Having raided on both horde and Alliance in vanilla and attuning on both sides as well, I can say that the Alliance Onyxia attunment was much worse. Especially if you joined a raid group that was already farming Onyxia; meaning that they had already completed the attunment with the majority of their roster. And getting someone to volunteer to help you escort Windsor after they already did it was like asking someone to let you kick them in the balls for free.

You forgot to mention that we had to keep those "keys" in our bags, which weren't 30 slot epic bags. You might have some 14 slot runecloth bags, or if you were lucky you might loot some 12 slot bags. Blizzard eventually created a "keychain" where the keys would be held, which freed up a lot of precious bag space.

In this one you mentioned the "key" for UBRS, and the shadowforge key for BRD... but there's also the Crescent Key for Dire Maul, the Skeleton Key for Stratholme, Entrance Service key for Strath (tho this just involves runing from the live side and hop to the undead side to loot it) The Scarlet Key and the Gnomeregan Key for the side entrance or shortcut, also not exactly a key but the Scepter of Celebras for Maraudon was a very much needed shortcut.

It wasn't that bad, especially since i was in a freindly guild that helped me with groups all the time, even for killing the drakes because - he forgot to mention - they were very powerful elites so you needed a 3 man party to take one down (i did the horde side).

Yeah I'm kind of glad they're in the past now, the alliance Onyxia attunement and the Karazhan attunement (along with the quest to be able to summon Nightbane) did feel like epic adventures but by god looking back on them was like 90% of the time spent wasted on travelling back and forth. Like I imagine people remember the original 'Legend of Stalvan Mistmantle' and the entire Morbent Fel questlines were these huge globe trotting adventures back when you didn't have a mount because you got it at level 40 (if you scrimped and saved all your gold) and not level 20. The Morbent Fel one required you to travel all the way to the Wetlands and considering you were human, you probably didn't have the flight path for it, which meant going to Stormwind, getting on the Deeprun tran and then running all the way from Ironforge, through Loch Modan, to Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands, killing murlocs, grabbing the item you needed from the ship they were hanging around and then flying back to Ironforge, back on the deeprun tram, back to Stormwind and then back to Duskwood and running all the way back to Raven's hill. IIRC flight paths back then needed to be 'connected' if you missing a flight path point inbetween your current location and your destination, it wouldn't connect.

Shitty thing was i had to get s buddy in a party lockpick, go out reset the dungeon and do it again and you were capped after 5 resets for 24 hrs. If anything that was one reason to bring a rogue to lp brd and scholo and for cc but only if you had soecced in improved sap which was 90% so it could break so you went in solo to sap and if it broke you either vanish or die so you dont pull mobs to the group. There was a thing for rogues called evasion tanking if the tank died you tried to pull aggro and evasion on a melee boss. Also as a rogue engineer using goblin jumper cables to res which was 60% chance to work or ffail. I used em a few times with success.

Don't get me wrong here, i REALLY love attunements, it's like the best thing about WoW when it was back in Vanilla, especially on TBC. I love it when you have to gain access to something cool and amazing (Dungeon and Raids, obviously). But the problem is, it's a MASSIVE pain in the ass to do it, and having it to became a group effort (raid even) back then WITHOUT the group finder tools... oh my god i can't even put a word on how annoying it is. Legion attunements system is far better, convenient wise. But that's the thing, if it's too convenient, the pay off is a "Okay, cool", but if it's too convoluted, the pay off is a "FINALLY". Both, in my opinion, is the same level of pay-off. It's really hard to find that "Sweet spot". Maybe they should make attunements to unlock mythic version of said dungeon/raid. With better gear rewards (and AP or any kind of Token future expansion will use), also with an "extra" boss (or extra boss phase). with leads to "Complete" version of the lore. It's like how Gul'dan Mythic are, on Normal/Heroic it's "Yeah we defeat gul'dan, he rift open a portal to legion World to summon sargeras but we defeated him before he complete the ritual. We also bring illidan soul back to his body" But on Mythic, the story goes "Yeah we defeat gul'dan, he rift open a portal to legion World to summon sargeras but we defeated him before he complete the ritual. We also bring illidan soul back to his body, *by beating the shit out of him when he was possessed by his inner-demon, which happen shortly after we defeated gul'dan, small detail, it was a cool fight though*" Illidan inner-demon phase make sense if we did the Illidan storyline, which require you to do dungeons and raid. tl;dr i miss convoluted attunements, but i hate it.

So I got them done, at least MC and BWL that was, and had to make up excuses for why I'd never join Ony raids. And btw, eventhough I was (and still am) a proud Horde I gotta admit that the Alliance attunement sounds much worse simply due to the escort quest, because those always, always, ALWAYS sucked.

Onyxia attunement was only long chain which was important to do in vanilla and it took only couple of hours with group of friends. Not a big deal. Boss itself is way too easy. 40man raid and it can be killed with 5-10 person with decent gear. Mc attunement 3min solo, you just needed to find rogue or person with key to open 2 doors. kzitem.info/news/bejne/14ek1J96hJxpin4 Others: only 1 person needed. Ofc good to get in some time. Epic mount: everybody who played game @ 60lvl even casual had the mount in 2-4 weeks if did anything smart. 50-100g/h was pretty easy to farm with herbalism or later in game with silithus text pages. I also remember that everything contributed hard in first times, but with better knowledge everything was pretty easy. The Axemen did MC back then under 1 hour and now if you looks private servers good players do it under 25min.. Naxx is only hard raid in vanilla and back then biggest problem was that even in "semi hardcore" guilds half of the players where clickers and keyboard turners. Before naxx it was not a big problem. :P

With MC and AQ a lot of the "effort" was lessened on personal effort in lieu of group effort. Whilst the MC attunement was simple the requirements to complete MC included enough players with Hydraxxian rep to smolder the ground keys in order to get to Ragnaros. When at Ragnaros, you then needed fire resistance at very least on the tank to ~300 which required rep with the thorium brotherhood ( ie. a lot of hand ins and a lot of dark iron ore - smeltered only at the bottom of BRD ). Don't start me on the war effort, deputising, "dearest natalia" -> "bang a gong", and the 22,000 carapaces.There's enough content in that to warrant their own videos, maybe a thought! Thanks for the throwback, awesome video :) look forward to the TBC kara attunement.

I want to say: The reason why Onyxia attuning was so anus for the raid despite the loot she drop was skippable. Is that once you kill her, you have to skin her and she would yield a small amount of Onyxia scales, which leatherworkers can make them into cloaks. These cloaks would protect you from a spell in Black Wing Lair called shadow flame. the dragon bosses after the suppression room would cast this shadow flame on tanks and anyone else in the cone, after the debuff wears off, it would deal 20,000 damage when tanks had 8000ish health, one shotting them. The cloak prevents this one shot debuff. So ALL those quests, are essential, to make them cloaks, to gear your raid, so you can progress through black wing lair. It was tedious as hell for the first couple of guilds going through BWL. After a few month you can buy these cloaks on the Auction House, but they were ridiculously expensive.

Naxx attunement costs money because the Argent Dawn has worked years on this operation, they do not want any random Leroy run in and ruin everything. So only the people they have full trust in, gain access to the operation. The exalted.. Revered and honored people have also shown some commitment to the cause, but not enough to be fully trusted, so they are asked for the contribution to show their good intent, and the money goes to the operational costs of the Argent Dawn. This is my take on it.

I remember I hated all that attunements. It was something annoying and uncomfortable. The game was new and there were more exciting things to do. You rather wanted to do pvp or do stuff where you would get an actual fast reward like gear. Back then loot, especially purple was so rare, that it gave you a long time satisfaction. It was like a drug, you wanted that feel to reexperience. Then Blizz changed the game, rewards in form of gear became easier and faster accessable. You didn't feel special about it anymore and got sated very fast. That was the turning point, you realised that that fast-awarding system didn't work out for you anymore and that a reward that is derived from its symbiotic relationship with difficulty, adversity, risk, restraint, perseverance, and patience actually made you happier for a longer time. Nowadays I miss those attunements.

I loved attunements. Even with later raids being easier, attunement created a small barrier to entry, the lack of which allowed for future problems mainly starting in wrath. While I loved wrath, I left wow at the end of that expansion as one of two things happened to players. You got into a good guild, started farming raids, and got bored very quickly 🙋♂️, or you could not find a guild to get in because they were already on farm and werent really recruiting. New players were needed occasionally as players quit, but the lack of any prerequisites meant you got nubs who barely knew how to play the game. So bouncing between boredom and hand holding frustration, WoW became a burden in 2009.

Horde's Ony attunement was worse, simply because Rexxar was a traveling npc who literally walked across the entire desolice zone. Not only hard to find, but also I believe killable by alliance, forcing you to wait on a respawn.

I enjoyed travelling quests but the groups were a PITA. Blizzard made it important that you had to group up for almost everything.

I remember attunement raids/groups. The part I hated that most was finding Rexxar and Misha, his love pet, who wandered the area around Maura (the whole map). I remember on my priest I went there daily for weeks and couldn't find the bastard. I finally just went there and sat in place, offering a gold reward for anyone that saw him and could direct me to him.

Just imagine the sheer cumulative retinal and ergonomic damage/stress caused by this stuff. On top of that, the sheer amount of productive man hours wasted. I for one am not a masochist and am perfectly fine with watching a video about it than actually doing it. My energies are better directed elsewhere. Just imagine what mankind could achieve if we could show the sheer dedication and torturous persistence those serious (even semi serious) Vanilla players must have shown, towards productive causes.

I remember Onyxia Attunement...only neeeded Drakkis blood ... but we didnt have enough ppl for full group for a run ... so we took in 2 randoms ... and they fuckin' ninjaed the blood ... at 2am in the morning and next day was first big raid night ... i ended up giving my account to guildmate who did the run once more to get me attuned ...

The travel in the horde version of the attunement was absolutely horrible, especially because you had to go through so many alliance controlled zones. And you were fighting elites which could easily wreck you often in alliance controlled zones. If you weren't playing a pet class, or you didn't have someone to help you out, it could be *so much worse*.

Maybe not part of attunement but I remember my guild having people grind rep in Silithus before AQ20. Something to do with nature resistance?

This is why I liked vanilla so much. I played FFXI before I started playing wow vanilla, so to me these quest chains where not that long and traveling in wow vanilla was fast and easy compared to what I was used to in FFXI.

I played primarily horde back in the day, and of course i went through the whole attuning process of onyxias lair. It was the bane of my existence from start to finish. But seeing the attuning process for alliance, I think they had it tougher than we did. That escort quest looks like pure cancer.

I know you're skipping dungeon keys, but imo the key for scholomance was a pain in the ass and pretty expensive for vanilla standards.

Sure Alliance part in BRD was way harder yet most of the population on the Horde side knew nothing about the lore and the whole lady Prestor story so I'd say much more thought was put into the Alliance attunement.

Listening to all this makes me happy I didn't get into raid until wrath. I already threw away most of life and money just lvling and doing dungeons, but to do all that crap to do just one raid, I probably would have no friends and horrible grades

My first raid was Kara I remember everyone going the and one person would have the key and would unlock the door and everyone would run in. Or even better a rogue with high enough skill would just pick the lock. Also I remember when someone would leave and we would get a new person someone would have to run back to the beginning and open the door if they didn't have the key.

So in order to run Onyxia Lair you had to do quests in dungeons which you would've ran anyway to gear up. 404 problem not found.

All the time and effort completing the quest chain to unlock the raid, the time spent getting 40 people together and then the time and effort taken to work together and suffer many wipes before finally completing the raid to get somebody ninja loot the drops compared to now where you can literally walk straight in, one hit the boss solo and take all the loot for yourself. Amazing how something can change that much over the years.

I was tempted to say you could have organised this video into a more logical path but this is what it was like after you completed the attunements you did look back and think if you had known what was needed you would have done it more efficiently. when people look back with their rose tinted glasses they forget that attunements really sucked for the guild members who had to carry the new members through. if you had run this many times it got quite annoying

Just going from memory (was ages ago of course) I don't think I got the key to UBRS for a looong time. We used to either use a rogue to unlock it or had some people in our guild that had the key to unlock it for guild runs.
