General Drakkisath's Demise and For The Horde!
Both the Alliance and Horde have a similar quest chain that is available at level 55 to obtain one of the strongest trinkets currently available in WoW Classic. You will be able to choose from Mark of Tyranny, Eye of the Beast, or Blackhand's Breadth. These are some of the best PvE trinkets available in the game, making them a must have for anyone starting out at level 60.
Alliance
- Once you are level 55, the first time you kill Overlord Wyrmthalak in LBRS you will get General Drakkisath's Command as a drop. This letter gives you a quest to bring it to Marshal Maxwell in the Burning Steppes.
- Marshal Maxwell will give you the quest General Drakkisath's Demise to kill General Drakkisath in UBRS. Once you kill the General, return to Marshal Maxwell.
Horde
- At level 55 you can pick up the quest Warlord's Command from Warlord Goretooth in Kargath.
- Warlord Goretooth wants you to clear LBRS, killing Highlord Omokk, War Master Voone, and Overlord Wyrmthalak. Additionally, you will need to find Important Blackrock Documents within LBRS. These can be found in the same room as Highlord Omokk, War Master Voone, the tribute pile used to summon Urok Doomhowl, or Overlord Wyrmthalak.
- Once you have cleared LBRS and have the document, return to Warlord Goretooth in Kargath. He will give you a new quest, sending you to Orgrimmar.
- You will talk to Eitrigg and then Thrall in Orgrimmar. Thrall will then task you with killing Warchief Rend Blackhand in UBRS to get his head. Once you have his head, return to Thrall.
Doomrigger's Clasp
This is an Alliance only quest that involves traveling around to talk with several people in addition to retrieving an item from UBRS. This quest chain can be completed at level 57.
- Pick up Mayara Brightwing from Count Remington Ridgewell in Stormwind. You can find him in Stormwind Keep.
- Travel to Morgan's Vigil in the Burning Steppes. Talk to Mayara there.
- Go to UBRS. You will need to find the Doomrigger's Clasp, which can be found in the room where the Father Flame event to summon Solakar Flamewreath is.
- Return to Mayara Brightwing, who then makes you return to Count Remington Ridgewell.
The Darkstone Tablet
This is a Horde only quest that involves traveling around to talk with several people in addition to retrieving an item from UBRS. This quest chain can be completed at level 57.
- Pick up Vivian Lagrave from Apothecary Zinge in Undercity. You can find him in the Apothecarium.
- Travel to Kargath in the Badlands to find Shadowmage Vivian Lagrave.
- Go to UBRS. You will need to find the Darkstone Tablet, which can be found in the Rookery, or the room with all of the whelp eggs in it.
- Return to Shadowmage Vivian Lagrave in Kargath.
Pip Quickwit, At Your Service!
This is a very short quest that you get from the item Glowing Hunk of the Beast's Flesh, which drops from The Beast in UBRS. Once you have the item, you just need to bring it to Malyfous Darkhammer in Everlook in Winterspring.
The Matron Protectorate
This quest is picked up by speaking with the Blue dragon whelpling Awbee inside of the dungeon and bringing the provided quest item to Haleh in Winterspring.
The Demon Forge
This short quest chain can be completed in Southern Winterspring by speaking with Lorax. This is a Blacksmithing only quest and can not be picked up by anyone without the profession.
- Lorax's Tale
- The Demon Forge
Eye of the Emberseer
The Eye of the Emberseer quest can only be obtained after completing both of the prerequisite quests from Duke Hydraxis in Azshara.
Blackhand's Command
This short quest chain for Blackwing Lair attunement is started by killing Scarshield Quartermaster outside of the dungeon for the Blackhand's Command.
Attunements
Both the Onyxia's Lair attunement and the Molten Core attunement have portions that require you to do various things in UBRS. These are required quest chains if you want to start raiding. These quest chains also do not require level 60 to begin, so you might want to consider looking into starting these at 55+ if you happen to have a guild or group willing to help you out with some of the dungeon parts at any point.
