1 You get Tempered Dark Iron Boots by turning in
Dark Iron Boots, 25
Firelands Ember, and 2
Lava Core at Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths.
Dark Iron Boots is crafted with Blacksmithing and requires materials from Molten Core.
Fire Resistance for Heat Level 2 and Heat Level 3
To raid the more difficult heat levels in Molten Core you need to hit Fire Resistance thresholds. For Heat Level 2 you need at least 96 Fire Resistance and for Heat Level 3 you need at least 226 Fire Resistance. To increase your Fire Resistance you can equip gear, utilize enchantments, use consumables, and use buffs or activate your Fire Resistance Aura.
Use the following sources to increase your Fire Resistance to the required threshold:
Fire Resistance Aura (does not stack with
Mark of the Wild)
Lesser Arcanum of Resilience (Head & Legs Enchants,
Libram of Resilience)
Blessed Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Exalted),
Flame Mantle of the Dawn (Argent Dawn – Revered)
Hydraxian Coronation (Hydraxian Waterlords – Honored)
Juju Ember (
Shardtooth E'ko at 61.8 38.2 in Winterspring)
Tribal War Feathers of Fire Resistance (Upper Blackrock Spire)
Fireproof Cloak (Molten Core)
Seal of the Archmagus (Molten Core)
Salamander Scale Pants (Molten Core)
Hyperthermically Insulated Lava Dredger (Molten Core)
Miniaturized Fire Extinguisher (Demon Fall Canyon)
Tidal Loop (
A Hero's Reward)
Drakefire Amulet (Blackrock Spire)
Water Treads (Hydraxian Waterlords – Honored)
Miniaturized Combustion Chamber (Gnomeregan)
Wildfire Cape (Upper Blackrock Spire)
Dragonslayer's Signet (
Head of Onyxia)
Using Fire Resistance items often results in a DPS loss in comparison to your BiS list. After you’ve acquired new raid items recalculate your Fire Resistance and re-optimize your gear loadout.
🔥 Since the boss Garr from Molten Core can dispel magic effects, you should make sure your Paladin is hitting the Fire Resistance threshold without
Mark of the Wild for that specific fight. This might require you to have some off-pieces for that boss fight.
