Icecrown Citadel Raid Weeklies

Patch 3.3.2 not only brought the release of the final bosses in Icecrown Citadel. It brought the inhabitants of Azeroth the seasonal holiday as well as some other changes- such as the Icecrown Citadel Raid Weeklies. These quests are only available in Icecrown Citadel raid instance. There are five different random weekly quests. The most rewarding part is that these quests are available in 10 and 25 man content – so you are able to complete both each week. The rewards can vary. In addition to gold, there are bind on equipment items as well as epic gems and varying amounts of gold in the "Sack of Frosty Treasures".

On 25 man content, we, as a guild, have seen Securing the Ramparts as well as Residue Rendezvous. The first quest had us slaying the Rotting Frost Giant. Honestly, he was a bit more intricate for us than a few of the bosses- but that is the element of unknown. It's actually pretty awesome to adjust on the fly to a "boss" that you have no experience on. Residue Rendezvous had me slightly nervous as Rotface had given us a few hiccups. However, we did a one shot of both Rotface and his brother Festergut, allowing us to complete the quest quickly. Another note was that as long as one person completes it, it becomes available as completed for everyone. This makes me think a DI could be used in the event of a wipe occurring on one of these bosses.

On 10 man content, we saw the Blood Quickening, but we didn't get that far. All in all, it's a nice additional quest on the weekly ideas that are raid oriented. It seems that Blizzard is indeed pushing and making content available to all members, and also throwing emblems around as well. I know our own raid decisions this week were impacted by the raid weekly. For example, we did not continue in Icecrown Citadel on Wednesday because we didn't want to risk losing the raid weekly rewards.
