TheWoWDBFor players who are going back through old content, this quest is really easy to complete.
[npc=94870] can send you through the Raid Finder version, which will queue you into a one-man RF version of The Black Gate. It will put you right in front of Archimonde, allowing you to take him out in a couple of hits. Right-click your character portrait, choose "Leave Instance Group", then go turn in the quest.
It quite literally takes about one minute total, you don't even have to leave your garrison. Not bad for 1k [currency=823]s & a handful of gold!

Very meager reward for the new weekly quests, to bad, previous rewards where more rewarding to collect a new set for your spec
If you're that desperate for 1000 Apexis Crystals, this Weekly is just perfect for you!

Description
We've heard rumors that one o' the strongest eredar might enter this world through the Black Gate soon. If these rumors are to be believed, it could even be Archimonde the Defiler. If he arrives unchallenged, Draenor itself is likely to fall.
Getting there
Inside the raid: Hellfire Citadel
When Garrosh encouraged Grommash to begin construction of this massive stronghold at the heart of Tanaan Jungle, to serve as a staging ground for the assault of Azeroth, he even suggested the name Hellfire, pulled from a different time and a different land.
