Classic dungeon in WoW Forever

The Stockade

The Stockade is Stormwind City's prison, open to groups from level 26 to 32 on the WoW Forever chart. In Classic it is a short, linear run of cell blocks full of rioting Defias prisoners, which makes it easy to fit between quests. Its entrance is inside an Alliance capital, so it is practical mainly for Alliance characters.

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. Targorr the Dread
  2. Kam Deepfury
  3. Hamhock
  4. Bazil Thredd
  5. Dextren Ward

Quest prep

Unconfirmed

Seven quests in the beta data, and the prison itself is short, so the planning is all about the turn-ins: they are scattered across Stormwind, Redridge, Duskwood and the Wetlands. Only one can be handed in at the door.

  • Nothing here is item-started, so the whole list shares cleanly at the door, with one exception: The Stockade Riots sits behind an earlier Stormwind quest.
  • The data marks every one of these for both factions, but the entrance is inside Stormwind and every turn-in is on Alliance ground. In practice this is an Alliance dungeon.
  • Two quests want trash rather than bosses — eight and ten and ten kills between them — so a group that clears finishes more quests than a group that runs the bosses.
  • 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.

Where to pick them up

  1. Stormwind, the Stockade entrance — Warden Thelwater: The Stockade Riots and Quell the Uprising.
  2. Stormwind, Old Town — Nikova Raskol: The Color of Blood.
  3. Darkshire, Duskwood — Councilman Millstipe: Crime and Punishment.
  4. Dun Modr, Wetlands — Motley Garmason: The Fury Runs Deep.
  5. What Comes Around... is handed in to Guard Berton in Lakeshire.

Do this first

  • Collect the out-of-town ones first. Duskwood and the Wetlands are both a ride away, and the prison run itself takes less time than the travel does.
  • The Deadmines quest The Unsent Letter leads this way in Classic, so finish that chain first if you want the full run of Stormwind quests.

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.

    Cannot be sharedPrerequisite

    In the dungeon: Bazil Thredd is the one the dungeon is named for and the only turn-in you can reach without leaving Stormwind: Warden Thelwater stands at the prison door. It is step three of an eight-step Stormwind chain, so a late share will fail for anyone who has not worked through it.

    Turn in to Warden Thelwater. Needs Bazil Thredd first. Chain step 3 of 8.

  • What Comes Around...shareabledo insideLv 22+

    In the dungeon: Targorr the Dread's head. The turn-in is Guard Berton in Lakeshire, over in Redridge, so bank the head and hand it in next time you are out that way.

  • Quell the Uprisingshareabledo insideLv 22+

    In the dungeon: Ten Prisoners, eight Convicts and eight Insurgents, all ordinary inmates, so this finishes itself on a full clear and is the quest that makes clearing worth more than rushing the bosses. Taken from Warden Thelwater at the door alongside the Riots quest.

  • The Color of Bloodshareabledo insideLv 22+

    In the dungeon: Ten Red Wool Bandanas off the inmates. Nikova Raskol gives it in Stormwind's Old Town, a short walk from the prison, so there is no reason to skip it.
