Classic dungeon in WoW Forever

Gnomeregan

Gnomeregan covers levels 31–37 and is the fallen gnome capital in Dun Morogh, overrun by troggs, leper gnomes and Dark Iron agents in Classic. It shares its exact band with the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard but is a far longer dungeon, better suited to a planned evening than a quick run. The entrance is in Alliance territory near Ironforge.

Before you go: getting there, keys and prep

The beta stopped at level 30, so nobody has run Gnomeregan 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.

How to get there

  • Classic fallback The front entrance is in western Dun Morogh, a short ride from Ironforge; Horde groups have to cross Alliance land to reach it. Warcraft Wiki

Prep checklist

  • Classic fallback In Classic the Workshop Key, which Electrocutioner 6000 drops for everyone, opens the back door for later runs. It vanishes when you log out. Warcraft Wiki
  • 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
  • Classic fallback Collect the quests first: 3 more from the Classic list on top of the 20 in the Forever data, each with where it starts.

Bosses (Classic reference)

Unconfirmed

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.

  1. Grubbis
  2. Viscous Fallout
  3. Electrocutioner 6000
  4. Crowd Pummeler 9-60
  5. Mekgineer Thermaplugg

Quest prep by faction

Unconfirmed

Six quests spread from Kharanos to Booty Bay, and two of them do not behave like the rest: one is started by an item, the other sits behind a chain. Sort both out before the group zones in, because Gnomeregan is a long walk back.

  • Gnogaine cannot be shared. It starts from the Empty Leaden Collection Phial, so every player needs their own; you fill it from irradiated enemies inside.
  • Save Techbot's Brain! needs the Tinkmaster Overspark step first, so a share fails for anyone who skipped it.
  • Two of the six are long-range turn-ins: Stormwind and Booty Bay. They are worth collecting now and handing in later.
  • Quest names, levels and NPCs come from the beta client. Where a giver stands is taken from the Classic version of the dungeon and is not confirmed for WoW Forever yet.

Alliance19 quests · Lv 26–35

Where to pick them up

  1. Ironforge — Tinkmaster Overspark: the chain that leads to Save Techbot's Brain!
  2. Kharanos, Dun Morogh — Ozzie Togglevolt: The Day After and the Gnogaine phial.
  3. Stormwind — Shoni the Shilent takes Gyrodrillmatic Excavationators; Booty Bay — Scooty takes Chief Engineer Scooty.

Do this first

  • Grab the phial in Kharanos on the way past: without it in your bags, the quest simply does not exist for you inside.

8 quests cannot be shared: an item starts them, so everyone in the group has to loot their own. 4 quests need an earlier quest, so a party share fails for anyone who has not done it.

Horde19 quests · Lv 26–35

Where to pick them up

  1. The givers are in Alliance territory, so Horde groups normally run Gnomeregan for the loot rather than the quests.

8 quests cannot be shared: an item starts them, so everyone in the group has to loot their own. 4 quests need an earlier quest, so a party share fails for anyone who has not done it.

Classic fallback

Classic fallback, not in the Forever data yet. The beta stopped at level 30, so the Forever quest data only holds the 20 quests above. These are the rest of the original Classic list for Gnomeregan; Forever may have changed, moved or removed any of them.

Ordered by pick-up level, chains in step order. "Starts" is the giver's Classic spawn point; quests that show "inside the dungeon" are handed out past the portal.
