"To enter Naxxramas, you must become attuned (which you do so through the Argent Dawn) and then enter a teleporting spire in the Eastern Plaguelands. Although there is a green raid entrance deep inside Stratholme, as of 1.11 it is still blocked off by a gate."
Co-ordinates to naxx are 39.25
Scroll up buddy... Eastern Plaguelands
Naxxramas is an Attunement needed instance just like MC, and it IS a large number raid. Loot is better than MC by a long shot. If you played warcraft III you might know a famous inhabit of Naxx, Kel'thuzad..
If you are a level 70 you can go to the Southshore in Durnholde and SEE Kel'thuzad as a human, not a lich

Actually, you will be surprised at how many people actually ENJOY pre BC content. In fact this morning... i was doing molten core and the same people running it are doing BWL tomorrow... so it all depends on the person playing as to weather or not they will be doing level 60 raids at level 70..
Black temple, mount Hyjal, and the like have been so over visited people have lost their interest in them and just want a taste of a nice relaxing pre BC visit.
The attunement quest is inside the chapel. You get the quest from a lady who is sitting next to the table, which is in the middle of the chapel, and she will be on the right side of the table.

THE ENTRANCE TO NAX IS IN EPL AT 40,26
I was wandering around the entrance area of naxxramas, and I noticed a cat named Mr. Bigglesworth walking around, attacking the little maggots. It was listed as a level 5 critter so I gave it a wack and killed it. as soon as he died Kel'Thuzad yelled.
"No!!! A curse upon you, interlopers! the armys of the scourge will hunt you down! You will not escape your fate..."
has anyone else had this happen to them?
and by the way, does anyone know how to get OUT of naxxramas?
lol reference from austin powers
You can only leave Naxx through Portals, using your Hearth Stone or Dying and Rezzing at the Spirit Healer. There is no actual 'exit' that will teleport you back outside to the ground.

Alright , i saw alot of post regarding questions about naxxramas. I will try and explain as much as possible in this post.
1 - Attunement
= The attunement quest for Naxxramas can be picked up at the lights hope chapel. Im pretty sure you dont need any requirements to pick up this quest. 3 possible ways to get attuned, the easiest of wich is being exalted with "Argent Dawn", being exalted with this reputation will grant you free access to Naxxramas.
The second best choice to entering Naxxramas is being revered. My guild is currently doing Naxxramas and most of us got attuned at Revered.
If you are Revered it will only cost 30g + 1 nexus crystal + 2 arcane crystal , thats it thats all , nothing more to do once you turn in these item to the quest giver. The quest giver for the naxx attunement quest is at the lights hope chappel as i explained earlier. I dont remember the name of the npc , but its a girl sitting on the right side of the table. The name of the quest is "The Dread Citadel".
You can also get attuned at Honored reputation with the "Argent Dawn", however this is the option that will cost you the most. It will cost you 60g + 2 nexus crystal + 5 arcane crystal + 1 righteous orb , all of wich will come up to around 200g more or less depending on how the prices of these items cost on your server. Once you complete this quest you may enter Naxx wich is kinda located at the left of eastwall gate. A previous user posted a pic of where Naxx is located.
2 - T3 prerequisites
= Although most people will not get T3 for a very very long time, it is important to pick up the quest called : Echo's of War.
This quest is a prerequisit to anyone who wishes to get hold of T3 set items. I also heard completing this quest will make you eligible to other naxx regarding quests.
This quest can also be picked up at Lights Hope Chapel in Eastern Plagueland. The npc giving this quest is a women palladin sitting on the same table as the npc who gives the quest for naxx attunement. The npc looks like a palladin with t2 set. This quest will ask you to go kill trash mobs in Naxxramas. Most of wich are easily accessible with almost any guild that has some skill.
3 - How to get t3 ??
= Like i mentioned above , to get t3 you must complete the quest : Echoe's of war. Once this quest is complete. An Npc will give out quests to get T3. Unlike t1 and t2, t3 is harder to get. To get T3 you have to kill bosses in Naxx wich will drop epic pieces such as desecrated pauldrons and e.t.c.
Once you grab hold of one of these desecrated pieces, you bring them to the NPC wich will probably be in Light hope chapel and he will craft the T3 piece with the desecrated item you have brought him.
However he will also ask you for other mats so he can craft the t3 set pieces. He will ask for mats such as Plate metal scraps and leather scraps and others. All of wich are droped from mobs located inside Naxxramas. You get a minimum of 1 these per pulls , almost every pulls drop some of these scraps. These scraps are blue colored.
4 - Naxx walktrough ( the instance ).
= Naxx is divided in 4 sections. Spider , Deathknight , Plague , abomination wing.
At my knowledge there is 3 boss in each wing and 2 others in the end ( being a frost wyrm boss and Kel thuzad ).
My guild was able to go through the deathknight wing easily the first time we went to Naxxramas. We cleared everything from the begining of the deathknight wing to the 1st boss of that wing : instructor raszuvias.
The boss however was not as easy as the mobs. He was actualy pretty difficult. All i can say for this fight is , your priests better be good at tanking :D.
In the first area of the deathknight wing lies an npc called Omarion. He will teach a tailor , leatherworker or blacksmith how to make 2 pieces of epic frost resis gear if you are revered with argent dawn. If you are exalted he will teach you how to make a 3rd piece of epic frost resist gear wich is the chestpiece.
Some of the mobs from Naxxramas give argent dawn reputation , i know the deahtknights on the steeds gave about 50 each , not quite sure on the other wings though. I have been told the abomination wing is the hardest wing. From my experience , it was a pretty hard first pull. The first pull in abomination wing pulls 4 abominations at once. All of wich hit for very very hard , we were able to do this pull , i tanked one of these abominations and they werent that hard , my gear is 3/8 might and 5/8 wrath. These abominations stun the tank and go for another target. They also execute the tanks when they are at 20% health therefor it is very important for the healers to not let the tank go below 60%. The solution my guild has picked up for the first problem , the one i mentioned a few seconds ago , the one about abominations stunning and going to another target is , we gave our tanks free action potions wich made us able to tank these guys without getting stunned.
5 - The legendary staff.
= Alright for all those wondering about the new legendary staff. From what i red , to obtain this staff you must go through a very very long process. I dont think anyone will get this staff for a very long time. To get this staff you must aquire 40 splinters of atiesh wich drop at about 1/3 on each boss. Once you gain all 40 of these pieces, you can make the frame of atiesh, wich will begin a quest. The top piece can be gotten from Kel thuzad, however im not sure if you need to have this quest to be able to grab the top piece from Kel thuzad.
And the bottom piece is with Brann Bronzebeard who was last seen in silithus. My guess is you probably gonna need to be able to clear AQ40 fully to be able to get bottom piece. Now in the plague wing there is one type of mob , the gargoyles. These guys do a poison debuff that stacks , the more of these debuffs you got the more nature damage you take every few seconds. Once these gargoyles reach about 20% health they will turn into stoneform therefor regaining all there health. It is important for warriors to keep all their rage and do execute when full rage and when this gargoyle is at 20% , same for rogues , keep your points maxed and use them when this mob is at 20%. If you do not succeed to kill him on his first stoneform , it is pretty certain that it is a wipe :/ atleast this was the case for us.
Well thats pretty much all i know about naxx , i hope i answered some of your questions. Feel free to correct me on any mistakes i may have made in this post. Thank you and have a nice day. ;)
Very well written posting. However, this makes me fully understand how crazy the item aquisition process is in this game. Unless you have no life in the real world (this is not the real world fellas) you have no chance of ever hoping to be able to compete with the hardcore players in this game. This game is completely dependent on aquiring these impossble for the "average joe" to get items. Gameplaying skill doesn't really matter much when you have a toon with tier 3 gear against one without. How many hundreds and hundreds of hours (if not thousands) will you have to sit in front of your computer trying in vain to get some of these items? To be competitive in PvP in this game you HAVE to belong to a raiding guild, competitive raiding guilds have to have peeps that are on most of the time in order to be competive. Its a vicious enless cycle that will either force you to have no life in order to be in one of these guilds to be competitive in PvP, or just quit in disgust since you get zerged all the time in PvP.
I wholeheartedly agree with your comments. As a person who plays for the enjoyment of it, not like a job, it is increasingly frustrating to deal with the hardcores who get pissed if you wind up in their AV group and aren't as purple as a corpse. I am all blue, with solid gear and have run all instances short of AQ, Naxx and Onyia, but I am starting to find it better to go with the Chinese Farmers than with some of the arrogant players dressed in epics (that their guild got for them by dragging them through high level instances) and put up with their comments when an unlucky pull happens.
I'd like to say something about this because it was a misconception I had until fairly recently myself. My guild ("Paradise", Gurubashi Alliance) clears MC, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40 up to Twin Emps and Naxx deathknight wing every week. At first I thought "damn, this is gonna take forever" but really it doesn't. If you have 3 hours a day, usually starting when you get home from work or whatever you do, then you and anyone else can get these items. I have full BF and NS, and I still regularly go out and socialize with friends. It's just that my character's flat broke most of the time and loses DKP because i don't take the time to farm for the guild. You can have a life and still raid BWL and MC and shit. MC and Ony take less than 3 1/2 hours, about the time it takes to go to class and get back. Dunno, just wanted to throw that out there.

Blue poster on the WoW forums stated you would be laughable if you wore tier 3 at lvl 70 wonder what that means for tier 2
No, Kel'Thuzad was working for the Scourge before Arthas. Kel'Thuzad created the Cult of the Damned and distributed the plague that turned people into the Undead. Without Kel'Thuzad the scourge or forsaken would not have existed. Arthas as a human actually kills Kel'Thuzad in Andorhal and then once Arthas is corrupted by Frostmourne, Tichondrious, a minion of the Burning Legion and a Dreadlord, has Arthas gather Kel'Thuzad's remains and resurrect him. That's when Kel'Thuzad takes on the form of a Lich. Necromancers all practice and train in what Kel'Thuzad mastered, raising the dead.
Arthas isn't in Outland, nub. He's in Northred, Icecrown Citadel.

Arthas being a level 90 or 100 raid group actually makes sense,
because arthas while not being so powerful defeated illidan (which currently is thrice as tough as kel'thuzad who no one ever downed him yet)
At that time, he wasnt even the lich king yet.
So basically, arthas is the strongest villain EVER in world of warcraft.
I read that yes, it might take up to 5 years. But there will be smaller expansions with the patches for BC, but the major ones could increase the level cap by 20 levels. So you could go from 70 to 90.
There are 4 continets yet to show up on the face of azeroth (ok one isnt really a continent, but a big country).
Kul'Tiras - Daelin and Jaina's country
Undermines - Goblin underworld city, REALLY big continent. (In fact it is probably 100% chance it will show up. In the collector's edition making off dvd you can see the map on a whiteboard.)
Northrend - Arthas' kingdom.
AND, there is the sunken continent of the Nagas. Which is called NAZJATAR. They said it will likely be an instance.
Where queen Azshara lives.
They said that sometime in the future, there will be a MAJOR graphics update. So it isnt really a problem waiting 5 years. since this update could be in 2 and half years.
I've been playing raquetball for 8 years, and I'm still improving. My dad's been golfing for 40 years and has just broken 80.
The only reason 5 years seems like a long time is that video games have traditionally outlived their playability really quickly. WoW is the first game I've played that is constantly presenting players of all skill levels and time constraints with new challenges to perform.
Yet she is worshiped as a demi-god. The satyr prince Xavius was killed, but the satyrs still worship him in the hope he will return, what does that tell you :P
She'll be back, and you all know it :D
Anyway, the naga are immortal aren't they? They didn't sacrifice their immortality with the world tree like the night elves did, and Azshara did manage to complete the transition to Naga, thats for sure.

Ive been searching my server for a naxx running guild for a few months now. Just curious, does anyone ever run naxx anymore? How big of a group of BC players does it take? can a handfull of 70s do it? How does raid looting work; is it the same as normal group looting? Are the desecrated (pieces) universal for all T3 Gear, or is there a Cloth (piece), a leather (piece), a mail (piece)
... etc? Does everyone get a peice with each boss or is there just one player who loots it? I havent found any answers to these questions in any posts. I think alot of curious pre-naxxers have been trying to find this info. Thanks.
Actively recruit people to do this with you. On my server my guild (casual raiding downed Gruul Kara on farm)put up a post asking who might be interested. The response was amazing! It looks like we'll easily fill out a 40 man with geared 70's from the biggest raiding guilds on the server.
Post a similar topic on your realm's WoW forums. Look for people that like the old content. Naxx is still challenging even at level 70 that you might get some people that are interested just for the experience. Then again I am on a RP/PvE server so we're weird to begin with.

This sword is really great but its still only legend....(The Coruppted ashbtinger dropped from the 4 Horsemans and the legens say u need to do a thousand series of Qs to get the cleanesed ashbringer)But noone knows more about it...
I'm a fully epic'd level 70 warrior.
Just for fun I went into naxx and tried to clear a few trash mobs.....
They hit me for about 2k per whack. Insane....
I have a lot of respect for anyone who could do naxx at level 60.
I rushed to lv 70 pretty fast so i skipped these top end instances and content pre TBC, this sounds very interesting indeed, maybe a place to look into visiting once a few karazhan runs are under our belts.
Hoping they make Heroics of all the old instances so I can get a chance to do them and be actually worth the time.
They are tuning this dungeon for Level 80 in the next patch, also it will be changed from a 40, to a 25 man scene, and it may be intoduced as an entry level raid dungeon for level 80 players.
Pre BC (apparently) This was the hardest raid in the game and was only completed by 3 of the best raiding guilds!!
It still has not been completed on the venture co realm... if you are on the venture co server and want to get a group, contact Ironface as he is tryin to organise a Naxx raid.
At Blizzcon in an interview with Game Informer Blizzard officially announced plans to update Naxxramas to a lvl 80 25 man dungeon. Theyre doing this to make it tie into the story of Wrath of the Lich King and because they thought it was one of their best works.
If you can find a buddy who isn't questing, join a party with him and convert it to a raid. You can then go inside all you want. Just remember to wait until your hearthstone is cooled down or be ready to suicide/spirit rez your way back out; there's no exit out of there. :)
For Naxxramas at level 70 you still need Extremely High DPS
because if you don't kill the mobs fast enough... they just get their heath back up *sigh*
so after my first 10 man attempt failed on naxx
i started from the 1st Raid. MC and Onyxia.
Onyxia is on farm staus with a few of my regular Old world raiders MC is 50% done. and ive been Making old World raiding more important then the Shitty BC raiding. *Admit it Pre-BC raids are soo much Better Made then BC raiding.
You just dont have a Better raid then Naxxramas.
-Grand marshal Spartangl
Stormwind alliance army
Shandris Realm US Alliance.
Isn't it just Stoneskin Gargoyle's that casts Stoneskin at 20 % and get their full hp back?
A 25man group on Rexxar (Paper Street I believe) Cleared Naxx to get ready for SUNWELL (I think thats the next 25-man). so It's defiantely doable with possibly 15-20 :)
Gotta love the old-school raids. FUN TIMES
Lol, Onyxia was 5 manned ALOT of times Pre TBC, And yes, Naxxramas is hard for 40 T5 70s, As for 70 instances is very much tank and spank, while in naxx EVERY class needs to do something, its way harder than SSC.
Wtf are you trying to say?
Sirbobby, you're an idiot, you didnt 10 man naxx with anything less than t6 players and even then the amount of time it would take to outlast and kill some of the bosses is just silly, gg, jesus.....
pretty straight forward this raid owned ballz back in the day and it still owns 7337 geared 70s
naxramas was unveiled after the scourge invasion event about 8 months to a year before the release of burning crusade. It was THE hardest raid imaginable at the time, and only a small handful of raiding guilds ever made much progress inside. Even kel thuzad was only downed a small number of times, world wide.
The burning crusade opend up and the shit hit the fan, and the difficulty of naxxramas was left behind.
Even today, pre wrath of the liche king, with many guilds wrist deep in sunwell, naxxramas is no cake-walk.....estimates it would take even today a solid raid group of at least 20-25 lvl 70's to take the place on, and then no guarantee of success. The fights were designed to push 40 people to the limit.....sometimes you still need 4 main tanks and several off tanks (4 horseman fight) with attendant healers,a nd in others you need a LOT of healers on rotation (spider goddess fight).
One person said they (a 70 epicced mage) and a rogue (ditto gear level) had great difficulty downing one trash mob they managed to get alone. Granted, no healing, but an insane amount of dps considering they had 10 levels on the thing, and they still just barely killed it.
Consider then a casual group trying a boss in there.....they would get eaten alive.
I myself was fortunate enough to experience most pre-BC content and I can tell you for sure, you're missing out if you haven't seen it. Naxx was a great instance and I can't wait for it's return, but what about the other instances?
I hope someday they bring the rest back and upgrade them to 70 or something.
One thing to mention that many people seem to forget, yes MC is cool (the very first 40 man), Onyxia is cool too, BWL (NEFF FTW), and Naxx (OMG 4 horsemen RUN)as well as AQ20 and ZG.
But AQ40 has seemed to skip alot of peoples minds and I assure you AQ40 is on the coolest ones. Check out the bosses on thottbot and the instance is so big you get to mount in there on special bug mounts that drop off the trash, trust me, do BWL do Naxx, but trust me AQ40 rocks too.
(oscred lvl 63 exodar realm)im trying to bring bak these pre BC raids not going so well ZG is pretty much only thing i did do 1 AQ 20 and tried to get 1 MC raid but MC failed cus no 1 wanted to come and AQ 20 had disagreeing ppl tht 1 time and we only killed 2 bosse hint: u can warp ppl in raids even if there not atuned u just need a lok thts atuned and 2 others tht are atuned and u can get ppl in
i heard the naxx we know will disapear for the lvl 80 one in wotlk kind of disapoint me since i like pre-bc stuff and where will the t3 go? other then that i would have loved to get some weaps from there for my 60 chars
it wont dissapear it will be moved to northrend
BLIZZ HAS TO MAKE ONYXIAS LAIR AND BWL for 80's or i mite cry, i started pre-bc so i saw ALL the groups who did Lbrs and Ubrs, anyway tried to get a final raid together for Naxx, and we wer trying 2 get 25 ppl, but cud only find 18, and then ppl started leaving. i wish we had been able to do it, but looks like im waiting till Wotlk
