Willo
WoW Forever adds nine new dungeons on top of the original ones: Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Excavation Site: Wetlands, City of Dalaran, The Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison, Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace. They run from Hall of Thanes at levels 13 to 18, under Ironforge, to Shaper's Terrace at 58 to 60, in Un'Goro Crater. Two new raids on Mount Hyjal arrive December 9.

All nine at a glance
Level ranges are from Blizzard's own list. Locations are from Blizzard where it named them, otherwise from guide sites that agree.
| Dungeon | Levels | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | 13–18 | Beneath Ironforge |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 15–20 | The ruined capital above the Undercity, Tirisfal Glades |
| Excavation Site: Wetlands | 24–29 (later 26–31) | Above Whelgar's Excavation Site, Wetlands |
| City of Dalaran | 28–33 | Dalaran, Alterac Mountains |
| The Drowned City | 35–40 | Stranglethorn Vale |
| Krol'dok Stronghold | 40–45 | The Riverglades |
| Alcaz Prison | 48–53 | Alcaz Island, Dustwallow Marsh |
| Blackmaw Hold | 55–60 | Azshara |
| Shaper's Terrace | 58–60 | Un'Goro Crater |
Blizzard first listed Excavation Site: Wetlands at 24–29, then its October 1 beta notes gave 26–31. Always check the in-game recommendation before you travel.
What's each one about?
What Blizzard has teased so far, plus where each one sits:
- Hall of Thanes: a dungeon beneath the dwarven capital. Hall of Thanes quests
- Ruins of Lordaeron: help the Forsaken reclaim their old capital. Every Ruins of Lordaeron quest
- Excavation Site: Wetlands: a mysterious dig above Whelgar's Excavation Site.
- City of Dalaran: strange magical trouble in the city of mages.
- The Drowned City: naga and pirates.
- Krol'dok Stronghold: in the new frontier region, the Riverglades.
- Alcaz Prison: on Alcaz Island, off Dustwallow Marsh.
- Blackmaw Hold: corruption spreading in its depths.
- Shaper's Terrace: tied to Un'Goro's titan mysteries.
That's a lot of "mysterious." I like mysterious. Blizzard hasn't shared full stories for most of these yet, so we won't make them up.
Are the old dungeons still there?
Yes. The new ones are added to the original dungeons, like the Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep and the Scarlet Monastery, which Blizzard's beta notes listed as open.
What about raids?
| Raid | Size | When |
|---|---|---|
| Barrow Deeps | 10 players, max level | December 9 |
| Hyjal Summit | 20 players, new tier sets | December 9 |
Blizzard also plans more raids and dungeons later, including a revamped iconic raid.
Can I run them with friends on another ruleset?
No. Your group needs the same ruleset and faction. Hall of Thanes sits in Alliance Ironforge and the Ruins of Lordaeron in Horde Tirisfal, so one side has a longer trip to each. Which faction should I choose?
Heading in? Ask me "What level is Alcaz Prison?" or "Where's the Drowned City entrance?" With the free Lore Forever add-on and Live game info on, I'll also warn you when foes are five or more levels above you.
