On the CSS tab, right-click on #header, select “New Property”, type “display: none”. Voila, header gone on that page until you go to another page, where you could do the same thing again.

If I were a better WordPress coder, I’d suggest two versions of the header: the full one (default), and a small (~25px tall) branding header with the links at the bottom plus a homepage link, with a collapse/expand button to switch between the two. For extra niceness, the collapse/expand button could be state-saved in a cookie.

ETA: I personally don’t find it that annoying, or only did the first time or two I came here… I just work as domains/hosting tech support professionally.

It’s a great feeling to see the reaction some people have to seeing the Lyceum or the Emperor for the first time.

A lot has changed since then, but think of this grand abode as a place formerly zergable with up to 39 of your comrads… and a place which was expected to have a 7-day lockout (meaning you had up to 7 days to revisit the same area and slowly clear parts of it over the days).

Blackrock Mountains as a whole was the pinnacle of 1 to 60 experience. Might not seem like it, but there are several entire -areas- directly leading up to Blackrock Mountains as a whole. If you do the quests alliance side, Redridge Mountains, Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge all lead up to here. The Gnomeregan instance also ties in. For the Horde, there are tie-ins to this entire area/instance starting from the Barrens and include the Badlands and Desolace.

But enough psycho-babbling from me.

A good tank can pick-up the healer and bash/hammer/shield-bash anyways. It’s not too much effort to lockdown the one healer and kill the 5 mobs though.

You actually don’t require a key to get to the Dark Iron highway either. A rogue helps, of course, but there are two ways to get there without the key.

The “long way” which is to double-up through the arena spectators and clear out the 5+ bosses (the two former rare spawns are 100% now, but there are also 1-2 “event”/”quest” bosses available) leading up to the Fire Elemental (Incendius). From there you can back-track down the Dark Iron Highway effectively leaving Bael’garr as the final boss.

The “short way” is to go up from the arena, but don’t take the path through the spectators, take the path as if you were heading towards the Grim Guzzler, of course your path will be blocked, you can jump out on to the window. There is a ledge (perfectly safe, just there are no walls/barriers, so don’t run off). From the ledge, jump down to the bridge. This will be the door, allowing you to go towards either Incendius or Bael’Garr.

Of course, I am sure you already knew this.

(Also, seriously, 1+19 bosses? And you can’t get to the end without a key? Who thinks of this stuff?)

[Still eternally grateful for the guides and I hope you do one for the Spire too. I've got a few other alts in the making...]
