A Tribute to Dedicated Insanity

AchievementAchievement
Title: Argent DefenderLegendary0.2% of players

Meet the criteria for A Tribute to Insanity without any raid member having used an item only obtainable from 25-player Coliseum, or any more powerful item.

A Tribute to Dedicated Insanity requires completing A Tribute to Insanity in 10-player Trial of the Grand Crusader without any raid member equipping an item obtainable only from 25-player Coliseum content or any item more powerful than what is permitted, rewarding the Argent Defender title.

1

Audit Every Raid Member's Gear

Every player in your group must remove any item level 245 Bind on Pickup drops from 25-player Trial of the Crusader, Val'anyr, any item over item level 245 except the 10-player Tribute Chest cloak (item level 258), and Relentless PvP gear before entering the instance — a resto druid wearing a few pieces of Relentless PvP gear caused one group to fail the achievement entirely.

2

Equip Permitted Gear Sources

Allowed items include anything below item level 245, item level 245 set pieces that also appear in the 10-player Tribute Chest, any gear dropping in 10-player Trial of the Crusader or Trial of the Grand Crusader, item level 245 items purchased with Badges of Triumph, and item level 245 Bind on Equip or crafted pieces.

Source Replacement Gear by Slot

For tanking, the neck drops from Lord Jaraxxus, the shield and one weapon option drop from Anub'arak, and rings drop from the Val'kyr in 10-player Trial of the Grand Crusader. For healing, the neck drops from Lord Jaraxxus, a dagger drops from Faction Champions, and a mace and staff are available from Anub'arak, the Tribute Chest, and Val'kyr. For casters, the neck drops from Val'kyr, rings from Lord Jaraxxus, an off-hand from Val'kyr, and weapons from Faction Champions, the Tribute Chest, and Val'kyr. The item level 258 cloak is available from the 10-player Tribute Chest for all roles and is permitted.

4

Switch Players Mid-Run Freely

Any new character can be invited to the raid mid-run without disqualifying the achievement — one group had a druid heal bosses 1 through 4 and then swapped to a mage for the remainder, and all ten players received the achievement.

5

Note Achievement Availability

As of patch 4.0.3a, A Tribute to Dedicated Insanity became a Feat of Strength and is no longer obtainable because the Tribute system was removed from the game.

Tips

  • Give your group a full week of notice before attempting so each member has time to identify and replace disqualifying gear — on average, groups found 2 to 4 pieces per player that needed replacing.

  • Badge of Triumph gear is one of the fastest ways to replace disqualifying slots, as item level 245 Badge purchases are fully permitted.
