Every Dungeon Quest in WoW Forever

WoW Forever dungeon quests are most valuable when you collect the full quest package before entering an instance. Many objectives begin in capital cities, leveling zones, earlier quest chains, class quests, dropped items, or even another dungeon, so simply walking through the portal can leave a large part of the run unfinished.

The current Forever beta is capped at level 30 and currently exposes Ragefire Chasm, Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron, Wailing Caverns, The Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep, The Stockade, Blackfathom Deeps, Gnomeregan, Razorfen Kraul, Scarlet Monastery, Excavation Site: Wetlands, Razorfen Downs, and Uldaman. This guide lists the verified quest preparation for that current beta range and tracks later Forever dungeons separately until their quests can be tested.

Which Dungeons Are Currently Available in the WoW Forever Beta?

Blizzard raised the beta cap to level 30 on October 1 and expanded the test roster considerably. Excavation Site: Wetlands is the newest Forever dungeon available in this build, with an official dungeon range of levels 26–31. City of Dalaran is not enabled in the current public beta build.

For the full nine-new-dungeon progression from Hall of Thanes through Shaper's Terrace, use the WoW Forever Dungeons Guide.

How Much XP Do Dungeon Quests Give in WoW Forever?

Dungeon quests remain important, but their beta XP tuning changed on October 1. Blizzard reduced the extra Forever XP granted by dungeon quests by 50% beyond their normal quest values. The underlying normal quest reward was not simply cut in half.

This makes the intended strategy clearer: dungeon quests are still worth preparing because they combine experience with equipment, reputation and progression, but repeatedly entering a dungeon without new quests is much less attractive as a pure leveling method.

The most efficient use of a dungeon is therefore usually the first properly prepared run:

1. Complete required outdoor prerequisites.
2. Collect every quest your faction and class can use.
3. Enter close to the dungeon's practical level range.
4. Complete as many objectives as possible in one clear.
5. Turn in the full package before deciding whether gear farming justifies another run.

Ragefire Chasm Dungeon Quests

Ragefire Chasm is the first major Horde dungeon package and is easiest to stack once you have completed the early Orgrimmar prerequisite chain for Hidden Enemies.

The most valuable preparation mistake to avoid is arriving without Hidden Enemies. It is not simply picked up at the dungeon portal; the preceding steps must already be completed.

Hall of Thanes Dungeon Quests

Hall of Thanes currently has five documented dungeon quests. The Restless Dead, Old Ironforge Incursion and The Treaty of Understanding are Alliance-only, while Important Heirlooms and An Ancient Grudge are available to both factions in the current beta.

The dedicated Hall of Thanes Guide covers the entrance, route, bosses and current loot separately. This page only tracks how to arrive with the correct quest package.

Ruins of Lordaeron Dungeon Quests

Ruins of Lordaeron is unusually quest-heavy because Horde and Alliance receive separate objective sets. Current beta coverage documents six Horde quests and four Alliance quests.

Horde Quests

Horde should collect the four outside quests before traveling to the instance; Unending Torment and Crest of Lordaeron begin inside.

Alliance Quests

Alliance objectives are picked up inside or through items found within the dungeon, so an Alliance group should actively check the entrance and quest-start objects rather than expect a normal capital-city package.

The Ruins of Lordaeron Guide has the boss route and tested beta loot.

Wailing Caverns Dungeon Quests

Wailing Caverns has several quests from different parts of the Barrens and Thunder Bluff, making it easy to miss part of the package if you travel directly to the cave.

The Deadmines Dungeon Quests

The Deadmines is primarily an Alliance quest dungeon, with several objectives tied to the Defias story. Forever also adds the Alliance-only Destruction in Deadmines objective through the Toxic Soil storyline, while Paladin class progression adds separate dungeon objectives.

The Unsent Letter is especially important because it connects Deadmines preparation to a later Stockade quest. Do not vendor or ignore the quest-start item from VanCleef. Also prepare the Forever-only Destruction in Deadmines chain: it requires level 9, comes from Alba Fairmoon's Toxic Soil storyline, and eventually sends you to plant Extra-Destructive Explosives at the forge inside the dungeon.

Shadowfang Keep Dungeon Quests

Shadowfang Keep remains strongly Horde-oriented, but class quests can bring Alliance Paladins and Warlocks into the instance for specific objectives.

Blackfathom Deeps Dungeon Quests

Blackfathom Deeps has one of the more complicated early quest packages because faction quests, class quests, dropped quest items and follow-ups overlap inside the same run.

Amongst the Ruins is worth preparing correctly because taking the Fathom Core also enables the Baron Aquanis sequence.

The Stockade Dungeon Quests

The Stockade quest package is Alliance-only and rewards players who prepare several outdoor quest chains before entering Stormwind's prison.

Gnomeregan Dungeon Quests

Gnomeregan has one of the largest quest packages in the current level-30 beta. Horde also has a dedicated teleport-access chain, so preparation differs considerably by faction.

Razorfen Kraul Dungeon Quests

Razorfen Kraul connects directly into later dungeon progression because some of its quests unlock follow-ups in Scarlet Monastery and Razorfen Downs.

Scarlet Monastery Dungeon Quests

Scarlet Monastery is a multi-wing dungeon hub, so several quests span multiple wings while others belong specifically to Graveyard or Library. With the beta capped at 30, not every high-level quest in the package is currently obtainable.

The Scarlet Key remains relevant for later wings: Armory and Cathedral require a group member with the key, Lockpicking 175, or another valid lock-opening method when those wings become relevant to the character.

Excavation Site: Wetlands Dungeon Quests

Excavation Site opened for testing with the October 1 level-30 beta update. Blizzard lists the dungeon itself as level 26–31. Current beta references already expose a provisional set of level-24 dungeon quests, but several starts, faction restrictions and prerequisites are still explicitly being verified.

That distinction matters: level 24 is currently seen on several quest requirements, while 26–31 is Blizzard's official dungeon range for this build. The available quest data should therefore not be presented as a fully verified final package yet, and unrelated outdoor Wetlands quests should not be labeled dungeon quests simply because they occur near Whelgar's Excavation.

Razorfen Downs Dungeon Quests

Razorfen Downs is accessible for beta testing from level 25, but several of its normal quest requirements are above the current level-30 cap. The table is therefore useful mainly as preparation for later testing and launch.

Uldaman Dungeon Quests

Uldaman is available in the level-30 beta build from level 30, but most of its complete quest package requires characters above the current cap. Only the early quest preparation can currently be tested on a normal capped character.

At the current level-30 cap, do not delay beta progression trying to assemble a quest package that requires level 33–40. The full Uldaman quest-loaded run becomes relevant only after the cap increases or at launch.

What About the Other New WoW Forever Dungeons?

Forever launches with nine new dungeons, but only Hall of Thanes, Ruins of Lordaeron and Excavation Site: Wetlands are currently open among those nine new instances. Publishing full quest tables for the remaining new dungeons would require guessing from incomplete database records, so their quest sections should be added only when Blizzard makes them testable.

This page should be expanded as each new dungeon opens rather than filling the missing rows with unverified placeholders.

What Is the Best Level to Run Each Dungeon?

The quest's minimum level is not always the best level for a smooth full clear. A practical first run usually happens closer to the middle of the dungeon's effective range, especially when you want to complete every boss objective in one attempt.

Alliance players can combine these instances with the Alliance Leveling Guide, while Horde players can use the Horde Leveling Guide to avoid unnecessary cross-continent travel.

Which Dungeon Quests Need Keys, Items or Prerequisites?

The easiest quests to miss are not the ones with difficult objectives; they are the ones that cannot be picked up when your group is already standing at the portal.

• Hidden Enemies: complete the preceding Thrall steps before Ragefire Chasm.
• Old Ironforge Incursion: prepare its map-related prerequisite before Hall of Thanes.
• Leaders of the Fang: requires earlier Horde progression before Wailing Caverns.
• Destruction in Deadmines: progress Alba Fairmoon's Toxic Soil storyline before the dungeon step becomes available.
• The Defias Brotherhood: finish the Westfall chain before the Deadmines boss run.
• The Unsent Letter: keep VanCleef's item because it leads into The Stockade Riots.
• Amongst the Ruins: connects to the Baron Aquanis summon chain in Blackfathom Deeps.
• Chief Engineer Scooty: Horde must progress the Gnomeregan access chain.
• Going, Going, Guano!: leads into Hearts of Zeal in Scarlet Monastery.
• An Unholy Alliance: begins in Razorfen Kraul and continues toward Razorfen Downs.
• Scarlet Key: normally opens the locked Scarlet Monastery wings; Lockpicking 175 or another valid lock-opening method can also work.
• Uldaman chains: several important quests require multiple outdoor prerequisite steps before a full quest-loaded run.

For long prerequisite chains, preparing before group formation is considerably more efficient than making four other players wait while one character travels between zones.

Can Dungeon Quests Be Shared?

Shareability depends on the quest. Normal NPC-start quests may support sharing, while quests that begin from dropped items, interactable objects, escort NPCs or class-specific chains often have their own restrictions.

Forever beta updates have already changed quest-item behavior, including fixes for quests that incorrectly allowed sharing when an item was granted on start and quests that begin from items. Because of that ongoing tuning, use the live quest-log Share Quest option as the final authority rather than assuming that a Classic-era quest remains shareable in Forever.

The safest group rule is simple: every player should personally collect important prerequisite quests before travel. Sharing should be a backup, not the group's entire preparation plan.

How to Prepare a Full Dungeon Quest Run

A quest-loaded run should minimize travel and avoid discovering halfway through the dungeon that the party lacks a required objective.

1. Choose the dungeon and verify your character level.
2. Check faction-specific quests first.
3. Complete prerequisite chains before forming the group.
4. Collect class quests that use the same dungeon.
5. Identify item-start or inside-dungeon quests so they are not missed during the clear.
6. Check whether the dungeon requires a key or other access item.
7. Leave enough quest-log space for quests that begin inside the instance.
8. Complete the full route once before deciding whether repeating the dungeon for loot is worthwhile.

This is especially important in Ruins of Lordaeron, Gnomeregan, Scarlet Monastery and Uldaman, where the complete preparation can span several zones or quest chains.

Dungeon Quest Mistakes to Avoid

Most wasted dungeon runs happen before the group enters the instance.

• Entering before collecting prerequisites: many dungeon quests cannot simply be shared at the portal.
• Using the minimum quest level as the recommended clear level: those are different numbers, especially in new Forever dungeons.
• Ignoring item-start quests: VanCleef's letter, dropped notes and similar items can unlock later progression.
• Deleting quest items after a dungeon: some of them begin follow-up chains in another instance.
• Forgetting class quests: Paladin, Warlock and Mage progression intersects with several dungeons.
• Assuming Classic quest behavior is unchanged: Forever is actively adjusting quest XP, rewards, sharing and dungeon progression.
• Using unreleased new-dungeon data as final: City of Dalaran and the higher-level Forever instances still need public beta verification.
• Overfilling the quest log: leave room for quests and item starts found inside the dungeon.

WoW Forever Dungeon Quest FAQ

These answers cover common preparation questions that do not need separate route sections.

Did Blizzard cut all dungeon quest XP by 50%?
No. The October 1 development notes say dungeon quests now give 50% less extra experience above normal quest values. The normal base quest value itself was not described as being cut in half.

Is City of Dalaran available for dungeon quests yet?
No. City of Dalaran is not among the dungeons enabled in the October 1 public beta build, so its dungeon quest package is not yet verified.

Should I run a dungeon if I missed half the quests?
You can, but the first run usually has more value when the group has prepared the full available quest package. If the missing quests require only a short prerequisite chain, completing them first is generally more efficient.

Are higher-level Classic dungeon quests already final for Forever?
No. Existing Classic quest data is useful for preparation, but Forever can change rewards, XP, sharing, class interactions and prerequisites. High-level sections should be rechecked when the beta cap reaches them.

Conclusion

Dungeon quests are most efficient when treated as preparation rather than something to discover after entering the instance. Stack every faction and class objective you can, complete prerequisite chains before forming the group, leave space for item-start quests, and aim for one complete quest-loaded run. As the Forever beta moves beyond level 30, the remaining new dungeons and high-level Classic quest packages should be added only after their current versions are testable.
