**<Templars> News**

- **Naxxramas** will be released on **Thursday, October 2nd**! Be prepared for **back to back weeks of solid progression**, Templars! I know we have been able to clear MC, BWL, and AQ40 week one of release, but that will not be the case for Naxxramas. These raid encounters have **intense mechanics**, and **require incredible coordination**! With that being said, I have posted a boss guide to Naxxramas in #⁠raid-assignments. Take a look if this raid is new to you, or use it to refine your memory. Also, **don't forget to signup** under #thursday-signups!

- You must be at least **Honored with the Argent Dawn in order to complete your Naxxramas attunement**. Make sure to farm the reputation needed to be attuned before the 2nd of October. Scholomance and Stratholme clears are a great source of rep, and Western/Eastern Plaguelands quests will also suffice.

- **Greater Shadow Protection Potions** will be the **primary resistance potion** used in Naxxramas. Each potion **requires fadeleaf**, and **grave moss**. If you are able to farm these materials for our raid effort, that would be greatly appreciated! The less gold we have to use on consumables the more we will be able to stretch our resources out over the weeks of Naxxramas progression.

- **Farm**, and/or **buy** as much **frost resistance gear** as possible! **100-150 is enough**. We will **not be able to kill Sapphiron without frost resistance gear**, this mechanic is unavoidable.

- @priest It is pivotal that each of you know the mechanics on how to **mind control the Understudies during the Instructor Razuvious encounter**. Please, take the time to watch this comprehensive guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2eCMXkdjLE

- Below are **three incredibly important consumables** we will need to bring into Naxxramas. I’ve attached a quick video detailing how to acquire each consumable! Get er’ done!!

One week out. Be ready @everyone.

*No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!*
