Naxxramas is back, and if you want to prepare for this classic World of Warcraft raid, you've come to the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to do before the raid starts, so you won't be caught off guard by its challenging mechanics and unique requirements.
Step 1: Get attuned to Naxxramas
First things first, attunement. To enter Naxxramas, you must complete the quest "The Dread Citadel - Naxxramas" from Archmage Angela Dosantos in the Chapel of Light's Hope. Your character must be at least Honoured with the Argent Dawn. If you're not there yet, try doing activities like killing undead in Stratholme or Scholomance, or contributing to the war effort. Once you're attuned, pick up Echoes of War from Commander Eligor Dawnbringer to start farming for your Tier 3 gear set.
Step 2: Equip with the Undead Slaying Set
The Undead Slaying Set, or Sanctified gear, is crucial to this raid. Aim to have at least eight pieces by the start of the raid. These pieces can be obtained in a number of ways:
Brilliant Wizard Oil for casters or Condensed Mightstone for melee, both of which can be purchased with Necrotic Runes from the Argent Outfitter.
Sanctified Gear drops from bosses in Naxxramas or can be crafted/bought from the auction house. Focus on getting items like the gloves from the Outfitter's inventory.
Step 3: Understanding the Signet of Dawn
The Signet of Dawn is no longer a trinket, it's a buff that is greatly enhanced by the amount of Sanctified gear you have. Collecting 150 Remnants of Valour will allow you to upgrade to a rank 2 buff, giving you a significant stat boost for every piece of Sanctified gear you wear. Don't overlook this; it can make the difference between success and failure in Naxxramas.
Step 4: Consumables and flasks
New to the Season of Discovery, updated consumables such as the Honey Badger's Elixir and the Elder Gods' Flask offer improved stats over their predecessors. Stock up on them:
Greater Shadow Protection Potions and Greater Frost Protection Potions for specific encounters.
Flasks such as Flask of the Old Gods for tanks, which provide both stamina and defence.
Step 5: Know your battles
Naxxramas may feel familiar to many, but don't underestimate it. Check out guides, especially from the PTR or previous iterations. Understanding mechanics like Sapphiron or Kel'Thuzad can save hours of frustration.
Frost resistance gear may be required for hard modes, although normal modes can be tackled with enough healing and strategic use of potions and totems.
