Scenario

Scenarios allow small groups of players to adventure together in short instances, with progressive objectives and a story arc. Scenarios are completely role-less, meaning tanks or healers aren't necessary to succeed - any class combination can work. Smaller scenarios play similar to group quests and help players earn faction reputation, while larger scenarios play out like epic PvE battlegrounds with major objectives and plenty of scripted events, for example defending Goldshire from a Kobold attack. They are instanced areas.

Scenarios become available at level 90. Most scenarios have a minimum average item level of 425 in order to queue for them. The four scenarios added in Patch 5.3, and the Heroic mode version of any scenario all have a average minimum item level requirement of 496.

Queuing up

Queuing for scenarios works identically to queuing for a dungeon, and is accomplished via the Dungeon Finder interface (default hotkey: I). Players can choose a specific scenario, or opt for a random scenario. Completing a random scenario will reward the player with roughly 20, 50 [Valor Points], and a  [Greater Cache of Treasures] that may contain either additional gold or a randomly enchanted piece of level 90 equipment tailored to their class (though not necessarily their spec).

Single-player scenarios

Starting from a very rare drop, warlocks can undertake a very difficult solo-scenario to turn their fire green in Pursuing the Black Harvest.

There are a handful of scenarios on the Isle of Thunder that are designed for a single player. None of these single-player scenarios may be queued for the normal way by using the scenario-finder interface. Instead, the quest giver will provide a gossip option to queue for and start the scenario. All but one of these scenarios can only be completed once-per-player during the Isle of Thunder storyline. As such, the documentation and walk-throughs for these scenarios are provided in the quests where the scenarios take place:

1.  [90] The Assault on Shaol'mara /  [90] The Assault on Zeb'tula
2.  [90] Tear Down This Wall!
3.  [90] To the Skies!
4.  [90] A Bold Idea /  [90] Decisive Action
5.  [90] The Fall of Shan Bu

The one repeatable single-player scenario is Troves of the Thunder King, the loot-grabbing scenario that requires a  [Key to the Palace of Lei Shen] to begin.

Additionally, as part of Wrathion's legendary quest, he starts the solo scenario  [90] The Thunder Forge.

Not-yet-released scenarios

These scenarios are scheduled to appear in Patch 5.3.0:
