We reserve a set number of gear slots exclusively for you. For example with 2 Slots Guaranteed, you receive at least two pieces of loot from the raid that match your spec. The other slots are open to group roll. This is a middle ground between Group Loot and Spec Loot Priority.

WHAT IS SPEC LOOT PRIORITY?

You get full priority on every item that matches your class and specialization. If a piece of gear is for your spec, it goes to you. Other players in the raid can only take items that do not fit your spec.

Here’s what each of these Tempest Keep add-ons means, explained in detail

TIER 5 SET:

This is the class specific BiS high-end gear set dropped from the two main Phase 2 raids, Tempest Keep (The Eye) and Serpentshrine Cavern (SSC). This option secures all the Tier 5 tokens for your Helm, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves and Legs pieces. The set bonuses offer a major performance boost for every class. Getting your full Tier 5 set is a primary progression goal for any raiding character in Phase 2.

VERDANT SPHERE

This is an epic quest chain item that drops from the final boss Kael'thas Sunstrider. This option guarantees the Verdant Sphere for your character. Turning in the quest lets you choose one of four BiS necklaces for casters or healers including Telonicus's Pendant of Mayhem and Sanguinar's Flamberge. The necklaces remain top tier through Phase 2 and into Phase 3.

NETHER VORTEX PRIORITY

This is a rare BoP crafting material that drops from the last two bosses in Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern. This option gives you first priority on every Nether Vortex that drops during your run. The material is required for powerful epic crafted items like Belt of Blasting and Boots of the Protector. Securing Nether Vortex priority speeds up your BiS crafted gear progression.

TEMPEST KEEP - THE EYE ATTUNEMENT

This is the multi-step quest chain required to earn the Tempest Key and enter the Tempest Keep raid. This option completes the entire attunement process including the required Heroic dungeon runs in Shattered Halls, Shadow Labyrinth, The Steamvault and Arcatraz. Without the key your character cannot walk through the raid portal. Skipping this grind saves hours of pre-raid running.
