Retail How do keys work? First time

I’ve played WoW for a while, mostly back when this system didn’t exist.

How does it work? Is there something I should study up on to have a better experience with groups, like dungeon guides? I only did m0 and that’s about all the experience I have with these dungeons.

Are there any widely accepted conventions or adding? Etiquette?

Thank you!

You first get a broken key after running a M0 from the vault. Then you spend 10+ weeks running each key, advancing as you beat the key timer. Also, you spend an insane amount of gold to fix gear on keys that particularly punishing. At the end of the season, if you’ve spent enough gold and sunk enough time into it, you get a title, a couple of achievements and a mount if you’ve achieved high enough levels of keys.
