Ashes Of Al'ar..

[meroko]

Any healing class with reliable interrupt should be able to solo it (not easy)

Just equip a PVP trinket, spread the advisors throughout the entrance (first 2 at beginning, caster in al'ars room, and engineer at front of lootreavers room) After that kill weapons (super easy) and loot any legendary that might be helpful (I loot none as a ret paladin)

All Advisors at once: Kill engineeer, by the time he dies, caster will show up (always use trinket to remove her disorient) then kill sanguinar and then thaladred (cause he walks slow)

Once they go down Kael comes running to you, (you should meet close to the entrance that is blocked off) at this point trinket should be up, use trinket to remove the disruption if you can't use the legendary staff and blow all CDs and get him to 50%. Interrupt all fireballs you can and pyroblast (you can eat a few at 85 no problem but be careful) You will have to self heal a lot so be careful on mana as a dps.

Once you get him to 50% it is over, if you die at that point I would laugh. Just burn at a small distance so the orbs dont' touch you, interrupt fireballs and win.

Thinking about youtubing this so people are not so scared to do it. You probably will wipe some to get used to what to do and what CDs to use but overall it becomes easy and oneshottable after you learn what you need to do.

I was running weekly for this mount week after week since my dk hit 80 in the early days of wotlk. Never saw it drop till last month, and lately I was stating in my trade spam that "mount will be bought for 100k gold", but since Cataclysm, this boss is no challenge at all even for a 2 or 3 man group, so the week it dropped I had decided to lower the gold to 50k. As magic works, I only spent 50k on this mount, which I consider the best flying mount in the game even today.

it happened in mannoroth.

Got it after 4 solo runs (lol) back when it was still a bit challenging for dks to solo. Can't say I like it much since it's just a re-skinned Hippogryph. Probably used it twice the whole time I've had it.

I 2-manned TK with a guildie who doesn't care about the mount. He's done with one other person from our guild. 2 Kael'thas kills = 2 Ashes of Al'ar

[Kaiuri]

My warlock has seen 4 drop from TBC to now. Probably about 110 runs.

Ashes is one thing. Shadowfang for 200g? Lucky man.

[Deepsidedj]

I hosted my own runs for 8 times, nothing dropped so i stopped doing it. One day another guy was hosting it so i joined. Boom it droped, lost it but i payed 50k for it. The guy that won it was a noob so when he got the 50k he was like "OMG SO MUCH GOLD THANK YOU SO MUCH" and then he gone right into AH and bought Mekgineer Chopper (I saw achiev!) hahahaha..... proof http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...psidedj/simple

you can easily solo that as a hunter, rogue and dk, otherwise, run with 2-3 people OP.

Been farming it with a guildie of mine for a long time, 2man. Guildie goes on vacation, I decide I join a pug run (6ish ppl), to not waste the reset. Drops, I lose the roll to some freshly dinged player. Weeks after we continue our farming, till he again goes to some worktrip/vacation thingie. I decide to continue my efforts to solo it, after an hour of trying I get my first solo kill, and the mount!

Continued runs with my guildy and 3 weeks after it dropped for him aswell.

Basicly with mounts becoming account bound, you can just farm it on several chars, dont give up, eventually it will drop!

[Angry]

Seen it drop 3 times. Once on my DK alt while helping a guildie, once on my shaman for me and then again, that same week as I got it on my shaman, it dropped on my DK alt again while helping a guildie.

Good luck farming

[Draenox]

Feel for you, I have seen the mount drop once as well, and there I lost the roll to a friend who always wins every roll he ever does on such things like that. This thread inspired my to start doing it again though.

And really, 100k for Shadowfang? Still? I thought it's price plummeted when the heirloom weapons got out since they're about the same stat-wise.

Retri paladins can do it aswell, and probably warriors

Seeing the ashes drop is like winning the lottery. Can you win the lottery twice? I guess, but you get my point.

And for the record I talk from experience, lost the ashes after many many runs back in WLK, haven't seen em since and you can rest assured it's not from lack of trying.

Seeing ashes drop is not like winning the lottery. I wish I had a 1% chance to win the lottery every week. Because I would have won the lottery 3 times.
