Things you can do in: Uldum

In Uldum, a list of things you could do.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Exploration

Explore Uldum - Explore the named locations in Uldum. A map can be found here, or you can get the Tom Tom coordinates from this comment. Contributes to the meta-achievements Explore Cataclysm and World Explorer.

Quests

Unearthing Uldum - Complete 108 quests in the zone. Contributes to the meta-achievement Loremaster of Cataclysm.

In a Thousand Years Even You Might be Worth Something - Complete the quest Harrison Jones and the Temple of Uldum, which is near the culmination of a very long chain beginning here.

Help the Bombarrdier! I'm the Bombadier! - Kill 10 Schnottz Troopers with one blast while doing the Fire From the Sky quest or daily. I hate this quest so much!

Dungeons

[Heroic] Lost City of the Tol'vir - Defeat Siamat. The heroic counts towards the metas Cataclysm Dungeon Hero and Defender of a Shattered World, and a guild group will earn credit for the Guild Cataclysm Dungeon Hero.

Kill It With Fire! - Kill 3 Burning Souls during the Barim fight. This counts for the meta Glory of the Cataclysm Hero.

* Provided you don't wipe during the encounter, this is a cumulative amount (you can kill 1 during one lockout, and 2 in the next and get credit). After entering the spirit world phase at 50%, soul fragments will spawn to heal the Dark Hatchling. Moving them into the flame patches gives them a debuff, making them Burning Souls. When a player gets the debuff announcing that their soul is splitting, they should move to put fire between themselves at the hatchling, forcing the soul to walk through the fire and get the debuff. The souls can be stunned. You do not need to kill the boss to get this.

Acrocalypse Now - Kill 20 Frenzied Crocolisks in 10 seconds during the Lockmaw encounter. This counts for the meta Glory of the Cataclysm Hero.

* The crocolisks spawn in groups of 4, so you will need to kite or offtank then until 5 groups have spawned. They apply a stacking bleed debuff. It's possible (as of this writing) for the dps and healer to stand on the crocolisk statues behind the boss, thus evading the crocs and avoiding Scent of Blood and poison splashes. When all 20 crocolisks have arrived, unleash AOE!

Headed South - Kill Siamat while having 3 stacks of the debuff Lightning Charge. This is a personal achievement. This counts for the meta Glory of the Cataclysm Hero.

* Killing the last add spawned causes phase 2 to begin - even if the first 2 adds spawned are still alive. Kill the third add first, then kill the other two as needed to prolong the buff and get 3 stacks by the time Siamat is about to die. Melee adds can be rooted to prolong having to deal with them. If struggling, consider having 2 healers, or a swing dps/heals in addition to the dedicated healer. Because it is a personal achievement, it may be easier to get 2 or 3 people on one attempt, and the rest the next day.

[Heroic] The Vortex Pinnacle - Kill Asaad. The heroic counts towards the metas Cataclysm Dungeon Hero and Defender of a Shattered World, and a guild group will earn credit for the Guild Cataclysm Dungeon Hero.

Extra Credit Bonus Stage -  Collect 5 Golden Orbs during one run of Vortex Pinnacle.

* These can be collected by any group member and is shared among all members. You can find a list of orb locations in this comment.

No Static at All - Don't get the Static Cling debuff at any point during the Asaad encounter.

* Asaad casts Static Cling throughout the fight after casting Chain Lightning, although the first cast is random. Jumping during the cast will prevent you from getting Static Cling. Some have said that dying during the encounter will also work. Levitate can also be used, however Ice Block and pally bubble cannot. This is a personal achievement.

[Heroic] Halls of Origination - Kill Rajh. The heroic counts towards the metas Cataclysm Dungeon Hero and Defender of a Shattered World, and a guild group will earn credit for the Guild Cataclysm Dungeon Hero.

I Hate That Song - Kill Anhuur without letting him sing Reverberating Hymn for more than 15 seconds.

* Every 33% Anhuur gains an invulnerable shield and channels the hymn. To bring down the shield you must use levers in the snake pit, however, the snakes will attack and interrupt the channel. Since they will respawn if killed, a well-geared tank and healer could have the tank pick up all the snakes before the fight and tank them throughout. Alternatively, a ranged dps and the healer can aggro the snakes before the dps jump down to get the levers. OR, the tank can jump down and aggro all the snakes, then run back to the boss while the dps are channeling the levers.

Straw That Broke the Camel's Back - Finish the Earthrager Ptah encounter still mounted on your camel.

* There are 5 camels that each party member can mount before beginning the encounter. You move at mounted speed and can cast and channel spells, so this is very convenient for the fight. It's an individual achievement, so provided you avoid the spikes and quicksand that damage your camel you should get this. The camels can also be healed.

Sun of a... - Kill Rajh before he completes an entire recharging phase.

* The boss starts out with 100 focus which is spent on each of his abilities. If he casts and interruptable attack (and it is successfully interrupted), that focus won't be lost. Also, tanking him in a corner means that more time will be spent walking into the center of the room to begin recharging. Remember to use Bloodlust and cooldowns, interrupt liberally, and don't waste too much time running around! If he hits 50% with 40 or more focus, reset.

Faster Than the Speed of Light - Kill all 4 minibosses in the Vault of Lights within 5 minutes of entering.

* Move as soon as Brann opens the doors, avoiding as many trogg packs as possible and killing each of the four minibosses. The achievement completes when the roleplay scene is finished, so there is no need to kill Anraphet. It is possible to soft reset the instance by porting out and waiting 30min for Brann to reset.

  1. Help the Bombarrdier! I'm the Bombadier! - Kill 10 Schnottz Troopers with one blast while doing the Fire From the Sky quest or daily. I hate this quest so much!

    I was cruising along through Uldum, just enjoying the show, when I got this Achievement. Until that moment, I had no idea the Achievement actually existed, much less knew that the quest would become a daily.

    I think it takes the same sort of 'distance firepower' mentality to become a Mage or Lock to appreciate that sort of daily, although I have to admit I'm not planning on going back and doing it again. I'd much rather mine Pyrite and Elementium.
