Vídeo Tutorial Como Pegar Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso- Full HD.

http://youtu.be/j2d2zuDtAPQ

O Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso é uma rara montaria, que você tem 0.8% chance de dropar ela no primeiro Boss da raid de Karazan, que fica na Trilha do Vento Morto nos Reinos do Leste.

Você pode fazer a raid com vários personagens para aumentar as chances de drop, afinal qualquer classe com nível 80+ conseguem solar essa masmorra, (mesmo os healers).

Espero que gostem.

Atenciosamente,

Thor@Azralon

Para conseguir esse transmog Rifle Matador de Lobo e ainda de quebra tentar o drop de uma montaria e um pet aconselho:

1: Entrar em Karazhan que fica em Trilha do Vento Morto
2. Seguir pela via principal, entrar no estabulo matar o boss Attumen, o Caçador o qual tem chance de 0.9% de drop Rédeas do Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso
3. No estabulo ainda tem uma escada suba, ao terminar a escada siga a esquerda ate entrar em uma cozinha e depois em um salão ali se encontra o Boss Morores, é necessário mata-lo para liberar o boss da opera.
4. Apos matar Moroes siga pelos salões ate encontrar um palco, agora passe por baixo e por traz do palco, converse com um npc na porta para entrar no palco.
5. Agora existem 3 peças randômicas no Evento da Opera que podem vir quando você fizer esta raid: Chapeuzinho vermelho, Romeu e Julieta e O Mágico de Oz.
6. Somente o evento do Chapeuzinho vermelho vc encontrara Lobo Mau que dropa a Rifle Matador de Lobo e o pet

Espero que ajude... ^^

Pra chegar em Karazhan, pega o zeppelin com Odete Cobrafrete em Orgrimmar para Selva do Espinhaço. De la, voe para Trilha do Vento Morto que fica entre Floresta do Crepúsculo e Pântano das Mágoas no mapa.

Se preferir pode pegar o taxi com Mestre de Mantícoras Thysta e voar para Pântano das Mágoas. Mas voando em sua propria montaria seria mais rapido.

The quest line to enter Karazhan starts here: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9824

Comentado por 18839

Karazhan (lvl 68 requirement)
Karazhan is one of the high end dungeons in The Burning Crusade & can be found in Deadwind Pass (in Azeroth).

Part 1 :
- Arcane Disturbances: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9824
Use the Violet Scrying Crystal near underground sources of water in the Master's Cellar and return to Archmage Alturus outside of Dalaran.
=> The pond and the well are found inside The Master's Cellar. There are two entrances to the cellar, both are found right next to eachother at (48, 78). One of them leads to the pond, and the other leads to the well.
- Restless Activity: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9825
Bring 10 Ghostly Essences to Archmage Alturus outside of Karazhan.
=> The essences are found off of ghosts inside The Master's Cellar. There are two entrances to the cellar, both are found right next to eachother at (48, 78).

Part 2 :
- Contact from Dalaran: (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9826)
This report details my findings. Take it to Archmage Cedric, also from the Violet Eye; you will find him in the outskirts of Dalaran.
=> He can be found just north from Dalaran (15,54).
- Khadgar: (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9829)
Deliver Alturus's Report to Khadgar in Shattrath City in Terokkar Forest.
=> He can be found in the center of Shattrath City (54, 44).

Part 3 :
- Entry Into Karazhan: (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9831)
Khadgar wants you to enter the Shadow Labyrinth at Auchindoun and retrieve the First Key Fragment from an Arcane Container hidden there.
=> Can be found in 'The Screaming Hall' on the left of Murmur in an Arcane Container.
- The Second and Third Fragments (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9832)
Obtain the Second Key Fragment from an Arcane Container inside Coilfang Reservoir and the Third Key Fragment from an Arcane Container inside Tempest Keep. Return to Khadgar in Shattrath City after you've completed this task.
=> The second key fragment is in the steamvaults, in the water next to the first boss, just dive in and its on the bottom.
=> The third key fragment drops in Arcatraz, it can be found in the corner of the room after the first boss)

Part 4 :
Complete CoT: Black Morras
(You have to finish CoT: Old Hillsbrad Foothills to attune yourself for Black Morras)

Before you can kill Nightbane you must do the Medvih's Journal quest line http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9630 . The quickest way to do this is by killing Moroes>Opera>Curator>Shade and skipping the other bosses. Once you have the book from the Shade you then have to kill the first boss in Shattered Halls(heroic) and the first boss in Sethekk Halls(heroic) http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9637 . Then you can summon Nightbane on the Masters Terrace which is very close when you zone in through the side entrance. On a side note you must kill Moroes to start the Opera and you must complete the Opera to open the side door, also killing the Shade will allow you to teleport to the Shades room via an NPC outside the entrance.

I was in Kara last night and noticed something about the opera event. While our group leader was explaining the strategy for each of the possible boss situations, I was reading the chat log, and noticed the NPC stagehands were giving clues about which boss we were about to fight. For example one said something about "It looks like it's time to update the sets for the Oz scene" and another mentioned something about the big bad witch. So, if you're standing outside of the stage door, wait a bit, and you might get a clue as to what you're about to fight.

The difficulty of the The Big Bad Wolf opera encounter has been seriously increased in the last week or so. He now stuns, walks through scenery, cuts corners etc. We've downed him many times without difficulty, but needed four attempts this week. Victory seemed lucky in the end.

Whats the Sergeant's Quarters? There is a locked door going to it from the Livery Stables which is above Auttamen's room. (When you get close to the door it says your in The Guardhouse) Just wondering what it is and how you get the key. Been very curious about this for a long long time.

I have finally managed to count the reputation gain and I can say that full Karazhan run with all bosses killed yields approx. 6.5k reputation with The Violet Eye.
(We have skipped a bit of thresh though, if you're aimed to max. rep gain it should be around 6.7-6.8k)

Doing a full-clear of Karazhan will not only grant you epics, but 22 Badge of Justice as well.

Comentado por Morthred

The item 6 in the Attunement list is a bit incorrect.

Kadghar sends you to Medivh to reforge his key, but instead, after you complete the Black Morass event, Medivh will tell you that the key was meant to be given to Kadghar and Kadghar alone, and then he gives you his very own key, hence the name "The Master's Key".

When you return to Kadghar in Shat'trah he will be amazed by your story and will send you back to Karazhan, where you will pick up the first raid quest from there.

Comentado por 46812

For patch 2.4. you do not need to do any quest to be able to enter Karazhan.
To open the door, however, you will still need the key, so it is enough, if just one member of the raid did the quest chain for the key.

Certain races do not need the key to enter Karazhan. There is an easter egg that allows you to get undereath Karazhan, and besides a /very/ strange.. well let's say decoration down there, you will also find that you can actually go through the instance portal "from behind".

For any info on how to get there, just youtube "Under Kara" and it'll pop up.

Undeads and Tauren can't get there, that much i know. Belf females can. So basically you need to be skinny to drop through the crack.

Incorrect. I attempted to summon inside Arc and it told me I was unable to use the spell. Arc is still in Netherstorm, and ALL of Netherstorm is void of summons with the exception of the summoning stone.

How many healers(how many priests and how many pala), how many tanks, droods, shamans, mages,locks, rogues ....
basicaly i wanna see something like :
2 priests
2 pala
2 warriors tank
4 locks

or something like this :D

As a mage, I found out that it is possible to infact blink through the gate straight into the instance. Therefor, there is no need for anyone in the raid group to have the key, if you have a mage that is. Although, it's most likely that someone in your raid will have the key anyway. Just a little handy hint though =)

To get in, you need to stand right up at the game, (hug it) and simply blink, you get be sent straight to the kara loading screen. and poof, you're in!

Karazhan is a very large and interesting instance. I recommend while after chess to take a stroll to the left and check out Medivh's quarters. Most people have only ever seen the places where you actually go to kill the bosses.

You are free to explore a few hours after the instance is cleared, as all mobs will despawn. This is also a good time to turn in quests to talk to NPC's around the instance as most groups nowadays don't want to clear the way to them.

I seem to have found a small glitch. It's pretty irrelevant, but when you look at the Karazhan page for the raid itself, the Opera House event is before the Maiden. When you look at one of the boss encounters' pages, it places the Maiden before the Opera House. Nothing serious, I just noticed.

Karazhan Druid Tanking Loot Guide

If you are a druid tank, it should be noted that there is not a whole lot of leather tanking gear in any of the lvl 70 raid instances. Your best bet is to get PVP/Arena gear. Druids are lucky in that PVP gear is quite viable for raid tanking, since reaching crit immunity through resilience is cheaper in the general stats budget than is Defense (which doesn't give us parry or block, only dodge). Now that Season 4 is out, it's not hard to get S2 and S3 pieces that are as good or better than Kara-level items anyway. There are a few good Leatherworking items to be had too, if that is an option for you. Karazhan ends up being a great place to farm lots of badges, with which you buy one of the numerous great tanking leather pieces. However, there are a number of worthy tanking items in Kara, even if there is little leather:

Zierhut's Lost Treads -- rather mediocre for tanking -- basically DPS boots with some extra armor
Shermanar Great-Ring -- great until you can buy better with badges or your Violet Eye tanking ring is upgraded
Gilded Thorium Cloak
Barbed Choker of Discipline -- awesome necklace that you'll keep for a long time
Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch -- very nice for that "oh crap, I'm about to die" moment
Gauntlets of Malorne
Stag-Helm of Malorne

There is an ample number of DPS/kitty gear in Kara. The two T4 pieces listed above are excellent for cat DPS because of the set bonus: more energy means more combo moves! A lot of ferals will gem/enchant these two pieces in some way as to make them viable for both Tanking and DPS. One issue to consider when tanking Karazhan is those raid groups who give loot priority to "on spec" players (the item matches your talent tree spec) over "off-spec" players -- many people think that if you're tanking, DPS gear is off-spec for you, so they give priority to rogues. If they pull that, tell them that the beauty of a druid tank is your ability to switch gear and go DPS for mobs/bosses that don't need two tanks (Maiden, Big Bad Wolf, Shade of Aran, Prince, Nightbane).

Comentado por 64664

So far we did a part of this tonight with 4 guildmembers.
1 Protection Paladin level 80
1 Arcane Mage level 74
1 Restoration Shaman level 74
1 Beastmaster/Marksmanship Hunter level 77
None of us was 'specially' geared apart from Northrend gear and some had a couple of PvP items.
For some it was the first time enter Karazhan.

We downed Midnight and Attumen without any troubles. Paladin just tanked both.

Moroes was a bit harder.
Paladin tanked Moroes and his 4 adds. We killed the adds asap. Went down pretty fast.
Moroes' Garotte was pretty annoying. I healed right through it so mana was a bit worrying at times.
We didn't know if we could cleanse it, or we didn't care just wanted to down him. Anyway, totally possible without cleansing it.

Went on to Maiden of Virtue. She was pretty hard due to her holy fire that hits for about 2k a tick.
Dropping Grounding Totems helped to avoid it.
Keeping the tank up all the times wasn't that hard. Never got close to dying even when she casted sleeping spells on the healer.

Athe Opera Event we had to kill Romulo and Julianne.
We wiped at this one. We didn't had enough interupt spells to make her stop healing herself. We tried it two times, the first time we kept on fighting for about 10 minutes till we died. The second time it seemed harder. Julianne used holy light that also ticks for about 2k. Pretty annoying. If we had just one more dps with interupt it would be totally duable.

Not really a feat, and not looking for bragging rights... but if anyone is interested in running KZ at higher levels, a group of 5 lvl 75 with green/blue gear had no problem cleaning most of the place.

Level 76 paladin tank knew some of the fights and tricks necessary to beat encoutners, the rest (heal-priest 75, warrior dps 74 warlock 74 and hunter 75) had never set foot in the instance.

We skipped Netherspite as we figured it would be too tricky without at least 2 people per position.

Mana was an issue for the healer several time and DPSers died often towards the end of some of the bosses just so the mana could go to the tank.

Half the items we had were dezed, but quite a few were upgrades. A good, balanced group of 73-74 would probably have a good time and see a lot of minor upgrades. 75/76 was a level or two too late loot-wise.

Some races can't fit through the hole...and...this reminds me of the Crypt. Now, this bug has been fixed, but you used to be able to be able to get feared in. (Or poly'd but haven't tried, and bug is broken :() but it has an ante room, and splits off. There is a deep watery pit, an underwater section with a bunch of floating bodies hanging by their toes. A couple portcullis's and odds and ends. No enemies in there. My GM called a guild meeting in there lol. We were in the Magical Playpen of Doom, as he called one pit. No longer works, but was reaaaaaaaaaaaally cool.

Ran this a few nights ago, the summon stone can summon 80 had 5 in our group and myself lvl 72 and a 75 summoned everyone. Did full boss run in about 3 hours not bad, this was my first run through here since it has been nerfed, last run was back in 2.4 so yea its been a while. But over all good run had two healers and 1 tank and rest DPS, took us three times to clear past chess game, and something we ran into after you complete the chess game we went on and we not able to attack the mobs in next room behind the door, almost had full wipe until I ran up and reset the game then we could attack, just something to think about if that comes up for you.

I've just soloed Karazhan as a protection paladin (lv200-226 gear). I've completed all bosses except Netherspite, who doesn't seem to be able to be taken down by a single person only.

I was lucky enough to meet wizard of Oz encounter at Opera, in my opinion that's the easiest opera fight for a tank to solo. Just go for Dorothy first, the others will be taken down by the aoe soon enough :)

Chess took many tries to learn which pieces I had to move in order to win. But it's doable solo, if you're patient.

Only boss that posed a real difficulty, and had me use all my cd's, ardent defender, and so on, was Shade of Aran. Especially at the phase where he summons the 4 water elementals. I had frost resist aura on for that encounter.

All the other bosses, Prince and Nightbane included, were just a matter of patience from my side, until I dps'ed them down. No real threats.

Karazhan soloed, wow... I'd never expected that this thing could be done a few months ago!

All you who are interested in soloing, try it! It's doable! Happy hunting :)

Agathoklis, Protection Paladin, Scarshield Legion EU

EDIT: I soloed Netherspite too... the trick, as others have posted, is to pull him outside of his room. And fight him with your back against the wall, because he throws you back at times.

Another 80 prot paladin here saying this can be soloed.

Very easy fights are The huntsman, Maiden, Moroes, and Illhoof. For some reason Illhoof never used chains on me. I never remembered if he use that on tanks or not.

Hard fights were Curator (make sure to kill adds), Aran (I went holy for this fight as you don't really tank him much anyway and i got killed fast as prot, one issue is dps he has a enrage timer), and Opera. Opera would have been easy with romeo and juliet or Oz, but i got The big bad wolf. I spend 80% of the fight running around the edges as little red riding hood. Another 10% of the time i was either stunned or feared. That gave me the last 10% to do as much dps and healing as i could do. He hit me for about 3k damage in red riding hood form, as well as the transformation silencing me for the duration. Bubble can be used to prevent transformation. I pulled out all the stops to stay alive, bubble, lay on hands, and had ardent defender proc 3 times during the fight.

will update for other bosses as i down them this week.

Comentado por PilsnerDk

Just managed to solo the whole place, all bosses, as a paladin. My gear consists of epics ilvl 219-226, with a few 200 and a few 245.

The trick to making it easy is to NOT spec full protection. Full protection is an awful spec for soloing, because it's completely unsustainable. Once your health drops down, you only have a few one-trick ponies such as LoH, Argent Defender, a healing potion, and the almost-not-worth it Divine Shield and blowing your entire mana bar on healing yourself for 10k. After those are blown, you're slowly dying with no way to heal yourself.

0/27/44 is much, much better. It goes down in ret in order to pick up AoW, JotW and Sheath of Light, which together give you the precious insta-cast FoL's that heal for a decent amount. Furthermore, I pick up Crusader Strike and all the +crit talents, as it's vital to be able to get those AoW procs.

Gear is basically as ret - full str, crit, etc. Don't equip tank gear as you'll lose much needed crit rating. The beauty of this build is that you can swap out the following, depending on how defensive or offensive you need to be:

Weapon: Sword (as low delay as possible, for more crits) +Shield for defense, 2H for offense.
Blessing: BoSanct for defense, BoM for offense.
Seal: Seal of Light for defense, SoV for offense.

For the majority of fights, go "defensive mode" to make it a breeze. Remember to buff talented Righteous Fury, and on tough fights, it's simply a matter of discipline - every time your health dips below 90%, use an insta-cast FoL.

The toughest guy in there was definitely the Opera event, with the Wizard of Oz. That event is pretty much impossible as 51 ret with 2H, so it forced me to research a new spec. With this build though, I was in complete control and didn't even use LoH. Second toughest was Prince, but even he wasn't very tough. Chess is annoying since it's a matter of being lucky.

A little rundown of the bosses:

* Attumen: Easy, tank and spank.

* Moroes: Turn Evil the shadow priest (Baroness Dorothea Millstipe) if she's up - and keep her feared, otherwise her mana burn will take a huge chunk of your mana. If she's not up, fear the annoying paladin (Lady Keira Berrybuck) or whoever is giving you the most trouble. Watch where she goes, and every time she returns to you, throw a new fear on her. Otherwise, just go to town on the adds and kill Moroes himself afterwards.

* Maiden: Easy, walk up and kill her. Did her as retribution.

* Opera Event: As mentioned, a tough one.

- Wiz of Oz: Use Frost Aura, and kill Dorothee first. Open up on Dorothee with SoV and AW to burn her while the other mobs are still inactive. After about 15-20 seconds, switch to SoL. Kill her, then Roar, then the rest are easy. Crone is easy. An overall tough fight until Dorothee is down.
- The Big Bad Wolf: I used my hybrid spec for him, but I think full ret might be a bit faster. Every time he LRRH's you, ruuuuuun like a headless chicken around the stage. When it runs out, dps him and top yourself off, along with a fresh Sacred Shield. Also a tough fight.
- Romulo and Julianne - probably impossible to solo :(. This forces you to wait for a reset and try again. Bummer.

* Curator: Also very easy, kill sparks as they appear. When he evocates (+200% damage taken); switch to 2H and burn him down while he has the debuff to speed things up a bit.

* Chess Event: I got lucky and somehow the other team's king got down to 50% somehow, without be controlling any pieces to damage him. I took control of my king and burned him donw. Took 4 tries one time, 1 try another time. A good tip is to move the conjurer forward a bit so you can nuke the other team's king with him, then when their king is down to around 50%, move ahead with your king and bash him down.

* Illhoof: The "Legacy of the Mountain King" book from the tomes is extremely good here, as it has a chance to proc +100 to all resists, and stacks twice. Ignore all the imps, put on fire resistance aura and coupled with the resist proc from the book, you'll take virtually no damage.

* Shade of Aran: Full retribution spec for this guy. Super easy, just burn him down. You can put on a resistance aura, either frost or fire helps a little. When the water elementals pop, use Divine Shield so they come to you, then kill them.

* Netherspite: Pull him out of his room (you can just make it with a 30-yard range spell) before the door closes, and he'll come for you. Fight him in the room just outside and burn him down. He still empowers (+200% damage), which makes him hit pretty hard, but doesn't get the beams when he isn't in his room, so you just have the Netherbreath (often resisted) and void zones to worry about.

* Nightbane: Easy, just takes a long time. Beware that you don't pull him too far down the balcony, he bugged out on me once and just flew away.

* Prince. A bit tough. He hits pretty hard in phase 2 and 3, but as long as you constantly keep your health up, and move out of the hellfire from demons (or get lucky and dont' have to move much), its not bad.

Good luck to other soloers! :)

Solo'd all of Karazhan (except for netherspite/nightbane) fairly easily as a Blood DK.

Was using tank gear + frost presence for all of it except for Attumen. Much of it could be done in dps gear, but I just wanted to be safe. My dps gear is ICC10 quality, tank gear is t9/toc10. All of this was done in my dps blood spec.

Attumen, simple just death strike as always for heals...kill midnight first. I did this in dps gear using frost presence.

Moroes, kill healers first, defensive cooldowns at start...was very easy

Maiden, nothing to it.

For Opera I got the Oz event, was quite easy. I was unsure how the fight worked, had been so long since I did it. So I didn't have a kill order. I'd suggest killing Dorothy first then pick for yourself. Once The Crone spawns, simply avoid tornadoes. Use any pots or defensive cooldowns you have near the start. Lots of incoming damage in the beginning.

The only fight that gave me some trouble was Curator. He is immune to all your diseases meaning you can not death strike for heals. So you'll need to put diseases on the sparks that spawn and death strike them to survive. Go all out on him when he evocates, and use any defensive cooldowns + AoTD on his enrage at the end.

Chess for me was just sort of luck. Failed 3x before i won. I'd move a couple grunts out front to give the King room to move for when Medivh cheats and puts fire under your feet. When I won the Ally king came my way and didn't even attack me too much, was able to burn him down with 2k hp left.

Illhoof was easy. Use Pestilence to kill imps with your disease. If your dps isn't good enough switch and kill some, don't let them stack up too much. Kill the little named imp whenever he is up.

Shade was also very easy. Interrupt whenever you can, don't go into blizzard, run out when he arcane explodes. Kill water elementals when they spawn, they die fast.

Prince was very easy, keep your hp high....watch out for infernals. I didn't take too much damage with my gear so it was pretty simple.

Not bad money for running it all. Roughly 40g per boss + the epics and trash greens.

Comentado por 48293

To the level 80 players out there: Three players are more than adequate to clear the entire zone. We brought a frost spec DK for a tank, a holy priest for healing and an assassination rogue for DPS. We encountered very few difficulties. Of note for a three man attempt:

Terestian Illhoof will sacrifice one player, and if it is your healer it could mean problems. This can be remedied by the healer keeping HoTs on themself. If a priest, I suggest keeping prayer of mending out in the party so it jumps back during the sacrifice.

Netherspite only requires some coordination. Simply assign two colors to each person and have them switch. A rogue was able to tank easily in the red beam.

Otherwise, all of the other bosses were defeated by a simple tank and spank and if there was some sort of add that threatened the healer, then the DPS took care of it easily.

Hope this helps.

Comentado por 106006

early march 2010, took a 78 prot pally (~22k health buffed, 5.3% crit reduction, just short of the cap) in to see what could be solo'd. The last time I was in kara was pre-3.0.2, so I had these memories (erroneous?) of 80k health spectral horses 2-shotting me in mail gear. I also had tanked the entire raid a few times on a diff. pally. One of the first things I noticed was the spectral ponies are now in the 30k hp range, and they hit like BC lvl 70 non-heroic instance mobs.

Inside the instance alone (the other raid member not online), I still got xp from mobs within my xp range (70+).

Even accounting for my lvl diff., it seems kara trash has been nerfed to below bc heroic 5-man levels. I cleared attumen, moroes, and maiden, all one-shots. Attumen was hard due to the 50% hit reduction debuff, at times divine plea (only 1 point in the talent) didn't refresh. Maiden wasn't hard at all, and moroes' garrote, the bane of bc raids early on, I just JoL/SoL'd through. I used SoL for attumen and maiden all the way through, don't recall if I used SoC while moroes had adds up.

Trash was so soft-hitting that I ended up chain pulling 5-6 horses/handlers at a time, ditto the rest of the cleared trash areas EXCEPT the demons in the hallway leading to maiden, which killed me when I took 4 on.

I was unable to down the servant quarters spider boss, and got BBW for opera, which was a no-go.

Re the kara trash, I did arca heroic later and had vastly more trouble there than I did at any point in the kara run, so based on this (and that bc heroic mobs didn't have their damage reduced en masse like raids did), it seems kara has been nerfed into the ground.

This is the best raid ever! It has some odd significance, nostalgia, and great loot too!

Comentado por 258919

After running it with some friends (the number fluctuated but at most we had 4 80s, one being a tank and one being a healer), I found this to be quite an amazing raid.

The atmosphere itself is unique. It's the only true "haunted house" in Warcraft. Combine the magnitude of the scenery with the characters involved (Moroes FTW) with the events that occur (the opera, the dinner, chess) and also with the music that plays in the background and you have yourself one helluva raid. While it is easy to get lost in this place, even getting lost is worth it since you get to see things you would never find in another instance. Not to mention, the entire instance is floating between two dimensions - the real world, where it exists in Deadwind, and some form of the Twisting Nether, where the tower itself is shattered to pieces.

The boss fights, due to the fact that it is a level 70 10m and has been greatly nerfed, are cake. The only events that gave us remote trouble were Netherspite (the portal phase can get a tad bit confusing but chances are you'll have the boss dead before it gets out of hand) and the Chess Event (mainly due to the fact that it was created for 10 players). Still, I eventually managed to two-man the Chess Event through a mixture of luck and frantic piece changing, and all that was left was the Prince, who isn't much trouble at all if you tank him in the doorway, where infernals don't spawn.

Overall, an outstanding piece of work by Blizzard. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of the raid is hard to recreate without exactly copying aspects of it (primarily, the whole idea of a "haunted house" being a raid was genious), but if you haven't run it before then grab a few 80 friends and go for it. I wouldn't pug it or anything because the last thing you want is to be stuck with people who care so much about the achievement that they don't enjoy the raid and ragequit if you get lost or lose the chess event.

Possibly the nerdiest post I've ever created, but I feel justified in doing so.

Finished soloing it a little bit ago as a Combat rogue. Took just over an hour.

Notes: I sustained around 9.5k DPS on most of the fights. The exception where I was lower than that was Aran, where I had to put on Frost Resist gear and spend a decent amount of energy on Kick which brought that down to about 7.5k.

Consumables used: Flask of Endless Rage, Runic Healing Injector, Indestructible Potion (as a prepot on physical damage bosses), Runescroll of Fortitude, Drums of Forgotten Kings.

Unbuffed stats: 33954 health, 13658 armor, 52.99% dodge, 6533 AP, 1068 Haste, 651 hit, 746 crit, 200 expertise. 2457 Agility, 2653 Stamina.

Talents: Improved Recuperate and Reinforced Leather are a must. Aside from that, I used a standard raiding spec.

Glyphs: Use Major Glyphs of Blade Flurry, Feint, and Sprint, though Cloak of Shadows and Evasion are also options if you're having trouble with physical damage killing you. Prime Glyphs should be Sinister Strike, Adrenaline Rush, and Slice and Dice optimally; Killing Spree is an option over Slice and Dice for burst fights like Aran.

Enchants: I used optimal raiding enchants. Nearly every piece of gear was reforged, dropping crit in favor of haste or hit.

Method: Recuperate is your best friend. It's more important than Slice and Dice for this. Injectors should be used when you're down roughly the amount of health it will restore. Evasion, when not noted, is used to catch up on healing. DPS cooldowns should be burned when they will yield the highest increase in damage unless otherwise noted.

Boss Rundowns
Attumen: This one's pretty simple. Clear out the trash and burn him. Cloak of Shadows the -hit debuff if you get it, and Dismantle Attumen to reduce incoming damage.

: Pull from behind so as to avoid socially aggroing trash, and pop Blade Flurry and Killing Spree off the start. Evasioning early while the adds are still up is also a good idea. When Moroes Vanishes (if he lives that long), take that opportunity to burn the remaining adds.

Maiden of Virtue: Hit her. She dies. Kinda like Attumen. Feint on Cooldown if you have it glyphed, but it's not a big deal really.

Opera Event:
Oz: I haven't gotten this one since 4.0.1, but pre-patch it was a simple priority of who to burn down. Dorothy is obviously first because of the Frostbolt spam, followed by the Lion to remove his fear. Beyond that, it's a fairly simple ordeal to finish off the fight.

Romulo and Jullianne: Make sure to kick all of Julianne's Eternal Affection casts. Save all cooldowns (Evasion, Adrenaline Rush, Killing Spree, and Blade Flurry) for phase 3, as it's the only one where you'll really take damage. After burning both down solo, Blade Flurry and Killing Spree to open in phase 3, following Killing Spree with Adrenaline Rush. Alternatively you can BF and AR, while saving KS for finishing the second one off in event one of them dies much faster than the other. Continue to kick Eternal Affection, and Cloak when possible to mitigate some of Julianne's outgoing damage.

Big Bad Wolf: Again, I haven't gotten this one since 4.0.1, but I was unable to solo it before the patch as well. I'll update with information when I get this encounter.

Nightbane: Glyph of Feint and Feinting on cooldown is a big help. Don't stand in Charred Earth. Right before the air phases (75%, 50%, and 25%), refresh Recuperate and get 4-5 CPs back up on him. Refresh Recuperate with these points when the adds begin spawning. Blade Flurry the adds, and refresh Recuperate if it gets low, 1-2 points is fine. Use Evasion during ground phases to play catch up on healing if he gets you down to about 50%.

Curator: I'll be honest, I pulled him by accident this week. I learned from that, though, that you can stealth by and pull him from behind while he's on the ramp without also getting any trash. Save Evasion for his hard enrage at 15%. Use cooldowns to burn him, and Blade Flurry the sparks. Rarely should you have to target swap to kill a spark. Cloak when available (preferably while a spark is up). This fight gets close, mostly because of the Arcane Bolt.

Illhoof: Again, heavy magic damage causes problems here. Not as bad as Aran, but your health will still dip lower than most of the other fights. Open with Blade Flurry to take down his Imp and get the increased damage on him, then burn his health with cooldowns. Take out the little Imps from time to time with a few Fans of Knives.

Aran: This is the big guy, the hardest fight in the instance for us. Glyph of Kick is pretty much required, as is 170+ Frost Resist. Kick anything you can that's not a Frostbolt, first of all. Try to save Cloak for 40% when the adds spawn. Burn your AR around 50% so you can be ready to push him down ASAP. Get an Expose up before the adds spawn if you don't normally keep it up anyway. Keep him in the middle of the room to avoid bouncing to the adds and pop Killing Spree while continuing to burn him. Cloak a volley of Water Bolts from the adds, and Vanish another (if you Vanish and immediately attack Aran he will not reset). Pray he dies before the Water Bolts overwhelm you.

Netherspite: Little tricky with this one. Wait for him to patrol close to his door and pull him from range while sprinting out the door. I found, as an engineer, that throwing a Saronite Bomb worked best for this as the travel time gave me an extra moment or two before the door closed. Now, he will hit like a truck because of the Empowered buff. Feint on cooldown to reduce damage from his aura, as well as his breath during phase 2. It's largely a battle of surviving only until phase 2, at which point you put your back to a wall and burn him with everything you've got. Cloak is exceptionally effective during phase 2.

I'm interested to see if this can be done without exploiting the fight, and that's something I'll experiment with in the coming weeks.

Chess Event: This was soloable at 70 by anyone, nothing new here. It may take a couple of tries to get the hang of if you've never done it before. If you use an addon for buffs, also, have "/cancelaura Control Piece" ready to get out of pieces as you cannot click off buffs currently if using a third party buff frame.

Prince Malchezzar: This is actually far more simple than it seems. Move if an abyssal lands on you, obviously. Feint Shadow Novas, use AR and KS during phase two to burn him through it as quick as possible, and Evasion during phase 3. Save Cloak of Shadows for Amplify Damage.

Well being a prot/ret paladin I have always been farming other raids and it occoured to me that I had never tried to solo Kara so I decided to go for it. Wearing mainly cata greens (ilvl 287, with 2 359 epics).

The trash was silly easy, the mobs have about as much HP as the regulars in cataclysm content, nothing special.

Horseman, easy tank and spank for him, just focus on the horseman and let the horse take splash damage, it was about about 75% hp by the time they mounted up. Fight lasted maybe 4 minutes total. Easy as pie.

Moroe's, just my luck that I ended up with both the holy priest and MS war. I opened the fight with turn evil on the war and popped CDs and destroyed the priest right out. Then worked the others down while keeping the war feared. After the rest of the adds were down I killed the war and then Moroes. The dot he puts on you is negligible and it doesnt stack up so there isnt much to worry about. Pretty easy kill but not as brainless as the Horseman.

Maiden, she was pretty easy but can be cause for a concern depending on gear. Due to her silence aura the only time you can actually cast a heal is if you bubble. I didnt need to but if the fight went on for too much longer I would have but it was still very straightforward. The faster the kill the easier the kill so just pop CDs whenever they are up and spam away. Due to the healing limitations try to keep any damage mitigating abilities up as often as possible.

Opera, this is where I stopped, ended up with little red riding hood.. That just isnt a possible fight to do solo. You take considerable damage when transformed into riding hood and since you are the only one there you get it every time, which works out to about 5 seconds of action, during which he loves to knock you over mid cast followed by 15 seconds of him really beating on your face. Any pointers for those who have soloed him are appreciated but I suspect it cant be done without having much higher level gear to simply absorb what he does to you.

Looking forward to coming back for more once it resets, it was a lot of fun, really took me back haha.

Is there anything that affects which boss you get in the opera event? I've done it about a dozen times (rep now maxed with Violet Eye) and only ever seen the Big Bad Wolf boss. Probably just a coincidence but was wondering if this is common.

I am pretty sure any class can solo Kara right now at lvl 85.
Just did it on a frost mage, no deaths, haven't come close to death even once. On most of the bosses I didn't even have to pop Mirror images to survive.

Chess took the longest (about an hour of attempts).
When you solo that you can only hope for a good rng when the opposing king comes forward fast and you can DPS him by multiple chess pieces. And hope that he doesn't get empowered (in that case he 4-shots most targets).

Dual Druid Duo (L83 Feral/L83 Balance, neither overgeared but with Cataclysm quest greens); full clear took about 3 hours but we were easy going and it was a full clear. This gave us 9725 reputation and approximately 1000g between us after repairs and selling everything.

If you haven't done Karazhan before - not had the opportunity or not in a 'raiding' guild - it's well worth it for entertainment value.

i can solo kara in about 1 hour or 2 depends on how much trash you pull.

i tend to clear the whole place EVERY single mob since its good gold etc. and you can do this place as arms warrior and just pull like ^&*!ing mad and then bladestorm em all down np. the only boss that gave me a problem was nightbane since he actualy hited quite hard so had to go prot for him. otherwise CAKEWALK

Can someone please explain which bosses / events are required and which ones are skippable?

I was there already once (solo, finished at Netherspite cause didn't know about beams) and got feeleing some bosses i killed were optional - don't know if not killing them won't block something further.

Is it possible to do it that way (considering i want to complete it as fast as possible)?
- Skip Servant Quarters
- Skip Attumen & Midnight (i know - it's quick, easy and mount can drop - will do it later tho)
- Kill Moroes (guess i couldn't enter Opera until i killed it)
- Do the Opera Event (or is it optional?)
- Skip Maiden of Virtue (i didn't kill her when doing it first time, so i guess it's optional)
- Kill The Curator
- Do the Chess Event (someone wrote it's required to get access to Prince)
- Skip Terestian Illhoof (i didn't kill it when doing it first time, so i guess it's optional)
- Kill Shade of Aran (or is it optional?)
- Kill? Skip? Netherspite (last time i failed on it so don't really know if it's skippable)
- Skip Nightbane (it's written it can be summoned after defeating Prince so i consider it's optional)
- Kill Prince Malchezaar

Also i didn't see any Chess Event after The Curator (as it's listed here on WoWHead), went to Shade, then to Nether and then i failed - probably missed some doors, but just to be sure... Chess Event is the same way as Nether or maybe i should go some other way after The Curator?

Thanks for help in advance.

<Sunwell Crusaders> We are in need of very good tank and mdps and healers. We are currently running random dungeons for rep while some of us are farming heroics for JP. (keep in mind if your group is only lvl 70 in heroic mode you will get 5JP per boss resulting in 275 JP a day from all heroic bosses plus there is quest for JP. 1925 a week also :-)). Know your class and be patient as we assemble raid groups. 60-70 are welcomed.

Kara is now possible to solo.
Have soloed all of the bosses and chess event 3 times now with hardly any problems as a destruction lock.

The only problem i had is the chess event, now people are saying this is not possible to solo
but i can confirm is it possible heres how...

Firstly talk to the king to start the event
Exit the king by pressing the red X
Then run to the pawn just in front of the king and play him to move him 1 space in front
Exit the pawn
Run to the pawn on the right side of the pawn you just moved and move him 1 space front
Exit the pawn
Run to the Horse to the right of the king and move him directly in front of the king, Make sure that the horse is facing the opposing team b4 exiting
Exit the horse
Run back to the king and if any of the opposing side is anywhere within 2 spaces of the king spam the button 3 if not then spam button 4 to buff your team.
Now from time to time the space your king is on will set of fire move the king straight away to the next avalible space, but once the space one fire has stopped burning move the king back and don't forget to turn him to face the rest of the opposing team and spam 3 if opposing team is 2 spaces in front of the king if not spam 4
If all is done right and the opposing team moves thier pieces right the opposing king will come within 2 spaces of your king then you can hit it with button 3, Keep doing this till the opposing king is dead

And there you go short version of completing the chess event in Kara

I've read about how the side entrance should be unlocked when we're able to reach it from the inside; however, I am in Kara right now, and have cleared up to chess event, ran back to check, and the side entrance door is still showing locked to me. Can't pick it, even though I'm a rogue, and when I do click on it, it says "The door is locked."

Seems after literally running into the door (from the inside and exiting the instance), it opens up, and "lifts" the restriction of the red 'locked' under the tooltip.

You can solo this raid with any level 85 class, the damage done to you is nearly irrelevant even in cloth. The chess event is literally the toughest part of the whole place. This should be an easy 30 minute clear for anyone who is farming up their T4 set pieces for patch 4.3.

Comentado por Axar

Not really the most profitable raid to solo. Gold loot alone from bosses Attumen all the way to Prince Malchezaar will swell your backpack with a whopping ~45g, as each boss only drops around 3-4g.

Assuming most loot is belts, boots, etc., possibly a staff or two, and tier tokens, vendor profits will put you at a total of maybe 150g including the boss gold. (In my case this week, 147g)

Classic Ragnaros alone dropped 141g for me last week.

I recently solo'd this place with my enhancement shammy (381 ilvl). The only real challenge was the chess event. It took me about 20 or so tries to beat it, after trying several different strategies I read. The one that finally worked is this one (and on the first try) :

1. Control king to start event then start his bloodlust move and attack.
2. Switch control to queen and move her ahead of the pawn in front of her.
3. Spam the queen's ranged attack at the king.
4. Move queen and king when the boss cheats and places fire under them.
5. Continue attacking king with queen until she dies.
6. With luck, the king will be in attacking range with your king.
7. Finish attacking the king with your king.
8. Win (hopefully)

Like I said, this worked the first time I tried it. I realize there is luck involved with how your opponent moves, but all of the other strategies just frustrated me after failing a lot.

Comentado por bruenir

Duo'ed this today with BM hunter and Elemental Shammy (ilvl 390+). Chess event stumped us, we had to try it 4-5 times but we finally got it down. Mostly, we followed the advice you'll find in here - start with the king and hero, do some movement of other pieces and then we got down to one person in the king, one in the conjurer or healer depending.

Comentado por Mightyblimp

Chess event and, to a far lesser extent, Netherspite, are the only two bosses that will challenge someone soloing this place.

Chess event is really a trial and error thing, most of the time you're simply relying on the enemy to move their king out early. The most important thing to do is to make sure you have an open space next to your king and at least one of your priests and move them to that open space whenever Medivh throws down fire on the squares they're standing in. The ideal situation you're aiming for is for their king to be 1 on 1 with your king while you go as a priest and just heal yours up. Sometimes he'll completely ignore his king and move the rest of his pieces up, so just be patient and wait for him to slip up.

Netherspite can be difficult if you don't have the gear to just dps him down. Easiest way to kill him is pull him into the back centre of the room and then put his back against the wall. When the beams come out you should be getting all three of them and be able to kill him before the next phase without any risk of dying.

If you're looking to solo this place for gold, don't bother. I would recommend Serpentshrine Cavern - all the bosses drop 250g each and, excluding Lady Vashj, are easily soloable.

Comentado por 966301

Just soloed this entire raid as a lvl 85 ret pally in ilvl 396 gear. There was only really 1 hard part in the entire raid and that's the chess boss because it boils down to luck generally.

The only other boss that had me worried for a sec was Netherspite because it had been so long since I did it and I forgot the mechanics of the fight and I didn't bother to look them up, so when I saw his health start to regen I was 'oh #$%^' lol, but anywayz I just burnt him down so I suppose if your dps is good enough you can just zerg him and forget mechanics.

My strat for the chess was...

1. Use the mage and water elementals as much as possible because they hit hard. Stack them in front of the king if you can, and king can still hit people in the row ahead of them.
2. Don't forget your focus - kill their king. Don't get caught up on their pawns or you'll die. Just zerg warcheif at every chance you get.
3. Move out of fire ASAP

Good luck everyone!

Netherspite does not need to be pulled out of the room to solo him. If you pull him straight past one of the buffing portals, standing in between him and the portal allows you to absorb the energy of 2 or 3 of them.

I soloed him today using this technique with a Prot Paladin ilvl 350, CTC 80%. The fight is not high in random burst damage, so I was actually able to stay alive through several of his phases. This was the first time I ever fought him. When I saw that he was healing himself through the portals, I alt+tabbed to wowhead to look up how to stop the healing, and was able to easily keep myself alive with Word of Glory.

He could be soloable with other classes or specs with a similar ilvl and knowing the boss fight.

Strategy for one/two players from the Solo/Duo Old Raid Compendium, done at level 85 at patch 4.3 with ilvl 385-395 gear:

Karazhan is fully soloable.

General Strategy:

All the trash before Attumen the Huntsmen will aggro upon aggroing the boss, so it is advisable to clear it first.
Ghastly Haunt mobs will put an Ethereal Curse on you. There are a few that you have to aggro to continue, so burn them down as quickly as possible before they have a chance to cast it on you.

Bosses:

All not mentioned: Easy
The Opera Event
Easy
The Red Riding Hood encounter can be difficult because you are forced to run away (and cannot attack) from the wolf while transformed or he will hit you for a good amount of damage even at 85, then you have a very small amount of time to DPS him before he repeats the process.
Also, Romeo and Juliet must die at the same time, which is not very difficult at level 85, but worth noting.

Netherspite

Easy
Will have three beams of light coming from each side of the room towards him. By facing him near where he starts in the back of the room, you can stand where all three of the beams converge and get all 3 of them before they hit him. If this does not work, try to pick up just two and burn him down that way.

The Chess Event

Medium
Difficult to solo because of mechanics, but is doable. The easiest strategy is to get in the king at the beginning and wait for their king to come out, then just spam attack on it until you can bring it down. This method will rely on RNG, as it requires their king to come out first and for you not to get dealt too much fire damage via cheating. But, if you do this enough, eventually this scenario will play out and you will be able to advance. If you would like to try a more detailed/strategic approach, read this guide.

Comentado por Xchange

Keep in mind that in order to pull Nightbane, it does require you first to be honored with The Violet Eye and then complete a quest chain starting with Medivh's Journal that in turn includes killing Shade of Aran. It is possible to get honored on your first run (like on an alt) but you will have to kill everything including the spiders and bats in the basement. Just hold off on Shade until you get to the quest The Shade of Aran.

I was able to solo everything on my level 85 ilvl 377 enhancement shaman without much stress including my first attempt at the Chess Event, just follow the other comments below on the strategy. So for example if you are trying for the Dragonheart Flameshield off Nightbane like me, then have fun on your alt and good luck!

One final note is that the front door no longer requires you have a key to get in, so if you are doing this on an alt you can just walk without completing that long quest chain. However, after completing the Opera Event the back door is still locked and can only either be opened from the inside or by a Cobalt Skeleton Key. So instead of going around like we all used to do after Opera, be sure to take the door that opens up on the other side of the stage which you will need to do anyway in order to kill more mobs for rep.

I can confirm that the Chess Event is still soloable at 90. I completed it on a lvl 90 mage on my 2nd try(about an hour or so ago). I would have one shot it if I wasn't busy messing with one of my Rotties. :)

Simply move the first few pawns in front of King.
If leave vehicle doesn't work, RIGHT click on control peice buff to remove it.
Wait for 10 second Debuff, rinse repeat.

I was able to solo the Chess Event today after a number of tries and honestly I think I won more through blind luck more than any particular strategy. However, if you don't already know, you need to initiate the event by speaking to King Llane, but you can immediately drop control and select a different piece. I'd recommend getting your pawns up as quickly as possible to give the king a chance to maneuver when Medivh cheats. You don't want to be standing in the fire turn after turn. Also, remember that you have two Clerics who can both heal the king. It's not a lot, but it can make a difference. Try to engage the Warchief as early as possible and with as many pieces as you can. The Knights are very useful for moving up to engage him.

Here's my method of grinding The Violet Eye rep:
(Note: This guide is really only for people who have already cleared Kara (or at least have killed the first boss and are unable to reset). If you have the ability to reset, then I would recommend doing that, as the mobs I mention below *do* reset with the instance. Just be sure to space your entrances out by 12 mins.

I actually ran Karazhan for the first time (on any of my toons) the other day. I am a level 90 Arcane mage with a 483 iLevel. I also have the level 12 guild perk Queridinho along with the Estandarte de Batalha da Coordenação (Estandarte de Batalha da Coordenação for Alliance).
Note: Due to the "5 instance entrances per hour" cap, you need to spread out your entrances by 12 mins (which with this guide is very easy to do) I like to use the in-game stopwatch to make sure I am spacing my entrances out enough.

When I rep grind I usually look for a renewable way of grinding the rep in dungeons and raids. However I was running Kara with a guildmate so we ended up doing a full clear. I did also end up doing all of the quests outside of the raid entrance and completed as many as I could (until I am able to run Kara again and finish the rest). I did notice something, though, as I was doing the quests. As soon as you enter Kara (and go through the door) turn to the right, in that room there is a spider, through the next rooms are more spiders, eventually you will get to an area with bats, and through there a room with dogs. All of these mobs respawn every 30 mins (and yes I actually waited and can confirm it's every 30) Yes, I am now aware that there is another post on here that says that, but I am making this post to 1. Confirm this is true and 2. Describe my method to maximize rep grind. Note: I was also grinding this rep along with A Escama das Areias (which I have also written a detailed rep grinding guide). I would do two runs of Scale of the Sands and then come and do one run of Violet Eye.

My Method:
Note: My route is important as it maximizes the number of mobs I grab in the shortest distance. I need to try to do it as fast as I can before my Barreira de Gelo falls off. Also, this is to confirm that trash mobs DO give rep through exalted.

I would enter the raid and start my stopwatch. Go through the door and head into the spider room. I would throw up my Barreira de Gelo as I am a clothie and this, am squishy. and run by the first spider, aggroing him. Note, I never actually did any damage until the end when I being AOEing. Going into the next room I would grab the spider on the right, then the ones on the left. There is a patroling spider in the next room that will come up one of the two ramps, I would then run down the same ramp, aggroing him. I would then run to the right to grab the spider in the corner, then make my way across the room, grabbing the two spiders in the middle and the two in the far corner. I would then head into the bat room. I would grab the bats, then head to the right and grab the bats in the other half. There is a little alcove with bats in it, grab them (and remember this spot). Pull all of the spiders and bats into the doorway of the next room (with the dogs) and while in the doorway drop your Estandarte de Batalha da Coordenação (Estandarte de Batalha da Coordenação for Alliance) and begin to AOE. Dropping the banner here *is* important. once everything you've already aggroed is dead begin to make your way through the room killing all of the dogs. Once you reach the end and have all of the mobs dead you're done..... OR ARE YOU?

Why I placed my banner where I did:
I'm not exactally sure why this happens, either it's how fast you kill the mobs, or where you kill them, or it may actually happen every time and no one has noticed. But once you are done, a rare will spawn. One of three rares will spawn (either a bat, a spider, or a dog). The bat rare Shadikith, o Planador spawns in the little alcove just off the bat room (the one I said to remember). The spider rare Hyakiss, a Tocaieira spawns in the previous spider room in the corner (next to where you came into the bat room). If you get the spider rare, walk over there slowly and only go as far as you need to to kill him, you do this to stay in range of your battle standard. I have yet to have the dog rare Rokad, o Assolador spawn and I've done this about 15 times (EDIT: The 2nd run after I posted this, I got the dog. he spawns at the end of the room, opposite the entrance, where all the other dogs are). People have said you get one of these to spawn if you have killed every mob in the servants quarter. However, I just did it (it's Tuesday so Kara should be respawned) and I only killed the spiders, bats and dogs (which may BE the only mobs in the servants quarters. Like I said, I've only ran Kara once).If you get the battle standard bonus for all of the mobs you will get ~1300 per run, and since the mobs respawn every 30 mins that's ~2600 rep per hour.

Final Words:
So I would recommend, if you're wanting to grind Kara rep to go ahead and do all of the quests (or as many as you can), then do a full clear of the raid, then begin grinding the spiders, bats and dogs. You should be at exalted in no time.

Have fun.

Now that 5.3 is live, Raiding With Leashes II: Attunement Edition helps us spend more hours in Karazhan. It is now farmable for even more reasons (not least of which have been Fiery Warhorse's Reins and some sweet transmog items).

However, if you've been farming it forever/long enough to get the items you want (and if you are very lucky, Attumen has been nice and given you "a vampire horse that is on fire" rather than simply attempting to disperse some petty rabble--you) you may be looking for the quickest path to try to get your own Kit de Segurança Instantâneo do Sacrário Arcano, Coleira Pontuda, Pedra-Portal do Eterespaço and Amuleto do Sátiro.

The only bosses/events you MUST kill/partake in are Tristão (to enable the Opera event), the Opera Event (for the pet!), O Curador (for the pet, also), Terestian Cascopodre (yes...for the pet), the Chess Event (sad faces) and Príncipe Malquezaar.

You can avoid all other mobs and bosses and have a relatively quick run (given that the Chess Event doesn't sap your will to live.)

Once you get whatever pets you need Illhoof becomes optional but Opera, Curator and Chess stay necessary until you get the Netherspace Abyssal.

Hope this helps someone as I was wondering how to do this most quickly. I've spent more time writing this than running Karazhan today.

Good luck with drops!

Seems like the dreaded chess event might have gotten a little easier this past week.
From the hotfix notes for the 5.3 patch, this change on May 24:

Chess Event: Medivh's buff to damage on chess pieces has been reduced to 100%, down from 200%.
Chess Event: Damage from Medivh's fire has been reduced to 4k, down from 10k.

I haven't had a chance to go in and see what effect these changes have on soloing the match, but it will be interesting to try.

There's no need to do the attunement or anything else to access the raid, but you DO need to be at least neutral with O Olho Violeta in order to enter the instance. I went with a character that had never encountered any of this faction guys before and the gate didn't open, I talked to Arquimago Alturus just outside, became neutral with faction and was allowed access. I did have to log out and back in, though.

1. Speak to your King/Chief to start the event and buff your troops (Press 4) before stopping control of the gamepiece. Note: there is a debuff every time you leave a piece that forces you to wait a few seconds before jumping onto the next one. Watch for this and wait until its up or you will be clicking in vain!

2. Move the Pawns in front of the Knights one space forward (Press 1). Move the Rooks (elementals/demons at the outer edges of the board) diagonally where the pawns used to be. This brings their AoE within range of the main battle area in the middle.

3. Move the Pawns in front of the King and Queen pieces so that when Medivh cheats, you can move your King out of the fire. Note: always move him unless the enemy King is almost dead.

4. Jump on the Queen piece and melt the enemy King's face (Press 3) until the match is over. If he's not within range right away, don't worry he'll come to you soon enough. Typically, you will move your own King out of the fire once and the rest of the time you'll be spamming the single target spell until he's down.

5. Loot Baú Empoeirado now that the barrier is down and run upstairs for a chance at Príncipe Malquezaar's Eterespaço Abissal pet - good luck!

Other important bosses along the way:
Attumen, o Caçador --> Rédeas do Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso
Lobo Mau --> Lobinho Mau (one of several possible bosses you face after speaking to Barnes for the Opera Event)
O Curador --> Zelador do Viveiro
Terestian Cascopodre --> Diabrete Bestial

Karazhan was originally going to have a weapon quest similar to Quel'delar and tied to Karazhan's main questline but was scrapped before launch. The only remnant of this quest is Anotações de Keanna, which has been incorporated into the live questline.

Keanna was a Kirin Tor agent sent into Karazhan to investigate the tower. Sometime after writing Anotações de Keanna her soul was somehow trapped within a sword by Príncipe Malquezaar and lost within Karazhan. Finding Shattered Blade would begin a series of quests, beginning with Deprecated: Keanna's Will to free her spirit and doing so would reward you with an epic weapon.

A player in posession of Deprecated: Keanna's Will could use it to summon her spirit and talk to her via the spell: Evocar Aspecto de Keanna.

The hardest part of the Chess game has to be that if Medivh won't move his King out, you can't win. And that's RNG.

It doesn't matter how many pieces you kill, the game ends when one king dies.

If you can get two pieces into a position to beat on his King, you can win, provided you keep your King safe. He can even be one of them, as long as the enemy king ain't faving him.

It is questionable and interesting to point out, to what could be possible, that inside of Kara could be linked to another dimension as the tower seems to connect into another world as you climb higher, looking up above as you climb the floors and platforms reveal the tower has no celling an appears to be shattered, and the final encounter against the prince is placed on what looks like a a floating earthy platform surrounded by floating spires and rock.

It opens many possibilities in future content in lore. But where exactly does this rift lead us into makes me wonder.

It would be nice if the list of bosses were in order they were encountered. I had a difficult time figuring out where I was and where I was going next.

Just spent several hours trying to figure out how to move out of king and onto other chess pieces. Turns out the Addon "Bartender"doesn't recognize the action button that you normally would use (marked with red "X"). Had to disable the Bartender addon and it worked perfectly from then on. Could be a glitch in my config files but curious if anyone else has run into this problem?

Solo'd Kara today and the chess thing was every bit as annoying as I'd heard. I got past it by just switching between the two clerics and healing my king once the other side's pieces got to him. Don't even bother trying to play chess like this. It's a headache. Just kill what pieces you can and then control the clerics to keep your king healed.

Just after leaving the opera theater, I used the side door to go out of the instance and vendor some items. Upon walking back through the side door portal, I was zoned into the Gatehouse at the start of the raid. This happened to me multiple times, each time I tried.

Is this a new issue with the pre-Legion patch, or has this happened a lot with cross-realm zones?

late comment here, but i found a way to that almost always guarantees me a win to the chess game solo.

1) Go in the two pawn pieces in front of the wolves. move them forward one square. Do the same for the one in front of king.

2) Now move demons in front of the wolves.

3) Get in the king and wait for enemy to cast fire ability (he's going to cheat and say something before he does it) and move up one square where pawn was. The goal is just to get out of the fire.

4) Next get in warlock and kill enemy clerics and move when needed to avoid damage. Spam the fire attack on enemy king until he is dead.

5) Congrats! you won

Comment added here and the Chess Event - I took control of Warchief Blackhand to start the event. Dismissed the him and was teleported to the ramp. Took control of an Orc Necrolyte, spammed 4 while using the occasional heal. Eventually King Llane approached and killed him. I moved over one space to give myself more time to heal and attack. With no King of mine to kill, the event worked just fine. Assuming this would work for the Alliance.

BEST CHESS STRATEGY FOR KARAZHAN

King's Indian Attack:

E1 Knight to F3
G2 Pawn to G3
White-Square Bishop to G2
King to G1 (castle with Rook)

This strategy was successful in defeating the chess game with only two players. Obviously this is going to be harder to solo with, but I'm sure you're aware of the difficulties involved with switching between pieces rapidly. However, the true beauty of the KIA in this scenario is the fact that it will leave your king in a very well-defended spot while performing the chess game, allowing you to develop your left side without fear of what's going to happen to the king. When the squares start catching fire, you can always move the king to H1 or swing the rook out to E1 to give the King some more breathing room.

When the enemy pieces advance, they will break themselves over the pawn's delta formation in the lower-right hand part of the board, also allowing you more time to take care of them before they even get close. The Bishop will be unusable for a while, but when the Bishop becomes exposed most of the forces will be on low-mid health and will be easy pickings for your Queen, Bishop, or even your King. After that, it's only a matter of directing your forces at the enemy King. This strategy may end up taking more time than other strategies as well, but the safety of this strategy cannot be paralleled.

Comentado por davidgoeb

So all the comments worked fine until this latest 8.0 patch where the NPCs basically kill each other with only 3 hits. Since the controls in this chess match make it so hard to spam keys to take control of the characters, most are dead before you can do much. It was working fine up until now. Hopefully this gets repaired soon for those of us that need the helm from the Prince.

As of 10/20/19 (for me at least),the chess event is still bugged and it's possibly the worst so far (what a surprise.)

Here's a couple bugs I found (and reported to the in-game bug system);

1. As I finished the event, the door to the final boss opens and a box pops up asking if I would still want to continue on the raid with (10/11) bosses killed (different number if you've skipped the optional bosses)
I was not in a raid group at all,it struck me a strange that it would pop up asking that.
It seemed like I was still pacified (even though I've literally killed all of the opposing pieces). But I talked to Medivh and asked him to reset the board (which still kept the door open,thank N'zoth) and it removed the stupid debuff.

2. The chest acted as if I never won the chess event at all, I am unable to open it, no gears pop up for it.

Instead of a crappy "chess" game that isn't even played like an actual chess game, make a boss that looks like a chess piece and let us loot the body.
It's not that hard coming up with a solution for something as buggy as this.

Comentado por Claark

This is more a question for the community, rather than a comment.

I am trying to recover my old T4 set pieces. I deleted mine before transmog became available to make room for other gear in-I-forget-what-expansion (probably a decade ago at this point :/). I've started solo-ing old content to re-get my old gear for the look. for T4, I have run Gruul and Kara a few times now and the set pieces aren't dropping. I've noticed that Kara is now a 10-man. The in-game Adventure Guide lists the gear as available on the bosses. When I kill them, nothing from those sets drop. Ever.

What am I doing wrong? Anyone else encountered a similar problem?

Some guidance would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

This is part 2/2 of my recommended route through Karazhan. First part can be found here: https://www.wowhead.com/karazhan#comments:id=3266307

5 - Opera Hall
From the Gatehouse we take the main entrance (behind Berthold), and upstairs the Grand Ballroom should be all cleared. We go right and upstairs again to the upper floor, and we are now facing the passage to the Opera Hall.
Inside we are clearing the bench floor and the patrolling Porteiro Cadavérico. On the right innermost side goes our way downstairs and through the empty orchestra pit. Upstairs again and we are backstage with mobs spread through the area.

At backstage we have the NPC Barnes we have to speak to for proceeding to the opera scene. Note that he wont let you proceed unless Tristão in the Banquet Hall is killed. At the opera scene do we get to participate in a random theatrical setup - a random boss. This is my absolute favourite part of Karazhan - always exciting with variety and great dialogues.
At the end a door opens up and we head upstairs to the mid balcony level surrounding the opera. And further upstairs to the upper level where mobs are sitting in each second balcony - easily overlooked reputation. At this upper level do we have a passage in southeastern direction to the Broken Stairs.

6 - Nightbane on Master's Terrace and The Broken Stairs
Through said passage from the upper opera floor we are heading downstairs to a down-sloping corridor with spread mobs. At the bottom we have a slope on left side going downwards, and under this slope is an open doorway out to Master's Terrace. If you want to skip the boss Nightbane, you don't need to head outside at all, but rather go to the right side of the doorway where the mentioned slope above it meets our floor, and head up that slope. I will be with you in a second.

Now, back to Master's Terrace: This is an outdoor part of the instance where you can summon a ground mount, giving you yet another opportunity to see a vendor if you have a vendor mount. 2/3rd through the circular terrace do we have a Urna Enegrecida on left side which when interacted summons the optional boss Nocturno. Although this boss gives 250 unbuffed reputation, the combat phases are forced and it takes 1,5 minutes to complete - despite Nightbane being oneshot at first hit. So it is up to you if this boss is worth the time it takes.

Forward through the terrace and inside again we have a lone mob on left side, besides an unlockable door to the inner upper floor surrounding the Grand Ballroom. We do not head this way, but this is a shortcut out and back in again if you need to head to a vendor.

Instead we head to the right and ends up at the bottom of the sloped corridor we initially came from, and we head up the slope on right side following the outer wall. The Broken Stairs is chaotic yet linear with few spread mobs, and at the end we are reaching a titan/dwarven statue in a circular room.

7 - The Menagerie and Guardian's Library
Through the room passing said statue, we enters the Menagerie. This is a straight forward corridor with the boss O Curador. From here we proceed through to the ground level of Guardians Library and every spellcaster's nightmare. The ground floor have plenty of packs of Come-Mana - which are immune against any schools of magic! Even Paladinos struggle with these. Luckily these barely gives any reputation at all and are worth skipping for spellcasters.

On the left side do we have a slope heading up to the upper levels, and this route is somewhat linear. After sloping upwards through two rooms our way slopes downwards towards a room with Homúnculo - white imps. When turning left we see an interactable section of the book shelf wall named "Disconcerting Bookshelf", hiding a dead-end hallway to the optional boss Terestian Cascopodre

Proceeding from the room with the Disconcerting Bookshelp upwards to next room, and here we on left side have the Private Library Door leading to a side room with Vulto de Aran. Straight forward takes us upwards a linear path untill we reach a circular room with Ladrão Etéreo. From here we have a left slope up leading us to Eteródio who drops Ovo da Asa Etérea, and a right slope down taking us further in to the vendor NPC Ythyar.

8 - Gamesman's Hall
On the left side of Ythyar do we have the doorway to Gamesman's Hall - the worst piece of chesslike minigame to ever exist. There are two somewhat reliable ways to win the game, although RNG can cause defeat and restart. The fastest and active option is the following:
1. Interact with Rei Llane and the game starts. Leave him immediately. Alliance = white bricks, Horde = black bricks. Interact with next piece ASAP when the game debuff goes away, and leave the pieces right after moving them. You do not need to control them see them move, they will move anyway.
2. Move Soldado Raso dos Homens at g2 to g3
3. Move Soldado Raso dos Homens at f2 to f3
4 Move Elemental da Água Conjurado at h1 to g2, and further to f2. Then turn the elemental 90 degrees to the right so they yet again faces the enemy.
5. Move Soldado Raso dos Homens at e2 to e3
6. Use Rei Llane and spam Heroísmo.
7. When Medivh casts the cheat setting the ground under Rei Llane on fire, move him up to e2
8. Spam Heroísmo and use Varredura when facing enemy NPCs.

You will have to leave the brick manually when the game is won, and the loot is in a spawning Dust Covered Chest on western side of the room.

The other option for winning this game is the slowest, but requires much less effort:
1. Interact with Rei Llane and start the game. Leave the NPC-vehicle immediately
2. Go brew yourself a cup of coffee, do some household chores, or watch some youtube for about five minutes.
3. Return to the game. If you lost, simply repeat steps 1 and 2. If you won, and the loot have spawned: Congrats, and enjoy your coffee!

The doorway on eastern side is now open as we can enter the innermost part of Karazhan.

9 - Medivh's Chambers and Netherspace
We enter a room with an upgoing slope on left side, and a room with stairs on right side. Clear the room, and clear the room on right side. Although there is a stair going up, we wont go up that way. Instead we head for the slope on left side of the first room which takes us up to Medivh's Chambers.

In Medivh's Chambers there are mobs in every room, and we reaches the mid section of a staircase starting at the room we previously cleared.
Further upstairs do we get an opening in the wall leading to an upper terrace and circular room with one single mob. It is up to you if this sidetrack is worth 15 reputation.

Going all upstairs takes us above the previous sidetrack and into a circular room with another single mob. From here goes a passage to Netherspace and a constantly running Príncipe Malquezaar - being Karazhan's last boss and giving us 500 reputation towards O Olho Violeta. Hooray!

Edit 2022/03/26: Adding strategies for the chess event.

Comentado por TerribleAtGames

I have been farming Karazhan for O Olho Violeta rep and mats on five alts, and have found the following route to be the most efficient farming route including the bosses. Sadly this got too long for one comment, and I had to split it up. Part 2/2 can be found here: https://www.wowhead.com/karazhan#comments:id=3266306

1 - Servant's Quarters
When entering the Gatehouse, go straight to the right to the cellar (Servant's Quarters). Although you only will find spiders, bats and hounds here, all gives reputation all the way to exalted!
If you are looking for Couro Nodoso, all bats and hounds are skinnable and there is a short way out for reset. Also the hounds are lucrative if you are interested in Pelego Vil.

This area have three farmable "rare" mini-bosses with separate loot tables in which only one will spawn for each Karazhan run. They are not ordinary bosses, meaning you can kill the spawn, go outside, and reset the instance.
Now, for any of them to spawn you need to kill at least 90% of the trash. This means almost all of the spiders, bats, and hounds you can find.

When the "rare" spawns, they will do so with an emote in the General Chat. Example:

Rokad the Ravager howls through the halls...

Hyakiss, a Tocaieira - if spawn, can be found in the north-western corner of the room with the spiders. This one can be hard to see as Hyakiss is in Stealth.
Shadikith, o Planador - if spawn, can be found in the eastmost bat room.
Rokad, o Assolador - if spawn, can be found innermost in the hound room.

2 - The Guest Chambers
From The Servant's Quartes there is a hallway in westmost bat area going up to the Guest Chambers. This area is pretty straight forward: clear the hallway and the three rooms on the left side. At the end of the hallway is the boss Donzela da Virtude. Then go all the way back to the start of the hallway, and the doorway facing south that we ignored when we came here.

3 - The Grand Ballroom and Banquet Hall
Enter said doorway from the Guest Chambers. On the right side is the passage to the Opera Hall - ignore that one for now. We will go there later. Instead we are clearing the upper floor around the Banquet Hall and Grand Ballroom. The mobs are spread and few, and gives only a small amount of rep, so this upper floor can be skipped altogether.

On the left side is the stairs down to the Grand Ballroom with plenty of mobs. Here facing south is also the main entrance - stairs to the Gatehouse. If your bags are full, this is a good opportunity to head out to a vendor. However, if you are at least revered with O Olho Violeta and still have room in your bags, there is a vendor inside not too far away on our route.
Head westwards into the Banquet Hall, and clear the hall. Don't forget Tristão in the westmost part of the hall, otherwise we can't proceed through with the Opera boss!

4 - Livery Stables
After clearing the Banquet Hall, we head through the doorway on south side to the Scullery AKA kitchen. Clear the room and head further south into the Livery Stables. This circular upper floor is split onto four rooms with patrolling mobs: The room we just entered, the living room on right side, bed room on left side, and stairs room on the opposite side. Our first room have a door - Blood Stained Door - leading to an empty side room named the Guardhouse. I have no clue what it is for, and I have never seen anyone in it.
We walk in a circle clearing the rooms before heading back to the room on opposite side and downstairs.

The room downstairs have two pack of mobs, one which is easily overlooked behind the stairs. This room have the NPC Koren who is available as vendor and repair when we are at least honoured with O Olho Violeta.
Further do we have the centre room with Meia-noite, which summons Attumen, o Caçador when attacked. Clearing our way through the circular ground floor, and we reach the Gatehouse again. If you have full bags - this is yet an opportunity to head out.

See part 2/2 here: https://www.wowhead.com/karazhan#comments:id=3266306

Edit 2022/04/08: Corrected reputation requirement for access to the vendor Koren.

Comentado por TerribleAtGames

Here's the most efficient routes if you only are interested in bosses:

You will get loot from the bosses, but you wont get that much trash loot, reputation, nor reagents like motes and cloth. If you are looking for the most efficient route for full trash clear/rep farm, you can find my guide here: https://www.wowhead.com/karazhan#comments:id=3266307

Servant's Quarter Rares
If you are interested in the rare bosses Hyakiss, a Tocaieira, Shadikith, o Planador and/or Rokad, o Assolador, you have to head towards Servant's Quarters. To get there you take the first doorway on right side after entering the instance. Then you need to clear the rooms in this basement for spiders, bats, and hounds, and one of the rares will spawn. You can here head outside and reset the instance if you want to farm them. When you are done you head back out to the Gatehouse.

Living Stables - Attumen the Huntsman
Head straight forward through the Gatehouse, and you ends up in the circular Livery Stables. Here at the ground level will you find Meia-noite, which summons Attumen, o Caçador and can drop Rédeas do Cavalo de Guerra Fogoso. If you want to proceed to the other bosses, you can either head back to the Gatehouse or head further in and upstairs. Here you can't avoid trash unless you stealth, and will have to fight trash through the circular upper floor, the kitchen, and into the Banquet Hall where Moroes is.

Moroes, Maiden of Virtue, and onwards.
The other bosses but Donzela da Virtude are locked and can not be accessed unless you kill Tristão and do the Opera boss.
To get to Moroes from the Gatehouse you head up the second doorway on right side - the main entrance. Once upstairs at The Grand Ballroom you head left to the Banquet Hall and can find Moroes on the westmost part.

Then head back to The Grand Ballroom where you find a doorway on northern side - and stairs to the upper floor.
Upstairs you will face a passage in front of you, and have a doorway on right side. That doorway leads to a parallel corridor with the optional Donzela da Virtude on the eastern end. The passage in front of you takes you to the Opera Hall, and from here is the instance linear all the way through to the rest of the bosses. The route further in is in detail described in part 2 of my full clear guide, but here I will continue with a fast-paced summary.

Opera Hall - The Curator - Prince Malchezaar
Forward into the Opera Hall you can simply jump into the pit and take the left doorway. The corridors ahead takes you to the required Opera event, and from here you continue the linear way up though the balconies, through a corridor, and downsloping towards Master's Terrace and Nocturno. A slope will come down on the left side, and this is your way upwards to O Curador.

Guardian's Library and it's three optional bosses is described in my mentioned linked guide, and this messy section ends at the Gamesman's Hall which Chess event also is described. Leaving this hall you will end up in a crossroad where you head to the right and then up the staircase as far as it takes you. This leaves you a linear route onwards to Príncipe Malquezaar.

Edit 2022/03/09: Added route summary for the bosses past the Opera Event.

Karazhan Solo Walk Thru

Introduction:
These notes are for running the raid solo on the Mythic setting.
I first did this as a level-60 (Shadowlands era) mage and could one-shot everything.
Karazhan gives The Violet Eye rep for most kills.
I will assume players can one-shot the bosses, so I will not talk about fight mechanics unless the fight is more involved.
The trash mobs in this dungeon respawn and are an opportunity to make lots of rep, so you can return to farm rep before the weekly reset.
This place drops a LOT of stuff, including a lot of BoE gear to pass on to alts or to auction.
Humanoids drop a lot of Netherweave Cloth.
Just outside the instance is Mage Darius, who will buy your vendor trash.

After completing the entire instance, I found that most of the place was devoid of mobs to kill. However, the Servant’s Quarters were filled with critters that yielded a total of 1025 rep, including another spawned rare that was good for 125.

I clear the Servants’ Quarters many times for the extra rep, but I’ve found that when I go through the main entrance after having gotten a fair way through the instance, I end up on the Broken Stair instead of the Gatehouse. I don’t know if it thinks I am doing the Legion-era Return to Karazhan dungeon because I might have used that side entrance earlier. To get back to The Gatehouse, proceed down the Broken Stair to the end where a round table is next to a door. Go through the door and turn right. There is a closed door ahead, go through it to the Grand Ballroom. Jump down to the stairs below immediately after entering the ballroom. Continuing down the stairs takes you to The Gatehouse.

I’ll lead you through this very confusing raid and we will have the boss engagements in the following order:

Random boss (Hyakiss the Lurker, Rokad the Ravager, or Shadikith the Glider)
Attumen the Huntsman
Moroes
Maiden of Virtue
Random boss (Red Riding Hood, Romulo and Julianne, or Wizard of Oz)

I got about 13,000 reputation for The Violet Eye during one run with several trips to the Servants Quarters

Note: This is a work in progress and I didn’t actually run the raid in the following order, so some parts may be confusing or downright wrong. Feedback is helpful. I will rerun it after the weekly reset to fix any issues I see.

The Gatehouse:
You start at The Gatehouse.
Berthold, a friendly NPC, is on a platform on the right. He will answer a few questions.

The Servants' Quarters (random mini boss):
Just inside the entrance go through a door on the right (NE) to enter the Servants' Quarters.
You will find Hastings there. He is upset about the pests in the quarters and warns you about them.
The spiders drop Netherweb Spider Silk. I got a total of 15 on two visits. Some spiders are stealthed.
Cross the room to the left and pass through a doorway to the north.
Wander through all the rooms and kill everything to spawn one of three mini bosses. The possibilities are:

They each spawn in their respective areas. Hyakiss is stealthed and is near the door between the spider and bat areas.
If you hang around here or come back later (even after completing the raid!), the trash mobs will respawn and you can kill them for 15 rep each. The spiders dropped another 11 Netherweb Spider Silk.
It appears that another 120-rep mini boss will spawn every time you clear the Servants’ Quarters.
I get 1025 rep for each clear.
In the NW part of the quarters is a doorway leading up a ramp to the Guest Chambers. We'll skip that for now.
Go back to The Gatehouse.

Livery Stables (Attumen the Huntsman):
Follow the white cobblestones from The Gatehouse to the left into the Livery Stables.
You may find Calliard, a friendly NPC, who will tell you about Midnight the horse and her owner, Attumen the Huntsman. The story is that neither are very nice.
Kill everything in the first two areas.
Midnight is in the third area and is nonaggressive. Attacking her spawns Attumen the Huntsman, who also needs to die.
Midnight also aggroes every horse in the stables, so kill them first. This didn't happen when I tested it recently. Maybe Midnight died before calling for help.
Kill the rest of the mobs on this lower floor. You should see Koren, a repair vendor near a forge. This would be a good time to lighten your load.
Climb the decrepit stairs at the rear to the second floor.
Follow the circle around and kill all the mobs for loot and rep.
At the northern point of the circle is a short flight of stairs to The Scullery where food for the Banquet Hall is being prepared.
Work your way to the left and pass through the door in the NW corner to enter The Banquet Hall.

The Banquet Hall (Moroes): This is a large room with a lot of guests sitting at tables. I didn’t care for the way they treated the servants, so I killed them all. I got three rep for each.
On the left side (west) of the room is a stage area for Moroes and four other named NPCs.
I assumed they were bad people, so I killed them too.
~~A set of keys drop on the table, but despawn fairly quickly. You will need them later to get out onto the Master’s Terrace.~~ I think the keys were for the Return to Karazhan instance in the Legion expansion.
In the NE corner of the room is a passthrough to the Grand Ballroom.
On the north wall is a doorway leading to stairs up to the next level of the Grand Ballroom.
It looks down on the Grand Ballroom below. On the north wall of this floor is a door to The Guest Chambers.
The west end of the hallway leads to that ramp down to the Servants' Quarters that we skipped earlier.
The Servants' Quarters are full of pests again, so you may want to consider getting the rep and Netherweave Spider Silk.
The 58 empty slots I had in my bags were full now, so I decided to look for a vendor and mailbox.
Outside, Mage Darius bought a lot of vendor trash, so I decided to finish the Opera House before heading to a mailbox.
I went back through the Servants' Quarters to get to The Guest Chambers.

The Guest Chambers (Maiden of Virtue):
I worked my way through all the rooms on my way eastward down the hall.
At the end of the hall, the Maiden of Virtue stood tall in the center of a round room.
After killing her, I worked my way back to the second floor of the Grand Ballroom.
To get there, I followed the hall in the Guest Chambers to the east and took the door on the left.

The Opera House (The Big Bad Wolf):
Turn right (west) and the room becomes the second floor of the Banquet Hall. Go figure.
At the west end of the room is a triple archway. Pass through it to enter the Opera House.
Straight ahead is the auditorium with a bunch of patrons. I noticed that they came bearing fruit and vegetables that they might throw at me during my upcoming performance, so I killed them for rep and drops.
On the north side of the auditorium is a raised area with a door at the west end.
Take the spiral ramp down to what must be the orchestra pit with organ pipes on the far wall.
A door at the south end of the room leads to the backstage area.
I killed all the mobs on both floors before talking the Barnes, a friendly NPC.
I told him I was not an actor, but he said I'd be fine and opened a door to the stage.
Barnes went to center stage and introduced the play.
When done with his speech, he returned stage left and closed the door behind him.
There are several possible plays that can happen. For the Big Bad Wolf, I was presented with “Grannie” and I had a short conversation with her before she turned into the Big Bad Wolf. For some reason, I could not attack him, but I think my gear killed him when he struck me. (I’ll have to investigate further)
A door opened stage right (south) and I heard murmurs of a possible Tony award as I followed a ramp up to the balcony.
I killed everything on my way around the auditorium.
A ramp up on the north wall led to the second level of the balcony.
At the east end of the balcony was an archway. Stairs beyond it led down to the floor below.
The SE end of the room opened to the lower Broken Stair.

The Master’s Terrace (Nightbane):
I followed The Broken Stair down a short way and found double doors on the left. They led to an exit from the instance, but it turns out that is the entrance for the Return to Karazhan dungeon—not this raid. It got me very confused the first two times I came back inside through that portal.
Without going outside, I proceeded down The Broken Stair and found an open doorway on the left below a ramp. Go through the door to The Master’s Terrace.
You will find a tiny Blackened Urn on the western side of the terrace arc near the edge. Click on it to summon and kill Nightbane.
He flew around for a while before approaching and becoming attackable. I reduced his health to 1% and he flew up and took no more damage. He came down and started sending Restless Skeletons after me. He then flew back up and came around and landed on the terrace. I could kill him then.
Return to The Broken Stair through the door that got you to the terrace.

The Menagerie (The Curator):
I turned left and proceeded down The Broken Stair and around to the right until I came to a round table.
I went up the ramp to the left and through the door to the outside.
I followed the Broken Stair up to the top and came to the Menagerie.
Work your way to The Curator and kill it.

The Guardian’s Library (Shade of Aran):
Continue to the back (south end) of The Curator’s room and into the Guardian’s Library.
There are lots of mobs around the room. Some are Mana Feeders, which (I suppose) means they eat your mana. You can’t kill them, but they die on their own after a short while and are worth three rep.
There is a ramp going upward in the SW corner of the room. I climbed it and came to a round room with a bunch of mobs there. After killing them, I went through a door on the NW side of the room and up a ramp.
I worked my way to a room with a doorway on the right (SE). There is a large bookcase on the left (NW) with three main sections. The one in the middle is darker than the other two. Click on it. It opens to a path to The Repository.
Note: I found errors the last time I did this. I find this maze-like area a bit confusing. I guess I'll need to run it again to ensure I have it right.

The Repository Terestian Illhoof):
I walk through the halls to the Repository, where I found Terestian Illhoof and a few mobs. I returned to the room with the secret bookcase in the Guardian's Library.

The Guardian’s Library Part Deux:
I continued across the room and up the ramp. I came to a room with two exits: a down ramp on the left and an up ramp on the right. I took the up ramp.
I worked my way along until I came to a round room with Ethereal Thieves. On the opposite side of the room is an exit with up and down ramps. I took the up ramp to the Celestial Watch.

The Celestial Watch (Netherspite):
Netherspite was waiting for me and yielded a Netherwing Egg, which can be turned in for rep.

The Guardian’s Library Part Drei:
Return to The Guardian’s Library and the room with the side-by-side up/down ramps and take the down ramp.
The next room led up a ramp to the right. I followed the down ramp through a few rooms with 30-rep mobs until I came across Ythyar, who is a repair vendor. Nice!
There is a door in the NW corner of the room with Ythyar. Go through it to get to the Gamesman’s Hall.

Gamesman’s Hall (Dust Covered Chest):
I was confused how to do this. I looked up strats for this event and it seems something has changed over the years. I could not exit the King after controlling him. I tried three times and after he died the last time, all the chess pieces disappeared and the Dust Covered Chest appeared. Weird…
On the next visit, I just stayed with the king. I cast Heroism (4) whenever it was up. If there were enemy pieces within two spaces, I would do a Sweep (3). I just used these two spells until the enemy king died. It would have been nice to play the game the way it was intended, but...
I collected the goods in the chest next to the Echo of Medivh.

Netherspace(Prince Malchezaar):
I went through the opening on the far side (NE) of the Gamesman’s Hall into a room with Fleshbeasts. That room had doors on the left and right. Going right leads to a room with a door on the left (NE) which takes you to a dead end on the Master’s Terrace. There is also a wooden, spiral staircase. As the dozen fleshbeasts in this area are worth 30 rep each, go back to the first room after the chess event and continue across to the other door. Go through the rooms (one is Medivh’s Chambers) while killing the mobs and you end up at the spiral staircase, but one floor up from before.
Go down to the bottom of the stairs and kill the fleshbeasts, then go up two flights to a room with another 30-rep mob and return to the stairs.
Climb to the top of the stairs and work your way to the Netherspace, where Prince Malchezaar is pacing back and forth. Killing him completes the raid.

I don't know how to play chess so this event was always a bit hit and miss for me. Tonight however, I decided just to stay as the King and not move. I didn't move any pieces. I just stayed in the king and hit hero when it was off CD and if anything got near me, hit the melee attack. I beat it.
