As of latest patch, all arcane protectors now see through stealth. This was done in order to make it so the chest wont get ninjad. The only way to do this now is if the shade is killed and then you finish for the night, which would be pointless since it's only a few clears to this free loot.

If you are a mage or warlock don't even bother looking in the chest, there is nothing in there for you.

Not one post here actually explains the encounter...

Commento di 28119

Each person in the raid party is able to take control of one unit on the chessboard. Once the event is started, you control the chess piece as a "pet." (i.e. through a pet bar) Use each piece's special abilities to kill the opposing King. Just as in real chess, each piece has powers and limitations. After the opposing King is defeated, the Dust Covered Chest will spawn (ala Domo in MC).

This shows a exploit to gain access to only the Chess event. Any class can do this with some pots but it's easier for rogues and druids.

I do not recommend doing this.
Do it at your own risk

I did the chess event solo like Mordenthal post said, you gotta watch out and becareful cuz there is a pat that will kill you, it was not shown in the movie but becareful. It's very easy to get to using this. It will most likly get fixed in 2.1.0

Commento di uphir

just confirming- people who were not present for the clearing of the chess event can loot the chest?

Commento di 34156

It's like the Domo chest you are able to do it.

Commento di 46185

I have done this solo several times. I am a hunter too and it is very easy once you have the strategy down. its a bit different for every class. But i can get to teh event itself in under 10 minutes.

Commento di 34725

how long does it take for the chest to despawn?

Commento di 40119

So if u soloed the event u would pick one piece move it then dispel buff pick another one move ect. till you win?

Commento di 44033

Mordenthal style just did this last night as mage. invisible helps a lot and just takes practice and i used no pots

How I solod the event was to take control of the king, Release him, Take control of the conjurer, Move him in range of the enemies king, Use Rain of Fire, Wait 5 sec, Use the Ice bolt, Wait 5 sec, Use the Ice Bolt, Use Rain of Fire, and If anything attacked the conjurer I moved him out of their reach, Untill their king was dead.
This may not work for you, But it did for me.
Got Legplates of the Innocent and Bladed Shoulders of the Merciless.
Good luck if you want to solo this event, Takes a while.

This was done on patch 2.0.12.

I've stealthed my way to chess event 3 times now and won the game 3 times. Each time was during a new week after our guild cleared at least Opera event. We have never cleared curator yet though.

Each time I won the loot was always the same thing. Ring of Recurrance and Battlescar boots. I think the game is playing a joke on me.

Commento di carsten139

medivh cheats ! THATS UNFAIR !

Commento di carsten139

i tried it 3 times (as horde) before i completed it, alone. i started releasing warchief, and then i started controlling warlock, and used poison cloud (at least it was definately not bugged, so they must have fixed it). first i killed the conjurer, when he got in range. i changed for acolytes once in a while to heal the other "bricks" and then back to warlock. when conjurer was dead, , i started killing their footmen. then my warlock was on ~20% hp. and i started shooting at alliance king "brick" then medivh started cheating, and lock died. then i used warchief to finish off their king, and moved him around, while some of the other alliance bricks where closing in.

i suppose, that u can "cage" your warchief, so he and alliance king is fighting 1on1, but u can still use the bricks, thats "caging" warchief....its really simple when u have tried it a couple of times :)

Commento di Ambrose

You should be able to get yourself soulstoned, evasion+sprint past the beast and die at the bottom of the stairs, then res when it's clear. Will try this asap but cannot confirm it yet.

These objects come from the chest which appears after completing the Chess Event in Karazhan.

This event is really not difficult, just focus on killing the other team's king.

Make sure you move a couple soldiers out of the way to let your stronger pieces walk freely.
Get your king and a dog/demon on their kinig and keep your necro/healers on your king.

We did this twice now, and both times most of the raid didnt have a clue of what was happening.
Our king usually still has about 60-80% when the enemy one dies.

Don't be afraid of this event, just go in and whack the enemy king :-) Free loot.

Commento di theuberone

is it possible to get 2 of the same item in the chest?

Commento di 47926

Don't forget that if you do loot something from the chest, that character will get saved to that raid-ID, so don't just hand-out the gear willy-nilly.

Commento di Kathucka

The secret to beating this encounter is to use the pet hotkeys. Trite, but true.

Someone in your raid must talk to the king to take control of it and start the event. After that, you can talk to the other pieces.

The first two pet abilities are Move and Turn. These abilities are activated by the CTRL-1 and CTRL-2 keys. Simply point your mouse at the square you want to move to or to face, type the hotkey, and click on the square. The reason for using the hotkey is that you only have a couple seconds after activating the skill before you have to click on the square. The game seems to work in pulses, and you have to complete your move within that pulse, or it's cancelled.

Your pawns serve mainly to get in the way. Have half your raid move the middle pawns forward. Once they've moved, they can right-click on the chess buff to cancel it, and take control of another piece.

The game itself revolves around the bishops, because they are the only pieces that can heal. To win the game, just kill the enemy bishops, then kill the king. The queen is a long-ranged caster, and can do this nicely.

Watch out! Medihv cheats! He'll lay down fire or buff his pieces. Move your pieces away when this happens.

Also note that the pieces are the characters from the original game of Warcraft.

See http://www.wowwiki.com/Chess_event for much more information.

Reaching the Chess Event is a matter of clearing just a few rooms of really nasty trash after passing the Shade of Aran's door. The trash on the way to the Shade of Aran is the real problem. There's a lot of it, the monsters have a lot of health, and it has a two-hour respawn time. If you are still learning Shade, you should attempt him a few times, then make sure to go collect your free Chess loot before the two-hour respawn timer is up. Watch out, though. There are three packs of trash with Sorcerous Shades that can easily get out of control and wipe the raid. You don't want to wipe on those once the trash after the Menagerie (The Curator's room) starts respawning.

when does the chest loot 'dissapear' ? After a soft reset, or with the weekly reset?

Commento di 20820

From 2.3 PTR Patchnotes:

The Chess Event chess in Karazhan now has a tap list so it can only be looted by players who were involved in the chess event.

Commento di Radrin

My guild did this one on Deathwing about a week ago, and it was my first time. We actually lost the first round as several of us (Myself included) had never played before. I spent most of the round sitting on my ass in the corner with my water elemental.

Regardless, there are several little tricks to this game that are indeed rather useful... however they don't shine unless you are doing what we were doing. After we finished the main event, myself and the other warlock stuck around to play each other in a game of chess, he took control of the horde pieces, I took mine.

Amusing to say the least, blizz should replace WSG with it. Maybe then people would play.

Also of note: For anyone else who does it, take note that if you give a piece a command, that piece will continue to do that command until told to do otherwise. I would suggest Conjuror fireball aoe spam and healer spam on him/the king. (And of course horde counterparts.)

Commento di 80642

Is it possible for a raid to have control of both sides during the event?

Ex) Horde takes control of their pieces, 1 or 2 raid members take control of the other pieces and sabotage them. Such as controlling the other pieces healers and not doing anything with them.

Commento di 139095

Very easy. Just play chess. Heals on the King and ur good. Obect kill the other king. Beware of the cheating involed. It does a number on u if ur not paying attention.

Commento di Chocopie

Certain aspects of chess do not actually apply. Such as, being able to move two spaces forward with your pawn. The bishop and quite possibly, the rook, have issues as well.

I probably missed something.

Blizzard has been trying to fix the current issue with the chess event. Our group has had their Chest been un-lootable by half the raid twice. To warn you, here's the series of events.

1)You start up the chess event.
2)After switching pieces or having your piece die, you might be teleported to Curator's Room.
3)You run back to try to help the raid finish the event
4)You win the chess event and the ENTIRE raid (and sometimes it's not the entire raid, just those who have not died/switched) gets teleported over to Curator.
5)Once you all get back, you see that the board is reset and everything is normal except when you walk up to the Dust Covered Chest, it's un-lootable.
6)The raid then spams tickets to blizz to get their gear. DONT EXPECT AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. This type of issue usually takes a week and a half give or take a few days.

For our raid, we had only the ones who had not died or not switched peices stay in the room, we had it on master loot and the lootmaster was able to loot the chest, however he only had 5 options to give the loot to, of course the 2 people that needed the pieces had died... after sending a ticket, we got our gear in the mail.
TICKET DISCLAIMER- Don't expect your badges if you cant loot, just be content with your epics and you might be lucky and they'll give them to you.

Castle early, watch for En Passants, and dont get picky with your Promotions.

Commento di 127328

Did this get buffed somehow? I noticed Medivh's cheating was a little more gratuitous than usual after 2.4 or whatever Sunwell patch was. Like, the random fire actually did substantial damage to the pieces and stuff.

It's still a laughably easy event, we were just a little surprised when one of our healers got burned down in the back row.

Commento di 151059

After my raid tonight cleared everything, me and my friend got bored afterwards and started to face each other in this; he played orc, I played human. I lost. =*(

Commento di Archibolt

From WoWwiki:

Taking control of a piece may sometimes result in an near-immediate disconnect. The only way back into the game is to wait some time until the player is removed from the game with a "desertion" like debuff, or by quickly releasing control of the piece before the disconnect actually takes place.

We had something abit similar to this bug tonight (11/06/08). Our MT, healer and dps got DC'ed abit after we started the game. I think they could move for a sec or two but then they got kicked out. When they came back, their chess piece just disapeared. . We were left there unable to lose because the MT took the King piece. Thus we were unable to continue. After Medhiv killed all our pieces, it just wouldn't reset, because the game thinks that there the king piece is still around, but they were unable to reach/target/killl it. And we were stuck there. It was really frustrating since we were planning on getting Chess over with then onto Prince. Now we have to reclear the thrash from Curator. (Chose to ignore Shade for the night).

Anywho just thought i might report this as it might be a new bug from the latest patch seeing as no one reported something similar yet.

Commento di 169009

First of all has anyone ever even heard of wiping on chess? and if you do whipe does your character lose durability or die?

well anyway as a tank this is prolly the best "Boss" because you DONT tank and it drops the best tank sword for you at the time...really fun too i always just mess around as a grunt.

Commento di Thottbot

This is the chest that holds the loot after the Chess Event

Commento di Thottbot

is it hard to win?

Commento di Thottbot

Yes!

Probably the hardest encounter in Karazhan

Commento di Thottbot

this is the biggest joke in kara...congratz! get your free BoJ and free loot

Commento di Thottbot

chess whas soloable

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=39533
link goes to movie with chess solo, very fun

but blizz nerfed it so dont try it now

Commento di Thottbot

basicy a bit of fun and extra reward for progress

Commento di Thottbot

iv doen kara plenty of times, but everytime i do it i either join in after chess, or at the start and we end at currator for the day. so how many epics does it drop at a time?

Commento di Thottbot

I don't believe the above droprates are right. The badges are correct, but King's Defender ALWAYS drops. I've seen ten chess runs in person, and three times I've witnessed a horde friend do it. Every main tank in my guild has this sword, and that's alot of drops.

I don't think a ton of people can be THAT lucky, either.

Commento di Thottbot

i soloed chess event today and it was really hard it took me 7-8 times to win

Commento di Allakhazam

This drops when you kill the king of the opposite faction if your king does not die first during the chess event in Karazhan.

Dust Covered Chest
