Onyxia Attunement

Blizzard names the Drakefire Amulet as a requirement for Onyxia's Lair. Plan the associated quest chain well before December 9. Do not copy an old Vanilla route without verifying its Forever prerequisites.

After December 9

The longer-term roadmap promises more dungeons and raids, PvP updates, additional quests, world content, Hardcore and an updated Molten Core. No exact dates are confirmed for those later phases.
