Dragons of Nightmare
Phase 5 also comes with four instanced World Bosses - the Nightmare Dragons. These raid bosses reside in a new zone, called the Nightmare Grove, which can be accessed from any of the green dragon portals found throughout Azeroth.
Nightmare Grove Overview & Loot Guide
After entering the Nightmare Grove and defeating a boss, a portal will open, allowing players to progress onto the next encounter. In addition to Tier 2.5 Tokens, these bosses can also drop Tier 2 tokens, Epic Class Trinkets, and profession recipes!
Ahn'Qiraj
The two primary raids of Phase 5 are the 10-player Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and the 20-player Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. In addition to the smaller raid sizes, both of these instances have optional difficulty modes, which can be triggered by obelisks within each raid. This Descent Into Madness allows players to toggle the difficulty of each raid and allows for special Void-Touched weapons to drop.

By completing these raids, players will gain reputation with both the Brood of Nozdormu and the Cenarion Circle. Gaining reputation with the Brood of Nozdormu will grant players access to Epic rings and the Tier 2.5 set pieces, while the Cenarion Circle will allow players to purchase new professions recipes.
