New WoW Forever dungeon

City of Dalaran

City of Dalaran is one of the new WoW Forever dungeons, for levels 28–33. Blizzard's preview says the city's protective barrier has fallen, exposing malfunctioning enchantments, uncontrolled constructs and demonic activity, and promises a wider city to explore. It lands between The Stockade and Razorfen Kraul on the chart, a new option for groups around level 30.

Before you go: getting there, keys and prep

How to get there

  • Datamined The Alliance quests for it are handed out by an image of Archmage Modera in eastern Silverpine Forest (68.7, 45.2) and in Stormwind City; the Horde ones in Tarren Mill and the Undercity, and one by Rexxie Copperclutch at the sewer entrance. That puts the way in on the Alterac side of Silverpine. WoW Forever Builds
  • Datamined The client adds an Old Dalaran Ruins area to Alterac and a new hall inside the city called The Sky Enclave, with eight shops placed on Eastern Kingdoms coordinates. Daybreak Forever datamine

Prep checklist

  • Datamined The Group Finder lists it for levels 28–35, two levels above the chart's 28–33. Daybreak Forever datamine
  • Datamined Heart of Disruption, the blue-reward quest on both sides, starts from the Dalaran Sewer Key, so every player loots their own and it cannot be shared. WoW Forever Builds
  • Datamined City of Dalaran has a new one-day lockout row in the client. How Blizzard uses it (a daily cap, a reward lock, or a reset timer) has not been announced. Daybreak Forever datamine
  • Datamined Dungeon enemies hit harder than in Classic: the client multiplies creature melee and spell damage by 1.2 in every dungeon, while their health stays the same. Expect more incoming damage per pull than old Classic numbers suggest. Daybreak Forever datamine

Bosses (beta client data)

Unconfirmed

Beta data — may change before launch. These encounter names were found in the WoW Forever beta client's data tables. Blizzard has not published a boss list, and the order below is not the confirmed kill order.

  • Arcane Anomaly
  • Fel Ancient
  • Mana Devourer
  • Mana Elemental
  • Unstable Sentinel
  • Shade of the Archmage
  • Lyn the Ignored
  • Atrexis the Grave Knight
  • Mana Wraith

Quest prep by faction

Unconfirmed

Four quests per faction, and none of them shared between the two: the Alliance collect theirs in Stormwind and from an image of Archmage Modera outside the city, the Horde in Tarren Mill and the Undercity. Collect the city quests on your way north; the data shows each Alliance quest turning in to the NPC who gave it.

  • Heart of Disruption cannot be shared on either side: it starts from the Dalaran Sewer Key, so everyone loots their own. It is also the quest with the blue rewards, three choices per faction.
  • Two quests are boss kills. The client's encounter list puts the Mana Elemental fourth and Atrexis the Grave Knight eighth of nine, so the Horde quest needs a near-full clear.
  • The Group Finder lists the dungeon for levels 28–35, and every quest here is level 33 with a pick-up level of 24.

Alliance4 quests · Lv 33

Where to pick them up

  1. Silverpine Forest (68.7, 45.2), outside the city — the image of Archmage Modera: Starving Arcane and Heart of Disruption.
  2. Stormwind, the Park (31.3, 62.9) — Shylamiir: A Green Sample, a Fel Infused Blossom from inside.
  3. Stormwind, Wizard's Sanctum (48.8, 87.6) — High Sorcerer Andromath: Power Overwhelming.

Do this first

  • Take the two Stormwind quests before you travel north: the turn-ins are back in the city, and Andromath's pays 1 gold on top of the item.

1 quest cannot be shared: an item starts it, so everyone in the group has to loot their own.

Horde4 quests · Lv 33

Where to pick them up

  1. Tarren Mill — Magus Wordeen Voidglare: Heart of Disruption, the middle of a three-step chain; Melisara: The Grave Knight.
  2. Undercity — Doctor Martin Felben: Source of Power, six Cracked Sentry Cores.
  3. At the sewer entrance — Rexxie Copperclutch: Opportunistic Education.

Do this first

  • Heart of Disruption comes after Blood in the Streets and leads into Shrewd Negotiations, so do the first step in Tarren Mill before the run.

1 quest cannot be shared: an item starts it, so everyone in the group has to loot their own. 1 quest needs an earlier quest, so a party share fails for anyone who has not done it.
