Classic dungeon in WoW Forever
Blackrock Depths is the Dark Iron dwarf city beneath Blackrock Mountain and spans levels 52–60, one of the widest Classic bands on the chart. In Classic it is a huge dungeon that most groups clear in sections, from the prison and the arena to Emperor Dagran Thaurissan's throne room. Plan several runs rather than one: its range can carry a group from the low 50s to 60.
Updated from the beta client data · what the October XP changes did
The beta stopped at level 30, so nobody has run Blackrock Depths in WoW Forever yet. Each line says where it comes from: the final beta client (1.60.1.70532), Blizzard, or how it worked in Classic.
Classic reference — may change in WoW Forever. These are the main bosses of the original Classic dungeon. WoW Forever has not published this dungeon's encounters, so treat the list as a starting point until it is confirmed in game.
Not the stats, as far as the client shows. We checked all 126 items on the Classic drop list for Blackrock Depths against build 1.60.1.70707, and none of them has new stats. Forever's loot tables are server side, so whether they still drop here, and how often, is unknown until launch.
Only one Blackrock Depths quest is in the Forever data so far, The Last Element; the other forty on the Classic list below are the fallback until players reach the dungeon. In Classic many of them start at Kargath in the Badlands and at Flame Crest and Morgan's Vigil in the Burning Steppes.
Quests
In the dungeon: Ten Essence of the Elements from golems, golem makers and elementals inside.
