In order to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj and access the Ruins and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, players on their respective servers will have to collect a large number of resources. This is known as the Ahn'Qiraji War Effort, and in this article we'll be focusing on the amount of materials you'll have to collect as a member of the Horde.

Where can you contribute to the War Effort?
To donate to Horde War Effort, simply head to the Valley of Spirits in Orgrimmar. There, you can expect to find a vast number of NPCs that will offer you repeatable quests, each dedicated to a specific resource.
Important: The first quest you complete for each resource will give you 10 Horde Commendation Signets. For the majority of quests, each time you turn one it in, it will give you less Signets each time.

Note: Each quest requires 20 materials to complete, besides quests that require Leather, in any form. You'll only need 10 pieces of leather for those quests.
Rewards
Obviously, the main reason for taking part ine the war effort is to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Without passing this milestone, it won't be possible for any players on the server to take part in the Ruins or Temple of Ahn'Qiraj raids. Above all else, this is a collective effort which must be met before your server can raid Ahn'Qiraj.
Another reason to contribute to the War Effort are the Horde Commendation Signets, which provide an easy way for you to increase your reputation with any Horde Capital City (Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Undercity, or the Darkspear Trolls). Signets offer the most efficient way to increase your reputation with the Alliance, which in turn gives you access to different mounts that you would not usually be allowed to ride (Wolves, Skeletal Horses, Raptor, and Kodos).
