Comentario de Wishblade

I wonder how, or even if, this achievement is gonna work.

Will we have access to both Horrific Visions, despite faction, and can move from one to the other when inside the scenario? Do we need to complete this on both a Horde and Alliance character? Will it be updated to only require your faction's Horrific Vision? Will the achievement be removed entirely?

So far, I'm guessing either it'll be just the one Horrific Vision or we actually need two characters on either side. Kinda feel it should be the first one, considering "the Faceless One", not two. :P

*Feat of strength...* Why do I hear boss music?

Comentario de MusedMoose

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world

I have Tears for Fears for this feat.

Comentario de Dejavudoo

This title is account wide for characters of all levels.

Comentario de Qoko

The guide is now up and running, which means this post going forward will only serve as a log of what has been (it's in the spoiler tag unedited since 20/03). All future updates will be done in the guide! Cheers all for the support so far.

Post updated 20th March as I have this since the 18th. Disclaimer: at cloak rank 15 these are supposed to be challenging but manageable. They're far from trivial but practice makes perfect. After the cloak's upgraded fully, I'd try to keep doing one run a week for the 470, but farm 4-mask runs for Mementos (granted the last remark depends a little bit on the severity of Madnesses for the given week)

I can give some insights on this feat of strength from a personal point of view. In the rank 12 week I've done five runs in Orgrimmar that I sadly failed. Two weeks later with my cloak still on 13 I managed Orgrimmar and the first run the week thereafter (with still cloak 14) I oneshot Stormwind. I've done it on a Havoc whom are arguably one of the easier specs to get this done. However, each class and spec will have it easy with certain aspects and harder with others.

In a nutshell, you are running Visions solo, with the mobs buffed by 125% hp, half max Sanity (575), two Madnesses per area, leaving zones behind you, taking 500% regular Sanity drain from abilities and spawn Horrific Effigies below 50% Sanity. All in all, there's as good as no room for major error, and slowing down or minor errors make things harder.

Pre-tips

I wrote this comment on cloak rank 12; obviously, the 5% decreases to Sanity reduction that are still to come will help, but not trivialize it.
You want as good as all upgrades from the Titan Archive sans the group ress. You could go without Destabilization (I failed barely with 1/3), but that's about it.
Get a Gift tracker; getting Gift to proc on elites and bosses is a huge difference, especially those where avoiding mechanics is harder.
Go full raid buffed: flask, food (healing baseline > movement speed > CC reduction from Vision food), pots, buff scrolls.
Bring plenty K'Babs. These will restore a good chunk, more efficient in the Tainted area.
Know where the Vision buffs are and what to do; use HandyNotes for quick reference.
Know how the potions work (WeakAuras are available). IMO, buffs are a trade off as the negative effects are nasty.
Mixed dps build is key: eventually the zone bosses will be biggest challenge throughout.

Run
General

The largest threat are the elites & bosses, as missing a Sanity drainer can pretty much one shot you.
In fact, timing elite and boss pulls around the Gift cooldown is key; check Ofrenda de los titanes on my comment how to try and bait it.
Get the potion color immediately after starting, and consider correct colored pots as a ~20% Sanity restore.
As timing is less relevant if you have K'Bab, get easy to reach buffs first. These are all relatively close by and will help in Lost areas.
Know your status of the Cranial Defibrillator (solo ress). If it's still available, you can take small risks, though you want to keep it for the final boss.
Trying to keep Vision Hunter up will speed up the run eventually, though for longer paths you'll mount anyway.

Area severity danger:

The Tainted area gives respite. You can't stay forever, but Sanity's worth more in here than outside.
Corrupted areas are relatively harmless: elites should upkeep your Sanity mostly throughout, just watch out on bosses and don't overpull.
Lost areas are a literal nightmare: you do have to keep pace due to increased drain, but misjudging elites can easily deplete you instantly.

Orb use

Orgrimmar: Inquisidor Gnshal, Rexxar and Thrall.
Stormwind: Señor supremo Mathias Shaw, Magister Umbric and Alleria Brisaveloz.

Haste cooldown use

Orgrimmar: Mole trastornada por el Vacío + Vez'okk el Lóbrego* & Rexxar.
Stormwind: Señor supremo Mathias Shaw & Alleria Brisaveloz.

*arguable, but you don't need it on Thrall if you don't do a major screw up due to easier Madnesses.

Vision specific guide
I will break down the Vision on Gift or orbs uses, as this is the make or break point on whether you should move forward. Mind that this is a loose guideline. What you dps and how quick depends what you can use for procs and/or buffs; always make the correct decision on the fly. For Gifts I'll state what to proc it on (it requires kills which makes planning key), what to use it on and what to do during its cooldown. A few notes: I expect you to know what to avoid and not, use other guides for that. I abbreviated Tainted, Corrupted and Lost areas to just the first letter, a Gift in bold means that's the haste cooldown and a Gift in cursive is the zone clear.

Orgrimmar
As we're using the haste cooldown on the Lost area bosses we can start anywhere: I used to start right so I could use it on Rexxar and Thrall. I'm thinking though that starting left is slightly better due to elite placement. If utilized right, you shouldn't need an orb on the left side; this will give a lot more freedom on the right.

Know-how beforehand

Always kill Naros (+10% damage), Bwemba (+10% haste) and Tejedor de distorsión Dushar (+10% crit) if up. Ignore Gamon as the health increase's negligible.
Ignore the two caster pack in Wisdom: getting chain stunned can be fatal even without elites.
Valley of Honor can be partly skipped. Depending on how comfortable you are, clearing it is slightly less risky.
Using Gift on the Inquisitor is nigh impossible: you could zerg Misha and run back but that's sub-optimal.
Baiting Gift before Rexxar and Thrall can be frustrating, but highly worth your while.

Run by Gift & orb use

Grommash Hold (T): proc Gift on right side mobs; use it on mobs towards Naros and Hold guards (and Naros). Spend the cd on potion color, K'Bab and clearing mobs towards the Drag.
Valley of Spirits (C): proc Gift on Zek'han's mobs; use it on Diezmador Shiq'voth, aim Rush towards Wisdom. Spend the cd to access Wisdom, clear middle and pack before the bridge.
Valley of Wisdom (L): proc Gift on the Horror pack; use it on Horror coagulado; spend the cd on Hulk thrash and chests.
Valley of Wisdom (L): proc Gift on Mole trastornada por el Vacío; use it on Vez'okk el Lóbrego; spend the cd to go towards Valley of Spirits.
Valley of Spirits (C): proc Gift on totem mobs; use it on remaining totem mobs (and Bjemba); spend the cd on K'Bab and chests.
Valley of Spirits (C): proc Gift on the two Elemental trash; use it on Elemental del olvido; spend the cd running & clearing to the Drag.
The Drag (C): proc Gift on the Annihilator pack; use it on Aniquilador Lak'hal; spend the cd clearing the Drag (and Warpweaver).
The Drag (C): ORB (two orbs) as Gift's not proccable and kill Inquisidor Gnshal (watch for Torrent!).
Valley of Honor (L): likely Gift procced on the Inquisitor; use it on Misha; spend the cd clearing up to the Mindhunter.
Valley of Honor (L): proc Gift on a corpse A'qir; use it on Cazamentes aqir; spend the cd clearing up to Rexxar and chests.
Valley of Honor (L): ORB (one orb) whenever the haste cooldown is ready. Max sanity, one orb.
Valley of Honor (L): proc Gift on the remaining A'qir pack; use it on Rexxar; spend the cd walking back (totems can disconnect you).
Grommash Hold (T): give yourself some respite if you have an orb left. Check all buffs, chests if you want, possibly buff potions as just Thrall's left.
Grommash Hold (T) LAST ORB, proc Gift on left side Hold thrash; use it on Thrall. Enjoy your credit and 470 loot.

Thrall's Mad World:

The boars are your number one prio at the start. They should not live to cast at all.
Defiled Ground is the only thing that can actually kill you. Just circle around him properly.
Surging Darkness take a fair amount of time to explode. Plan accordingly (especially if a Defiled Ground follows).
Hopelessness is harmless but can screw up your orientation; get rid of it but still prio Defiled & Darkness.
Cries of the Void might get you low and/or proc Cranial. You can risk if you still have Cranial to just ignore it completely.

Stormwind
Stormwind updated, as I now have Mad World since 18th March. The optimal path is Dwarven District, Old Town, Trade District and Mage Quarter; the opposite route is sub-optimal as you'd either need to teleport back and lose time mounting or run back down the Mage Tower.

Know-how beforehand

Stormwind is arguably quite a bit harder than Orgrimmar; doing it before cloak 15 is tricky.
Always get the buffs: damage mine (+10% damage), kill Espíritu de alfombra de oso enfadado (+10% haste), Banco de hermandad desatendido (+10% crit) and/or Agustus Moulaine (+7% Vers) if up.
Stormwind is linear, but has a more free navigation within zones; pull non-elites around Gift procs accordingly.
Corrupted areas are easier (despite the vision as whole generally being harder); use this to your advantage.
Most of the Growths should probably just be ignored, especially if you have a combat drop.
Using Gift on Umbric is only possible if you get it from the Horrific Effigy; not recommended but use it if it happens.
Baiting Gift before Shaw and Alleria can be frustrating, but as with Rexxar and Thrall, worth your while.

Run by Gift & orb use

Alleria's Mad World:

The Eye is a cowardly load of b*llcr*p. Ticks take about 30 Sanity and will be your biggest drainer.
Void Eruption is a practical one shot. Don't. Risk. This.
Chains is a practical near one shot. Don't. Risk. This.
Melee should kick (interact) Ordnances away; ranged can just sidestep it.
Darkened Sky should be sidestepped; similar to the Defiled Ground on Thrall.
Interrupt Tainted Polymorph; it's the only interruptible cast.

Comentario de Sarthorius

The title may be account-wide, so it seems the FoS too. Hmmm, I play all classes, which one is the Best of the best to try this FoS? Rogues? DK (Unholy I presume, since it has a pet (for when it can't attack but the pet does, like in Umbric or an elite before him)? My main is BM Hunter but I'm seriously thinking of trying this on my DK, very high dps, especially on AoE with the DoT, pet transformation and Hellchains trait, with the DnD+Scourge Strike combo...

Invisibility can help but sometimes some bugs can take you out of it (for rogues).

Either Rogue or UH DK, or Havoc DH seems worth the try.

Comentario de Fury93

Just got mine as a Mage today! Hope to see more variations of these visions (and their accompanying titles) in the future

Comentario de schneizeru

If you want to proc gift before an elite but there are no enemies around, critters also have a chance to proc.

Comentario de Kronatan

Sadly but with full upgraded cloak this achive is a joke. Finished orgri at 14lvl with 2 orbs left. And Stormwind at 15 was even more easy. Had all 3 orbs left. From first try ofc. Probably blizzard need to make this FoS as zero orbs run. Cos its required at least some coordination and avoiding hard mistakes. But you can do many tiny one. Still good idea but feelings like Mage Tower in prepatch. But w/o prepatch. Just too ez for any1 who did 10+ runs and have 470+ gear. It would be cool if blizzard add more challenge moments inside visions. Cos right now its like M+15 for ppl who close M+20 in time. Still required some attention but actually pretty boring.

Comentario de Roshaa

Do you need this done on an alliance and horde toon?

Comentario de Pettypoopie

Does anyone have the /script to track the achievement? Can't seem to find the ID for it.

Comentario de jjanchan

For those gunning for this achievement, I have listed some tips below specifically with regard to the Stormwind Horrific Vision. In conjunction with the guides available (Horrific Vision of Stormwind Strategy and Ability Guide and Horrific Vision Strategies - Extra Zones, Faceless Masks, Consumables, Tips) this will give you a recipe for success.

Hidden Stormwind Buffs

For the first tip, you need to familiarize yourself with all of the "secret" buffs available in Stormwind. They are outlined on the map below.

Augustus Moulaine (7% Versatility)Angry Bear Rug Spirit (10% Haste)
Minefield Buff (10% Increased Damage Done)Neglected Guild Bank (10% Critical Strike)

Buffs:

Agustus Moulaine: Grants Baluarte retribuido
Espíritu de alfombra de oso enfadado Event: Grants Espíritu de oso
Minefield Event: Grants Potenciado
Banco de hermandad desatendido: Grants Enriquecido

For TomTom Users:

/way 54.4, 58 Versatility buff
/way 57, 49.5 Haste buff
/way 60.1, 37.4 Damage buff
/way 61.9, 76.1 Crit buff

Below are details on these buffs:

Out of four possible buffs, only two will be available on each run. You can tell if a particular buff is not active if the door to the appropriate building is closed.
For visual learners, this video by Suyocat outlines each buff and where they can be found within the vision.
Baluarte retribuido (7% Versatility)

Agustus Moulaine can be found in the building in the southwest part of the cathedral square. It is the building with the mailbox in front. The building is to the left of the cathedral as you face it.
Agustus Moulaine is fairly straightforward to kill; other than a fear, he doesn't have any concerning abilities to watch for.

Espíritu de oso (10% Haste)

This encounter can be found in the northeast section of the cathedral square, to the right of the cathedral as you face it. The building is immediately to the left of the exit leading to the Dwarven District.
This buff takes the longest to get, since you have to fight 3 waves of mobs; walking onto the bear rug spawns Espíritu de alfombra de oso enfadado. When killed, 3 Espíritu de silla de antárbol enfadado mobs will spawn. After these, roughly 4 total Espíritu de barrica de cerveza enfadados and Espíritu de libro enfadados will spawn - killing these will grant the buff.
While this make take a little time, it would be worthwhile in most all cases. These mobs don't have all that much health, and getting it at the beginning means 10% extra haste for the whole vision.

Minefield Event (10% Increased Damage Done)

This event is located in the Dwarven District. When you enter the District from the cathedral square, turn left. The first building on the left will be where to look for the open door.
This event involves navigating the path through the mines to the upper level. Once you reach the room on the second floor, step on the green mine to gain the buff.
The mines will do no damage if stepped on, but will teleport you back to the building entrance.
Note that the mines are very sensitive; if you walk too close to one (even if you dont "step" on it) you may trigger it. Give them a wider berth! This will be especially tricky in weeks where Locura: Pies agostados is active.
Once you reach the landing after the first flight of stairs, jump onto the railing to avoid the mines.

Enriquecido (10% Critical Strike)

Banco de hermandad desatendido, the mob that grants this buff, can be found in the bank in the southwest corner of the Trade District.
Banco de hermandad desatendido is fairly easy to kill, and doesn't have any concerning abilities.

Tips and Strategy

Titanic Research Upgrades

In general, the more you have of your Titanic Research Archive, the better. In general, my advice would be to tackle a 5-Mask Vision once you have completely unlocked every talent. Depending on your class and gear level, you can try without all of the talents unlocked, but the absolutely essential talents would probably be Desfibrilación craneal de urgencia (Tier 2) and Ofrenda de los titanes (Tier 6).

Ofrenda de los titanes

This is likely the most important Titanic Research Upgrade, and using it optimally is key to succeeding in your Horrific Vision.

Ofrenda de los titanes, when it is not on its internal cooldown, has a high chance to proc after killing any mob (including critters and Tumor de corrupcións on the ground).
Once procced, this ability will prevent all loss of Sanity for 20 seconds, including the passive Sanity drain from the zone you are in.
After it expires, the internal cooldown is triggered, and it will not trigger again until this 60 second cooldown has passed.
Using a Weak Aura to track this ability is very helpful, as you can trigger it at the best times during your runs (i.e. before engaging an Elite, particularly one that has high sanity drain). See the Weak Aura section below.
In general, I would go out of my way to ensure that the internal cooldown has passed and deliberately proc Ofrenda de los titanes for the following encounters:

Corrupción ilimitada (Mage Quarter)
Maestra de armas Terenson (Old Town)
Inquisidor Oraoscuro (Trade District)
Special Mention: Alx'kov el Infestado (Old Town) - Makes this encounter much less punishing

Exterminio de élite

In order to optimize this Research Upgrade, it is important to manage and monitor your Sanity level.

A Weak Aura to track your Sanity level makes this much easier, as it ensures you don't have to constantly mouseover your Sanity bar. See "Weak Auras" below for details.
As killing an Elite grants 200 Sanity, you want to ensure you are low enough to make maximum benefit of this.
If your Sanity bar is nearly full when you are about to engage an Elite, it may be worthwhile to clear other mobs in the meantime and then come back to the Elite.
Conversely, if you are getting low on Sanity it may make sense to bypass some mobs/non-elites to kill an Elite first before going back to the mobs again.
Chichón Perinola is a patrolling Elite that can be a huge boon for a relatively painless extra 200 Sanity as you are moving to or from the Trade District. See the section below for details.

Manual de uso del orbe

I won't mention when you should be using your orbs (as in a specific spot in the Vision), because that can change from run to run based on how things go for you. Instead, here are some tips when using this ability.

I would typically plan to drop an orb once I am reaching 100 Sanity or less, assuming you are not just about to kill an Elite with Ofrenda de los titanes ready to proc.
Remember that with Máscara ignota de la imaginación oscura active, an add can randomly spawn and put you in combat, preventing you from using an orb! Plan around this and drop the orb right after killing this mob when possible.
Having a timer weak aura (like the one I have listed below in the "Weak Auras" section) can give you a much better idea how much time you have before you reach 0 Sanity. Be sure to pay attention to it!
Remember that while you are standing in an orb, you are constantly gaining Sanity, healing a large amount, and are subject to NO madnesses (the orb acts like a mini-zone that is outside of the Vision altogether). As such, I tend to drop and orb such that I can stand in it and pull mobs/an Elite and start damaging it while I'm being topped up.

The healing is so strong, that you can pull a fairly large group and not have to worry about damage. If you do this, however, you want to make sure many of these mobs are dead by the time the orb expires.
Be careful about pulling certain mobs/Elites when in an orb, especially if they have abilities that will pull you out of it! One notable example is mobs in the Old Town section that have a grappling hook ability.

Route and Order of Districts

At the very beginning of the Vision, I often run through the cathedral square collecting mobs before going down an tunnel leading out of cathedral square and out of line-of-sight, thus forcing the mobs to group up. At this point it's worthwhile popping minor damage cooldowns to kill the group of mobs. The size of group you want to pull will depend on your class and spec, and any mass crowd control you have available to you.
My biggest piece of advice is to tackle the Mage Quarter first.

This is (in my opinion) the most challenging section of the Vision, and it is likely where you will most want to have your "cheat death" (Desfibrilación craneal de urgencia) available if things get hairy.
I find that it is useful to use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal/Tambores de furia on Corrupción ilimitada, very likely one of the nasiest Elites in the Vision, particularly for casters. This ensures that Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal/Tambores de furia is up again for Alleria Brisaveloz at the end.

After Mage Quarter, I will usually go counterclockwise, clearing Trade District, Old Town, then Dwarven District.
Depending on what secret buffs are active, you may want to try getting both of those before tackling one or both Lost areas.
In general, I use the portals to teleport back to the cathedral square at the end of both Lost Areas (Old Town and Mage Quarter), but in the Corrupted Areas (Trade District and Dwarven District) I will use the side entrances to reach the next area and ignore the portals.
When you have finished a Lost/Corrupted area and are moving to the next, this is often the best time to eat your K'Bab. You are least likely to be disturbed by random damage while you are eating in the Tainted areas, which is any area outside of a Lost or Corrupted zone.

Buff potions

There are numerous potions scattered around the Horrific Vision, each granting a specific effect (either positive or negative). There are black, green, red, blue and purple potions.

The various effects granted are as follows:

-100 Sanity (reduced based on cloak level)
+100 Sanity
Poción picante: Frequently breath fire dealing damage to nearby enemies. On expiration or removal you will catch fire yourself for a short time.
Poción de pereza: Heals 2% of maximum health every 5 seconds. On expiration or removal will slow movement speed for a short time.
Poción nauseabunda: Take 5% less damage from all sources. On expiration or removal you will Vomit uncontrollably for a short time.

Note that the very first effect is considered the BAD potion, and should be avoided. Notably, at the very beginning of the Vision there is a dead NPC (Morgan Mortero) that can pinpoint which coloured potion will be the "bad" one for your vision (it will change randomly for each new run).

After entering the Stormwind Vision, walking straight down the street will lead you to the corpse of Morgan Mortero at , an apothecary who made the mistake of drinking the wrong potion. There will be "Morgan's Note" lying in front of his outstretched hand, and next to him will be the potion that is the "bad" potion for that run. From that point on, every potion of that colour that you come across should be avoided!
If you are using the Weak Aura pack I recommended (see the section below), at this point you click the "bad" potion colour and the Weak Aura will tell you what each colour corresponds with! This can be very useful in tracking down the valuable +100 Sanity potions.

The first time you drink one of the buff potions (Poción picante, Poción de pereza, Poción nauseabunda) you will get a 5-Minute buff. The second time you click a potion of the same colour, it extend the duration by 15-Minutes.

Given this, if you keep clicking potions of the same colour, you can extend the buff indefinitely until the end of your vision.

When a buff expires or is removed (by clicking off the buff) you are CC'ed for a few seconds - you may run around briefly or be stunned. This can be VERY detrimental in a 5-Mask run, so it is very important to keep track of the remaining time on your buff.

If you keep finding the same potion and extending your buff, this could ensure you don't have to deal with the expiration consequences.
Another alternative is to manually right click the buff when it is soon-to-expire to remove it in a safe place, so that the CC can be dealt with while you are not engaged in combat.
In general, for 5-Mask runs, I tend to avoid the 3 temporary buff potions and only click the +100 Sanity potions. While the buffs the others provide can be useful, I feel there is too high a risk of the buffs expiring at inoppurtune times and causing problems.

With regards to the Poción picante potion, there are reports that the Fire Breath can randomly break you out of stealth as a Rogue, Druid etc. As such, those classes may want to avoid this buff,
This video by Suyocat gives a good overview of potions in Horrific Visions.

Sadly, Morgan Pestle drank the wrong potion and paid the price.

Morgan Pestle

Craggle Wobbletop

Chichón Perinola is a Neutral (non-Hostile) NPC that patrols around the outer road surrounding the Trade District (which is considered part of the Tainted area). What makes him special is that he is an Elite, and as such will trigger Exterminio de élite and grant you 200 Sanity on death! This makes him very worthwhile to tackle.

Craggle travels with a group of Toy bots that need to be dealt with. One in particular, Robot escudo reparado grants Craggle a damage reduction shield, making him incredibly difficult to kill. Craggle, in turn, grants his Toy bots an aura that increases their health by ten times.

To deal with the bots, you have two options:
1. You can distract Craggle by dropping a Conjunto de trenes de juguete.
  
  This item can be purchased from Toy vendors in Orgrimmar/Stormwind (with the vendor in Stormwind being the real world Chichón Perinola!)
2. Once the Toy is dropped and Craggle encounters it, he will start a long channeled spell while he looks at it. At this point, you can kite away his Toy adds and kill them outside of his aura.
3. You can crowd control Chichón Perinola. Maleficio, Polimorfia, Arrepentimiento, Parálisis or any other similar long-lasting CC will work. After he is CC'ed, pull his bots away and kill them outside his aura.
Craggle's Aura has a 40 yard range. What I would do is pull his Toy adds away until I saw their health total drop, then kill them there.
Both Craggle and his adds have a very sensitive leashing behaviour. If you pull his adds too far from him, they will reset. Further, after you have killed his bots and are attacking him, pulling him too far from his starting position will reset him!
The bots have about 300-400k health each once outside of Chichón Perinola's aura (In a 5-Mask run).
Chichón Perinola himself has no concerning abilities, and as such killing him is very easy. This makes the 200 Sanity quite painless to get!

Weak Auras

With the Weak Auras addon, you can add various tracking options to your interface for Horrific Visions. The Horrific Vision Tracker by Fatpala is what I used, although many more are available on Wago.

This aura pack includes:

A Ofrenda de los titanes tracker, which tells you when your Gift can proc (the internal cooldown is over), and counts down when you have th Gift buff.
A numerical Sanity counter.
Conversion of Sanity to time left, with automatic adjustment for Tainted/Corrupted/Lost areas.
A Potion tracker, which allows you to see what each potion grants you.

To use it, simply click the colour of the "bad" potion when you see it at the start of the Vision, and the the other colours will immediately adjust to provide the correct information.

To install the Weakaura once you have the addon, follow these steps in-game:

Type /wa to bring up the Weak Aura options
Click "Import" at the bottom of the right panel
Paste the string copied from the link (Horrific Vision Tracker by Fatpala)

Horrific Vision Foods

All of the Horrific Vision foods can be situationally useful, and based on your class, you may find there is one or another than best suits your needs.

The various buff foods available are:

Estofado espantoso: While well fed, regenerate 2% of your max health per sec while in a Vision of N'Zoth.

This food is my go-to as a DPS class. It allows for larger pulls, and with Máscara ignota del temerario active (All Sanity damage caused by creatures is increased by 400%) the passive regeneration can be a huge boon.

Aletavacío al horno: While well fed, increase movement speed by 20% while in a Vision of N'Zoth.

Most classes will find this food beneficial, especially given many mechanics that require heavy movement.

Delicia sospechosa: While well fed, reduce the duration of incoming crowd control effects by 20% while in a Vision of N'Zoth.

While most of the CC in a Vision is avoidable, there can be times when things don't go according to plan, and this food can help a little. In general it is probably the least useful Vision food, but it is also the least expensive to make (as it does not require the new fish, Aletavacío aberrante and Rechinador deforme)

Rechinador a la parrilla: While well fed, you assume the form of a K'thir, reducing the range that enemies will attack you while in a Vision of N'Zoth for 10 min.

If you don't play a stealth class, this food will allow you to skip some trash packs you might not otherwise be able to bypass, thus saving you time and effort.

The final new food, K'Bab is a special food and should be discussed in detail:

This food doesn't grant a food buff, but rather grants 100 Sanity if you spend 11 seconds eating it.
Because of this effect, you can eat K'Bab while you have another buff food active - it will not cancel or negate any other food buff.
There is a 3 minute cooldown that is triggered whenever you start eating. Whether or not you eat for the full 11 seconds and get the 100 Sanity, the cooldown will still have been activated.
For this reason, it is essential that you avoid any interruption that would prevent you 11 seconds of undisturbed eating. This could include:

Not moving far enough from a pool dropped by Máscara ignota del puente quemado before sitting.
Being at less than 50% Sanity and spawning a mob from Máscara ignota de la imaginación oscura that interrupts you. These spawn roughly every 1 minute, so plan accordingly.
Having a zone from Locura: Sombras inquietantes spawn under you, fearing you (Lost Area Madness).
Having a mob from Locura: Delirios oscuros spawn near you and stun you (Corrupted Area Madness).
Reaching 5 stacks with Locura: Entomofobia, causing you to run uncontrollably (Corrupted Area Madness).
To mitigate the above issues, it is highly advised that you eat your K'Bab in a Tainted Zone (while moving from between Lost/Corrupted Areas) as none of the madnesses will interrupt you.

Barring that, you can start eating right after one of the madnesses listed above procs, ensuring you are undisturbed for the following 11 seconds.

MAKE SURE you actually gain the 100 Sanity before getting up to move. If you watch your eating timer, that can be misleading, as it seems to be in the 11th second of eating that you gain Sanity.
The +100 Sanity is a one-time effect for each K'Bab you eat; you do not get an extra 100 Sanity for eating for 20 seconds, so there is no need to wait for that.

Miscellaneous Tips

Don't forget to stock potions (Poción de batalla de intelecto superior, Poción de batalla de agilidad superior etc.) or even lesser versions (Poción de batalla de fuerza, Poción de batalla de intelecto), as they can provide significant DPS boosts for large pulls and Elites.
Flasks are also very helpful, whether the best available (Frasco de las corrientes superior, Frasco de la resaca superior, etc.) or slightly older versions (Frasco de profundidades infinitas, Frasco de las corrientes, etc.)
Poción de sanación abisals can be a literal lifesaver when you are low on health! Remember that if you are a Warlock (or have a kind Warlock friend) Piedra de salud does not share a cooldown with these and other health potions!
It's worthwhile to have Poción de acción viva draénica for a trinket-like ability to break CC's of things get hairy. There are times you might get stunning in some really bad situations, so having these on hand can be critical. Keep in mind that these share a cooldown with combat potions.
If at all possible, use your Sanity Restoration orbs when you are running low on sanity and still have some trash to kill. When you use it right before an Elite/Mini-boss, the +200 Sanity provided by Exterminio de élite is typically not going to be fully credited as you will be close to max anyway.
To save time, it may be worthwhile to skip chests that are out of the way to ensure you complete the objectives. Further to this, skipping mailboxes (if you don't yet have Zampacorreos) is STRONGLY recommended, as it will often waste precious time.
If you want to practice your route, as well as making sure to check for the "bad" potion, hidden buffs, etc. it may be worthwhile doing a few back to back runs, starting with 1-3 masks and adding a mask each run. If you have the vessels to do this, it can help quite a bit (and give you a piece of Corrupted gear each time).
Remember that if you're struggling with a lower rank cloak, it may be worthwhile to wait a week or two. Each progressive rank of the cloak makes this easier, and at level 15 you have a high chance of success if you are careful and follow the above tips.
As mentioned earlier, I like to use Ansia de sangre/Heroísmo/Distorsión temporal/Tambores de furia on Corrupción ilimitada at the beginning of the run, and again on Alleria Brisaveloz at the very end.

If you aren't a class that has one of these spells, you should pick up Tambores de furia or Tambores de la montaña on the Auction House (whichever happens to be cheaper on your server).
An honorable mention in Stormwind would be Señor supremo Mathias Shaw as a mini-boss to use your haste cooldown on. I prefer not to, because he periodically stealths during the encounter and you stand around waiting for him to appear. Nonetheless, some might find him to be more difficult than Alleria Brisaveloz or Corrupción ilimitada.

Completed it today as a 476 elemental shaman. 1shotting org 5masks. But Stormwind 5masks last week was much harder, old town is so brutal with small streets, stunner mobs and fears. Lost extra life on Mathias Shaw, but managed to find enough 100 sanity pots, as well using Kbab on cooldown. Used my last orb before Alleria.

Comentario de Bursi

The secondary stat buff Perla de maná inestable obtained by completing a ¡Ataque naga! quest currently is also active while in a vision, so you can take this buff to get an extra boost.

Comentario de BiFelicia

I got this on my BM hunter about two months ago. It took me three tries to kill Rexxar, but if you pop an orb and focus the boars (I used freezing trap whenever there were two at once), you can kill Rexxar in the safe and steady way. I slowed down a bit, revived my pet, and killed Rexxar without issue by executing the boars before they could drain my sanity. I didn't even have to revive myself (with the research buff) when I finally did it! After that, Thrall was a breeze. If you kill the boars, you just have to do enough DPS to Thrall before you run out of floor space.

The Stormwind vision is straightforward on a BM hunter. Your pets will stop the missiles in Mage Quarter, which is lovely! In Mage Quarter, interrupt Void Buffet. In Old Town, focus and kill the informants first! They will cast Touch of the Abyss, and it can ruin a perfectly good run. Also, you can always run into the corner when fighting Matthias Shaw, which will cause the eyes to move to the corner too.

Comentario de Ashkii

For anyone passing by without the knowledge - this achievement will be removed at the launch of Shadowlands pre-patch as stated by Blizzard, making the title and achievement permanently unavailable for people to aquire.

"One of the more challenging achievements to arise in Visions of N’Zoth—Mad World—will no longer be acquirable once the pre-patch goes live. If you successfully earn the Feat of Strength, you’ll be granted a fitting title, “the Faceless One.”"

Comentario de khaosspawn

For those wondering what "Complete all objectives" means (like I did) - it means you have to do the objectives for each of the 4 areas and then kill the final boss. You do NOT have to get crystals, potions, chests or optional bosses (like the toy guy in SW).

I got the achieve on my Resto Druid and didn't pick up any chests/crystals/extra bosses - just to test it out - and I got the achieve.

You can run these two commands to help you track the hidden achieves:

/script AddTrackedAchievement(14141)
/script AddTrackedAchievement(14142)

Comentario de alpanhell

I think the guides related to this are pretty outdated. It's much quicker to level up your cloak now (a lot of the ridiculous page quests were nerfed) and you can get the resistance on the cloak up to the 80's now (Actually it's now over 120). When your cloak maxes out level wise at 15 it's at 50 Corruption Resistance, so this is more than double resistance. It should have a huge impact

It's a nasty grind, but what in this nasty xpac isn't? You can grind for the mount if you're a collector and fill out the research tree while doing it.

Not sure if I'm going to go for this but I'd like to try with a full research tree and cloak at full resistance and see what a difference it makes. I tried it once "normally" and way way too much rng for my taste.

Comentario de DemonicsFire

just did it today. stormwind is 100% harder then org. mostly caz both lost areas are so cramp compered to orgs open spaces. split personality can really screw a run, mostly in the mage quarter if that big mini boss in the middle sees you and throws all its aoe at you when you can move (in a 5 mask it will eat all your sanity)

Shaw is also harder then any of the org bosses, even Thrall. mostly caz of his eyes and him going invisible. orgs only hard boss is Rexxor, but a sanity orb places just before you fight him (so active when fighting him) can cut out a lot of the pain in that fight

hell, if i can do it anyone can. just take it slow and don't take unneeded risks

Comentario de Frostybolts

Just a minor factoid, you can still get credit even if your Emergency Cranial Defibrillation triggers and brings you back to life during your 5 mask runs. I wasn't seeing the hidden sub-achievement for Stormwind as being done on my guy last week, but when I barely eked out a 5 mask Org yesterday I got Mad World.

5 masks wasn't nearly as hard as the Mage Tower or the old solo Shartuul's Transporter event. You really have to be on top of every single mechanic though, because the Split Personality effect completely wipes out your margin for error.. You'll probably have to use your emergency buttons and eat into your sanity just to deal with unfortunate Split Personality timings, so you have to get everything else right.

Comentario de Wrathling

Completed on Warlock - Affliction - Jannaraeth-Area52 - It's a bit tougher on warlocks than some of the S+ classes and decent damage tank specs like Prot Paladins, but doable.

To any warlock attempting it, absolutely follow the guides and take some K'Bab food with you, get Well Fed from Ghastly, Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms, and Augment Rune. You might also want some superior intellect potions and health potions to bolster damage and defense in those tight fights.

Yes, Destruction is the better spec for locks in BfA, but I found Affliction to be more reliable in Visions due to the spread cleave you can inflict over large pulls.

I won't go into specific strategy for the two different visions as there are far better explanations in guides. However, my broad method for both Orgrimmar and Stormwind was to take it a measured pace. Don't pull massive packs like you might think to keep up pace. No, take your time and focus on quickly cleaning up one pack after the other. Think of it like hopscotch from one mob to the next on your way to end of each objective. If you need a second or two to catch your breath and wait for cooldowns, do so while keeping an eye on your Sanity. Generally, you can use your Sanity Refills after two objectives and then before the final boss. Supplement with the K'babs, but only use them outside of the Lost or Corrupted Areas. The best time to eat one is when you are crossing one of the bridges in Stormwind (considered part of the Tainted/starting area) or when you are crossing from the first two objectives of Org over to the The Drag. With rank 15 cloak, you'll barely lose Sanity while you eat.

Your cooldowns won't always be up for boss fights as the pace will make 3-minute cooldowns a little out of reach, but 2-min ones will generally up per boss fight. Talent Absolute Corruption for a bit less fight management and the mild survivability increase of Demon Skin also came in clutch. I highly recommend fully upgrading the tech tree before seriously attempting this. You can, of course, do without the group revive one.

For the route, I went Valley of Wisdom -> Spirits -> The Drag -> Honor -> Thrall for Org and Trade District -> Mage Quarter -> Dwarven District -> Old Town -> Alleria. Do not collect any chests or potions. These are speed runs for max efficiency, not Corrupted Memento farms, you can get those in later casual runs.

Always use Voidwalker as your pet, it makes things a lot easier and minimizes the direct damage you have to deal with to a bare minimum.

See you in Shadowlands, Faceless Ones.

P.S. - Be careful of a bug I encountered during the Shaw fight in Stormwind, where he teleports/vanishes and then reappear near you a few seconds later...if you stand next to the stone walls, he can become temporarily stuck inside the walls until he vanishes. If you are running tight on time or Sanity, this can cost you dearly so keep just a few steps out from the walls while dodging the Sanity drain from the Void Eyes.

I'm desperately searching achievements for Mundo loco today 9/20/2020, but I don't see it. I know they were supposed to remove it for pre-patch, but this isn't pre-patch. It really sucks because I finally did Stormwind yesterday and was getting myself psyched up for Orgrimmar on Tuesday (unless they pre-patch that day), but now it looks like that's a negative, Ghostrider.

Must have title for undead chars. :D

Comentario de Necromanic

Pro tips from an amateur:

1) Have iLVL 465
2) Drink all the potions except for the one that hurts you.
3) Ignore memento chests for the most part, your goal is to get through this with as little sanity loss as possible. Same for the consortium guy.
4) Buy a stack of K'Bab's. While I did this achievement without them, it's easier but still challenging/frustrating when you have this food item.
5) Max out your corruption, but don't exceed the resistance level.
6) Don't go into the quarter boss fights with 50 percent sanity. Eat a k'bab. Starting a fight with 387.5 sanity is probably okay

Flask aren't necessary, naturally it will be a bit easier if you use one though. I'd suggest a stamina flask instead of a dps flask as well for the simple fact you fail a horrific vision if your health drops to zero, and the k'bab's provide enough extra sanity to beat the time limit (which is your sanity).

Doing the above I complete 5 mask run every week since August 11th. Good luck I hope it helps.

Oh, one more thing also don't bother with the mail box's as you can get the mail muncher on a maskless run.

Comentario de catsniffer99

After taking a 9 month break from WoW, I came back to try my very first vision. It took me 2 weeks to get my cloak from level 1 to 15. Then it took me another 2 weeks before I was able to achieve this. I even collected all the chests/crystals and killed every mob with sanity to spare. Definitely the most fun and exciting achievement I have ever done. Luckily, I was able to squeeze this in right before the pre-patch, along with AoTC! (Side Note: Completed it as a 468 arms warrior. Used ghastly goulash, a fortitude scroll, and a stamina flask to keep myself alive since arms doesn't really have any good healing spells.)

Comentario de lizard2907

Mad World is no longer available after pre-patch.

Comentario de LunarD3ATH

Ugh, I tried this on my mage to see if it could be done, since he was the only one ready to do it, only to realize it's not available anymore because of the pre-patch.

Could they just... stop removing things? I don't care about the goals, I just wanted the title. There are so few in the game to begin with, it's why "the Patient" is the most popular one. Because any idiot can get it and they won't have a whole lot of better options.

But mounts, transmogs, titles, everything goes away at some point. If they're going to take the "living, breathing world" concept of MMOs so seriously, they need to provide more content to make it feel that way POSITIVELY too. Not just taking out content to make it feel like you're doomed to miss out on all the cool stuff because you're either not skilled enough or not quick enough or not enough of a no-life that you can spend all the time you'd like on limited-time content.

Literally the easiest way to handle this is to just scale players down to a specific level when trying for achievements, same with the mage tower stuff. It wouldn't deal with the difficulty curve, not at all, but at least it would mean everyone could try for it whenever they want.

But no, removing content is a great way to keep a dying MMO alive. Make those few people still playing feel special for having three little words after their name instead of encouraging more people to continue playing and ironing out old content for fun rewards. It's like they have no idea what most players do in this game: hunt transmog, pets, titles and just generally target older content they can more easily do. They're utterly blind.
