On a side note Yor himself is stupidly easy. Just a simple tank and spank. Only special ability is a breath attack. Pretty much the same breath attack all core hound type mobs use in the game.

Comment by 42964

The loot is boe too, with the exception of the rings, so at least if you don't need it someone can sell it.

Comment by 45784

How do you summon this boss? My guild did heroic Mana Tombs Post Patch and never saw this guy.

Comment by 6833

Note the rings are not a 100% drop chance, killed him 3-4 times now and only had a BOE item drop.

Comment by 56396

Yor can be summoned and fought prior to end boss.

Comment by 81769

hmm...well well...but what exactly is the pre quest for this boss?I was looking everywhere but can't find it!

Please help!

Comment by 83517

Easy mode boss, and the drops reflect that. But hey, a free badge, and BoE loot that you can peddle to less fortunate people on the AH, I'm not complaining.

The ability to "summon" Yor, or rather, unlock his stasis chamber, is gained through the comlpetion of a long and extremely time consuming (if you're doing it on your own anyway) quest line that begins with this quest: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10970

Comment by 86047

Stupid question, maybe, but... Is it possible for me to open the chamber with my main (Consortium exalted with key) and then die or reset it somehow so I can get my alt in for the fight/loot?
What exactly happens when he resets/a party wipes? He goes back to the chamber? Never wiped on him yet... LoL

Comment by Avalonia

Yor drops some of the best rings in the game. I hardly see how his drops "suck".

Comment by 33682

Currently the object used to summon him, Nexus Prince Shaffar's Personal Stasis Chamber, is bugged. It looks like a big pink bubble, one that by this time a player exalted with consortium is well used to opening, but with a sick twist. It cannot be clicked to opened.

You can only open the bubble by finding an extremely small spot on it, about one pixel in size, where the interaction 'cog' appears and lets you use the object. It took me a good 20 minutes to find it, and next time I go it'll take just as long. It's that stupid.

Suggestion for players: spend your time between wipes looking for it.

Suggestion for Blizzard: Authorize GMs who can spawn him for players who don't want to deal with your buggy objects and useless email responses to tickets.

Atm After patch 2.3 his chamber is a little buggy.
It almost looks as tho u cant summon him but if u click all around the base of the chamber u might find the spot to activate the fight.
Took me about 1 min to find the spot to click

Rightclicking the key and waiting for the hand to light up while searching the base worked for me. Had no luck finding a cogwheel at the base. Was facing S/E when I found it (back against most of the room).

Comment by icejack

Just 3 man this boss, easiest way to get a badge of justice. And a random blue thats BoE

Setup:
1 Tank prot(full epic)
1 Rogue daggers (some epic, most blues)
1 Shaman resto (full gladiator, me)

Comment by 60381

With the quest I just had to summon three elites to get the mark of the nexus king in Blade's Edge. Did a MT run with my guildie, and got exhaulted after the 1st boss. Once we did the last boss, I HSed to shatt, turned in the pre-quest for Yor - and since I got exhaulted I got the key to summon him right away.

Got 2 badges from the daily, 4 from bosses and 5 from the Yor quest= 11 badges from one heroic run, not bad at all

Comment by 110016

To open the chamber, I stood next to it and swung my camera overhead so I was looking down at it. Much of the top surface seemed to be activatable.

Comment by SignupSucks

Does Yor give any reputation with Consortium for killing him?

I am trying to figure out the best use for Ethereum Prison Keys for the jump to exalted. Each key is worth 250 rep individually, unless you are unlucky and get an NPC who gives reputation with one of the other factions (rarity in my experience). You can also turn in 5 for 500 rep, a Stasis Chamber Key, and a chance at a Mark of the Nexus King, which is used to summon Yor before you are exalted with Consortium.

Straight up from what I know, using Prison Keys to get ID Tags is better reputation, but I don't know if the Stasis Chamber mobs give reputation, nor how much Yor does if you're lucky enough to get a mark. Can anyone shed some light on these numbers?

Yor's world,heeeeeeeeeee's the maaaaaan!

*whispers* *he never sees the sun...* even though he runs through a desert in bright daylight like a %^&.

Comment by 153710

Killing Yor does not provide any rep towards The Consortium. (at least at the Revered level I can't say for lower)

Comment by exen

Yor drops one of:
Nexus-Prince's Ring of Balance
Yor's Revenge
Ring of Conflict Survival
Band of the Crystalline Void
Shaffar's Band of Brutality
Yor's Collapsing Band
Windchanneller's Tunic
Skystalker's Tunic
Mistshroud Tunic
Slatesteel Breastplate

Slatesteel, Mistshroud, Skystalker and Windchanneller's are items with a matched appearance (but no set bonus) to a whole outfit of each armor type. The legs are the only other BOE piece of the collections and all require some kind of difficult-to-gather TBC reputation item.
Shoulders: common drop from Purging the Chambers of Bash'ir
Belt & bracer: rare drop from Skettis minibosses (Adversarial Blood)
Legs: common drop from Terokk
Helm & gloves: contained in the class-specific geodes sold by Aether-tech Master in Ogri'la
Boots: rare drop from ordinary Ethereum Prison monsters
Getting a full set is a pretty serious time sink, but they look good without being too flashy, great candidates to transmogrify. There are some one-off pieces that match, but they're widely scattered through TBC content and some items with matching models are not the same armor type.

Comment by Edmundalcorn

8: They say every dog has his day, but this hound has been long since forgotten--even the prince he shares a dungeon with has probably forgotten him. He was optional after all.

This is the answer!

I didn't forget about you, Yor. :)

Comment by Shirubia

Funny thing, a week ago I was farming Yor for the cloth chest piece he drops, a week later he appears as one of the easter eggs in wowhead xD

Comment by Lostelf

Is the quest still needed to summon him after 4.3 ? i know they changed the dungeons around and moved quests to other places ect... in this patch.

Comment by Feliciamarie

Killing Yor will not allow you to reset the instance to grind for keys.

Comment by MakruraBM

"Yor" momma!

Comment by TheStatman

@WarcraftDevs if you have The Eye of Haramad, will you be able to summon Yor in the Timewalker Mana-Tombs?

- Yes, and his loot will scale to suit your natural level like other boss loot.

Comment by Vlad

Here is my experience summarized on how to get this item. I just did it on one of my characters to prepare for Timewalking in patch 6.2.

Before you start you might consider purchasing the required materials that will be required further into the quests. It can help reduce farm and speed up completion. At some point you'd need to turn in 10xEthereum Prison Key, but in addition you'd need one extra to continue the quest chain. So if I were you, buy at least 10 of these from the Auction House. Though this is not required, just saves you perhaps an hour of farm in total (if unlucky like me.)

Anyway start by doing these quests in the following order:
1. Seek Out Ameer (requires Honored)
2. A Mission of Mercy
3. Ethereum Secrets (repeatable, do once)
4. A Thousand Worlds (requires Revered)
5. Stasis Chambers of Bash'ir
6. Purging the Chambers of Bash'ir (repeatable, do once)
7. The Mark of the Nexus-King
8. Stasis Chambers of the Mana-Tombs
9. Nexus-Prince Shaffar's Personal Chamber (repeatable, do once)
10. The Eye of Haramad (requires Exalted)

One tip to greatly increase the speed of the farm is to actually enter Heroic Mana-Tombs because you can farm the last boss indefinitely. He will first spawn Ethereal Beacon and these mobs will spawn Ethereal Apprentice and these give 10 rep in Normal, and 21 rep in Heroic. If you have 4 hours to kill spamming one macro, basically create this:
/cleartarget
/targetexact Ethereal Apprentice
/use ABILITYTHATCANBESPAMMEDTOKILLSTUFF
/stopattack
/tar player
/use Battle Standard of Coordination
I've included the Battle Standard of Coordination to speed up the process. Also helps you not forget to spawn it once it is off cooldown and the old one despawns.

Once Exalted you can go to Image of Commander Ameer and complete the final quest The Eye of Haramad (only requires Exalted, nothing else) for The Eye of Haramad and you can spawn Yor each time you visit the instance - no need to farm keys for one time use consumables.

Comment by wisedada

With a friend, I have finally discovered the dog race Yor belong to!

It's a Yor...shire

Comment by Kurasu

As mentioned above, Yor can be summoned in Timewalking dungeons, thus giving you an extra 5 badges toward your total.

Also, while his chestpieces are BoE in Heroic Mana Tombs, they are BoP in Timewalking dungeons.

Comment by kirthgersen

Anyone regularly farming Yor and suddenly getting no worthwhile drops? I have been farming Yor over a few years and have noticed in the last 10 kills (all in the last 2 weeks) I am getting no armour drops at all. Before this, I would estimate that getting no armour drops would happen at a rate of around 1 in 10 pretty consistently. I know RNG is part of the deal but this seems so inconsistent.

Comment by ddb5343

In case you are having problems figuring out just how to summon Yor like I did, I made this guide for dummies (like me) once I finally got it.

Step-by-Step Guide to obtaining the Key to summon Yor in Mana-Tombs.

Note - You will need a minimum of 11 Ethereum Prison Keys to complete the quest line.
An easy way to obtain these is by running to Heroic Mana-Tombs. They will not drop until after
completing the quest "A Mission of Mercy"
They can drop from any mob with exception of the Mana Leeches. You usually get 3-6 per run.

1. Fly to The Stormspire in Netherstorm.
2. Go to the tallest building and accept the quest "Seek out Ameer" from Protectorate Advisor Rahim (45.8, 36.3)
Note - This quest requires you to be Honored with The Consortium before it is available.
3. Fly to Protectorate Watch Post in Netherstorm and turn in quest to Commander Ameer (59.5, 32.4)
4. Accept the quest "A Mission of Mercy" from him.
Note - You might also accept the quest "The Eternium" since you will be killing the same mobs anyway.
5. Fly to Ethereum Staging Grounds (57, 37) and start killing mobs until you loot the Salvaged Ethereum Prison Key.
6. Return to Commander Ameer (59.5, 32.4) and turn in quest. Ameer uses the Ethereum Prison Key on the Salvaged Ethereum Prison next to him.
7. Accept the next quest "Ethereum Secrets" from him.
8. Return to Ethereum Staging Grounds (54.6, 40) and open any of the Ethereum Prisons by clicking on it. This will require 1 Ethereum Prison Key.
9. Once opened, the prisoner freed will turn hostile. Kill it and obtain the quest item Ethereum Prisoner I.D. Tag.
10. Return to Commander Ameer (59.5, 32.4) and turn in quest .
11. Accept the next quest "A Thousand Worlds" from him.
Note - This quest requires you to be Revered with The Consortium before it is available.
12. Complete the quest. This requires 5 Ethereum Prison Keys.
13. Accept the next quest "Stasis Chambers of Bash'ir" from him.
14. Fly to Bash'ir Landing in Blade's Edge Mountain (51.2, 11.7).
15. Complete the quest by clicking on the Stasis Chamber Alpha.
16. Once opened, the prisoner freed will turn hostile. Kill it and obtain the quest item Evidence from Alpha.
17. Fly to the Image of Commander Ameer (52.9, 15) to turn in the quest.
18. Accept the quest "The Mark of the Nexus-King" from him.
19. Accept the repeatable quest "Purging the Chambers of Bash'ir" from him.
20. Complete the quest to obtain the Ethereum Stasis Chamber Key. This requires 5 Ethereum Prison Keys.
21. Fly to the Ethereum Stasis Chamber close by - usually in clusters of 3 and click on one the Chambers.
22. Once opened, the prisoner freed will turn hostile. Kill it and obtain the quest item Mark of the Nexus-King from it. Hopefully you get it on first attempt, otherwise you need to return to Image of Commander of Ameer (52.9, 15) to get another Ethereum Stasis Chamber Key from him which requires another 5 Ethereum Prison Keys.
23. Return to Image of Commander of Ameer (52.9, 15) and turn in quest.
24. Accept the quest Stasis Chambers of the Mana-Tombs from him.
25. Go to Mana-Tombs which is north entrance at Ring of Observance in Terokkar Forrest (39.6, 62.3)
26. Enter Mana-Tombs (Heroic mode) and go to the Mana-Tombs Stasis Chamber (in the room after Pandemonius)
27. Click on the chamber to complete the quest.
28. Return to return to the Image of Commander of Ameer in Blade's Edge Mountains (52.9, 15) and turn in quest.
29. Accept the quest "The Eye of Haramad" from him.
Note - This quest requires you to be Exalted with The Consortium before it is available.
30. He will give you The Eye of Haramad which is the final step and the permanent key to summon Yor. This item must be in your bags in order to summon Yor. If you lose it you can return to Image of Commander of Ameer in Blade's Edge Mountains (52.9, 15) and he will give you another one.

Comment by TerribleAtGames

For owners of The Eye of Haramad: You need to have this key in your bags in order to let Yor out. It wont work if you have the key stored safe and sound in the bank.

Comment by tooltip

With Patch 11.0.5, Nexus-Prince Shaffar now drops Spare Key to Shaffar's Stasis Chamber -- but only in the timewalking version of Mana-Tombs.

Comment by Ignimortis

~~Bugged as of 27/01/2025 - Stssis Chamber does not spawn on Heroic. It instead spawns on Normal, but there is no loot, as Yor's loot is designated as Heroic-only and there's no Normal mode drop table.~~

Fixed as of 12/04/2026 - Yor spawns on Heroic as it should, drops epic chestpieces, all is well.

Comment by zutroy

As of patch 11.2.0, I'm seeing Yor spawn in heroic now. Wasn't working last week.

Comment by Kallar1276

Tried again today a the boss was bugged since Jamuary, today Yor spawned and dropped loot on heroic, so I guess they finall fixed him.

Comment by Hollyleaves

Wanna kill Yor and work on your transmog pieces? As I write this, it's 2025, and you're probably max-leveled to solo this.

First, he won't show up until you get to Revered with the Consortium, and do the applicable lead up quests for him to show up.

If you're not Revered, pick up quests from the ethereals in Nagrand and Netherstorm to get on your way. Rep grinding isn't so bad, especially if you can pick a time like Darkmoon Faire to pick up a rep buff from riding the roller coaster, or any other event such as WoW's Anniversary, etc. Also, get into Heroic Mana Tombs and farm the entire trash. Each run grants you well over 2000 rep. Wait it out an hour or so, and do it again after the trash reappears. You'll have acquired rep in no time.

Once Revered, go back to Netherstorm and find Commander Ameer (52.9, 15) and pick up the quest "The Mark of the Nexus-King".

This will start you on a journey of flying back and forth from Blade's Edge Mountains to Mana Tombs to complete the subsequent quests. You'll need several Ethereum Prison Keys to turn in to the Image of Ameer in Blade's Edge, and certainly the how-to's for each quest is found here on WoWHead.

Best to get Exalted with the Consortium so you don't have to mess with keys and marks every day. The drops from Yor may take many attempts, and since Heroics can only be done once per day, and rep isn't shared across characters, the real question is whether or not you care to grind this on more than one character to better your chances.

November 23rd 2025 Patch 11.2.5

I did the last 2 quests to get the Eye of Haramad. (Character was long time exaltd on BC factions.) Went into Manatomb hc again (cleared 20 minutes ago for the quest), went up to Yor and opened his stasis chamber with the eye.
He spawned, i killed him, got loot. I encountered no bugs here anymore. Seems to work like it should

Comment by Ciel77

Saw an endeavor with 150 points reward to kill 1 boss in Mana Tombs, Wow that will be so easy I say to myself.

Get there, wait I've never even seen this boss somehow... Look it up, giant ass quest to unlock it.
