Upper Blackrock Spire is the raid area of the Spire, which is only accessible after someone in the raid obtains a Seal of Ascension or someone with it stands between the flameless braziers flanking the doorway at the end of the hall.

Prior to patch 1.10 the instance had a 15 player cap, but it now has a 10 player cap. The lower part of it, Lower Blackrock Spire, can be done with only 5, though the ten man limit is also placed on it. It is advised that a full raid of 10 attempt the upper portion of Blackrock Spire.

Group

A group to successfully raid UBRS does not have to consist of full 10 members. If you are trying to build a 10 man group, keep following in mind:

1. Have somebody with the seal (key) with you
2. Less than 10 people is a challenge - make sure everybody is well equipped.

This instance is easiest when it is built upon the idea of a double group: 2 groups of 5. The best balanced groups come with one of each class, and another healer. A suggest group would be:

• 2 or more Healers (at least 1 priest, if possible Shaman/Paladin and Druid also, to get all existing buffs),
• 2 or more tanks (no excuse for having less),
• 2 AOES (mages/warlocks),
• 2 DD (Rogues, more Mages, Hunters, etc...).
