Lord Ahune Phat Lewt!
Posted on June 26th, 2008 by Gavin under General Tips, Instances, World of Warcraft
The Midsummer Fire festival won’t last forever! You only have until July 4th to take advantage of all the buffs, gold making opportunities and last (but certainly not least) some really killer loot from Frost Lord Ahune.
Ahune <The Frost Lord> is a new boss which can be summoned inside Slave Pens, in Zangamarsh. Ahune can be completed on both normal and heroic modes, both with differing difficulty and different items dropped after defeating him.
Ahune is a frost lord in Neptulon’s service. The Twilight’s Hammer plan to have him battle Ragnaros to start an elemental war on Azeroth. Players summon Ahune in the second room of the Slave Pens, at the Ice Stone to the left. He is only available during the Midsummer Fire Festival.
If this is your first time killing Ahune, he will drop an item called Shards of Ahune which starts the quest Shards of Ahune. Accept the quest and bring the shard to Luma Skymother, and she will reward you with Burning Blossom x20 and your choice of a unique tabard: the Tabard of Summer Skies or the Tabard of Summer Flame. You can only complete this quest once, so you will not be able to receive both tabards on the same character (well, not until next year at least)!
The quest to summon Ahune can only be completed once per day, per person. Which means that if you have a five person party, each person can complete the quest to summon him one time (provided you didn’t actually save yourself to the Heroic) and you could potentially do five runs, one after another. Even if you have killed the boss, as long as at least one person in your party is able to take the quest and summon him you’ll have yet another chance at some of the phat loot he drops!
In Normal Mode Ahune Can Drop:
Shared Loot for both Normal and Heroic Mode:
On Heroic Mode Only Ahune Can Drop:
Don’t dawdle any longer! If you have a level 65 or above find you a group and start whacking at this big icicle until you get you some of this stuff. Special event bosses have great gear and Ahune is certainly no exception. You’ve only got a few more days – go dominate that dude!

OMG Minus points for using the phrase “Phat Lewt”… Just kidding. I love the new website look. It seems…. more sophisticated somehow.
Event bosses like Ahune are indeed sources for valuable items. For the Halloween event, you can still see people wearing the headless horseman drops. I think Blizzard is revamping a lot of their events so they are not just interesting but profitable. They added a money reward to Childrens week, exp and gold making opportunities for the Fire Festival and epic bosses (with epic loot) for Halloween and the Fire festival. If a player says anual events are pointless, they dont know how to play the game to its fullest.
I just wanted to know, isn’t pvp gear better?
wowee! :O i want that scythe! sounds hawt.
@Josh
mate, pvp gear is a completly different gear set you must understand.
there are stats on pvp gear which arnt found on pve gear resil, higher stam values, differnt sockets and bonuses on pvp gear, higher hit values large amoutns of mp5, lower stats but higher dmg/crit ap, more haste, etc.
a full season 3 player can easily win a 1v1 vs most people, but would do terribly in a raid becasue bosses are always set to 3 levels above your own for when it comes to dmg and hit calculations.
and i know that this, if its read more, will get some posts about what ive said, simply remeber that pvp and pve are 2 different aspects of the game.
Well it also depends on the class too. Some classes do well in instances with pvp gear such as warlocks and mages.
i’ve seen the scythe drop, it was beautiful, but not really my kind of weapon, so never rolled. i did notice the cloaks have a more frequent drop rate, and none of the enchanters i downed him with were able to disenchant the cloaks. dunno if this is a glitch or intended, but there you have it.
