Sidereal Essence is a new currency in World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King Classic and it’s tied to Titan Rune dungeons.
This new currency can be traded into a vendor at Animated Constellations in the Silver Enclave and Sunreaver’s Sanctuary in Dalaran in exchange for Ulduar Hardmode gear, which is notoriously difficult to obtain.
But while that might be the case, there are a couple of things on every WoW player’s mind: How do you actually get Sidereal Essences, how easy is it to do, and how many of them will you be able to farm in total each day?
What is Sidereal Essence in WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic?
WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic Phase Three will introduce a new Titan Rune mode called Titan Rune Beta. It’s technically a revamped Heroic Plus Mode mode that can be activated the same way as Titan Runes in Phase Two—by interacting with the Mysterious Titanic Relics next to each dungeon. Every time you defeat the final boss in any one of the dungeons in the new Titan Rune Beta mode, you’ll receive one Sidereal Essence which can later be exchanged for Ulduar 10-man Hardmode gear.
How to get Sidereal Essence in WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Naturally, the best way to farm Sidereal Essence is by spamming the dungeons over and over until you’ve acquired enough to exchange them for every piece of Ulduar hard mode gear. There will be 13 dungeons in total, meaning 13 Sidereal Essences can be collected per day. Once you activate Titan Rune dungeons, it’s guaranteed that the last boss of the dungeon will drop one Sidereal Essence—you just need to have RNG on your side.
The easiest ones to spam in my experience have been Gundrak, Halls of Lightning, The Culling of Stratholme, The Oculus, The Old Kingdom, Utgarde Pinnacle, and Violet Hold. You should be able to clear two per hour with a switched-on group, but it could take a bit longer depending on how things pan out.
As always, it will be a bit of a grind, but it’s worth it for the loot.
