Finally defeated here, in Moonglade, Omen now sleeps among the silt of Lake Elune'ara. But each new year, during the festival, he stirs...

Here's how you summon him.

1) Go to Moonglade (by using lunar festival invitation).

2) Bought 20 Green rocket cluster.

3) Go to ""stormrage barrow dens"" in Moonglade (about 65, 65).

4) Fired 5 Green rocket cluster in the two launchers.
(then I summoned Omen Minions, and killed about 10 of them)

5) I now fired the last 15 rockets and used my gun ""Elune's candle"" on a minion and there he was.
(you get the candle if you deliver 5 Coins of ancestry).

Just downed him with a 9 player pug, mostly level 67+. He has an AOE called Starfall (arcane damage) which you just need to avoid periodically. Tanked him near the summon spot (you can rez at the graveyard next to it). Took about 15 minutes to get him down, good to have a holy priest / resto druid. Omen's health doesn't reset if you have to start again, which is nice. You can also kite him into town and have the guards get him, but he can get bugged on the environment. Not a hard fight if you have the heals and DPS.

Did this with my guild. We had some level 70:s and the lowest one was me (level 63). We were 8 people and got him down after 15 to 20 minutes of battle. We only had one healer (level 68 priest) but we managed anyways. We died a lot but the graveyard is right next to the place so that was no problem. The rewards aren't that ber but that lantern is pretty cool. Kill this guy if you can because having a raid with your guild is fun.

You don't have to participate in the raid that kills Omen in order to receive Elune's Blessing; all you have to do is stand on his corpse once he is dead, and you will receive the blessing. This works even if you are the opposite faction of the people who killed him.

It should be noted as of this post the elite guards around the festival grounds in Moonglade will NOT aid in killing Omen. He will also reset back to the Burrow area if he loses aggro on any player.

He basically hits like a heroic boss, so he isn't very hard to tank. Unless you want to be sitting there for 20 minutes though, bring 8 or 9 dps with you. Also two healers might be good because starfall can be unpleasant.

https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21713 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21713 - Hits him for about 900-1.4k. If you're a low level and can't do much DPS to him, just run around spamming this at him.
Also on a side note, you don't even have to be ALIVE to recieve this blessing. I just ran into his body as a ghost and got the Elune's Blessing buff. - Doesn't count towards the quest complete though. Have to remove and stand in his body again to get quest complete.

To complete this quest, you must defeat https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15467 Omen, a ? raid boss in southeastern Moonglade (at Stormrage Barrow Dens). In patch 3.0.8 he got a massive buff, from being able to be 3 manned at 70 with ease to taking ~10 ish 80s. While I am sure it can easily be done with less than that, it would take quite some time to burn through his 5.5 Million health.

He does not reset his health when he leaves combat (neither by evade nor if you wipe), and to get credit for the quest you don't have to have him ""tagged"". When he dies, a light will appear and you simply run through it to get the blessing.

Factions, groups, raids, -none- of it matters. You don't even have to be logged into the game when Omen dies, so long as the light hasn't disappeared by the time you get there. Simply run through the light and the quest is complete.

If you are not able to do much for the group to bring him down, run back to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15864 Valadar Starsong and get https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21713 Elune's Candle. This will hit him for about 1k with a small global cooldown. It (to the best of my knowledge) always hits Omen.

Now if you are thoroughly in need of this quest, you can solo him as (at least) a druid. Pop into travel form and just use the Elune's Candle as you kite him. He will eventually evade bug back to his spawn location. With him having 5.5 million health, you will need to do this 5,500 times to kill him. But it CAN be done. :)

Soloable for level 80 aff/demo warlock with a whole lot of spare time. Just kite him around the den. Keep up fel armor on yourself and syphon life, coa, and corruption on him. If you keep close to the den he can't catch you, but as an escape put your teleport in the middle of the structure. If he gets too close than teleport to it and bandage for a sec. Not a whole lot to it but it's a very very very long fight alone. He'll probably evade every few times around which gives you a chance to eat. He doesn't regen health when disengaged so just pick the fight back up whenever your ready again.
I wouldn't suggest it unless you can't find anyone to help or you enjoy a kiting challenge.

Can be done with 1 tank &amp; 1 healer heroic geared at lvl 80, but takes a hell of a long time with his 5.2M Health pool. But we got bored halfway through and grabbed a load of dps.

I just kited him back and forth between the second bridge and his spawn point over and over to keep out of the starfall which worked rather well. Just don't go past the second bridge or he'll reset. Or if your healer needs a mana break go past the second bridge and he'll reset but won't regain his health and you can just pick him up again.

Side Note: When buying the clusters to summon him, buy red one's and you can get the ""launch 10 red clusters in 25 seconds or less"" achievement.

Took my group a half hour to complete this, but we didn't wipe once. Four 80s, two 77s, one 72 and one 58. I used innervate about 5 times, but it was great. Just have to have a good main healer and a good main tank, and you're golden.

Alright, so this is how I got him. First, my group of 7 set up our four tanks in a square. All the tanks were roughly around 7-10 yards away from each other. Now when we summoned Omen, he was in the middle of our tank square. Each tank would taunt Omen and then when he got close enough to attack another tank would taunt him. The whole time our DPS players were slamming Omen with damage. He never got close enough to attack anyone because of our taunting tank square. Real good plan. Try it out. There is no need for a healer. Just make sure you kill him fast because eventually you might make a mistake and lose a tank. GL!

An interesting thing to note...

I already did the quest and received my lantern. Then I applied for a faction change and they gave me the quest again. While I was quite happy to be able to own two lanterns (double the Elune Stones), I was a little sad to find out it was unique.

I deleted my one and turned it in the second time to ""replace"" my lantern. =)
Good times!

It's worth noting that you automatically get the Elune's Blessing buff by simply going near Omen's corpse after he's already been defeated. You don't even need to be a member of the group that defeated him.

That made completion of this quest very easy since I flew in after he had just been downed.

Tried this solo just now on my 85 DK, and shortly after I began I had an 85 warrior and 82 shaman jump in. I was in my tank gear and blood presence, and I could have done it alone quite easily. The shaman was alliance, and with me being horde I of course didn't receive any healing other than my own. My avg itemlevel in tank spec as of this writing - 1/24/2011 - is 359.

Omen doesn't hit hard, but he's got almost 5,000,000 hp, so while it's certainly possible for decently geared folks to solo him, it'll go much faster if you bring a friend or two.

Cheers

You can get the blessing even as a ghost.

I saw a group of horde summon him and decided rather than fly around and wait for them to down him I'd lend some DPS.

Guess they didn't like that so after they killed me I thought I would rez in the light after they were done. So as a ghost I just sat in the corpse and before I rez'd I got the quest complete message.

Nice to know.

I'm not sure if this holds true for everyone, but just teamed up with a shaman, we two-manned Omen and he did not regenerate health, even after one (or both) of us died. He has over 5 million health, so it took us a while, but we did it. And don't forget to step into the light to get the blessing.

By AnnatarLG on 01/30/2011 (Patch 3.1.3)
Soloed him at 85 on my Prot Pally. No problem staying alive...just took 30 minutes. (Find a friend).

Also, I can confirm his body does stay up for FIVE MINUTES. I relogged 5 toons to get the blessing.

Edit:
My note about summoning. I read pretty much every comment and they all were either ambiguous or misleading. I bought 30 clusters, fired 10 and his wolves showed up. I killed a few around that immediate area and nothing happened, so I just spammed the other 20 and he eventually came. Not sure if any of that is related, or you just pound out 15-20 clusters and he shows up.

Edit as of MOP, obviously his HP and damage has been upgraded. You cannot solo him at 85. I do not think you can at 90 either.

If you can pump out the damage before your main items break you can kill him just by running back asap. He takes a while to despawn if you die.

WHAT TO BRING..., What to do :)

Easy to solo with a Pally, Hunter, and DK. (thats all the toons I have done this on)

FIREWORKS:
I looked around in Moonglade and sadly... cant buy any fireworks. You can buy for 5 coins the ""package of fireworks"" (from the guy who gives you the quest) but NONE of them in that package work in the cluster launcher to summon Omen. I flew to Darnasses (if you have epic flying you can make it across without fatiguing completely out but just by a hair - I was scared I'd have to take rez sickness it was pretty close) lol.

So, make sure you bring some before you use your 10 min summon invitaton...

I bought about 80 cluster rockets. 1 silver each I think it is. You will prob be able to do with 40 or less since I still have 2 stacks but for the hastle of going elsewhere to buy them - i brought 80 :). Launch them until you see wolves running around the outskirts. Attack them with elunes candle (88 charges). I killed a couple with elunes candle. BTW - it stuns them. I put my pet on passive and only killed them with the candle - (if it matters, i dont know). Repeated launching them. Killed 2 more. Launched some more. Omen appeared.

HUNTERS:
If you plan on soloing this boss bring some bandages/potions. When he starfalls the bear tanking pet, use your bandages. The AOE doesnt do much but it slowly wears you down. I finished the fight with full health and my tanking bear full also. Lvl 85 gear 333 approx.

To the uneducated hunters - there are 3 classes of pets from what I remember. Get a tanking pet like the bear. Wolves are nice for dps but are in a different class. Saves time in healing (tanking pets) so you can dps the daylights out of the boss.

PALLY:
Easy. Just use your Holy Word every 3 attacks. Cant touch ya! Takes a while but...

DK:
Easy. Faster than my Pally. I used tank spec for the extra healing.

Dont forget to run through the light that appears over Omen when killed! Quest Completed will appear!

Hope this helps someone!
