wow 180 Item Level Sorrowbane Is Up for the EU + Many Tips

[Starym 3,800]

 

The Sorrowbane sword is back, with its 180 item level and unique (and relatively often-proccing) effect, or rather the World Quest that enables it, as A Few Bumps Along the Way is up in the EU for another 16+ hours! Last time it was up for EU the NA version followed within a day, so keep an eye out.
Here are all the tips we've gathered so far for an easier completion:

Most important tips:

• New tip, courtesy of WonderWez: use a Goblin Glider once you hit the top of the stairs in Theater of Pain at the very end with all the buffs!
• Check the crowd levels before doing the WQ.
• If there's too many people in the spot, try turning War Mode on, it should thin it out (but you'll be vulnerable to others interrupting you).
• Be in a raid when you do the WQ, get 3 stacks from 3 ballistas, so you only need 3 mushrooms. If you fail you can re-try, just relog to get the ballista objectives back.
• Check your Hearthstone cooldown is up before getting mushrooms. In case you don't have your CD and don't want to wait, you can buy a teleport scroll from One-eyed Joby in Maldraxxus at 53.2, 41.2.
• Be polite and wait your turn! There's no point in taking other people's spawns if they were there before you, that way no one gets it.
• The sword itself is very close to the bottom of the entrance stairs to the Theater, at the bottom. Get HandyNotes: Shadowlands for the exact location or check out the video (and even just the thumbnail) below.

The basic procedure:

• Buy 1 Strength of Blood from Ta'tru at 51, 79 in Revendreth. The potion costs 30 crafting reagents that you must either collect or buy on the Auction House. Do note that the items required to purchase the potion change regularly.
• Buy 1 Potion of Unusual Strength from Au'larrynar at 54, 48 in Maldraxxus.
• Bind your Hearthstone to the Theater of Pain at 51, 30 in Maldraxxus.
• Wait for the A Few Bumps Along the Way World Quest and complete it at 41, 50 in Maldraxxus to receive 2 or 3 stacks of Battle Hardened (but optimally be in a raid and get 3 stacks and keep the WQ up for later use if you don't make it).
• Collect 3 or 4 stacks of mushroom buffs (Edible Redcap), depending on whether you have 3 or 2 stacks of Battle Hardened, at around 77, 57 in Maldraxxus.
• Hearth back to the Theater of Pain.
• Use Strength of Blood and Potion of Unusual Strength to pull out the sword at 51, 49 in Maldraxxus.
• Now, you will receive Sorrowbane and the Oonar's Arm pet.

a little advise for new ppl doing this, turn WM off and have a friend on the mushromm area so he can call out if it's crowed or not OR have WM on and have a friend kill everyone on that area, the mushrooms take like 1-2 min to spawn so if there are ppl looking for it you might miss them and lose the WQ buff (sorry if my english is bad)

I'm sorry - I keep seeing articles where this is up in the EU (earlier in launch as well)... has it been/when will it be up in NA? I haven't seen anything posted stating it's ever been up for the Americas.
