WoW Forever Dungeons: All 9 New Dungeons and Level Ranges

WoW Forever adds nine new five-player dungeons spread across levels 13 to 60, six in the Eastern Kingdoms and three in Kalimdor. They sit alongside the original dungeons, so you get more group content while leveling and more to do at 60. Here's every one with its level range, location and how to get in, based on Blizzard's official dungeon overview.

Eastern Kingdoms dungeons

Hall of Thanes (13–18)

The burial halls of the dwarven kings lie under Ironforge, and intruders thought to be Dark Iron dwarves have broken in. It's the lowest-level new dungeon. Alliance groups can reach it easily from inside their capital, while Horde groups have to travel deep into Alliance territory.

Ruins of Lordaeron (15–20)

The Forsaken are trying to reclaim the ruined capital above the Undercity, but the Scourge still haunts it and a necromancer is gathering power there. It's the Horde's counterpart to Hall of Thanes: easy to reach from the Undercity, and a trip into enemy land for the Alliance.

Excavation Site (24–29)

Strange mist and flashes of light near Whelgar's Excavation in the Wetlands lead to a place that seems frozen in time. Expect titan constructs and dangerous wildlife, plus an Explorers' League angle in the story. The entrance is near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz.

City of Dalaran (28–33)

The magic barrier around Dalaran in the Alterac Mountains has come down, and the city is full of misfiring enchantments and runaway constructs. This one has an attunement. You have to earn the Kirin Tor's trust before your group can enter through the sewers.

Alliance: start with "An Alarming Request" from Emissary Jacques in Southshore.
Horde: start with "Key to the City" and "Prison Break-In" from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill.

Inside, the group can take different paths and choose between encounters on the way to the final boss.

The Drowned City (35–40)

Old troll ruins have risen from the sea west of Grom'gol, and trolls, naga and the wreck of a pirate ship are waiting. The entrance is underwater, so dive down to find it. It's an open-air dungeon, and the weather turns from mist to rain to a full storm as you get closer to the last boss.

Krol'dok Stronghold (40–45)

Ogres have been kidnapping travelers and raiding settlements across the Riverglades, one of Forever's new zones. Their fortress is a large compound with workshops, camps and guarded interior halls. It fits the Riverglades questing range, which Blizzard puts at roughly the mid-30s to mid-40s.

Kalimdor dungeons

Alcaz Prison (48–53)

Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh has long been rumored to hold important prisoners, King Varian Wrynn among them. In Forever, the prison finally opens, and inside the Defias Brotherhood and the naga are fighting each other.

Blackmaw Hold (55–60)

Behind a gate in Azshara that has been sealed for a long time lies a large furbolg city. The Blackmaw clan is fighting a corruption spreading through its groves and mountain tunnels. Blizzard calls it a substantial max-level dungeon with several routes and bosses. It's also connected to the Barrow Deeps raid, which has an entrance through Blackmaw Hold.

Shaper's Terrace (58–60)

A titan facility in the hills above Un'Goro Crater, with dinosaurs, tar pits and crystals. Bring power crystals from Un'Goro: you use them at consoles inside the dungeon, so the outdoor zone and the dungeon are linked.

How the new dungeons fit with the original ones

The original dungeons are still in the game. Blizzard's notes mention Blackrock Depths, Lower and Upper Blackrock Spire and Maraudon, and the Onyxia attunement still runs through the Blackrock dungeons. The new nine add more choices across the whole level range.

If you're leveling, a rough path through the new dungeons looks like this:

Level 13–20: Hall of Thanes or Ruins of Lordaeron. Each is easiest to reach for one faction.
Level 24–33: Excavation Site, then City of Dalaran once you've done the attunement quests.
Level 35–45: The Drowned City, then Krol'dok Stronghold while questing in the Riverglades.
Level 48–53: Alcaz Prison.
Level 55–60: Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace.

Dungeons and the Legacy System

Dungeons count toward the account-wide Legacy System. There are three dungeon challenges, each worth one Legacy Point:

Defeat the final boss of every dungeon from level 15 to 25
Defeat the final boss of every dungeon from level 26 to 45
Defeat the final boss of every dungeon from level 46 to 60

There's also an Adventure challenge for finishing the Lord Valthalak dungeon set questline. See our Legacy System guide for the rest.

Tips for running Forever dungeons

Build a full group. These are five-player dungeons: one tank, one healer and three damage dealers is the standard setup.
Pick up the quests first. Blizzard says each new dungeon has its own quests, and some start from items that drop inside.
Plan the travel. Hall of Thanes and Ruins of Lordaeron are in enemy capitals for one faction, and on PvP rulesets the trip can be dangerous.
Use campfires before you go in. Sitting at a campsite with profession features for one minute gives buffs like extra Stamina or Strength.
Remember the Dalaran attunement. Do it before your group plans the run.
