What the achievement asks
Complete each of the three Uldum assaults at least once. Five points, account-wide, both factions.
| Assault |
|---|
| Assault: Amathet Advance |
| Assault: Aqir Unearthed |
| Assault: The Black Empire |
One at a time, on rotation
Only one assault runs in Uldum at any moment, and you do not choose which. The three take turns, so this achievement is a matter of checking the zone until each has come round.
Assault: The Black Empire is the one that also appears in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, so it turns up in Uldum less often than the other two. Expect it to be the last of the three.
An assault has to be completed, not merely visited. Finish its objectives while it is running: an assault that ends with your progress unfinished gives nothing, and you wait for the next rotation.
The same rotation gates half of patch 8.3
Almost everything in the Black Empire category depends on which assault is up, so the daily check pays for more than this one achievement:
- It's Not A Tumor! and Combating the Corruption only progress during a Black Empire assault.
- All Consuming needs Consuming Maws, which only spawn where N'Zoth is attacking.
- Uldum Accord reputation comes from this zone's assault work.
So when the Black Empire assault is running, drop whatever else you were doing and go: it is the rarest of the three and four achievements depend on it.
Its counterpart
The Vale of Eternal Blossoms has its own version, Defend the Vale, with two different assaults and the same shared third.
