Quests and Reputation

Gaining Entry

There are three possible ways to enter Molten Core:

• By completing Attunement to the Core and thereafter being ported in by speaking with Lothos Riftwaker.
• By entering the portal in Blackrock Depths.
• Via a warlock’s Ritual of Summoning.

Killing NPCs within Molten Core rewards reputation with Hydraxian Waterlords.

The Hydraxian Waterlords offer a , eventually rewarding Aqual Quintessence, which was at one point required to douse the Runes of the Firelord in order to summon Majordomo Executus and consequently, Ragnaros. Presently, defeating bosses will automatically douse their respective runes.

Goals

Tae’thelan’s stated goals for the Reliquary culminate in a desire to free his people of their magical addiction for good, by using powerful magical artifacts through controlled methods. Though the Sunwell is restored, in essence, it is not a cure for magical addiction — but a constant source of power to keep it in check, as it was since the founding of Quel’Thalas. To truly conquer the elves’ addiction to magic (as both Tae’thelan and Lady Liadrin have gone on record as stating), the elves must conquer the addiction itself as their Sunwell sustains them on this quest.

The Reliquary’s more immediate goals are to amass a vast amount of magical artifacts, wealth and lore, so as to ensure it cannot be used against them.

The Reliquary also owns a physical vault (named the Grand Vault), though its location is a closely-guarded secret which only the highest-ranking members of the organization are privy to. Some believe it is not even on this plane of existence.

The Reliquary may have had a bad name in the past, but they now consider it’s important to maintain appearances and focus on performing acts of heroism from time to time.

Expansion Relevance

With the arrival of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade the popularity of the Molten Core took a turn for the worse, with items available in the expansion superior in quality to that of the Molten Core or any of the other forty player instances at the time. However, frustration with the hours-long instance duration were alleviated, allowing players to power through the Molten Core in record time — trivializing content. New abilities and better gear reduced the numbers of players needed to complete Molten Core from 40 to below 10.

In Wrath Of the Lich King, it is possible for some classes to solo Molten Core. The classes doing this are usually Paladins and Death Knights, but Hunters, Shamans, Warlocks and Warriors have also managed to single-handedly defeat bosses.

Prerequisites and Quests

Some of Ragnaros’ minor minions waiting to welcome you into the Molten Core.

While technically there are no prerequisites to enter Molten Core through its entrance at the bottom of Blackrock Depths, every Core raider will want to complete the Attunement to the Core quest to enable the shortcut at the bottom of Blackrock Mountain. This quest is given at level 55 by Lothos Riftwaker who is located just outside The Quarry, on the way to Blackrock Depths. Once attuned you can access Molten Core by talking to Lothos again. When dead (as ghost) you also have the possibility to jump into the lava near Lothos. This can also be done by living players if they have a way to slow fall, or by jumping first onto the small ledge in the pillar on the right as you enter the main chamber of Blackrock Mountain, healing, then jumping down, back toward the wall of the lava pit, to cover the remaining distance to the platform below.

There are very few quests that involve the Molten Core. The only significant quest chain is the chain, which can be started by a visit to Duke Hydraxis off the coast of Azshara. Completing this quest chain will require killing one of each of the trash mobs in the Core, and then defeating the four Flamewaker bosses in Molten Core (Lucifron, Gehennas, Shazzrah, and Sulfuron Harbinger). In addition, all the trash mobs and bosses in Molten Core provide Hydraxian Waterlord reputation. The final reward options for this quest chain are Tidal Loop or Ocean’s Breeze, both rare rings with high Fire Resistance.

Before Ragnaros can be summoned, the raid must defeat Majordomo Executus. Majordomo Executus will only appear if the raid douses the seven runes that are located near certain bosses in the Molten Core. Prior to Patch 3.0.8, the runes could only be doused with the use of Aqual Quintessence (which can only be acquired by speaking with Duke Hydraxis), or via the use of Eternal Quintessence (usable once per hour, and which can be obtained from Duke Hydraxis when a player reaches Revered status with the Hydraxian Waterlords). With the introduction of Patch 3.0.8, killing the boss that is associated with a rune will now automatically douse the rune.

Raid Mechanics

Molten Core is a raid instance. This means that it is on a strict timer schedule, which resets once a week, and once a character has been «saved to the instance» by killing a boss, that character cannot enter a different instance of Molten Core that week.

Each of the bosses in Molten Core has a very specific loot table, which includes the Tier 1 armor pieces as well as a number of other epic-quality items. In addition, the trash mobs in Molten Core provide Fiery Cores, Lava Cores, and Core Leather, which can be used with recipes earned at high levels of Thorium Brotherhood reputation to craft epic armor and weapons. It is generally the case that a raid progressing through Molten Core will use these Cores to craft Fire Resistance armor, which will allow the melee DPS of the raid to survive the final encounters with Majordomo Executus and Ragnaros.

История

Король Франции Людовик IX купил то, что он считал подлинным Терновым венцом в Константинополе в 1239 году, а отдельные шипы были розданы в качестве подарков последующими французскими королями. Иоанн, герцог Берри (1340–1416), брат французского короля Карла V , приказал сделать этот реликварий для размещения единственного шипа; Вероятно, это было сделано за несколько лет до того, как он заказал свой знаменитый Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry , и через несколько лет после того, как он заказал Королевский золотой кубок , также в Британском музее. Раньше датированный периодом между 1401 и 1410 годами, судя по свидетельствам в книге Джона Черри 2010 года, реликварий теперь считается созданным до 1397 года; судя по использованным геральдическим формам, музей датирует его 1390–1397 гг. Позднее считалось, что реликварий Святой Шиповник принадлежал Людовику I, герцогу Орлеанскому , но все недавние авторы предпочитают его дядю, герцога Берри.

Деталь одного из апостолов (больше реального размера)

Его местонахождение неизвестно до инвентаризации 1544 года, когда он принадлежал императору Священной Римской империи Карлу V , возможно, как наследство его предков, герцогов Валуа Бургундских . Предположительно, он перешел в австрийскую ветвь Габсбургов после смерти Карла V, поскольку он внесен в несколько инвентарных списков Императорской Schatzkammer («сокровищницы») в Вене с 1677 года. Он оставался в Вене до 1860 года, когда он появился на выставке. Через некоторое время после этого он был отправлен на реставрацию Саломону Вейнингеру, торговцу произведениями искусства, имеющему доступ к квалифицированным мастерам, которые тайно изготовили несколько копий. Позже он был осужден за другие подделки и умер в тюрьме в 1879 году, но до сих пор не было известно, что он вернул одну из своих копий реликвария в Императорские коллекции вместо оригинала. Венская семья Ротшильдов купила оригинальный реликварий к 1872 году, не зная о его происхождении ; он был унаследован Фердинандом де Ротшильдом, который переехал в Англию и построил поместье Уоддесдон в Бакингемшире . Один из экземпляров хранился в церковной сокровищнице Императорского Габсбургского двора в Вене , где обман оставался незамеченным в течение нескольких десятилетий.

Оригинальный реликварий попал в Британский музей в рамках завещания Ваддесдон в 1899 году, к тому времени его происхождение было «полностью утеряно», и он был описан как «Испанский, 16 век». Таким образом, его историю пришлось реконструировать с помощью научных исследований; Значение геральдических табличек на основании замка к настоящему времени потеряно как в Лондоне, так и в Вене. Первой публикацией, в которой утверждалось, что лондонский реликварий был записан в более ранние венские инвентарные списки, была статья Джозефа Дестре в 1927 году; этот вопрос не был окончательно решен до 1959 года, когда венская версия была привезена в Лондон для более подробного сравнения. Собравшиеся эксперты из Британского музея, Музея Виктории и Альберта и Художественно-исторического музея в Вене согласились, что лондонский реликварий был оригиналом. Согласно условиям Waddesdon Bequest, реликварий не может покинуть музей; в 2011 году он был исключен из Кливленда и Балтимора выставки « Сокровища небес: святые, реликвии и преданность в средневековой Европе» . Обычно он выставлен в Зале 45, специальной Зале Завещания Уоддесдона, как указано в условиях завещания.

History

Molten Core

The Molten Core was created during the War of the Three Hammers more than 300 years ago. Near the end of the war, Thaurissan, the leader of the Dark Iron Dwarves, sought to summon a powerful fire elemental to defeat the combined forces of the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans. He was more successful than he could have imagined, as he released Ragnaros the Firelord from millennia of captivity under the Redridge Mountains.

Ragnaros destroyed the city of Thaurissan and created the volcano of Blackrock Mountain. He dwells there to this day with his elemental servants and the enslaved remnants of the Dark Iron dwarf clan. The burning lake where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass through.

From World Dungeons on the old WoW site:

The Molten Core lies at the very bottom of Blackrock Depths. It is the heart of Blackrock Mountain and the exact spot where, long ago in a desperate bid to turn the tide of the dwarven civil war, Emperor Thaurissan summoned the elemental Firelord, Ragnaros, into the world. Though the firelord is incapable of straying far from the blazing Core, it is believed that his elemental minions command the Dark Iron dwarves, who are in the midst of creating armies out of living stone. The burning lake where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass through. Chief among Ragnaros’ agents is Majordomo Executus — for this cunning elemental is the only one capable of calling the Firelord from his slumber.

Warrior Tier 1 — Battlegear of Might

• The 3-piece set bonus increases the block value of your shield by 30, which isn’t anything to write home about but, it will give you a little bit of extra mitigation from blocks and provide a small boost to your ‘s damage.
• The 5-piece set bonus gives you a 20% chance to generate 1 rage after being hit which is not very good at all, this truly is just a «bonus» from wearing 5 pieces of the Tier 1 set.
• The 8 set is (as it should) the best of the tier set bonuses with a threat increase to your ability. Unfortunately, you probably won’t find yourself wearing all 8 pieces of Tier 1 set all that often.
