Made much easier as of 4.0.3a he no longer has a time limit. Wipe away! :D

Once you reach level 81 if you go and do the fight in the gear you wont get the title. I tested it just for you. :)

Not worth it, this titel implies hours and weeks of raiding ulduar with a group that is willing to stay at level 80 all that time to gear up and kill algalon.

I wanted to confirm this is very much still in the game as of patch 4.2.2 as we completed this on Saturday, 10/22/11. You can view my character Confession on Stormrage to confirm.

Here's my synopsis:

Recruiting:
This was a very tough run to put together as it requires all 10 players level 80 and geared as other players have explained. We actually tried to recruit this twice with the first run falling apart due to people not getting to 80 or not bothering to gear.

My suggestion is to post on wow websites (wowhead, mmochamp) and allow people to server transfer. I was hesitant during the first run to allow this as I didn't want to be responsible for the transfer fee if things fell apart, but this helps tremendously as people who transfer are generally more destined to finish this due to the monetary obligation on their part. The second run was composed of 2 server transfers, 4 friends, and 3 solidly reliable players from our server.

Group Composition
Our group make up was as follows:

DK Tank
Pally Tank (me)
Disc Tank Heals
Pally Tank Heals
Shaman Raid Heals
Destro Lock DPS
BM Hunter DPS
BM Hunter DPS
Arcane Mage DPS
Rogue DPS (unsure of spec)

Arcane Mages at level 80 DESTROY in DPS. He was pulling 11k consistantly. In fact, most of the 80 DPS is so unbalanced these days we had multiple people pulling ~8-9k damage which resulted in only two big bangs. We used cata flasks (mastery + resistance on tanks, stat elixirs on everyone else) and food buffs. Call us cheaters due to that but the real challenge of this title now-a-days is getting 10 80's together and geared for it.

Tips on the fight
I'm not going to go over the entire fight strategy as many people have previously explained it better than I ever could. Here are just some tips from our own run where we were noticing issues:

The biggest challenge we had was the tank swap at 4 stacks. You need to give healers a countdown before the tank transition happens as even with cata pots/flasks/elixirs/food he's going to hit you for a megaton of damage. Additionally, and in case anyone was wondering, you can get the mining perk of 525 for 120 stam. That is a huge bonus and worked really well for us. Same goes for other profession perks, but note that high end BS/Tailor/Leather create bonus adds to armor/weapons that won't work on level 80 items. Again, use a mastery potion (reforge all gear to mastery) and a magic resist potion (helps reduce exploding star damage/cosmic smash) for tanking.

The second biggest issue was Cosmic Smash. It is REALLY hard to see on the ground even with graphics turned to low. If someone has a sharp enough eye let them call out where it is. Having someone count down to when it's going to be cast (via DBM) is also incredibly helpful. It's also very helpful to turn down graphics to low with project textures enabled as this reduces some of the clutter from the floor, enabling you to see the Cosmic Smash a little better.

Finally, the Constellations will close black holes when people run into them. It's important for the off tank to be picking these up as best they can and getting rid of them so they don't end up randomly aggro'ing another member in the run. If they do end up randomly aggro'ing, once Big Bang is cast the player will inevitably run to a black hole and close it due to the Constellation following them. This will cut off access to anyone else who was planning to escape from that same black hole.

Gearing
Save yourself the trouble and do ICC 5 mans for i232 weapons (heroic) and i219 armor. The rest of the slots can be purchased with JP (including two pieces of i226 tier). You *could* run Ulduar 10 man hard/25 man normal over and over but you'll gear much faster through JP/ICCs. ToC 5 man normal still drops the BiS trinket for tanks (The Black Heart) and is worth farming. We weren't in the absolute best gear but the majority of it was i226 and we still rocked Algalon hard. The cata buffs were probably the biggest factor and essentially make up for any less-than-stellar gear that you have on.

If you have any questions feel free to send me a message.

Misc. Thoughts
The last thing I want to mention is make sure to do a gear inspection of the entire raid before starting on Algalon. Ensure the following:
Main Hand, Off Hand, Ranged: i232 MAX
Totem/Libram/Sigil/Armor: i226 MAX

We had everyone take off their tabards and heirlooms just to be safe.

Good luck to anyone attempting this: it's one of the most challenging but awesome things to achieve in this game.

If an 80 groups up with some 85s all of which are in the level appropriate gear, will that 80 still get the title/achievement?

It's specific in that no one that is above level 80 will be eligible for the achievement, but it doesn't say specifically if everyone present for the kill has to be level 80, just that the characters there for the title have to be level 80. If anyone above level 80 is in the group and doesn't ruin everyone's eligibility for the title, he/she can only merely assist the level 80s, and that person will have to wear the appropriate gear.

However, I would be very surprised if it checked every character's item level but did not perform a check and mandate that everyone in the raid be level 80.

Also, as someone has mentioned before, it would likely be quite challenging to do this with one or more characters above 80 (who aren't after the title) because of combat ratings. Algalon, o Observador would count as a level 93 for characters at level 90. For example, it's probably impossible to hit-cap at 90 with the gear available in Ulduar.

I just got the title a few hours ago, here are a few tips to aid groups attempting this achievement as of 4.3:

- You can use LESSER gear, so long as your armor does not exceed an item level of 226. So if you have everything but your neck and shoulders as ilvl 200, for example, you're good so long as you can tank, heal, or dps to the appropriate numbers.
- You CAN use ilvl 232 weapons, only armor must be no higher than 226. I had a 232 wand equipped and still got the title.
- You CAN use Cata food buffs and flasks. I used both and still got the title.

Also, this is NOT an easy fight. Even with Cata scaling and some help from food and flasks we wiped on some of the mechanics before getting the title.

Stick with it and good luck herald-seekers!

With the "Battle.net-account-wide achievements" coming in MoP, does this mean all your toons will have this title (as long as you've got the achievement on 1 toon)?

Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to get this achievement on my main, who is now 85. However, I have a soon-to-be level 80 alt, so I was wondering if I got the achievement on my level 80, will my 85 main also be granted the title when it becomes account-wide in the new xpac?

When I was gearing up my character for Herald, I was surprised there was limited information on Wowhead for gear slots. During my research I came across this website and thought I would share, it has each class/spec best in slow gear for your character.
