Lira Jenkins is a virtual character from the game World of Warcraf

Many of the "best" players in World of Warcraft are well aware of the achievement of "Liiiiiiirooooooi!". But very few people know why it suddenly in Blizzard decided to add such a program and who is Lira Jenkins. The story is so interesting that it should be known to everyone who loves the WoW universe, Azeroth and the like. It all began in 2005. However, before moving on to the history of this achievement, let us recall what it is given for.

The most interesting is that the author of Lira managed to create a mega successful Internet meme without any complicated manipulations. It was enough just to successfully "nakosyachit" in the institute. And here's your popularity. Strange even somehow. That's what it means to be in the right place at the right time. However, we are distracted. Let's continue.

How to get an achievement

Achievement "Liiiiiiirooooooi!" Is given to the player on the passage of the insta titled "The Peak of the Black Mountain". However, it is not given to everyone. To gain achievement, you must try to kill fifty dragons from the Vigil. The nest is part of the inst. The difficulty is that these very dragons are very numerous, and it is likely that they will imprison you much faster than you do them. But this is if you go to the insts at the same level that it is designed for. And if before that take 5-10 levels from above, then you already have nothing to threaten.

The very achievement appeared for the first time in the add-on "Leach King". Continuation received in the supplement "Cataclysm". But the "Secrets of the Pandaria" somehow manage without him. In the "Draenor" achievement was returned. True, in a slightly modified form and with new "buns." But more about this in more detail below. In the meantime, let us return to history.

Together with the achievement, the character gets the title "Jenkins". The title can be included in the character menu. To understand the whole essence of achievements and the title of Jenkins, you need to know the history of the emergence of this achivka. So who is Lira Jenkins? Its history begins in 2005. That's how it all began.

History of Lyroe

Once upon a time there was one guy named Ben Schultz. Lived did not grieve, played in World of Warcraft for the paladin under the name of Lira Jenkins. All would be nothing, but somehow his guild gathered in an instrument called "Black Mountain Peak". All the bosses and mobs, they passed with a bang. Which is not surprising, because there were only paladins in the guild. Before the entrance to the Nest, the warriors gathered for a meeting. The strategy of the battle was discussed, since it was very difficult to get into the Nest and not "squint".

During a tactical meeting, our brave Ben went out to fry a chicken. He was absent all the time, while his comrades conferred. But soon he returned. And he did not think of anything better than with the cry of "Liiiiiiroooooi Dzeeeeenkiiiins!" To break into the Vigil. It's unclear why everyone rushed after him. Here to you and "Warcraft". Lira Jenkins, as an experienced warrior, guessed to cast the Divine Shield spell on himself, which made him unresponsive to any kind of damage. However, the level of Jenkins's threat also dropped, causing the cute dragons to tear all his companions apart. And when the "Divine Shield" was dispersed, they began for Lyroe himself.

Needless to say, that for this nice prank Lira Jenkins was expelled from the guild, and after that no one to go with him in the instincts did not want to. However, a guy named Ben Schulz became popular in the World of Warcraft. How did this happen? This is the great mystery of history. Probably, we will never understand what logic guided people who turned the raid failure into an instinct into a heroic feat. Well, okay. Let's return to our topic.

Why is it popular?

The fact is that this raid in the "Black Mountain Peak" was recorded on video. The video, of course, was posted on YouTube and scored a monstrous number of views. Probably everyone was impressed by Ben Schultz's scream. And the fact that he failed his comrades (by the way, not for the first time) is not terrible. As a result, the video became so popular that one day Ben woke up famous.

The glory of Ben reached its climax when Blizzard decided to name the achievement by the name of his character. So the title "Jenkins" and the "Liiiiiirooooooi!" Appeared. Now Ben Schultz is a famous person. He is invited to all gaming festivals and tells there about the tactics and strategy of his success. The most interesting thing is that he is listened attentively. In general, Ben became the "father" of the most successful Internet meme among gamers.

The popularity of Lyre is so high that the phrase "Lira Jenkins" uses the characters of many cartoons and games.

The further fate of Lyre

Achievement of "Liiiiiirooooooi!" Can be obtained in the add-on Cataclysm. In all subsequent editions, the achievement is transferred to the category of "Heritage". That is, you can not get it. And only in the add-on Warlords of Draenor achievement was returned to "WoW." Lira Jenkins is a companion now. Together with the achievement you get into the load of a psychotic eccentric who everywhere runs after you and climbs up where you do not need.

The most interesting thing is that in the addon about Pandaria there is neither Lyrae nor achievements. Probably, the game developers considered it a blatant anachronism and deprived the Pandu of such uninteresting achievement. Now it remains only with horror to wait for the addition of the "Legion" and to guess what metamorphosis will occur with the unhappy Lyro in the new part. In the meantime, consider Jenkins's associate of the Supplement "Draenor."

Companion

So, now our companion is Lira Jenkins. "Vovhed" reports that this character is a paladin of the 100th level. It was created specifically to neutralize the threat of the crowd (we recall the story of Lyroe). His main ability is the Divine Storm. This is a spell that hits all targets around. It restores the paladin a certain amount of health and mana. Very good helper in some situations.

Other abilities of this character are not yet reported. And to see them live is not yet possible due to the fact that a small number of players have so far been able to take this achievement. But I think that this paladin has trump cards in his sleeve, if he were not Lira Jenkins. "WoW" would not be so popular game without all sorts of surprises and "Easter eggs". And this is his charm.

How to get such a colleague?

To get into his garrison Lyroya is a rather complicated matter. It is only for players with the highest level. For this you need to pass the "Black Mountain Peak" instinct in the heroic mode. According to the assignment, you must help Jenkins find the shoulderplates of piety. After completing this quest, you will receive the title "Jenkins" and Lyroe himself for hire in the garrison.

It is useful to take lyrou to inst. It can distract the attention of a large number of mobs. And you at this time can easily cut them into cabbage, not being afraid that they suddenly switch to you. Agrite Lira as it should be. Although the real Jenkins could not.

Conclusion

Now we know who Lira Jenkins is, what he is known for and why it is so popular. Here is an example of how unbalanced behavior in a game can make a person popular. The main thing is not to repeat Lyre's mistakes and not let his comrades down. For you are not Lira, and if you repeat his feat, no one will praise you for it. In any case, it is useful to know the origin of some achievements and ranks in "VoB".
