Molten Core loot

Molten Core was the first raid instance introduced (along with Onyxia's Lair). All of Tier 1 and the Tier 2 leggings are found in this instance.

Ragnaros, along with General Drakkisath, is the only end-boss of a pre-Burning Crusade raid instance that does not drop a quest-starting item as a reward for killing him.

Trash Loot
All trash mobs in the instance have a chance of dropping BoE Tier 1 belts and bracers.

Boss Loot
Bosses in Molten Core are split in to 3 groups for loot distribution purposes: Bosses in the first two groups drop 1 or 2 pieces of Tier 1 and draw from the Shared Loot table for the group they belong to. Ragnaros drops Tier 2 legs, along with Onyxia and the Blackwing Lair bosses. Lucifron, Gehennas, and Shazzrah each drop one of 6 possible Tier 1 Feet/Hands pieces. The set pieces are listed in two lines of feet and hands drops, respectively. For the, Garr drops the right half, and Baron Geddon drops the left half.
 * Flamewalkers (Lucifron, Gehennas, Shazzrah, Sulfuron Harbinger)
 * Non-Flamewalkers (Magmadar, Garr, Baron Geddon, Golemagg the Incinerator)
 * End-Bosses (Majordomo Executus and Ragnaros)

Bosses in this table appear in the above order.
