In Burning Crusade Classic, many instances are locked if you don't complete certain quests or increase your reputation with certain factions. These blocked instances also prevent you from accessing the later raids in the expansion.
In this guide, we will explain how to access Karazhan, the first raid of the expansion.
Access to Karazhan
Prerequisites:
Karazhan requires you to be Level 70 to enter the raid. However, the necessary quest line begins at Level 68. This begins with the Arcane Disturbances and Restless Activity quests at the entrance to the Karazhan Tower in Deadwind Pass, in the Eastern Kingdoms.
Important: All players who wish to enter Karazhan must have completed the quest sequence detailed below. If any member of the party has not completed this sequence (and therefore obtained The Master's Key), they will be stuck at the entrance to the portal.
Here is the complete quest sequence and the objectives you must complete until you get your access to Karazhan:
Note that this quest line involves venturing into several five-player instances. Bring allies with you!
