Return of Wrathion

Learn more about Wrathion in Cataclysm:

The quest series to purify Wrathion's egg starts from Der Zorn eines Drachenschwarms / Der Zorn eines Drachenschwarms in the Badlands. The quest series is a bit of a tearjerker, culminating in Das Ei lebt weiter which rewards Rheas letztes Ei.
Wrathion next resurfaces in the quest series for Fänge des Urvaters, 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 Umarmung des Zerstörers, 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 - Qian-Ying, Kraft von Niuzao, Qian-Le, Mut von Niuzao, Gong-Lu, Stärke von Xuen, Fen-Yu, Zorn von Xuen, Jina-Kang, Güte von Chi-Ji, Xing-Ho, Atem von Yu'lon.
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.

You can read about Wrathion's presence on Draenor in the book Admiral Taylors Garnisonslogbuch.

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 CorruptionPuzzlebox des Yogg-Saron

Completing this step of the questline introduces us to the Uldum Accord Faction and Uldum Assaults, with rares who drop rewards like Zügel des Drachen der Vier Winde and Wüstenmarodeur. The Abkommen von Uldum has unique rewards such as the Himmelsschrecken der Wüstenwanderer mount, Zwergkamel pet, and the pet toy Leerententakelhaustierleine.

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 Aqirgelege, the battle pet Schattendornjungtier and the mount Schattendorndrohne.

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:

Uldum is a leveling zone added during Cataclysm, which players returned to frequently for the Zügel des grauen Reitkamels. 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 (In tausend Jahren könntet selbst Ihr etwas wert sein).
Uldum is filled with many instances, some of which players still return to for mount farming: Hallen des Ursprungs, Die Verlorene Stadt der Tol'vir, Der Vortexgipfel, Thron der Vier Winde.
Cataclysm also added the Ramkahen faction, comprised of the tribe that resisted Deathwing. At Exalted, players can purchase Zügel des braunen Reitkamels or Zügel des hellbraunen Reitkamels, as well as obtain Ramkahen.

Learn more about the Amathet:

The Amathet were originally introduced through a special Island drop, Schillernder Skarabäus, covered in Secret Stories of Battle for Azeroth. Many of the other quest items for Die Mär vom Meer 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 Schallstein and the Mantid.
Die Mär vom Meer is one of the achievements needed for the Islands meta Expeditionsleiter 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 Rajani has unique rewards such as Blitzgeschmiedete Verstärkungsrune, Windfederfederkiel, and essences to enhance your Herz von Azeroth.

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 Arm aus Terrakotta and Versteinerte Peitsche aus Knochen. The dungeon Mogu'shanpalast and raid Mogu'shangewölbe added at Mists of Pandaria's launch provide a closer look at this culture.
Donnergrollen 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: Edikte des Donnerkönigs and Insigne des Donnerkönigs.
Lei Shen died of old age, but was resurrected in Mists of Pandaria. Insel des Donners and Der Thron des Donners were added in Patch 5.2.
Many archaeology solves reference the slavery of the Mogu: Verschlissenes Kassenbuch eines Architekten, Brandeisen eines Kriegsherren, Arm aus Terrakotta, Fesseln der Rebellion, Pandarisches Teeservice
The objects needed for Das Finstere Herz der Mogu give more details on the Mogu’s slavery practices.

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

Ra-den is originally a Heroic-only, limited-attempt boss in the Der Thron des Donners raid.
Die Faust des Ra-den 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:

Das Tal der Ewigen Blüten, 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 Eine himmlische Erfahrung. It is the location of the Alliance and Horde major faction hubs in Pandaria, as well as daily quests with Goldener Lotus and Die Lehrensucher's archaeology hub, not to mention the dungeon Mogu'shanpalast.
Zügel der donnernden Rubinwolkenschlange is a mount from the rare spawn Alani 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 Hüter des Tals 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 Zügel des goldenen Reitkranichs.

Horrific Visions are 1-5 player timed runs that require a Gefäß der verstörenden Visionen to enter. This item can be bought for Manifestierte Visionen from Wrathion.

The more Manifestierte Visionen 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.
