the achievements exalted champion of the horde and the sunreavers are required to unlock all of the potential daily quests for the argent tournament.

i only listed the champion’s purse for the reward for the argent tournament quests. the other reward is champion’s writ which grants 250 rep for the city you bought a commendation badge for as well as an additional 62.5 rep for each other city.

the devourer of souls is the second boss encounter in the forge of souls.

here are some of the devourer of souls stats:
level: 81 – 82
classification: elite
heath: 647,088 – 903,227

here is a full list of her abilities

during the fight against the devourer of souls he will continually cast phantom blast on the tank. if your tank is a warrior, make sure they use spell reflection. phantom blast can also be interrupted, so make sure anyone who can does so, as this spell can do significant damage to the tank or anyone the devourer of souls has targeted.

periodically throughout the fight, the devourer of souls will leap to another player in the party and cast well of souls. this spell can last 13-15 seconds and does significant damage to anyone who actually stays standing in it.

also during the fight mirrored soul will be cast on a player. when a player gets this debuff the dps needs to stop attacking the devourer of souls, as this debuff reflects all damage done to the devourer of souls onto the player with the mirrored soul debuff.

when the devourer of souls casts wailing souls be ready to move. this spell is a general sweep of the room and lasts 15 seconds. dont stand in front of the devourer of souls when this is being cast.

when unleashed souls is cast, a host of wraiths appear which you cannot kill or target. the healer needs to be aware during this part as the wraiths can do substantial damage when a group of them has a single player targeted. if you are targeted, run away!

i figured i would put up a post about herbalism. i have been using the addon gatherer, that is where the map i have came from.

farming herbs from 350-400+ is easy. head to sholazar basin and go nuts.

here are the primary herbs in this region:

level	herb
350	goldclover
375	tiger lily
400	adder’s tongue

now, as you can see, you can very easily (and quickly) go from level 350 to over 400 in this region. frost lotus and deadnettle also have a chance to proc when gathering various herbs. deadnettle has a much higher chance than frost lotus.

the forge of souls is the first dungeon in the complex known as the frozen halls and it is the prerequisite to get into the pit of saron.

bronjahm is the first boss encounter in the forge of souls.

here are bronjahm’s stats:
level: 81 – 82
classification: elite
health: 539,240 – 903,227
mana: 166,760 – 279,323

here is a full list of his abilities

phase 1 of bronjahm:
during this first phase, bronjahm will cast shadow bolt at the tank anytime he/she leaves melee range. during this phase, he will also cast corrupted soul on a player and drain that players soul, which in turn creates a corrupted soul fragment. when a player has this debuff they need to run to the opposite side of the room that the tank is on. now, the tank can either stay directly in the middle while the played with the corrupted soul debuff runs away or the tank can kite bronjahm away while the player with the debuff runs in the opposite direction.

now, the tank does not need to kite the boss in every situation. if the dps is smart (and hopefully they are) and have good dps (3.5k+ is recommended, but as always more is better) they will use abilities/talents to slow or stop the corrupted soul fragment. for example, hunters can use concussive shot or a frost trap. mages can use slow as well as a frostbolt. other classes also have abilities to slow or stall a npc and it is recommended to use these if they are available.

phase 2 of bronjahm:
after bronjahm reaches about 30% health, he will teleport to the center of the room and will instantly cast soul storm, at this point it is recommended that all players stack on bronjahm to try and avoid the soul storm.

now, during this phase, it is critical that the healer pay attention to the players that will get feared because they will be taking a large amount of damage as they run randomly around the room and then race back to bronjahm to rejoin the fight to defeat him.
