Not a newb question (since I’ve played a while) but a new thing to me:
Endgame
When you are a brandie spanken new 60, where do you go from there? Quest for gold? Which realm first? What are the lower level raids/instances? What’s the progression? I mean I see UBRS/LBRS/NAXX/AQ20-40-60-8000 flashed about all the time in LFG, but what is the baby 60 raid and what’s the “You need X type of gear to even hope you make it out with your left pinky intact.â€
Thanks!

run the 5/10-mans a load until you get some gear from them (like t0 or similar). the t0 set drops in strat, scholo and brs. dire maul has some good gear for most classes too. when you have some nice blue gear together, join a guild/raid that is doing zul gurub and mc or aq20. you will then progress to bwl, aq40 and naxx. if you're not all epic geared, forget aq40 and naxx.
this "natural" progression may be skipped if a well-geared guild would take you along and equip you. new members in our guild normally go from blue to t2, because our lowest scheduled run is bwl. we only do mc, zg and aq20 on off days with a lot of alts. i do not recommend this, because you will miss out content and the learning experience. there is a clear difficulty progression that is not just based on gear.
of the "blue" instances, the easiest are brd (if you want to count that, it's a bit below lvl60) and lbrs. then strat and scholo, then dire maul + ubrs last.
in short: do some lbrs and strat/scholo for experience and gear, then go for dm/ubrs.
