📜 Guide

  1. Congratulations on reaching level 60!
  2. Purchase your epic mount for 1080 gold (base cost is 80 gold for training, 1000 gold for mount). Cheaper alternatives include earning Exalted Reputation with the Frostwolf Clan in Alterac Valley for an 800 gold Frostwolf Howler mount, earning PvP rank 3 for a 10% discount combined with another 10% discount from earning Honored reputation with the mount's faction, and earning PvP rank 11 (difficult) for a 100 gold mount.
  3. Purchase your level 60 skills.
  4. Run the highest-level dungeons for rare gear and pieces of the dungeon class armor sets.
  5. Enjoy PvP at level 60 and fight your way up the ranks for prestigous honor rewards.
  6. Find a guild and starting raiding! Zul'Gurub, The Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, and Blackwing Lair are great places to start.
  7. Zul'Gurub is a 20-man raid and a good starting raid. It requires no attunement and drops very useful rares and epics for all classes.
  8. Molten Core drops the purple (epic) Tier 1 raid set for each class. Attunement was covered at level 55 with Attunement to the Core.
  9. Blackwing Lair drops the purple (epic) Tier 2 raid set for each class. Attunement was covered at level 59 with Blackhand's Command.
  10. Onyxia's Lair drops the Tier 2 helmet for each class, as well as the 18-slot bag, and other useful epics. The attunement beyond For the Horde! is very long (about 10 more quests) and requires help later on with the elite Test of Skulls quests. Please search for a guide.
  11. Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj is a 20-man raid that requires no attunement aside from the server-wide Ahn'Qiraj War Effort event to open the raid. Most servers have completed this long ago. The raid drops Class Ability Books, that upgrade three class abilities for every class, as well as some useful purple (epic) loot.
  12. Temple of Ahn'Qiraj is a 40-man raid that drops the Tier 2.5 sets for each class. There is no attunement required aside from the server-wide Ahn'Qiraj War Effort to open the raid.
  13. Naxxramas is the final 40-man raid that drops the Tier 3 sets for each class. It requires a minimum of Honored reputation with the Argent Dawn to access the quest The Dread Citadel - Naxxramas which has you pay for access depending on your reputation level. Free for Exalted, 30g, 2x Arcane Crystal, 1x Nexus Crystal for Revered, and 60g, 5x Arcane Crystal, 2x Nexus Crystal, 1x Righteous Orb for Honored. Now is the time to hand in those Scourgestones.
