When my guild attempted to get the Undying title we failed because our druid tank got iceblocked at Kel'thuzad and he had so much health the healers could not heal him sufficiently. The boss was below 10% health at the time. It was a soulcrushing experience.
I had a similar experience but undying was the easy one, it was Immortal that caused me grief. I put together a group of 20 men I believe for the 25 man dungeon, and we went in for several weeks attempting it. The very last lockout possible to get it we had a pro group, with unfortunately one weak link. I still remember it very clearly, we made it through the entire raid and on the very last boss, the polar + and - boss, someone died at the very end with about 5% health left on the boss. He died and the rest of us lived.. but we still didn't get the title. It was so close that we submitted tickets to Blizzard but they did nothing about it. I was so angry we missed The Immortal because it was my favorite title and we got screwed so hard by that one guy who messed up.
@@casedistorted my guild lost getting immortal, when KZ was at 3 % health he picked the tank for his mind control, which made the tank lose aggro , and a split second of this was longing enough for a hunter to pull aggro and get 1 shot by a frost bolt. good times good times
A shaman in our group jumped about like an idiot prior to Thaddius and died.....My old Shaman class leader was not amused at the guy I can tell you lol
I think there are two mistakes: - for "Conqueror of Ulduar", you don't have to kill all bosses in one go. If you kill a boss with no raidmember dying, that boss is "done", even if you wipe later in that raid. So you can split the achievement over as many runs as you want, and have as many wipes/deaths in between. You just had to kill each boss individually without anyone dying at some point. - for "Grand Crusader", you just had to complete the raid with 50 attempts left, so you couldn't wipe, but you were allowed to die. There is another FoS, "A Tribute to Immortality", where no raidmember was allowed to die, but that gave you the mount and not a title.
Pretty sure I was the last player to ever get "Hand of A'dal". I had an undead rogue that I raided with in BC, then shelved him until Legion with the quest still in his log. Finished the quest and got credit at the start of the expansion.
I had this last year with a 70 mage i reactivated, finished the quest at entry to BT, but didnt pop. they made a new version of the final quest that doesnt trigger the achieve. 4 weeks of tickets back amd two and they still wouldnt give it to me...
I had this on my paladin and got the title during Bfa, while doing the quest chain I had to kill kael, hadn't been there sins I got ashes of al'ar, and the mount dropped again. Then when I finished the quest I cleared BT for fun and off-hand dropped for my Pala...
@@dan3458 I bet you're just a bag of fun in social settings. The reason why I said I was "pretty sure" was because after a certain point, Blizzard changed the quest line and replaced the quest ID that gave the title with a quest ID that no longer gives the title. If you were on the very final leg of the quest, never dropped the quest, and had the vials in your inventory, you could get the title but only with a GM confirming that you completed the older quest ID. If you didn't yet have the vials, finishing the remaining quests would give you the newer quest ID and the GM would deny your request for the title. Considering that 7-8 years elapsed since the time that the raids were current content (and you could no longer get the title by starting the chain in later expansions), it's not anywhere out of the realm of reasonable expectation that there's a very slim chance of others still holding on to that one old quest.
If you can’t find group for nemesis quests there is one way how to do them. You need friend who will create trial characters ( with your nemesis quest race) then he will move all of those characters to place where you can meet him ( Tanaan Jungle is good) and all you have to do is kill his characters over and over again. It will take some time but I think you won’t find any groups doing that quest anyway. Good luck
I remember when we were done with other achievements, and raid leader announced we were working on "Immortal". It is crazy how that stupid achievement turned bosses we had on farm for months into the most nerve-racking encounters.
We almost had it but on the last possible lockout in our 20 man raid we formed, some guy died on our last encounter to the polarity +/- boss. We were all extremely angry with him and shunned him for screwing up so bad. We did the entire raid perfectly but he messed it up for us and every one of us lost it.
Grats! I finally got the drop on my lock (after all these years, lol). I envy you your title, but I'm happy to enjoy raining fel fire on my enemies even in Shadowlands. :)
I quit playing almost 10 years ago but I remember that during ICC our guild leader realised that the back-then-apex-guild of the server, that for several reasons disbanded after Lichking Serverfirst, never did the Deaths Demise Achivement. So we thought we might go there and get an easy title. WRONG. Our guild decided to put a hault on ICC raiding and instead switched over to progressing "Alone in the dark" (yogg+0) and man was that hard. Made even harder because didnt take long for a rivaling horde-guild to wonder what we were doing in Ulduar and they startet the progress themself. We eventually got it and I always felt super cool running arround with what in my opinion is the coolest titles you can have, at least in german: "Todesbote".
Erm... just a comment. Not a snowballs chance in Hades that Celesial Def was ahead of Death's Demise. Guilds got CD and then half a year later they would get DD. And Algalon is a joke w/ Bear tanks. Everything else? Got disenchanted. There was that.... sub X gear score number killing Algalon. But I understand why that is probably now a lot higher then what it was during Ulduar. People kept farming it w/ updated talents and what not a couple of xpacs after. But during Ulduar? It was stupid rare. I also have almost all these titles on my retail mail (Outside of Scarab Lord) and I could be wrong, but I dont remember Grand Crusader taking a perfect run. Just the first Guild to kill Anub. The no one dying thing was for the Horse from my memory.
Got the celestial defender title, and where SOOO close getting Grand Crusader, wiping with less than 10% left cos DC tank. The connection issues really where the hardest part of many of the titles on this list.
Same, didn't realize it was so rare. However, every time my 8 year old tells me his game is hard, I look at him and say GREEN FIRE QUEST. 🤣 I'm proud of the title but not the nearly 100 attempts.
Most of my wipes were when those army of imps spawned off the gate causing endless fps drops...and then boom! turned off their nameplates and life was semi-good and obtained it "after other multiple fail wipes at later stages" lol
8:05 Just wanted to add that this is perfectly doable today (without the title) and that they updated the spell effects so it does have quite the visual impact.
Same but i only have the Yogg and Algalon title because we only farmed PDOK once we had enough gear und never managed to clear the raid without dying....
Wow. Great video! I have 'The Undying' title on my main. Those Nax raids were a lot of fun back in the day with the old guild. Spare Heals or Tank armor. Good times.
This makes me realize that timegating content was introduced earlier than what I thought. And now I'm thinking about a detail that Ion Hazzikostas said during his recent interview, saying that some of their game design ideas for the game were passed by the veteran devs 🤔
lol, I had one more to go for hand of A’Dal and trashed it way back in Wrath lol…whatever. I prefer Narru one. Honestly was more of a pain to get. That was a looong chain, worse the Onyxia attuned
I remember doing that warlock green fire quest back then, the last fight was insanely hard and took me a week of attempts to finally beat it. Also it turns your mount green as a cool side note :)
The Hand of A'dal was also achievable after 3.0.2 if you still had the Vials of Eternity quest in your quest log from before the patch. That was how I got the title as I had not completed it previously. While the quest is still in the game, the quest ID was changed after WotLK came out so that if you picked it up after 3.0.2 it would not lead to receiving the title.
I did the current quest line for the warlock back in mop, that shit was incredibly hard at the time if you were slightly undergeared. Fun as hell though
@@sylermran I think I spent more time at that repair anvil just rethinking and rewatching other players beat it and starting all over again hoping this would be the attempt.
The TOGC realm first title was not an Immortal like title. You just couldn’t have a raid wipe for it. If everyone died besides 1 person and they finished the boss, you could still get the title, so long as you were the first raid on your server to clear the instance on heroic with no wipes. If you did TOGC 25man Immortality run, you would be rewarded with a mount. Also, Vanquisher title and CM titles were extremely rare, same with Rank 1 Gladiator titles.
I have the Undying title in retail and hate to say it but I am the reason why my group didnt get grand crusader...... =( those bug adds on Anub...... i missed 1 yep just 1 holy wrath and it cost us the title and rewards. When he says you had to perform flawlessly HE MEANS IT!!
There’s one more title that should have probably been included. “Mistwalker” it can only be obtained if you Held one of the fastest times in panadaria challenge modes. For example, if you got the fastest time in one of the scarlet monastery dungeons you got the temporary title of “Scarlet Commander” and at the end of MOP that title turned into “mistwalker” through a feat of strength.
I've got Grand Crusader, The Celestial Defender, Death's Demise, Conqueror of Ulduar, and The Immortal. One I really wish I got? "The Magic Seeker". Sounds so amazing, especially for a mage character. lol
So I got of the black harvest on my warlock in 2015, after years and years of ticketing for it. I did the quest about a week or two into 5.2, and quit playing MoP before they made the title a thing. Didn’t come back until the tail end of WoD, which was when my tickets actually got through. I sent them old screenshots of my UI’s, but what pushed it over the edge was actually footage of my CM runs from MoP where I had green fire active. After I sent them a ticket with a link to that video, they finally claimed to have “found the data for the achievement in their files”, but I’m convinced the video is what did it.
Getting that on my warlock is still one of my most favourite moments for all of wow. Took me like 20 attempts over 2 days but when I got it I was so happy
Yep it’s one of my favorite things as well I’ve ever done in wow. Classic has been fun but that title is something I really do enjoy having on my warlock. Took me several days of trying that fight up top too. Lol
I agree, the quest was epic. I rock the Black Harvest title on my Warlock all the time. All my other characters I change their titles around from time to time, but my Warlock always uses Of the Black Harvest. My heart was racing so much during that fight, and probably even more so when I beat it. But it was so worth it.
Correction on the scarab lord mount. it was NOT the "only legendary mount that could be obtained ever" as the phoenix from Tempest Keep used to be legendary too during both BC and Wotlk, not sure if it was in Cata or later that its rarity got changed for some reason (likely because they reused it for the dark phoenix & later pandaren phoenixes). (although that title is a bit of a sore spot/annoyance in that so many changed to new servers and got the title and mount until it was changed during/after wotlk, as many knows). Suppose the closest thing they've done to the big server-crashing 10h event, was the WoD launch where they forced the entire server into the same spot on the map to watch a cutscene and step through the dark portal. That really crippled everything, had a friend on lower populated realms that said it was mostly fine a day or two after, but i played on a high pop server and WoD was completely unplayable at launch... at least i wasn't one of those people that got stuck in the Garrison the whole time.
The 9th of December in 2009. We were a group consisting of 10 roleplayers and on that evening we got the 10-Man Version of the Grand Crusade. The Argent Defender.
I often wish there were ways to still obtain some of these. Obviously the Undying would be crazy to just hand out now that I can one shot everything inside Naxx, but maybe they could enable it during timewalking? Make it hard. That way the old people's work wouldn't be undermined but there would still be a way. The other one I really miss is the Field Medic title.
@@StaffordMagnus I wouldn't want them to just add them back for free. The Field Medic title for example would still be a long and tedious process to get and not many people would bother to get it just because they're available.
@@tomeekun I don't know what that title is, I quit towards the end of Cata, that said, my general rule of thumb for Blizz would be, titles or achievements that would be made easier by doing it at a higher level than it was originally intended for should be removed upon launc of the next Expac (and level cap increase). Having people being able to obtain rare titles at a higher level simply cheapens it for those who were dedicated or skilled enough to get it _at level._ Obviously this does not apply to all achievement titles, as an example, 'Insane in the Membrane' is made marginally easier by being a higher level, but it's still an enormous grind.
Conqueror of Ulduar is a title that my guild tried to get for months and we didnt make it. Either someone disconnected or someone died against Yogg or Mimiron. :D
Playing since the title was added I think I’ve only seen 5-6 other people that have it, it’s definitely up there. I see many of the ones listed here frequently. There are a few exceptions like grand crusader which I think I’ve only seen a few times over the years.
It’s quite common. I don’t wear it because I have Famed Slayer of the Harbinger though. Was one of a couple retribution paladins in the US to get that title. Probably the same for others.
@@michaelbeleut6480 The percentages he uses in the video for the amount of players that have earned the title are from wowhead. They have Azeroth's Champion less than 1% of the player base.
@@dwayneclarke1045 I know, he probably didn’t list it because everyone that managed to get the title probably still wears it. I see it over 30 times a day if I login.
I loved the long quest chains they used to have... do they still have them in the game ? (I quit half way during Cataclysm, came back briefly at the end of Panda then quit again at the start of WoD) ....
I remember getting the undying title back in the day. We 8 manned the 10man naxx because we had a disc priest healer who said he could do it without help. And sure as hell he did. Even was able to keep a hunter alive who disconnected during the sapphiron fight and got stuck in a blizzard. Crazy times. My favorite title for sure.
I have two of those, Black Harvest and Lady of War. Pretty much the only ones you can do solo, because I never was in a raid group who was good enough to do it AND cared about achievements.
Ah, that awesome feeling when you find out you have a “no longer obtainable” thing in wow, coz’ you didn’t know it was removed from the game. Now besides some mounts, toys and pets, the “of the black harvest” green fire warlock quest title suddenly sounds way cooler than before.
I had both Warlord of Draenor and Of the Black Harvest titles, and let me tell you, that Green Fire... it was the moment where I think I've felt the most proud about myself in my entire life, after a week of trying, and massive amounts of tears, pulled hairs, and possibly Blood... I got it when ToT was still current, though, mostly on PvP Gear + Raid Finder Trinkets, I remmeber I was even watching a guide (for like the 100th time) WHILE doing it.
Ahh the Black harvest title. I remember doing the quest and beating Kanrethad as I wasn't maining a Lock at the time but my friends and brother who did play Locks were always speaking of it in Guild Chat so i leveled my Lock and after watching a few vids from Aecthal modified his strat and beat the challenge. Eventually Blizz changed the mechanics of the fight tomake it "more doable" which I thought was silly but I didn't care. Was pretty neat and I got so many offers by other players to play their account to get them the green fire but I declined. Before the end of MoP I quit wow and came back in the middle of BFA. After 3 weeks of playing a guild mate stated I should have the title so I checked and I did not. So I sent in a ticket and the GM gave me the run around saying I had played the toon for 3 weeks so they didn't know if I had just got the green fire etc. After showing that I never set foot onthe isle since returning the higher ups (ticket was escalated up) the final answer was " We jsut don't feel right giving away such a prestigious title." Which was the exact words messaged to me by the GM. My response was "It's not a prestigious title" the GM replied " What do you mean?" and I answered "If the 7th player on my server doesn't have title it can't be very prestigious now can it?" He literally stated "ouch!" To be honest that was almost as gratifying as when I beat the challenge. Gosh I remember every detail of the fight and the very small things many guides didn't explain to people that i figured out on my own. Bitter sweet.
The Chosen title from Legion that required you to defeat all 3 bosses on mythic without dying is also pretty rare. The difference with this achievement is that it was all about you, if someone else in the grp died it didnt messed up the achievement. Also, along with the FoS achievement you also get the mythic version of the Chosen armor set. Tbh it was hard because doing it without a guild was almost guarantee failure because you needed random ppl in your grp to be doing their jobs during mechanics on Mythic ... yeah thats funny
You missed the most impressive of them all which was granted with the achievement Hot hot hot streak which was win 10 matches in a row above 2k rating. Also not sure if there is another video with impressive pvp titles?
I am proud of the titles from this list that I have. Death's Demise is the only title I use on my main though, but my alts will wear some of the others😊
dang Death's demise was one I always wanted. Yogg 0 Keepers was always one of the challenges I never got to do while Wrath was current. I am hoping when Wrath comes out to find a good guild for it and go back.
Realm first titles were really easy to get in cataclysm if your server had not yet a realm first done when it launched. Had a guildie who got Grand Crusader that way and wasn't even aware it hadn't already been done.
Rofl dang, those must've have been some new servers or low population. Even on our low/medium population server of Demon Soul they got Grand Crusader back when the patch launched.
Herald of the Titan and Scarab Lord were the two titles I've wanted the most. Unfortunately couldn't get. Also notably the Shattered Sun. I remember I had to pay 1k gold for it after getting exalted but I was grinding for epic mount and it's the title I see literally no one with. I wish I bought it looking back now. Also lost out on the immortal title on Kel at the last minute. Never attempted it again
Great vid! I probably wouldve replaced the garrison titles with the challenge mode titles for getting a realm first gold or something cuz those titles are really really cool like "shado pan defender" "dockmaster" "siegebreaker" etc etc
I technically got Hand of A'dal twice - due to getting it on 2 characters as I rerolled Paladin at the start of TBC, got the quest done (mostly) then rerolled back to my OG character a Shaman and completed it. I then rerolled again at the end of TBC and finished it, though I may have got it done earlier as we did alt raids and BT was considered easy at that point. Didnt know it was that rare though oO
Man I remember when Ulduar and ToC came out. I had just got my undying title and that content completely wrecked everyone. Crazy to see even now how lawless and hard it was made stands the test of wow history haha
I played a lot of Halo 3 during BC so I never got those. I did get Undying, Lady of War which I believe is still obtainable, of the black harvest was the most fun of these and pretty hard during 5.2 but it go so easy afterwards. I got it on both of my locks and a couple dozen players who may have paid me some gold do get it for them,
I think the rarest titles I own are the realmfirst titles from Naxx and Malygos and the one I went until the end "furious gladiator". Wrath was such a good time. Sad that the game just wasn't for me anymore after the first hour of panda. Classic was fun tho and brought me back to hirus videos. Keep up the good work.
Surprised the black harvest had such a low completion :o If memory serves right it was pretty difficult during ToT, but in SoO with the insane trinkets and gear upgrades.. Felt like you could murder him before his fight really started, with only a few ability loops. Memory may be a bit off... As it's a bit ago.
Getting ''of the Black Harvest'' cost me over 20k gold in repairs back then, as I was fighting the boss in full arena gear. Compared to that, Lord of War was a piece of cake to get.
There was a giltch with WoD and the gladiator's thing that if you faction changed with the quest you'd be able to permanently get two at a time. My DK has abandoned and retaken quests for ever and still has two at a time because it glitched when I switched from Horde to Ally.
Arena Master (completing all pvp achievements including 2200 in 5v5) and Vanquisher (top 1000 in arena tournament realm) What is the % of the playerbase that has obtained Vanquisher?
Hiru, I got a question for you! I hope you see it. I wanted to ask you how you track/find certain % statistics? I am trying to find how many people have earned achievement. Its PoA (kyrian) purple mog achieve. If you the means, could you please tell me? Thaaanks!
on Baelgun, I have 3 of these titles from Wrath, and if it wasn’t for work would of had deaths demise. Guild imploded in Cata but man do I miss being in a top guild. Sucks getting old.
I got Champion of Uldiar pugging it over a few months. Oddly I was closer to Conqueror for a long time, I ended up just missing out on it because of Thorim of all bosses..even after getting the Mimron kill in hard mode.
my guild was like 10% away from immortal, but our offtank died to a voidzone he couldn't see while tanking all the scarabs, heartbreaking I felt bad for the guy
Having both Lord of War and Warlord of the Draenor on my Paladin in Barthilas. It was quite a struggle indeed. I even used to play prot paladin back in WoD just to make sure Ashran had a tank for last boss, and no I have no knowledge to use it in pve scenario such as dungeon nor raid. I can confirm pandaren was the hardest, and I have no idea you can cheese it with 5 credits in a group either. But at the end of the day I am part of the few 2%. So it pays off I guess.
When my guild attempted to get the Undying title we failed because our druid tank got iceblocked at Kel'thuzad and he had so much health the healers could not heal him sufficiently.
The boss was below 10% health at the time.
It was a soulcrushing experience.

Wow. Great video! I have 'The Undying' title on my main. Those Nax raids were a lot of fun back in the day with the old guild. Spare Heals or Tank armor. Good times.
really enjoy these unobtainable videos
Oooooo I have champion of the Nauru and hand of adal. And undying. Didn't know those were rare. Cool!
This makes me realize that timegating content was introduced earlier than what I thought.
And now I'm thinking about a detail that Ion Hazzikostas said during his recent interview, saying that some of their game design ideas for the game were passed by the veteran devs 🤔
Shh... old wow good, new wow bad. Don't suggest some problems may have been around longer than people have whinged about them.
lol, I had one more to go for hand of A’Dal and trashed it way back in Wrath lol…whatever. I prefer Narru one. Honestly was more of a pain to get. That was a looong chain, worse the Onyxia attuned
Oh, the Green Fire quest. Was a lot of fun. Pretty challenging. Was glad I got to do it!
Champion of the Naaru is funny to me just because it's current content in classic right now and probably the most common title in classic right now
I remember doing that warlock green fire quest back then, the last fight was insanely hard and took me a week of attempts to finally beat it. Also it turns your mount green as a cool side note :)
Thanks for the vid. I've always been curious what other rare/unobtainable titles there are since seeing Hand of A'dal
Nice to see lots of the titles I have on this list :)
Breaker of the black harvest is the biggest highlight of my WoW life
Absolutely, I don't remember how many tries it took me, but remember my heart absolutely pounding as I finally got the kill.
The Hand of A'dal was also achievable after 3.0.2 if you still had the Vials of Eternity quest in your quest log from before the patch. That was how I got the title as I had not completed it previously. While the quest is still in the game, the quest ID was changed after WotLK came out so that if you picked it up after 3.0.2 it would not lead to receiving the title.
I did the current quest line for the warlock back in mop, that shit was incredibly hard at the time if you were slightly undergeared. Fun as hell though
blizz even knew it was hard cause they put a repair anvil at the last boss XD
@@sylermran I think I spent more time at that repair anvil just rethinking and rewatching other players beat it and starting all over again hoping this would be the attempt.
The TOGC realm first title was not an Immortal like title. You just couldn’t have a raid wipe for it. If everyone died besides 1 person and they finished the boss, you could still get the title, so long as you were the first raid on your server to clear the instance on heroic with no wipes. If you did TOGC 25man Immortality run, you would be rewarded with a mount. Also, Vanquisher title and CM titles were extremely rare, same with Rank 1 Gladiator titles.
I have done the Grand Crusader,but on a 10 man , achievement name "A tribute to Mad Skill",pre nerf 25 man must have been a nightmare.
I have the Undying title in retail and hate to say it but I am the reason why my group didnt get grand crusader...... =( those bug adds on Anub...... i missed 1 yep just 1 holy wrath and it cost us the title and rewards. When he says you had to perform flawlessly HE MEANS IT!!
Got The Immortal on my first attempt at getting the title. Naxx25 was indeed, extremely easy.
There’s one more title that should have probably been included. “Mistwalker” it can only be obtained if you Held one of the fastest times in panadaria challenge modes. For example, if you got the fastest time in one of the scarlet monastery dungeons you got the temporary title of “Scarlet Commander” and at the end of MOP that title turned into “mistwalker” through a feat of strength.
number 10 spot was 7% of the player base but mistwalker has 9% of the player base so it would have made the list if it was rarer.
Ahh ok, that’s good to know. Guess it’s not as rare as I thought >< lol
@@Balila_balbal_loki Wowhead says 0 %
@@sarazan2586 it's trash
I've got Grand Crusader, The Celestial Defender, Death's Demise, Conqueror of Ulduar, and The Immortal. One I really wish I got? "The Magic Seeker". Sounds so amazing, especially for a mage character. lol
So I got of the black harvest on my warlock in 2015, after years and years of ticketing for it. I did the quest about a week or two into 5.2, and quit playing MoP before they made the title a thing. Didn’t come back until the tail end of WoD, which was when my tickets actually got through. I sent them old screenshots of my UI’s, but what pushed it over the edge was actually footage of my CM runs from MoP where I had green fire active. After I sent them a ticket with a link to that video, they finally claimed to have “found the data for the achievement in their files”, but I’m convinced the video is what did it.
At least I got the black harvest title, but the green fire quest itself was great enough a reward.
Getting that on my warlock is still one of my most favourite moments for all of wow. Took me like 20 attempts over 2 days but when I got it I was so happy
Yep it’s one of my favorite things as well I’ve ever done in wow. Classic has been fun but that title is something I really do enjoy having on my warlock. Took me several days of trying that fight up top too. Lol
@@bakerfx4968 same ill never forget that moment, i remember i also spend ALL my gold on repairs .. it took me +150 tries
I agree, the quest was epic. I rock the Black Harvest title on my Warlock all the time. All my other characters I change their titles around from time to time, but my Warlock always uses Of the Black Harvest. My heart was racing so much during that fight, and probably even more so when I beat it. But it was so worth it.
Correction on the scarab lord mount. it was NOT the "only legendary mount that could be obtained ever" as the phoenix from Tempest Keep used to be legendary too during both BC and Wotlk, not sure if it was in Cata or later that its rarity got changed for some reason (likely because they reused it for the dark phoenix & later pandaren phoenixes).
(although that title is a bit of a sore spot/annoyance in that so many changed to new servers and got the title and mount until it was changed during/after wotlk, as many knows).
Suppose the closest thing they've done to the big server-crashing 10h event, was the WoD launch where they forced the entire server into the same spot on the map to watch a cutscene and step through the dark portal. That really crippled everything, had a friend on lower populated realms that said it was mostly fine a day or two after, but i played on a high pop server and WoD was completely unplayable at launch... at least i wasn't one of those people that got stuck in the Garrison the whole time.
The 9th of December in 2009. We were a group consisting of 10 roleplayers and on that evening we got the 10-Man Version of the Grand Crusade. The Argent Defender.
I often wish there were ways to still obtain some of these. Obviously the Undying would be crazy to just hand out now that I can one shot everything inside Naxx, but maybe they could enable it during timewalking? Make it hard. That way the old people's work wouldn't be undermined but there would still be a way. The other one I really miss is the Field Medic title.
Bliz is just incapable of balancing properly to make it the same difficulty as it was.
either that or they could add extra limits to the achievement in regards to player level and gear worn, like Herald of the Titans.
Nar, OG titles are a small reward for having played the game for so long. Titles, legendaries, etc aren't special if everyone has them.
@@StaffordMagnus I wouldn't want them to just add them back for free. The Field Medic title for example would still be a long and tedious process to get and not many people would bother to get it just because they're available.
@@tomeekun I don't know what that title is, I quit towards the end of Cata, that said, my general rule of thumb for Blizz would be, titles or achievements that would be made easier by doing it at a higher level than it was originally intended for should be removed upon launc of the next Expac (and level cap increase).
Having people being able to obtain rare titles at a higher level simply cheapens it for those who were dedicated or skilled enough to get it _at level._
Obviously this does not apply to all achievement titles, as an example, 'Insane in the Membrane' is made marginally easier by being a higher level, but it's still an enormous grind.
Your biggest fan here! I'm so glad you didn't give up on wow!
Conqueror of Ulduar is a title that my guild tried to get for months and we didnt make it. Either someone disconnected or someone died against Yogg or Mimiron. :D
azeroth's champion would have to be up there.
Playing since the title was added I think I’ve only seen 5-6 other people that have it, it’s definitely up there. I see many of the ones listed here frequently. There are a few exceptions like grand crusader which I think I’ve only seen a few times over the years.
It’s quite common. I don’t wear it because I have Famed Slayer of the Harbinger though. Was one of a couple retribution paladins in the US to get that title. Probably the same for others.
@@michaelbeleut6480 The percentages he uses in the video for the amount of players that have earned the title are from wowhead. They have Azeroth's Champion less than 1% of the player base.
@@dwayneclarke1045 I know, he probably didn’t list it because everyone that managed to get the title probably still wears it. I see it over 30 times a day if I login.
Got the Grand Crusader back in the day, rocking it on my pally as it fits him perfectly :)
I loved the long quest chains they used to have... do they still have them in the game ? (I quit half way during Cataclysm, came back briefly at the end of Panda then quit again at the start of WoD) ....
Managed to get *Of the Black Harvest* back in the day. Had an idea for a top 10 video, most interesting or most useful archeology items.
I remember getting the undying title back in the day. We 8 manned the 10man naxx because we had a disc priest healer who said he could do it without help. And sure as hell he did. Even was able to keep a hunter alive who disconnected during the sapphiron fight and got stuck in a blizzard. Crazy times. My favorite title for sure.
The green fire quest when it was current is still the most fun and challenging thing I have ever done in wow to this day !
I have two of those, Black Harvest and Lady of War. Pretty much the only ones you can do solo, because I never was in a raid group who was good enough to do it AND cared about achievements.
I got the Scourge of the Kaldorei title in BFA for... reasons :3
Troll player ?
probably some moon guard reference
@@Roshea pretty sure it's a burning of Teldrassil moment
Got Champion of the Naaru and Hand of A'dal on KT pre-nerf.. those were good times
Ah, that awesome feeling when you find out you have a “no longer obtainable” thing in wow, coz’ you didn’t know it was removed from the game. Now besides some mounts, toys and pets, the “of the black harvest” green fire warlock quest title suddenly sounds way cooler than before.
I had both Warlord of Draenor and Of the Black Harvest titles, and let me tell you, that Green Fire... it was the moment where I think I've felt the most proud about myself in my entire life, after a week of trying, and massive amounts of tears, pulled hairs, and possibly Blood... I got it when ToT was still current, though, mostly on PvP Gear + Raid Finder Trinkets, I remmeber I was even watching a guide (for like the 100th time) WHILE doing it.
Ahh the Black harvest title.
I remember doing the quest and beating Kanrethad as I wasn't maining a Lock at the time but my friends and brother who did play Locks were always speaking of it in Guild Chat so i leveled my Lock and after watching a few vids from Aecthal modified his strat and beat the challenge. Eventually Blizz changed the mechanics of the fight tomake it "more doable" which I thought was silly but I didn't care.
Was pretty neat and I got so many offers by other players to play their account to get them the green fire but I declined.
Before the end of MoP I quit wow and came back in the middle of BFA. After 3 weeks of playing a guild mate stated I should have the title so I checked and I did not.
So I sent in a ticket and the GM gave me the run around saying I had played the toon for 3 weeks so they didn't know if I had just got the green fire etc.
After showing that I never set foot onthe isle since returning the higher ups (ticket was escalated up) the final answer was " We jsut don't feel right giving away such a prestigious title."
Which was the exact words messaged to me by the GM. My response was "It's not a prestigious title" the GM replied " What do you mean?" and I answered "If the 7th player on my server doesn't have title it can't be very prestigious now can it?" He literally stated "ouch!"
To be honest that was almost as gratifying as when I beat the challenge. Gosh I remember every detail of the fight and the very small things many guides didn't explain to people that i figured out on my own.
Bitter sweet.
just came by to say I love this channel even tho I stopped playing wow a year ago.
The Chosen title from Legion that required you to defeat all 3 bosses on mythic without dying is also pretty rare. The difference with this achievement is that it was all about you, if someone else in the grp died it didnt messed up the achievement. Also, along with the FoS achievement you also get the mythic version of the Chosen armor set. Tbh it was hard because doing it without a guild was almost guarantee failure because you needed random ppl in your grp to be doing their jobs during mechanics on Mythic ... yeah thats funny
You missed the most impressive of them all which was granted with the achievement Hot hot hot streak which was win 10 matches in a row above 2k rating. Also not sure if there is another video with impressive pvp titles?
I was so inspired by your videos
hirumaredx that I made one of my own!
I am proud of the titles from this list that I have. Death's Demise is the only title I use on my main though, but my alts will wear some of the others😊
dang Death's demise was one I always wanted. Yogg 0 Keepers was always one of the challenges I never got to do while Wrath was current. I am hoping when Wrath comes out to find a good guild for it and go back.
Keep up the good work m8 love your vids ;)
I wonder how many people have Azeroth's Champion. You needed to play multiple types of content at very high level in order to get it
Realm first titles were really easy to get in cataclysm if your server had not yet a realm first done when it launched. Had a guildie who got Grand Crusader that way and wasn't even aware it hadn't already been done.
Rofl dang, those must've have been some new servers or low population. Even on our low/medium population server of Demon Soul they got Grand Crusader back when the patch launched.
Herald of the Titan and Scarab Lord were the two titles I've wanted the most. Unfortunately couldn't get.
Also notably the Shattered Sun. I remember I had to pay 1k gold for it after getting exalted but I was grinding for epic mount and it's the title I see literally no one with. I wish I bought it looking back now.
Also lost out on the immortal title on Kel at the last minute. Never attempted it again
I had three of these. Hand of A’dal, of the black harvest and Grand Crusader. Realm of Terokkar Horde since 2007. For the Horde !!
What about The Undaunted or The Proven Defender/Damage Dealer/Healer Endless Wave 30?
Warlord of Draenor is probably my proudest title, although I did it when it was current content so “easier” than it is now.
Great vid! I probably wouldve replaced the garrison titles with the challenge mode titles for getting a realm first gold or something cuz those titles are really really cool like "shado pan defender" "dockmaster" "siegebreaker" etc etc
I got the Black Harvest achievement. One of the coolest wow event i've ever done. Spent so much time figuring out how to beat it.
I technically got Hand of A'dal twice - due to getting it on 2 characters as I rerolled Paladin at the start of TBC, got the quest done (mostly) then rerolled back to my OG character a Shaman and completed it. I then rerolled again at the end of TBC and finished it, though I may have got it done earlier as we did alt raids and BT was considered easy at that point. Didnt know it was that rare though oO
What’s the name of the addon for the quest test box he is using?
I earned (vanilla) Grand Marshal and Grand Crusader during WotLK. I haven’t met anyone else with the same two titles, but I know you’re out there.
Isn't there the Mad lad title or something like that in WOTLK where you got to farm ravenholdt, shen'dralar and all that ?
Also there was the " Conquerror of Naxxramas" looking very pretty cool and proud to wield that, also looking to get atleast that one in WotLK classic.
Man I remember when Ulduar and ToC came out. I had just got my undying title and that content completely wrecked everyone. Crazy to see even now how lawless and hard it was made stands the test of wow history haha
Thanks for doing this!
I played a lot of Halo 3 during BC so I never got those.
I did get Undying, Lady of War which I believe is still obtainable, of the black harvest was the most fun of these and pretty hard during 5.2 but it go so easy afterwards. I got it on both of my locks and a couple dozen players who may have paid me some gold do get it for them,
Yay. Hand of A'Dal was one I was able to get :D
And Black Harvest.
I think the rarest titles I own are the realmfirst titles from Naxx and Malygos and the one I went until the end "furious gladiator". Wrath was such a good time. Sad that the game just wasn't for me anymore after the first hour of panda. Classic was fun tho and brought me back to hirus videos. Keep up the good work.
Hey, here's an idea for a video:
Top 10 non CD healing abilities of all times. There's a lot from where you can choose!
oh so thats why my dad never stops talking about his locks title, nice video!
Surprised the black harvest had such a low completion :o If memory serves right it was pretty difficult during ToT, but in SoO with the insane trinkets and gear upgrades.. Felt like you could murder him before his fight really started, with only a few ability loops. Memory may be a bit off... As it's a bit ago.
Surprised Famed Slayer of the Harbinger wasn’t listed here. Was one guild of the 40ish alliance guilds worldwide that got that. It’s crazy.
Getting ''of the Black Harvest'' cost me over 20k gold in repairs back then, as I was fighting the boss in full arena gear. Compared to that, Lord of War was a piece of cake to get.
I'm surprised you didn't include the titles obtained from the Challenge Modes in MoP like Flame-weaver, Mogu Slayer etc.
thought the same. also arena master and rank1 titles not on the list. like wtf?
whats the music at the grand crusader chapter ?
I'm curious is arena master still obtainable today I had that in cata
Farming the Gladiator garrion titles was a wild ride, especially trying to kill 500 pandaren.
I really miss the villains corner videos and videos like that. Would you ever consider bringing back that series?
took me about 2 hours a day for about a month to get my green fire... but worth it when you got to show it off.
Hey kiru, Just Out of curiosity: which Country are you from and how old are you?
Nice vid, Always enjoy your stuff :)
There was a giltch with WoD and the gladiator's thing that if you faction changed with the quest you'd be able to permanently get two at a time. My DK has abandoned and retaken quests for ever and still has two at a time because it glitched when I switched from Horde to Ally.
Arena Master (completing all pvp achievements including 2200 in 5v5) and Vanquisher (top 1000 in arena tournament realm)
What is the % of the playerbase that has obtained Vanquisher?
Hiru, I got a question for you! I hope you see it.
I wanted to ask you how you track/find certain % statistics?
I am trying to find how many people have earned achievement. Its PoA (kyrian) purple mog achieve. If you the means, could you please tell me? Thaaanks!
on Baelgun, I have 3 of these titles from Wrath, and if it wasn’t for work would of had deaths demise. Guild imploded in Cata but man do I miss being in a top guild. Sucks getting old.
I got Champion of Uldiar pugging it over a few months.
Oddly I was closer to Conqueror for a long time, I ended up just missing out on it because of Thorim of all bosses..even after getting the Mimron kill in hard mode.
What about all the Elite PvP Titles like Wrathful Gladiator etc?
my guild was like 10% away from immortal, but our offtank died to a voidzone he couldn't see while tanking all the scarabs, heartbreaking I felt bad for the guy
Having both Lord of War and Warlord of the Draenor on my Paladin in Barthilas. It was quite a struggle indeed. I even used to play prot paladin back in WoD just to make sure Ashran had a tank for last boss, and no I have no knowledge to use it in pve scenario such as dungeon nor raid. I can confirm pandaren was the hardest, and I have no idea you can cheese it with 5 credits in a group either. But at the end of the day I am part of the few 2%. So it pays off I guess.
