Dwarven (aka "Dwarvish"), is the primary [[Language|language]] of the [[Dwarves]]. Dwarves originally did not have a written language, instead passing their knowledge down through oral tradition. Humans taught dwarves how to write in [[Common]], which was much simpler than runes; and over the years, dwarves altered the language into their own design. Dwarven looks like a weird hybrid of titan glyphs and human letters.{{Cite|APG|140}}

'''Ulduar''' is a raid dungeon in the [[titan]] complex of [[Ulduar]] which is located in the [[Storm Peaks]]. It serves as the prison of the [[Old God]] [[Yogg-Saron]]<ref name="UlduarPreview">{{ref web |url=http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/3p1/ulduar.xml |title=Under Development (EU): Ulduar |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref> as well as the current residence of most of the [[titanic watcher]]s who have fallen under its influence.
   
  +
Ulduar was implemented in [[patch 3.1.0]], intended to be one grade in difficulty above [[Naxxramas]].<ref name="UlduarPreview" /><ref name="UlduarPreviewUS">{{ref web |url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p1/ulduar.xml |title=Under Development (US): Ulduar |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref><ref name="Blizzcast3">{{ref web |url=http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/archive/episode3.xml |title=Blizzcast Episode 3 |accessdate=2009-02-17 |author=Blizzard Entertainment}}</ref>

==Dwarven Primer (official translations)==
  
−
Here are a few Dwarven phrases and words, for which the translations have been officially confirmed by Blizzard, or have real world translations;
  
−
*"[[Bael Modan]]" = "Red Mountain" or "the Red Mountain"{{Cite|WRPG|190}} {{Cite|A&HC|55}}
  
−
*"[http://www.wowwiki.com/images/8/8a/Haggis.ogg Haggis]" = A dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or calf mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal.[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/haggis](WC2)
  
−
*"[[Khadgar]]" = "Trust"{{Cite|LG|36}} {{Cite|ToD|362}}
  
−
*"[[Khaz Modan]]" = "Mountain or Mountains of Khaz", named after the [[titan]], [[Khaz'goroth]].{{Cite|S&L|119}} {{Cite|APG|140}}
  
−
*"Loch" = a lake or partially landlocked or protected bay; a narrow arm of the sea.[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loch]
  
−
*"Lorn" = "Land", used in [[Lordaeron]]{{Cite|LoC|19}}
  
−
*"Magna" = "Protector", used for both male and female Guardians.{{Cite|CoH|129, 148}}
  
−
*"Thane" = "Mountain King" or "King"{{Cite|APG|56}}(WC3)
  
   
  +
Ulduar received good reception from the players who praised the instance's interior design, music, interesting and challenging boss encounters and the rich amount of lore. It is regarded by many to be greatest and most successful raid instance Blizzard has so far released.

===Dwarven Names===
  
  +
{| class="darktable"
−
In dwarven culture, family names often indicate [[clan]] names as well. They are lesser clans within one of the three main dwarven cultures. Some family names are derived from names of honor earned through some feat, which replace the family's true name. For example, [[Falstad Dragonreaver]]'s real name is Falstad Wildhammer. This shows that the new name could be passed on to their descendants, depending on the choice of the individual.{{Cite|APG|168}} Another example would be the members of "Thunderaxe", who joined the Dark Iron clan during the War of the Three Hammers, taking on the name "Pikesplitter".{{Cite|LoC|131}}

  +
  +
The dungeon does not follow a completely linear progression; Yogg-Saron and Algalon the Observer are regarded as the most difficult encounters, and are accessible independent of each other.

==Loot==
  +
{{main|Ulduar loot}}
  +
  +
Items obtained in 10 and 25-man modes share the models, but vary in color. Set bonuses can be obtained when 10 and 25-man set items are worn together.<ref name="ChiltonInterview">{{ref web |url=http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/32786 |title=Legacy Items Unveiled - Page Two |accessdate= 2009-02-17 |author=Cody Bye |date=5-12-2008}}</ref>
  +
  +
Item levels range is between 219-232 (10-man) and 226-239 (25-man).
  +
  +
==Raid setup==
  +
'''The 10-man version'''
  +
* A Naxxramas-geared group should do fine with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 damage dealers. With better gear a healer might be replaced by a damage dealer.
  +
* For some encounters a tank or healer might switch to damage spec. A good example of this is [[Hodir (tactics)|Hodir]], where one frost resistance feral druid can tank both phases of the encounter.
  +
'''The 25-man version'''
  +
* Nearly full Naxxramas 25/Malygos 25 gear is highly recommended to start and absolutely required for the later encounters. Expect most encounters to require 6-7 healers for new groups. Three tanks are required for many of the encounters and some such as [[Thorim (tactics)|Thorim]] even benefit from a fourth tank.
  +
'''Comparison'''
  +
* See [http://pwnwear.com/about/ulduar-guide/ this article] for a detailed side-by-side comparison of the differences between 10 and 25 man Ulduar, specifically how abilities or strategies need to change.
  +
  +
== Public Test Realms ==
  +
Ulduar was available on the [[PTR|Public Test Realms]], however, the entire dungeon was not tested at one time. The United States and European PTRs tested different encounters. All encounters were tested but [[Yogg-Saron (tactics)|Yogg-Saron]] and [[Algalon the Observer]].

Ulduar bosses

The Ulduar bosses

Ulduar is a raid dungeon in the titan complex of Ulduar which is located in the Storm Peaks. It serves as the prison of the Old God Yogg-Saron[1] as well as the current residence of most of the titanic watchers who have fallen under its influence.

Ulduar was implemented in patch 3.1.0, intended to be one grade in difficulty above Naxxramas.[1][2][3]

Ulduar received good reception from the players who praised the instance's interior design, music, interesting and challenging boss encounters and the rich amount of lore. It is regarded by many to be greatest and most successful raid instance Blizzard has so far released.

Encounters by location

Bosses Monsters
The Siege of Ulduar
The Antechamber of Ulduar
The Keepers of Ulduar
The Descent into Madness
Supermassive

Ten of the raid dungeon's fourteen encounters have hard modes (different from normal and heroic modes).[4] Algalon the Observer is a hard mode-only but optional encounter. Encounters completed on hard modes reward achievements as well as extra and/or improved item rewards.[1][5] Siege vehicles play a role in the dungeon's first encounter, Flame Leviathan.[1]

The dungeon does not follow a completely linear progression; Yogg-Saron and Algalon the Observer are regarded as the most difficult encounters, and are accessible independent of each other.

Loot

Main article: Ulduar loot

Items obtained in 10 and 25-man modes share the models, but vary in color. Set bonuses can be obtained when 10 and 25-man set items are worn together.[6]

Item levels range is between 219-232 (10-man) and 226-239 (25-man).

Raid setup

The 10-man version

  • A Naxxramas-geared group should do fine with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 damage dealers. With better gear a healer might be replaced by a damage dealer.
  • For some encounters a tank or healer might switch to damage spec. A good example of this is Hodir, where one frost resistance feral druid can tank both phases of the encounter.

The 25-man version

  • Nearly full Naxxramas 25/Malygos 25 gear is highly recommended to start and absolutely required for the later encounters. Expect most encounters to require 6-7 healers for new groups. Three tanks are required for many of the encounters and some such as Thorim even benefit from a fourth tank.

Comparison

  • See this article for a detailed side-by-side comparison of the differences between 10 and 25 man Ulduar, specifically how abilities or strategies need to change.

Public Test Realms

Ulduar was available on the Public Test Realms, however, the entire dungeon was not tested at one time. The United States and European PTRs tested different encounters. All encounters were tested but Yogg-Saron and Algalon the Observer.
