Introduction:

Blackrock Depths is to this day the biggest instance you can find in Azeroth, it is a huge zone, and this guide will help you to find your way in it. This zone has also the biggest amount of quests ever seen in an instance. So I will try to keep everything to the minimum in the walkthrough.

I highly recommend you read the quest gathering section carefully before anything, because many quests are linked to each other, many have pre-requisites, some start outside the instanced area even. Be aware that BRD (BlackRock Depths), has been designed for a solid 5-man group, and that it also has been designed to clear the instances a few times before you get to complete every quest (especially the most rewarding ones). You can be sure you will at the very least do 3 BRD runs before you have all the quests done. Anyways, when you will be feeling at home with this place, you will realize it is a goldmine, and you will probably want to go back to it a few more times. (You will have to one day or another anyways, because the portal to Molten Core is there :roll: )

Gathering the quests:

Horde & Alliance:

NOTE (Important): The quests marked in Orange are the ones you must have up (or already completed) before you enter the instance for the first time. Try doing the Disharmony of Flame (Horde) / Overmaster Pyron (Alliance) quest as soon as possible, so you can get access to all the Orange quests listed. If there is still a quest you can't access, don't worry, come back later after your first BRD run and check again, it should get unlocked at some point.

1. [60] Attunement to the Core (Elite) , given by Lothos Riftwaker, an elf outside the instance. You need to do this quest to be able to teleport easily into The Molten Core by jumping out of the window next to Lothos Riftwaker. A must do for when you are level 60.
2. [52]Dark Iron Legacy (Elite) , given by Franclorn Forgewright, outside the instance (see map). Franclorn is a ghost, so in order to talk to him, you must be in ghost form (die pls!). It's important that you get the quest from him before entering the instance, because it's the only way to get the Shadowforge key, which unlocks the doors to the interesting areas of BRD. Don't bother with any quest not marked in orange for now, and follow this guide blindly.
3. [53]Ribbly Screwspigot (Elite) , given by Yuka Screwspigot in Flame Crest, Burning Steppes.Pre-req for this quest is to complete the quest Yuka Screwspigot, given by Yorba Screwspigot in Tanaris.
4. [54]The Love Potion (Elite), given by Mistress Nagmara inside BRD, at the Grim Guzzler Tavern. This quest requires you to gather different components in different places of Azeroth. Completing it is worth it, besides the item reward, Mistress Nagmara has another function. When you have completed the Love Potion quest, on your next runs to BRD, she will open the backdoor of the Tavern for you if you talk to her. That way you won't need to kill Phalanx everytime you go through the Grim Guzzler.
5. [58]The Heart of the Mountain (Elite) , given by Maxwort Uberglint, at the Flame Crest, Burning Steppes. This quest's objective is to open every coffer in the BRD Vault. For that you need your group to have gathered 12 Vault Coffer Keys. They can drop from any Iron Dwarf in BRD.
6. [58]A Taste of Flame (Elite) , given by Cyrus Therepentous. Objective is to kill Bael'Gar in BRD (see map) and to capture his fiery essence with the help of an Altered Black Dragonflight Molt. How to get the Dragonflight Molt:
   A long serie of quests starting with Kalaran Windblade, in Searing Gorge, you can find him North of the area called 'The Cauldron' (loc 39,39). He will have you do a bunch of quests, starting with [48] The Flawless Flame, until you get to the point where you get the Torth of Retribution, and then he will send you to Squire Maltrake. Squire Maltrake will give you the quest [52]Set Them Ablaze!, you will have to use the Torch on the braziers in each of the 4 towers. After you finish the quest, Kalaran will turn into a dragon (not an aggressive one, don't worry) and talk to you, and a chest will appear on the ground. Opening it gives you a quest, complete it and you will get a box. Inside this box is the Black Dragonflight Molt. Now that you have the Black Dragonflight Molt, go talk to Cyrus Therepentous, he is in the Eastern part of Burning Steppes, in a cave (loc 39,39).

Where:

The entrance to the Blackrock Mountain can be accessed either from Searing Gorge or Burning Steppes. It doesn't matter what side you come from. You will appear in a large cave, with a floating rock over the lava pit, bound by huge iron chains to the inner walls of the moutain. This area appears on the map, this is where Franclorn Forgewright is marked. You aren't in the Instance part yet, but the guide will start here...
