Every enemy killed in a WoW Forever dungeon gives 50% more experience since November 8. In a post on Blizzard's forums at 19:47 UTC, Kaivax wrote: "At about 11:05 PST today, we deployed a hotfix that increased kill experience in dungeons by 50%, so it feels better to go back in for more runs." 11:05 PST is 19:05 UTC.

What changes, and what the post does not say

The post speaks of the experience for each enemy killed in a dungeon: one that gave 100 experience points now gives 150. It says nothing of quests, nor of monsters out in the world.

Good luck with those Deviate Hides

Kaivax signs off with "good luck with those Deviate Hides!", a nod to a quest of the Wailing Caverns, Deviate Hides, in which Nalpak wants 20 Deviate Hides. In the game's client (build 1.60.1.70862), the Group Finder tunes the caverns for levels 15 to 24. Our page of the caverns lists that quest with the others, the bosses and their loot.

Where to run them

Every dungeon of WoW Forever, from Ragefire Chasm to Stratholme, is on our dungeons page with the levels the Group Finder gives it, its bosses, its quests and its loot. Our leveling route places them along the way from level 1 to 60.
