World of Warcraft Dire Maul Guide

To do a Dire Maul Tribute run you need enough materials for building a frost trap:
1 Frost Oil created by Alchemist

1 Thorium Widget created by Engineer

Both are easy to obtain on the Auction House for a fair price.

You will also need the materials for an Ogre Suit:
4 Bolt of Runecloth created by a tailor

8 Rugged Leather found by a skinner

1 Ogre Tannin found inside the instance, binds on pickup

2 Rune Thread purchased from a vendor
The Ogre Tannin is found half way through Dire Maul and is bind on pickup so you will have to
trust the person that you let loot it.
It also requires you to kill some mobs that are otherwise unnecessary. If you come into the instance with an ogre tannin already
you won’t need to kill these mobs you can come back to them after you finish the instance the mobs will be friendly. So it might be
effective to send a ninja into someone else’s Dire Maul group to ninja the ogre tannin and hearth out. But I do not recommend this because some
people don’t appreciate it.

You create the frost trap in the Dire Maul, you do not need to have any profession. The same is true for the ogre suit, you do not
need to have any profession. Do not kill any of the bosses in the instance, sneak by them. This is done by being very careful.
If you see them run back!

You will need a rogue with 300 lockpicking to open the door after the second boss. The final boss is really easy to kill.
You will want to keep Cho’Rush the Observer, his bodyguard, alive through the entire battle. To do this, have someone offtank him
far enough away so he can’t heal the King. Kill the King first then the Observer will become your friend and give you the mad loots.

To get a lot of gold in dire maul tribute purchase invisibility potions and do the instance very quickly. Once you
kill the King you will be able to run to the entrance (all the mobs become your friend) without a problem and summon someone. You can
do this with 3 people (if you’re good) and summon a 4th from Orgrimmar who will pay 70-150g for the loot. I paid 70g for my Redoubt Cloak
because it wouldn’t drop for me.
