World of Warcraft is the most popular multiplayer role-playing game in the world over the past ten years. She has gathered millions of fans who pump their heroes with great pleasure, go into raids in dungeons, exchange items, enter into alliances and wage clan wars. It is difficult to list all the outstanding features of this project, but special attention should be paid to the mounts.
Mounts are creatures on which a character can move with increased speed around the game world. There are a huge number of them, they take a variety of forms and give various bonuses for the speed of movement and ignoring certain obstacles. Many of them can be freely bought, others need to be mined independently, but the ones that are almost impossible to get are of the greatest interest. We are talking about such a mount as the Ashes of Alar, called by most gamers simply Phoenix. This is the rarest mount in the game, and a huge number of people wondered how to get it. If you still do not know, then it is time to enlighten you. So, in this article you will learn what the Ash of Alar is, where to get it and why it is such a rare creature.
What is this mount?
First of all, it is worthwhile to understand what the Ashes of Alar are. As you can already understand, this is the fiery bird Phoenix, which you can call for travel if you possess the artifact of the same name. Most gamers agree that this particular mount is the most beautiful in the game, largely because of this, everyone wants to get it for themselves. Naturally, there are other reasons, such as the fact that it allows you to increase your movement speed by up to 280 percent. And if you have the maximum riding skill, then the speed on Phoenix increases to 310 percent, which is simply unbelievable - you will move around the game world more than three times faster. In addition to its beautiful appearance, Phoenix also has incredible accompanying effects. For example, he leaves behind impressive flight of fire during the flight. In general, there are plenty of reasons for wanting to get the Ashes of Alar. However, what stops gamers?
Where to get it?
Well, it's time to deal with the details of a mining mount called Ashes of Alar. How to knock it out? Where to go after him? It can be obtained only in one place - in a raid dungeon called Storm Keep. This dungeon is not accessible to everyone - the minimum requirement is the presence of a seventieth level for your character. This means that heroes with a lower level simply will not be allowed there. Thus, you can get this mount only after reaching a certain level. This dungeon consists of three large halls and one main hall, as well as corridors connecting them together. In the first room you will find directly Alar himself, who will need to be killed. However, you will not get ash from it, so you need to move on. Here you will have a choice: if you go to the left, you will have to fight the Guardian of the Abyss, and if you go to the right - with Stargazer Solarian. Whatever path you choose, it will lead you eventually to the final hall, where the final boss will be waiting for you, from which you can pick up the Ashes of Alar. You now know where to get this mount, but there is still a very serious battle ahead of you.
Celtas Sunstrider
So, the final boss of the dungeon Storm Keep is Celtas Sunstrider. He is incredibly strong, so you should not think that you will overcome him without problems and be able to take what you want. This boss has an impressive range of spells, and also in itself causes serious damage. Moreover, if you go on a raid in a party (most likely, this is the case, because one hero in this dungeon has nothing to do: his chances of success are scanty), Celtas can temporarily take over the mind of any of the heroes, directing him against their own comrades. Add to this fireballs, rays of emptiness, distortion of gravity, and even the challenge of fighting Phoenix - and your opponent will seem incredibly formidable to you, you will not underestimate him.
So you have now gone all the way to the Ashes of Alar. How to knock it out? It's quite simple - you need to defeat Keltas and hope for luck. And it will be very useful to you, because you are unlikely to get the long-awaited Ashes of Alara the first time. You already know where to get it, but you still do not know other important details.
Dungeon Features
Now you have no questions about where to get the Alar Ash, but you still do not know the important points that determine the rarity of this mount. Firstly, you should pay attention directly to the dungeon itself - its visits are limited. You can enter the Storm Keep only once a week, that is, in a month you can visit it only four times. This means that you cannot farm the mount every day from morning to night, which greatly reduces the likelihood that you will receive it quickly. This already explains why the Ashes of Alar are so rare. “VoB” is a game in which you will have to make every effort to get the right artifact, especially if it is a Phoenix.
Drop Chance
But even with such rare visits to the dungeon, you could get yourself a mount if he had a high chance of a drop. However, everything is not so simple - the probability that the Cinder of Alar will fall out of Celtas after death is only 1.2 percent. This is incredibly small, and, according to probability theory, only in one out of a hundred attempts will you be lucky. Of course, this may happen earlier, but you should prepare for the fact that the Phoenix will appear from the tenth, twentieth or even more unpleasant time. Or maybe it won’t appear at all. And even if he drops out of Celtas, there is another barrier.
Party
As you already understood, it is not possible for one character to pass this dungeon, so parties up to 25 people go there. And the more people in the party, the less likely that you will be the first to catch the Ashes of Alar. That is why there are rumors that accounts with this mount were sold for more than a thousand dollars.
