You’ve been doing Molten Core forever. Someone still needs Netherwind Pants, so you keep going, every week. You’ve resorted to drinking to ease the pain of WoW’s first raid instance. Why spend any longer there than you have to?
Fortunately, there are ways to speed up MC. The entire instance has been done in just over an hour, but that’s an intense, high-stress experience. Most folks would be happy to get it done in 3 or so, without alot of stress.
A couple of cautions:
- If you’re just starting out, don’t skip any mobs. The teamwork experience you receive from the killing, and the potential for Fiery/Lava cores, Core Leather, and BoE epics are vital. Materials from Molten Core help you progress in Molten Core; but they’ll also continue to fund your guild as you run through Blackwing Lair and higher.
- Initially, you will wipe doing this. Repeatedly. It will slow things down. You must make certain your guild understands that you’re investing time and repair bills now in order to save even more later. It will also make you much more effective players.
- This is not really a guide for beginners. While a raid at any stage can benefit from some of the advice in here, if you’re just starting out in Molten Core and need strategies, read Conquest’s guide. While it’s incomplete and some of it is dated, and I flat out disagree with some parts, it gives you some starting points. Your strategy has to adapt to your guild; not the other way around.
There are 4 basic keys to speeding up a Molten Core run:
Sounds simple enough, right? And it is. Need more details? That’s why I made this website. And it starts with the place alot of guilds waste the most time… Loot. Loot faster!
