All WoW Forever Dungeons by Level: Every Dungeon From 13 to 60, Including the 9 New Ones

WoW Forever has 35 dungeons and dungeon wings between levels 13 and 60: 26 from Classic and 9 brand new ones, starting with Hall of Thanes beneath Ironforge (13 to 18) and ending with Shaper's Terrace in Un'Goro Crater (58 to 60). That means a new dungeon in almost every ten-level band, so you can group up far more often than in Classic. Below is the full list in level order, what makes each new dungeon worth running, and how dungeon experience works in Forever.

The Full Dungeon List by Level

The ranges for the nine new dungeons come from Blizzard. The ranges for the Classic dungeons are the familiar Classic Era group finder ranges, which fan databases have not yet confirmed for Forever, so treat them as a guide rather than a rule.

The 9 New Dungeons, One by One

Hall of Thanes (13 to 18)

The first new dungeon sits beneath Ironforge and is the Alliance answer to Ragefire Chasm. Four bosses and a short run make it a perfect first group experience. It is also the lowest-level dungeon in the game alongside Ragefire.

Ruins of Lordaeron (15 to 20)

Six bosses in the ruined capital. It fills the gap before Wailing Caverns and The Deadmines and is a strong Horde pick on the way out of Tirisfal and Silverpine. Look out for the Lordaeron Captain, a rare elite in the northwest part of the dungeon that can drop the Haunting Blade two-hander. He does not appear on every run.

Excavation Site: Wetlands (26 to 31)

A compact four-boss dig above Whelgar's Excavation. It was the first new dungeon to open during the beta, and its quests pay out well: around 39,300 experience for Alliance and 22,800 for Horde, according to fan data from the client.

City of Dalaran (28 to 33)

Eight bosses under the walls of Dalaran in Alterac Mountains. Its quests are among the most rewarding of any dungeon in Forever, at roughly 37,600 experience in total. The entrance differs by faction: Alliance players walk in through the Dalaran Sewers, while Horde players need a Dalaran Sewer Key and enter from outside the city. Horde characters are also attacked on sight inside Dalaran, so go in as a group.

The Drowned City (35 to 40)

Six bosses in a sunken city off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale. It is the natural break from the Scarlet Monastery wings at the same level.

Krol'dok Stronghold (40 to 45)

Five bosses in Riverglades, one of Forever's new zones. It covers the awkward low 40s, where Classic only had Uldaman and the last Scarlet Monastery wings.

Alcaz Prison (48 to 53)

Five bosses on Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh. A good stop between Zul'Farrak and Maraudon before the level 55 to 60 endgame dungeons.

Blackmaw Hold (55 to 60)

Seven bosses behind the gate in Azshara. It is one of the two new endgame dungeons, alongside Shaper's Terrace.

Shaper's Terrace (58 to 60)

The biggest new dungeon, with 11 bosses in Un'Goro Crater. Expect it to be a regular endgame run for pre-raid gear next to Scholomance, Stratholme and Blackrock Spire.

How Dungeon Experience Works in WoW Forever

Forever changed dungeon experience in a few important ways during the beta:

• Dungeon quests pay a bonus. The level 30 beta build cut that bonus in half, but dungeon quests still pay roughly twice what they paid in Classic.

• Dungeon monsters give about 20% more experience than in Classic.

• Everyone earns by their own level. The group's highest-level player no longer drags down experience for everyone else.

• Monster experience is calculated from the monster's level, not yours. Killing mobs a few levels below you costs less experience than you might expect, so a slightly low dungeon is still worth it.

Collect the dungeon quests before you zone in. In Forever the quest rewards are often a bigger share of the experience than the kills.

Which Dungeons Should You Run First?

• Levels 13 to 20: Hall of Thanes (Alliance) or Ragefire Chasm (Horde), then Ruins of Lordaeron.

• Levels 20 to 30: The Deadmines or Wailing Caverns, then Shadowfang Keep, then Excavation Site: Wetlands.

• Levels 30 to 40: City of Dalaran first for its quests, then Scarlet Monastery, then The Drowned City.

• Levels 40 to 50: Krol'dok Stronghold, Uldaman and Zul'Farrak.

• Levels 50 to 60: Alcaz Prison, then Blackrock Depths, and at 58 to 60 Shaper's Terrace, Blackmaw Hold, Scholomance and Stratholme.

What Comes After Dungeons: Raids

Blizzard's roadmap opens raids on December 9. The Legacy challenges already name three raids: Hyjal Summit (13 encounters), Barrow Deeps (8 encounters) and Onyxia's Lair. Clearing them also counts toward your account-wide Legacy points, explained in our WoW Forever Legacy guide.

Need a Group That Knows the Way?

New dungeons mean nobody knows the pulls yet, and pick-up groups wipe a lot. If you would rather get the loot and quest experience without the learning curve, WoW Forever dungeon runs take you through with an experienced group. Still running Classic too? We also offer WoW Classic dungeons.
