The Uldaman Graphic

Uldaman is an old, dwarven complex buried deep within the Khaz Mountains. It has become partially excavated, but has since fallen into the hands of the Dark Irons, who find the place ideal to dig for earthly riches. Uldaman is one of the three known ancient Titan cities in the world, the two others being Uldum in southern Tanaris and Ulduar in the northern reaches of Northrend, located at the Storm Peaks. Other Titan holdings are a complex beneath Bael Modan, southern Barrens and the vault known as Terramok, deep inside Maraudon, Desolace. The dungeon itself can be found in the Badlands, west of the entrance from Loch Modan. Its enemy level range is 35 to 47, and the minimum level required to enter it is 30.

History

From the World Dungeons page on the official World of Warcraft Community Site:

Uldaman is an ancient Titan vault that has laid buried deep within the earth since the world's creation. Dwarven excavations have recently penetrated this forgotten city, releasing the Titans' first failed creations: the Troggs. Legends say that the Titans created troggs from stone. When they deemed the experiment a failure, the Titans locked the troggs away and tried again - resulting in the creation of the dwarven race. The secrets of the dwarves' creation are recorded on the fabled Discs of Norgannon - massive Titan artifacts that lie at the very bottom of the ancient city. Recently, the Dark Iron dwarves have launched a series of incursions into Uldaman, hoping to claim the discs for their fiery master, Ragnaros. However, protecting the buried city are several guardians - giant constructs of living stone that crush any hapless intruders they find. The Discs themselves are guarded by a massive, sapient Stonekeeper called Archaedas. Some rumors even suggest that the dwarves' stone-skinned ancestors, the earthen, still dwell deep within the city's hidden recesses.

Quests

The main quest in Uldaman is to collect three gems belonging to a necklace of magical value. For the Alliance 15Alliance, it's Find the Gems and Restoring the Necklace (the two last quests of quest line) and for the Horde 15 Horde it's Find the Gems and Power Source (final part of quest line). The gems can be found by killing some of the dungeon's bosses.

Alliance

  • A [35] A Sign of Hope Find a Crumpled Map in the Badlands at Hammertoe's dig site (53,34), read that and take the quest to Prospector Ryedol south of there.
    • A [35D] A Sign of Hope (2) Find Hammertoe Grez in Uldaman. He's outside of the instance.
      • A [40D] Amulet of Secrets Get Hammertoe's Amulet by killing Magregan Deepshadow and return the amulet to Hammertoe.
  • A [40D] The Lost Dwarves From Prospector Stormpike in Ironforge Hall of Explorers.
    • A [40D] The Hidden Chamber Read Baelog's Journal, get the Inv jewelry amulet 01 [Gni'kiv Medallion] from the chest next to the journal, get the Staff of Tsol by killing Revelosh, combine the staff and medallion to make the Inv staff 01 [Staff of Prehistoria] that will open the Map Chamber. Kill Ironaya and enter the chamber.
  • A [47] The Platinum Discs (Alliance) Defeat Archaedas (final boss) and get the discs from the treasure room north of Archaedes. Take them to High Explorer Magellas in Ironforge

Horde Horde

  • H [39] Badlands Reagent Run This part is done elsewhere.
  • H [41D] Necklace Recovery Horde 4-step, starts in Orgrimmar
    • Part 1: Get the quest from the Droffers salvage shop in the Drag in Orgrimmar, then farm outside the cave entrance for the necklace. It's the same one for the alliance quest, but you can't right-click to start. That's what starts the Alliance part.
    • Part 2: Go back to Orgrimmar, trade it in, and go back to Uldaman. The paladin is inside the instance, pretty close to the start, and marked by a yellow dot.
    • Part 3,H [42D] Translating the Journal: Go to Jarkal in Kargath to strike a deal with him.
      • H [44D] Find the Gems and Power Source Get the topaz in a vase near the Lost Dwarves' camp, the ruby in a stone chest across from Galgann Firehammer, the sapphire drop from Grimlock the Trogg 'king', and the power source drop from the final boss, Archaedas.
        • H [44D] Deliver the Gems Go to Jarkal in Kargath, then Droffers in the Drag, then back to Jarkal again for final reward.
  • H [43D] Reclaimed Treasures Outside the instance. The quest log is perfectly accurate. Read it.
  • H [47D] The Platinum Discs The Discs are found at the end of the instance after the last boss is killed.

Neutral

  • N [30] Hardened Shells and N [30] Salt Flat Venom
    • N [35] Martek the Exiled
      • N [39] Indurium: Martek the Exiled wants the flakes of Indurium you can loot from Troggs in the Badlands.
        The completion of this quest opens up a quest at Pozzik in the Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles):
        • N [41] Keeping Pace: Pozzik wonders why the Brassbolts brothers' cars have gotten faster and thus wants you to steal their plans. But first you must distract Rizzle Brassbolts off his guard.
          • N [41] Rizzle's Schematics: Zamek activates a bomb that distracts Rizzle. Quickly enter the hut, read the plans, accept the quest and take the stone back to Pozzik. He then unlocks you a repeatable quest:
            • Neutral [none] Inv ore mithril 01 [Indurium Ore] (tb): This repeatable quest requires you to obtain 4 Indurium Ore samples to Pozzik. Indurium can be mined from Indurium Veins in the instance. Reward: 6 silver; yields no experience and no reputation points (as these goblins are factionless), but can be done an infinite amount of times.
  • N [36D] Power Stones This can be done inside and outside the instance. Drops from the dwarves. The quest is given by Rigglefuzz in Badlands.
  • N [40D] Solution to Doom The tablet is in the pre-instance of Uldaman in one of the halls. The quest itself is given by a dwarf named Theldurin the Lost in southern Badlands (51,76).

Notes, Tips, & Additional Info

  • Also known as Ulda or Uld.
  • Warning to Horde players: Killing the non aggressive hostile Hammertoe Grez in the tunnel leading to the instance will flag you for PvP. If you need any items from outside the instance (such as the Garrett Family Treasure or the Tablet of Ryun'eh) and you kill him, you will be open to attacks from Alliance grievers. It's recommended PvE players avoid this hostile.
  • Looking for the enchanting trainer? She's hiding behind a rock column. To get her to come out, you need to kill all the scorpids in her room.


As is the case with many other non-endgame instances, mobs in Uldaman are in a wide range of levels. The rub of Uldaman, and why many despise it, is the fact that there are so many quests spread out over so many levels. A level 36 character might reasonably want to get into an Uldaman group because by this time they might have acquired 3 or 4 quests that they would like to take care of. While a character of this level may reasonably expect to accomplish these quests, they can offer little help against the final boss. The best way to enjoy the Uldaman content is to plan on at least 2 excursions.

The first one would be aimed at accomplishing all of the outside-the-instance quests (generally, all the quests below level 40), slaying Ironaya and possibly the Obsidian Sentinel (for the Mage quest). During this expedition, you would hope to get the Shattered Necklace drop and deal with Hammertoe Grez' questline. This can be accomplished by as few as 2 or 3 well equipped and skilled players of level 36-39. With a carefully prepared questlog, you can complete a large number of high-XP quests in quite a short time. For doing these quests, a smaller group actually can work better because there's less competition for the drops (power stones) and it is easier to keep a smaller group focused on the objectives.

Your second foray into Uldaman, intended at completing The Shattered Necklace line, should not be undertaken until you are at least level 43 and, as always, your chances of success go up the higher level you and your group are. Insist on level 43 for people whose skill you trust and 45 for those who you do not know. With a level-appropriate group, it can take quite a while to clear to Archaedas and you will only get 2 or perhaps 3 shots at him before respawns happen. That being the case, be certain that you join a group where all the players are at least level 43 and are focused on the objective of downing Archaedas.
