Getting Attuned for Karazhan

This will be the first raiding instance we will go thru as a guild. You need to be 68 to start the quest. We will focus on Friday evenings getting people attuned.

The key is called The Master's Key, which everyone in the raid needs to have in order to enter the instance. The key can be gotten by following the questline which starts with Archmage Alturus (48,76) of Violet Eye just outside Karazhan:

[Step 1] Arcane Disturbances (47,75)
Alturus sends you on a quest with a [Violet Scrying Crystal] to take readings inside the Master's Cellar just nearby — go down each passage, do your work, and return to him.

[Step 2] Contact from Dalaran (47,75) north of the big purple dome near Southshore.
NOTE: To begin this quest you also need to complete [Step 1a] Restless Activity (53,79 / 50,79), which can be solved parallel with Arcane Disturbances

[Step 3] Khadgar (15,54)
[Step 4] Entry Into Karazhan (54,44)
The [First Key Fragment] to be found by the last boss Murmur in the Shadow Labyrinth at Auchindoun.
NOTE: You will need a key to enter Shadow Labyrinth, which drops off the last boss, Talon King Ikiss in Sethekk Halls, the previous wing of Auchindoun. Only 1 person in the group needs the key to enter the instance.

[Step 5] The Second and Third Fragments Terrace of Light of Shattrath City. (54,44)
The [Second Key Fragment] to be found in The Steamvault at Coilfang Reservoir. (Arcane Container)
The [Third Key Fragment] and last key part to be found in Arcatraz at Tempest Keep. (Arcane Container)
NOTE: To enter Arcatraz you need a key or a 350 lockpicking rogue. The questline to get the key to Arcatraz is as follows:

Spymaster Thalodien (in Area 52).

* Step 1: Assisting the Consortium [Level 68]

Nexus-Stalker Khay'i at Area 52:

* Step 2: Consortium Crystal Collection [Level 68]
* Step 3: A Heap of Ethereals [Level 68]
* Step 4: Warp-Raider Nesaad [Level 69]
* Step 5: Request for Assistance [Level 69]

Gahruj at Eco-Dome Midrealm:

* Step 6: Rightful Repossession [Level 69]
* Step 7: An Audience with the Prince [Level 69]
* Step 8: Triangulation Point One [Level 69]
* Step 9: Triangulation Point Two [Level 70]
* Step 10: Full Triangle [Level 70]

A'dal at Shattrath City:

* Step 11: Special Delivery to Shattrath City [Level 70] - handing this quest in gives an amazing 2 hour buff you might want to save for something special.
* Step 12: How to Break Into the Arcatraz [Level 70, group]
This quest involves completing both Botanica and Mechanar to obtain the 2 halves of the key. Druid level 68 flight form or level 70 flying mount is required to go to these instances, since you have to fly to them to reach the portals.


[Step 6] The Master's Touch
Take [Restored Apprentice's Key] from the previous quest to Medivh at The Black Morass in the Opening the Dark Portal wing of the Caverns of Time and he will turn it into [The Master's Key].
NOTE: Black Morass attunement required by completing the "Old Hillsbrad" quest chain, including "Escape from Durnholde".

[Step 7] Return to Khadgar
Take the key and show it to Khadgar in Shattrath City.

[Step 8] The Violet Eye
Khadgar directs you to return to Alturus with the key and seek help from the Violet Eye who will then start giving you quests in Karazhan.
 
about what time are we going to start this attunement run on friday? i will be able to be online friday evening since it will be my dayoff and my wife is going to a play and out to eat with some of her friends, so i will be on alot earlier than 8pm st like iam usually.
 
I and some others in the guild are trying to get shadow labs grps up to work on this attunement quest line. The main thing i can think of at this time is we need tanks to help with these grps, ive been in shadow labs once and had to call it d/t tank had to leave and found no repleacement and was working on getting a SL grp up and couldn't go due to the lack of tanks. So can we set a couple of days during the week so people in the guild can get together and work on this attunement quest chain? I would be willing to work on a late night attunement grp due to i usually don't get online till 8pm st and this is because of work.Well i hope to hear from some people concerning doing these quest for attunement to kara, sincerely Augustious(aka jody).
 
Ok I am new to the guild. Or at least sort of. I have a couple concerns. Not gripes mind you. So please take them with a grain of salt. I see some of the players that are in the 10man Kharazan now doing their Heroic Dungeons and pushing forward. I think that is great. However I also see people that dont have their Kharz key yet. Would it be to unreasonable to expect those with keys to be helping all those who want keys get them done? I have the key and would like to go to Kharazan one day. However I could not even get a full 10 going the other night because we dont have enough keyed yet. I in turn could not find the right class's while I was on to help some get the quest done. There were class's on but none were available to help. Maybe it was bad timing. Maybe there needs to be some emphasis put on people to help others catch up. I would have a hard time personally pushing forward without my guildies able to have the same opportunity. The fun part of this game is doing things together and progressing as a team. Not as a select few. Maybe there is a plan and I just dont understand it yet.
 
Reco, thanks so much for grouping with some of us who were attempting to finish Shad Labs over the weekend. Our group was not class balanced and we were unsuccessful on that run. However, another group of guildies formed on Sunday which had the dps we needed and four of us obtained our first key shard. Thanks Avesther for helping with that run :)

Reco stuck with us gooberish noobkins and kept his cool and we learned a lot and some of us finally became successful. I know some of you are still trying, and running Shad Labs, don't give up because you are learning each time you go and you will get your shard and you will be a stronger player when you get to Karazhan.

I am also looking forward to learning what our first attuned team can pass down to us from their current forays into Karazhan. When they succeed, we all succeed. Go team, and definitely pitch in when you can!

And, of course be good to one another and have fun!!! :D
Goodwone
 
I'm also more than happy to help people get keyed on Nevi as well so if you need a mage spot filled for a group to get a portion of your key (or to start the chain), let me know.
 
Hey Reco, I appreciate you voicing your concerns. If I can give my opinion I have to say that a great deal of emphasis is being put on the guild to get keyed. I know many ppl are helping every day. example: I personally ran 6 CoT Thrall runs in the past 2weeks yet I didn't need a single drop in there. It was just for keying ppl. There are tons of examples like this from many ppl in the guild.

The thing is that Kara is extremely hard and requires the very best blue gear and crafted epics. Those who are on the current team have their work cut out for them, farming rep non stop to get the upgrades they need.

Anyone who is serious about Kara needs to show it by working hard. Grind rep for those epics, run instance after instance for blue upgrades. PuG the quest instances for key fragments. Spend 1-3k gold on crafted epics and enchants. Whatever it takes. The Kara key quest line is part of the "filtering process" to see who will "cut it" in Kara. Sure we could set up times and ask the best geared in the guild to run ppl through it all. But that would do a huge disservice to everyone.

Everyone who desires to enter Kara needs to understand that it is a long process to get there and very demanding. Of course it will be worth it as we get 25ppl through it all and onto the bigger raids.

Luckily we have a great guild and people are running stuff every night. If you have bad timing on finding a group, then PuG it that night and try again the next one. There are tons of helpful people in the guild.

Don't worry Reco, you are in THE premier guild on the server, no one is more helpful and friendly then us. Many guilds who raid 5 nights a week are not as far as we have gone and will go with just 2 night a week raiding teams.

Hang in there, it only gets better from here. In 2 weeks our 2nd team will be entering Kara! (Lord-willing)
 
Last night I saw 4 Black Morass groups (I did one), 2 Old Hillsbrad and a bunch of Shadow Labs and Steamvaults going on (all guild groups). I know at least 5 got keyed for Kara, probably more. Awesome work all. Very productive night!
 
It WAS a very productive night last night! Mirakle and I helped jackhog, cooptroop and myth get keyed. It was a solid group! I'll be on tonight around 9:00 server if anyone needs help. Roew mentioned he needed old hillsbrad if anyone else needs it. Maybe we could do it with 5 druids? Hehe...
 
As an option I am on the Shadow Labs portion for the quest. If you need a mage for this or any other instance please don't hesitate to ask.
 
I don't have co-ordinates nor do I know where Kharazan is to start the attunement quests.... I'll try to look em up on thot bott. Not sure how much I'll be on this weekend, but if anyone is on and can give me some tips, I'd appreciate it.
 
Oh yea havent posted it yet but Sazul is keyed so if anyone needs a tank for any instances just message me.

I'm on this step anyone wanna help?
 
I am working on getting to steamvaults for 2nd key and i want to thank everyone who helped me with getting the first key and to also thank everyone who had helped me in the past in shadowlabs but was unfortunate in not getting that cursed 1st key frag, and also i would like to apoligize to anyone if i upset them by my behavior due to getting so aggrivated and becoming impatient in getting that first key frag. I am sorry and due to some rest from wow and some good nights of sleep i have a renewed and refreshed attitude concerning getting attuned to khrazan and also playing wow.
