Incontestablement le plus beau haut-fait de l'histoire de World Of Warcraft.

Cette quête était* le résultat de nombreux efforts, surtout si réalisé au niveau 60 (à l'époque). Les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj étaient fermées, le lieu n'était d'ailleurs même pas notifié sur la carte pendant ce temps.

Après avoir endurée une longue suite de quêtes, deux, et seulement deux personnes par serveur pouvait sonner le gong. Une par faction.

Une fois fait, les joueurs les plus courageux du serveur devait se réunir devant les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj, et affronter pendant dix réelles heures des troupes de l'assaut d'Ahn'Qiraj.

L'assaut fini, les portes étaient ouvertes, le lieu était notifié sur la carte et les 2 joueurs (par serveur) obtenaient le titre "Seigneur scarabée", la plus grosse gloire du jeu.

Il est maintenant impossible d'obtenir le titre Seigneur Scarabée. Même si un nouveau serveur venait à être implanté, les portes seraient déjà ouvertes. En effet, quand un serveur ouvraient et que les portes étaient fermées, cela perturbait Blizzard car les transferts de personnages étaient impossibles en attendant. Blizzard a jugé ça inutile avec l'évolution des personnages au niveau actuel, et a donc supprimé la suite de quête pour réduire tout futur éventuel problème à néant.

*SUITE DE QUETES LIE A L'OBTENTION DU Cristal de résonance qiraji noir*

Je vous présente ici, la longue suite de quêtes liés au Cristal de résonance qiraji noir, du titre associé et du Tour de force Seigneur scarabée ainsi que du Char de guerre qiraji noir ajouté durant le patch 7.3.5 pour les joueurs ayant eu la première version ainsi que le Tour de force.

Plusieurs points importants :

Cristal de résonance qiraji noir fut implanté durant le patch note 1.12.1 ( 2006 )

La suite de quêtes a été supprimé à la sortie de l'extension Cataclysme, sortant ainsi le Tour de force Vétéran des Sables changeants, vous pouviez toujours faire la suite de quêtes avant Cataclysme même si la monture avait déjà été réclamée

Le titre Seigneur scarabée fut implémenté durant l'extension Burning Crusade ( 2007 )

Il n'est plus possible d'avoir la monture et le titre depuis l'extension Wrath of the Lich King ( 2008 ) car tous les serveurs ont les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj d'ouvert, même les nouveaux

Il n'était pas possible de transférer un personnage sur un royaume ou les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj étaient encore fermées.

Dans le lore de WoW le seigneur scarabée est Shiromar.

C'est la plus longue suite de quêtes du jeu, elle se compose de 32 quêtes

La validation de Faites résonner le gong ! pour l'obtention de la monture déclenche un évènement connu sous le nom de La guerre des 10 heures, durant les 10 heures qui suivent après que le premier joueur a frappé le gong, tous les joueurs qui sont également éligibles peuvent aussi avoir la monture, compte tenu des efforts pour faire cette suite de quêtes à l'époque, il y avait généralement qu'un seul Seigneur scarabée par serveur, Le GM/Officier de la meilleure guilde de son serveur, il est très rare que durant WoW Vanilla ( 2006 ) il y a eu 2 ou 3 Seigneurs scarabée sur le même royaume

Le premier joueur au Monde à avoir frappé le gong est Kalahad ( Alliance ) de la guilde Fury sur le serveur Medivh-US

Le prélude du Champion de Bronze
Ce que demain apportera 1
1. La première quête est donnée par Baristolth des Sables changeants au Fort cénarien en Silithus vous demandant de rencontrer Anachronos.

2. Anachronos est méfiant envers la race mortelle, il est hostile avec les joueurs, vous retournez voir Baristolth des Sables changeants en lui expliquant l'hostilité du dragon.

Il ne peut y en avoir qu'un 2
3. Baristolth des Sables changeants à une idée, il vous demande de réunir une armée... 40 joueurs devront se glisser dans le Repaire de l'aile Noir ( BWL ) pour venir à bout du 3eme boss le Seigneur des couvées Lanistaire et de récupérer sa tête ( seul un joueur peut prendre sa tête ).

4. Baristolth des Sables changeants reconnaît votre potentiel à devenir un héros.. mais Anachronos se méfie toujours des races inférieures, il faudra prouver votre valeur à son égard !

Le Chemin des Justes 3
5. Baristolth des Sables changeants vous donne un Agent de Nozdormu vous permettant de récolter des Fragment de carapace de silithide pour augmenter votre réputation avec la Progéniture de Nozdormu , vous pouvez aussi mandater des joueurs avec Mandataire de Nozdormu pour qu'ils puissent vous aider à récolter des Fragment de carapace de silithide sur les Silithide de la région qui sont élites, il s'agit de la quête la plus longue de cette suite de quêtes, car il faudra être de réputation Neutre avec Progéniture de Nozdormu pour qu'Anachronos daigne vous parler. 200 Fragment de carapace de silithide = 200 de réputation pour la Progéniture de Nozdormu, la quête est bien-sure répétable, il faut 42000 pts de réputation pour passer de Hostile > Inamical > Neutre, à coup de 200 pts de réputation il faudra donc rendre la quête pas moins de 210 fois !

6. Après des semaines de farming d'insecte dans la région la plus dangereuse vous retournez voir Baristolth des Sables changeants.

Anachronos 4
7. Baristolth des Sables changeants s'excuse d'être aussi méfiant et d'avoir des secrets, et vous renvoie à Tanaris pour reprendre contact avec Anachronos.

Des souvenirs oubliés depuis longtemps 5 & Un pion sur l'Echiquier éternel 6
8. Anachronos souhaite que vous compreniez le passé, il vous envoie devant les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj scellé par la magie du vol de Bronze, vous comprenez que les dragons et les elfes de la nuit ont repoussé toutes les créations de C'thun, les Qiraji et les Silithides dans Ahn'Qiraj.

Le fardeau des Vols draconiques 7
9. Vous retournez voir Anachronos, il vous explique qu'il faut ouvrir les portes d'Ahn'Qiraj et terrasser C'thun une bonne fois pour toute, mais le sceptre qui possède ce pouvoir fut brisé en 3 fragments et transmis à 3 gardiens dragons, Vaelastrasz le Corrompu, Azuregos et Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve

10. Anachronos vous demande de trouver un moyen de récupérer les fragments de sceptres associés aux gardiens dragons.

Le Fragment de sceptre rouge lié à Vaelastrasz le Corrompu

Le Fragment de sceptre vert lié à Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve

Le Fragment de sceptre bleu lié à Azuregos

Fin du prélude du Champion de Bronze

Commentaire de Dragomalfoy

Les Fragments du sceptre des sables changeants

Anachronos nous a donc confié à qui parler pour récupérer les 3 fragments, ici nous commencerons par le Fragment de sceptre rouge lié à Vaelastrasz le Corrompu.

I. Le Fragment de sceptre rouge

1. Ce fragment il suffit de réunir sa petite armée de 40 joueurs et de repartir à l'assaut du repaire de l'aile noir ( BWL ).
Une fois devant le deuxième boss de l'instance, Vaelastrasz le Corrompu, pour engager le combat avec ce boss il faut lui parler, cependant avant de commencer le combat on lui valide la quête et il nous apprend que c'est maintenant Nefarian, le dernier boss du repaire de l'aile noir qu'il le possède, mais que le temps nous fait défaut, car il a pour projet de le détruire.

Pour avoir dans la table du butin le Fragment de sceptre rouge il faut tuer Nefarian en moins de 5H après la défaite de Vaelastrasz le Corrompu, donc une fois notre Vaelastrasz le Corrompu libéré de sa corruption en le tuant, il restera à tuer 6 boss pour arriver devant Nefarian et le tuer, le tout en moins de 5H.
Comme pour le reste, seul un joueur en possession de la quête pourra récupérer le fragment.

2. Vous êtes en possession du Fragment de sceptre rouge !

II. Le Fragment de sceptre vert

1. Comme nous l'a indiqué Anachronos le Fragment de sceptre vert est lié à Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve, qui n'est d'autre que le dernier boss de l'instance Le temps d'Atal'Hakkar.

2. Une fois devant le boss, une image de Malfurion est présente et nous apprend qu'Eranikus n'a pas sa forme véritable, qu'il est corrompu par les Dieux très anciens et que le fragment n'est pas ici, il faut donc un plan pour purifier Eranikus. Malfurion nous envoie à Darnassus pour trouver son agent et élaborer un plan.

3. Une fois à Darnassus et l'agent de Malfurion trouvé, il nous confit qu'il va prévenir Tyrande et nous envoie parler au Gardien Remulos à Reflet-de-lune pour préparer l'invocation d'Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve

4. Une fois à Reflet-de-lune le Gardien Remulos nous demande de nous rendre aux 4 portails qui ouvrent sur le rêve d'emeraude, par la ou arrivent les 4 worlds boss dragons du rêve, Emeriss, Léthon, Ysondre et Taerar récupérer 4 Fragment de la corruption du Cauchemar, un pour chaque zone de rêve, ils peuvent être récupérés sur les gardiens dracontiques qui protègent les portails, sauf pour celui du Bois de la pénombre ou il faudra tuer un gros world boss Satyr, l'aide de plusieurs guildes étaient demandés.

5. Une fois les 4 Fragment de la corruption du Cauchemar, l'invocation pourra commencer à Reflet-de-Lune, ou l'aide du royaume sera demandé, Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve est maintenant présent dans notre monde, notre but est de purifier le dragon et pas le tuer, des vagues de dragons arrivent sur toute la carte et dans la ville, il faudra les tuer pour protéger Tyrande jusqu'à la purification d'Eranikus, le tyran du Rêve

6. Vous êtes en possession du Fragment de sceptre vert !

III. le Fragment de sceptre bleu

1. Ce fragment d'après Anachronos fut transmis à Azuregos, il faudra donc tuer le world boss Azuregos en Azshara, une fois vaincu celui-ci apparait en fantôme et nous parle dans une langue draconique et nous donne Le grand livre magique d'Azuregos dans cette même langue qui nous est incompréhensible.

2. De ce livre démarre une quête, on doit trouver Narain Divinambolesque en Tanaris

3. Narain Divinambolesque nous explique qu'il faut traduire le livre, et que par chance il possède un livre, le fameux Livre de traduction du dranonique pour les nuls .
Il nous donne 3 quêtes

La première de récupérer ses lunettes de divination, que son ami Stewvul lui a volé, et nous demande d'enquêter devant les portes de Gilneas dans la forêt des Pins argentés, et nous découvrons que les lunettes furent égarées dans le Cœur du magma, pour les récupérer il faudra tuer les créatures de Cœur du magma et avoir de la chance !

La seconde quête nous demande de lui trouver à manger, mais pas n'importe quoi, il faudra se rendre sur L'Ile de l'effroi en Féralas pour lui trouver la meilleure viande de Chimaerok, la fin de cette suite de quêtes donnera la fameuse recette épique : Recette : Pyro-côtelettes de chimaerok à la Dirge

Et la dernière quête est de récupérer ce livre sur la plage Bout-du-Monde au sud de Tanaris, nous apprenons une fois sur la plage que le livre a été volé et la demande de rançon est écrite sur un bout de papier, cette rançon nous mène au Berceau-de-l'hiver ou nous récupérons qu'une seule page du livre.

Notre prochaine mission ? Chercher toutes les autres pages du livre ! 8 pour être précis.

Page 1 : Île d'Alcaz au Marécage d'Aprefange

Page 2 : Balafre impure au Terres foudroyées

Page 3 : Gorge des sombres murmures au Berceau-de-l'Hiver

Page 4 : Quartier de la Magie à Undercity

Page 5 : Donjon de Stormwind à Stormwind

Page 6 : Onyxia au Repaire d'Onyxia ( Raid 40 )

Page 7 : Repaire de l'Aile noire ( Raid 40 ) sur une table dans le raid

Page 8 : Ragnaros cœur du Magma (Raid 40)

4. Nous voilà fin prêt ! Le livre est restauré, le gnome rassasié et avec ses lunettes.

5. Après la traduction du livre, Narain Divinambolesque nous confit qu'il faudra une bouée en arcanite pour récupérer le Fragment de sceptre bleu il faudra lui donner :

Barre d'arcanite 20

Lingot d'élémentium 10

Diamant d'Azeroth 10

Saphir bleu 10

6. Notre bouée en arcanite permet d'enlever le déguisement de Crocs-de-la-mer qui s'etait caché sous la forme d'un vairon, il faudra, encore une fois faire appel au royaume pour tuer ce world boss requin !

7. Vous êtes en possession du Fragment de sceptre bleu !

Fin des Fragments du sceptre des sables changeants

Vous avez en votre possession les 3 fragments ! vous retournez voir Anachronos

La puissance de Kalimdor

Anachronos vous explique que l'effort de guerre à commencé, c'est la partie la plus longue car celui ci dépend uniquement de votre royaume.

L'effort de guerre consiste à rendre une quantité astronomique de composant dans les capitales de l'Alliance et de la Horde pour les besoins des soldats avant de commencer la guerre en Silithus

Pour chaque quête répétable de composant rendu il vous est offert des chevalières, qui permettent d'avoir de la réputation de faction Alliance ou Horde, ou bien des parchemins ou du stuff de qualité vert généralement.

Les deux factions doivent rassembler un total de:

90,000 Barre de cuivre
26,000 Lotus pourpre
80,000 Cuir épais
17,000 Jaune-queue tacheté
400,000 Bandage en étoffe runique

L'Alliance doit également réunir :

180,000 Cuir léger
800,000 Bandage en lin
110,000 Cuir moyen
33,000 Etouffante
14,000 Thon arc-en-ciel
28,000 Barre de fer
20,000 Rôti de raptor
600,000 Bandage en soie
24,000 Barre de thorium
20,000 Larmes d'Arthas

La Horde doit également rassembler :
96,000 Pacifique

18,000 Barre de mithril
250,000 Bandage en tisse-mage
60,000 Cuir robuste
10,000 Pain de saumon

L'effort de guerre prend fin quand la totalité des composants nécessaire est à 0

Vous retournez voir Anachronos il sonne l'heure du Champion de Bronze et il vous donne le Le Sceptre des Sables changeants

Il ne vous reste plus qu'à valider Faites résonner le gong ! devant Ahn'Qiraj et votre Cristal de résonance qiraji noir vous attend !
Valider Faites résonner le gong ! déclenche la guerre des 10Heures, toutes les personnes avec le sceptre peuvent également durant les 10h valider la quête pour obtenir la monture, après ces 10H aucune monture ne sera attribuée.
Cet évent fait apparaitre de nombreux monstres devant le raid
Pour 2006 on comptait 1 monture par serveur rarement plus compte tenu des efforts pour l'époque

This refers to the server-wide event, the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, similar to the Shattered Sun Offensive assault on Quel'Danas. If you weren't there at the time, this is no longer achieveable.

Commentaire de 150104

if you want the only legendary status ground mount in the game it is worth the money. i thought it was only ridable in AQ40 but i was walking around dm west at lvl 70 and happened to see a lvl 70 human priest riding one. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21176#comments

Commentaire de Tyrsenus

The title Scarab Lord and the Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal ("black bug mount") are obtained by the first player on the realm to complete Bang a Gong!, which opens the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. More than one player per realm may still complete the quest and receive both title and mount, provided they do so within ten hours of the gates opening.

The black bug mount may be used anywhere ground mounts can be used and inside Ahn'Qiraj. There are other, differently colored bug mounts which drop from creatures inside Ahn'Qiraj, and may only be used while inside.

Commentaire de DarthRahn

Criteria only shows Bang a Gong! quest as required, there are no Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal. However it is possible to complete quest after opening, you just don't get the title and legendary mount!
Anybody can confirm this?

Commentaire de 257977

Through server transfer,players can still get this.
One server can creat many "Scarab Lord".
Someone even made a movie for it.
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTAyMTkyNTI=.html
According to what the author said，with this ONE gate opened，there're 60 more Scarab Lords in the world now.
And there're MANY servers gates are available for open.

New English EU realm opened on 30/01/2009: Saurfang (Misery battlegroup).

Link to opening thread

It'll take another 90 days as usual before any migration is allowed, so people will have another chance to go get this achievement in a few months (end of April / early May at the latest).

Commentaire de Teleros

You will need some help, but the number of people depends a lot on how good they are (and how well equipped in some cases). Your best bet would be to get a regular group together for the following:

Early Quests: Blackwing Lair 3rd boss

Red Sceptre Shard: Blackwing Lair 5 hour run

Blue Sceptre Shard: Maws, Dr Weavil (tip: use a pet as tank), Blasted Lands demons (perhaps), Molten Core trash, Ragnaros, Onyxia, Blackwing Lair for elementium ore (need 10)

Green Sceptre Shard: Twilight Corruptor, Emerald Portal dragonkin, Eranikus

I think that just about covers the group work - obviously depending on class you may be able to solo Onyxia or something (even if you can't 3-man her or something).

Finally, there is a detailed walk-through of the quest chain Here on Wowwiki.

Commentaire de Teleros

But i read that most of the items quest (such as the Head of the Broodlord, or the chapters that drop from Ragnaros, Onyxia, Nefarian, etc.) are 1 drop per kill.

The head of the Broodlord drops for the entire raid (epic item now, no longer 1-off). Certainly the "Draconic for Dummies" require free for all looting for you to get it (obviously people not on the quest can't see them), and the shards themselves (eg from Neffy) I can't remember. If other comments here (and Wowwiki) can't help with that then play it safe and put it on FFA looting for Nefarian too, ninja Ashkandi, and sell it via GM ticket...
Okay maybe not that last bit, but best to play it safe if you're not sure.

Did you find a group in your guild and all of you did it together, or a PUG, or just good friends you had?

I'm fortunate in that on Kul Tiras there's a bunch of good people in various guild who used to like running pre-TBC dungeons a lot. Slacking now due to Northrend, but I hope to get them started again when I get back. I'd certainly advise against PuG groups for it though, due to lack of experience, ninja looters and the free for all looting requirement.

Commentaire de 254756

I think I can almost guarantee that the gates on Saurfang will be opend before the migration is available. There are loads of people levling just to do the chain there, and the war efforts always completes quite fast on English realms :)

Good luck to everyone praying that they won't tho :D

Commentaire de veno3

EDIT: Saurfang gates have been opened, and Ulduar's will soon follow. Achievement is now unobtainable.

For players on EU servers hoping to transfer and bang the gong, Ulduar and Saurfang realms will be your last EVER chance to do this. However with the ease the chain is completed at 80, it is unlikely you'll even get the opportunity.

Going forward, the gates of Ahn’Qiraj will start out open on all new realms that are created. While we recognize that this is a unique event, we feel that the complexity of this event can cause various issues that negatively impacts a player’s game play experience. By automatically opening the gates and allowing immediate access to the Ahn’Qiraj instances, we would like to promote the higher level content that is available as well as ensure a smooth overall experience for players on these new realms.

How about US servers?

Commentaire de Theolol

EDIT: This post still contains relevant historic details that will be of interest for anyone wanting to learn about the actual difficulties and planning that were required to be one of the last to get this achievement on both EU and US servers. References to realm forums have been wiped with the Battle.net migration pre-Cataclysm. Warcraft Realms will reflect current data and not what's referred to.

When I posted this (last week of February 2009) about a month since new the realms were started, there were about 2 months left to plan on partaking in the last chance ever of any character anywhere in WoW to obtain the mount and title. Period.

These predictions came true, to the dismay of hundreds (thousands?) of players hoping to transfer to bang the gong and get the Char d'assaut qiraji noir. The possibility that the War Effort might easily be completed before PCTs were allowed kept being denied, in spite of educated guesses which turned out to be confirmed well ahead of time. On both Saurfang and Ulduar, the gates were opened in the first half of April, several weeks before PCTs were allowed.

Those who re-rolled got what their time and effort was worth. The natives got to build a community around it, starting out the new realms greatly and should be congratulated.

On a personal note, I did my best to explain what the actual progress was like. If anyone took my advice I'm glad to have helped more people get it too! It really has a special flavor to own this and what makes it even better is to share with others and meet and talk with those who went through the trouble themselves!

Wushy had said on this page:

There are currently two realms with the AQ gates on EU.
Saurfang (En) and Ulduar (De)
Both opened at January 31st. 2009, thus making the PCT available April 30st or possibly May 1st.
The current war effort can be tracked at http://vlacula.no-ip.com/aq/

Keep in mind, that these will be the last realms to open with the AQ gates , thus making this the last chance of acquiring the Scarab Lord title.

Having been present at the last event on Area 52, I felt obliged to share a few hints for those who are unsure about re-rolling and particularly unaware of the very real possibility of the War Effort getting done before transfers are allowed, as most would leave their chances up with waiting for migrations to be allowed while finishing their quest lines calmly on their home realms.

The greatest danger is in how people sometimes don't realize that the progress speeds up quickly (exponentially), until it's too late. While the first half of the Effort is done slowly, with players leveling up and so on, the second half, consisting of now-easily farmable low level trade materials, the hardest being Runecloth (Horde turn-in), can be done in under a week by only a couple dozen dedicated level 80s, even though they'll take their time getting most of their quest lines completed first. Also, a lot of them will store loads of materials for last minute turn-ins so they can decide the day and time they want for the event to start. Therefore, the estimations on tracking sites won't be accurate at all as to when to expect the Effort to be done. If this happens up to 5 days before PCTs are enabled, you've lost your chance.

The website/addon is simply able to gather information on the current average rate of deliveries and calculate how long it would take for the remainder to be completed at that current rate. Since completion is now set to happen in 90-100 days, it means that progress only needs to speed up around 50% more to beat the clock. At 2 months left and few level 80s playing compared to what it will be in a couple weeks, we can safely say that time is short and there's no reason for you to wait.

In conclusion: if you really really want to make absolutely sure you get it, consider a re-roll right now. Ask yourself if anything in WoW right now is actually making you too busy for that. If you're worried that your old main might not get it, consider how upset it would make you not ever getting it at all even when you have one day to do it now. If the latter matters the most to you, my recommendation is clear. The "worst" thing that can happen if you do this, is getting two Scarab Lords, instead of none. Recruit-a-Friend and transfering out of the realm with the new character are available immediately, so it would be a safe bet.

Saurfang already has a significant ammount of re-rollers (as can be understood through their realm forums). This isn't only because of AQ, but about the appeal of a legitimately "legendary" realm name that many players wanting to re-roll for any reason will enjoy (imagine how many would want to play on the *Chuck Norris* realm).

For estimates of current progress, you should make your re-roll/transfer plans by keeping a close eye not just on the actual AQ War Effort turn-ins, but also make reasonable, informed assumptions about the realm's populations. On Warcraft Realms there's data that averages on 10 daily entries currently, but you can make it even better if you're there often by installing their lightweight census addon which offers a lot more than you can do using the /who command. The guild with the most members there is <Union>, which has already cleared Naxxramas 10. Having spoken personally with some, higher leveled players there fully expect for the Effort to be done before PCTs.

As for the German realm, Ulduar, it's quite similarly paced: only a week behind. They also have AQ threads on their realm forum, but only German is allowed.

Feragas mentioned that Ткач Смерти(RU) was also closed.

Also, some notes for US players:

From what I could see, Garrosh (US-PvE), Borean Tundra (US-PvE), Winterhoof (US-PvE) and Wyrmrest Accord (US-RP) all started in January 2009 (see "Online Date"), same as Saurfang (EU-PvE) and Ulduar (DE-PvE).

Looking into the realm data and also through their realm forums, you can see the large ammount of active characters already in them. For instance, Borean Tundra and Wyrmrest Accord are already in the top 20 most populated realms in the whole of US right now. All of them are non-PvP realms, which, all things being equal, lowers in-game attrition between factions and helps to speed up mat collection progress.

Garrosh is the least populated (although it was online earlier) and therefore your best chance, but with over 15k characters already, more than what Saurfang had by itself, it's quite possible for them to be done with the War Effort before PCTs as well. However, Borean Tundra seems to have a disproportionate ammount of low level players whereas in all the other realms the higher ammount of characters in a given level are found at the top range of 55-80. This makes it predictable that the War Effort progress there will be significantly slower than everywhere else!

A US player should go on any of these realms and ask around, also step into Ironforge or Ogrimmar to check the progress with their

FOR US GATE HOPEFULS:
Garrosh (US-PvE), Winterhoof (US-PvE) and Wyrmrest Accord (US-RP) were transfer servers created to lighten the population on other servers, they opened with the Gates Of Ahn'Qiraj already opened and the event closed. The only other server that opened with the gates closed and event intact was Grizzly Hills, unfortunately shorly after the server opened the opening event bugged and started without anyone knowing. Blizzard reset the gates and sadly they bugged again shortly after, only 5 people were able to complete the event. Blizzard then made the decision to leave the gates open as it was in the best interest at the time.

As of this time Borean Tundra (US-PvE), is the only server with the gates of AQ closed and mount and title still attainable. After watching the anti-transfer hate posts in thier forums and the rate at which the War-effort is being completed, I can say that the gates will more than likely be opened before transfers are up in April. Sorry for the bad news.

EDIT: Blizzard posted saying ALL new servers from now on will have the event disabled, Borean Tundra is/was the last chance. Transfers open April 14th BUT their is an auto complete script and the War effort will be auto completed within a month prior to transfers. Basically if you did not reroll and grind it there, Scarab Lord Acheivment is no longer attainable. Atleast for the time being.

As said above, achievment no longer available so don't bother transferring anywhere in hopes of obtaining this. Of course there could be a chance in the future they will allow people to somehow do this but its doubtful.

Copy and paste that ingame, and watch how you earned that achievement (not for real, but to trick people)

Am i the only one who thinks that a "Gates of Ahn'Qiraj" themed expansion be the greatest thing since sliced bread?

Commentaire de 420671

Did u know u can still do the quest for this?
all u have to do is start it and do the chains all the way to the end but the u cannot do the giant swarms of 60 elites that appear in tanaris for some reason

Does anyone know if there are any unopened gates left?

Commentaire de 272081

Does anyone know if there infact a few servers left that do have the gates closed?

Commentaire de Quaeras

Patch 3.3 closed the gates on some realms, but in a new and excitingly disappointing way. The roots are now back on the Dias, but the stone plate is not. The reward vendor is missing (the one who offers you the final epic weapon), and the gong is not interactable.

So close!

Commentaire de DonaldW

Maybe it's a stupid question, but anybody knows what will happen to the whole quest chain after Cataclysm? And if there will be any chances again to obtain Scarab Lord title & mount?

I've heard about bugs that allowed to use scepter, but I don't know if this isn't only a rumour.

There should be another "War Effort" to open the gates of Grim Batol.... you know... Deathwing!

Commentaire de quelianos

This title is the rarest in the game. On this title alone, you should be able to get into almost any guild in the world. For this reason, I'm sure anyone who sells their account with this title linked to it could probably earn tens of thousands of dollars.

Commentaire de Shoui

I was told that you loose your title now when your transfer to another server. Can anyone confirm this?.

Commentaire de xanderbox

There has to be some bug (excuse the pun) in order to get this.

Armory

Ktlól <Intent> Kel'Thuzad
Bloodelf Death Knight

Has the title and I personally saw on the mount. DK's were released years after it was impossible to obtain this . . .

We often see in these large online games bitter-sweet victories and forgettable events; while it is true that the first time you sever the head of VanCleef you feel a surge of pride, it is sullied by the knowledge of the thousands that came before you and those who will soon follow.

Actual history has many more memorable events because they are truly that, history. While the actions are repeatable, none are equal to that original moment in any way, but merely act as homage to that unique moment. This however is one of those true moments of game history, set in a world where history is usually repeatable.

To most they only knew of it second-hand, a friend of a friend hearing something about a hasty Black Wing Lair run; while to others it was a frenzied pace of night-after-night raids and countless hours of grinding to help form this Champion, to help herald in this event.

You may still be able to grasp at shadows of what this once was, and follow the path of those who did it before you, but in this rarest of quests there are none on par with the champions who broke the seal of Ahn’Qiraj to face the would-be god C’Thun, and quest beside us a Scarab Lord.

They, and only they, opened the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj, and ended the Great War Effort.

Just trying to make this a bit clear because read several comments that actually don't know EXACTLY how this event worked. This is a lengthy quest chain approx. 34 quests long. As of patch 4.0 this is still completable the only quest taken out of the chain was "Bang a Gong" which is what rewarded you the legendary mount. I'm not sure if this was intended but when the first person opened the gates, banging the gong was still possible for 10 hours, so more than 1 person per server can accomplish this however, (at least in vanilla WoW and most of BC) it was unlikely that there was another person that could complete bang a gong within the 10 hours because the chain and its entirety was intended for only a very select few to be far at a time. If your a Lore %^&*! you're gonna want to get this done before you can no longer complete it, which i have a feeling will happen because of azshara turning into a lvl 15 questing zone and other possible things. There is a somewhat small rumor that a patch glitched the gong and was completable until fixed only on some servers, even if this is false i wouldn't be 100% sure that it will never happen. The miraculously low chance at obtaining the one and only and ever will be, legendary mount, is worth it in my opinion. One more thing, there will be no AQ gate opening events on future realms EVER! this is fact, there was a blue post on mmo-champ a while ago, you can thank the @#$%s that server transfered just to ninja it and transfer back.

Confirmed: as of patch 4.0.3a this entire quest chain was removed from the game and those that completed it will receive an FoS achievement in a future patch. Reason being (obviously) the drastic changes to zones, quests, NPC's and dungeon quests. Blizzard simply couldn't find a way to keep this in without harming anything.

it's a shame they took it out the game :'(

"you can thank the @#$%s that server transfered just to ninja it and transfer back."

This achievement was only ninja'd ONCE by a transfer char! This was the first time ever too, that a transfered character became a Scarab Lord. It was back in autumn 2007 on EU-Die Aldor. Die Aldor is a german RP realm. Well, back in these days, Die Aldor was a little bit retarded. They were more busy telling people, that it's not RP-like to run when you're in a city, than leveling their characters. (My ex girlfriend played on this realm, that's the reason why I know so much about this realm. I can't count how often I said to hear "Screw this goddamn retarded realm!" xD)
Nevertheless, 9 months after Die Aldor was opened, a player from England transfered to Die Aldor and ninja'd the mount. Until this point, nobody even knew deffinitely, that it's possible to transfer with a completed scepter and bang the gong. There was a lot of whining on Die Aldor. They complained, that the were already planing their big RP event. But they didn't got even close to a completed scepter after 9 months! xD

For 1 1/2 year, every single new realm managed, to open their gates before the transfer lock was over. In Jan/Feb 2009, there were 3 realms that didn't managed to do this. EU-Area52, EU-Terokkar and EU-Azuremyst. This 3 realms were started shortly before the release of WotLK. There were not enough player that started a new alt at this point. So this 3 realms were low populated and were not able to collect the mats for the war affords. But about a douzen of players, on EACH of this realms, managed to complete a scepter. After 3 months, hundrets of player transfered to this realms and helped to collect the mats for the war affords. Then they opened the gates TOGETHER with the native scepter owners. Ninja'ing means that something gets stolen. But this was NOT the case on this 3 realms! About ~1000 people got their Scarab Lord achievement on this realms. Most of them transfered chars. Some of them chars, that were leveled on this realms.

Shortly after this happened, Blizzard decided to remove the AQ opening. It was not because it was ninja'd. It was because Blizzard wanted that the Scarab Lord achievement remains something special. So stop talking bullsh!t about things, you obviously know NOTHING about!

PS: Please rate this idiot above me down.

Commentaire de Vermitus

Is anyone able to confirm/deny if this Feat is still obtainable, not the title nor the mount, just the Feat of Strength. Is one still able to achieve it by doing the entire quest chain?

Commentaire de 793661

Simply put this is the greatest feat of strength, and title of all time. No contest.

Commentaire de Vereess

Hmm. This will be account wide achievement with title and mount for all characters?

Commentaire de Reignac

The Scarab Lord in the lore is named Shiromar.

Commentaire de Eido

Blizzard answering questions, Blizzcon 2014 (source):

Will we ever see anything like the AQ gates opening again?
Well we want to make it social like AQ, but the AQ gates totally crashed and burned the servers. We like the idea, it could be something we do again.

Commentaire de piggy34

The fact that there are only 5 screenshots uploaded of this mount that was available years ago proves how incredibly rare it is.

Commentaire de hevgirl

it's my opinion that they make a title for the Vétéran des Sables changeants as well,

considering the Scarb Lord numbers are dwindling...
(and the Veteran achieve is unobtainable with the Cataclysm revamp)
