Reward should be a flyable Sindragosa

*crosses fingers*

Interesting on how this meta doesn't even require defeating arthas on heroic difficulty, similar to how zero keeper Yogg-Saron and Algalon were not required. I'm hoping it doesn't stay this way, but who knows.

It does, however, require two different achivements for the Arthas encounter (as of November 21, 2009), while all of the other bosses have their hard mode as well as a "fun" achivement. If it stays this way, and as killing Arthas on heroic gives a title, I'd reckon Arthas Hard Mode takes a similar role as Algalon did, in that it's effectively the pinnacle of content and if you can complete the fight (which getting to requires completing Putricide, Blood-Queen and Sindragosa on hard that week, like a disappearing Algalon key) then you should be able to achieve this anyway.

Oh, and there's also another achievement for completing every encounter on heroic mode (Heroic: The Fall of the Lich King), if anyone's curious.

I like the fact that the icon of this achievement is the best pally helm of all time :)

I have been wondering a little. When Ulduar was released, the mount rewards from Glory of the Raider 10 and 25 man were removed. Now, when Icecrown Citadel has been released, the mount rewards from Glory of the Ulduar Raider 10 and 25 man have not been removed and are still available.

Do you need to complete the whole list of achievements in the heroic version of the raid or just the ones that specifically say "Heroic" to get this achievement?

Kommentar von 409340

To answer Gargaron's question, no, you do not have to get the special achievements on heroic. I got (sorry I do not know how to link the actual achievement) on 10-player normal and it listed me as having that requirement completed.

Kommentar von Yndin

It's very nice of Blizzard for finally giving "same" reward for PvE and PvP oriented players. Depending on your realm you should start seeing these this or next week.

Kommentar von Lucero

I tried to find the link to the blue post, but they are on record as saying there are no plans to remove them and if they decide to they will do their best to give players a 30 day notice. I read this blue post myself, I'm not just citing 2nd hand quotes. Sorry I can't find a link to the source. =(

Upon completing this achievement you get a letter of Highlord Darion Mograine with the subject Glory of the Icecrown Raider. This letter includes the Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher and the following text.

Name of the player,

As the Lich King's influence wanes, some
of his more powerful minions have
wrested free of his grasp.

This frost wyrm drake my men captured is a
prime example. She has a will of her own
and then some.

One of my men lost an arm breaking her in,
but she now takes to riders fairly well --
provided they themselves are skilled and
strong willed.

Please accept this magnificent beast as a
gift from the Knights of the Ebon Blade. It
was an honor to fight along your side in
this greatest of battles.

With honor,
Darion Mograine.

A screenshot of the letter can be found here.

on 3/24/10 Blizzard hot fixed this meta so that players do not need Neck-Deep in Vile anymore to get the drake.

This was only applied to the 10 man meta, not the 25 man.

Kommentar von Massacher

so how long does it take to get through all of the Glory of the Icecrown Raider (10 player) raid achievements?

what gear would you recommend for a destro lock to accomplish these achievements?

this is my current gear as of writing.

it's welfare epics along with trash atm but i am working on gearing up.

Kommentar von Lorath

The honest answer is probably months. If you're gunning for the drake, your gear should be your last concern. The majority of the achievements for the meta require FIRST AND FORMOST a great raid composition and coordination. You are just one of ten players. It means squat if you have the best gear in the game if you have three others in the raid that insist on standing in fire/acid/slime for one second too long. Many of the fights require a perfect battle from start to finish to get this.

Take the achievement for example. If you understand the fight mechanics (and you should for ALL fights to begin trying for the drake), you'll know that this is extremely hard for a ranged dps to get. The standard fight strategy has the first bitten be a ranged dps. Then that player bites one other ranged, on the 2nd round of bites the two ranged bite the last two ranged (or 1-2 melee as case may be). 3rd round all dps and healers will be bitten (4 bites x 2 = 8 vampires + 2 non-bitten tanks). The battle must be over before the 4th round of bites. For a dps to get the achievement if they have no off spec role (switching with a healer or tank, which locks can't do), two things must happen: the fight must end before the 3rd round of biting AND one of the players in 2nd round must bite a healer or another dps instead of you. That takes a raid that has the dps, coordination and planning ahead to do this.

My advice: find a good permanent raid group to go with, clear the whole raid including Arthas (necessary for heroic modes anyhow), then practice each fight to perfection. Along the way, you'll get the gear you need to do this. No shortcuts here...

There are guides out there for gearing any class/spec combination. You can even check RAWR to see what gear and enchants/gems are best upgrades for your spec.

P.S. Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to clear up the idea that "LOL I HAS UBER GEAR, THIS'LL BE EASY".

Kommentar von Saltie

All You Can Eat (10 Player) is by far the most annoying of all the achievements. I remember doing my Drake run a month or so ago. It was totaly annoying to get through all of Phase 1 without any problems, and all of a sudden it goes wrong in Phase 2 for silly reasons like people forgetting to reset their stacks. So you gotta wipe it and go again.
However, no with the buff currently standing at 15% this should be a breeze if you have got through the heroic modes of ICC 10. In actual fact, if you have the correct raid composition, you can actualy do most of the achievements on heroic mode instead of normal mode.
From my personal experience, I have to say to anyone that is going for their Drakes to ensure they are stocked up on not just Speed Pots, Flasks, Food and Cash, but stock up on focus. Unlike Glory of the Raider pre-3.1 and the Ulduar Glory achievement, this one can be extended by a week or two purely by a lack of focus, and not Dps, Healing, or Tank messing up.

Having done these achievements a few weeks ago with our heavily overgeared group, I figured I should make a list and quick recap of tactics for each of the individual achievements. All of these were done on Normal mode, except for Gunship.

Hard

All You Can Eat - By far, the most frustrating achievement. We played normally until phase 3, where the second tank would take cover behind the first Ice Block. As soon as his stacks went off he'd run in and taunt, the previous tank would take cover behind the ice block. When this tanks' stacks were gone, he'd shout out to kill the Ice Block and run in and taunt, the other tank going to the next ice block. Repeat. It's mostly a matter of control. We lost this one week because someone lagged and didn't notice he blew the stacks. To combat this, I reccomend the addon Smorgasbord. Just remember to turn it off if you're not doing the achievement or you'll see massive amounts of spam.

Medium

Been Waiting a Long Time for This - Have the first person who gets the plague dispel it outside the group and just stack the remaining diseases. Nothing to hard, per se, but if you skip over 30 (say, having a 29 merge with a 2 giving you 31), you fail it, and it takes a bit of time. Furthermore, if you're short on DPS the Enrage timer might become troublesome.

Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion - Simply don't slow the slimes. If you're not well geared bump this up a bit, as I imagine that, for a non-horribly overgeared group, this one could be pretty painful. The abom still has to eat the goo, but this does give him time to help out with DPS more, hurrying the fight along.

Full House - First, pray to your god of choice to make the RNG kind. This one can be very frustrating if you don't get the right mobs turned. Empowered adherents don't count, by the way, so feel free to kill those. We had a hunter kite the deformed around and our OT simply kept aggro on the other mobs and ran around. This does mean your MT will not have a lot of threat, so be careful. If you feel safe doing it, you could have your OT taunt off aswell, but then you have to make sure no one uses any abilities that deal even incidental AoE damage.

Portal Jockey - Do this with 4 healers, if possible. Send 3 in through the portals everytime. It makes the fight go by faster, though you might have some DPS issues if your group isn't quite that well geared yet.

Dances with Ooozes - I'm not sure how hard this is in a properly geared group. You can either merge 2 small ones into a big one, and merge that with another big one, still only increasing the stack by one, or doing what we did - simply leave everyone out and nuking on the boss, only having an OT ready in case a few melee get it and it grows in size.

Easy

Flu Shot Shortage - Have the first two people who get the debuff run out. Then, the next time, have the peopel that got the first batch run out and everyone should have one stack. Then for the third and final, have everyone clump up. Should someone get the debuff twice in a row, just make sure they run out on the third. This one's a bit RNG, I suppose - I guess there's a chance the same person gets the debuff 3 times in which case, just wipe it up and try again. The damage should be fairly easy to heal through.

Once Bitten, Twicy Shy - Not a very hard achievement, in fact, many will get it incidentally. That said, just arrange bite orders properly and if someone doesn't want to get bit, make sure they don't attack the boss until the first bite's gone out. If you can get her down in Heroic, you should not have any issues with biting the 'wrong' people. Will take more than one run to get, however.

I'm on a Boat - Split the raid into half. We left the cannoners on our ship at all times, so each jumping group consisted of 4 players - though you can arrange 5 peopel to jump, if you so chose. Have the first group jump the first two times, and then the second group the last two. After they land the second time, make sure they stay put on the ship in case there's a fifth freeze. Furthermore, don't have them jump around on the ship - It might count as landing an extra time.

Incidental

These ones you, essentially, get by killing the boss in question normally. If you're capable of doing the heroic modes, you probably have the achievements already. But, in case not...

Boned - Make sure that everyone attacks the bone spikes immedeatly. This can be rough in heroic because of the spikes popping up in the Bone Storm phase aswell, so you might want to do it on normal.

I've Gone and Made a Mess - Avoid the beasts like the plague, and don't stand to clumped up. Getting 3 debuffs is common in the Heroic version of the fight, so again, I advice doing this on normal.

The Orb Whisperer - Make sure that the tank on the Shadow guy has his stacks high, and soak as much as possible of the empower flame orbs when the fire guy has the orb.

Removed

Neck-Deep in Vile - This one's not required for the Meta anymore, and as such I haven't done it. It appearently requires pretty heavy ranged AoE stacking, but I really can't comment. It looks pretty rough, though.

Kommentar von nolervik

Nice list there, Torte. Good job.
We made all of the achievements above on heroic mode, except for professor, sindragos and the lich king ones, so none of them is especially hard. With that said, i mean that if your group is capable of downing the wings on heroic mode, you probably wont have any problems with doing theese achives.

Also, imo, Full House was the most frustrating achivement.

Good luck!
