Onyxia Attunement for Alliance and Horde
The Alliance and the Horde have different attunement chains for Onyxia's Lair. All 40 raid members must complete their own quest chains to obtain a personal amulet for entry. This amulet works from your character’s bag with no need to equip it. Your character keeps their necklace around their neck.
The Alliance’s path to the amulet begins in the Burning Steppes. Horde players pick up the first quest from Warlord Goretooth in Kargath (Badlands). Each faction completes its main stages from there:
- Alliance - Helendis Riverhorn gives the first quest Dragonkin Menace.
- Alliance - six quests called The True Masters lead the character to BRD.
- Alliance - the player then completes the quest The Great Masquerade in Stormwind.
- Horde - the quest Warlord's Command sends the player to LBRS.
- Horde - the player hunts Warchief Rend Blackhand and heads to Rexxar.
- Horde - the journey continues with Myranda the Hag and Emberstrife.
The Alliance receives the quest The Dragon's Eye from Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. Horde players meanwhile complete the four The Test of Skulls quests from Emberstrife. Both chains lead to General Drakkisath in UBRS. This boss drops the Blood of the Black Dragon Champion, which grants your character an amulet on the final quest in the chain.
Blizzard recommends inviting friends to help with the elite quests in these chains. Our team completes all these quests on your character in a single order, along with runs through BRD, LBRS, and UBRS. You won’t have to look for a group for every step of the chain.
WoW Forever Pre Raid BiS by Spec
BiS gear for your class and spec comes from level 55–60 dungeons, crafting, and world epics. The bosses in these dungeons give unique loot of Rare quality and higher. So every run in World of Warcraft Forever gives Rare items to your character.
Dungeon Set 1 (Tier 0) helmets drop from Darkmaster Gandling in Scholomance. General Drakkisath in UBRS gives the chest pieces from the same set. Crafting adds BoE items like the Lionheart Helm to the mix. Your character will fill their head and chest slots even before the first raid. We recommend self-play with our group instead of a pilot for those who want to see every drop.
Fire Resistance Gear and Dungeon Keys
Blizzard recommends building up fire resistance before you enter Onyxia's Lair. The fight against Onyxia consists of three phases with powerful fire attacks. FR gear reduces the damage these attacks deal to your character. Thorium Brotherhood recipes give some of this gear. Blacksmiths can craft one of them (the Fiery Chain Girdle), which provides +24 FR.
Raid-Ready Bundle also gives three dungeon keys:
- Shadowforge Key for BRD
- Crescent Key for Dire Maul
- Skeleton Key for Scholomance
Dark Iron Legacy in BRD rewards the Shadowforge Key. The Key to Scholomance chain culminates in the Skeleton Key. A third key (Crescent Key) drops from Pusillin in Dire Maul. All three stay with your character after the order. This allows you to farm BRD, Dire Maul, and Scholomance at level 60.
