On Black Temple attunement
Black Temple attunement used to be so easy. When it was on Blizzard‘s PTR, it was a simple process of talking to some people and grabbing some free gear. Now that 2.1 is live, however, it’s a whole different process.
According to information we’ve gathered from MMO Champion and World of Raids, we’ve managed to come up with the current status of Black Temple attunement. Namely, who you have to kill and what you have to do. The whole attunement process is being done by the hardcore guilds, so expect some updates to the saga of Black Temple attunement as time goes by.
First off, we have a post from BouBouille of MMO-Champion, which mentions that you have to kill Fathom-Lord Karathress and Al’Ar the Phoenix God before you can move on to the next phase. Arthyn from the Vanquish guild explains:
After killing Karathress, our guild was able to pick up a quest from Seer Olum. He spawned in the spot where Karathress stands. He gives a quest called The Secret Compromised which tells you to go to the Warden’s Cage to talk to Akama. After a cutscene with a conversation between Seer Olum and Akama, Akama talks to Illidan. Illidan then tells Akama to kill Al’ar. Akama then gives you the quest Ruse of the Ashtongue which requires you to kill Al’ar wearing the Ashtongue Cowl. The Ashtongue Cowl gives you the appearance of an Ashtongue while in Tempest Keep. Upon using the Ashtongue Cowl in Tempest Keep, a buff called Ashtongue Ruse is applied to you giving you the appearance of an Ashtongue. The buff lasts through death but is removed when zoning.
The post from World of Raids, on the other hand, explains the events after killing the two bosses. Apparently, you’re going to need some sort of phylactery from Rage Winterchill. You’ll have to venture into the Caverns of Time and go through the Mount Hyjal instance to get to him. Slay him, and the phylactery is yours.
That’s the current status of Black Temple attunement. Rest assured that we’ll update you with more on the questline as we have it.
