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.
The beta remains capped at level 30 following the October 8 update. City of Dalaran has joined the available dungeon roster, alongside Excavation Site: Wetlands and the previously opened instances. This guide separates current beta preparation from higher-level quest references that cannot yet be fully tested at the cap.
Short answer: Prepare outdoor prerequisites, collect your faction and class quests, and check for additional starts inside the dungeon. The October 1 reduction affected extra dungeon-quest XP; the October 8 increase instead applies to XP from killing dungeon creatures.
Which Dungeons Are Currently Available in the WoW Forever Beta?
The level cap increased to 30 on October 1 and remains unchanged in the October 8 development notes. City of Dalaran opened on October 8. Dungeon access, intended difficulty and minimum quest levels are separate requirements.

For the nine new instances and their announced progression brackets, use the WoW Forever Dungeons Guide.
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%. Blizzard also restored individual-level calculations for lower-level enemies in mixed-level parties. A party member vastly above an enemy's level can still prevent the entire group from receiving kill XP. These changes do not announce a reversal of the earlier quest-bonus reduction.
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:
- Complete outdoor prerequisites.
- Collect eligible faction and class quests.
- Choose a level appropriate for the intended route.
- Check inside-dungeon starts and complete available objectives.
- 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.
| Quest | Min level | Faction | Pickup | Requirement / note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slaying the Beast | 9 | Horde | Neeru Fireblade, Orgrimmar /way 49 50 | Defeat Taragaman the Hungerer |
| The Power to Destroy... | 9 | Horde | Varimathras, Undercity /way 56 92 | Collect both Shadow Council books |
| Testing an Enemy's Strength | 9 | Horde | Rahauro, Thunder Bluff /way 70 30 | Kill the required Ragefire enemies |
| Searching for the Lost Satchel | 9 | Horde | Rahauro, Thunder Bluff /way 70 30 | Find Maur Grimtotem's corpse |
| Returning the Lost Satchel | 9 | Horde | Maur Grimtotem's corpse inside RFC | Follow-up; return the satchel to Rahauro |
| Hidden Enemies | 9 | Horde | Thrall, Orgrimmar /way 31 37 | Complete the preceding chain |
The satchel follow-up is not an independent outdoor pickup. Complete the search at the corpse and accept the return step before leaving.

View All WoW Forever ServicesHall 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.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Requirement / start type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Important Heirlooms | 10 | Thom Filch, Old Ironforge /way 32.6 44.6 | Both factions; collect 8 Dwarven Heirlooms |
| The Restless Dead | 10 | Afadra Dunwall, Old Ironforge | Alliance |
| Old Ironforge Incursion | 9 | Earthseer Farsen, Gol'Golar Quarry | Alliance; complete the Dark Iron Map / Underground Map progression |
| The Treaty of Understanding | 9 | Tablet in the Reliquary of Kings | Alliance; inside-dungeon object start |
| An Ancient Grudge | 10 | Ghostly Attendant, Anvilmar's Rest | Both factions; inside-dungeon start |
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.
Horde Quests
Collect the four outdoor quests first. Unending Torment and Crest of Lordaeron begin through discoveries inside the instance.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Wrath of Rath'mael | 15 | Deathguard Kristof, Tirisfal Glades /way 65.2 60.2 | Defeat Rath'mael |
| A Frightened Request | 15 | Tabitha Heartweaver, The Sepulcher /way 44.6 42.8 | Silverpine Forest pickup |
| Light's Justice | 15 | Morbin Lightbane, Undercity /way 57.8 89.8 | Outdoor pickup |
| The New Plague | 16 | Theodore Griffs, Undercity /way 47.0 72.6 | Outdoor pickup |
| Unending Torment | 16 | Abominable Head from the Baron | Item start; take the head to Faranell in Undercity |
| Crest of Lordaeron | 16 | Crest object inside the dungeon | Check possible object locations |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Start | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abominable Creatures | 16 | Captain Truman inside the entrance | Return the Head of the Baron to him |
| Bloodied Insignia | 16 | Quest-start drop from undead enemies | Collect 10; turn in to General Marcus Jonathan in Stormwind |
| Crest of Lordaeron | 16 | Crest object inside the dungeon | Alliance version |
| Remember That I Love You | 15 | Blood-Stained Letter near Rath'mael | Inside-dungeon item/object start |
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 has a minimum requirement of 10 in the current Forever database, but its prerequisite chain and dungeon difficulty still matter.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Prerequisite / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serpentbloom | 14 | Apothecary Zamah, Thunder Bluff /way 34 21 | Horde; collect Serpentbloom |
| Smart Drinks | 13 | Mebok Mizzyrix, Ratchet /way 62 37 | Neutral; complete Raptor Horns |
| Trouble at the Docks | 14 | Crane Operator Bigglefuzz, Ratchet /way 63 37 | Neutral; defeat Mad Magglish in the outer caves |
| Deviate Hides | 13 | Nalpak above the entrance /way 46 35 | Neutral |
| Deviate Eradication | 15 | Ebru above the entrance /way 46 35 | Neutral |
| The Glowing Shard | 15 | Mutanus the Devourer's drop | Item start after the Disciple of Naralex event |
| Leaders of the Fang | 10 | Nara Wildmane, Thunder Bluff /way 45 23 | Horde; chain begins with The Forgotten Pools |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Prerequisite / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collecting Memories | 14 | Wilder Thistlenettle, Stormwind /way 65 21 | Alliance; undead in the outer mines |
| Oh Brother... | 15 | Wilder Thistlenettle, Stormwind /way 65 21 | Alliance; Foreman Thistlenettle outside the instance portal |
| Underground Assault | 15 | Shoni the Shilent, Stormwind /way 55 13 | Alliance; Sneed's Shredder objective |
| Red Silk Bandanas | 14 | Scout Riell, Sentinel Hill /way 56 47 | Alliance; Defias prerequisites |
| The Defias Brotherhood | 14 | Gryan Stoutmantle, Sentinel Hill /way 56 47 | Alliance; complete the Westfall chain |
| The Unsent Letter | 16 | Edwin VanCleef's drop | Leads toward The Stockade Riots |
| The Test of Righteousness | 20 | Jordan Stilwell, Ironforge /way 52 36 | Alliance Paladin; collect Whitestone Oak Lumber |
| A Moon-Kissed Blade | 20 | Lumina Windsinger, The Sepulcher /way 43 40 | Horde Paladin; Whitestone Oak Lumber is among the materials |
| Destruction in Deadmines | 9 | Alba Fairmoon's Westfall chain | Alliance; prepare the Toxic Soil storyline and explosives |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Faction / class | Pickup |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Book of Ur | 16 | Horde | Keeper Bel'dugur, Undercity /way 53 54 |
| Deathstalkers in Shadowfang | 18 | Horde | High Executor Hadrec, The Sepulcher /way 43 41 |
| Arugal Must Die | 18 | Horde | Dalar Dawnweaver, The Sepulcher /way 44 39 |
| The Orb of Soran'ruk | 20 | Warlock | Doan Karhan, The Barrens /way 49 57 |
| The Test of Righteousness | 20 | Alliance Paladin | Jordan Stilwell; recover Jordan's Smithing Hammer |
| A Moon-Kissed Blade | 20 | Horde Paladin | Lumina Windsinger; collect the Enchanted Silver Ingot near Arugal |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Faction / class | Preparation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge in the Deeps | 10 | Alliance | Gerrig Bonegrip, Ironforge /way 50 5 |
| Researching the Corruption | 18 | Alliance | Gershala Nightwhisper, Auberdine /way 38 43 |
| Twilight Falls | 20 | Alliance | Argent Guard Manados, Darnassus /way 55 24 |
| In Search of Thaelrid | 18 | Alliance | Dawnwatcher Shaedlass, Darnassus /way 55 24 |
| Blackfathom Villainy | 18 | Faction versions | Argent Guard Thaelrid inside; Alliance first completes In Search of Thaelrid |
| The Essence of Aku'Mai | 17 | Horde | Je'neu Sancrea, Zoram'gar /way 11 34 |
| Amongst the Ruins | 21 | Horde | Je'neu Sancrea; recover the Fathom Core |
| Baron Aquanis | 21 | Horde | Strange Water Globe dropped by Baron Aquanis |
| Allegiance to the Old Gods | 17 | Horde | Damp Note from a Blackfathom Tide Priestess in the outer caves |
| The Orb of Soran'ruk | 20 | Warlock | Doan Karhan; combine with the Shadowfang objective |
| The Test of Righteousness | 20 | Alliance Paladin | Prepare the class chain and its gem objective |
| A Moon-Kissed Blade / Seeking the Kor Gem | 20 | Horde Paladin | Speak with Ulric Frostveil at Zoram Strand before collecting the gem |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quell the Uprising | 22 | Warden Thelwater, outside /way 41 58 | No preliminary chain listed |
| The Color of Blood | 22 | Nikova Raskol, Stormwind Old Town | Patrolling NPC |
| Crime and Punishment | 22 | Councilman Millstipe, Darkshire /way 42 47 | Outdoor pickup |
| What Comes Around... | 22 | Guard Berton, Lakeshire /way 26 46 | Outdoor pickup |
| The Fury Runs Deep | 25 | Motley Garmason, Dun Modr /way 49 18 | Complete The Dark Iron War |
| The Stockade Riots | 16 | Warden Thelwater | Complete the chain beginning with The Unsent 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.
| Quest | Min level | Faction | Pickup / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rig Wars | 25 | Horde | Nogg, Orgrimmar /way 76 25 |
| Chief Engineer Scooty | 20 | Horde | Sovik, Orgrimmar; first pick up Rig Wars |
| Gnomer-gooooone! | 20 | Horde | Scooty, Booty Bay /way 27 77; Goblin Transponder |
| Save Techbot's Brain! | 20 | Alliance | Tinkmaster Overspark, Ironforge /way 69 50 |
| Gyrodrillmatic Excavationators | 20 | Alliance | Shoni the Shilent, Stormwind /way 55 12 |
| Essential Artificials | 24 | Alliance | Klockmort Spannerspan, Ironforge /way 47 64 |
| Data Rescue | 25 | Alliance | Master Mechanic Castpipe, Ironforge /way 69 48 |
| The Grand Betrayal | 25 | Alliance | High Tinker Mekkatorque, Ironforge /way 68 49 |
| Gnogaine | 20 | Alliance | Ozzie Togglevolt, Kharanos /way 45 49 |
| The Only Cure is More Green Glow | 20 | Alliance | Ozzie Togglevolt; complete Gnogaine and return for the follow-up |
| The Sparklematic 5200! | 25 | Neutral | Use Grime-Encrusted Objects in the Clean Zone |
| A Fine Mess | 20 | Neutral | Kernobee's inside-dungeon escort |
| Grime-Encrusted Ring | 28 | Neutral | Dropped ring; continues into faction-specific return steps |
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.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Vengeful Fate | 29 | Auld Stonespire, Thunder Bluff /way 37 29 | Horde boss quest |
| Going, Going, Guano! | 30 | Master Apothecary Faranell, Undercity /way 48 69 | Horde; unlocks Hearts of Zeal |
| An Unholy Alliance | 28 | Small Scroll from Charlga Razorflank | Horde; leads into Razorfen Downs |
| The Crone of the Kraul | 29 | Falfindel Waywarder, Feralas /way 89 46 | Alliance; complete Lonebrow's Journal |
| Mortality Wanes | 25 | Heralath Fallowbrook inside RFK | Alliance; inside-dungeon start |
| Blueleaf Tubers | 20 | Mebok Mizzyrix, Ratchet /way 62 37 | Neutral; take the supplied tools before traveling |
| Willix the Importer | 22 | Willix inside RFK | Neutral escort; accept before the group starts it |
Scarlet Monastery Dungeon Quests
Quest objectives span different wings. The level-30 cap permits early preparation, but the level-33 and level-34 multi-wing quests remain above it.
| Quest | Min level | Wing | Prerequisite / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Into The Scarlet Monastery | 33 | Multiple wings | Horde; Varimathras, Undercity |
| In the Name of the Light | 34 | Multiple wings | Alliance; Brother Anton / Down the Scarlet Path chain |
| Vorrel's Revenge | 25 | Graveyard | Horde; Vorrel Sengutz inside |
| Hearts of Zeal | 30 | Graveyard enemies | Horde; complete Going, Going, Guano! |
| Compendium of the Fallen | 28 | Library | Sage Truthseeker, Thunder Bluff; Horde except Undead |
| Test of Lore | 25 | Library | Horde; Parqual Fintallas; prepare the Test of Faith chain |
| Mythology of the Titans | 28 | Library | Alliance; Librarian Mae Paledust, Ironforge |
| Rituals of Power | 30 | Library | Mage; Magus Tirth; complete Journey to the Marsh progression |
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 make its full quest package available below the quests' required levels.
Excavation Site: Wetlands Dungeon Quests
The official beta dungeon bracket is 26–31, while the current quest package starts at level 24. Prepare outdoor chains and leave space for quests that begin or continue inside.
Current beta reports identify Young Crocolisk Skins as the prerequisite for Highland Hides. Daily Delivery is a breadcrumb, not an additional mandatory step. Seeking Caitlin is likewise a breadcrumb for Lost in the Thicket Things.
| Quest / follow-up | Min level | Faction | Pickup / preparation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Changing Tastes | 24 | Horde | Borstan, Orgrimmar, near the Cooking trainer |
| Open the Maw | 24 | Horde | Deathstalker Agent near the entrance; complete Dragonmaw Rumors from Zaruk in Hammerfall |
| Elder Knowledge / Earthen Echo | 24 | Horde | Titan Relic from Relic Guardian; continue the Thunder Bluff follow-up |
| Highland Hides | 24 | Alliance | James Halloran, Menethil Harbor /way 8 55; complete Young Crocolisk Skins |
| Songblade Search / Fallen in the Fen | 24 | Alliance | Dorin Songblade, Lakeshire /way 25.6 46.6; inspect the body inside, then return to Dorin |
| Horrors in the Highland | 24 | Alliance | Rethiel the Greenwarden /way 56.2 40.6; Greenwarden chain through Blisters on the Land |
| Lost in the Thicket Things / Heartwoven | 24 | Alliance | Caitlin Grassman, Menethil Harbor /way 11.8 58.6; check the inside follow-up |
| Lost Relic Carry / Prehistoric Prism | 24 | Alliance | Titan Relic from Relic Guardian; continue the Alliance follow-up |
Titan Relic fix: The October 8 build returns the relic for Earthen Echo and Prehistoric Prism. You should not need another boss kill solely to replace it. Quest details and rewards remain beta data.
Razorfen Downs Dungeon Quests
Testing access begins at level 25, but this does not lower the listed quest requirements or make a full clear appropriate for that level. Most of the package remains above the cap.
| Quest | Min level | Pickup | Prerequisite / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| An Unholy Alliance | 28 | Varimathras, Undercity | Horde; complete the RFK step |
| Bring the End | 37 | Andrew Brownell, Undercity /way 74 33 | Horde; above the cap |
| Bring the Light | 39 | Archbishop Benedictus, Stormwind Cathedral | Alliance; above the cap |
| A Host of Evil | 28 | Myriam Moonsinger, outside /way 49 95 | Neutral kill quest |
| Scourge of the Downs | 32 | Belnistrasz inside | Prepare before the escort; above the cap |
| Extinguishing the Idol | 32 | Belnistrasz | Escort follow-up; above the cap |
When these quests become obtainable, every participating player should finish Scourge of the Downs and accept the escort before it starts.
Uldaman Dungeon Quests
Uldaman is accessible for testing at level 30. The following higher-level entries are preparation references, not proof that a capped character can accept or complete the entire package.
| Quest | Min level | Faction | Prerequisite / pickup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Stones | 30 | Neutral | Rigglefuzz, Badlands /way 42 52 |
| Solution to Doom | 30 | Neutral | Theldurin the Lost, Badlands /way 51 76 |
| Agmond's Fate | 33 | Alliance | Chain beginning with Ironband Wants You! |
| Reclaimed Treasures | 33 | Alliance | Krom Stoutarm, Ironforge /way 74 9 |
| Reclaimed Treasures | 33 | Horde | Patrick Garrett, Undercity /way 62 48 |
| The Lost Dwarves | 35 | Alliance | Prospector Stormpike, Ironforge /way 75 12 |
| The Hidden Chamber | 35 | Alliance | Baelog's Journal inside; follows The Lost Dwarves |
| The Lost Tablets of Will | 30 | Alliance | Chain beginning with A Sign of Hope |
| Uldaman Reagent Run | 36 | Horde | Jarkal Mossmeld, Kargath; complete Badlands Reagent Run |
| Uldaman Reagent Run | 38 | Alliance | Ghak Healtouch, Thelsamar; complete Badlands Reagent Run |
| The Shattered Necklace / Necklace Recovery | 37 | Faction chains | Shattered Necklace drop; faction-specific recovery progression |
| Power in Uldaman | 35 | Mage | Tabetha; prepare Return to the Marsh progression |
| The Platinum Discs | 40 | Neutral | Inside, after Archaedas |
Do not postpone level-30 progression for quests requiring 33–40. Testing access also does not establish that a level-30 group can reliably clear Archaedas.
What About the Other New WoW Forever Dungeons?
Four of the nine announced new instances are now open in beta. The remaining five still need playable-build verification before complete quest packages can be presented as obtainable.
| Dungeon | Announced range | Quest status |
|---|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | 13–18 | Current beta package documented |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 15–20 | Current beta faction packages documented |
| Excavation Site: Wetlands | 26–31 | Available; faction chains and relic follow-ups documented |
| City of Dalaran | 28–33 | Available since October 8; early beta quest references |
| The Drowned City | 35–40 | Not opened in the current beta notes |
| Krol'dok Stronghold | 40–45 | Not opened in the current beta notes |
| Alcaz Prison | 48–53 | Not opened in the current beta notes |
| Blackmaw Hold | 55–60 | Not opened in the current beta notes |
| Shaper's Terrace | 58–60 | Not opened in the current beta notes |
City of Dalaran's current specialist checklist lists four quests for each faction, all requiring level 24. 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 in Tarren Mill, continues through Dalaran Patrols and Blood in the Streets, then reaches Heart of Disruption at the Image of Archmage Modera.
| Quest | Min level | Faction | Pickup / objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Grave Knight | 24 | Horde | Melisara, Tarren Mill; defeat Atrexis the Grave Knight |
| Source of Power | 24 | Horde | Doctor Martin Felben, Undercity; collect 6 Cracked Sentry Cores |
| Opportunistic Education | 24 | Horde | Rexxie Copperclutch near the sewer entrance; collect The Founding of Dalaran |
| Heart of Disruption | 24 | Horde | Image of Archmage Modera after Blood in the Streets; return the Arcane Mote to Magus Wordeen Voidglare |
| Power Overwhelming | 24 | Alliance | High Sorcerer Andromath, Stormwind; defeat Arcanic Enigma |
| A Green Sample | 24 | Alliance | Shylamiir, Stormwind Park; collect the Fel Infused Blossom |
| Starving Arcane | 24 | Alliance in the current specialist checklist | Archmage Modera outside Dalaran; kill 8 Seeking Remnants, 8 Saturated Remnants and 8 Mana Echoes |
| Heart of Disruption | 24 | Alliance | Image of Archmage Modera after An Alarming Request; collect and return the Arcane Mote |
Heart of Disruption supplies a Dalaran Sewer Key; one keyholder can open the locked group entrance. Early references disagree about Horde eligibility for Starving Arcane, so check the current quest offer before counting it in a Horde package. Do not assume every collection objective can be finished for every player in one clear.
What Is the Best Level to Run Each Dungeon?
These are planning suggestions, not entry requirements or measured fastest-leveling results. Quest pickup levels can be much lower than the level needed for a comfortable clear.
| Dungeon | Good first-run level | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ragefire Chasm | 13–14 | Main Horde package and manageable early bosses |
| Hall of Thanes | 14–16 | Within its intended 13–18 bracket |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 17–19 | Quest access and a more reliable complete route |
| Wailing Caverns | 18–20 | Allows the full route and final event |
| The Deadmines | 18–20 | Defias package; Paladin objectives at 20 |
| Shadowfang Keep | 21–23 | More reliable final-boss progression |
| The Stockade | 24–26 | Most quests available; The Fury Runs Deep at 25 |
| Blackfathom Deeps | 23–25 | Faction packages and class objectives |
| Gnomeregan | 29–30 in beta | Cap-limited attempt; later areas remain demanding |
| Razorfen Kraul | 29–30 in beta | Major pickups unlock around 28–30 |
| Scarlet Monastery Graveyard | 30 | Early wing; not the complete multi-wing package |
| Excavation Site | 27–30 in beta | Within the official 26–31 bracket |
| City of Dalaran | 29–30 in beta | Within the announced bracket; upper end exceeds the cap |
| Razorfen Downs | Testing only at the current cap | Access at 25 is not a comfortable full-clear recommendation |
| Uldaman | Testing only at 30 | Full quest and boss progression requires higher-level planning |
Combine nearby instances with the Alliance Leveling Guide or Horde Leveling Guide to reduce travel.
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 and Cathedral; Lockpicking 175 is an alternative.
- 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.
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 have 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.
- Choose the dungeon and a realistic clearing level.
- Check faction and class eligibility.
- Finish prerequisite chains.
- Collect quests and supplied tools.
- Identify outside-cave and inside-instance objectives.
- Check keys and access chains.
- Leave quest-log and bag space for new starts and items.
- Before an escort, confirm everyone's acceptance.
- Check all remaining objectives before leaving.
- 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: October 8 changed kill XP and group calculations.
- Treating future database records as obtainable: unopened dungeons still need testing.
- 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. The October 8 increase applies separately to dungeon creature-kill XP.
Can I prepare City of Dalaran quests now?
Yes. The dungeon opened on October 8. Current quest references begin at level 24, while the announced dungeon bracket is 28–33.
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 higher-level quest rewards final for launch?
No. Above-cap references and beta reward records must be rechecked as testing expands and launch tuning is published.
Conclusion
Prepare the available faction and class package, inspect inside starts and check follow-ups before leaving. Match the run to your group's actual level, and treat above-cap or unopened-dungeon records as preparation references until their current versions can be tested.
