with our Skyreach Dungeon Strategy Guide.

Return to Khadgar in Zangarra. Hand in the quest and accept the next quest from him, Khadgar's Task. Speak to Khadgar, and receive your ring. Your reward will be based on the loot spec you have selected when you hand in the quest. The rings are epic and are ilvl 640. You can buy extra rings for your other specs from Zooti Fizzlefury for , located just outside the Archmage's tower.

Timeless Solium ilvl 680 Ring

Related Instances: Bloodmaul Slag Mines, Grimrail Depot, The Everbloom, Auchindoun Heroic

Required Level: 100

Reward: Timeless Solium Band of the Assassin, Timeless Solium Band of Lifegiving, Timeless Solium Band of the Archmage, Timeless Solium Band of Brutality, Timeless Solium Band of the Bulwark

Time Spent: Heroics can be completed in an afternoon.

After receiving your initial ring, Khadgar will then offer you four quests: three are completed in Heroic Dungeons and one is to collect 4968 Apexis Crystals. The quests in Heroic Dungeons only require level 98 but you can only complete Heroic Dungeons at level 100 and they have an ilvl 610 requirement. Those four quests are:

Core of Flame in Heroic Bloodmaul Slag Mines. Core of Flame is dropped by Gug'rokk. Check out our Bloodmail Slag Mines Dungeon Strategy Guide to clear the instance quickly!
Core of Iron in Heroic Grimrail Depot. Core of Iron is collected "from the Engine of the Grimrail Depot train". Check out our Grimrail Depot Dungeon Strategy Guide to clear the instance quickly!
Core of Life in Heroic The Everbloom. Core of Life drops from Yalnu. Check out our Everbloom Dungeon Strategy Guide to clear the instance quickly!
Draenor's Secret Power: Apexis Crystal can be acquired easily when you are level 100 from a daily quest table at your Level 2 or 3 Town Hall. You can get Apexis Crystal from solo dailies and 0 Apexis Crystal from group dailies. You can also get smaller amounts from grinding level 100 mobs, completing Garrison Invasions, and Work Orders. Learn more about Apexis Crystals with our guide.

The items required for the dungeon quests are clickable objects around the instances, as well as boss drops. Apexis Crystal can be gained in many ways, the most efficient being a daily quest at your Garrison for 800 Apexis Crystal per day.

After handing those in, Khadgar gives you Tackling Teron'gor which requires you to kill Teron'gor in Auchindoun and loot Corrupted Blood of Teron'gor. This quest can only be completed on Heroic mode. Again, don't forget to loot the item off his body.

Return to Khadgar and hand this quest in. Pick up the follow up quest Eyes of the Archmage, speak to the Archmage and protect him as he performs some impressive spells with what you brought back.

Khadgar has now now figured out that Kairoz is the one who helped Garrosh time travel back to Draenor and tasks us to go to Nagrand to go find this dragon. Complete Fugitive Dragon and then actually find Kairoz following the clues indicated in The Dragon's Tale and then kill him ( Tarnished Bronze ) and earn the achievement Chapter I: Call of the Archmage. Tarnished Bronze is a tricky quest and the quest page has many useful comments strategizing on how to complete it.

After killing the dragon, return to Khadgar and hand in Power Unleashed so he can upgrade your ring from 640 ilvl to a 680 ilvl version. Once you have completed this questline, you can buy ilvl 680 rings for other specs from Zooti Fizzlefury for each.

Chapter II: Gul'dan Strikes Back: Spellbound Solium ilvl 690 Ring

Related Instances: Highmaul LFR, Normal, Heroic, or Mythic

Required Level: 100

Reward: Spellbound Solium Band of Sorcerous Strength, Spellbound Solium Band of the Kirin-Tor, Spellbound Solium Band of Fatal Strikes, Spellbound Solium Band of Sorcerous Invincibility, Spellbound Solium Band of the Immortal Spirit

Time Spent: Most players will complete the quest in five weeks, averaging 25 Abrogator Stone per week. Completing the 6.2.2 catch-up quest Abrogator Arbitrator speeds up the time.

If you want to minimize your time raiding, you can complete Legacy of the Sorcerer Kings in 5 weeks solely with Abrogator Arbitrator, requiring a total of 0 Apexis Crystal.

Chapter II: Gul'dan Strikes Back

Empire's Fall: Felbreaker's Tome is looted from Ko'ragh, while Sigil of the Sorcerer King drops from Imperator Mar'gok, the final boss of Highmaul.

Legacy of the Sorcerer Kings: This requires you to collect 125 Abrogator Stone. There are three ways to get these stones:
Complete any of the following missions: He Keeps it Where?, It's Rigged!, Lost in the Weeds, Rock the Boat, Tower of Terror. In 6.2, players see these missions more frequently.

Collect stones from Highmaul bosses on any difficulty--check out our raid overview to learn more about Highmaul. 1-5 Abrogator Stone drop per boss on average. If you have defeat the boss on one difficulty after the weekly reset, killing the boss on other difficulties will not yield stones.

6.2.2 added the weekly quest Abrogator Arbitrator which rewards 5 Abrogator Stone Cluster for 8 Apexis Crystal.

Finally, these stones have a very low chance to be found in Garrison Work Orders.

New to 6.2, several Naval Missions reward stones: One Way or Another, Magical Mystery Cruise, Abracadabra, A Kind of Magic.

After this, you are sent to talk to Khadgar in The Scrying Game, and then track down Garona in Hunter: Hunted. Follow her poison trail as she runs off, and only attack her once she is cornered in the cave.

Khadgar then thanks you in Touch of the Kirin-Tor and upgrades your ring. This version is special as it grants Item - Attacks Proc Archmage's Incandescence, which is a proc that increases your primary stat by 10% for 10 seconds.

Collect runes from Blackrock Foundry bosses on any difficulty--check out our zone page to learn more about Blackrock Foundry. Each boss can drop 9 Elemental Rune with a chance at 27 Elemental Rune. If you have defeat the boss on one difficulty after the weekly reset, killing the boss on other difficulties will not yield runes. If you have already completed this chapter on one character, you will get +4 runes per kill on alts that work on the chain.

New to 6.2.2, the weekly quest Work Work Stoppage awards 75 Elemental Rune for 0 Apexis Crystal.

Finally, these runes have a very low chance to be found in Garrison Work Orders.

details hereThe Final AssaultCommand of the SeasWe Don't Need No Library Card

The first step for Command of the Seas is to upgrade your Shipyard to level 2. Upgrading The Fleet appears once you have completed your first Blockade mission and it requires 15 Naval Combat Missions (previously-completed ones count), , and 0 Garrison Resources.

The follow-up quest Master vs. Commander sends you on a chain of Naval Missions, which eventually reward Draenic Sea Chart.

These missions each take 2 days each (time halved by Blood Elf Crew or Night Elf Crew) and progressively get harder.

The fourth mission, In Hot Pursuit, requires Honored with Hand of the Prophet/Vol'jin's Headhunters to purchase Ship Blueprint: Battleship.

The final mission, Boarding the Master's Call, requires a Level 3 Shipyard because a Carrier is needed to counter Battleship and Ship Blueprint: Carrier is acquired from completing Naval Domination/Naval Domination. This requires you to complete 25 Naval Treasure Missions and turn in and 0 Garrison Resources

Once you’ve collected the tomes, it’s time to start Cooking the Books—or at least it would be if Cordana would cooperate and burn them as she should. Sometimes, if you want to get something done though, you’ve got to do it yourself. You’ll have to fight Cordana to stop her from keeping the books and taking your precious, precious ring.

Once Cordana is defeated, Alliance characters will meet with Yrel to receive K’ara’s blessing (Light Be With You), and Horde characters will meet with Drek’thar to receive a blessing of the elements (Draenor's Blessing).

Crystallized FelValorDawn-Seeker KrisekZooti FizzlefuryCrystallized FelBlue Post: Ring Proc Explanation

Watcher

Let me try to address a few of the concerns raised in the thread and explain our thinking.

First off, why this wacky raidwide effect? Why not a traditional legendary that is purely individual? The idea's origins lie in what this particular legendary is: a ring. It's not a weapon designed to strike foes, or a shield to protect you from harm. And what is the nature of a ring? Whether we're talking about seven rings for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, about Captain Planet, or about common social covenants in our own societies, rings tend to be paired with counterparts, and to have their meaning derived from the connections entailed therein. A lot of fluff, perhaps, but that's what got us thinking along the lines of a group effect rather than a personal one. This certainly isn't a template for all future legendaries, but we find it very fitting for this particular one.

Now, some of the concerns that have been voiced:

1) "It will be used mechanically on cooldown"

Sometimes, sure - it depends on the fight. The healing/tank versions certainly won't be used that way, and the DPS ring also has elements (notably the AoE explosion at the end) that add additional depth to the decision of when to activate it. Let's consider the fights in Foundry, since those are probably more familiar examples than Hellfire, and imagine how the ring might have been put to best use while progressing on a few of those encounters:

Blast Furnace : Largely wasted if you use it on the pull; you might save the first activation for the second pair of Operators, and then during the second phase you'd aim for windows of Elementalist vulnerability, since that's what matters most.
Operator Thogar : Here we run into some unique considerations associated with the explosion. You could activate the ring in advance of a Man-at-Arms wave, getting a damage burn on Thogar while you build up the potential AoE that will go off just in time to alpha-strike the dangerous enemies right as they jump off a train car.
Flamebender : If you aren't running into her berserk, the Cinder Wolves are your main concern. You'd probably benefit from waiting until she's at 45 or so Energy, and timing the explosion to get a large head start on the Wolves. Especially on Mythic.
Blackhand : Aside from the obvious uses to speed up phase 1 and phase 3, I could see having your initiating player as the person who's about to get knocked up onto a balcony with a fresh wave spawn due, timing the explosion to pretty much erase the whole wave of enemies right as they exit the door on the ledge.

Now, on something like Gruul, you probably would just use it on cooldown every time. But I'd say Gruul is more the exception than the norm.

2) "It feels bad to have someone else control my legendary"

This is a fair point, and I sympathize. Setting aside the fact that when doing any solo content you have complete control over the activation, there is still more control with this legendary than with nearly any of our prior examples. Procs could occur at completely inopportune times, often wasting them entirely, and whether you got lucky and had Xuen's cloak trigger just as a large pack of enemies got clumped together, or whether it fired 10 seconds earlier or later, could drastically alter your total damage on a given encounter.

At its core, the legendary ring is a raid item - the vast majority of the content and the collection steps take you through raid content - and players who are part of a raid group are by definition cooperating and coordinating to tackle challenges. The rings add another layer to that teamwork. Even outside structured guild raiding, it's neither typical nor tolerated in pickup groups for, say, a mage to use Time Warp to maximize personal damage at the expense of the raid, and I'd be surprised if it's common to see it done with the ring. Now, yes, in Raid Finder, though you also won't generally be seeing raids with tons of ring-wearers, you'll probably see some selfish behavior. But even then, the effect isn't wasted (merely suboptimal), and that action isn't likely to affect the group's success or failure on the encounter as a whole given Raid Finder's tuning.

3) "The effect isn't fair/balanced and is worse for my spec than other specs"

True. We could have made a perfectly evenhanded ring effect - something like "Equip: Increases damage and healing done by 10%." That also would have been very lackluster. Nearly any effect with any depth to it will benefit some more than others so long as our classes/specs have varied strengths and weaknesses. (And we don't feel that class homogenization is the answer, either.) Over the course of a fight, that may amount to a difference of a couple percent damage, if that. Hopefully we continue to make interesting and unusual items, and some of those will favor specs that feel the ring was suboptimal for them.
There's nothing in particular about the ring's design that discourages raids from bringing people who don't yet have it, as compared to any other type of legendary or any player-power increase. Players without the ring will do some percentage less damage (or healing, or have one fewer tank cooldown) over the course of the fight as a whole, but that's just the nature of any big-power item. It's not really different from the cloaks in Mists, or theoretical alternate versions of the ring that had no group synergy component. I'm sure that later in the expansion there will be guilds and pickup groups that strongly or exclusively prefer people with legendary rings, but that's a social dynamic that's nearly unavoidable with any form of player power progression, whether it's a specific legendary or just item level in general.

Also, as a separate clarification, I wasn't saying it that it won't be used on the pull. It absolutely will be used on the pull in the vast majority of cases. However, the cooldown is short enough that many other opportunities will arise to be more tactical with its use as the fight goes on, rather than just using it automatically every 2 minutes thereafter.

Finally, nothing in Hellfire Citadel is being tuned around having the ring. That's a big part of why it is not currently available to use in PTR testing. In Siege of Orgrimmar, many players had their cloaks before they first set foot in the zone on the day of the patch, which somewhat diluted the impact of completing the cloak since those players didn't really get a before-and-after comparison of specific fights once they'd earned it. Cutting edge progress in Hellfire Citadel, on the other hand, will occur without legendary rings in the raid. And then as raid members complete their rings, the power of the legendary will help you overcome Gul'dan's forces.

Well damn. There goes my theory that Kael'thas was behind it all.. was so hoping to see him again!

EDIT: ..wait.. Thrall is Bald in the screen shot... WUT?

Comment by 1072517

I said "screw it" to getting the cape on alts. Too much work. But this seems really alt friendly.

Comment by Tuckletuts

I like the idea behind the legendary ring, and I'm sure it will be powerful. My only issue is that the stats on them are horrible, and there are a lot of classes who will probably abandon them at some point. Casters for example - they pretty much all want Multistrike which is absent from the ring. Mastery and Versatility are the worst stats for a Frost Mage too, so I can see myself replacing it with stuff from Mythic Highmaul and Heroic BRF...

Comment by Oakshala

Way too much crap to do for one ring

Comment by alpha5099

How much do the other rings cost? Because I'm pretty sure my toons will want to be rocking both rings. Or can you only wear one at a time?

Comment by chakothee

Hm, soms of the steps can only be completed in Normal/Heroic instead of LFR raids? No rings for us casuals then :)

Comment by Skyfist

I do like the way legendaries have been implemented through these questlines now, and I think the cloak felt great to have... giant wings or sigils sprouting from your back, turning all the heads (at least at the start, when few people had it), and then especially going berserk as a melee during the proc... it was a worthy reward of the questline.

However, this legendary being a ring, and rings generally never showing on characters in any way, shape or form makes me wonder if while the stats will be nice, will it feel "legendary" to have it? I do hope there's some kind of graphical addition or some kind of differential that sets players with it visually apart from players that haven't invested that time yet.

Comment by 1315875

So what happens when we have full legendary gear?

Comment by Dorethemage

Will people be able to stockpile Apexis crystals for later in the quest line, or will the counter only start once we have the Apexis crystal quest?

Comment by Teunis

atm you dont need turn in those 4986 shard, you can get the 680 ring without it.
(the other parts are still required)

Comment by 334521

Should add that the apex crystals aren't required to upgrade to 680. It's for further down the line.

Comment by 593434

the itemization for warrior is kind of crappy, crit is very nice but multistrike is kind of useless for now.

until they make spells hit harder and less often multi strike is gona be meh from now to the end of xpac it seems.

Comment by 724109

So, the ring itself is not legendary, just the questline...?

Comment by Doobiefest

After doing Tackling Teron'gor quest, I cannot continue, all im left with is the Draenor's Secret Power quest, anybody know why im facing this problem?

Comment by 1004898

Just completed this leg of the quest myself and can confirm that you can start farming the crystals needed for immediately via a Garrison Mission.
The quest is a rare level 100 mission named Tower of Terror it will reward 3 crystals and takes 24 hours (23 hours and 53 minutes to be exact) to complete.
Happy hunting! <3

Comment by gunsotsu

So far, only the last quest currently available requires you to enter a raid - Empire's Fall appears to be a set up for the next patch. The ring at 680 is as upgraded as it is going to get for this patch. This quest can be completed on any raid difficulty and both Felbreaker's Tome and Sigil of the Sorcerer King are looted from Imperator Mar'gok, the final boss of Highmaul.

this is technically untrue since most people already on this portion of the quest will have already beat the raid on normal or heoic way before lfr or mythic comes out..

just saying.

Comment by MrMadBacon

Question:
After I Complete the 680 questline of the ring, I'll be able to buy a 640 or a 680 one? And If I buy the 640 i'll be able to upgrade it to 680?

Thanks :D

Comment by taronlock

Can I equip a lower tier "Solium Band of Wisdom" with a higher item "Timeless Solium Band of Lifegiving"?

Are two different rings from same "Solium Band" or not?

Comment by glitchzy

I hope this doesn't contain another pvp requirement... ew

Comment by Mortyfar

Got some questions here :

1. If you are in the wrong spec(healing) upon recieving the first ring 640ilvl, will it change stats upon upgrading it to 680ilvl if you are in the propper spec(dps)?

2. If it's a no to question 1., when you buy the dps ring for 400g, will both rings get upgraded to 680ilvl upon handing in the upgrade quest?

If yes on question 2., considering that you pay 400g for the 640 ring, vs 800-1000g for the 680 ring, it would make sense to buy the rings for your other specs before handing in the quest to upgrade to 680, if no, don't buy the 640 ring before upgrading, thereby saving some Gold.
And hence I wonder why you wouldn't just have it cost the same no matter the ilvl.

I am confussed...

Comment by bossfight1

Felbreaker's Tome actually drops from the penultimate boss, Ko'ragh; I don't know if it can drop from Mar'gok too.

Comment by Taenamyr

It has been tested and confirmed that the caster dps ring will proc for healers (Disc Priest) when using both damaging spells and healing spells (and PWS as well, which the MoP legendary items did not proc on)

Comment by BrightBrown

I've posted this in several places now, including submiting a blizz ticket which drew a non response to go here... it was crystal clear whomever didn't actually read my question because he talked about needing to do the earlier quests (which I clearly said I had ALREADY done!). I'm on Tarnished Bronze, the damn FINAL quest in the chain, d/oh.

Prior, I dutifully followed all the bread cumbs in Nagrand that led me to Khargar to fight what turns into some huge bronze dragon w/3.4M HP. Rolled dps (uh that's what I am) but before I knew it I was sitting on 200G worth of broken gear and out of buff food. So I head back to my Garrison to deal with those issues, returning afterward to Nagrand.

Of course, I visited the wowhead page for the specific quest only to find in a fit of simply god awful quest design that I have to roll as a healer to have ANY chance to complete it.

Damn quest is STILL sitting in my log, but it has no number and no indication where to go (uh, it HAD happened in Nagrand). Spent a bunch of time doing all the usuall voo-doo (dropping and reacquiring the same quest from Khargar back in his tower). Nothing, nada.

Far as I can tell, I am totally stuck and will never be able to get the 680 ring un less blizz actually DOES sometning. OR, does anyone here have a clue?

Comment by 1203072

I am a little concerned because I have literally no flight paths in Draenor yet, except to Ashran, and one in Gorgrond because I've dungeoned my way to 99. Oops. Not even taking the quest gives you the direct flight path like some quests. Anyone have any advice as to how to get to Zangarra without the flight path? Thank you!

Comment by 1399217

At the mo, I'm sitting on 63/125 stones and got the Felbreaker. If I calculate correctly, by Februrary when Blackrock Foundry is released, I'll have gotten all the stones by then and able to turn that lengthy quest in. It seems like Blizz has things just lined up in such a way.

Only things is we gotta save Khadgar's life at some point before Chapter 2 completion. I'm itching to know what that'll entail.

Comment by 1001386

Does the ring do anything cool like the Cloak in MoP did or is it just for stats?
-Anything Special

Comment by 1392125

What happens when you turn in the Highmaul quests? Do you get the 690 ring?

Comment by 1424240

Note: Like Abrogator Stones, you can receive an Elemental Rune from work orders.

Thus, if you happen to have work orders waiting to be picked up, and already have enough Abrogator Stones to complete the preceding quest---

DO NOT PICK UP YOUR WORK ORDERS until you are on the quest Might of the Elemental Lords!

I received an Elemental Rune when picking up a backlogged Gladiator's Sanctum tribute (As I was both honor and conquest point capped by Monday) minutes after completing Part II.

This may not be anything huge, but for those who like to be as far ahead as possible, it's worth noting.

In addition, The Pits appeared in my available missions immediately after returning to my garrison from Zangarra.

edit: I suppose to be thorough, I will add that I have received a rune from a Dwarven Bunker shipment and a Gladiator's Sanctum thus far.

Comment by 1424640

Got my 690 ring on Wednesday 1.1 on TheVentureCo, and got the first Elemental Rune mission with 6 Counters Rocks Fall. Everyone Dies., and a Elemental Rune from a Barn workorder. For those with two specs like me buying the 690 offspec ring costs 1200g.

!Spoiler Alert!

After getting my Abrogator Stones the questline proceeds with Khadgar searching yet again for Gul´dan with the power of the Abrogator Stones, only to be retaliated as Garona Halforcen ambushes Khadgar and runs away. You chase Garona and eventually capture her, and when you return Jaina Proudmoore has come and saved Khadgar from Garona´s enchanted blade. Khadgar then proceeds to bind the power of the stones and tomes to you and gives you the ring.

As a side note, having the tank ring buff strength aswell for my Death Knight gave me a considerable dps boost to my already-great Blood dps capability ^^

Comment by JulesPeace

You'll definitely get the 690 ring before 6.1, as some people already have them. Proof: http://www.wowprogress.com/character/eu/lightning-s-blade/Luumu has Spellbound Solium Band of Fatal Strikes equiped. So prepare to get it after Legacy of the Sorcerer Kings.

Updated with 6.1 announcements and Foundry details.

Comment by Lostelf

All these raid items seem a little excessive considering I remember them mentioning cutting down on them (Apparently learned their lesson after the runes/secrets/Titan runestone fiasco of the last legendary quest-line). Almost at the end of the Abrogator stone questline only to find out blackrock foundry is even worse! Bit sad about that.

Comment by Teiwazgod

Personally, I would prefer if this guy was a proc when fighting or even use him from the Barracks as a companion..

Comment by GuliverGumba

Hey, if the ring (ilvl 640) is enchated, and i "upgrade it via the quest to a ilvl 680, does it remove the enchantment, or does it stay?

ty in advance

Comment by Laserheart

Don't do what I did, which was to buy a second ring to equip on my second finger. You can't wear two of them. And, it won't let you return it at the price you paid. I lost 500 gold doing this.

Comment by Vishine

plz dont kill khadgar!

Comment by MoltenCookie

Can you complete the Highmaul quests on LFR difficulty? Or is it only Normal and up?

Comment by bazzyl

Really fun quest and cool voiceplay: youtu.be/a4iCL-xUKHA More quests like this one.

Comment by TheDru

There's a reason you cant equip two of them (besides the unique-equipped), because there can only be One Ring to rule them all...

Comment by 1446632

Can I get Abrogator stones in normal raid or,do I need to do Raids in Heroic mode? 125 stones is just way too much!

Comment by willturnbad

Is Garona Halforcen between Chapters 2 and Chapter 3? This guide does not specify if she is the the chain or a splinter off the legendary chain. I am halfway through http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=9642. Chapter 3 I see her trapped in orb and do not see any other quests related. I am not sure if I am missing something.
Thanks

What happens when Gul'dan meets with Grom I must know.

Comment by Hentaya

The write-up mentions the increased drop rate for alts on Elemental Runes; in addition to that:

(from https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/status/575758451764170752)

Tradu ‏@TraduTN 19h19 hours ago
@WarcraftDevs @lifetotem So once you finish the Highmaul ring, alts get more Highmaul stuff, and the same for the BRF ring and alts?

WarcraftDevs
@TraduTN @lifetotem Yes, this applies to all of Khadgar's questlines that require a collection of raid-dropped items.

Comment by ghakajin

I haven't extensively tested this yet, but I'm pretty sure only blackhand gives 27 runes and all other bosses give 9. The past two weeks this has been the case for me. If this is true, a full clear each week gives 108 runes.

Comment by Tribesne

How are these rings legendary? Other than the enorrmus grind to get them and the fancy legendary follower, these are just epic rings with good stat lines. They aren't the usual orange color for legendaries so as far as I'm concerned their nothing but fancy epics. I see some people saying the 710's are the final stage, if that were true they would have orange instead of purple.

Comment by 1390087

Hello, Is anyone else finding that these rings are great.....except for healers? i have now completed this main quest line for the 690 ring on three toons, a tank (loves the proc) and MDPS (what did i do without it!) and a healer (never sees a proc, unless im spending time damaging and not my job healing) is there something i missed? or are the procs only for damaging spells? i would like to think blizzard knows there are people whom strictly play a role on a raid team and are being let out of these benefits.

anyone else feel this way? or maybe anyone else have a hint as to how to make these procs for for my lonely little healer?

thanks!

Comment by Jym65

How can you possible get 900 Elemental Runes in 3 weeks?

Comment by Wolfmistress

As of right now, if you have completed all of the questline in 6.1, you will get 3 quests from Khadgar for 6.2.
Ogres of the Deep
To Farahlon!
We Don't Need no Library Card

The first two are shipyard missions. The last is a collection quest (only 12 items though) from Hellfire Citadel.

Comment by 109478

Good guide, the addition of proc information on the higher tier rings would be a welcome addition.

Comment by alphasigmasigma

The guide is somewhat incorrect about Blackhand's Secret. You can pick up this quest after completing Reverse Piracy, Heart of the Fury, and Flamebender's Tome, even if you haven't completed Might of the Elemental Lords yet.

Comment by 550995

Question looking at the 6.2 legendary ring proc's.
Looks like the Strength melee rings have different procs than the tank or healing rings, is that right?
DPS > awakens powers of Savage Hallows
Tank > awakens powers of Sanctus Rings
Heals > awakes powers of Ethalralus

So the raid would have 1 designated trigger person per class (dps/tanks/heals)?

Comment by 1488383

The way the legendary ring in 6.2 works looks interesting, lots of good burst by the sounds of things, all shall be revealed.

Comment by iceman994

Great Guide thank you

Comment by 1489017

This questline is super exciting. It's a bit tedious though!

Comment by Aralnda

There have been times where the Tome of Chaos hasn't dropped on some bosses (once from The Council in HFC, and once from Kilrock). Most the time the tome is auto in your bag, some of my guildies even went to loot the boss and didn't see the tome there either just in case. Is this a bug or is there only a "chance" of getting the tome?

Comment by pat33

Its not very alt friendly

Wanted to roll a PVE Druid in season 2 but didn't want to grind the "Legendary Ring". I couldn't handle to grind "again" the 900 Elemental Runes so I did some calculations about it.

Found out that:

1) at 700 Ilvl (without the ring) adding a 795 ILVL Ring gave me : 706 ILVL (+6)
2) at 715 Ilvl (without the ring) adding a 795 ILVL Ring gave me : 720 ILVL (+5)
3) at 735 Ilvl (without the ring) adding a 795 ILVL Ring gave me : 739 ILVL (+4)

IMO raids are created (even in mythic) to be manageable without the ring. I don't think you will wipe because the overall ILVL of the entire raid isn't at Ilvl 739. Mechanics, avoiding damage. AOE and dispelling plays a larger role than a simple but MOST TEDIOUS ring to farm.

In conclusion :
1) I really hope that ppl won't debase themselves on rolling several alts and getting the ring on each one off them.
2) Your gear will get old no matter what , just take a look at your old legendary Mist cloak...
3) If you abide by the rule that Wow gives us every time we're reloading: "Remember to take all things in moderation even World of Warcraft" then the precious ring should be Acc-wide and I'm suprised that Blizzard don't take in account that we all have IRL to do.
4) In all fairness you did the grind once it's yours you should use it as any deserving member of your raid but I feel sorry for ppl that said to me : it's my 3rd alts on this ... It's a very long and tedious grind I don't see that it's fair to redo all the work and for some players it's enough to quit the game.

Comment by 1106042

so0...it would take approximately 30 weeks at least to get 795 ring..ouch

Comment by Cheilynn

The final mission, Boarding the Master's Call, requires a Level 3 Shipyard because a Carrier is needed to counter Battleship and Ship Blueprint: Carrier is acquired from completing Naval Domination/ Naval Domination. This requires you to complete 25 Naval Treasure Missions and turn in 2,500 and 2500

Not really true...several, including myself, are reporting completion of this mission with only a level 2 shipyard. Having a carrier only gives you a better success rate but is not absolutely necessary. You take your chances.

Comment by TarrynItUp

I don't even care about this ring, it is driving me batty. I just want to monument :D It's so pretty :)

Comment by BrightBrown

Tried searching to see which of the naval missions I still have to do, but I get nothing from your database after the first one (which it says I've completed)! Maybe some form of checking tool like you did with flying...

Comment by 680028

What do I do if I was a lil excited about finally getting Inside Job! done and I kind of hearthed back to my garrison without noticing My Garona ? I know I know noob move just up and hearthing without looking, but I'm a ditz like that >.<

Comment by zizoex

Then you have got all the tomes, you will need to defeat Cordana Felsong and some Tome of chaos, Cordana had 1.71M HP and the books so little they just die from aoe, very easy fight. After the fight she walks into a demon gate and disappear, then you travel back to Khadgar who sends you further to Yrel who is Karabor and then you can get the ring.
You can buy a 2nd for OS only cost 1600g and sell our old ring for 50g since it will not be used in the upgrade to legendary.

After you got the ring, there will be a new mission called Darkness Incarnate. this is what it says in the quest

Hunt down and engage Gul´dan within the Hellfire Citadel.
0/1 Gul´dan thwarted.

Description

We have one more task before us, (player name).
We must defeat Gul´dan and unravel his plans for this world.

I have no reward to offer you - I have given you everything I can.

Come. When you and your allies are ready, we march on Hellfire Citadel... and end this.

Reward 231g

Will most likely be you then need to kill Archimonde to complete it will update once I have the quest done.

And here is my char as prove for got the ring http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/magtheridon/Z%C3%AFzo/simple

Comment by artemis

This is a really nice guide but, I can't help to notice that, Navel Mission say:

The fourth mission, In Hot Pursuit, requires Honored with Hand of the Prophet/Vol'jin's Headhunters to purchase Ship Blueprint: Carrier

I know that, Ship Blueprint: Carrier required Honored ad the begining but, it have been hotfixed to only Friendly now.

Comment by shucker

It could be helpful for first timers reading this guide to know that you CANNOT complete Blackhand's Secret after looting him in the same week. So if you already have enough fragments to make a tablet and complete the 4 quests which are required to obtain Blackhand's Secret.

I only found information regarding that after I killed Blackhand, which was by then, too late. Putting this out here so more people will have access to this information. If you didn't understand what I meant, don't kill Blackhand before starting Blackhand's Secret, unless you absolutely need the elemental fragments to finish up your 3 tablets.

It may also be important to point out that Chapter IV: Darkness Incarnate does not begin until after Blackhand's Secret is completed. This guide incorrectly places Blackhand's Secret under the Chapter IV header. Some may feel that it was a minor mistake. But the lack of information regarding Blackhand's Secret's "bug" coupled with it being labelled under Chapter IV made me think that I could start collecting my tomes the same week I finished my 715 ring.

Comment by yzq85

Rings for another spec get discounts depending on your rep with the Kirin Tor. Also, the legendary ring's use function is disabled if you're not in the ring's spec, i.e. you cannot activate a DPS ring while in tank spec. For those with rings for different specs, you can only upgrade 1 ring per week with the upgrade item that drops off Archimonde (on Normal difficulty and up). However, you can choose which ring to upgrade.

Comment by NadiBlob

So.. Seems like I can only upgrade one of my two rings? (One for healing and one for dps)

As I am a dps that might be going healer in my raiding guild, it's a little annoying that I can only get one upgraded..

Comment by 1496357

i got the blackhand quest in chapter 3

Comment by 201644

If you are working on Chapter III (Blackrock) and turn in the 3 item quests (e.g., heart, tome and orb), you can immediately get the quest "Blackhand's Secret" even tho you have not completed the Elemental Tablets quest. This is convenient because you are probably running Blackrock for the runes, so will get Blackhand's arm done, too, the next run through.

Comment by Nobbel

I've made a video showing the full version of Khadgar's legendary quest line given during Warlords of Draenor. It contains both sides so Alliance and Horde, hope you'll enjoy!

https://youtu.be/LX208g0W6i4

"Gul'dan and his shadow council were released to disconnect the dark portal, but by doing so we created a big problem. Gul'dan was willing to sell his own people to the legion and he will stop at nothing to gain more power. Khadgar recruits heroes of both the Alliance and the Horde to try and stop this evil warlock. His attempt nearly cost him his life to the assassin Garona Halforcen, but thankfully we were able to save him and even capture the half orc. After liberating her mind, we find out that the Iron Horde isn't happy with their current warchief and Gul'dan makes full use of this. It's become even more difficult to stop the evil warlock and his demonic masters..."

Comment by ImpalerEU

Oh dear, I collected all 33 tomes and now I find out that I actually had to pay attention to one of the worst additions to the game ever(alongside Garrisons), the Naval Missions. Yeah, time to abandon this quest and trash legendary altogether.

Comment by crazydogs

"Group Effect" from ring proc .. hmm my character sees no increase in dps on his meter from the ever increasng damage I should get from the "proc"... while his ilvl keeps going ever higher as he defeats Archimode on normal every week..in fact the dps on 2 other warriors in the raid has increased while mine stays lower in raid anyway and they have lower 715 ilvl rings. of course they get gear that i need .. which explains why their dps goes up and mine doesn't . but the ring helping my personal dps .. insignificant.

Comment by yzq85

When you upgrade to the legendary ring, you'll lose the chance for Archmage's Greater Incandescence (+15% primary stat for 10 secs) to proc. How much DPS do you actually lose? Just curious.

Comment by 874940

When handing in the 3 Elemental Tablets for Chapter 3 to get your 715 level Epic ring. If you have Defender Illona as your Bodyguard, she will sacrifice herself while trying to protect you & you'll get the 60 minute cool down on your Bodyguard.

Comment by doncoyote

I hope we can use this ring in Legion. For some people, including me, is hard to complete these legendary quests as I don't have too much time to play. Back in Pandaria I was very excited with the cloak until I found that when WoD was launched, any green cloak was more powerful than the legendary.
I will really love that developers care about the people taken a lot of time making these quests and keep this items useful after futures expansion launches... or at least we can these items and those fancy effects for transmogrification.

Comment by 1542314

Thanks for the guide! Helped a lot

Comment by preecher

Who receives the dps of the "blast of light that strikes all enemies within 20 yards of the initiator"?

Does this ring ask ranged dps to be within 20yds of the target?

Does ranged dps benefit from the "blast of light"?

Comment by ElieSnow7193

Even though they were mentioned already I feel like I'm obligated to note that you get any where from 10-15 Abrogator Stones during Naval Missions, specifically these:

Abracadabra

One Way or Another

A Kind of Magic

Magical Mystery Cruise

You only receive 3 from these Garrison Follower quests:

He Keeps it Where?

It's Rigged!

Lost in the Weeds

Rock the Boat

Tower of Terror

Finally you can receive Abrogator Stones from Abrogator Stone Cluster which is a quest reward for the weekly quest Abrogator Arbitrator (as well as a drop from Highmaul bosses). You can receive this quest from Kluk'kluk in Lion's Watch In Tannan Jungle. You get 5 as reward and they break into 5 separate pieces for a total of 25 from the quest.

I do not know how often the Naval Missions are supposed to appear but I had one every day when I did this part of the questline so using that as a quick reference you can make 70-105 in a week (Tuesday-Tuesday) plus the weekly mission which is anywhere from 95-130 if you are lucky using the Garrison Follower missions to help supplement your deficit. At worst you are looking at 2 weeks of work, if you're lucky like I was you can have this done in a reset period without even having to step foot in Highmaul. I hope you guys find this useful and that it expedites your hunt for stones. Happy Questing!

P.S. - Not asking for up-votes but if this makes it to green text I'll consider uploading this as a small guide along with my process for gathering the Elemental Runes and Tome of Chaos

Comment by beroge

Is it possible at all to solo most of this? I'm on my server at very odd times and never group up....but I want the ring! Or lvl 690 ring at least!

Comment by kanegasi

I don't understand how they got ~77 kills for Tome of Chaos. Assuming 50% droprate and final drop off of last boss for that week, that's 5 weeks of full clears.

13 bosses; 50% droprate = 6.5 tomes a week

33 tomes / 6.5 tomes a week = ~5 weeks

13 bosses * 5 weeks = 65 total kills, again assuming last tome off of 13th boss in 5th week

Unless you are super unlucky, 65 kills should be the maximum. I just finished my third full clear with 27 tomes, so an average of 9 a week. While 5 weeks is the "max", expect 4 weeks to complete the final leg.

Comment by VexaHD

I've just completed the naval mission in chapter IV with Mission Completion Orders instant. This is an item dropped by workorders of the mage's tower, this can help a lot!

Comment by Gracin

So I was bored and decided to do a test run because everyone I speak with in randoms ^&*!@es about the amount of time required for the ring quest. I boosted a level 60 toon to level 100, and started taking notes daily on my progress, and how what was involved with the progress that day. Decided about halfway through to post my results here, so as people can actually see it isn't a huge time investment to make progress on the ring.

Ring Day 1 - Fri 5th

50/125 Abrogator Stone

Began ring quest, completed up to the 680 ilvl ring. Completed Tanaan apexis weekly, ran all of LFR Highmaul.

Ring Day 2 - Sat 6th

61/125 Abrogator Stone

Naval mission and garrison workorder.

Ring Day 3 - Sun 7th

76/125 Abrogator Stone

Naval mission.

Ring Day 4 - Mon 8th

87/125 Abrogator Stone

Naval mission.

Ring Day 5 - Tues 9th

118/125 Abrogator Stone

Naval mission, completed LFR Highmaul. Could have finished today, didn't do Tanaan apexis weekly for this stage to save for next stage.

Note: Found out after the fact, that the different Tanaan apexis weeklies do not share a CD, so I could have completed the 125 Abrogator Stone.

Ring Day 6 - Wed 10th

133/125 Abrogator Stone
243/900 Elemental Rune

Completed 690 ilvl ring, all of LFR Blackrock Foundry, garrison workorder, and Tanaan apexis weekly.

Note: Not entirely necessary, but you can try and do Blackhand'a Crucible after the other "item" quests are turned in, so the Blackhand quest is available.

Ring Day 7 - Thur 11th

321/900 Elemental Rune

Garrison misson, naval mission, and garrison workorders.

Ring Day 8 - Fri 12th

344/900 Elemental Rune

Naval Mission

Ring Day 9 - Sat 13th

378/900 Elemental Rune

Naval Mission and garrison workorders.

Note: Still had an Abrogator Stone mission available at command table from Day 6, began it to see if it was preventing Elemental Rune mission from spawning. Elemental Rune mission spawned "sometime" after 125 started. Not sure if the missions were tied together.

Ring Day 10 - Sun 14th

454/900 Elemental Rune

Garrison mission and naval mission.

Ring Day 11 - Mon 15th

499/900 Elemental Rune

Garrison mission and naval mission.

Ring Day 12 - Tues 16th

615/900 Elemental Rune

Garrison misson, naval mission, garrison workorder, and Tanaan apexis weekly quest.

Ring Day 13 - Wed 17th

640/900 Elemental Rune
Naval mission and garrison workorders.

Ring Day 14 - Thur 18th

699/900 Elemental Rune

Two naval missions and a garrison workorder.

Ring Day 15 - Fri 19th

937/900 Elemental Rune

Garrison mission, naval mission, ran all of LFR Blackrock Foundry.

Note:I wasn't able to run LFR Blackrock Foundry on days 12 through 14 because of illness and scheduling issues. It is possible, but unlikely that running them would have completed the 900 Elemental Runes earlier.

From, here it's obviously down to just running some sort of Hellfire Citadel. I'm not going to continue taking daily notes for obvious reasons. With good luck you could possibly be done within three clears.

I do want to not, this would likely go faster for those of you who have established garrison followers that are at least at level 100, more so if they are epic and have appropriate ilvls. Using a boosted toon that had none of these left me scrambling to try and complete the legendary garrison missons. I basically set out to gather high level followers, and used the War Mill/Salvage Yard for armor/weapons. This likely cost me 1-5 days worth of chances at completing those missions. I recommend the addon FollowerLocationInfo, to nab the easy to obtain higher level followers. Also, do the Harrison Jones daily everyday, 6 days and you obtain him which is a huge boost to your garrison missions. I didn't get Croman or Leeroy because no group wanted to take the time, and I chose to not build the Inn so I wasn't able to recruit Millhouse. I did however, venture into the Brawler's Guild, and within a few hours I was able to fairly easily get Meatball.

All in all I think this went fairly smooth, and wasn't really that time consuming. Outside of the four complete raids, and the four dungeons needed at the beginning I was basically logging in for 10 minutes twice a day to check on garrison/naval missions. I also was spending maybe 15-30 minutes a day doing the Tanaan dailies so I could afford the apexis weekly quest.

15 days to a 715 ilvl ring isn't all too much to complain about in my opinion, and had I known beforehand about the apexis weeklies not sharing a CD, I believe it would have been 14 days.

I may actually give this another shot on another more established level 100 I have. Hope this helps, and make sure to point people here when the whine "IT TAKES FOREVERRRRR!"

UPDATE
Pushed through on another toon, just to verify my long ass post. This toon had a few more followers at the start, but not enough to sway in any big way. Took exactly 14 days to go from start to 715. I thought it was going to drag out a day longer because I began on a Monday, but after doing this run I have decided ideally that the day before reset is the best day to begin the 125 Abrogator Stone section. This is only if you can do the apexis weekly the entirety of Highmaul on that day, and then the same after reset. What I found was you can earn enough stones from the two apexis weeklies, and two clears of highmaul, thus ignoring the need for any long drawn out garrison missions for that stage.

Comment by pat33

March 3,2016

The drop does'nt reset at the same time as a reset server.

Example: (happened to me)
Normal Archimonde kill: tuesday 10 am = 1 x Crystallized Fel
Reset server: tuesday 11AM
Normal Archimonde kill: tuesday 19pm = 0 x Crystallized Fel

************************************************************************************
Game Master reply:
It looks like the reset time for Crystallized Fel doesn't match up exactly with raid resets. Crystallized Fel resets about a day before so the fel you earned in the first run was your Fel drop for this week.
************************************************************************************

So my best advice is to kill Archimonde

Deadline Sunday 23:59* = 1 x Crystallized Fel
Will drop tuesday 11:00 am = 1 x Crystallized Fel

*Depending on your real world location I would advice sunday 20:00.

This is bad programming.

Shamans are masters of elemental and nature magics with signature totems providing party buffs. A shaman can summon one totem of each element - earth, fire, air, and water - which appears at the shaman's feet and provides a buff to anyone in the shaman's party or raid within range of it. Some shaman totems, notably the fire ones, also do damage to opponents. The trick to playing any type of shaman is knowing which totems to cast under which circumstances to maximize the group's damage output and survivability. Shaman also make great interrupters and have the fun self-res Reincarnation.
Shamans are primarily spellcasters, although an Enhancement shaman likes to get close and personal and do damage within melee range. An enhancement shaman learns to Dual Wield weapons and can use Feral Spirit to summon a pair of Spirit Wolves to aid in battle. Despite being primarily melee, Enhancement shamans can still gain some benefit from spellpower and can cast instant Lightning Bolt or heals with (Spell #51530).
Elemental shamans stand back and cast fire and lightning spells to deal great amounts of damage.
A shaman that choses Restoration gains improved healing spells and can be a great raid or tank healer. Resto shamans are known for their powerful Chain Heal and Healing Rain abilities. They also gain a powerful (Spell #974), can use Cleanse Spirit and Purge, and have an instant-cast direct heal plus heal over time effect called Riptide.
Shamans can cast Bloodlust (or Heroism) to boost the entire group's damage and healing. This buff is unique and oft sought after for a raid group.
Shamans can only have one elemental shield - (Spell #324) or (Spell #52127)--on at a time. (Spell #974), if the shaman knows it, can be cast on another player.

Comment by JolietJerry

Just finished the last step and received my 735 ring today :)

For anyone who's interested, my drop rate for the Tomes of Chaos was 69% overall (48 boss kills over 4 weeks.) Just thought I'd post it here as the guide simply states they are not a 100% drop and to assume 77 kills needed with a 50% drop rate.

The lowest drop rate I had in a given week was 61.5% (8 out of 13) and I got lucky and finished strong by only needing nine kills for the last seven Tomes (78% drop rate.)

I also recommend saving up the Valor you get from LFR and daily DF so you have 5,000 available for when you get the 735 ring. That way you can instantly upgrade it to 747 by purchasing four Crystallized Fel in Lion's Watch or Vol'Mar.

Good luck to everyone trying to get their Legendary before Legion drops!

Comment by baastiano

Hi everybody.

For you who is starting the quest line read this.

The estimated time in this guide is not up-to-date.
I just turned in chapter II.
I did chapter I-II in 2 resets... Yes thats right...

If you do the lfr part and grind stone + trade for crystals + garrison misson + and this one is important HARBOUR MISSONS!

glhf with farming

Comment by Rezy

Hey guys, I'm half way on the road to get the ring, and I will get it before Legion, the only thing that matters for me are the achievements I will get, because the item itself will be no use in future. I am doing this on an alliance character but my friends and guildmates are planing to play on another realm and on the opposite faction (horde) for the next expansion. and I'm not going to transfer I just want to make new characters there. Now my question is: do I get all of the achievements (Legacy or FoS) this ring offers even if I change my faction and realm? or the horde version is different? just like warlord of draenor title requirements?

Comment by 135352

Man, that blue explanation/apology about the ring was such a load of !@#$. If they'd wanted it to be about groups and union, they should have just given it a nice individual passive or use effect that got stronger the more people in your group have the ring. Shared use sucks.

Comment by 1490730

With Legion being so close is there still time to complete this as I want the Achievement, I'm at Chapter 3. How long do you think its gonna take to complete from here?

Regards Val

Comment by akasachmo

It seems like you can no longer start this questline like you could as a lvl 98. Khadghar's servant is just wandering around without a quest.

Comment by DawningLight9

So we can't pick up any quests in the quest line at this point? I can't even tell which quest I left off on. I have nothing in my quest log. I remember being between either Cores and the 4896 crystals. So am I permanently locked out of the quest? You get them all from him in Zangaara right? If he has no ! mark does that mean I'm locked out of the quest?

Comment by SweetJohnnyCage

I want to add that you do NOT need a level 3 shipyard in order to complete "Boarding the Master's Call". I completed it with a level 2 shipyard with a 73% chance of completion. Not sure the fleet as I just took a stab at it before finishing my 24th and 25th treasure missions.
