Reward from the quest series beginning with Gatekeepers of Auchindoun given by Defender Kaluum/Defender Kaluum himself @ (57,51) in Auchenai Precipice (Talador).

Commento di PWOMatrix

Does her level 3 ability work by selecting a player? Or is it random? Thank you!

Commento di Phyrexias

Okay SERIOUSLY this draenei gal is awesome as a bodyguard with the lvl 2 barracks.

You can take her with you out into Draenor and she does enough damage to solo 2-3 same level mobs at once BY HERSELF, spams taunt while doing a ton of threat with righteous fury up to keep stuff of of you, and as soon as she drops out of combat she will drink a potion and instantly restore all of her missing hp.

Haven't even got any of her extra abilities unlocked yet, we're just rolling around wrecking stuff together. XD

Really love the new follower system, especially the ones with the bodyguard trait.

Commento di Metodi

Best follower ever... and named after my wife. She will be my permanent bodyguard!

Commento di Plumseh

Defender Illona is a fantastic bodyguard to have around. The only downside is that sometimes her Hammer of the Righteous hits Horde players and she doesn't stop chasing them for a very long time... or until she gets killed.

You recruit Defender Illona by going to her at 57.4, 51.2 in Talador and completing her quest to defeat two mobs. You don't need to have completed any previous quests to be eligible to get her quests.

By default she comes with Reckoning when she is accompanying you outdoors, which she casts on every pull and every time it's off cooldown. She also has Righteous Fury on, so her Hammer of the Righteous spams hold aggro on swarms of mobs. She can also stand on her own quite well, she can easily solo 3 or 4 mobs her own level!

After you complete the first tier of reputation with her, she gains the ability Abilità di Illona - Guardiano dei Re Antichi, which further increases her survivability.

When you complete the second tier, she learns http://www.wowhead.com/spell=175893#see-also-other and gives you this quest: La Luce dell'Esodo, which sends you off to kill a Doomguard in Shattrath, Talador. Completing that quest grants her the ability http://www.wowhead.com/spell=174887#comments.

I've been with Illona since level 97 and she's made my life a tiny bit easier. Although there were a few moments where she was quite annoying and got me in PvP trouble, I'd still recommend her as a bodyguard, especially if you're a healer or have any off-healing abilities - you can easily solo group quests and mobs with her. The personal summon ability (which, unfortunately requires one more player to activate) is also a great perk!

So, what are you waiting for? Go out and get your own Illona today!

Commento di Yutto

Her stats at level 100:

166k HP
Around 2.7k DPS if left to her own devices in a 1v1 situation.
Seems to have quite a considerable amount of base armour.

Has the Giusta Furia ability active at all times and casts Martello del Virtuoso on cooldown.

Overall, capable of handling most Draenor mobs on her own, groups she will need a little help with. Rares though she does struggle a bit due to her AI scripts not having any self-healing.

Commento di Laeleiweyn

Defender Illona is truly an awsome follower/bodyguard! I would follow her if I could!

I just had a sad experience though... I was running around killing rares and picking up treasures together with Illona, when I recklessly decided to jump off a cliff (not unusual). Worried, as always, for my life and safety, she used Divine Intervention on me... Sacrificing herself, a proud paladin, for me, a lowly reckless monk. :'(

Rest in peace, dear Illona, and I'm so sorry. (See you when the debuff-hour is over.)

---

Defender Illona can be found in Talador (57.4, 51.2). She's wishing to join the defense of Auchindoun, but she needs help entering. After helping her she decides she wants to help us instead. There's references to her grandfather both in the quest text and in random things she's saying when she joins us as a bodyguard. I hope one day we find out who he is.

With item level 675 and rank Personal Wingman, she is wearing Relentless Gladiator's Redemption, Death Star, and Steelforged Aegis when she's walking around the garrison.

The mount she is riding when on bodyguard-duty is the Mottled Meadowstomper, which is dropped by Luk'hok in Nagrand.
Edit, with thanks to Axebeard: Her flying mount is a Fey Dragon, so I assume she attended the flying school at The Draakorium. Players can get a similar one for real life currency, the Enchanted Fey Dragon.

Commento di capitao

I noticed that at Wingman reputation level she gives you Healthstones and also casts Sacrificial Pact if you drop too low.

Commento di JasperKazai

Defender Illona is a great tank bodyguard to have. She can and will eventually die, but she has a lot of self-healing that can help. I haven't had much time spent with all the bodyguards yet, but she lasts a lot longer than Delvar Ironfist can. If you pull a bunch of high-damaging level 100s, though, don't expect her to live for long.

One thing that's annoying about her: after you leave combat, she has some kind of glowy effect that seems to fully heal her. When this effect goes off, her click-to-interact range temporarily becomes huge for a few seconds. This can make looting mobs really annoying, since you will click on her instead of the corpse unless you wait a beat.

Commento di Tirain

Defender Illona Acquisition:
You fill find Defender Illona on a circular plaza in Talador at (57.5, 51.2), just west of the northern tip of the island in the middle. You acquire Difensore Illona / Aeda Albaluce by completing Guardiani delle Porte di Auchindoun. The targets for this quest are in the same plaza as the questgiver.

Another, easy to collect, nearby follower:
After acquiring Defender Illona, just a few steps away is one more quest, after which you can acquire the Sollazzo-Bot 8000. Go east to the NW tip of the island in Talador, to (62.9, 50.4), and complete Libera! by killing nearby eels. After the turn in wait a few seconds (30-60) and the Pleasure-Bot 8000 will come to life and give you a quest to take it on as your follower.

Coords: The closest flightpath is Terokkar Refuge on the small island in the middle.

Commento di berbo

At ilvl 650 she gets T17 paladin set when accompaning you.

Commento di cucmw5

I got Illona up to Rank 2/3 reputation a few days ago, and she learned another combat ability:

Guardian of the Ancient Kings, which she seems to summon when she's taking bigger hits from elite enemies. Being a spriest, I've been able to shield/offheal her some during prolonged Nagrand Rare Elite fights, and she helps herself well.

About halfway to 3/3 to see what her last ability is.

Commento di Azshira88

I'd like to clarify for people of the Defender Iilona ability for the level 3 perk of teleportation.

It acts EXACTLY like a lock portal. You ummon the stone with your follower by clicking a spell white/faded portal. Doing this summons the stone and lasts for approx 5mins. Once done ANYONE in your party/raid to use it summon people like a lock portal while the stone is active. So basically, you need to have another person there to summon others.

Hope this helps!

Commento di Kaillin

If you'd like to farm easy rep quickly for your bodyguard try the podling creatures in Gloomshade Grove located close to your garrison in SMV. As a DK I hit them with howling blast once and the initial damage + DoT finish them easily, I just continue running around spamming Howling blast on the podling packs and never run out of podlings to kill and quickly gain rep. It seems to be an effective and easy method to quickly maximizing follower rep.

Commento di Duflax

People might also like to know that each time a body guard's level (reputation with you) goes up, their armor changes. Illona's rank 3 looks amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to get that set on my paladin.

Commento di 960351

All the bodyguards are terrible and have no intelligent AI, they stand in everything and just fight to the death, This one will chain taunt mobs that kill her in two shots, They need to be controllable. She is hopeless, but no other bodyguard is any better.

Commento di Rhacius

At level 3 her gear changes look, and she loses her weapon and shield making her fight with her fists!

Commento di 76929

I got her today and she was automatically upgraded to epic purple. I not sure how that happened, perhaps it's a random upgrade.

Proof(##RESPBREAK##)524##DELIM##thaia##DELIM##Fixed link :)

Commento di Mormolyce

She's a fantastic bodyguard, however... don't take her trapping if you don't have a taunt and have trouble positioning your trap. She taunts which... can be problematic.

Commento di Ecrazion

Am I the only one who wonders why at Personal Wingman or loyalty 3 Illona doesn't have any weapons? Is this a bug or intended for her to just scratch everything to death? I was hoping they would update her hammer and shield or possibly give us the choice with transmoging weapon/shields on bodyguard followers

Commento di Glandur

Tired of getting the chat box when you accidentally click the bodyguard ?
I made an addon called Bodyguard Away which disables that very chat box.
Press CTRL to get the chat box anyway, in case you need to send them home/interact with them.

Commento di Starbuxx

Would someone please care to share where she is in your garrison.. >? i love all the xtra info but some of us just want to know where she is ,since we cant find her inside our garrison but she shows up on my follower list..

thanks

Commento di wowogamer

After each fight, she will usually heal herself back up to full health. But when you are doing mounted fights – as will often happen in Nagrand if you choose the Telaari Talbuk-Outpost solution – she will usually NOT heal herself back up after the fights. If you fight many mounted fights close to each other, it will eventually end up in her dying. Therefore, if you struggle with her not healing back up to full health after mounted fights, simply dismount and complete a simple fight and she should now heal herself back up to full health.

Beside that: If you are playing a stealth class she will stealth when you do. But then again: Stealthing while mounted on the Telaari Talbuk in Nagrand will for some reason not let her go into stealth.

Commento di Draewind

Defender Illona
comes as a Rare follower with:
Regolamento di Conti to counter Wild Aggression

I believe they all gain the same second ability when they upgrade to Epic (Prot. Paladin). I will soon know.

Penitenza, to counter Deadly Minions, was the second ability mine gained when turning epic.

...

Commento di Valdan

Guild Banner does NOT increase reputation gains with this follower. However she DOES get the buff oddly enough.

Commento di 1391603

Clearly I'm in the minority here... but this chic is an idiot... It's one thing that she's constantly pulling & aggro'ing... I can live with that... but does she really have to stand in the fire until she dies?... There really should be some way for us to force the bodyguard to disengage.

Commento di churippu

She wears Relentless Gladiator's Vindication at first and after completing her last quest (La Luce dell'Esodo) a recolour version of Tenuta Feroce della Luce Guida; using a Spezzacieli as weapon and probaly something like Scudo Difesa di Forgiacciaio as offhand.
Last but not least a Calcaradure Chiazzato as mount.

Got her with epic mount.Because of that I only use her for missions.I rarely use her as bodyguard even tho she's awesome.Epic mount is way to good not to use.

Commento di 1428058

*** IMPORTANT NOTE IF YOU ARE GETTING HER FOR THE PERK Bonus di Illona - Luce Guida ***

This summoning ritual perk does not allow you to summon people by yourself, as it seems to suggest. It will create a summoning stone that still requires a 2nd player to click in order to actually summon anyone. I was so disappointed after I spent all the time grinding her rep to find this out, so just a heads up to anyone with the same intentions.

Commento di 1253394

Defender Illona is an awesome follower that I would recommend to anyone that plays a class with off-healing mechanics, like Feral Druids, Enhancement Shamans, or Retribution Paladins. Especially the latter since Hand of Sacrifice can REALLY come in handy sometimes.

She is a pretty remarkable tank, as at level 100 I have easily been able to solo the Steamwheedle Preservation Society rare elites with her help. She can take a beating, and constantly having Righteous Fury active makes her VERY good at keeping threat on herself.

However, if you cannot off-heal or provide any real support, she -- like any tank in a stressful situation without a healer -- will crumble. It can be surprising sometimes how easily she can get into danger against large clusters of enemies, and she needs some healing to stay alive.

Regardless, she is hands-down my favorite bodyguard. :)

Edit: With my off-healing at ilvl 658, it took three Ironhide Bulls and three Ironhide Clefthooves to finally take her down. Seriously, she is astoundingly good.

Commento di 746315

Only Protection Paladin followers, like Defender Illona, can counter Magic Debuff/Massive Strike.

Commento di 1373777

Great tank.

Commento di violetta

worst bodyguard I've tried so far on Gladiator Warrior. not only does she constantly aoe taunt, even if I switch to defensive stance, she only ever heals herself outside of combat, meaning that any large pull practically guarantees her death, making for a very, very slow rep grind

Commento di Hakunamatata

I can't stress enough how important it is to get her as a bodyguard WHILE leveling. She's an extreme nuisance to gain reputation with on L100 mobs as she'll keep taunting them all so you won't be able to quickly get "exalted" with her unless you farm low levels.

If you get her while leveling, though, you, more often than not, won't be pulling 10+ mobs at a time, so she'll get reputation in no time!

Commento di bazzyl

I have decided to do inside test of all my Garrison Followers how much DPS they can pull against Training Dummies.

I did this to find out which Follower is the best to take on a patrol during Garrison Invasion content.
Each test took 1 minute.
I'm not testing bodyguards here.

After few hours of "training" it turnd out that the winner is… Leeroy!
He does some sick dps (also aoe) and even sicker healing. That makes him King of Garrison Invasion companion.
Tho Aeda Brightdawn does more dps, she doesnt heal and she tends to die during invasion.

Honorable mentions are:
1. Aeda Brightdawn - for best dps.
2. Harrison Jones - for most bizzare style.
3. Choluna - good single target dps.
4. Garona Halforcen - good single target dps.
5. Talonpriest Ishaal - good aoe.

Below You can see test results for all my active Followers.

Commento di NickMitin

The saddest thing about Illona is that other players see Sha'tari Defender instead of Illona when she is my bodyguard.

Commento di Delaios

She's a great follower to have while leveling, but she's very squishy once at level cap. I'd love to be able to disable her taunts so I can grind rep with her by doing Apexis dailies. Even with a pet taunting and constant Misdirects to my pet, you can't prevent enemies from hitting her. A single elite can kill her in seconds if she's not healed.

Commento di Ahjen

Illona is rather a small NPC compared to,say, Tormmok. In order to compensate for this, Blizzard made it so that, after a battle is complete, Illona drinks a potion, causing her hitbox to expand by several factors, ensuring that she will always be between your mouse cursor and the bodies of your vanquished foes.

If you can manage to wait until her drinking animation is over, you may be lucky enough to avoid clicking on her. As long as she hasn't finished her potion and decided to run in front of your cursor at that time.

Blizzard, realizing in their infinite wisdom that it's kind of lame to have a bodyguard who's hit box is only huge at the exact time you want to loot the broken corpses of your enemies, gave her a special "elekk mount", which is she is sure to park between your mouse cursor and nuisance obstacles such as vendors, garrison caches, mining and herbalism nodes, mission tables, and the ever-troublesome mailbox.

From Fort Wrynn, travel to Terokkar Refuge in Talador. Travel west, across the water, to coords 62, 57, and follow the paved path to the north. Continue onward and up the stairs, on your left, at coords 59.3, 52.5.

Accept the quest, Guardiani delle Porte di Auchindoun, from Difensore Illona at coords 57.4, 51.1.

1. Guardiani delle Porte di Auchindoun - Click on Vendicatore Dalu at coords 57.4, 52.7, and select "Very well. Let us fight." Also click on Vincolatrice d'Anime Halaari and select "So be it."
• You must then defeat both Vendicatore Dalu and Vincolatrice d'Anime Halaari in combat.
• After their defeat, turn the quest in to Difensore Illona at 57.4, 51.1.
• This will give you Difensore Illona / Aeda Albaluce as a new follower, and a Guardia del Corpo if you have a Level 2 Caserma Livello 2.

Commento di Tontons

As a bodyguard she is incredibly annoying. Taunting all the time and trying to tank everything... Does anyone know how to tell her "Let me tank!"?

She doesn't let me group up the mobs. And she dies aswell. It's ridiculous, taunting all the saberstalkers while unable to tank them and dying...

Commento di Buffeninc

I made a quick video showing you how to get Defender Illona as a Garrison Follower - no bull!@#$, just the info you need to get her.

She is really one of my favorite followers as she ensures your survive-ability when doing dailies etc. as a priest by tanking.

There is an Olympic fencing champion named Ilona Elek who won gold at the 1936 Berlin Games and again in London in 1948. A crazy coincidence or more likely a subtle tribute?

Commento di Sinoevil

I went back to Horde. I miss Illona so much. I put on a brave smile for Aeda, but she's just tragic.

Commento di DarklingThrush

Ironically, as much as I like her, she is not working out to be very compatible as bodyguard for my blood DK. She keeps trying to tank everything I pull, and I like to ride around on my mount pulling as much as possible at one time. She dies more than any of my other bodyguards, even the squishy spellcasters (who let me do the tanking). She keeps saying, whenever I click on her, "I am listening." But she never listens when I tell her to go ret!

Commento di DarklingThrush

I tried paying the 1,000 garrison resources to retrain her out of Reckoning, figuring she would be useful again if she would stop pulling agro and dying. The retraining did result in her losing Reckoning - she got Cleanse and Rebuke instead - but she still taunts as bodyguard! And still dies with every mini-boss in Tanaan. <sigh>

Commento di 292372

Got the highest rep with Leorajh, decided to work on Guardie del corpo, so I swapped followers to Difensore Illona / Aeda Albaluce. Was clearing up my garrison chores so we could go adventuring. Last chore was to kill Aracnis. Noticed Difensore Illona / Aeda Albaluce was taking a lot of damage, so I was healing her more than doing anything to Aracnis. Realized the training dummy was hitting her, so I used Balzo della Fede to move her away from them. Aracnis died, and while I was looting, Difensore Illona / Aeda Albaluce felt the need to go back to the training dummies, and died a swift death.

I'm quite concerned about taking her out adventuring after Illona Sconfitta is over.

Commento di irishlord

Once she is a personal wingman you can summon. yes no new news with that BUT if you want to pull mobs and not have her join in you can make her start the summoning and she says there for a long time.

Commento di sanesyco

TO get this follower (or ANY bodyguard) rep to wingman in 20 minutes per bodyguard do the following.

1. While in Gorgrond pick up the quest you get from Cutter in Moria's Bastion (around 47. 93.) called Iyu.
2.DO NOT COMPLETE the quest!
3. As you are walking out of the cave tons of iyun pustules will spawn they have 8090hp
4. KILL KILL KILL the little guys.
5.Once rep is bodyguard abandon the quest to pick pick back up for your next bodyguard.
6.Enjoy

Note:If you have completed all 4 chapters in Gorgrond this will not work. You must be able to pick up the quest.
Takes about 20 minutes per bodyguard.
If they stop spawning just abandon the quest and go back down and pick it back up.

Alliance with a level 3 garrison can earn very fast reputation when using the Hallow's End decoration Striscianti Inquietanti
Two battle pets spawn very close together between the training dummies and the mine entrance, with a third only 15-20 yds away, and they respawn instantly.

~51k/hour for AoEing just the two behind the training dummies
~71k/hour if you include killing the third pet 15-20 yds away
