Use this reference for a quick guide for what keys and attunements are worth getting and a quick source for them. This guide isn’t meant to give step by step instructions for each one, so consult a specific, more in-depth guide for the attunement or key you care about.

Keys

Keys are frequently needed to access doors and vaults in World of Warcraft. While most locks can be picked with Lockpicking, some absolutely require a key. Once a key is obtained, it will appear in your inventory, usually in your Key Ring (a special container separate from your bags) if there is room.
