Attunement to Molen Core Solo (mostly for Druids and Rogues)

I saw this posted on some forums and I thought I could share it with my friends. I recently got attuned to Molten Core and we took this shortcut too. Of course, we were not stealth, but I guess those sneaky rogues or druids can benefit from this too. ;)

********************************************************************************

Figured I'd write up a little guide on how to solo this quest as a stealther.

Prerequisites:

1 Shadowforge Key. http://www.thottbot.com/=2966 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=11000

1 Greater Fire Protection Potion http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5390 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=13457

1 Swim Speed Potion http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5645 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=6372

1 Azure Silk Belt http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4137 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=7052


NOTE: You may not need any of these, but they will certainly make the task much much easier.

Process:

Part One:
- Enter the Blackrock depths.
- Go left as you enter. Open the gate. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/1.jpg
- Proceed to your right. Open the gate. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/2.jpg
- Head inside, and look to your left. Open the door. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/3.jpg
- Unlock the Shadowforge Lock. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/4.jpg
- Head to the Grim Guzzler. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/5.jpg
- Open the back door. (See "How to open the Grim Guzzler door" below)
- Go left, through the door which leads to Ambassador Flamelash. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/6.jpg
- Stealth behind Flamelash, to the northernmost corner.

Part Two: (the tricky part)

You will see a little island in the lava off this ledge. This is your target. It is inhabited by four Fire Elementals, all with fire aura that can unstealth you, so be careful not to get too close. http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/7.jpg

There are also some fire elementals below the lava surface, to the left side, usually. You might aggro these when you jump. Try to position yourself in the middle, rather than left against the wall. This will also mean there's less of a chance of hitting the lava floor surface, which would mean a fall damage of around 1400 for a rogue, probably more for a druid. You don't want that added to the fire damage. After a few tries, you learn where you need to land, so trial and failure works fine here

- Drink your potion of Fire Protection.
- Put on your belt.

If you are a druid:

- Use Regrowth and Rejuvination.
- Drink your Swim Speed Potion
- Jump into the lava, swim towards the island. If the fire protection potion wears off, be
prepared to recast your fastest healing spells.
- Go catform, stealth.
- Go to the other side of the island.
- Dash and jump to the ledge.

If you are a rogue:

- Drink your Swim Speed Potion
- Use sprint. Jump as far as you can.
- Jump like crazy, try to be in the lava as little as you can.
- Stealth at the ledge of the island.
- Make it to the far-end of the island.
- Jump over to the ledge, vanish if you pull adds.
- Stealth across the bridge above you.
- Look to your left.
- Loot the Core Fragment http://www.thottbot.com/?i=35574 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18412

Part Three:

- Celebrate. You just soloed Attunement to the Core.

Addendum:

How to open the Grim Guzzler door:

There are three ways of opening the Grim Guzzler door.

- Pickpocket Plugger Spazzring for the key.
- Do Mistress Nagmara's quest. If you've already done it, talk to her to open the door again.
- Buy four Dark Iron Ale Mug from Plugger Spazzring and give them to Private Rocknot. This
will make the golem bash the door down.

Keep in mind, only through Nagmara can you open the door without making the bar go aggro, so be on your toes with stealthing.

Can you do this if you're not a Rogue or a Druid?:

Yes.

You need about 3 Invisibility Potions http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14217 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=9172, though, to get past the ugly parts. You should be able to figure out where you'll need them through trial and failure - I've never done it, but I have priest friends who have. I wrote up a proposed tactic for hunters - It should be on page two of this thread. Where are these people in the bar?!:

Plugger Spazzrig - http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/Plugger.jpg
Mistress Nagmara - http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/Nagmara.jpg
Private Rocknot - http://www.homle.com/leon/guide/Rocknot.jpg

I still can't do it! Are there any other tips you could give?:As mentioned in this thread below,

Using a Parachute Cloak http://www.thottbot.com/?i=9240 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=10518, or a Olaf's All Purpose Shield (horde only?) http://www.thottbot.com/?i=16453 // http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=9404,you should be able to featherfall almost all the way down to the island, making it impossible to be killed by the lava if you have the potions also suggested.
