Attunement to the Core

Venture to the Molten Core entry portal in Blackrock Depths and recover a Core Fragment. Return to Lothos Riftwaker in Blackrock Mountain when you have recovered the Core Fragment.
Core Fragment

Description

Rifts stir, tear, and collapse all around us, <race>. Not two paces from where I stand is a tear leading through the depths of Blackrock Mountain, into the maw of the Firelord.

Surprised? Pity... The mortal races cannot comprehend that which they cannot see, touch, or feel.

I assure you, the portal is there and access is possible.

I've piqued your interest? Attunement is simple. Venture into Blackrock Depths and retrieve a core fragment. Return it to me and I shall attune your essence with the portal.

i am a 60 rogue, i stealthed it solo. great tips from the guide above, but not all stuff is needed. i only used 1 major healing pot and 1 flash powder. you stealth all the way to ambassador flamelash, go passed him towards lava. stand on edge and you will see an island to the left with 4 fire elementals on it. thats where to go first. use sprint and jump off edge out as far as you can. this is where i used my healing pot. i got 3/4 of the way there and needed it. dont bother useing stealth until you get on the island, lava dmg with break it. once you step foot on the island, vanish, then sit there and wait for heath to regen. i wouldnt eat or bandage cause they break stealth. make you way to the end of island closest to the bridge, i used distract and it was cake. then jump in lava again and swim to the left of the bridge. there is a little landing there. then you have to venture to the other side of bridge. there are 2 sets of fire elementals aroud bridge. first set is right in front. i waited for vanish cooldown, but ended up making it passed them. then go towards green portal, you will see another set of them. i stealthed to the left of that group, and right before green portal there is&nbsp the core peice in a mine lookin thing. im not so sure a druid can do it, but i dont know, supose its worth a try. if you have any questions whisper Lennie on Detheroc ally side. i will help you out.

Good luck, hope this helps you.

Materials Required:
1 Lesser Invisibility Potion
1 Greater Fire Resistance Potion
1 Swim Speed Potion

1. Enter BRD
2. Open the 2 gates and then the prison looking door with the Shadowforge Key
3. Once you open the door you'll see a fire elemental patroling. Wait for him to leave and run up the stairs, if u stay at the highest flight of stairs you shouldn't agro anything.
4. The hardest part: Put on Aspect of Cheetah and feign death to make sure you're out of combat. Then drink the invisibility pot and run like hell left until you get to the window and jump out.
5. I did this and exactly when i landed out the windo and out of agro's way, my potion ran out so work fast
6. Now you must jump onto the bridge, try to avoid agro'ing the guards.
7. Now you're in the area leading up to Lord Incendius and you can avoid the fire elementals to your left and right if u walk down the center except for the last pair.
8. When you're near the last pair, you're near Lord Incendius and you're in a circular room, and on the edge of the room there should be a small ledge you can run on. So swiftly you must run past the fire elementals (you will agro) and once you're on the edge pray to go your feign death won't be resisted
9. Jump down into the lava and run along the left side until, you see an island with MANY fire elementals (not the first island, the second island.) Then you must use your swim pot and swim to the base of the island. Once you're at the base of the island you'll probably have to wait for your&nbsp invisibility pot to cooldown, once it does use the pot and run to the molten bridge.
10. Now you should see 3 fire elementals. Use your greater fire resistance pot and run into them and then feign death when you're out of the agro radius.
11. You should see 3 more fire elementals and behind them is the core fragment
12. Wait for the invisibility cooldown and use it and run to the core fragment, loot it and you're done
Hope this helpful
Have fun in MC

When you go down the pillar in BRM towards BRD you pass 2 big chains. After the 2nd chain you see a High Elve, he is the quest giver.

You can only do this as 5 man.

We did it on 2 hours on the normal way.
Just head for the emperor and then turn of in the end, and kill the elemental guardians.

I would prefer:

Paladin
Warrior
Mage
Priest
Warlock

for doing this quest... everyone should be (55-60)

Was easy, just follow the same way that the rouge version was, except instead of crossing the bridge u can go to the walkway to the left, cast rejuvenation and swim across the lava to the left of the bridge, from there u can climb up and stealth past the 2 remaining elementals. Finished within 10 mins ^.^

Well I watched the videos and decided to give it a shot.&nbsp I felt this video was the most helpful but I didn't like changing into a seal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0QltrV3TVg&mode=related&search=

I am a restoration spec'd Druid at level 57.&nbsp I felt that the easiest path for me was through the bar in BRD. (the directions are mentioned above) I already did the quest with Nag in the bar so all I had to do was talk to her and she went and made out with the guy therefore opening the door.&nbsp I then stealth to the fire lizard boss (doorway on the left) and unstealthed at the far first ledge to the left.&nbsp The only potions I felt were beneficial are the Swim Speed and Greater Fire protection potions.&nbsp (I felt the fire potion was key as it absorbed +2400 of lava fire damage note that I one have about 2500hp) Eventho I could change into a seal, I found that morphing took too much time and it distracted me when trying to swim to the first island. (I tried like 10 times with no success). I had a stave and chest armor that combined to add +100 to healing.&nbsp On the ledge I drank the greater fire prot potion then waited for the 2min cool down. During the wait, I watched the lava for those pesky patrolling fire elementals.&nbsp One wronged timed jump will aggro him and send you to a quick grave. (I learned the hard way) Once the cooldown was over, I cast regrowth and drank the swim speed potion. Right after the swim potion, I quickly run/jump off the ledge and cast rejuvenation in the air and swam to the closest edge of the island with the 4 elementals.&nbsp Make sure you are tip so as to not agrro the closest fire elemental (another lesson learned) I healed then stealthed around the elementals to the opposite end of the island. While stealthed I jumped in to the lava to the ramp.&nbsp Once there I healed and stealthed my way thru the 2 groupings of elementals.&nbsp The core is behind the second group of three elementals and before the molten core instance.&nbsp You will not aggro the elementals at the core.

Wouldn't&nbsp it be possible for someone to enter a raid group going to MC and when the group gets there through the Attunement thing they just go out of the instance and summon the guy who has walked into BRD? Althought this is a good thoguht it seems a little too easy.

It appears you no longer have a crystal to click on to enter MC, just click the quest giver or jump out of the window NEXT to him.

All you need is a few invisibility potions, and maybe some fire protection potions. It helps to be a night elf, because you can shadowmeld in certain places to allow patrols to go by. You also need to have the Shadowforge Key, and have to be able to solo a single lvl 50 Bloodhound. Basically, I followed the path that the rogue takes in the video someone posted earlier, but at the beginning, where he uses distract to make the dog look away, I popped an invis pot, and I went to the right of the group of men, directly toward the dog. He senses you, but he will be the only one aggro'd if you run into the middle of the room. Once you kill him, just avoid aggroing mobs till you get to Incendius, then you can aggro the two elementals and jump into the lava on the left. Doing that takes you out of combat and resets the elementals. All thats left is watching for the elementals in the lava to pat away from you, and you can make your way on the same path the rogue did. Once at the final bridge, pop another invis pot (before you run up, because even as a lvl 60 you cannot run in front of the bridge without aggroing the elementals), and bolt across. I stopped in the middle to be safe, waited for the pot cooldown, and popped one more to avoid the last group. In total, about 10g in pots on my server, and you have yourself a solo'ed MC attunement.

I did this with 1 fire pot and 1 invis pot, on a mage.

I went left side of the lavapool, ignore the island and got under the bridge, all with one fire pot (and one fire ward).

The harder part is getting to the lava pool.

Mages can cross lava without potions - Just!

It IS possible, i know i know.. hard to believe but if you have ur 60 Fire Ward, use it before crossing to island, wait untill it has about 8sec left and jump in, blink, as sonn as u can re-do fire ward.

I made easier for myself using Arena Grand Master too =P

Done with 63 Hunter and 62 Rogue. 62 Rogue could easily solo with vanish. Lava jump and your straight.

Surprised no one has posted here? lol

When I obtained the fragment, I ran into MC, then exited again. When I exited the instance I was outside BRD right where the NPC is to turn the quest in. Just thought that could help anyone to save them a trip!

Love how the described attunement to the core in the guide on mmo:
1. Have your Rogue pickpocket the Grim Guzzler Key from Plugger Spazzring
2. Have Mistress Nagmara (the succubus barmaid) open it for you
3. Make Private Rocknot blow the door open + kill Phalanx
4. Kill some of the Guzzling Patrons.

plain & simple, that's how I like it!

I've just done it as a warrior.

You will need:
1. 3x invisibility potion
2. 1x HP potion (2x if you are not a plate user or if you don't have enough def cooldowns)
3. Shadowforge key

Guide:
1. Use your invisibility potion and run to the Shadowforge, open the door
2. After stairs, turn left and run straight, use your defensive cooldowns and jump out of the window
3. Jump down, turn right and go straight, avoid all the packs on your way until you reach Incendius
4. You can't avoid pulling the last pack, so pull them and jump down from the bridge into lava on your left
5. Hug the wall on your left, you should be save on the bank
6. You will see an island with 5 elementals (I am not sure about the exact number), jump down into lava and swim there, you will probably have to use your HP potion. Stand at the edge of the island so you don't pull the elementals and regenerate.
7. Once you have 100% HP, jump into lava and again - stick to the left wall until you reach the ground.
8. Walk upwards, drink your invisibility potion and pass the pack of 3 elementals.
9. In save distance, wait 10 mins until you can use invisibility potion once again.
10. Drink the third invisibility potion, pass the 3 elementals in front of the MC entrance.
11. Loot the Core Fragment.

Soloed with paladin easy :). But if you want to make it easier, you need some invisibility potions, and health potion. I have found some solutions here.
