Before you go
- Renown 5 with the Valdrakken Accord: Herald Flaps then brings To Dragonbane Keep!, which opens the Siege on Dragonbane Keep · about 2 h
- Hey Nanny Nanny, Whelp, There It Is and Daycare Derby: the Little Scales Daycare quest line, begun with Eggs in Abundance from Herald Flaps. Five whelps are raised in turn (Hey Nanny Nanny) and each opens daily quests of its own: all 16 of those have to be done once (Whelp, There It Is), five of them the whelp races (Daycare Derby) · about 5 h over 2 weeks
- Siege on Dragonbane Keep: Home Sweet Home, Snack Attack and Chiseled Record: finish the siege once (it starts every two hours), feed Beef 20 Beef Snacks during its first stage, which may be spread over several sieges, and read the three djaradin tablets in the keep, which are there whether or not a siege is on · about 1.5 h
- I'm Playing All Sides and Obsidian Keymaster: 30 Restored Obsidian Keys handed in around the Obsidian Citadel, at least one each to Wrathion, Sabellian, Forgemaster Bazentus and Igys the Believer. A key is 30 Key Fragments and 3 Key Framing from the djaradin and elementals there; each week the first goes to Wrathion or Sabellian through the weekly quests Allegiance to One and Keys of Loyalty before the other two will take any · about 4 h
- Obsidian Champion: the four events those keys set off, each once enough keys have been handed to its keeper by everyone in the area together: 20 to Wrathion for Clearing the Vault, 20 to Sabellian for Death's Shadow, 10 to Igys for Breaking the World, 10 to Bazentus for Forging the Answer. With nobody else handing keys in that is 60 keys, twice the Keymaster's 30 · about 4 h
- Adventurer of Thaldraszus and Treasures of Thaldraszus: 10 of the 22 rares, and all six treasures. Two treasures show only once their map has been found: the Time-Lost Memo for the Cracked Hourglass and the Bear Termination Orders for the Amber Gem Cluster, both chance finds in Dragon Isles chests and Disturbed Dirt · about 3 h
In all: about 19.5 h of play, spread over 2 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Valdrakken 13 57.6 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Valdrakken*
- Fly the rest of the way
- Take the portal from Orgrimmar to Valdrakken*
- Fly the rest of the way
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
A project of about three weeks, not a trip: the mount is granted when the eleventh achievement completes (it is the achievement's reward, not a drop), and the daycare's day-by-day gate sets the pace. The place given is the daycare because it is visited every day; its coordinates are the wiki's for Agapanthus, and the 20 minutes are one day's whelp quests, an estimate.
All the parts except the three siege achievements have been account-wide since patch 11.0 (wiki), and Wowhead's guide says Flight Club has account-wide progress. The eleven:
- Siege on Dragonbane Keep: Home Sweet Home, Chiseled Record and Snack Attack
- Obsidian Keymaster, I'm Playing All Sides, Obsidian Champion
- Whelp, There It Is, Hey Nanny Nanny, Daycare Derby
- Treasures of Thaldraszus, Adventurer of Thaldraszus
Places (The Waking Shores unless said):
- the siege gathers at 30.4, 78.0
- the tablets: 28.8, 72.5 (Wyrmeater's hut), 27.8, 68.4 (Scalepiercer's hut) and 24.1, 69.2 (outside, north of the keep)
- Wrathion 26.7, 62.6
- Sabellian 27.6, 56.5
- Igys the Believer 32.3, 52.5
- Forgemaster Bazentus 24.8, 61.1
- the daycare quest line's first stop: Amella at the Ruby Lifeshrine, 62.2, 73.4
Wowhead's guide (updated 2025) warns that I'm Playing All Sides sometimes fails to count a key, the cure being to hand in more, and that a finished key vanishes when its holder leaves the Obsidian Citadel, while fragments and framings stay. The hours for the keys are the weakest figure here: nothing was found on how fast fragments and framings drop. True Endgame says the world quests at the citadel need the Dragon Isles campaign finished on one character.
The wiki's wording for Snack Attack is 20 snacks; the siege's optional goal counts 50. The sources disagree on the Amber Gem Cluster: True Endgame (updated 2024) says its map needs Renown 21 with the Dragonscale Expedition, while the wiki lists Disturbed Dirt and four kinds of chest as where the map is found and names no renown. It is not settled, so no renown is given as a requirement. The achievement was added in patch 10.2.6 (wiki).
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
