Glory of the Ulduar Raider is the legacy Wrath of the Lich King meta-achievement for Ulduar, the titan city carved into The Storm Peaks in Northrend. The 25-player version mails you the Reins of the Ironbound Proto-Drake with a letter from Brann Bronzebeard; the 10-player version pays the Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake instead. This is not a current-tier meta - Glory of the Midnight Raider is sold separately on timesaver.gg.
What the meta actually asks for: 13 achievements, one per boss, covering 13 of Ulduar's 14 encounters with Algalon the Observer left out. The list includes Orbit-uary (Flame Leviathan killed with all 4 Orbital Defense Systems active), Stokin' the Furnace (Ignis dead inside 4 minutes), Iron Dwarf, Medium Rare (25 Dark Rune Guardians burned down by Razorscale's Flame Breath), Disarmed (both of Kologarn's arms and Kologarn himself inside 12 seconds), Crazy Cat Lady (Auriaya with her Sanctum Sentries untouched), Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood (Freya with all 3 Elders alive), Firefighter (Mimiron after his Self-Destruct is armed) and One Light in the Darkness (Yogg-Saron with one Keeper or none).
Why it is slow even though it is easy: Ulduar is fully soloable at the level 90 Midnight cap, so the fights are not the obstacle. The lockout is. Ulduar runs on a weekly raid lockout that resets Tuesday on US realms and Wednesday on EU, every hard mode has to be armed before the boss dies, and modern damage overshoots those triggers constantly. One mistimed kill locks that criterion out until the next reset, which is why a clean meta normally spans 1 to 3 lockouts rather than one afternoon.
The mount: Reins of the Ironbound Proto-Drake is an epic flying mount that has needed only level 27 and Apprentice Riding since patch 9.0.2. Once it is learned it sits in your account-wide Mount Journal and every character on the account can use it, regardless of faction, race or class.
Booking: 2 hours at $26.99, 4 at $53.99, 6 at $80.99 or 10 at $134.99. A full meta often runs past a single 10-hour block, so longer campaigns are booked as repeat blocks at the same hourly rate. US is the default region and EU has its own ladder. Piloted is standard, Self-play Remote adds 30%, Express adds 20% and Super Express adds 40%.
