Molten core and 3.0.2?

Well i finally got attuned with MC yay.
I got a guildie to join my "raid" and so i poked my head in to take a look.

Solo'ed the first 2 mobs easily enough as prot. Yay for me. Took bloopin ages though to dps them down!

So justa couple of questions:
Does everyone have to be attuned to enter it?
Whats the comfortable minimum number of people needed to complete it?
I image as it stands we could do all the trash with just 3 - tank +dps + healer/dps.

Im organising a guild run for this sunday
Never seen any of the old world raiding content.

You can be summoned in. Attunement takes 5 minutes, and will save everyone time in the long run.

You can 3 man it, but it'll take a long time. 10 people will trash the joint, assuming gear etc.

You need enough Quintessences to douse all the runes -- http://www.wowhead.com/?search=quintessence

There's an initial questline to get them:

If no one in your raid has done MC, you'll have to do some rep farming or buy quintessence timers in trade.

Have fun.

Thnks for the info.
Will check trade/ah to see if they are affordable.

if not, AOE FARMIN TIME!

Can't buy at AH. Would have to summon someone in to douse with their quintessence. Tons of old MC raiders have an Eternal Quintessence in their bank.

I have a regular Quintessence (one use), so for us it goes fastest to port a guy to Org, have him get a regular quintessence, and then summon him back after each boss. Since the Eternal Quintessences have an hour cooldown, you'd need several people with them to clear in good time otherwise.

you can pick up a few of them though?
Or are they a 1 per person thing or have a global cooldown?

Quicker, have a warlock and 2 friends on the rock in Azshara. Summon out of instance, get quintessence, summon back in.

Single per person.

There are runes on the ground by bosses that the Quintessence will put out. You need to put out all the runes (6?) in order to unlock the Domo fight. You have to beat Domo in order to fight Rag.

Which is why there's so much blather about Quintessences, and general annoyance over them being a hour CD.

Yeah, runes by:

<boss across the bridge behind golemagg's head and down the hill, has 4 adds, drops Shardstrike>
Golemagg

I believe that's the list. I know Luci has no runes, and I don't think Geddon does. Anyway, there's only one set of runes in Geddon/Shaz's room, afaik.
