Blackrock Foundry



The raid Blackrock Foundry (BRF) is the central encounter of the Firestorm WoD expansion. In BRF the team will systematically dismantle the foundry, killing its leaders for loot made from "impossibly hard ore", and require clever footwork to survive. Loot ranges from 670ilvl (Normal) to 691ilvl (Heroic + Warforged) and includes a powerful 4p set that enhances each class/spec with multiple bonuses! Ten bosses in all with several sub bosses to sink your teeth into.

Boss Order and Directions
The door to Thogar often won't open so he should be cleared immediately to avoid losing access to two bosses (and Blackhand). To avoid some bugs with BRF's scripting, I recommend you fight the bosses in this order: These are the toughest of the bosses: Flamebender, Kromog, Furnace, Blackhand.
 * 1) Beastlord Darmac (entrance --> right turn --> in the hallway)
 * 2) Operator Thogar (entrance --> right turn --> through hallway)
 * 3) Iron Maidens (jump down into the water from Thogar)
 * 4) Hans'gar and Franzok (entrance --> left turn --> down elevator)
 * 5) Flamebender Ka'graz (follow path past Hans/Franz)
 * 6) Kromog (in a chamber near Flamebender)
 * 7) Oregorger (entrance --> right down past the rocks --> left at the fork)
 * 8) Gruul (entrance --> right down past the rocks --> right at the fork)
 * 9) The Blast Furnace (entrance --> right turn and keep going down past the rocks)
 * 10) Blackhand (entrance --> straight forward --> up elevator)

In order to succeed you will have to learn the encounter, position yourself correctly, be a badass at your class, and come prepared. This guide will teach you to tear through Blackrock Foundry and smile while doing it. BRF is located in northern Gorgrond at about [51, 31] as seen by the pathway entering the castle.

Come Prepared
Each participant should arrive with their optimal buffs. Food exists for +125, Flasks for +250 , Runes for +50 , Oralius' Crystal gained from a dungeon quest gives +100 , and one should carry their potions that grant +1000.

The Engineering profession items, First Aid potion, Goblin Gliders, and the "Garrison Outpost" perk are also strongly recommended. Other items like the Swapblaster, Jaina's Locket, Aqua Jewel, etc are useful in BRF as well but aren't necessary. Always repair your gear before entering the instance.

Your game must be 100% downloaded, buttons 100% setup, and bring your sharpest sword. For normal mode 650ilvl is the minimum, Heroic is 670ilvl minimum. A real pro raider will help with the team setup and summoning, so be sure to have the flight paths nearest the raid ❤.
