Raid - Battle for Azeroth
Crucible of Storms
2 encounters, 63 boss abilities and 19 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
A long-submerged evil stirs beneath the Shrine of the Storm. The whispers that drove Lord Stormsong to madness echo within the depths, a siren song of eldritch power. Those who listen and obey prepare dark rituals to carry out their master's will. Whatever nightmarish schemes fuel their fanatical devotion, one thing is certain: they must be stopped.

Loot Table Value
Every one of Crucible of Storms’s 19 drops is Bind on Pickup, so none of this loot can ever reach the Auction House. The table below the bosses is the complete reward list; its value is item level, not gold.

Encounters
The Restless Cabal
Called from the depths to retrieve three relics of ancient power, the Restless Cabal is bound to serve N'Zoth and attend to his will. Zaxasj speaks of promises and power while Fa'thuul crushes their opposition with brute force.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Zaxasj the Speaker assails targets from range while Fa'thuul the Feared strikes his main target with powerful melee blows. Whenever one of the members of The Restless Cabal loses 25% of their maximum health, they empower and activate the nearest Relic of Power. Empowering a Relic of Power unleashes its full magic and also activates Visage from Beyond or Eldritch Revelation. In LFR difficulty, Zaxasj and Fa'thuul ignore the Relics of Power they have already activated.
Tanks
- Swap tanking Fa'thuul the Feared to ensure that Shear Mind does not stack too high.
- Position enemies within Custody of the Deep when the Trident of Deep Ocean is activated to deplete the shield.
- Ensure Fa'thuul the Feared is nearest to a Relic of Power he has not yet activated when his health nears 75%, 50%, or 25%.
Damage Dealers
- Ensure only one ranged player receives Aphotic Blast from Zaxasj the Speaker to minimize its effects.
- Stagger interrupts on Witness the End to manage incoming damage.
- Destroy Visage from Beyond before it can cast Terrifying Echo.
Healers
- Manage stacks of Promises of Power, as higher stacks will make the target more vulnerable.
- Players are unable to be healed under the effects of Embrace of the Void, ensure health is high before it occurs!
- Keep health levels high during Storm of Annihilation to prevent Annihilate from destroying players.
Relics of Power
Whenever Zaxasj or Fa'thuul reaches 75%, 50%, or 25% health remaining, they activate the powers of the Relic nearest to their location.

Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void
When she struck her bargain with N'Zoth ten thousand years ago, Queen Azshara offered one of her most devoted followers into the Old God's service. Now Uu'nat and the crawling masses he commands herald the coming of their master, as foretold by the stars.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Uu'nat battles his enemies using the gift of N'Zoth, offering power and corruption. Only with the three Relics of Power do the forces of Azeroth stand a chance at survival. In stage one, Uu'nat calls upon the many eyes of N'Zoth to blast and confuse players. In stage two, Uu'nat is assisted by waves of N'Zoth's minions who seek to overwhelm their enemies. In stage three, Uu'nat uses the sheer power of N'Zoth's mighty gaze to wither and crush players.
