Most notably, bosses drop tier 2 set items.

Quests and Reputation

Killing NPCs in Blackwing Lair does not reward reputation for any faction. The only quests involve the The Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain and handing in the [Head of Nefarian].

Gaining Entry

There are three possible ways to enter:

  • By completing N [60] Blackhand's Command and thereafter porting in by using Orb of Command.
  • By entering the portal in Blackrock Spire.
  • Via a warlock's Spell shadow twilight [Ritual of Summoning]. (Which causes a known glitch at the first boss. The room will continue to spawn adds after the boss has been downed, keeping the raid in almost perpetual combat. The raid leaving the instance may or may not fix this.)

History

Nefarian has vowed to crush Ragnaros. To this end, he has recently begun efforts to bolster his forces, much as his father Deathwing had attempted to do in ages past. However, where Deathwing failed, it now seems the scheming Nefarian may be succeeding. Nefarian's mad bid for dominance has attracted concern from the Red Dragon Flight, which has always been the Black Flight's greatest foe. Though Nefarian's intentions are known, the methods he is using to achieve them remain a mystery. It is believed, however that Nefarian has been experimenting with the blood of all of the various Dragon Flights to produce unstoppable warriors.
