They are a reward from several daily quests: Bannt mehr Dämonen, Und wieder ein Bombenangriff!, Die Strahlung des Relikts, Bändigt noch mehr Ätherrochen!

Die Strahlung des Relikts is a tricky daily quest, as it requires you to memorize patterns of flashing orbs and correctly click different sequences repeatedly.

Also in this area, Bauplan: Feldreparaturbot 110G drops from Analysator der Gan'arg.

Use 35 Apexissplitter to summon an elite demon from Apexismonument or Teufelskristallprisma. Required a group.

More costly—Use 35 Apexissplitter at each of the four Dragon Eggs to summon and defeat. Each Dragon drops a scale, which put together creates Umhang der Todesschwingenbrut. This can be equipped, or turned in to Himmelskommandant Keller for one Crystal.

Defeat Der große Sammler, the final elite in the Bash’ir Landing Event, for one Crystal.

Complete the Bash’ir Landing Event and purchase Beschleunigermodul for 35 Apexissplitter. This summons Herold von Bash'ir or Bash'ir who drops one Crystal.

Geodes for each armor type which contain an ilvl 115 helm or gloves.

In recent years, some of this gear is popular for transmog due to its unique blue recolor: , ,

Bash'ir Landing Event

Defeating Phase 1 unlocks Äthertechnikerassistent who sells flasks that work in Blade’s Edge and Gruul’s Lair.

Defeating Phase 2 unlocks Äthertechnikeradept who sells gems.

Finishing the event and killing Der große Sammler unlocks Meisteräthertechniker who sells meta gems with 5% stun resistance, caches that contain gear, and an item to summon an elite.

Angriff auf den Landeplatz von Bash'ir!Phase II begins with many (20ish) Bash'ir Subprimal (elite)(12k hp) which spawn nearby. Things become somewhat hectic at this point. It did not appear that they all attack at once, but are either pulled or proximity aggroed.

After a short time, non-elite Disruptor Towers (70)(28k hp) surrounded by Bash'ir Controller (elite)(16k hp) spawn at a raged distance. The towers will fire AOE bombs on the NPC. Using ranged DPS on the towers will minimize the number of Bash'ir Controllers aggroed during this stage. As each tower is destroyed, the four Elites arround it will aggro on the NPC. Destroy the towers one at a time and be prepared for each group of Elites. Destruction of the Disruptor Towers will cause the Aether-Tech Adept Gem Vendor to be summoned and begins Phase III.ShartuulShartuulShartuulGroßer PrismasplitterRune der DunkelheitKristallgeschmiedete Rune der DunkelheitZerrütter der TeufelwacheVerdammniswachenbestraferAssassine der ShivarraShartuulShivan Assassin forms used: All 3 forms are used here. Fire Form for primary dps and cleansing Immolate and Shadow Vulnerability debuffs. Shadow Forms for Shadow Nova AoE killing all the Eye Stalks summoned, and keeping hp up. Ice Form only to Ice Block back Incinerate (Shartuul yell's "Prepare to be Incinerated!" and is a 10sec cast, long enough to pop Ice Form, and Ice Block, then switch back to Fire/Shadow forms)

Start this phase off in Shadow Form. Shartuul will periodically throw a large ball of energy to the top of the Transporter in the center, which breaks apart and lands to make a ton of Fel Eye Stalks spawn all over the arena. They do not move, but have a long range mind flay attack. This Mind Flay is shadow damage, and if you have the Shadow Vulnerability debuff on you prepare to get owned. All Fel Eye Stalks have low enough hp to die to 1 Shadow Nova, so if you stand in the center of a small grouping of Fel Eye Stalks in the South West corner of the arena, you can wipe them all with 1 Shadow Nova and keep yourself a safe place to stand/cast. Fel Eye Stalks also cannot be targeted for a second or two when summoned, so wait until they start actually Mind Flaying you to pop Shadow Nova. If Fel Eye Stalks are cleared out of the corner, you can now switch to Fire Form for primary DpS.

Shartuul's primary attack on you is a Shadow Volley that periodically causes you to get the Shadow Vulnerability debuff (much like a Warlock's Shadow Bolt crit). Also casts Immolate, and rarely casts Incinerate (VERY high damage, needs to be Ice Blocked back). Spam Flame Buffet and PyroBlast for your standard DpS, and watch your pet icon under your party screen for any debuff's. Immolate and Shadow Vulnerability are the 2 you're looking for, Flame Cleanse off immediately. Periodically Shartuul will pull you to him, then teleport somewhere else. Just run back to your safe corner and wait for him to walk back into range. There are 2 things that will make you leave Fire Form. First is Incinerate. If you see him yell "Prepare to be Incinerated!" switch to Ice Form at once, and Ice Block at the last second to bounce it back. If you don't, you'll take about 30% damage which is WAY too much to take from a single attack. Then switch back to Fire/Shadow. The Second thing is when he re-summons all the Fel Eye Stalks. Use that time to switch back to Shadow, Shadow Nova down Fel Eye Stalks, and consume any old Siphon Life's with Shadow Bolt, then re-apply new Siphon Life/Shadow Nova DoT's to Shartuul and switch out of Shadow Form. 90% of the fight will be spent in Fire Form spamming PyroBlast/Flame Buffet and Flame Cleanse to keep all debuff's off you. This is a LONG fight, sometimes more than 10-15min, so keep your rotation going. If you start to fall behind on HP (Or you just want to speed up the fight) Use the Chaos Strike(Special Attack) to get back into the game. Again, only cast Chaos Strike when you have 10 Flame Buffets, and an old Siphon Life on the target with your Siphon Life Cooldown up and ready. You can try to also work in Freezing your target with Frost Nova, but that's an extra step that while handy, and it does do alot of extra damage, isn't always needed. Sometimes you just need to get your life back quick. Chaos Strike for bonus damage from 10 Flame Buffets, then Shadow Bolt to consume the old Siphon Life, and re-apply a new Siphon Life and Shadow Nova to regen 220K hp every tick (like 10% of your life per tick). No matter how much you mess up, this trick will get you back to 100% HP, which should be enough to get you back in control of the fight.

Kommentar von SouwxIt's a comfort to know that Apexis Crystals have always been a thorn in the backside for people farming them!Kommentar von lankybritNow we can really tell there's a content lull, when wowhead have time to work on stuff like this :)

Really nice throwback article. Perfect for a Thursday.Kommentar von NexsaDraenor is the original area for them, since it's the past and Outland is the future/Present. :pKommentar von ZuhaltersI never finished the Ogri'la rep. Die Strahlung des Relikts sucked. http://www.wowhead.com/user=lankybrit Have to agree good TBT piece.Kommentar von PumpkinFeastWowhead "News".
Whole post is about 8 year old content and even some removed content.

Could we agree perculia, that you'd slap the previously used "Spotlight" word, or the more fitting "Old Content comparison" on these kinds of posts, so people won't even bother to search for news, where there are none?

I do understand, some site visitors enjoy these kinds of posts too, but it only reminds me of how much more content we had in previous expansions compared to the disappointing emptiness of WoD. (Although, I wouldn't label BC apexis as quality content either.)
The majority of the playerbase is already tired of WoD, even Blizzard abandoned it, so there's no need for additional reminders.

Kommentar von JasperKazaiI still have two stacks of Apexissplitter in my bank since I never finished the Ogri'la rep. When I found out that Apexis was going to be a currency in WoD, I was kind of hoping there'd be some kind of easter egg hidden NPC where you could turn in the old shards for the new currency. In retrospect, though, that'd be a horrible trade because of how easy it is to get the currency now.Kommentar von perculiaUpdated the name.

I personally have a lot of fun writing these, if you're a newer player and didn't get the nostalgia tributes in Draenor before, these articles can give more context. Plus it's just something different to read and maybe you'll discover something new to do in game outside of Draenor.Kommentar von CptnRadicalAw, I never knew they removed Shartuul! I always meant to do that.Kommentar von koujimorenoIn this content lull, now would be a good time to go back in rep grind some of those old expansion factions, so in that light, this article is useful.

Also, apexis crystals weren't as hated back then as they are now.Kommentar von MissVernWowhead "News".

Kommentar von FarelfThank you for the refresher on these..... I'm remembering the hours spent getting the repKommentar von PumpkinFeast
In this day and age no one wants surprises anymore; everything is all "I want the new content and all the information now now NOW!" Just cool your panties; it'll come. Maybe go play some League if you wanna get really butthurt about something.
Kommentar von pericaFor a hamster that i am in terms of wow i still have some in my bank even the blue ones.
Nice article.Kommentar von GrabovskyOh man, totally forgot about Shartuul event, was one of the best things in wow now that i remember it. Didnt even know they got rid of him in Cataclysm.Kommentar von SandwalkerI seem to recall reading that the event was always somewhat buggy, and Cataclysm rendered the transporter event completely unable to be completed due to bugs that couldn't be ironed out, so the event was removed in Patch 4.1.Kommentar von RaynreAnyone else have their weekly quest reset overnight? Was at 4/5 apexis events completed, now sitting back at 0/5...Kommentar von 2nihonI found this area very, VERY annoying when I was going for Loremaster. If I want to play Simon, I'll buy the darn thing. I should have checked beforehand; it may be that none of them counted towards Loremaster and I could have saved myself some time...Kommentar von eKathyGood old times :pKommentar von AlfaI wonder what holiday will replace this once Burning Legion comes outKommentar von CalysiaI enjoyed it and I'm sure those people newer to the game did. With the fast pace of leveling these days it's very easy to totally miss stuff like this.
