Seeking the secrets of Ulduar

Raleigh and I got to spend some quality time with Lanfranco as he finally found time to venture into Ulduar with me. Ulduar has been my favorite raid since the very first time I visited the place, and it's still as amazing as ever.

One of the major reasons why I looked forward to Pandaria so much was because I knew it would be possible to do Ulduar with less people. Now, based on the information that I gathered with Lanfranco, it looks like a great part of the raid would be soloable - surprisingly even Flame Leviathan - and I've got just the thing for that: a blood death knight. Both Raleigh and Vladan are in need of transmogrification gear from Ulduar, so it looks like I'll be having a lot of that in my calendar... which really doesn't bother me at all. Generally I find soloing various things one of the most pleasant things to do in the game; I'm much more of a solo player, just like I am a bit anti-social in real life. I just like the fact that I can enjoy that amazing content at my own pace. Going there is always voluntary, so it doesn't stir negative feelings like that.

Lan let me have the Archivum Data Disc, which is a drop from the Assembly of Iron in hard mode, to unlock Algalon, who we weren't yet able to try. I didn't get to complete the questline in Wrath of the Lich King, but it seems pretty cool and interesting.

There have been rumours that Pandaria doesn't show on the miniature versions of Azeroth in Ulduar, but there looks to be some chunk of something that appears much like a continent on those maps.

It must be Pandaria down there.

A warlock's mission

I just came up with a crazy idea that just might work.

Sorley, my demonology, and only, warlock, currently sits at level 50 and my leveling interest for him is moderate. I'm in no hurry to get him to 90, so I began to think what I could use him for. A certain title called Herald of the Titans popped on my mind. I never got to do it in Wrath of the Lich King and I think it's one of the most epic titles in the game. Considering my raiding experience as elemental shaman I'd only take on such a challenge as a damage dealer, so it's perfect. Sorley Sylvester, good sir, I trust you with this heroic task.

I realise this would be mighty impossible on my main realm Moonglade (EU), which is why OpenRaid is the way to go. I've seen several Herald of the Titans runs about, so I'm sure there will be some when the locky is 80. The actual challenge before Algalon is to get the gear, though, as I must acquire it from Wrath of the Lich King raids up to and including Ulduar.

Does anyone have interest in joining me for this challenge? It's definitely not a walk in the park, in fact I'm sure it'll be very difficult, but as I've now got the spark for it, I might as well ask if anyone would like to come along! Just to be clear, the base requirements are: a level 80 character with no items higher than Ulduar 10.
