Return of Wrathion

Learn more about Wrathion in Cataclysm:

The quest series to purify Wrathion's egg starts from Поход на дракона / Поход на дракона in the Badlands. The quest series is a bit of a tearjerker, culminating in Яйцо в безопасности which rewards Последнее яйцо Реи.
Wrathion next resurfaces in the quest series for Клыки отца, added in Patch 4.3 alongside Dragon Soul. Rogues can still obtain these daggers today, detailed in A Legendary Undertaking - Helping Your Rogue Pick Up A Pair Of Fangs. One neat perk of the daggers is Объятия Разрушителя, which provides slowfall, but more importantly, grants wing visuals.

While no longer obtainable, you can read about the Mists legendaries in Overview of the Legendary Cloak Questline. This quest line spanned the entire expansion, rewarding players with She-Touched weapons, gems for their helms, and legendary cloaks with distinctive visual procs - Сянь-Ин, Стойкость Нюцзао, Сянь-Лэ, Отвага Нюцзао, Гон-Лю, Сила Сюэня, Фэнь-Ю, Гнев Сюэня, Цзина-Кан, Доброта Чи-Цзи, Син-Хо, Дыхание Юй-лун.
In addition to unique rewards, the questline with Wrathion offered an opportunity for players to get to know the black dragon a bit better through overhearing his dialogue with Anduin. With the removal of the questline, these have been lost in-game as well. However, we've transcribed the notable bits in our Wrathion Biography and character analysis, which serve as a useful starting point when examining how his character has grown in the 8.2.5 quests.
You may be interested in returning to Pandaria for the many treasures and secrets it offers, as well as Raiding with Leashes, added earlier this year.

Similar to the MoP legendary questline, the Warlords one has been removed from the game as well. You can follow along with it though in our Warlords Legendary Ring Guide.

Uldum, Amathet, and CorruptionГоловоломка Йогг-Сарона

Completing this step of the questline introduces us to the Uldum Accord Faction and Uldum Assaults, with rares who drop rewards like Поводья дракона Четырех Ветров and Пустынный мародер. The Ульдумский союз has unique rewards such as the Ужас небес Скитальцев Пустыни mount, Карликовый верблюд pet, and the pet toy Поводок для питомцев из щупальца Бездны.

Uldum Accord

Uldum Assaults

In addition, players can start a special questline, from the Voidtouched Egg located near Ankhaten Harbor, to start a questline for a mount. This involves approximately 30 days of daily quests to obtain all rewards - The toy Кладка яиц акиров, the battle pet Детеныш темножала and the mount Темножал-трутень.

Learn more about Corruption:

Completing this stage of the questline also introduces players to the new Corrupted Gear system. Instead of an Item Titanforging, items can now become Corrupted and can randomly proc on any Season 4 item! Content from the previous Season cannot Corrupt and will continue to Titanforge up to a maximum of 455.

Learn more about Corruption in our in-depth guide!

Corrupted Items will have the following:

An amount of a Corruption stat
A Positive Affix bonus that increases your power in some way when you equip the item

This creates a risk/reward system which allows the highest item level gear to be from the best content, but maintains a reason to continue to farm content in hopes for an upgrade. However, unlike Titanforging, you'll have to be careful about equipping too many Corrupted Items as a high Corruption stat will cause some pretty negative effects.

Learn more about Uldum:

Ульдум is a leveling zone added during Cataclysm, which players returned to frequently for the Поводья серого ездового верблюда. Many of the quests delved into Deathwing's bargain with the Neferset and the Titan history of the zone, but there was also a fun questline with Harrison Jones (Через тысячу лет даже ты будешь чего-то стоить).
Uldum is filled with many instances, some of which players still return to for mount farming: Чертоги Созидания, Затерянный город Тол'вир, Вершина Смерча, Трон Четырех Ветров.
Cataclysm also added the Рамкахены faction, comprised of the tribe that resisted Deathwing. At Exalted, players can purchase Поводья темного ездового верблюда or Поводья палевого ездового верблюда, as well as obtain Рамкахены.

Learn more about the Amathet:

The Amathet were originally introduced through a special Island drop, Блестящий скарабей, covered in Secret Stories of Battle for Azeroth. Many of the other quest items for Постой, я послушаю led to interesting speculation, as they touched upon aspects of WoW's lore from past expansions like the Black and Twilight Dragonflights. As Battle for Azeroth progressed, we saw these story threads gain prominence, as some others paid off in Visions of N'Zoth like Поющий камень and the Mantid.
Постой, я послушаю is one of the achievements needed for the Islands meta Глава экспедиции and .

Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Ra-denThe Origins of the Mogu

Completing this step of the questline introduces us to the Rajani Faction and Vale of Eternal Blossoms Assaults. The Раджани has unique rewards such as Кованая молнией усиливающая руна, Перо ветроперого журавля, and essences to enhance your Сердце Азерот.

Learn more about the Mogu, who also play a large role in the Story of the Zandalari Trolls:

The Mogu played a large role in Mists of Pandaria. Their culture is reflected in archaeology solves like Терракотовая рука and Окаменевший костяной хлыст. The dungeon Дворец Могу'шан and raid Подземелья Могу'шан added at Mists of Pandaria's launch provide a closer look at this culture.
Раскаты грома reveals more lore about Lei Shen’s rule - these scrolls are scattered about the isle of Thunder. Several archaeology items also relate to Lei Shen: Указы Властелина Грома and Знак Властелина Грома.
Lei Shen died of old age, but was resurrected in Mists of Pandaria. Остров Грома and Престол Гроз were added in Patch 5.2.
Many archaeology solves reference the slavery of the Mogu: Потертый гроссбух, Тавро вождя, Терракотовая рука, Оковы мятежника, Пандаренский чайный набор
The objects needed for Черное сердце могу give more details on the Mogu’s slavery practices.

Learn more about Ra-den, originally a boss in Mists of Pandaria:

Ра-ден is originally a Heroic-only, limited-attempt boss in the Престол Гроз raid.
Кулак Ра-дена is Highkeeper Ra's weapon, gifted to him by Aman'Thul in the War against the Black Empire. Elemental Shaman can acquire this artifact weapon and learn more about Ra-den in the related artifact book.

Learn more about the Vale of Eternal Blossoms:

Вечноцветущий дол, designed as a max-level zone for players in the Pandaria expansion, is the seat of the Pandaren empire. Sealed shut for many years, it's open to travelers for the first time after completing Xuen, the White Tiger's trials, in Испытания Небожителей. It is the location of the Alliance and Horde major faction hubs in Pandaria, as well as daily quests with Золотой Лотос and Хранители истории's archaeology hub, not to mention the dungeon Дворец Могу'шан.
Поводья грозового рубинового облачного змея is a mount from the rare spawn Алани in this zone.
In Patch 5.4, the Vale underwent a massive change as Garrosh unleashed destruction on the zone. Finally in Patch 8.3, we see most of the Vale cleansed years later. These changes impacted the available content in the zones, most notably Мы в доле and the locations of some rare spawns.
Outside of N'zoth Assaults, players can earn reputation with the Golden Lotus Faction based in the Vale, acquiring rewards like Поводья золотистого ездового журавля.

Horrific Visions and Legendary Cloak

Legendary Cloak Guide

At Rank 6 and 12, the cloak receives a special bonus effect!

Rank 12: Equip: Your spells and abilities have a chance to increase your Main Stat by 3,500 for 15 sec. (About 40% uptime)

Horrific Visions are 1-5 player timed runs that require a Сосуд жутких видений to enter. This item can be bought for Сгусток видений from Wrathion. Depending on how many objectives you complete, you will earn a certain amount of Сгусток видений. The more Сгусток видений that you get, the more runs of Horrific Visions that you'll be able to run and get upgrades for your Legendary cloak. The Rank of your Legendary Cloak will determine how far you can progress in Horrific Visions.
