Since the TBC survey went out, all I’m hearing people talk about is TBC, and the hype is building. So in the spirit of things I thought I’d give everyone a refresher on the raid attunement requirements for the heroes and raids that were launched on day 1 of TBC.
You’re level 70 finally, congrats!
You can now enter Magtheridons Lair, and you can purchase flying (L68) which gives you access to Doom Lord Kazak the world boss.
The first raid encounter beyond the single boss raid of Magtheridons Lair that you’ll want to enter is Karazhan. You need to get your key first, even if the doors open you can not enter without a key. To get your key you have to do a few things.
- Complete Shadow Labs dungeon. (normal)
- Complete The Steam Vaults dungeon. (Normal)
- Complete Arcatraz dungeon. (normal)
3a. Learn to fly.
3b. Complete The Mechanar dungeon. (Normal)
3c. Complete The Botanica dungeon. (Normal)
Congrats you can no pick up your Arcatraz (normal) key and finish your Karazhan attunement! - Complete Caverns of Time entrance quest line.
- Complete Durnholde dungeon. (Normal)
- Complete The Dark Portal dungeon. (Normal)
Congrats you now can pick up your Karazhan key!
Now that you’ve done Karazhan and you’re all decked in your T4 you probably have your sights set on Serpentshrine Caverns and that phat T5 loot. You need a key for this place too. Here’s what you need to do to enter;
- Complete Karazhan.
- Clear Grull’s Lair. (No key needed!)
- Complete Slave Pens dungeon. (Heroic)
3a. Become revered with Cenarion Expedition.
You can now pick up your SSC key!
You’ll likely want to run Tempest Keep as well since a lot of your T5 that doesn’t drop in SSC, is being held in Tempest Keep. You’ll of course need a key to enter TK.
- Complete the Tempest Keep key quest line.
1a. Complete Shattered Halls dungeon. (Heroic)
1b. Complete Shattered Halls dungeon quest line.
1bb. Complete Shattered Halls dungeon. (Normal)
1bbb. Become Revered with Honor Hold.
1c. Complete Shadow Labs dungeon. (Heroic)
1cc. Become Revered with Lower City.
1d. Complete Arcatraz dungeon. (Heroic)
1dd. Become Revered with the Shattar.
1e. Complete Arcatraz Dungeon. (Normal) Part of Karazhan key attunement as well.
1f. Complete The Steam Vault dungeon. (Heroic)
1ff. Become Revered with the Cenarion Expedition. Part of SSC key attunement as well.
Congrats you can now pick up your Tempest Keep key!
The final raid that was initially released in TBC was Mount Hyjal which has some of the T6 gear you’ll need. You can just walk into this place.

Lol just kidding it has a key too. Here’s what you need to enter it;
- Become Friendly with the Scale of the Sands.
- Become Revered with the Keepers of Time.
- Complete Tempest Keep.
- Complete Serpentshrine Caverns.
Congrats you now have your key and can go grab some of that T6!
These are only the attunements required for the initial raids that came with TBC. It does not have later raids like Black Temple and The Sunwell. Hope the refresher helps!
