Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj (AQ20)

To enter AQ20 and AQ40 a server-wide event is held where all kinds of materials have to be handed in at NPCs located in the main cities. Only when all requirements are met the gates will open and a lot of raid level mini-bosses will swarm Silithus. Only one person per server can initiate the opening and will get a unique mount (bug mount usable outside AQ40 and the title “Scarab lord”).

20 main raid instance located in Silithus with its difficulty rated around ZG levels, below BWL. The loot isn’t that great if you are decked out in BWL gear already but it is another catch-up instance. Killing mobs will increase your reputation with the Circle of Cenarius, a faction in Silithus that sells patterns for nature resistance gear. Resets every three days.

Temple of Ahn’Qiraj (AQ40)
Does not need an attunement but a server-wide progression event, see AQ20.

40 man raid instance located in Silithus intended as a next step after BWL. Some encounters require everyone to have around 100 nature resistance, tanks should have 250, for Huhuran’s enrage 15 people need even higher resistance. The second boss Satura is a gear check. It has three optional bosses that can be skipped. Trash mobs have a chance to drop a bug mount, available in four colors, that can only be used inside the instance but works indoors to traverse this huge instance way faster. You will need at least five fully equipped tanks. Killing mobs and bosses will give reputation to the Brood of Nozdormu and you will get a nice ring that can be upgraded with each reputation rank.

The last two bosses, the Twin Emperors and C’Thun, and their trash mobs are quite a bit harder to beat than the rest of the instance. Resets during weekly maintenance.
