Tempest Keep, Eye of the Storm key
Questline starts in Shadowmoon Valley at a guy named "Oronok Torn-heart"
First you do some small quests for him, then he sends you out to find his 3 sons.
After you have found them and done all quests you get a quest to kill a golemagg-lookalike (5 man group)
When you have done that Oronok Torn-heart sends you to Shattrath City and there you can
pick up 3 quests and in all 3 it stands like this:
"Four trials you must pass before you are deemed worthy of the Tempest key"
"Trial of the Naaru: Mercy (Heroic)" Completes in Shattred Halls, Heroic
"Trial of the Naaru: Strength (Heroic)" Completes in Steamwault and Shadow Labyrinth, Heroic

click that first link, and if you dont have a headache after figuring it all out, then you must not have figured it out..
 
didt seem that bad of a chart to me
 
The diagram really wasn't a bad diagram. I can at least tell you that you'll end up in Mount Hyjal. =P

But yea....lots of rep grinding since for a lot of stuff it looks like you have to be Revered with a whole other faction. Blah! =\
 
Rep grinding in TBC isn't that bad... 3 weeks in from just questing (no grinding) my brother's beta mage had quite a number of honored and even one or two revereds.

Of course, I believe beta rep was buffed... so perhaps it will take 5 weeks.

(Oh yeah, he was revered with the Cavern of Time people and one other)

I think the "you must be revered with..." thing is to prevent hard-core raiding guilds from skipping all the other content and just doing the 4 top instances in 3 months and whining at blizzard for more.
 
I was looking at the stats for the tier 5 armor. There is good news. The tier 3 armor in most cases is actually better than the lvl 70 tier 5 stuff. Not sure if Blizz will change this, but we will see.

Does this mean I *should* continue to push for exalted with Argent Dawn for Naxx attunement?

I know that the tier 4 armor is socketed, too. IIRC tier 5 is as well. From playing beta, how much do the slots add to the potential value of the armor in comparison with the non-slotted tier 3?
 
I have not seen anyone we know that high.

From reading some boards the current effect of gem crafting is minimal.
 
Here is the list of Jewelcrafting recipes: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/skill.html?line=755&source=test
http://www.thottbot.com/beta?gem=All

It has all the gems listed on it that can be player made. The second link is the list from thottbot on all the gems. I still think the Tier 3 stuff will be better until you can get some of the Meta gems that are very hard to get. They only drop, I believe, in the level 70 raid instances. That is also where you get most of the tier 5 armor stuff.
 
One thing I was wondering.. in the diagram it all seems to lead to geting up to Mount Hyjal, what is up there?
