'''Temple of Ahn'Qiraj''' is a 40-man raid dungeon located in southern [[Silithus]]. It was released with [[patch 1.9]] during a massive server-dependent event called the [[Gates of Ahn'Qiraj]].
 
   
  +
The '''Blackwater Deckhand''' provides the earliest means to gain reputation with the [[Bloodsail Buccaneers]]. There are a total of six Blackwater Deckhand's. Two on the dock, one on deck, one just below deck and two in the hold.
−
Players access this instance via the [[Gates of Ahn'Qiraj]], an area before the instances with portals to both Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.
 
   
  +
==Rewards==
−
The entrance to [[Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj]], which is a 20-man raid instance intended to be the step before [[Blackwing Lair]], is via a separate portal following the left path from the [[Scarab Wall]] gate.
 
  +
'''Reputation ([[Bloodsail Buccaneers]])''': 5 reputation per kill
   
  +
Note that killing this mob will also make you lose 25 Reputation with [[Booty Bay]], and 12.5 Reputation with the other three [[Steamwheedle Cartel]] factions.

== History ==

Dark whispers ride on the winds of Silithus desert. An old god stirs in his wretched lair and the entire world shall soon be the target of his wrath.

== Respawn rate when killed ==
−
After thousands of years of slumber, the old god, C'thun has awakened and is quickly regenerating his power. Once he has reached full potential nothing will be able to stop him. The dragons that so humbly sacrificed themselves so long ago to imprison C'thun are weakened or enslaved in the temple, so the charge of protecting the land falls to other heroes.
 
  +
If you kill a Blackwater Deckhand while your reputation with Booty Bay is {{reputation|unfriendly}} or higher, it will respawn almost instantly.
   
  +
However, if any player (including yourself) has a Booty Bay reputation of {{reputation|hostile}} or {{reputation|hated}}, and is standing less than 40 yards from the Blackwater Deckhand's respawn point, the Blackwater Deckhand will take much longer to respawn.
−
Heroes must enter Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, challenge C'thun's most wicked servants, and slay a god. The road will not be easy and it is wrought with peril at every turn. Will the heroes turn back now or face C'thun in his mighty lair and put an end to him once and for all?{{Cite|WoWDC|20}}

−
The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj scales more in difficulty than other instances. The first few bosses are on par with the harder bosses in [[Molten Core]] and the last bosses are harder than anything you find in [[Blackwing Lair]].
 
−  
−
Nature resistance is particularly important in this instance for a few bosses. Equipment is important, but the earlier encounters will be possible to beat with sheer wits and strategy. Nature Protection potions are clearly of use here.

−
There is no key required to enter the Ahn'Qiraj temple instance. Upon going through the Scarab Wall gate in southern Silithus, follow the path to the right to the instance portal.

== Loot ==
 
−
:''For more details see [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj Loot]]''
 
−
The loot in AQ40 comes from:
 
−
* Killing [[boss]]es
 
−
* Killing [[mobs]]
 
−
* Quest rewards. Good reputation with [[Brood of Nozdormu]] is required to complete these quests, in much the same way as [[Zandalar Tribe]] reputation is required for [[Zul'Gurub]] quest rewards. It's possible to access these quest NPC after having killed the Prophet Skeram.
 
−  
−
==== Loot-quest system ====
 
−
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj uses a Loot-quest system like [[Zul'Gurub]] or [[Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj]].
 
−  
−
Players must collect ten scarab items of a certain type, two stone idols of a certain type, and a single Qiraji item. When a player has the appropriate collection for a particular item and a certain level of reputation with the Brood of Nozdormu, they can turn them in for the item.
 
−  
−
The idols and scarabs can be found on mobs within the instance and in Greater Scarab Coffers, which can be opened with Greater Scarab Coffer Keys, which are White quality, not soulbound and as of 1.10 no longer zone-bound.
