You most likely won't be able to get this after Wrath hits.

You can still get the title "IF" (nothing official here, just speculation) you had a vial pre-patch. My guild downed Vashj prior to the patch, but ran out of time on Kael. Last night we downed Kael post-nerf just to get the rings. After turning in the Vials, I got the "Hand of A'dal" feat of strength and the title was selectable amongst my other titles.

Kommentar von Icecoldcoke

If you had the quest before the 3.0.2 patch, you will still be able to get the title.

Kommentar von 168720

Interesting note: I had the vials quest just before the patch but my first attempt run through SSC and TK didn't come until just after, at which point someone shared the quest and I was able to accept. I had two identical copies of the quest in my log and was able to turn one in (only one set of vials). No idea whether the one I turned in was the pre patch or post patch version. We'll see this week if I'm able to get the vials again.

Also, a question that might be hard to answer: I've clearly got the pre patch vials quest but I never started the BT attunement quest line. Any way to know if both quest lines needed to be started before the patch to get the title?

Kommentar von 93865

This may shed some light on the matter.

I had completed the BT attunement chain up Ruse of the Ashtongue pre-3.02. Post 3.02, I killed Al'ar and then Rage Winterchill. Upon attempting to start "Entry into the Black Temple", I received the quest, but also an error message stating "You do not meet the requirements for this quest", leading me to believe that, as implied by the anecdote above, Blizzard has added a second, identical attunement questline that differs only in that it does not award the title.

I have not yet acquired a Kael vial - I had the Vashj vial pre patch - and will follow up with whether am am able to obtain the title.

EDIT: I obtained the Kael vial tonight, and obtained the title.

If you have the old questline in your logs, it is still possible at this time.

Kommentar von 172413

ok so i have the vials quest but haven't done the quest in SMV yet the vials quest is pre- 3.0.2 will i still get the title when i go do the quest in SMV if i go ahead and turn in the vials quest now?

Kommentar von 192609

I received this title yesterday and I didnt have any vials pre-patch. I had done the BT attunement quest up to Fathomlord and I was still able to get the title. So its not dependent on the vials.

Kommentar von TMWNN

will the quest I recieve from behind FLK be the new post patch one ?

Talked to a friend tonight who today got the title after killing Rage Winterchill. (Or, more accurately, interrogated him, as I also want to get the title and wanted to make sure I understood his steps.)

He had the pre-3.0.2 version of The Vials of Eternity but only completed it post-3.0.2. He had completed the Black Temple quest chain up through, but not including, The Secret Compromised. In particular, he only killed Fathom-Lord, and received The Secret Compromised, post-3.0.2.

Since I am in the same situation he was in I am hopeful I will also be able to get the title. I am keeping my fingers crossed I'll be able to kill Fathom-Lord (and Rage Winterchill, and re-kill Al'ar) pre-expansion, as it's quite possible Wrath of the Lich King (or, heck, the 3.0.3 patch) will close this loophole.

(To clarify, as far as I know The Vials of Eternity is the only quest I know in the long list of requirements for the title that exists in both pre- and post-3.0.2 versions, so as long as one obtains and completes the pre-3.0.2 version of Vials the rest apparently can still be done at any time. If this is so, one could theoretically start the entire Black Temple attunement questline from scratch post-3.0.2 and still get the title. I'm glad I don't have to find out firsthand, though!)

Postscript: I am pleased to report that I was able to get the title tonight, so the 3.0.3 patch did not create any new obstacles. I did hear one report from a fellow raid member that the pre-3.0.2 version of The Vials of Eternity might no longer be shareable, but am unsure whether that is something new with 3.0.3 or there was something else going on that we both mised.

Kommentar von selerik

I had neither quest chain completed prior to 3.0.2, however, I had the quest for the Vial from prior to then. I proceeded to complete both quest chains, saving my vial quest for last, and got the title.

Based on what I can tell, until 3.0.3, the old Vial quest was sharable. I believe that was changed, so people wouldn't be able to pass the title awarding quest forward. If someone shared it with you before 3.0.3 came out, you may be able to get the title.

Kommentar von venjur

The only thing I didn't get pre- 3.0 was Kaels vial. (Have Vahsj vial and have completed "Distraction for Akama").
If I sometime in the future, run TK and get his vial (will he still drop his vial?) and turn it in in CoT, will I still get the title?

Kommentar von 200036

I just got the Hand of A'dal title today. I had the vials quest from before patch 3.0.2. I got both vials after 3.0.3. Before patch 3.0.3 I had finished the BT attunement up to but not including The Secret Compromised. So I killed Fathom Lord Karathess after patch 3.0.3.

Kommentar von 40426

The old version of VoE is no longer sharable as is the new version is, so if somebody tries to share with you and you already have it, do not abandon your current one or you will lose the chance of this title.

Kommentar von Sogod

i just got the bt attunment last night just finshed the vials and bt attunment today and i got the titles

Kommentar von Xerxus

Attained the title just 2 minutes ago. I had done the vials in 3.0.2 (with the old quest), and I grabbed the Time-Phased Phylactery about an hour ago.

Looks like they haven't switched A Distraction for Akama for the new one yet.

If you want to get the title, you better hurry. Blizzard won't leave this error for long.

Kommentar von Draenors

If the the idea about two versions of The Vials of Eternity quest - one from before 3.0.2 that rewards the title and one after that doesn't- is true (which it seems to be), then I'm slightly &*!@ed at the developers. There was absolutely nothing about this in the patch notes. It looks like they simply don't want us to know about the new version. But of course, it would be very stupid to think we wouldn't.

I got the quest shared (post-3.0.2) before killing Vashj and Kael. But when I handed in, I didn't got the title. I assume that the person who shared had picked up his (new version) quest after the patch. Luckily, someone else must have shared the old version with me on my 2nd kill of both bosses, so I got the title when I completed the quest (I had already done the other part of the achivement (Akama-quest) before patch. But it apparently hasn't a new version, btw).

Some of the comments on this site says that the devs removed the possibility of sharing the old version in 3.0.3. This would mean that it's impossible to get the title if you didn't get the old version before 3.0.3. I had no idea that they would do this, so I didn't bother asking someone to share the old version to my alt. If it's true that you can't do the achivement after level 71, then it doesn't matter for me anyway (since I won't find a raid of level 70s now), but it may have mattered for other people.

Blizzard, making two versions of the Vial-quest may have been the easiest solution to making sure that people won't get the title after WotLK is out. But please, at least give us some information before doing those things. I'm sure that there are people out there who could and should have received the title then.
Alternatively, I'm sure it must have been possible - with the release of patch 3.0.2 (and the big boss-nerfs) - to simply announce that it would now be impossible to get the title (without a new quest-version, probably).

Kommentar von Essarim

Does anyone know if it is still possible to get the title at 71+ as long as I kept the quest from before the title was removed?

Kommentar von 292729

So, my Rogue ( Veroxis ) Has, and Had the quest preWotLK, I did aquire my Vial from Kael'Thas Pre Wrath of the Lich King Release. Am I still able to get my Title?

Kommentar von 177596

Veroxis I have just handed in my vials of eternity quest after holding the vashj vial from way before attunement nerfs and got the title.

Just some clarity to everyone else.
As long as you didn't disband the quest before the echoes of Doom patch then the title is yours to claim!

Kommentar von 308499

I just picked up Kael's vial and turned in the quest, but did not receive the title or the feat of strength. I had the quest and Vashj's vial pre 3.0, so I'm not sure what I did wrong that everyone else did right.

I do not have the BT attunement chain done, which might be the problem. Is it still able to be picked up and completed?

Kommentar von Bizarre

I just got the achievement and title not five minutes ago at level 80 (1-24-09).

Before 3.0, I had done the BT attunement up to but not including Seek out the Ashtongue (which I still had in my quest log from back then). I also had The Vials of Eternity in my log from before 3.0.

I was away from the game for several weeks when my guild finally killed Vashj and Kael so I missed my shot. Pugged a bunch of people at 80, went and killed them both. Vashj was cake, Kael still takes a good bit of coordination. We wiped several times on him even at 80 with a full raid >.<

Kommentar von FuxieDK

Me and some of my guildies just got "Hand of A'dal" title yesterday (v3.0.8a)..

We all had the quest from way back (pre v2.4) and had only killed Lady Vashj. After killing Kael'thas (which was a piece of cake for a 15man/1tank raid) we got the title from handing in the Q in CoT..

Some guildies hadn't killed Lady Vashj before, but she is still quite a mouthfull, mainly due to the Tainted Cores and fear from Striders.

All in all, Kael'thas can be managed by no more than 10 people, but Vashj still requires somethng close to a full 25man raid, mainly due to the big area everyone is spread over..

Kommentar von 298467

I just got "Hand of A'dal" today, 6th of feb. I had the old version of the quest.

At one time I had both versions and now I've turned in both.

Kommentar von Galkura

Just got mine last night too, had done BT attunement way back, and had Vashj vial, killed Kael, and got it.

So still obtainable if you have old version :)

Kommentar von Gwalchgwyn

I have the vials of eternity quest from pre-3.0.2 but havent started the BT attunement quest at all. If i complete the vials of eternity quest now, and then do the entire BT quest chain now, is the title still attainable?

Please don't give a reply like "I got both mine before the patch and done them all after the patch" etc... like people did on the WoW forums :/ because that is just useless information.

Kommentar von Pytagoras

Hello i did vash&kael thas quest before the patch.
But still need to do bt pre quest.
Can anyone confirm that they got the title. By doing the bt pre quest after patch.

Kommentar von 88673

Confirm, it's still available to get if you have RIGHT quest from Caverns of time to SSC/TK. Obtrained title today, but have kept Right quest since 2.4.3
Blizz replaced quest in CoT in 3.0.2. Old one become unshareable, and new one don't lead to title.

Kommentar von 323860

The title is still possible to get, I got it today. Had pre 3.0.2 Q for vials and completed it today.
The BT part of the achievement I have done way back, think about during 2.4.2. patch, So can't say if you can still get the achievement if you have pre 3.0.2. vials, but after 3.0.2. BT part from questline.

Kommentar von 337726

the title is still here somehow and i got it today so check Pepsifreak ach date on armory

Kommentar von 45315

Did someone know there was a Right Hand of A'dal?

Kommentar von 297487

Title is still obtainable I got mine several minutes ago armory eatmo in gorefiend US

Kommentar von hafplx

Just got it a minute ago. had finished vials of eternity before patches but abandoned and re-accepted Ruse of the Ashtongue before completing it like a couple days ago, so afaik the non vials chain still works fine.

Kommentar von Slanyou

I just Achived this, i had done the vials q pre 3,0,2 and i had done up to "Ruse of the Ashtounge" but i had thrown it out, so i repicked it after reading the above posters, and i did TK and MH, and i got it just a min or two ago, if u have done vials q pre 3,0,2 u can possible still achieve this...

If you dont belive me ; http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Bloodfeather&n=Slanyou, look at the date :) so if u done "Vials of Eternity" and had like "Ruse of the Ashtounge" but threw it out like me, its still possible :)!

Kommentar von 234570

I got the title tonight.
I had the Vial quests before patch 3.0 and had only done the BT attunment chain all they up too SSC and hadn't recieved the quest from the NPC there. If you still have the old quest in your log you will 90% get the title.

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dentarg&n=Cadi

Good Luck

Kommentar von 89649

Alot of people told me that's so Lvl 70. Course I say where's yours then. Hehehe

but ya if you had the quest before the BC nerf It doesn't matter how long you keep it. You are still entitled to the Achievement the moment you complete it.

Kommentar von xstaindx

Got my title today. As stated earilier if you had completed the Vials quests before the patch and now complete the other half (BT side) you can get your title.

Kommentar von 320573

Just got my achievement today (12/7/09)

I am making this post in order to make it clear which are the requirements to grand you the title.\

Requirements: you need to have the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10445 in your quest log. It is the original vials of eternity quest ( quest id 10445.). you should either have picked it up pre patch 3.0.2 or sb could have shared it with you pre patch 3.0.3. It is not shareable anymore so either u have it or not. Check the quest ID through Lightheaded addon.

Thats the only quest you need to have. it is enough to grant you the title as it did in my case. Take a look at my progress and u will see why

A friend of mine shared the quest with me on 1/11/08 at serpentshrine caverns. It was a few days before it became unshareble. I downed vashj the same day and picked up the first vial ( post patch 3.0.2)

Started the BT attunement quest line from scratch with this q http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10568 AFTER wrath of the lich king launch (in december i think) and completed it today. This means that the whole quest line has remained solid. You can still start it now and grab your title.

Finished of kael afterwards, picked up the second vial and returned the vials of eternity quest ( its the first one in the quest log if you have both the new and the old one)

Got my achievement!
So ALL my progress was done post patch 3.0.2 when the quest was changed.

I know i dont deserve the title at all. I just wrought the comment to help anyone else that had questions about it.
edit: edited for spelling mistakes

Kommentar von 219084

Perhaps the longest and coolest quest chain in the game. You also needed to be in a imbah guild atm to get it all done as it required downing some bosses in BT as well.

In my opinion the coolest title in the game. The Amani bear of Titles =)

Madpadde

Kommentar von 435226

Some time before 3.0, I started the chain and still have Ruse of the Ashtongue in my quest log. Unfortunately I never thought to keep The Vials of Eternity in my log.
If I pick it up then continue the chain, can I still get the title?

Kommentar von 430416

I can confirm that the title is still obtainable as of 7-31-09. I had the Vials quest done long before 3.0 hit but had not finished the BT attunement quest line. I was on http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10946 in the quest line when I started this back up. Once I completed http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13429 I was given my title.

Kommentar von suprimex

I have old Vials quest in my log, so question - is it still obtainable after 3.2 ?
is anyone can confirm this?

Kommentar von 315336

Finally earned my title last night (09 Sept 09) http://www.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Sisters+of+Elune&n=Seliine

Kommentar von 323948

From my impression, you can still get this title whether you had the quest like last year or picked it up yesterday..its an achievemnet now that came with wrath content so by the looks of it, do those attunemnts and you'll get your title..

Kommentar von Spazmoose

Going into patch 2.4, I had only obtained one of the Vials of Eternity (Vashj's actually), and I picked up Kael's in 2.4. I can confirm that if you had those completed at least pre-WotLK, and still had the quest in your log, you can still pick up the title as of 3.2.

Here is a link to my profile as proof: Spazmoosifer, Hand of A'dal (10/7/2009)

Kommentar von 466014

I had http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10445 completed but had not done BT attunement. I completed BT attunement, turned in http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10445 and got the title. I most likely could have turned in http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10445 and then done BT attunement with the same results.

Kommentar von 111622

Okay people we get it, I've seen about 15 stories about having the quest in your log. My question is, I'm seeing two quest givers for Vials of Eternity, one from a Blood elf female, and another from a little boy. I want the title, and abandoned it when Wrath came out. Which one do I choose?

Kommentar von AmonAglar

It is working if you have the 2.4 quest shared aswell, you don't need to have picked it yourself.

Kommentar von 440759

I can confirm this.

Quests started and completed before the patch:

Quests started and completed after the patch:

The Secret Compromised up to Ruse of the Ashtongue—first got the quest about a month or so ago (August/September 2009)
Ruse of the Ashtongue up to A Distraction for Akama—did these today (October 2009); a guildie who also had the Ruse quest did not show up on the quest log as being on the same quest as me; I don't know which A Distraction for Akama quest I had, http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10985 or http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13429, but when I turned it in, I got the title and the achievement.

I was not expecting it and had only been trying to do the quest chain to get the handy port to Outland (Blessed Medallion of Karabor). Very surprised. Very pleased.

Kommentar von 233034

So, I'm abit confused here now.. I had The vials of eternity quest in my log before 3.0 hit, and got both vials before wotlk came out and finished the quest, although i had not even started the whole BT attunement chain!

Do i get my title still?

Kommentar von weezel

Just got mine tonight:

A Distraction for Akama completed.
Received 75 Silver.
Received item: .
has earned the achievement !
You have earned the title 'Starcaller, Hand of A'dal'.
: over a year ago....
: lol
: :o
: haha

Quite happy now that i have that title!

edit: clearly the npc has the newer, non-title-rewarding quest as demonstrated here:

Kommentar von supersam448

I only remember seeing this quest in my quest log pre-3.0.2, though sadly I dropped it the night before Wrath came out for I was unaware of what it would be worth at the time. Is the quest ID triggered by the character who has accepted it or is it different if I re-accept it? Please don't be mean in your response, thanks!

Kommentar von 486550

Ok so I had "The Vials of Eternity" pre-patch and didn't complete it until few months ago. After completing the vials quest I only managed to find a group for SSC last week and I got the next quest in there. I did all the chain and yesterday 11/16/2009 I got my achievement and tittle, so yes it's possible!

My friend had the vials quest but he abbandoned it he'll probably gonna try to take it back again and see what happens when he finish "A Distraction for Akama" wich gives you the achievement and tittle when you finish it.

Kommentar von 487663

I got this title today (20/11/2009). This is still available if you have seemingly ANY part of the MH or BT attunement quests left from pre 3.0.

Kommentar von 253396

If you had the pre 3.02 version and abandoned it after 3.02, you cant pick up the original version again. Well....I'm pretty sure anyway, i had it in my log until wrath launched and abandoned it, i tried to pick it up again and it had the 13432 version

Kommentar von Zorrah

I have had this quest on my druid tank for over a year....

I went into LK tanking hard then lost insterest about March..but kept the quest.

I leveled multiple other toons..having fun here and there...but this quest has been in
my druids quest log for well over a year.

I killed Vashj like a year ago..before LK came out...just before. I forgot about this one during LK leveling and such didn't think much about it.

I have always kept the 1/2 (vashj) part in my bank...tonight I ran through TK with a group of 80's...done...quest item was there.

I received the Title and Feat of Strength achievement on 11-25-2009.

If you have the quest in your log...do NOT let it go.

Kommentar von Lokring

Damn seems like you cant get the achivement anymore =(
Did the quest outside BT for a while ago and the vial quest I turned in 3days ago but I still didnt get the achivement

Kommentar von 497250

I just completed my Vial of Eternity Quest (the old version I had in my quest log for over a year along with Vashj's Vial ) since we just went to kill Kael and I've got his Vial.

I already have the medaillon from BT attunement that I did in BC, so that wasn't a problem.

I rushed to The Caverns of Time (fearing it might no longer be possible because of the above post), turned it and I just gained my title!

Armory profile - Achievements Might not be updated yet, but I just got my Hand of A'dal title and achievement as of 12/13/09 :)

Kommentar von Mokoena

Just got my title!

I have quit WoW back in TBC with the Vials of Eternity quest on my BE Priest. Then i've pugged TK and SSC in Wrath and completed quest. Server x-fered and did all the BT attune (A distraction for Akama) chain. And today, 01/21, i've finally became Ligia, Hand of A'dal!

So if you have old vials quest... you can still get it!

Kommentar von Lylsander

Jan 24th Still confirming that title is obtainable.(If you have the quest from back TBC ofc).But i must say be hurry because it is not guaranteed that it will stay this way for long.

Kommentar von Vecmor

February 1st -- Confirmed that the title is still attainable if you have the quest from way back when!

Kommentar von 542254

is this still possible to get if iv still got the trails of the naaru quests in my log?

Kommentar von Pur1ty

Confirmed that getting the title is still doable. Got mine today (19/02/2010).

I had the Vials of Eternity quest back from BC. Never logged in since then with this toon but these WoWHead comments made me feel curious.

I took the quest from Seer Olum in SSC and killed Vashj at the same run. Tempest Keep came next with Al' ar and Kaelthas. After killing Winterchill in MH and giving back the quests in SMV I finally got the title and the feat of strength without any problems.

So happy. <3

Vials of Eternity

Kommentar von Arlor

Confirmed still possible to complete. As of this morning (14 March 2010), I had the old "Vials of Eternity" in my log, with no vials collected, and the old "Ruse of the Ashtongue." I was able to collect both vials, kill Al'ar with the hood, kill Rage, run through the cutscenes, and gain the title.

Kommentar von 301506

i must be very lucky. (i did not have a lvl 70 pre-WotLK) but this guy i grouped with still had the hand of a'dal quest chain so i am able to get it as of now!

Kommentar von 291187

So do you need both the old Vials quest and the old BT attunement quest? Or just the Vials? I have the old Vials quest, but never did the old BT attunement chain, so I'm not sure if I'd get the title or not. As a note, I've already turned the Vials quest in. Thanks.

Kommentar von Eruionmel

Completed Vials before WotLK release, other quests started and completed few weeks ago. The result is World Last Hand of A'dal=)

It won't be world last when I finish it on my shaman. He just needs Fathomlord dead to continue the BT attunement, and he'll have the achievement and title. :)

You never know if something will actually be world last. :P

Edit: On 06/12/10 My shaman:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Exodar&cn=Vanathex

Received Hand of A'dal, as did my friend Lynris, thereby officially eclipsing Valdemare as the World Last, and no doubt to be eclipsed shortly after by someone else. :P

Kommentar von adam612

I wonder if any certain amount of time needs to pass before you get this title. I'm sure I completed the Vials of Eternity questline last year and I just finished Fall of the Betrayer today. No title though. Oh well, guess I'm out of luck.

i'm pwned I still got this quest :)) in my questlog.

Just the same as everything already said but I thought I would just share what I did.

I had server transferred 3 times but not faction. I had the old vial quest that was not shareable, at one point I had both quests in my log. I hadn't started ANY of the Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama chain until this year.

So if you have the vial quest that isn't shareable in your log, keep hope :)

Well what a waste of time.

Had this in my quest log and got nothing but an error message : You are not eligable for this quest.

GM says tough luck. :(

He also said no one can get this now so all the above posts are retrospective error corrections. - who's telling the truth?

Kommentar von shippo1

Well... my girlfriend and I both had the vials quest since BC and had Vashj's in bank. We went to TK on a mount farm run, got Kael's and turned in quest yesterday. We both had done the BT attunement chain up to killing fathomlord in SSC but hadn't killed it. So we made a 5 man group, all of us Kingslayers and killed fathomlord today. We were able to pick up the quest continuation from the caged npc. We killed alar in tk, hit hyjal and killed lich with 4 man grp. Then did the akama escort into BT. And we both got the title today 9/16/2010. So it is still possible if you have held the old vials quest since BC, or completed it during BC. Haha!

Kommentar von Bathrakh

I just got the achievement and title yesterday, or better, today cause it was past midnight. =]
I had the chain since the BC and at 70 I had stopped before killing Al'ar.

as for muckymcfly's message about the error "You are not eligible for this quest.", I got the same thing when I turned in some quest to Xi'ri, but then he had another quest for me, I got it and it worked fine.

I got this title today (September 30, 2010).

I had the vials quest before they changed it but I had not started on the BT attunement quest chain at all and had not collect any vials until a couple weeks ago.

During the BT attunement chain I also got the error message saying "You are not eligible for that quest" when I turned in the "Entry into the Black Temple" but I was able to pick up the next and final part of the chain "Distraction for Akama" by talking to the quest giver afterwards anyway and the fact that it may be a different quest ID than the original did not prevent me from getting the title.

Kommentar von 653916

As of 4.0.1 I believe they finally removed the possibility of getting the title completely. I finally got around to finishing it and had the original BC vial quest but after finishing the distraction part i did not get the title.

Kommentar von xinu

As of October 2010 (after patch 4.0.1) you still can get the title if you got the quests before WOTLK.

Just started to play again with my warrior and to be honest I didn't expect to get the title or the feat of strength. Nevertheless I've asked to my guildies to help me complete the Vials of Eternity quest (only had to kill Kael'thas in TK).

To my surprise, when I handed the quest to Soridormi I got the achievement.

Here's a screenshot of the achievement panel as a proof:

You can still get the title ONLY if you've picked up the Vials quest before the WotLK patch, there are two different quest ID's, pre-wotlk and post-wotlk. The pre-wotlk vials quest ID triggers the title, it doesn't matter when you picked up the BC attunement chain.

As of 10/26/10 my druid on Doomhammer got the title char named Deadsy server last? got mine at 8:24pm est

Kommentar von valakivi

I also made the terrible mistake of dropping the vials quest when lich king was launched.
Just finished this quest and got no title.
/cry

Kommentar von Thunderbro

Still possible to do this achievement even after 4.0.1, you just need to have had the quest chain started and the Vials of Eternity quest picked up pre-WotLK. I just got it on my server, 11/3/2010 11:56 PM or so, Thunderbo-Anub'arak US

Kommentar von 697034

Confirmed yet again (For patch 4.0.1)

Hand of A'dal is still obtainable if you withhold the quests with the correct Quest-ID.

The Vials of Eternity (Quest-ID 10445)
A Distraction for Akama (Quest-ID 10985)

If you suspect that you have the old quests, you can link them in game. If you have the "correct" quests, you will see the line "You are on this quest."

Accordingly, if you have the new quest, you will not see that text for those quests. But you will see it for the new quests (with the new Quest-IDs).

Kommentar von Navoc

Got my achievement yesterday. 11/7/2010

I noticed that I had http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10445 in my quest log for about 3 years now or something close to that.
Had never done any progress on it, so decided to start Black Temple pre-quest 11/6/2010.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10568 -> http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10985 It was bit many quest but really enjoyable since I asked some friends to help me with it.

On the same time we went inside Serpentshrine Caverns to kill Fathom-Lord Karathress we said "Hello" to Lady Vashj to kill her, same goes for Kael'thas in Tempest Keep - the Eye, when we killed Al'ar with the Ashtounge disguise. To gather the 2 vials.

After I recieved Medaillon von Karabor, I went back to Tanaris/Caverns of Time and completed my vial quest and BAM! Achievement popped.
Made me happy but I know back in my head that I shouldn't recieved it because It's 4.0.1 now.

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Genjuros&cn=Sandiago&gn=Horizons

So if you grabbed the quest before 3.0.2, I would recommend that you give it a try.

My girlfriend and I got our titles yesterday. Making us "World Last" (for now) ^_^.

Kyrenna & Ritche

Like most of the posts have said. The main thing is to complete The Vials of Eternity - 10445. Patch 3.0.3 went live on November 4, 2008 which took the original quest out of the game. Chances are if you got started a quest prior to that date you can still aquire the title.

Good luck to you people on the chain.

Had the vials quest pre-WOTLK. I also have to kill Karathress to pickup the continuation of the BT quest line. As everyone has already pointed out, the only relevant quest you need prior to the wotlk patch is the vials one.

Completed 11-18-2010.

Kommentar von OdVoEsRe

In the spirit of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one-upped for "World Last". Had finished Vials of Eternity, but never talked to Seer Olum who spawns after the Karathress encounter in SSC. Obtained the chain from him, and upon completing the quest "A Distraction for Akama" I was rewarded with the Feat and title!

Brasidas US Suramar.

Kommentar von riinuka

I guess I'm next for one-upping?

Totally just earned the title today, even post 4.0.3. Check out Krynnyth of Scilla.

All I had to do was finish out the Vials of Eternity quest (10445) that I still had. I had not even picked up the quest from the NPC after Kara'thress (meaning had not killed Al'ar, Winterchill, etc) - I did all of that this past week.

Finished 'Distraction for Akama" (13429, the new one), and was awarded the title.

Kommentar von 758753

i just got the title today. when it popped up on my screen as an achievement, i had no idea what was going on. turns out that the vials of eternity quest that i had in my log since bc was what did it! (and i thought it was silly that i was keeping such an old quest in my log.)

Kommentar von Diegles

Just confirming that I got the Title as of today. Was a bit scared I would not after all these years..

You just need to have completed the Akama questchain untill you get the Medallion of Karabor, and have the Unsharable quest to get the vials from Kael and Lady Vashj.

Kommentar von BGHunter

I have been completed vial quest long time ago, even don't remember in which patch/expansion version :)
And today with SSC run take http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10944 The Secret Compromised
When land quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10949 Entry into the Black Temple
I receive message "You don't meet the requirements for that quest" and then I think "ffs I have done fail Vial quest" and want just to end the chain. But complete of http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10985 A Distraction for Akama, grant me the title. 07.03.2011

Kommentar von 114764

the only way you can get the title and the achivment after wrath is if you were on the chain before wrath came out its now 4/11/11 and i got the title and the feat of strength cause i started thwe chain before wrath came out just never finished it

Kommentar von vampiric161

Like many of the people above, I handed in my pre-3.0 vials quest the day of or a few after 3.0 but, I never got around to doing the chain that starts in SSC. I had a couple friends come with we and we did the raid content portion of the chain. When I handed in Entry into Black Temple I recieved a "You do not meet the requirements for that quest." error. I assumed that this meant no title for me but I grabbed Distraction for Akama anyway. When I finished it I was granted my title. I was so happy that I could still get it almost 2 and a half years later. Earned my achievement 05/05/11.

See Sanguineous of Bladefist for confirmation.

Kommentar von 243666

Obtained the Feat of Strength and title today (July 14, 2011), so this is still obtainable if you have the original pre-3.0 version of the Vials of Eternity quest.

It only took four years and 15 more levels, but my mage is finally ready to raid the Black Temple!

Kommentar von 696796

Got it today (30.07.2011.)

I have completed the vial quests and stuck 2-3 quests from BT attunement when i stopped playing. Now, years after, i decided to complete it and - here it is :)

Kommentar von brian420

You absolutely can still get this achievement if you have the original quest still in your quest log. On 8/12/2011 at 6:05pm EST, Crystalmagi from Lothar received it.

Kommentar von Damona

Like so many others, I had the Vials quest from way before WOTLK, completed recently and continued the Black Temple attunement quest.

I got the "You do not meet the requirements for that quest." error before accepting Distraction for Akama but on completion, achievement poped and I got my title today, Sunday 21st Aug 2011.

A new world last for now I guess.

Kommentar von 861650

As of today, August 24, 2011 I got the title.

I had the quest chain still in my logs from back at 70, and decided recently to complete it.

Mythlor-Garona if you want to confirm the via armory :p

Kommentar von imaginedashes

I have the stereotypical "I just got this lolol" statement to add, but I do have one extra piece of interesting information.

The character in question had the original vials quest, which I completed (late) right around the time of Cataclysm's release. I then faction changed, and was able to pick up where I left off from Akama in SMV (TK step). I forgot about it for a bit, until recently when I was able to go back and finish up the old raids. I too got that "you do not meet the requirements" error when doing the event in front of BT, but I was summarily rewarded with the feat and title upon turn-in. :)

So, the vials quest is a "one-off" and completion status won't be reset if you swap factions. Might be good news for a few people! :)

Kommentar von wowpallias

I just did this on my hunter half an hour ago. I can confirm that as of patch 4.2.0 all you need is The Vials of Eternity quest chain in your log from BC. I restarted up the Black Temple chain from the quest giver in SSC and did everything up to Entry Into the Black Temple. Then I finished out the Vials quest, turned it in, and then turned in the Entry quest. I got an error with that quest about being ineligible and thought that I had lost the chance on the title. I forgot that completing the next step is the one that gives you the title. I quickly did that and after three years finally have this title on a toon. :)

Kommentar von dreaming37

Still available as of Nov 16, 2011.

Also, I just had the one quest, The Vials of Eternity, before 3.0 hit. I hadn't started any of the Black Temple attunement quests and had to do them all. So, if you've had the quest sitting in your quest log for three years... you can still have the shiny title!

Kommentar von Noctemus

The Burning Crusade achieve quest can be shared? (I guess not, but dont harm to ask)

Kommentar von fendred

Read through all the comments and can't seem to get a definite confirmation on this, so:
a) Is it possible to start this chain fresh at 85 (ie, no prior progress, no old quests, etc) and obtain this title?
b) I used to have the vial of the sands quest in my log at 70, but I never managed to complete it, and abandoned it at some point or other in time. If the answer to a) is no, is there some way I can resume from my old progress and still obtain the title?

Kommentar von 933544

World last Hand of A'dal - received the title a few hours ago on my warlock Lunhillas, US-Ursin. I had the quest from way back in BC (first non-shareable version) and I finished it up this week at last.

Feels pretty awesome.

Kommentar von Deuren

Gamemaster told me Hand von A'dal and Champion der Naaru titles are no longer obtainable even if I have the quest in log for many years (means before 3.0 patch). As I see he wasn't right. Sad, even GM don't give correct information.
Well, still good. Pre-wotlk raiders can get this if they have the original quest and post-tbc players don't deserve it anyways.

Kommentar von 792916

hey guys, i joined 4th of january 2011 and i can still just accept this quest like nothings wrong, is that normal?

Kommentar von Ravoch

Anyone who completed this at any level other than 70, and during the transition patch for Wotlk should get the title "Handed A'dal".
This title is special to those of us who earned it with hard work, and kind of a kick in the teeth to see people bragging about getting it in 2011. I guess you can get it, but you won't know the feeling of what it means to wear that title, maybe that's enough for me. Either way, world last is actually world first that doesn't deserve it.

Kommentar von pellmell

Apart from throwing my name into the hat for "World Last", I noticed something unusual about this feat of strength.

I completed the Die Phiolen der Ewigkeit quest chain first, quite some time ago. Today I completed Ein Artefakt aus der Vergangenheit up through Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama. Strangely enough, I was awarded the feat of strength, Hand von A'dal, prior to actually turning in Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama. Once Maiev Schattensang, the Ashtongue Deathsworn posse, and finally Akama entered the Der Schwarze Tempel, the quest requirements were met and I was awarded the feat of strength without yet turning in the quest. However, I was not awarded the title until I had turned in the completed quest.

I had gotten the title on my warlock pre-3.0, and it survived numerous faction and race changes. For some reason, however, when I did my last change via scroll of resurrection, it wiped the title from the toon, removed the achievement, and gave me the quest The Secret Compromised. I just got around to working back through it, and got the title and achievement again. Weirdest damn thing...

Kommentar von 1031618

Can confirm that the Vials quest (10445) still gives the Title in 5.0.4. Please note that the BT attunement quest is broken at the moment and cannot be finished (can't do the escort, broken in 5.0.4 I think).

Edit: 11.09.12 (dd.mm.yy) would be the date achieved and a friend of mine is waiting the BT attunement fix to grab his tittle in the future.

Kommentar von vargus

I keep reading that you can get this if you still have the original Vials in your log. What if you completed the original Vials but didn't complete the BT attunement and don't still have them in your log. Will having credit for the old Vials and picking up the new BT quests still give it, or are you SOL for finishing the Vials too early?

Does this title extend to your other characterrs once you get it, or is it only available on the character you receive the title?

Kommentar von btskitzo07

Just completed the achievement today!

I did NOT have the original vials quest in my log, as I completed it already back during BC.

I ran this script just to make sure I completed the correct quest back then :

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10445))

^ ^ just copy / paste this into your chat log ^ ^

1 = completed
nil = uncompleted

If it says - "1" you completed the original vials quest, and you can get title
If it says - "nil" you did not compete the original vials quest and cannot get the title
This is the 100% sure way to tell if you can get this title or not.

After this, I went back into SSC, and killed Fathom-Lord Karathress.
Accepted the quest from the NPC that was released from the cage behind him.
Completed the entire quest line, and on the last part where you escort Akama into black temple, the achievement popped.

Kommentar von 640185

I just started playing two old alts again. Neither of them had started the chain in Shadowmoon Valley, but both had the old Vials-quest. On the first alt, I ended up turning in the Vials after completing "A Distraction for Akama", which did not give achievement or title. I tried again on the second alt, doing it in the reversed order and that worked.

If anyone wants to avoid making the same mistake, this is the exact order that worked for me:

I did the first couple of quests in the BT-quest series, leading up to Ruse of the Ashtongue.
I then picked up both Vials and got the Al'ar credit for Ruse of the Ashtongue during the same raid.
I went back to Shadowmoon Valley, handed in the Ruse of the Ashtongue.
I went to CoT, handed in the Vials and then did Winterchill for An Artifact From the Past
Then I went back to Shadowmoon and did all of the remanining quests.

I checked quest-IDs while running this, on both of my characters and it seems like the only difference (that makes or breaks it) is the order you do it in. Might be good to know if you're not fortunate enough to have two chances :)

Kommentar von Draewind

I had the pleasure of alpha and beta testing the BC expansion. Getting the "Hand of A'dal" title was something I am most proud of in my history of WoW. "Hand of A'dal" and revered with the Hydraxian Waterlords back in Vanilla (where you got the rep to get the vials that extinguished the fires in Molten Core that allowed access to the bosses) are two epic accomplishments. Somewhere in the faction changes over the years, the reputation with Hydraxian Waterlords was reset to neutral and the vial went the way of the keys we used to carry. What a shame. Getting this title now, may be nice for some, but they will always know they didn't earn it the way others did.

Kommentar von DesDestro

I suddenly unlocked this title a few hours ago quite randomly after going AFK over black temple. No idea what may have triggered that, as I was not interacting with the world at all...but
here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/OREJSJm.jpg

I left and came back and noticed I got the achievement very soon after turning AFK in game.

I believe I had the vials quest in BC maybe half done. But I had no chance to complete it before it went away. If anyone else has any ideas as to why this might have happened...I would love to hear your speculations. I appreciate the title, but I can't help but be curious.

Kommentar von 580893

As of 5.4 this is still obtainable.

The script someone made to check if you got the right quest is bollocks. It turned out negative for me, but I knew I obtained the quest before 3.0.2.
I proceeded to do the attunement quest and obtained the title when akama went into Black Temple.

Kommentar von 1134069

Well I just got my Hand of A'dal... 10/14/13! I was just doing some old quests and POOF! I got it! And to think I quit doing the quest chain years ago because I thought it was impossible to get the title anymore!

Kommentar von Djongov

Today I was doing the old Black Temple prequest chain and after this quest - This got the Feat of Strength ! Amazing

Kommentar von Kinori

I woulds also like to comment here, for anyone else wondering about it.

I had the original (unsharable) Vials of Eternity quest on one of my old characters. I was a little uneasy, after reading some of the older comments, and seeing that at least one person handed it in in a certain order but didn't obtain it. Anyways~ this is how I ended up getting it tonights:

I completed, but didn't hand in the Vials of Eternity yet.
I then proceeded to start, from the very beginning (Schrifttafeln von Baa'ri), the Akama questline.
Upon getting to the point in the chain where you have to kill Rage Winterchill, I handed in my Vials quest before hopping in to Mount Hyjal.
After that, I kept going through the rest of the questline, up to Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama
While doing A Distraction for Akama, I actually - like someone else commented before, got the achievement and title as they reached Black Temple, and could equip it then and there. But I still went to hand in the quest, just in case.

Kommentar von XhumeBDF

Shame you can faceroll this at level cap if you only have the quest. Not as rare as it used to be.

Edit, downrated. You know it's true don't get butthurt.

Kommentar von Phayze

Still possible to get, as others have said if you have the old vials of eternity quest. I just got mine on December 11th/2013.

If you think you have already completed the old vials quest, you can paste this macro into chat:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10445))

If 1 is output, you have completed the appropriate quest and need to simply complete the BT attunement to get your title.

if nil, you cannot get the title and are out of luck.

I'd recommend if you have the old vials quest, to hand it in prior to escorting Akama to black temple.

Kommentar von Palatrino

I recently discovered I had the The Vials of Eternity quest on my old priest that I started leveling out of boredom. I hadn't logged on to it literally since TBC, due to that I started looking up the possibility of getting the title. After reading all the comments on wowhead and the forums I was skeptic I would be able to get it, but I ended up receiving it today 8th of January 2014, MoP patch 5.4.2.

By this post I hope to get some clarity to those checking out the same thing now in MoP, and this is how I got it.

The most important part is of course the The Vials of Eternity quest which many has stated.
After I had turned in the quest I ran the macro that has been pasted a few times in the comments here to determine if you had the correct version for the title.

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10445))

Where if it returns 1 you should be able to get the title. If it returns nil you will not since it was the new quest.

After this, I hadn't received my title just yet, where other comments hinted I had to do most of the chain for the Black Temple attunement, starting with the quest The Secret Compromised.

I checked my questlog and discovered I was on the second quest in the chain, Ruse of the Ashtongue. Where I discovered I had thrown the cowl away needed to complete the quest. Nervous as a frog passing the highway about abandoning any quests of this matter, I did abandon the quest to get the cowl again and continued on the chain, hoping I'd still get the title.

Once the quest A Distraction for Akama got completed just outside the Black Temple, I received the title I've been eager to get for years, Hand of A'dal.

Screenshot upon getting the title

I hope my journey was helpful to someone out there still trying to get the title,
and a Big thanks to all of the people who've posted comments here!

It's still possible to get even if you don't have the original quests. I had my quest log cleared because I changed servers, but I picked up this chain where I had left it. I got it on january 25, 2014.

I used this command to find out where I was on the chain, since I stopped doing this years ago:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(questid))

Good luck!

Just got this on 2/8/14. I had the vial quest on the character I was raiding with in BC and quit playing right before hyjal/bt released. I never deleted the quest for some reason so when I found out I could still get the title I was quite excited. I got the achievement right as Akama walked into Black Temple. http://i.imgur.com/dla7NDI.jpg

Kommentar von wallix

So you've run the script and you have the original Vials quest completed (See posts below).

I did - but I had a heck of a time trying to figure out what to do next in the BT questline as it had been years. After about 30 mins. of flying around SMV and pouring through posts I finally found an easy way.

- First, get the mod, "Quest Completist" from Curse.
- Then check out this post from Wowhead.

Once your in the game simply open QC and start typing in those quests starting from the very first from the Wowhead post. Eventually you will come across one that doesn't have a green checkmark. For me it was the step in SSC.

Good luck!

Here's a heads up for all the players coming back from TBC times with the new level boost, or for all the people who may still have old, unused characters on servers that have now turned into a ghost town. Despite both these titles having become a feat of strength, and the quests no longer giving them out, you can STILL get them. The important part is that you picked up their respective lines BEFORE the patch that 'removed' them - patch 3.02.

Now, if you do have the correct quests, you will be unable to share them, the share button is greyed out. If you got the quest AFTER patch 3.03, you can share them, and you will NOT get the Hand of A'dal or the Champion of the Naaru titles.

Here's the Hand of A'dal correct quest: The Vials of Eternity - Quest - World of Warcraft
These are the two quests you will need to have done to obtain Champion of the Naaru": Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon - Quest - World of Warcraft and The Cudgel of Kar'desh - Quest - World of Warcraft

Take note of the quest ID's on the wowhead page, certain addons ingame such as lightheaded can check the ID of YOUR current quest, in case the share quest method is unclear to you.

TL'DR: IF you stil have these 3 quests, or completed a part of their questline BEFORE patch 3.02 hit, you can still obtain their respective titles. Old accounts, old characters, and even unlinked accounts you picked up for 20 dollars MIGHT have the correct quests in their questlog.

Don't miss the chance to benefit from this situation, for all we know blizzard might retroactively remove them from our quest logs as they've done with certain GM only quests and such in the past. I got my Hand of A'dal 2 weeks ago, after seeing that my old abandoned rogue still had the correct vials quest in his log from the days where I still wanted to raid Black Temple rather than play arena all week

Enjoy!

EDIT: When going for Hand of A'dal, turn in the vials questline FIRST if at all possible. It is the quest also linked above. You will get your Hand of A'dal title after finishing up Black Temple with Akama, having completed his ashtongue deathsworn part.

Kommentar von Yuyuli

I had the Vial quest still im my log on my very old Character so i did that today with some help, but i only got up until Seher Udalo which is NOT Completed.
I was AFK'ing waiting for a Arcatraz invite in Shadowmoon Valley when i started to hear some weird voices so i flew to Black Temple (rightfully so) apparently someone was doing the Quest (I think this one Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama) and I got the Achievement just by being there so i suppose all you need is the original Vial quest done then it doesn't matter "who" does the Quest that actually triggers the AV, you just need to be there when this Ein Ablenkungsmanöver für Akama is being done. One addition note, the quest was done by one of the Horde while my old Character is Alliance, so it really doesn't matter at all who does it, you just need the original Die Phiolen der Ewigkeit Quest yourself, while the other chain can be completed by anyone and still give you the AV.

Kommentar von kalphbeir

I can confirm that as of 4/21/2014 if you still had the original vials quest you can still get the title as I did.

Kommentar von 1271292

As of 6/24/14, It would appear there is some problem obtaining the achievement. I finished the original VoE quest as well as the entire Black Temple attunement questline and never received the achievement.

This is my conversation with a GM about it.

http://i.imgur.com/kPeg133.jpg

Guess I can't post links. He believes there has been changes with it recently and it now truly is unobtainable. He, also, wasn't sure....

Regardless, I don't have the title but have met all the requirements.

Still had Die Phiolen der Ewigkeit half-complete on my rogue since TBC. Missed our one and only Kael kill after 3 months of wiping back then.

Finally got my revenge on 20/07/14. Grabbed his vial on my way out and finally obtained this achievement and title from Soridormi. Thankfully she was totally cool. After all, 7 years is small change for a Keeper of Time. ;-)

Kommentar von Fdsq

I just got this title today, probably one of the last people ever!
I have around 20+ alts that are lvl 70 and higher, and never bothered to look into their questlog :D I remember having the vials quest on a few characters, but I lost most due to a faction change.

So since today, 21/09/2014 I am finally proud to have this title. People in the guild did react somewhat strange when that achievement popped :D

Kommentar von Missebet

as of October 2, 2014 if you had the original Vials of Eternity quest (#10445) from when it was current content you can still get this title. The guides elsewhere in this post were very helpful for me to finally get it done. TY fellow WH posters

World last? Got it on Jan 6th, 2015!

Confirming what Havitech on the title's page said:

Can confirm that as of Warlords of Draenor patch 6.0.3, this title is still obtainable as long as you meet the following criteria:

You have the pre-WotLK (pre-patch 3.0.2) Vials of Eternity in your quest log or completed. (If you have the quest in your log and it is not sharable, that means it's the old quest, so do not abandon it!)
You've completed the Black Temple attunement quest starting at The Secret Compromised and ending at A Distraction for Akama. It makes absolutely no difference if you started this chain back in TBC or fresh from the very beginning in WoD. I picked up The Secret Compromised from Seer Olum just a few hours before I typed this.

Furthermore, 6.0.2 has made it ridiculously easier to solo old raids. I was able to knock out all of the BT attunement raid bosses very easily with a fire mage wearing fresh level 90 greens and blues.

I did the questline "The Secret Compromised" in TBC, but had the old Vials of Eternity questline. I got carried through SSC/TK on my 75 druid, and was able to get the quest from the Seer in SSC and complete the rest of that quest in 6.0.3 and still got the title.

Confirming what AngryClown on the title's page said as well:

The biggest part to remember if anyone is confused on anything is that it seems the only absolutely required component to have from pre 3.0.2 is Vials of Eternity. I picked up the quest from Seer Olum while I was getting the vial from Lady V. The one thing to remember, you will not get the title until Akama walks into the crack in the wall at the end of A Distraction for Akama. And that glowing Christmas ornament person who gives you the quest takes forever and a bit to even get Akama there in the first place. So don't panic if it looks like nothing happens for a solid few min.

After starting the last quest, Akama took a solid 5 mins to spawn and start running up the BT ramp, but still got it. I got it the moment Akama entered the crack, not when I turned in the final quest.

Kommentar von Thijo

I had the Vial quest completed since a long long time ago. I cofirmed it by running.
/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10445))
Which returned "True" in chat. Meaning that I had completed the old vial quest.

I then messaged two GM's asking if I could still get the title. They told me that I had not even begun the Black Temple attunement quest. They were correct, I had not done that quest. I had to start all the way from the beginning. Re-doing it all. They also confirmed that I had not done any other quests in Shadowmoon Valley.

Well, I ignored what the GM's said and started doing the quests myself on a level 85 rogue. I was not able to solo the later parts of the quest due to very low damage. I had to bring a friend for Al'ar and Winterchill.

Well, with my palms sweaty and my heart beating I finally approached the last part of the quest.

And behold, I got the achivement and I got the title. Date: 2015-02-25. Several long years after doing the first pre-quest!

Hope this helps you all.

Tl;Dr - Have done the old vial quests and you're all good!

Kommentar von Jakk2014

I read most of the posts in here but just checking if anyone else has received this title from the point I'm currently at. Completed 10445 quest but haven't completed 10985. Which is the one you help akama enter bt. I'm trying to find out where I left off because I remember having received that useless trinket and such, but no title so i'm somewhere in between that big quest line with akama.

Kommentar von 1574883

I can confirm that it's still possible to get the title. I completed the whole questline today after discovering that I had the original Vials of Eternity- quest in the log of a lvl 70 toon that I only played for about one month after the release of Burning Crusade.

Kommentar von ady292

I can confirm that you can still get this title as of 6.2.3, as long as you have the old Vials of Eternity quest in your log. I recently found it on one of my TBC alts, completed the quests and was awarded the title - 30th of March, 2016.

Kommentar von 1637710

Achievement is still available if you have the old vial quest (questID 10445) or completed it before patch 3.0.2. I achieved mine yesterday because I completed the old vial quest back in tbc. All i had to do is follow the chain quest that you can pickup by the altar of sha'tar in shadowmoonvalley.

Sidenote: you have to be alive in order to complete the last quest when akama enters the black temple.

Kommentar von xxhxcstompyxx

Just got my title. Found the quest on an old character.

Kommentar von Lynvik

Just got this, Still doable in legion prepatch (if you still have the old quests ofc)

Kommentar von tigerhearted

WARNING!: Using a character boost WIPES YOUR QUEST LOG! I logged into an old toon, discovered I had the original Vials quest still in her log (questid 10445). I used my Legion level 100 character boost on her, and it was GONE. I have a ticket in, cross your fingers for me. Will update once I hear from a GM.

Edit: tdlr: I'm boned, it's gone forever. :(

"I've been taking a look into this for you by looking over the quest in every possible aspect. I'm afraid there is nothing to show us the previously obtained quests, especially if picked up a long time ago.

Our logs last around 2-3 months which means we wouldn't of been able to verify the pickup time of this.
When the boost was applied, it would indeed of meant all quests were wiped but we have no confirmation on what quests were wiped during this process either.

I'm really sorry about this but from a Game Master standpoint - we sadly have no way of verifying this for you :("

Kommentar von Silverado

If you see someone with this title, it means they're most likely the best player you'll come across.

Had to down Kael and Vashj pre-nerfs which are more than equivalent to Mythic raids we have now. BC FTW.

If you see someone with this title and they're bad, they definitely got carried for it.

Hello. Current world-last Hand of A'dal here. I had the pre patch Vials quest in my log since 2009, completed it last week along with the Black Temple attunement(from scratch) questline this week. Got my title.

Definitely still obtainable if you still have the original Vials quest

I can confirm that this title is still obtainable if you have the quests. I just completed them on my old alt lvl 71 (28 jan 2017) and i got the title+Achivement.

Just got this today with an old toon with the quest up.

Obtained the Hand of A'dal title today, 6-Jan-2018, patch 7.2 - the "new world last"?

Checking against the script command provided in this thread:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10445))

I could see that I had completed this one, which seems to be the key quest in the chain.
Turns out that I had previously done up to and including Das gefährdete Geheimnis
I went and picked up the next quest and followed the quest line.
There were no issues with the rest of the quests.
All of them, including "Distraction for Akama" worked fine with none of the glitching/bugging out that has been reported in previous versions.

Kommentar von onionrings

Hi folks 2018 here! and i just wanted to post a follow up to my findings. i was bored one night and i was thinking to myself.. well i think i did the old vials quest on my priest Sisteract-Shattered Hand. (US Realms) and so i logged on her and i ran the script i found here on wowhead in the comment sections for the Vials of Eternity Quest and yes i had it completed. and this week i finished out the raid questline for the black temple attunement and i present you (screenshot pending For Approval.

Kommentar von Danaan

15/12/2019 - Earned the title "Hand of A'dal".

Better late than never :) I just got the title today and am very happy.
Just out of curiosity I checked this page and saw the link to the page with the macro. I saw that I stopped here: Seher Udalo

So I went into Arcatraz and got the quest. By following the chain, after a couple of hours I did the final battle in front of the Black Temple. And it worked!

Kommentar von PrettyRicky

Does anyone know if this still works? I had checked and I completed the orginal (ID 10445) Vials quest wayyy back... I then started the quest chain Tablet's of baa'ri and finished a Distraction for Akama. I was expecting to receive the title upon completion but didnt.... I believe this is due to the fact I /reload console during the escort and everyone had disappeared, including Akama.
I made a ticket and the GM basically told me the quest was intentionally broken by the devs to not give out the achievement anymore (I know) and there was no way I could be helped.
Someone also told me that if someone else completes the quest around me, that I will visually witness Akama entering the temple and get the chieve. (unfortunately noones really doing this long quest chain nowadays).
I'm waiting for a ticket response and I'm going to ask if I can redo a distraction for akama considering mine glitched out and I never got to see how it was played through.

Kommentar von PrettyRicky

Blizzard has updated this chieve/title where it is 100% NO LONGER OBTAINABLE.

**
If you had the original quest, feel this is unfair and cheated out of this title... I suggest you submit a ticket because it isn't right that other people got it up until 2020 with OG quest and suddenly we can't with no for-warning.
**

I had ran multiple scripts making sure the OG Vials quest ID (10445) had been completed on my paladin, and it was. I then proceeded to finish the quest line up past "A Distraction For Akama", upon completion I received my medallion but no title. I then leveled up an alt and started the "Distraction for Akama" again, logged out and and back into my pally again and went through the scenario for a 2nd time, and as Akama walked in I still didn't receive the achievement.
The last comment I found related to this was around the same time as me some random youtube video and someone explained how it didn't work for him either.

I'm open to being educated if anyone has seen success/info on this anytime past May 2020.

Kommentar von Phylacteryhigh

We can only hope that Dragonflight will make it's obtainable again...it's so unfair to people who started playing at BC or even Vanilla to remove the whole possibility to achieve this title. Veterans of this game should be praised, not much still playing this game. But many of us grew up with this game, all i have as a reminder of my BC history are Kampfgeist and a tabard ofc

Kommentar von dusama

Guys please don't be an idiot like me!
I found out that my hunter from TBC still has the quest, I'm so happy and want to finish that quest, but my hunter is still level 35 and I want to faceroll those 2 raids, so I decided to level boost it to 60.

Well as many of you are laughing right now, it's #$%^& stupid, because boosting a character abandon all quests, and now I'll never get this achievement again.

Let it be a warning for everyone when you spend money stupidly to get something you want desperately even if you have the rare chance of having the rare quest in your log.
