World of Warcraft: Forever launches on November 4 with nine new dungeons, spanning levels 13 through 60. Blizzard detailed all nine in its October 20 dungeon overview, including the level range and location of each one.
Four of them already have full guides on MMONerds, and we’ll add the other five once they open at launch. For the full announcement roundup, see our WoW Classic Plus / Forever hub.
All Nine Dungeons
Two dungeons are built around one faction’s territory. Hall of Thanes sits in the dwarven royal tombs beneath Ironforge, so Horde groups have to travel into Alliance territory to reach it, and Ruins of Lordaeron sits above the Undercity, so Alliance groups have to do the same in reverse.
What Each Dungeon Is About
Hall of Thanes (13-18)
Suspected Dark Iron intruders have broken into the royal tombs of the dwarven kings beneath Ironforge. Read our Hall of Thanes guide for the bosses, quests, and loot.
Ruins of Lordaeron (15-20)
The Forsaken are reclaiming the ruins above the Undercity, where a necromancer is reportedly gathering power. Read our Ruins of Lordaeron guide for the full breakdown.
Excavation Site (24-29)
A strange mist has rolled down from the mountains above Whelgar’s Excavation in the Wetlands, and beyond the dig lies a place that seems frozen in time, guarded by titan constructs and dangerous wildlife. Read our Excavation Site guide for the bosses, quests, and loot.
City of Dalaran (28-33)
The barrier that hid Dalaran has fallen, and magic is running wild inside the city. Both factions enter through the sewers after earning the Kirin Tor’s trust. Read our City of Dalaran guide for the full walkthrough, bosses, and loot.
The Drowned City (35-40)
Ancient troll ruins that were lost beneath the waves have risen off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, with trolls and naga roaming the streets and a wrecked pirate ship nearby. You dive below the water to find the entrance. It’s an open-air dungeon, and the mist and rain build into a full storm before the final fight.
Krol’dok Stronghold (40-45)
Ogre outrunners from this fortress in the Riverglades have been kidnapping travelers, and strange chanting can be heard from inside after nightfall.
Alcaz Prison (48-53)
The long-closed prison on Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh is now held by the Defias Brotherhood, who are fighting the naga for control. Rumor has it that King Varian Wrynn is imprisoned inside.
Blackmaw Hold (55-60)
Behind a long-sealed gate in Azshara lies a furbolg city, where the Blackmaw clan is fighting a spreading corruption. It has multiple routes and bosses, and Blizzard says it may lead deeper below Azeroth.
Shaper’s Terrace (58-60)
A titan facility in the northern hills of Un’Goro Crater. You gather power crystals in Un’Goro and use them at consoles inside.
Tips & Tricks
Plan your leveling route around all nine. With every level range confirmed from 13 through 60, the new dungeons give you a complete alternative path through Forever’s content.
Don’t expect every dungeon to favor one faction evenly. Several, like Hall of Thanes and Ruins of Lordaeron, lean toward one side thematically while still being accessible to both.
