Defeat Algalon the Observer in 10-player mode at level 80 without anyone in the raid wearing any equipment with an item level higher than is available in 10-player Ulduar.

Even though this is now a Feat of Strength, it is still obtainable in patch 4.2 so long as all raid members are level 80 (proof: Aelobin - The Maelstrom (EU)).

Here's some useful information for those who are attempting this in Cataclysm:
■The key is no longer required to open the door to his room
■The 1 hour time limit has been removed, so you can fight him for as long as you like
■Armour items must be ilvl 226 or less, and weapon items (mainhand/offhand/ranged) must be ilvl 232 or less
■It doesn't matter where your gear is from (the 219s from ICC 5mans or ToC5hc are fine)
■Epic gems are allowed
■Reforging is allowed
■Heirlooms are allowed (although you shouldn't really be using them)
■The cataclysm leg enchants, profession enchants and Savage Armor Kits are all allowed
■You can use Cataclysm consumables (flasks/potions/food)
The hardest part about getting this title is finding 10 level 80s with the correct level of gear (or time/motivation to farm the gear). If you're organising a group, it's a great advantage to have a shadow priest to take all the Big Bangs (with Glyph of Dispersion). Healing isn't too hard with 2 tank healers (especially if one is a pally and/or disc priest) and if the collapsing stars are killed at safe times. Average DPS needs to be around 5k dps each, which is a very easy benchmark to reach with consumables/buffs/reforging.

Vi ~ Llane ~ Shaman ~ DPS (Royi)
Bryndis ~ Dethecus ~ Warrior ~ Tank (Kalliope)
Megabucks ~ Arthas ~ Priest ~ Heals I think? (Meggers)
Gimlion ~ (Somethingorather)
Worba ~ Death Knight (Worba)


It looks like I have 3-5 people from Open raid as well. This should get going decently quick I hope

But Royi, What profession should I pick up????

I'm glad you asked mysterious stranger! Here are answers! My own pref is Inscription, Leatherworking, and Tailoring offer the most BOOM BOOM, but Enchanting and Engineering and Alchemy all have their bonuses as well. I'm full engineering on 3 of my 4 85's myself so I'm a bit partial to that skill as well.

I think it's a really fun achievement to do, good luck finding all the pieces!

Wow i didnt know that place existed! Awesome! That motivates me to get going on gearing up my mage

Or heck even xferring my old shaman who I kind of want to do.

I like that site alot Sam, thanks for sharing it. It seems much nicer than twinkinfo ~ At twinkinfo you get a lot of elitists with huge egos

I have a bear druid I've racked up some good amount of raid tanking experience with, but since I'm way more used to being a hunter, tanking (mostly moving the boss and positioning) tends to stress me out. I'm still willing to do it though.

Well, time to work on leveling!

It's been ages since I've played any of them, but they are there. I'd have to remember how to tank on the warrior/dk, but the mage I remember how to play - and I know she's at least been in Uld.
