==Encounters and loot==
 
The bosses of the Vault of Archavon drop a random assortment of gear in a similar style as classic World of Warcraft before the expansions. Class specific pieces can drop for both the PvE and PvP sets. The loot can be all PvP, PvE, or a mix of the two. The loot is completely random and is not impacted by the raid makeup, so it is advantageous to bring a variety of class/spec makeups to increase the likelihood that someone can actually use the drops.
 
 
It should be noted that the PvP gear cannot be disenchanted but the PvE can.

Vault of Archavon is a raid dungeon found in Wintergrasp Keep. Players may only enter the dungeon while their faction controls Wintergrasp.

Achievements

The "Earth, Wind, and Fire" achievement is currently the most difficult achievement for this instance. Even though it only awards 10 Achievement point and has no associated title reward, this was intentional according to a Blizzard official. [1]

25 player

Dungeon denizens

Mobs

The instance has four Mob Archavon Warders in the main hall to clear before encountering Mob Archavon the Stone Watcher, as well as two Mob Tempest Warders in the east hall towards Mob Emalon the Storm Watcher and two Mob Flame Warders in the west hall towards Mob Koralon the Flame Watcher.

Things to remember with the trash
  • Melee DPS should run out before Whirl is cast or take very high damage.
  • Ranged DPS should run out of cast Rock Falls.
  • The offtank should taunt when the main tank has been Shield Crushed.
