I love to do instances and I have noticed a lot of people starting to do heroic instances. What exactly do I have to do in order to get keyed to do the heroic instances?
Heroic instances bring back a little more challenge and drop better loot. It’s a great way to enjoy your favorite instances at a higher difficulty. Anyway, all together there are 6 Heroic keys you will need to get.
In order to get the keys you will have to be Revered with each of these places:
Thrallmar (Horde Only)
Honor Hold (Alliance Only)
Cenarion Expedition
Lower City
Sha’tar
Keepers of Time
That in itself can take some time to do and isn’t always the easiest. The good part is you only have to get keyed for the certain heroic instances you want to run. If you are looking to do the Hellfire Citadel heroic instance then you just need to focus on Thrallmar rep or Honor Hold rep.

Ok, that should be it. It is a lot of work if you want to be Revered with all of them. Just start finding groups and doing all the quests you can for each of these because that’s how you will be getting to Revered. Get to work!
