Every Dungeon Quest in WoW Forever

WoW Forever dungeon quests are easiest to complete efficiently when you prepare their prerequisites before entering an instance. Objectives can begin in capitals, leveling zones, class chains, dropped items or another dungeon. Some quests must also be accepted during the run.

WoW Forever launched on November 4, 2026 with a level cap of 60. All nine new Forever dungeons and the Classic dungeon roster are available. This expanded guide covers dungeon quest packages from the first Ragefire Chasm run to level-60 instances, including faction, class, item-start, attunement and follow-up quests.

Which Dungeons Are Available in WoW Forever at Level 60?

The launch removed the old level-30 beta cap. The table includes every launch-era dungeon, treating Scarlet Monastery and Dire Maul as single dungeon groups while keeping their wings separate in the quest sections. The official Forever dungeon announcement gives the intended brackets for all nine new instances.

For routes and bosses, use the WoW Forever Dungeons Guide. Availability and quest pickup level are not the same as a comfortable clearing level.

How Much XP Do Dungeon Quests Give in WoW Forever?

On October 1, Blizzard reduced the extra experience awarded by dungeon quests by 50% beyond normal quest values. This was not an announcement that every dungeon quest's total XP reward had been halved.

On October 8, dungeon creature-kill XP increased by approximately 20%; subsequent launch hotfixes raised dungeon monster-kill XP again by 50%. Individual-level calculations for lower-level enemies in mixed-level parties also changed: an overleveled party member can still affect group eligibility. These kill-XP increases do not reverse the earlier quest-bonus reduction. Consult Blizzard's latest hotfixes for current tuning.

Quests still add equipment, reputation and one-time progression to a run. Repeated clears can also provide kill XP and loot, but their efficiency depends on the group, travel and clear speed. Prepare the first run as follows:

1. Complete outdoor prerequisites.
2. Collect eligible faction and class quests.
3. Choose a level appropriate for the intended route.
4. Check inside-dungeon starts and complete available objectives.
5. Turn in completed quests before choosing another run.

Ragefire Chasm Dungeon Quests

The Horde package starts across three capitals. Finish Thrall's preliminary Hidden Enemies steps before entering, and visit Maur Grimtotem's corpse during the run.

The satchel follow-up is not an independent outdoor pickup. Complete the search at the corpse and accept the return step before leaving.

Hall of Thanes Dungeon Quests

Five quests are documented for this dungeon. The Restless Dead, Old Ironforge Incursion and The Treaty of Understanding are Alliance quests; Important Heirlooms and An Ancient Grudge are listed for both factions. Early pickup levels do not replace the dungeon's intended 13–18 bracket.

The Hall of Thanes Guide covers the entrance, route, bosses and loot. Check the final area for the treaty before leaving.

Ruins of Lordaeron Dungeon Quests

Current references list six Horde and four Alliance entries. Several begin inside, so arriving without outdoor quests does not mean the instance has no objectives for your faction. Blizzard's updated development notes adjusted the dungeon-quest entry levels to 15.

Horde Quests

Collect the four outdoor quests first. Unending Torment and Crest of Lordaeron begin through discoveries inside the instance.

Alliance Quests

Check Captain Truman near the entrance, loot undead enemies and inspect quest objects. General Marcus Jonathan is the turn-in for Bloodied Insignia, rather than its initial dungeon pickup.

The Ruins of Lordaeron Guide covers the route and loot. Each player should check their own quest-start items; earlier sharing and duplicate-item bugs have been fixed.

Wailing Caverns Dungeon Quests

Prepare the Barrens chains and Thunder Bluff pickups before traveling. Leaders of the Fang requires level 15 and its prerequisite chain; The Glowing Shard's item-start requirement is level 10. Neither pickup level guarantees a comfortable full clear.

Defeat all four Fanglords before starting the final escort/event. Mutanus and The Glowing Shard are not available simply by killing the earlier bosses and leaving.

The Deadmines Dungeon Quests

The normal package is mainly Alliance-oriented. Forever adds Destruction in Deadmines, while both factions have Paladin progression that uses dungeon materials.

Complete the outer-mine objectives before entering. For Destruction in Deadmines, use the supplied explosives at the forge and follow the quest's instruction to meet Alba at the exit. Keep VanCleef's letter for the later Stockade chain.

Shadowfang Keep Dungeon Quests

Horde has the main ordinary quest package. Paladins and Warlocks have additional objectives, including the Horde Paladin material step omitted from many Classic-based lists.

The Warlock quest also needs Blackfathom Deeps materials. A Horde Paladin's ingot is near the final boss, so an early partial clear does not complete that objective.

Blackfathom Deeps Dungeon Quests

Faction pickups, dropped notes and class objectives overlap here. Some useful items are obtained in the caves before the portal rather than during a full instance clear.

Taking the Fathom Core triggers Baron Aquanis. Loot his globe if eligible. Horde Paladins can obtain the corrupted gem from appropriate naga around Blackfathom Deeps, including the outer caves; prepare Seeking the Kor Gem first.

The Stockade Dungeon Quests

The ordinary package is Alliance-only. Two important chains begin outside Stormwind, and The Stockade Riots follows VanCleef's letter.

Gnomeregan Dungeon Quests

Alliance has a large package, while Horde can prepare the Booty Bay teleport chain. Scooty's listed minimum of 20 does not remove the level-25 requirement for Rig Wars when that prerequisite is needed.

Techbot is in the outer area. Data Rescue requires successive punch-card upgrades at the corresponding terminals. The Workshop Key opens the rear entrance; the main entrance does not require it. Gnogaine's follow-up can require another visit after turning in the first quest.

Razorfen Kraul Dungeon Quests

This package includes faction quests, neutral objectives and chains leading into Scarlet Monastery or Razorfen Downs.

Scarlet Monastery Dungeon Quests

Quest objectives span the Graveyard, Library, Armory and Cathedral. At the live level-60 cap, the level-33 and level-34 multi-wing quests can be completed normally after their prerequisite chains.

The Scarlet Key is obtained in the Library's final area and opens Armory and Cathedral. Lockpicking 175 is an alternative. Opening a wing does not bypass a quest's pickup level.

Excavation Site: Wetlands Dungeon Quests

Excavation Site is live in Wetlands, with quest pickups from level 24. Prepare the outdoor chains and leave space for quests that begin or continue inside.

The updated Forever quest guide lists Daily Delivery in the Highland Hides prerequisite path; beta accounts also mentioned Young Crocolisk Skins. Check James Halloran's current quest chain. Seeking Caitlin leads into Lost in the Thicket Things.

Razorfen Downs Dungeon Quests

Razorfen Downs is live at the level-60 cap. Access level and quest minimums differ, so prepare the level-32 Belnistrasz sequence and the later faction boss quests.

Every participating player should finish Scourge of the Downs and accept the escort before it starts. The Coldbringer's Eye has also been reported by players as an additional Dalaran-linked objective; confirm the current quest giver before adding it to your required pickup route.

Uldaman Dungeon Quests

Uldaman is fully available through level 60. Quest minimums range from 30 to 40; a level-30 character can pick up early quests but is not ready to finish the entire boss route.

Finish the higher-level quest chains before your full Archaedas clear. The Platinum Discs begin at the Discs of Norgannon after the final boss, so do not leave without inspecting the chamber.

What About the Other New WoW Forever Dungeons?

All nine new instances are available following Blizzard's November 4 launch. Below, the early-dungeon checklists remain in their leveling order and the remaining five new-dungeon quest packages appear alongside the level-35–60 Classic instances. Newly reported high-level quests sometimes lack a reliably documented pickup NPC; these entries are identified explicitly rather than assigning a guessed giver.

City of Dalaran Dungeon Quests

Four main entries are documented for each faction. Prepare Alliance's An Alarming Request before Heart of Disruption. Horde's access progression starts with Prison Break In and Key to the City at Magus Wordeen Voidglare, continues through Dalaran Patrols and Blood in the Streets, and reaches Heart of Disruption at the Image of Archmage Modera.

Heart of Disruption supplies the Dalaran Sewer Key; one keyholder can open the locked group entrance. Current quest lists classify Starving Arcane as Alliance. The updated level-30 Alliance requirement is important when assembling a quest group; not every item objective will finish for every player in one clear.

The Drowned City Dungeon Quests

Prepare the Stranglethorn and Southshore storylines before entering this new level-35–40 dungeon. Both factions also have quests started in Booty Bay or faction capitals; the neutral Saltseer pair can be collected by either side.

Players who skip the zone chains can miss the faction's main rewards. Complete the Krazek pickups together, then inspect available inside-instance objectives before leaving the flooded route.

Zul'Farrak Dungeon Quests

Zul'Farrak has shared Gadgetzan objectives, one main faction-specific story on each side, and the optional Gahz'rilla encounter. For Gahz'rilla, prepare the Mallet of Zul'Farrak beforehand; the mallet is an encounter-summoning item, not an entrance key.

Most quest givers are outside the instance, so collect their quests before flying to Tanaris. The troll event and Gahz'rilla summon are separate steps.

Maraudon Dungeon Quests

Orange, purple and inner Maraudon routes do not all finish the same quest package. The Scepter of Celebras unlocks a useful shortcut after Legends of Maraudon, while Seed of Life starts only after Princess Theradras is defeated.

Class and faction versions of the same quest count as different pickups, not two quests for one character. Plan purple and orange objectives first, then continue into the Princess route.

Krol'dok Stronghold Dungeon Quests

In the new Riverglades instance, faction questlines lead into the stronghold and its bosses. Live quest trackers document several pickups; where the actual giver is still unlisted, use the in-game quest log rather than an invented NPC location.

The Compound Key is not necessarily required to enter the instance; it is a quest-chain item. The live tracker also lists Curios of Curiosity, but its reliable giver and steps are not yet established. Check the Riverglades quest hub before traveling.

Temple of Atal'Hakkar (Sunken Temple) Dungeon Quests

This Swamp of Sorrows dungeon links outdoor chains, a special Avatar of Hakkar summon and major class quests. At least one party member should prepare Yeh'kinya's summoning scroll for the Avatar route.

Finish the summoning chain before the trip if you need the Avatar of Hakkar. Class objectives are character-specific and should be checked independently; they are not automatically offered at the instance entrance.

Blackrock Depths (BRD) Dungeon Quests

BRD has separate prison, bar, Foundry, Emperor and Molten Core attunement objectives. Its route is long; a full quest run may require several visits. At least one group member needs the Shadowforge Key for locked routes, although Lockpicking 280 is an alternative.

For a quest-focused BRD run, split prison/attunement and Emperor/bar objectives instead of promising a one-clear completion. Share the dungeon route with a group using WoW Forever dungeon runs as the service reference for difficult full clears.

Alcaz Prison Dungeon Quests

Alcaz Prison is a new level-48–53 instance on Alcaz Island. The longest currently documented story is Horde-only and involves rescuing Kor'kron prisoners. The Alliance quest starts from a dropped journal after the last boss.

Horde outdoor leads include The Missing Kor'kron and related Brackenwall objectives; check the chain before entering. The Perfumed Note and the Alliance journal are easy to miss if the group exits as soon as Blazeroar falls.

Lower Blackrock Spire (LBRS) Dungeon Quests

LBRS begins the Seal of Ascension chain for Upper Blackrock Spire, while its Horde and Alliance outdoor pickups point toward different bosses. Pick up Bijou's follow-up inside and inspect Overlord Wyrmthalak's command drop.

Seal of Ascension is not a normal quest sharing shortcut: players must complete its item and forging steps. One prepared player can grant the group access to Upper Spire.

Dire Maul Dungeon Quests: East, West and North

Dire Maul is three separate wings with different objectives. East contains the Felvine and Pusillin quests; West covers Immol'thar and rare book rewards; North adds the Gordok tribute run and quests that must be handled carefully to preserve the tribute.

Dire Maul East Quests

Prepare both faction versions of Lethtendris's Web and the neutral quests; some objectives need a later return to Moonglade.

Dire Maul West Quests

The West wing's mandatory boss route is separate from East, and book drops are not guaranteed on every visit.

Dire Maul North Quests

Tribute runs are different from ordinary full clears: avoid killing important guards before King Gordok if you want the full tribute.

A Crescent Key opens the West and North wings; Lockpicking 300 can substitute. Dungeon-specific book quests and Libram turn-ins may add class or item requirements outside this core checklist.

Scholomance Dungeon Quests

Scholomance in Western Plaguelands has some of Classic's longest dungeon quest chains. A Skeleton Key opens the entrance, while Spectral Essence helps with nearby Caer Darrow interactions. Groups should plan prerequisites before attempting Krastinov, Kirtonos or Ras Frostwhisper.

Bring the quest items from earlier steps; a boss kill without the required stage active will not complete later follow-ups. Use the Forever reputation services as a related reference for Argent Dawn progression.

Stratholme Dungeon Quests: Living and Undead

Stratholme's Living and Undead routes contain different quest objectives. The Scarlet Key helps open the Scarlet Hold and the Key to the City opens the side entrance; Lockpicking 275 can replace those doors.

Stratholme Living Side Quests

Collect the Light's Hope Chapel quests first and keep the Balnazzar follow-up for after The Archivist.

Stratholme Undead Side Quests

Several quests here only unlock after finishing Living-side or Eastern Plaguelands storylines. Prepare the Baron route separately if your group is farming Rivendare.

Do not confuse a Key to the City with the Scarlet Key. Complete the Living-side prerequisite before attempting Aurius' Reckoning and the later Baron objectives.

Upper Blackrock Spire (UBRS) Dungeon Quests

Upper Blackrock Spire is tied to the Seal of Ascension from LBRS, the Onyxia attunement story and class-specific rewards. A group member needs a completed Seal of Ascension to enter; collecting seal fragments alone is not enough.

Keep Onyxia and Blackwing Lair attunement quests separate from ordinary boss-kill quests. Some stages require a return to a capital or a different raid entrance.

Blackmaw Hold Dungeon Quests

This new level-55–60 Azshara dungeon has outdoor faction pickups and inside-object farming. Current player-tracked records confirm quest names, but not every giver; check in-game offers rather than relying on an unverified location.

The quest tracker lists faction-specific versions separately. Inventory and quest-item counts are important here: the root-cap objective requires ten, and the claws/tusks are separate items.

Shaper's Terrace Dungeon Quests

Shaper's Terrace is the new 58–60 Un'Goro Crater dungeon. Crystal interactions are central to its route. The publicly documented quest set is still being populated from live player reports, so do not assume the known Horde pickups are Alliance-accessible.

Bring your outdoor Un'Goro crystal preparations before the boss route. The official dungeon overview describes the crystal-console mechanics, while the current faction quest availability must be checked for the character entering.

What Is the Best Level to Run Each Dungeon?

These are practical planning brackets for a first full quest run at the live level-60 cap, not hard entry requirements or speed-run benchmarks. A quest's minimum pickup level is often several levels below the enemies inside the instance.

Combine nearby instances with the Alliance Leveling Guide or Horde Leveling Guide to reduce travel. The separate WoW Forever leveling support page covers a different service for players planning their route through the endgame.

Which Dungeon Quests Need Keys, Items or Prerequisites?

Prepare these requirements before assembling the group. Keys can open a route, but they do not bypass quest level, faction or class restrictions.

• Hidden Enemies: finish Thrall's preliminary steps.
• Old Ironforge Incursion: complete the map progression.
• Leaders of the Fang: prepare the chain beginning with The Forgotten Pools.
• Destruction in Deadmines: progress Alba's chain and bring the supplied explosives.
• The Defias Brotherhood: complete the Westfall prerequisites.
• The Unsent Letter: keep the item for The Stockade Riots.
• Amongst the Ruins: the Fathom Core triggers Baron Aquanis.
• Chief Engineer Scooty: prepare Rig Wars and the teleport chain.
• Workshop Key: opens Gnomeregan's rear entrance; Lockpicking 150 is an alternative.
• Going, Going, Guano!: unlocks Hearts of Zeal.
• An Unholy Alliance: begins in RFK and continues toward RFD.
• Scarlet Key: opens Armory, Cathedral and Stratholme's Scarlet Hold; Lockpicking 175 works in Scarlet Monastery.
• Excavation Site: prepare Dragonmaw Rumors, the Greenwarden chain and relevant Alliance pickups.
• Dalaran Sewer Key: obtained during Heart of Disruption; prepare the appropriate faction chain.
• Uldaman: prepare outdoor chains rather than expecting portal-side sharing.
• Gahz'rilla: obtain the Mallet of Zul'Farrak to summon the optional boss.
• The Drowned City: finish The Vile Reef (Horde) or the Southshore troll chain (Alliance).
• Krol'dok Stronghold: the Krol'dok Compound Key is made through Key Ingredients; its presence is not an established instance-entry requirement.
• Maraudon: complete Legends of Maraudon and The Scepter of Celebras for the inner shortcut.
• Sunken Temple: prepare Yeh'kinya's Hakkar summon and any class-specific chain.
• Blackrock Depths: get the Shadowforge Key through Dark Iron Legacy as a ghost; Lockpicking 280 can work.
• Alcaz Prison: check both the Perfumed Note and Zarla's Journal after Blazeroar.
• Upper Blackrock Spire: make a Seal of Ascension in LBRS.
• Dire Maul: Crescent Key opens West and North; Lockpicking 300 can substitute. Tribute quests require special routing.
• Scholomance: bring the Skeleton Key or a qualified opener; Spectral Essence may be needed for associated NPC interactions.
• Stratholme: the Scarlet Key and Key to the City open different paths; Lockpicking 275 may substitute.
• Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace: inspect faction quest hubs and crystal or item starts before clearing.

Paladin and Warlock material quests can span multiple instances. Check the entire objective list before planning a single-dungeon trip.

Can Dungeon Quests Be Shared?

Sharing depends on each quest's current implementation. Eligible NPC quests may be shareable; item starts, supplied-item quests and class chains can have restrictions.

Beta fixes removed unintended sharing from some quests that grant items on acceptance or begin from items. Use the live quest-log option, and check prerequisite completion on each character.

Collect important quests personally before traveling. For escorts, make sure every eligible player has accepted the quest before anyone starts the event.

How to Prepare a Full Dungeon Quest Run

A prepared run should cover outdoor pickups, inside starts and follow-ups that need another visit.

1. Choose the dungeon and a realistic clearing level.
2. Check faction and class eligibility.
3. Finish prerequisite chains.
4. Collect quests and supplied tools.
5. Identify outside-cave and inside-instance objectives.
6. Check keys and access chains.
7. Leave quest-log and bag space for new starts and items.
8. Before an escort, confirm everyone's acceptance.
9. Check all remaining objectives before leaving.
10. Turn in quests and collect follow-ups before deciding on a repeat.

One prepared clear can finish many objectives, but it cannot bypass an outdoor turn-in between chain steps or guarantee enough collection drops for the whole party.

Dungeon Quest Mistakes to Avoid

Most missed objectives come from incomplete preparation or confusing quest requirements with dungeon difficulty.

• Skipping prerequisites: sharing does not bypass them.
• Using pickup level as clear level: especially misleading for Uldaman and Razorfen Downs.
• Ignoring item starts: loot and inspect letters, heads, notes and relics.
• Deleting chain items: check follow-ups before discarding them.
• Forgetting class objectives: both Paladin factions have relevant Forever steps.
• Missing outer-cave quests: some Deadmines, Wailing Caverns and BFD objectives are outside the portal.
• Starting escorts too early: everyone must accept first.
• Assuming all quests fit one clear: outdoor follow-ups and collection counts can require another visit.
• Using old XP advice: both October adjustments and November launch hotfixes changed dungeon kill XP.
• Trusting unconfirmed NPC names: live quest trackers for the newest high-level dungeons are still collecting locations; check offers in game.
• Overfilling the log or bags: keep room for inside starts.

WoW Forever Dungeon Quest FAQ

These answers address additional preparation limits.

Did Blizzard halve every dungeon quest's total XP?
No. The October 1 change reduced the extra bonus beyond normal quest values. Dungeon creature-kill XP increased separately in October and again after launch.

Can I prepare City of Dalaran quests now?
Yes. The dungeon is live. Horde quest pickups begin around level 24, while Heart of Disruption and Starving Arcane have higher level-30 Alliance requirements.

Does a key unlock another player's quests?
No. A keyholder can open a locked entrance, but each character still needs the required level, faction, class and prerequisites.

Are all nine new WoW Forever dungeons available?
Yes. They launched with the level-60 game. Some newest high-level quest giver locations are still being cataloged by player-maintained databases; check the live quest log.

What should I run at level 60?
Dire Maul, Scholomance, Stratholme, Upper Blackrock Spire, Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace have relevant endgame objectives. BRD and LBRS also feed attunement chains.

Conclusion

With all Classic and nine new Forever dungeons live through level 60, a complete dungeon-quest route means more than grabbing a boss quest. Prepare every faction and class chain, bring required keys and summoning items, inspect inside starts, and return for follow-ups when the chain demands it. Use the live quest log to confirm newly discovered high-level pickups, then match the run to your group's actual clearing level.
