'''Ulduar''' is a raid dungeon in the [[titan]] complex of [[Ulduar]] which is located in the [[Storm Peaks]]. It serves as the prison of the [[Old God]] [[Yogg-Saron]]<ref name="UlduarPreview">{{ref web |url=http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/3p1/ulduar.xml |title=Under Development (EU): Ulduar |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref> as well as the current residence of most of the [[titanic watcher]]s who have fallen under its influence.

[[Image:BMWC3.jpg|thumb|left]]
  
   
  +
Ulduar was implemented in [[patch 3.1.0]], intended to be one grade in difficulty above [[Naxxramas]].<ref name="UlduarPreview" /><ref name="UlduarPreviewUS">{{ref web |url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p1/ulduar.xml |title=Under Development (US): Ulduar |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref><ref name="Blizzcast3">{{ref web |url=http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/archive/episode3.xml |title=Blizzcast Episode 3 |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref>

Hailing from the secretive [[Pandaren Empire]], the mighty brewmasters travel the world in search of exotic ales and the finest brewed spirits. These affable warriors rarely seek out danger or trouble, preferring instead to spend their time concocting new and tasty beverages for any brave enough to imbibe them. However, if attacked, the laughing brewmasters bring all of their pandaren agility and ferocity to bear! They even bring their beer to war! They are peerless [[warrior]]s and world class [[drink]]ers all in one!<ref>http://www.battle.net/war3/neutral/pandarenbrewmaster.shtml</ref>
  
   
  +
Ulduar received good reception from the players who praised the instance's interior design, music, interesting and challenging boss encounters and the rich amount of lore. It is regarded by many to be greatest and most successful raid instance Blizzard has so far released.
−
A rare few pandaren walk outside of their culture's normal ways. Brewmasters are those pandaren given to a fondness for drink. Rather than them being relegated to some outcast place in society, however, pandaren highly regard those who show such a propensity. These pandaren, like all their kind, master a craft: theirs is the creation of ales, wines and other spirits.
 
   
  +
== Encounters by location ==
−
Yet the term "spirits" is not used facetiously among these folk, for those who would become brewmasters learn which plants, berries, and fungi harbor the most powerful spirits. They harvest these spirits and awaken them, allowing the one fortunate enough to drink one of these Master Brews to actually see and commune with the spirit.

The brewmasters learn their strange, drunken wardance from these spirits. Brewmasters are the only pandaren who are exempt from the strictures regarding the ability to create and destroy — in all things, the brewmasters are too busy listening to the spirits that swirl about within their heads to care what their peers think.{{Cite|MoM|80}}

Two brewmasters appear in the Blood Elf campaign. In the secret mission, one shows up in the final wave to try to stop the blood elves from escaping through the portal. The second one is a secret character. To get the Brewmaster, however, the player must survive all the waves of attackers on the tower defense style secret level, including defeating the alliance allied Pandaren. If successful, they'll control not only Kael & Vashj during the next mission, but also a random-named brewmaster.

Ten of the raid dungeon's fourteen encounters have [[hard mode]]s (different from normal and heroic modes).<ref name="TenHardModes">{{ref web |url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=15864749106&pageNo=4&sid=1#78 |title=World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -&gt; Ulduar Hard Modes - Who has 'em? |accessdate= 2009-03-24 |author=Daelo |date=2009-03-24}}</ref> Algalon the Observer is a hard mode-only but optional encounter.

The dungeon does not follow a completely linear progression; Yogg-Saron and Algalon the Observer are regarded as the most difficult encounters, and are accessible independent of each other.

==Loot==
  +
{{main|Ulduar loot}}
  +
  +
Items obtained in 10 and 25-man modes share the models, but vary in color. Set bonuses can be obtained when 10 and 25-man set items are worn together.<ref name="ChiltonInterview">{{ref web |url=http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/32786 |title=Legacy Items Unveiled - Page Two |accessdate= 2009-02-17 |author=Cody Bye |date=5-12-2008}}</ref>
  +
  +
Item levels range is between 219-232 (10-man) and 226-239 (25-man).
  +
  +
==Raid setup==
  +
'''The 10-man version'''
  +
* A Naxxramas-geared group should do fine with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 damage dealers. With better gear a healer might be replaced by a damage dealer.
  +
* For some encounters a tank or healer might switch to damage spec. A good example of this is [[Hodir (tactics)|Hodir]], where one frost resistance feral druid can tank both phases of the encounter.
  +
'''The 25-man version'''
  +
* Nearly full Naxxramas 25/Malygos 25 gear is highly recommended to start and absolutely required for the later encounters. Expect most encounters to require 6-7 healers for new groups. Three tanks are required for many of the encounters and some such as [[Thorim (tactics)|Thorim]] even benefit from a fourth tank.
  +
'''Comparison'''
  +
* See [http://pwnwear.com/about/ulduar-guide/ this article] for a detailed side-by-side comparison of the differences between 10 and 25 man Ulduar, specifically how abilities or strategies need to change.

Ulduar bosses

The Ulduar bosses

Ulduar is a raid dungeon in the titan complex of Ulduar which is located in the Storm Peaks. It serves as the prison of the Old God Yogg-Saron[1] as well as the current residence of most of the titanic watchers who have fallen under its influence.

Ulduar was implemented in patch 3.1.0, intended to be one grade in difficulty above Naxxramas.[1][2][3]

Ulduar received good reception from the players who praised the instance's interior design, music, interesting and challenging boss encounters and the rich amount of lore. It is regarded by many to be greatest and most successful raid instance Blizzard has so far released.

Ten of the raid dungeon's fourteen encounters have hard modes (different from normal and heroic modes).[4] Algalon the Observer is a hard mode-only but optional encounter. Encounters completed on hard modes reward achievements as well as extra and/or improved item rewards.[1][5] Siege vehicles play a role in the dungeon's first encounter, Flame Leviathan.[1]

The dungeon does not follow a completely linear progression; Yogg-Saron and Algalon the Observer are regarded as the most difficult encounters, and are accessible independent of each other.

Loot

Main article: Ulduar loot

Items obtained in 10 and 25-man modes share the models, but vary in color. Set bonuses can be obtained when 10 and 25-man set items are worn together.[6]

Item levels range is between 219-232 (10-man) and 226-239 (25-man).

Raid setup

The 10-man version

  • A Naxxramas-geared group should do fine with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 damage dealers. With better gear a healer might be replaced by a damage dealer.
  • For some encounters a tank or healer might switch to damage spec. A good example of this is Hodir, where one frost resistance feral druid can tank both phases of the encounter.

The 25-man version

  • Nearly full Naxxramas 25/Malygos 25 gear is highly recommended to start and absolutely required for the later encounters. Expect most encounters to require 6-7 healers for new groups. Three tanks are required for many of the encounters and some such as Thorim even benefit from a fourth tank.

Comparison

  • See this article for a detailed side-by-side comparison of the differences between 10 and 25 man Ulduar, specifically how abilities or strategies need to change.
