Classic dungeon in WoW Forever

Shadowfang Keep

Shadowfang Keep is a 23–29 dungeon in Silverpine Forest, the castle of Archmage Arugal and his worgen in Classic. On the WoW Forever chart it shares most of its band with the new Excavation Site and Blackfathom Deeps, so mid-20s groups have three dungeons to rotate between. The entrance is closest for Horde characters questing through Silverpine.

Quest prep

Unconfirmed

Four quests, all collected on the Horde side of Silverpine and the Undercity. None of them is item-started, so the group can share the lot at the door.

  • One is a class quest. In Classic The Orb of Soran'ruk is Warlock-only, so it cannot be shared with the rest of the group at all.
  • Deathstalkers in Shadowfang is finished inside by finding two Deathstalkers, so keep an eye out rather than racing past them.
  • 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.

Alliance4 quests · Lv 25–27

Where to pick them up

  1. Alliance groups can clear the keep, but the givers and turn-ins are Horde-side, so it is usually run for the loot.

Quests

  • The Orb of Soran'rukshareableLv 20+

    Turn in to Doan Karhan.

  • The Book of UrshareableLv 16+

    Turn in to Keeper Bel'dugur.

  • Arugal Must Dieshareabledo insideLv 18+

    In the dungeon: Arugal is the last of the eight bosses, at the top of the keep, so this is a full clear rather than a partial run. The head goes to Dalar Dawnweaver at the Sepulcher in Silverpine, which is the closest turn-in of any quest here.

Horde4 quests · Lv 25–27

Where to pick them up

  1. The Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest — Dalar Dawnweaver: Arugal Must Die, for Arugal's head.
