On October 20, Blizzard published "Explore the New Dungeons of World of Warcraft: Forever", its guide to the nine new five-player dungeons, for levels 13 to 60: where each one lies, and how to get into the City of Dalaran, the Drowned City and the Shaper's Terrace. The levels are those of Blizzard's September 15 list; the locations and the ways in are new.

The nine dungeons and where they are

Dungeon Levels Where
Hall of Thanes 13–18 Beneath Ironforge, Dun Morogh
Ruins of Lordaeron 15–20 The ruined city above the Undercity, Tirisfal Glades
Excavation Site: Wetlands 24–29 Above Whelgar's Excavation Site, near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz, Wetlands
City of Dalaran 28–33 Alterac Mountains
The Drowned City 35–40 Off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, west of Grom'gol Base Camp
Krol'dok Stronghold 40–45 Riverglades
Alcaz Prison 48–53 Alcaz Island, Dustwallow Marsh
Blackmaw Hold 55–60 Azshara
Shaper's Terrace 58–60 The northern hills of Un'Goro Crater

The first four are already in the beta client: their pages have the map, the bosses and their loot, and the quests to tick. The other five have no map in the client yet.

How to get in

  • Hall of Thanes. The way in is inside Ironforge: an easy walk for the Alliance, a trip into enemy land for the Horde. Our Hall of Thanes entrance guide shows the route.
  • Ruins of Lordaeron. The other way round: the Horde reaches it from the Undercity, the Alliance has to cross Horde land. Our Ruins of Lordaeron entrance guide shows the route.
  • City of Dalaran. An attunement questline opens it. The Alliance starts with "An Alarming Request" from Emissary Jacques in Southshore; the Horde with "Key to the City" and "Prison Break-In" from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill, both in the Hillsbrad Foothills. Once the Kirin Tor trust you, your group goes in through the sewers. The dungeon's own quests, "Heart of Disruption" from level 30 among them, are on our City of Dalaran page with their givers.
  • The Drowned City. Its entrance is under water: dive to find it. Inside, the open-air dungeon changes as mist and rain build into a full storm before the last fight.
  • Shaper's Terrace. Bring the power crystals you gather across Un'Goro Crater: consoles inside the terrace use them.

One level range back where it was

Excavation Site: Wetlands is at 24–29 in this article, as in Blizzard's September 15 list, while Blizzard's beta notes of October 1 put it at 26–31, and the beta client's Group Finder still suggests it from 26 to 33. The other three dungeons of the beta keep their levels: 13–18, 15–20 and 28–33.
