They were also involved in the Scepter of the Shifting Sands green piece questline.Īs time passed, and Naxxramas came out without accompanying world raid bosses, the popularity of the world raid bosses began to fade. They were initially killed for having the best items for their slots, and later farmed for their nature resistant gear when it became apparent that some Temple of Ahn'Qiraj encounters required it. Shortly before the Ahn'Qiraj event, the four Dragons of Nightmare were created, and added an entire new round of World Raid bosses. Their loot was also among the best at the time of their popularity. They were two of the game's greatest promotions of intra-guild cooperation and inter-guild rivalry, as killing them required tracking their spawn, forming a raid, beating the encounter, AND the opposing faction (and at times same faction griefers). Originally, Azuregos and Doom Lord Kazzak were added early in World of Warcraft.
