Aq Loot Table
This page lists the loot found on bosses in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. Trash Mobs in AQ20 have a small chance to drop epic and rare items, however these are not specific to the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. The trash mobs also drop the uncommon scarabs and rare idols needed for the Ahn'Qiraj loot quests. All the bosses in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj also have a chance of drop one of several enchanting formulas. Temple of Ahn'Qiraj is a 40-man raid located in the southernmost part of Silithus. With AQ40 comes a new Tier 2.5 armor set, new class relics, new Enchanting recipes, reputation rewards with Brood of Nozdormu, Qiraji Battle Tanks, new weapons such as Dark Edge of Insanity, Kalimdor's Revenge, Scepter of the False Prophet, Ancient Qiraji Ripper, and Death's Sting to name a few, but much, much. The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj is a 20-man outdoor raid dungeon located in southern Silithus, released with Patch 1.9. Its release was joined by massive server-dependent event called the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. It can be found by entering the main Ahn'Qiraj Gate and continuing on the left path. It uses a similar loot system to Zul'Gurub, via tokens dropped from bosses which are used to complete quests. This NPC can be found in Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. On kill: +100 Reputation withBrood of Nozdormu until Exalted +300 Reputation withCenarion Circle until Exalted.
Hey guys,This is going to be a huge work in progress - But I'd like to get a list of items and list their priorities for different class/specs so we can make sure we're getting the best bang for our buck in each piece that drops in AQ40 to make our lives easier for progression/farming.
If I miss anything or have the wrong information feel free to correct it. I'm writing this from scratch. :)
Imperial Qiraji Armaments
Tanks >>> Rogues (Dagger) > Hunters
Imperial Qiraji Regalia
(?) DPS Staff = Healing Staff > Druid Mace
Qiraji Bindings of Command
Tanks = Rogues > Priest > Hunter
Qiraji Bindings of Dominance
Warlock = Mage > Druid = Paladin
Qiraji Spiked Hilt (AQ20)
Rogue (Dagger) > Paladin = Hunter = Warrior
Qiarji Ceremonial Ring (AQ20)
Warlock > Rogue(Dagger/set bonus) > Priest = Hunter
Qiraji Magisterial Ring (AQ20)
Mage > DPS Warrior > Paladin = Druid
Qiraji Martial Drape (AQ20)
Rogue = Warrior > Priest = Mage
Qiraji Regal Drape (AQ20)
Hunter = Warlock >> Paladin = Druid
So with AQ on the horizon, I wanted to share my ideas on loot priority, gear setup, and ultimately, who gets what purple pixels put into their toons bags.
The Prophet Skeram
Plate LOL. Nothing interesting here.
The Bug Trio
Priest Prio.
My reasoning is druids and shamans have the Wild Growth Spaulders available to them from MC with higher +healing.
ShamanPrio.
Druids and Priests benefit more from +healing while shamans gain more from mp5. But god damn, this is a sexy ring.
ShamanPrio. (with conditions)
This is a slight upgrade from the Silithus Lord neck. However, this is an upgrade from Jin'do's Evil Eye for Priests and Druids, but we should get the pre-C'thun BIS from the AQ20 Ossirian the Unscarred Head hand-in quest.
Battleguard Sartura
DruidPrio.
+Healing does far more for druids than it does for shamans. Additionally, spirit. =)
NO Prio.
Lok'Amir or Jin'do's Hexxer will most likely be in the hands of the Druids/Shamans, while the exalted Cenarion Circle mace or Fang of Korialstrasz in the Priests hand. Obviously, in order to be considered they have to have a suitable mainhand.
Fankriss the Unyielding
Druid/ShamanPrio.
Priests want to maintain their 3 piece set, and that generally consists of the bracers, robe, shoulder, gloves. Pick 3. Additionally, Priests have the Truefaith Vestments chest item. The upgrade for a Shaman or Druid in getting this item is considerably larger than for a Priest.
Viscidus
NO Prio...but Priest...kinda
This item is used primarily for Loatheb. The reason I put Priest Prio, is only due to the ability Priests have to increase our spell critical by 25% for a spell, and a crit heal will make a larger shield than a non-crit obviously. HOWEVER, if a Druid has the 5/5 Improved Regrowth and has the 50% crit modifier on it, AND if HoT's trigger a shield, then perhaps Druids should be first? Or next? I'm not certain. Also something to consider is that for Loatheb we will be gearing differently, but also Healing Touch gets full 100% power from +heal gear, while most other heals are less. This item needs to be tested.
Princess Huhuran
DruidPrio.
Spirit. Leather. Lots of +heal. Obvious drood item.
Priest/Shaman
Aq20 Loot Table
Prio.Druids have the Wasphide Gauntlets which are a linear upgrade from the T2 gloves, also gloves generally are one of the pieces that Druids want to maintain for their 3pt2. These gloves have a ridiculous amount of regen on them. Priests should think twice before jumping on these however, because the 3 piece must be maintained in AQ gear.
Aq 40 Loot Classic Wow
NO Prio.The high +healing, in addition to the regen makes this the linear upgrade for Priests and Druids from their Cauterizing Band/Pure Elementium Band BIS set from BWL +. Also an upgrade for Shamans from Ring of Blackrock.
The Twin Emperors
DruidPrio.
Leather. High +Heal. This is an upgrade from Corehound Belt or Sash of Mercy.
NO Prio. Gear Dependent.
Here's the thing with this item. Its high +heal. So yay Priests/Druids. However, Priests maintain their 3pt2 by BRACER, then shoulder, chest, glove...pick 2 others. Druids via BRACER, shoulder/leg, GLOVE. And shaman want regen. So this is basically whomever it would be the biggest upgrade for/who wants it.
Ouro
HEALER PRIO!
Get off our pimp hat yo! BiS for all healer classes, and BiS for style as well. Holy shit this thing is good. Its a huge upgrade for any healer. If you have Crystal Adorned Crown or Deviate Growth Cap, you should let those without it get this first however. Even so, its BiS until 8 piece T3.
C'thun
NO Prio.
We all have the same selections ultimately. This is an upgrade for any healer class.
NO Prio.
Same as above. Spirit! ITS A PRIEST ITEM. High +Heal! ITS A DRUID ITEM! MP5! ITS A SHAMAN ITEM! The answer is yes to all 3.
NO Prio.Priest?
Ok so here's the thing. This is literally the BEST IN GAME for Priests. Period. When going 8p Faith (Tier 3), and the different options you have, since you have 9 pieces of T3 to choose from, this is literally the best thing you can have equipped. Given perfect itemization of course, but it is literally ENDGAME perfection. Belt of Faith, Earthshatter Girdle, Dreamwalker Girdle. But back to gear that will be available. Priests are upgrading from either T2 Belt, ZG Belt (Shoulder/Belt Combo), or Firemaw's Clutch or Whipvine Cord. Druids are going from Vek's Belt, Corehound Belt or T2 Belt. Shamans are going from T2 Belt, Whipvine Cord, or Corehound Belt. So, it IS Best in Game for Priests, but it would be an upgrade for everyone involved. So there is that.
NO Prio.
Man, how I'd REALLY like to say Priest. But this is one of the many reasons why guilds who were progressing in Naxx still did AQ40.
FROMImperial Qiraji Regalia HANDIN:
(Chance drop from all bosses)
AFTER killing the Twin Emperors, you can handin the Imperial Qiraji Regalia and 3x Elementium Ore for this:
NO Prio.
It's amazing for all classes. Put this in your hands and you basically have a perfect balance of high +Heal AND the best Regen setup you can get for mp5.
