Also if your killed by an elemental you ascend and become a random elemental that can attack both factions.

I do like this Idea... a lot!

What does the double rainbow mean in the last screenshot?

This still BOOOOOORIIIIIINNNNNG.
Until the Lieutenants steps out, this so called event is just yawn.

very nice. may i have to wait one or two days before i actualy can do this. being on a high population server such quests/events are just a pain in the ass.. :|
the first elemental invasion event quest took me about an hour, just because everyone was camping those hourglasses :<

@Eleveneleven
its just a cutout of a screenshot. look at the second from the left on the bottom. the rainbows are also there (just look near boubs pet)

Just to clarify. This isn't the Elemental Invasion Part 2. This is only Phase 2 which started yesterday November 8 until whenever and is called
Aiding the Earthen Ring. So maybe MMO needs to get their facts right? Considering that the Elemental Invasion Part 2 wont happen until Phase 4.

So, did Bobby Kotick come up with these quests?

The Tablets of the Earth quest stinks of the death knight rescue from the basement plus a sholozar basin daily.

I wish we dont have to w8 +1 week for the next part

I went to SW harbor, talked to the guys saying ill help defending him, and then i cant use the crystal.

I did the quest this morning (Horde) and tamed the fire elementals. NOw I haven't logged in for 2 weeks and I haven't done the FoS with the 4 different elemantal buffs. Now I went looking for them after I finished the quests and guess what. I can't target Fire elementals anymore. Everytime I land besides them they just despawn. Is this a bug, just dumb bad luck or intended?

Anyone had the same issue?

guess no patch this week maybe next week.

It took me 14 mins for my both chars

Is there perhaps an achievement tied to these quests from Phase 2, like the FoS from Phase 1?

Be careful what you wish for.

Deathwing will probably grant it.

bugged now - not spawned for an hour


and i do love the ` omg these are boring` - when 2 years we had the ` OMG these are so hard` with the pre lk event

at least its better than the pre tbc event - stand at dark portal , and aoe - then get into some pvp with everyone else.

BC also included Highlord Kruul and a bunch of demonic minions randomly invading zones/cities.

This "invasion" just isn't very brutal at all...It needs more, uh, zazz!

I really hope there is more to Phase 2, because if that is all we get for this entire week that will be a serious disappointment.

My thoughts exactly :')

No fun for us. More like masturbation fiesta.

Phase 3:
Twilight's Cult (Part II):
After having prevented their assault on Orgrimmar and Stormwind, Garrosh and Varian have decided to take the fight to the enemy. It will be up to you to capture some cultists, learn their rituals, and ultimately disrupt them. Finally you will make an important trip to meet someone in Nagrand and learn further about the elemental invasion.


Phase 4:
Elemental Invasion (Part II):
The denizens of the Elemental Plane have finally mustered enough strength and courage to attack your capital cities. The Horde will have to defend Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff, while the Alliance will need to take care of Ironforge and Stormwind. Every 2-3 hours NPCs in those cities will yell out, informing all players that an invasion is about to begin. This warning will start a 5-minute window, during which players will have to haul sandbags or barricades to locations indicated by red markers. Low-level players will be instructed to take one of the portals in the cities and escape to safety. After all the barricades have been placed, or after 5 minutes have expired (whichever one happens first), the elementals will being their attack.

Before you even being battling the invaders, talk to one of the Earthen Ring Defenders located throughout the cities, and get your Earthen Ring Unbinding Totem - you will need it. The objectives of the event are straight-forward:

*Free all citizens. At the beginning of the invasion, the elementals will trap a number of citizens in every district of the cities. You need to find them and use your Totem to free them. Your UI will indicate how many citizens remain trapped in each district.

*Defeat all elementals. Every rift will spawn exactly 32 elementals. YouR UI will show you how many rifts remain standing in each district. Make a good use of your Totem if a fellow player gets imprisoned.

*Beat the clock. You have one hour to complete all this.

If you succeed at closing at least one of the rifts, all players who participated in the defense will gain a buff appropriate to the type of elementals you just repelled. Also, every city will be attacked only by two types of elementals.

Earth: Attacks Ironforge & Orgrimmar.
Fire: Attacks Ironforge & Orgrimmar.
Water: Attacks Stormwind & Thunder Bluff.
Wind: Attacks Stormwind & Thunder Bluff.

And finally, successfully defending a city will allow you to take the fight to the enemy! A rift will open from the city you just defended to the hideout of a minor elemental lord. You will be able to queue for them through the Dungeon Finder just like you queue for seasonal bosses. All of the elemental bosses drop items of level 251, equivalent to ICC10 loot.
