Many of the [[instances]] in the game require keys or attunement to enter, or to reach their entrances without needing to go through the lesser dungeons in front of them. Some are easy to obtain. Some are long and difficult quests.
−
A '''recipe''' lists a set of required [[ingredient]]s that can make or produce an [[item]] depending on a required [[profession]] or [[class]] and a required level. This can be in the form of an item (like a note, parchment or scroll) or given by a [[trainer]]. When in the form of an item, they are sometimes found (in limited supply) on [[vendor]]s throughout the world,or as drops from [[mob]]s. In the game manuals, they are sometimes called '''blueprints'''.

==Karazhan==
−
Primary professions:
  
  +
{{Infoline|1=As of March 25, 2008 - Karazhan no longer requires attunement, but the key is still necessary to open the doors.}}
−
* [[Tailoring]] and [[Leatherworking]] recipes are scrolls called [[Pattern]]s.
  
−
* [[Engineering]] recipes are scrolls called [[Schematic]]s. In rare cases they are called Plans.
  
−
* [[Mining]] recipes are books. There is only two of them in the game, one referred to as a "[[Goblin's Guide to Elementium|guide]]" and the other a "[[Study of Advanced Smelting|study]]".
  
−
* [[Enchanting]] recipes are paper sheets called [[Formula]]s.
  
−
* [[Alchemy]] recipes are scrolls called '''[[Alchemy recipes|Recipes]]'''.
  
−
* [[Blacksmithing]] recipes are scrolls called [[Plans]].
  
−
* [[Jewelcrafting]] recipes are scrolls called [[Design]]s.
  
−
* [[Inscription]] recipes are called [[Technique]]s although there is only four of them, one book and three scrolls. Many other glyphs are learned through books called [[Book of Glyph Mastery]] which works a little different than other recipes. Each book may teach the scribe a random glyph chosen from 50 different kinds.
  
   
  +
{{main|The Master's Key}}
  +
Attunement for [[Karazhan]] involves obtaining {{item|The Master's Key}} through a fairly extensive quest chain. It begins with {{NPC|Neutral|Archmage Alturus}} of [[The Violet Eye]] just outside the tower itself.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|Arcane Disturbances}} and {{questlong|neutral|70|Restless Activity}}.
  +
**These two quests are easily soloable and should be done together as they are both required to proceed. Arcane Disturbances sends you into two underground caverns to use {{item|Violet Scrying Crystal}} to collect readings from underground water sources: a well and a pond. Each cavern's entrance is very close to the questgiver and each cavern only has one of the two sources. In the process of getting to the water sources you should have killed enough ghosts to obtain 10 Ghostly Essences.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|Contact from Dalaran}}
  +
**[[Archmage Alturus]] now sends you to the city of [[Dalaran]] in the southern area of [[Alterac Mountains]] with a report. There you will find {{NPC|Neutral|Archmage Cedric}} to whom you must deliver the report.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|Khadgar}}
  +
**Simply travel to [[Shattrath City]] and speak to {{NPC|Neutral|Khadgar}} near {{NPC|Neutral|A'dal}} in the central building of the [[Terrace of Light]].
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|Entry Into Karazhan}}
  +
**Khadgar will now send you to obtain the first fragment of [[The Master's Key]] which resides in the [[Shadow Labyrinth]] area of [[Auchindoun]]. It can be found in a container near {{Mob|Murmur}}.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|The Second and Third Fragments}}
  +
**The second and third fragments lie in the [[Steamvault]] and [[Arcatraz]] instances respectively.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|The Master's Touch}}
  +
**Khadgar will now direct you to go to [[Opening of the Dark Portal]] in the [[Caverns of Time]] to speak to [[Medivh]]. Complete the instance and he will turn {{item|Restored Apprentice's Key}} into {{item|The Master's Key}}. (''Note: in order to enter the Dark Portal instance, you must have completed the quest [[Escape from Durnholde Keep]] in Caverns of Time: Old Hillsbrad'')
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|Return to Khadgar}}
  +
**Simply return to Khadgar with the key.
  +
*{{questlong|Neutral|70|The Violet Eye}}
  +
**Return to [[Deadwind Pass]] and speak to [[Archmage Alturus]] to begin receiving [[Karazhan]] quests.
   
  +
==Hellfire Citadel==
−
Secondary professions:
  
  +
===The Shattered Halls===
−
* [[Cooking]] recipes are scrolls also called '''[[Cooking recipes|Recipes]]'''.
  
  +
{{main|Shattered Halls Key}}
−
* [[First Aid]] recipes are books called [[Manual]]s, although one is a scroll called a [[Formula: Powerful Anti-Venom|Formula]].
  
  +
The quest line to obtain the {{item|Shattered Halls Key}} begins from a drop off of {{Mob|Smith Gorlunk}} on the [[Ata'mal Terrace]] near the [[Black Temple]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. The item {{item|Primed Key Mold}} begins the chain. Only one person needs the key for the group to enter. A rogue with 350 lockpicking skill can also open the gate.
−
* [[Fishing]] once used recipes being books that taught the player higher levels of fishing, but as of patch 3.1, new levels are taught by trainers like in any other profession. However, in patch 2.3.0, there was implemented a [[Weather-Beaten Journal|book]] only obtainable by fishing. It teaches players an ability to [[Find Fish|find fish]].
 
   
  +
*{{questlong|Alliance|68|Entry Into the Citadel (Alliance)}} / {{quest|Entry Into the Citadel (Horde)|(Horde)}}
  +
** Bring the {{item|Primed Key Mold}} to {{NPC|Alliance|Danath Trollbane||Force Commander Danath Trollbane}} / {{NPC|Horde|Nazgrel}}.
  +
*{{questlong|Alliance|68|Grand Master Dumphry}} / {{questlong|Horde|70|Grand Master Rohok}}
  +
** Travel to {{NPC|Alliance|Dumphry|Grand Master Blacksmith}} / {{NPC|Horde|Rohok|Grand Master Blacksmith}}
  +
*{{questlong|Alliance|68|Dumphry's Request}} / {{questlong|Horde|70|Rohok's Request}}
  +
**Bring the following:
  +
*** {{item|Fel Iron Bar}} x4
  +
*** {{item|Arcane Dust}} x2
  +
*** {{item|Mote of Fire}} x4
  +
*{{questlong|Alliance|68|Hotter than Hell (Alliance)}} / {{quest|Hotter than Hell (Horde)|(Horde)}}
  +
**Kill a {{Mob|Fel Reaver}} and use its fires to change {{item|Unfired Key Mold}} into {{item|Charred Key Mold}}.
   
  +
==Coilfang Reservoir==
−
Class-specified profession(s):
  
  +
===Serpentshrine Cavern===
−
* [[Poisons#Historical|Poisons]] were once a profession only known by Rogues, which allowed them to make their own poisons. [[Patch 3.0.2]] removed this skill, having Rogues buy poison instead of making it. Only one recipe existed for this profession, {{loot|rare|Handbook of Deadly Poison V}}. Notice that the term "Handbook" and the item being a book in itself counts for all '''Rogue'''-abilities taught from items in general, and not as qualities for recipes especially in this profession.
  
  +
{{Infoline|1=As of June 19, 2007 - Serpentshrine Cavern no longer requires attunement}}
   
  +
{{main|Serpentshrine Cavern#Attunement}}.
   
  +
* Enter the [[Slave Pens]] in [[Heroic Mode]]. Find {{NPC|Neutral|Skar'this the Heretic}} captive in a cage after the first boss, {{Mob|Mennu the Betrayer}}.
−
Recipe names are, to an extent, interchangeable. For example, it is not uncommon to see people referring to ANY recipe, be it jewelcrafting, alchemy, etc, as a "pattern", "plans", or "design".
  
  +
* {{questlong|neutral|70|The Cudgel of Kar'desh}}.
  +
** Retrieve the {{item|Earthen Signet}} from {{mob|Gruul the Dragonkiller}} in [[Gruul's Lair]] and the {{item|Blazing Signet}} from {{mob|Nightbane (boss)||Nightbane}} in [[Karazhan]].
   
  +
==Auchindoun==
−
==Rarity of different recipes==
  
  +
===Shadow Labyrinth===
−
Recipes often come in different colors (both picture and name), depending on their rarity. Although the system differs between different professions, a common rule is that recipes in white are "common" recipes that usually are bought from vendors, while any other colors are more uncommon recipes dropped by monsters or obtained from quests. Generally, the color of a recipe reflects the quality of the crafted item, and if the item is either unusual or powerful for its level, the recipe is often hard to obtain.
 
  +
*{{Mob|Talon King Ikiss}}, the final boss in the [[Sethekk Halls]] wing of [[Auchindoun]] guards the {{item|Shadow Labyrinth Key}} which is contained in [[The Talon King's Coffer]] behind him. Only one person needs the key for the group to enter. A rogue with 350 lockpicking skill can also open the gate.
   
  +
==Tempest Keep==
−
There are however several exceptions; some white cooking-recipes may for example be considered extremely rare even though they are bought for less than a gold from easily accessable vendors, or are rewards from simple low-level quests. This is because many cooking-recipes are only obtainable by players playing as a Horde-character and vice versa, thus only allowing the opposite faction to learn the recipe by selling it in the neutral auction house. Another phenomenon is rare recipes often selling for quite the price between players even though the crafted item may be next to useless; this is because many players devoted to their profession seek to complete it as much as possible, even with useless items. Before selling a recipe, players therefore should always check the market to see what people are willing to pay.
  
  +
Note that to enter [[Tempest Keep]], you will need to have a flying mount or have [[warlock]] summon you into the instance.
