↖ The Legacy of Gnomeregan
If you start from Ironforge city in snowy Dun Morogh, Gnomeregan is just a short run away. This forty-player raid spans levels 29-34 and has an expansive layout with many robot/mech aspects that make it unforgettable such as elevators, consoles or even infamous landmine hallways. Players of Horde persuasion are expected to complete a quest line in Orgrimmar then unlock a teleporter in Booty Bay before reaching Gnomeregan; on the other hand, Alliance can easily access this place by running down the road from Ironforge.
↖ Key Features in Gnomeregan
- Elevator Challenge: Here hardcore players regularly gather as one wrong step means you lose all your world buffs.
- Trog Wave Event: The event concludes by exploding a trog cave which remains one of the most memorable parts throughout this raid.
- The Clean Zone: This area breaks up long stretches of fighting by having vendors and Sparkle Master 5200.
- Hall of Gears + Viscous Fallout: The bottom floor has Viscous Fallout boss with chances for accidental chain pulls of extra mobs.
↖ Evolution in phase 2
- Quest Dynamics: In the past, lots of quests to visit there have been hard or interesting (or both), while some top quests were only available to Alliance players. This time around there could be some more balance between factions when it comes to rewards for instance.
- Loot Upgrades: Even big names like Manual Crowd Pumeler or Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator are getting good upgrades. These will now have infinite uses and faster cooldowns, making them even better.
- Boss Mechanics: These bosses might be equipped with additional abilities because they are some of the best mechanics in the game. For instance, there could be an increase in bomb damage during Thermoplug fight making it harder.
