Theres been talk about getting people their onyxia key. Heres the steps in order.&nbsp The level requirement is the same as UBRS which I think is 58+. These are not all the quests just the major steps. There are also some short or easy quests in between I'm not bothering with since they can be solo'd.

1) Warlord's Command - Picked up at Kargath. Have to kill 3 bosses in LBRS and find the document's there that randomly spawn at one of them. Has to be done in a 5 man party. Quest NPC then gives you rewards and sends you to speak with Trall's Advisor in Ogrimmer who gives you another quest to Speak to Thrall.

2) For The Horde! - Given by Thrall in Ogrimmer. He sends you to UBRS to kill Rend. Can and should be done in a 15 man raid. Take Rends head back to Thrall for the next quest, a city wide buff, and some pretty nice rewards.

3) The Champion of the Horde - Thrall will babble at you for a bit then send you to find Rexxar. This is more irritating than hard and can easily be accomplished solo. I only mention this step because he wanders and sometimes takes a bit to locate. Here's his path: Desolace, Feralas
He sends you to a NPC in western plaugelands who is fairly easy to find - Myranda the Hag

4) Ocullus Illusions - Myranda the Hag in WP sends you to UBRS to collect 20 dragon eyes. They drop from the dragon spawn there and can be collected in a raid. Once bring the eyes to her, she'll send you to emberstrife in dustwallow marsh with a amulet.

5) The dragons - You'll get 4 quests to kill 4 named dragons from the different flights for Emberstrife. Scryer in Winterspring, Somnus in Swamp of Sorrows, Chronalis in Tanaris, Axtroz in Grim Batol.

6) The General - You'll take a amulet emberstrife gives you to rexxar who will tell you to get a drop of blood from General Drakkisath in UBRS. And since the general is likely pretty fond of all his drops of blood you'll have to kill him for it. I think most of our members close to 60 have been along for a UBRS raid so this won't be to big a problem. Return it to Rexxar for this Drakefire Amulet aka the key to onyxia's lair.

7) Victory! - dance naked in front of the Ogrimmer bank and have everyone bow to you for your accomplishment of completing one of the more irritating quest lines in the game.

My descriptions for the quests may have some errors in it so please correct me or add something if I missed it. If you want to read through every quest your self then go to here: Onyxia Key Quest Start and keep clicking on "Leads to" on the left side.

This is the beginning of the Onyxia Key quest for horde.

To begin this quest first complete the chat dialogue with Warlord Goretooth, he will then put the item "Warlord Goretooth's Command" in your invintory and you click that to start the quest chain.

If anyone is having troubles finding the guy for this quest in Kargath. He is one of the guys in the tower in Kargath. He is the one to the furthest left without an Exclamation Point. After you are done going through the dialogue he will give you a letter. After reading the letter it will give you this quest. That's all, good luck with your Onyxia quest!

since last weeks patch, you can no longer do this quest in a raid!
i used to think it was nearly impossible to do as a 5-man but I did it today with priest, warrior, mage, and 2 shamans. all long time friends of mine so we played together very well.

when somone picks up the documents, they spawn else where in the dugeon. if you are lucky, they will spawn in the same spot (which happened to us.)

also, make sure everyone in your group checks all the bosses for gems for the uBRS key!

I just found another reazlly useful thing for rogues to do in this quest.&nbsp Once you've downed every boss (we did wyrm, then omokk, then voone), at least 1 and hopefully 2 members have the documents.&nbsp With the group standing in voone's room, have the rogue stealth through the instance looking for the docs.&nbsp Once he takes them, go find them again (they take about 5-10 seconds to resapwn, so stick around as they might respawn at the same place!).&nbsp When you find them, destroy your docs and pick up the ones in front of you.&nbsp This will make them respawn somewhere else, hopefully in voone's room where you party is waiting!&nbsp We got our whole party's docs in one run by doing this, it was extremely easy.

BTW there are actually 4 possible document locations: Behind Wyrmthalak, to the left of Voone, behind Omokk, AND in that area with the ogres right after all the&nbsp spiders.&nbsp The first three areas are really easy for the rogue to stealth to and take docs (the boss guarding them is dead), but the last one may have ogres left (if you didnt kill them).&nbsp If the rogue has improved sap, he can sap the ogre closest to the docs and then grab them.&nbsp Since he has imp sap, the ogre wont ever agro and he can just restealth and walk away.&nbsp Quest done :)

Done this a few times to get guildies through (as well as some pickups) sometimes 60's somtimes not.

To do Wyrm first enter the instance and take the normal road till you get to the second set of Dogs. At this point bypass the dogs & other mobs by taking the shortcut to the right. Dropping off the ledge that walks you over the lava.

Fight through the Invokers. Through the spiders. Bypass the foursome at the tribute pile. Fight through to Halycon. Up the steps through more invokers to Wyrm.

From there go back out to the room where the last set of invokers were. Drop into the first opening in the floor... this takes you to the spot where you fought a bunch of scorpions and a hole that leads right to Omokk. From Omokk stay on that level going out over the bridge which will bring you to the upper level of the Troll area. fight down to Voone.

Since you went from hardest to easiest the road back and forth to the areas the Documents spawn will be reasonably clear. Save for the Ogres at the tribute that pile you bypassed (if you are unlucky enough to have them spawn at that location)

I ended up finding the documents right next to voone in the little room. I guess the docs spawn in different locations as well as the other quest for bijou's belongings.

So I got really bored this morning and tried to solo the LBRS portion of this quest with my Arms spec War.

Took out Omokk and Voone blowing 1 potion on each with relatively few problems. I'm not sure Wyrmthalak is soloable though, tried a few times and his dmg was just a bit much.

I walked right though without drawing any aggro. Think I had to kill maybe 10 trash mobs to get to the bosses total. The loot I got was worth the repair bill, but I'm still wondering if Wyrm is soloable.

I just completed this quest adn we found documents could only be picked up by one person and then were gone.

We did get lucky tho - found them at Ormokk, at the skull pile (with an immediate spawn on pickup) and again at Wyrmthalak. No documents at Voone.

So 4 doucments in one run was nice.

It's not any one specific boss, and in fact they themselves do not drop them. It's an item on the ground, like a large scroll, which will be spawned *next to* one of the three bosses when you first enter the instance. A mouseover shows 'Inconspicuous Documents' IIRC.

Just to clarify, the docs can also spawn at the back of a ledge up a path just after you leave the spider area. The ledge has 4 ogres on it which you normally bypass because you take a hard left up the hill. If they aren't at Wyrmy might be worht a look there. There's no cooldown on pickup.

well just did the Warlords Command with the 1.10 patch...

four manned it without a warrior
59 Druid in bear form
60 Rogue with imp sap
60 Mage
and me 59 Holy Priest

was relatively easy...almost wiped once on the damn spiders...though Arachnaphobia scared me so I might have closed my eyes once or twice during the fight and missed a heal ) used Holy Nova with the Mage AoE as well and demolished them in no time. Presit AoE FTW!

Thought we were in trouble when we rounded the corner and say the 7 or 8 Ogres all walking around together though ended up being the easiest part...single or at worst 3 mob pulls...documents right there. Wiped up towards last boss, missed a runner and almost ended up fighting the whole instance, completed WC first run.

Would have been easier with a Tank, took longer than usually would have though still completed it.

I went with a 5 man group to do this quest a couple of nights ago. Well when we killed Omokk her dropped no documents. We proceeded to Voone and he did'nt drop the documents. Well we made it right up the Wyrmthalak, and got wiped. Unfortunately when we re-entered the instance it had respawned, and we did'nt want to repeat it again. My question is can any of the three bosses you have to kill drop the documents?

We've done this instance with almost the same group a couple of times now and now it just feels like grinding. Make sure you group has some crowd control, I prefer:
- Warrior
- Priest
- Mage
- Druid or Rogue
- Hunter or Shaman or Warlock

In case of a druid, you should let him heal at the start of a fight and let the priest Mindcontrol a warrior to beat up that nasty mages. Especially in wipeout ally this is really usefull.

Of course when you have a rogue, prefered with imp sap, you should get a sap ofcourse. This combined with the counterspell-sheep combo of a mage and a though tank gives you enough crowd control to demolish almost every group in a minute.

The only real though part is when you go from the wolf boss to the upper part to get Wyrmltalk. Don't underestimate this part because it's wipeout all the way if a runner gets agro from anything. Make sure to pull back as far as possible. And if you have a shaman let him save ank for this part and walk as longs as you can, because you'll have respawns in the front, once you get here (if you do all bosses).

We farmed Omokk yesterday and where able to make it to him and take him down within half an hour. You can do the 3 bosses if you skip the rest, within 2 / 3 hours. If you want to complete all quests you should think more about 4 hours.

And watch out at that spider boss, damn nasty without a sleep available.
