I wish the challenge would come from the fights being hard instead of from there being a time limit. Not very fun, in my opinion, because I can't take any time to enjoy the mystery without being punished for taking too long.
I can get through the 4 shrines and usually at least 2 of the portals on my pally if my rng just completely sucks balls. Personally I think its easier to do in prot than ret. I choose the tank talent for chromie and take the hand of protector talent to be my primary heal for her. Tossing 1 hand on her will usually max her out which equates to a 100% damage increase for her, while I actually do the tanking. Its a pretty easy way to keep her topped off especially considering the the short cooldown. Think mine was right about 6.5 seconds without the talent that decreases it with shield of the righteous use. Another tip - I use one of my legendary WoD rings basically just for a stat stick as the use effect doesn't work, but its a big chunk of strength in a slot where you wouldn't normally have it which is never bad :-) I also use anything with a speed increase effect as well. Still haven't completely finished it, but have come really close. Maybe these tips will help push someone thats teetering on the precipice of completion the rest of the way over. Good luck!
tgyo99 don't bother with the ones that just drop the explosives, not worth the time. Just get the things to melt the armor and kill the canon yourself. But yeah, if you're a pally you aren't doing this in one go. Fortunately, you don't need to. It was actually designed to have you do them seperately.
EXCELLENT GUIDE! Thank you! EDIT 3hrs later: back, and completed. Andorhal Stratholme items and three minutes of extra time. Thank you again. I only had the two starter talents from Chromie.
Thanks for the guide Mr Gurgle, it helped me. I wasn't aware there were 5 rares, only 4, and the pointers about the chests helped a tonne. RNG finally blessed me and made me able to do it, got 2 shrines skips and 2 portal-skips (Andorhal and Hyjal). Chromie also didn't decide to pull extras. So stars aligned, and I am now equipped in the ugliest gear I could possibly have won for this stress! :P
this is pure rng. I beat it on a run where the 3 chest in cave didn't spawn, the one on platform at azure didn't spawn, and the one at emerald didn't spawn and I got but despite that I got box for statholme and andorhal and really good mob pathing for well so I still beat it with 5 min to spare. seems like all that matters is good stratholme rng and then getting a second box for any of the other zones, andorhal being second best. edit: obv your path helped a ton mmrrggll just like all of your guides do but it's a little frustrating that I didn't do anything particularly better than my other runs yet beat the scenario with over 5 min to spare. huge rng swing.
I just finished it with 2 minutes remaining as a holy paladin (130 extra seconds from stolen time). Totally doable by healers. Just remember, Chromie being full health is way more important than you getting in some extra attacks. Also, if you are a healer and are confident in your abilities you cam pull large packs and group them up; Chromie does splash damage. For example: in the Obsidian Dragonshrine cave I pulled every mob up to the chests and grouped them, and Chromie killed almost everything in one hit. You can't be skittish in this scenario with only two talents so far! Also, as I was fighting the last boss in Well of Eternity--my final credit to finish--I started DCing and it gave me a god damn heart attack. It reconnected me with 1 minute left to click the portal. Good luck, fellow healers!
Well of eternity killed so many of my runs as a healer, I'm bad at dodging adds. This was really fun as disc though. you get the 500% buff AND all your damage.
Well I decided to be holy healer and it's made a little difficult but I think by far. You're the best video of all of them that i've watched... That's more thorough...ty for the share
I must say you have some godlike RNG I didn't even know those free passes like the Kara key was a thing and I've been doing it for 3 hrs already, thx for this guide though I'll be getting this tmrw for sure
Did this on an 889 balance druid (don't see how ilvl matters because you are scaled to 1000 ilvl) With only a defiled augment stone did this with no cc at all as well. Took me 8 hours to do because I have no luck. Edit: Also a few things to note, you cannot get the item that allows you to skip a Chrono portal event if you have not completed the event for the corresponding portal normally i.e doing the full event(yes, even with a stratholme key I wasn't able to beat it with that alone). It is extremely difficult to do this without at least two items to skip the Chrono portal, not impossible but you have to be fast(at least this was the case for me). Last, do the shorter Chrono portals first if you didn't get the Stratholme key because you get sands of time from the other portals increasing your chance for a key or giving you more time.
Wow, great job! You did this all in only 15 min? I am horrible at time crunch quests. Thanks for posting video. I will be watching it again and again :)
This is the 8th time im watching this video, not beacuse I didn't understand it the first time but im just playing it in the background. Your voice is so calming lol. Thanks man im chillin hard
It should be noted that for Anderhol, the locations shown are for Alliance only. Horde players need to collect the items from the alliance area to the south. The two named guys you need are Potionmaster something-or-other and some very Gnome-ish name.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND, I JUST FINISHED IT USING YOUR ROUTE, I didn't get the 3 chests in black, or the one in green, only the one in blue. I got the strath key, off my 1st magnataur, the brimstone off the 2nd wave in hyjal, and the adornhal orders off the strath boss. I finished well with 16sec left and got back to the present with 2 sec remaining. However I still saw her get killed by what looked like bronze drake magic (gold and sandy) I had the tier 3 perk, but like you chose the bad option.
Just did this on my arms warrior after watching this video. And i didnt even get the 3 chests in the Obsidian Dragonshrine either. Thanks man great vid
That was my first thought as well when I saw this the first time. It's tedious enough constantly having to deal with timers for Mythic+, I really didn't want to see more "GOTTA GO FAST" content, especially in something casual like this.
I do, I know fully well that challenge means that planning and skill should lead to victory. And if not, devise a new plan and get better to overcome the challenge. I understand that this scenario is supposed to require a plan like Mmrrggll executes in this video. But listen to what he says. It rides VERY heavily on what drops you get. Do you get the 3 chests in the cave? How many per chest? Do you get 1 or 2 Sands of Time from the additional rare mobs? Do those Sands of Time you loot just drop 10 second time extenders or the skip items that save you precious time in the scenario? Do you get the skip item for the really quick Hyjal one? Or the slow as heck Stratholme one? What if no skip items drop at all? When I say "pseudo-time-gated RNG" I mean that right now as the scenario is new, you have to rely heavily on good RNG in order to succeed. That's not challenging, it's annoying. If you aren't getting good luck in your attempts, unlocking more of Chromie's talents will help you along. But those are time gated. 24 hour wait times for a single talent. I tried this exact route mmrrggll used in this video with the same talents and bonuses, and roughly the same damage output. But it took me so. many. attempts until I finally got a good roll where all my Sands of Time gave me 5 skip items total, meaning I only had to do 3. I hadn't improved any more since the first attempt, I just got lucky. Luck =/= Challenge.
There are two spawn locations for chests in every shrine. With the Obsidian Dragonshrine though, do what he said, do not skip chests in the other shrines!
On the last part of Well you can actually just mount up and run all the way to the demon boss, kill him and run to the portal. Most enemies won't really reach you until after you have killed the boss.
hey, in my experience, it's actually faster and easier to hug the left mountainside at the beginning of the well of eternity scenario, was able to avoid any mobs until reaching the second portal
7/8 so far. I just can never get 2 skips of the portals. I tried my best but usually I leave the Stratholm for last cause I know that if I do not get at least bonus time, I wont make it. 4 times in a row now i have 2-3 bonus minutes left at the bookshelf at Stratholm and Chromie just buggs out and doesnt open it. Oh well, hope for better luck tomorrow! Nice video tho!
I did it on my frost death knight! And boy is there some heavy RNG at play. I got a really lucky roll though. The first rare dropped TWO skip items. Stratholme and Hyjal. The next 2 rares each dropped Skip drakes for the Ruby and Azure dragonshrines. I cleared the Black Dragonshrine, got the bonus chests and got 9 Sands of Time. And guess what I got. One more skip item, for Well of Eternity. So all I had to fully clear from there was the Emerald Shrine and Andorhal. Finished with 3 minutes to spare. This event started out fun, ended up annoying, and ended up fun again when RNG was on my side. I'm just glad I finished it and got my mog. Now I'll just farm Timewalking Badges and bronze whelps, and get back to the fun of it.
I personally find strathome one of the faster ones for my spec, Later into the run when you have fast movement speed, I found it easier to do compared to anderhol which took the longer out of the four for me. I did completed the mission by skipping andorhol on my run. Once you know strathome and buy all the items in one circuit, hand it in and go to the townhall its very easy, especially if your cooldown heavy. If your lucky enough to get two shrine skips anyone can do this easy, its almost what your looking for at this point in the talents.Also affliction warlock is crazy compared to what I had to deal with.
I did not know about the rares around the wyrmrest temple and the dragonshrines. Otherwise this path was similar to the one I used. I got lucky when I did my chromie run after finding out about the rares from this video, got 3 bronze drakes and got a stratholme gate key AND tyrande's moonstone. Got to skip straight to the end of the two longest chronoportals for me and finished with 50 stolen seconds to spare.
List of bugs I got (minor and major) 1.) The apathy syndrome bug Chromie will teleport around, but do NOTHING at all. I got it twice in Andorhal and once in Stratholme (Never did a run without a key again after that, because I could've finished it that run if it wasn't for the bug) 2.) The "Elsa"-Bug Chromie will stay frozen after killing the boss at the ruby shrine. Happened about every 2nd run to me. 3.) The "I'm drunk and can't walk straight"-bug/glitch/problem Chromie will run around like a fucking madman when you're mounted, pulling everything in the process. Happened basically everywhere, but was particularly frustrating in the Well of eternity. It was also a minor nuisance when I tried getting the chest in Hyjal without pulling the group with the 3 elementals. Other problems: The well of eternity is too annoying. You might not have had any problem with your insane DPS and ranged Damage, but as a warrior, I had extreme problems with slows, stuns and Chromie standing around and pulling patrols while I can't get to her due to slows. You'll still get reputation from the sands of time, even after being maxed out. Removing it for everyone who's already done with the rep would a) reduce the RNG a bit and b) give a reason other than the title to do the rep before anything else. Classes are clearly unbalanced. Affliction warlocks kill basically everything in about 10 seconds, including bosses, while other specs and classes stand around hitting them for minutes. There definitely has to be done some balancing. There's no achievement for completeing the whole challenge for the first time. This is just a minor nitpick, but I'd like to brag about completeing it pretty early a bit. ^^ Still, I eventually made it through on my fury warrior (which isn't even my main) and even though this sounded mostly negative and salty (which I was for large chunks of the challenge) I had fun with it. This is the kind of content we need more of. Not only does it have high replayability value, but it's also a chunk of lore. And I'm always down for some timetravel stories. Still, some things could've been addressed, since it's been tested thoroughly in the beta.
wow. just wow. you made that smooth. Mmrrggll whats your iLvl? I only ask because I'm at 900 still and got totally shredded by the bigger adds in Obsidian Shrine and then not the Captains but the bigger guys in Andorhaal. I did not yet make it thru to well, strat, or the other one. kept running out of time and hp in Andorhaal after the 4 shrines. Thanks for another kickass video. keep it up. we appreciate em.
AlCap0le all gear is scaled to Ilvl 1000 and every class can do it, teir is disabled as well and balance is actually a really strong class for it with the multi dots and starfall damage, plus with resto affinity you gain a lot of health in addition to chromies heal, as well as being able to stealth past many things, just takes some good rng and skill
I gave up on this quest after spending 2 months gearing up and trying to beat it. I'm a 903 mage and still got one shot by those elites. So I delete all chromie quests and gave up. Waste of subscription money but this is indeed a boring, difficult quest for me
Wow, every shrine has 2 chest spawns, usually always spawn at least one. WoE's 2nd chest is to the right after the last trio of mobs in the 2nd half. you can spot it from the stair, it'll be on the circular floor pattern to your right. Never saw this one though, the wowhead guide comments only said the one you found was "unknown". Very good eye mate :)
After hours of doing this, I had 3 mins to spare and I finished it. But, because it said "Return to present time" I assumed I had to take the portal back to "present time". So I did, and I guess now that means I have to pray to the rng gods once more
TYVM! As a filthy casual who is ruining gaming, I am looking to get this done once I have some buffs. So it seems to me that until I am max rep or am doing a timed run, I would want to always choose Chromie rep not the one-time buffs. Then when doing a timed run attempt never choose rep? That seem reasonable?
Mmrrggll I see all the stuff you have on your right side bar. If you do add-ons you should look into Autobar i have been using it for MANY years it's a great mod and I even support the dev now.
compared to this is arms warrior a nightmare, lower dmg, some fights bring me down to under 10% HP (with deff cooldowns), and the worst things are the flying casting phoenixes on that hyjal part
As a moderately well geared enhancement shaman this is not possible. Thanks blizz for handing content to some classes and blocking it from shaman as usual.
I did it on my WW first without knowing about the 3 chests in the obsidian cave and it was pretty tough. On my Ret it was pretty much the same deal.. you really need that lucky try. On my Affli this scenario close to a cakewalk. You are doing about 30% more dmg than WW or Ret and you also have very good self sustain from the healing. But I did'nt manage to complete it yet, because Stratholme always bugs out and Chromie is just standing still and occasionally porting to you. I was in Strat 3 times now with about 5min left, but if you get no key and Chromie bugs out, you cannot complete it unfortunatly. I wont try it again until this issue is fixed.. to frustrating.
Just a heads up, the reward transmog items are neither NEW nor AWESOME. They are recolored shit items from the Cata End Time dungeons. Just google "Death of Chromie transmog reward" and look for yourself. Personally, this whole thing is NOT worth it for the shit reward you get.
did it without any rare spawns or trash on the dragons 1. kill all dragon bosses (KEEP sands of time, don't spend) 2. hand in quest then use all 7 sands of time. 3. do the portals u got items for from the sands 4. use your new sands 5. do whatevers left the aim here is to get: 1. a stratholme key 2. the Canadian circle item for the cannon portal the other portals are quite fast enjoy!
the andorhal one is the best one for me to do as a pally tank, i make a huge pile of the elited and get around 10 sands. not possible for dps i guess :P
Any healers here know if it's possible with Chromie as a tank? Before I switched to Resto, I was using Balance, and I had trouble getting past the elites from the dragonshrines with Chromie as a healer. She wasn't healing me, no matter how low my health was. The AI is better at tanking than it is at healing imo. I can heal Chromie fine after pulling a shit ton, so I assume it's possible, but I'm waiting until I can get all of the talents for more Sands of Time & better items from it. Already got my title and I could care less about the transmog, but I want to at least give it a try a few times.
Wow, this by far the best guide I've been able to find on this. Thank you for explaining everything so well.
I wish the challenge would come from the fights being hard instead of from there being a time limit. Not very fun, in my opinion, because I can't take any time to enjoy the mystery without being punished for taking too long.
what I learned from this... warlocks are OP as hell.. takes my pally three times as long to kill any of those elites
tgyo99 Same. Watching this guy burn through elites and hop around melting things like a damn flamethrower makes me so jealous ;(
Look at dps meters, retribution pala is at the very bottom.
I can get through the 4 shrines and usually at least 2 of the portals on my pally if my rng just completely sucks balls. Personally I think its easier to do in prot than ret. I choose the tank talent for chromie and take the hand of protector talent to be my primary heal for her. Tossing 1 hand on her will usually max her out which equates to a 100% damage increase for her, while I actually do the tanking. Its a pretty easy way to keep her topped off especially considering the the short cooldown. Think mine was right about 6.5 seconds without the talent that decreases it with shield of the righteous use. Another tip - I use one of my legendary WoD rings basically just for a stat stick as the use effect doesn't work, but its a big chunk of strength in a slot where you wouldn't normally have it which is never bad :-) I also use anything with a speed increase effect as well. Still haven't completely finished it, but have come really close. Maybe these tips will help push someone thats teetering on the precipice of completion the rest of the way over. Good luck!
same with my rogue
tgyo99 don't bother with the ones that just drop the explosives, not worth the time. Just get the things to melt the armor and kill the canon yourself. But yeah, if you're a pally you aren't doing this in one go. Fortunately, you don't need to. It was actually designed to have you do them seperately.
I would have appreciated that you show the timer to have an idea of the time you take for each step.
EXCELLENT GUIDE! Thank you!
EDIT 3hrs later: back, and completed. Andorhal Stratholme items and three minutes of extra time. Thank you again. I only had the two starter talents from Chromie.
Dont stand still.. easily said by someone with tons of dots
Geoffrey Hunt what class do you play?
I play mage, so ill probably do it as arcane for AE but nowhere near as fast as that.
Yes same, I'm elemental shaman and the way he just insta kill those boss and adds is insane ...
Also ran this on my Ele Sham, it's horrendous
I know the feeling, its not even fair
Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for this video. I had no idea about the rare spawn magnataurs and your path helped me clear it the third go!
Thanks for the guide Mr Gurgle, it helped me. I wasn't aware there were 5 rares, only 4, and the pointers about the chests helped a tonne.
RNG finally blessed me and made me able to do it, got 2 shrines skips and 2 portal-skips (Andorhal and Hyjal).
Chromie also didn't decide to pull extras.
So stars aligned, and I am now equipped in the ugliest gear I could possibly have won for this stress! :P
Thank you so much! I followed this guide and finally got it done in just over 15mins, this was so helpful.
Thank you for posting, your video really helped me to finish the challenge in time and now I have a shiny Mistshroud-remake on my Hunter :)
Just did it like 10times in a row ( a lot tries the 3chest in the cave did not pop so i just reset) really works, thx mate
this is pure rng. I beat it on a run where the 3 chest in cave didn't spawn, the one on platform at azure didn't spawn, and the one at emerald didn't spawn and I got but despite that I got box for statholme and andorhal and really good mob pathing for well so I still beat it with 5 min to spare. seems like all that matters is good stratholme rng and then getting a second box for any of the other zones, andorhal being second best.
edit: obv your path helped a ton mmrrggll just like all of your guides do but it's a little frustrating that I didn't do anything particularly better than my other runs yet beat the scenario with over 5 min to spare. huge rng swing.
Great video, thanks! With that said, the Tmog you get for completing this is God awful.
I just finished it with 2 minutes remaining as a holy paladin (130 extra seconds from stolen time). Totally doable by healers. Just remember, Chromie being full health is way more important than you getting in some extra attacks. Also, if you are a healer and are confident in your abilities you cam pull large packs and group them up; Chromie does splash damage. For example: in the Obsidian Dragonshrine cave I pulled every mob up to the chests and grouped them, and Chromie killed almost everything in one hit. You can't be skittish in this scenario with only two talents so far!
Also, as I was fighting the last boss in Well of Eternity--my final credit to finish--I started DCing and it gave me a god damn heart attack. It reconnected me with 1 minute left to click the portal.
Good luck, fellow healers!
Well of eternity killed so many of my runs as a healer, I'm bad at dodging adds. This was really fun as disc though. you get the 500% buff AND all your damage.
Well I decided to be holy healer and it's made a little difficult but I think by far. You're the best video of all of them that i've watched... That's more thorough...ty for the share
Sorry I do voice dictation and it doesn't put down right what I say
thx, this helped. I did this as tank with 3 minutes to spare minus the dying and checking both chest spawns at shrine where lich is on the way through
I must say you have some godlike RNG I didn't even know those free passes like the Kara key was a thing and I've been doing it for 3 hrs already, thx for this guide though I'll be getting this tmrw for sure
Did this on an 889 balance druid (don't see how ilvl matters because you are scaled to 1000 ilvl) With only a defiled augment stone did this with no cc at all as well. Took me 8 hours to do because I have no luck.

Wow, great job! You did this all in only 15 min? I am horrible at time crunch quests. Thanks for posting video. I will be watching it again and again :)
This is the 8th time im watching this video, not beacuse I didn't understand it the first time but im just playing it in the background. Your voice is so calming lol. Thanks man im chillin hard
amazing job bro. keep up the videos. helped me out alot.
Respect. That was well done
Really helpfull! Didn't know about the chests or bonus bosses! Thank you so much for making this video, now i cant wait to try your tactics out
Awesome, followed your exact route for the most part and completed it on the first try.
Thank you for posting this the quest tends to get a bit annoying at times.
It should be noted that for Anderhol, the locations shown are for Alliance only. Horde players need to collect the items from the alliance area to the south. The two named guys you need are Potionmaster something-or-other and some very Gnome-ish name.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND, I JUST FINISHED IT USING YOUR ROUTE, I didn't get the 3 chests in black, or the one in green, only the one in blue. I got the strath key, off my 1st magnataur, the brimstone off the 2nd wave in hyjal, and the adornhal orders off the strath boss. I finished well with 16sec left and got back to the present with 2 sec remaining. However I still saw her get killed by what looked like bronze drake magic (gold and sandy) I had the tier 3 perk, but like you chose the bad option.
Just did this on my arms warrior after watching this video. And i didnt even get the 3 chests in the Obsidian Dragonshrine either. Thanks man great vid
I don't even want to do this after seeing you doing this, I will completely fail 😂
Leave it to Blizz to turn a cool challenge scenario into a pseudo-time-gated RNG fest
i dont think you understand what challenge means
That was my first thought as well when I saw this the first time. It's tedious enough constantly having to deal with timers for Mythic+, I really didn't want to see more "GOTTA GO FAST" content, especially in something casual like this.
I do, I know fully well that challenge means that planning and skill should lead to victory. And if not, devise a new plan and get better to overcome the challenge.
I understand that this scenario is supposed to require a plan like Mmrrggll executes in this video. But listen to what he says. It rides VERY heavily on what drops you get. Do you get the 3 chests in the cave? How many per chest? Do you get 1 or 2 Sands of Time from the additional rare mobs? Do those Sands of Time you loot just drop 10 second time extenders or the skip items that save you precious time in the scenario?
Do you get the skip item for the really quick Hyjal one? Or the slow as heck Stratholme one? What if no skip items drop at all?
When I say "pseudo-time-gated RNG" I mean that right now as the scenario is new, you have to rely heavily on good RNG in order to succeed. That's not challenging, it's annoying. If you aren't getting good luck in your attempts, unlocking more of Chromie's talents will help you along. But those are time gated. 24 hour wait times for a single talent. I tried this exact route mmrrggll used in this video with the same talents and bonuses, and roughly the same damage output. But it took me so. many. attempts until I finally got a good roll where all my Sands of Time gave me 5 skip items total, meaning I only had to do 3. I hadn't improved any more since the first attempt, I just got lucky.
Luck =/= Challenge.
There are two spawn locations for chests in every shrine. With the Obsidian Dragonshrine though, do what he said, do not skip chests in the other shrines!
On the last part of Well you can actually just mount up and run all the way to the demon boss, kill him and run to the portal. Most enemies won't really reach you until after you have killed the boss.
hey, in my experience, it's actually faster and easier to hug the left mountainside at the beginning of the well of eternity scenario, was able to avoid any mobs until reaching the second portal
Nice damage ! and once again thanks for the info !
Thanks, man! I just beat it today!
Those "AWESOME" transmog sets.....
7/8 so far. I just can never get 2 skips of the portals. I tried my best but usually I leave the Stratholm for last cause I know that if I do not get at least bonus time, I wont make it. 4 times in a row now i have 2-3 bonus minutes left at the bookshelf at Stratholm and Chromie just buggs out and doesnt open it. Oh well, hope for better luck tomorrow! Nice video tho!
Thanks, kept repeating until I get 3 chests in the obsidian shrine and got lucky with Andorhal key and Stratholme key
Thanks for the pointers Mmrrggll :D! This worked for me on my blance druid ^_^!!
LOL I can't even get passed the elite mobs
I did it on my frost death knight! And boy is there some heavy RNG at play. I got a really lucky roll though. The first rare dropped TWO skip items. Stratholme and Hyjal. The next 2 rares each dropped Skip drakes for the Ruby and Azure dragonshrines. I cleared the Black Dragonshrine, got the bonus chests and got 9 Sands of Time. And guess what I got. One more skip item, for Well of Eternity. So all I had to fully clear from there was the Emerald Shrine and Andorhal. Finished with 3 minutes to spare.
This event started out fun, ended up annoying, and ended up fun again when RNG was on my side. I'm just glad I finished it and got my mog. Now I'll just farm Timewalking Badges and bronze whelps, and get back to the fun of it.
This path actually worked very well, did this on my paladin and finished with like 5 seconds left.
Man, you rock! Thank you !
Thanks for the heads up! I'll try this once I get the chance :)
The transmogs are just slightly edited versions of cataclysm lowbie gear?
Yeah but the color pattern though!
Ya hardly "awesome" lol
some of them are from wotlk too, like the cloth and leather.
Terry Turner I was thinking the same thing when he said "awesome". The transmogs are ugly
blizz=lazy
the best vid I've seen on this quest -- THANKS!!!
I personally find strathome one of the faster ones for my spec, Later into the run when you have fast movement speed, I found it easier to do compared to anderhol which took the longer out of the four for me. I did completed the mission by skipping andorhol on my run. Once you know strathome and buy all the items in one circuit, hand it in and go to the townhall its very easy, especially if your cooldown heavy. If your lucky enough to get two shrine skips anyone can do this easy, its almost what your looking for at this point in the talents.Also affliction warlock is crazy compared to what I had to deal with.
you do a lot of dmg lol
Because you get scaled up to lvl 112 and ilvl 1,000.
(cuz you go to the future)
as a frost mage i cant deal so much dmg :o
I noticed that too, even buffed and at level 112 hes doing insane dps compared to my 905 feral
maybe its because when you are in the scenario your ilvl is 1000, MAYBE...
you can use the enchante of engenhering for extra bust of move speed.
I did not know about the rares around the wyrmrest temple and the dragonshrines. Otherwise this path was similar to the one I used. I got lucky when I did my chromie run after finding out about the rares from this video, got 3 bronze drakes and got a stratholme gate key AND tyrande's moonstone. Got to skip straight to the end of the two longest chronoportals for me and finished with 50 stolen seconds to spare.
For the next challenges video can you open a GM Ticket and when he responses tell him some shitty jokes :)
Wats the zip joke
Yeah i'm kidna wondering the same
It is basically a joke used my immature virgins.
very very very good video and useful, i dont do that much of damage like you as im paladin tank, i mean its ok but really thank you !
Great guide, thanks!
twice i've been in pase to do it as a healer. Both times Chromie decides to bug in startholm............... FeelsFuckingBadMan
kasper christensen Yeah same happened to me once too. She would just get stuck and not move.
List of bugs I got (minor and major)
1.) The apathy syndrome bug
Chromie will teleport around, but do NOTHING at all. I got it twice in Andorhal and once in Stratholme (Never did a run without a key again after that, because I could've finished it that run if it wasn't for the bug)
2.) The "Elsa"-Bug
Chromie will stay frozen after killing the boss at the ruby shrine. Happened about every 2nd run to me.
3.) The "I'm drunk and can't walk straight"-bug/glitch/problem
Chromie will run around like a fucking madman when you're mounted, pulling everything in the process. Happened basically everywhere, but was particularly frustrating in the Well of eternity. It was also a minor nuisance when I tried getting the chest in Hyjal without pulling the group with the 3 elementals.
Other problems:
The well of eternity is too annoying. You might not have had any problem with your insane DPS and ranged Damage, but as a warrior, I had extreme problems with slows, stuns and Chromie standing around and pulling patrols while I can't get to her due to slows.
You'll still get reputation from the sands of time, even after being maxed out. Removing it for everyone who's already done with the rep would a) reduce the RNG a bit and b) give a reason other than the title to do the rep before anything else.
Classes are clearly unbalanced. Affliction warlocks kill basically everything in about 10 seconds, including bosses, while other specs and classes stand around hitting them for minutes. There definitely has to be done some balancing.
There's no achievement for completeing the whole challenge for the first time. This is just a minor nitpick, but I'd like to brag about completeing it pretty early a bit. ^^
Still, I eventually made it through on my fury warrior (which isn't even my main) and even though this sounded mostly negative and salty (which I was for large chunks of the challenge) I had fun with it. This is the kind of content we need more of. Not only does it have high replayability value, but it's also a chunk of lore. And I'm always down for some timetravel stories. Still, some things could've been addressed, since it's been tested thoroughly in the beta.
The best thing about this whole scenario is the way my patience wid chrome is tested.
Every shrine and portal has at least one chest each run. They just have multiple spawn locations.
Eat Bear Tartare food if you don't plan on dieing at the first shrine. The speed boost helped a lot when I did my full run.
you need to do well of eternity first because chromie tends to bugg after the well , and mount hyjial resets chromie's bug
there can also be a time chest in the water at the emerald shrine
TLDR; always choose the right option
wow. just wow. you made that smooth. Mmrrggll whats your iLvl? I only ask because I'm at 900 still and got totally shredded by the bigger adds in Obsidian Shrine and then not the Captains but the bigger guys in Andorhaal. I did not yet make it thru to well, strat, or the other one. kept running out of time and hp in Andorhaal after the 4 shrines. Thanks for another kickass video. keep it up. we appreciate em.
ps - I meant this on my lock and warrior. yes I know they bump us to 1000 iLvl but just didn't seem to pack the punch I should have.
just works with an op class like wl, no chance as full equipped balance druid
AlCap0le all gear is scaled to Ilvl 1000 and every class can do it, teir is disabled as well and balance is actually a really strong class for it with the multi dots and starfall damage, plus with resto affinity you gain a lot of health in addition to chromies heal, as well as being able to stealth past many things, just takes some good rng and skill
Tier isnt disabled, as feral i'm getting combo points with thrash and thats t19 2p
Sireeh interesting, my teir either isn't reducing RSK or theres a cap with haste since it's Ilvl 1000
Ryan Knerr its reducing it for me. Also, why would you be stacking haste?
nvm it worked. was lucky enought to get stratholme and the moonwell sip.
I gave up on this quest after spending 2 months gearing up and trying to beat it. I'm a 903 mage and still got one shot by those elites. So I delete all chromie quests and gave up. Waste of subscription money but this is indeed a boring, difficult quest for me
Skipped a chest in WoE at about 16:20 on the right side.
good catch
123froozen Ahhhhhh..... I've probably passed that 10 times and never seen it.
Wow, every shrine has 2 chest spawns, usually always spawn at least one. WoE's 2nd chest is to the right after the last trio of mobs in the 2nd half. you can spot it from the stair, it'll be on the circular floor pattern to your right. Never saw this one though, the wowhead guide comments only said the one you found was "unknown". Very good eye mate :)
thx. helped me clear it as holy paladin.
After hours of doing this, I had 3 mins to spare and I finished it. But, because it said "Return to present time" I assumed I had to take the portal back to "present time". So I did, and I guess now that means I have to pray to the rng gods once more
Chromie is my daddy
I managed to get it first day!
2 Bronze drakes and a Strathome key lol.
No need for buffs or anything.
Discipline Priest, Chromie Tank Buff, etc :P
once you get the 3rd talent of getting 100%increase of dragon chance just do portals in the temple
imagine if there was a part in the scenario where she went to the cow level
Thanks for posting!
there's a chest in the water in front of the statue at the emerald dragon shrine
TYVM!
As a filthy casual who is ruining gaming, I am looking to get this done once I have some buffs. So it seems to me that until I am max rep or am doing a timed run, I would want to always choose Chromie rep not the one-time buffs. Then when doing a timed run attempt never choose rep? That seem reasonable?
Mmrrggll I see all the stuff you have on your right side bar. If you do add-ons you should look into Autobar i have been using it for MANY years it's a great mod and I even support the dev now.
went with my alt to get leather transmog, used only 2 talens and had 47sec left on timer+ 260sec buff, was really lucky xD
Thanks a lot ! without your help I couldn't complete it :)
great video mate, thanks!
Just a FYI; You can only get those skips after you've done them once. Also, you missed two boxes. :D
he gets so lucky with those drops
compared to this is arms warrior a nightmare, lower dmg, some fights bring me down to under 10% HP (with deff cooldowns), and the worst things are the flying casting phoenixes on that hyjal part
As a moderately well geared enhancement shaman this is not possible. Thanks blizz for handing content to some classes and blocking it from shaman as usual.
I beat this on my Enchance shaman Pizzaguy-kel'thuzad you're welcome to look I'm wearing the mog. It just takes RNG
Mmrrggll your response is appreciated. I was frustrated and raging. I still can't complete it but I will grind chromie rep up and make it happen.
I haven't finished it yet but theory: Chromie kills herself so her past self can stop it and have fun.
chests also spawn in the pond of the green dragonshrine
didnt bother doing it until i had all of chromies masteries. once you have them its easy af
Thanks for the video. Can you upload more OSRS content please?
There is a chest spawn in the NW corner of the Ruby Dragonshrine
I did it on my WW first without knowing about the 3 chests in the obsidian cave and it was pretty tough. On my Ret it was pretty much the same deal.. you really need that lucky try.
On my Affli this scenario close to a cakewalk. You are doing about 30% more dmg than WW or Ret and you also have very good self sustain from the healing. But I did'nt manage to complete it yet, because Stratholme always bugs out and Chromie is just standing still and occasionally porting to you. I was in Strat 3 times now with about 5min left, but if you get no key and Chromie bugs out, you cannot complete it unfortunatly. I wont try it again until this issue is fixed.. to frustrating.
Oh, didnt know that. Thank you very much ;)
I watch all this Elites pull and miss much more Vanilla.
Just a heads up, the reward transmog items are neither NEW nor AWESOME. They are recolored shit items from the Cata End Time dungeons. Just google "Death of Chromie transmog reward" and look for yourself. Personally, this whole thing is NOT worth it for the shit reward you get.
did it without any rare spawns or trash on the dragons
1. kill all dragon bosses (KEEP sands of time, don't spend)
2. hand in quest then use all 7 sands of time.
3. do the portals u got items for from the sands
4. use your new sands
5. do whatevers left
the aim here is to get:
1. a stratholme key
2. the Canadian circle item for the cannon portal
the other portals are quite fast
enjoy!
thank you CAnada
I remember when this channel had 8k subs
you should try beating it as a blood dk, darn near impossible without good rng
Notice how he got lucky with skipping the Void Monstrisity too
the andorhal one is the best one for me to do as a pally tank, i make a huge pile of the elited and get around 10 sands. not possible for dps i guess :P
Well played!
Any healers here know if it's possible with Chromie as a tank?
Before I switched to Resto, I was using Balance, and I had trouble getting past the elites from the dragonshrines with Chromie as a healer. She wasn't healing me, no matter how low my health was. The AI is better at tanking than it is at healing imo.
I can heal Chromie fine after pulling a shit ton, so I assume it's possible, but I'm waiting until I can get all of the talents for more Sands of Time & better items from it. Already got my title and I could care less about the transmog, but I want to at least give it a try a few times.
THe whole video can be summed up as "get good RNG or you cannot mathematically win"
yo are trolling with the sets looking good... Have you seen the abysmal leather :((
Why do I ALWAYS get the brimestone becon, literally the worst one for me yet I get nothing else
