Eastern Kingdoms New Dungeons
Hall of Thanes
The Hall of Thanes is a level 13-18 dungeon. Players can explore the depths underneath Ironforge. Alliance players can access the dungeon easily, but Horde players must infiltrate the Alliance city to enter.
Within the Hall of Thanes lie the remains of deceased dwarven monarchs. Dark Iron Dwarves are suspected of intruding and have broken into its sacred corridors.

Ruins of Lordaeron
The Ruins of Lordaeron is a level 15-20 dungeon. You’ll find this dungeon in the ruins of Lordaeron, above the Undercity. Horde players can reach the dungeon from the Undercity, but Alliance players must sneak into Horde territory.
The storyline follows the Forsaken as they work on reclaiming the shattered remains of Lordaeron. Treasured keepsakes and memories still lie among the ruins. The undead Scourge haunt the ruins, and necromancers are said to be gathering power. Players will help to secure the city and face the danger within its walls.
Excavation Site
The Excavation Site is a level 24-29 dungeon. It’s located near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz in the Wetlands. Horde and Alliance players shouldn’t have trouble reaching this destination.
According to the story, a strange mist drifts down from the mountains above Whelgar’s Excavation. The mist is accompanied by flashes of light along the horizon. But beyond the dig site lies a strange place frozen in time. Players will find errant titan constructs and dangerous wildlife. These groups guard mysteries that will draw the Explorers’ League and curious adventurers, eager to discover what has awakened there.
City of Dalaran
City of Dalaran is a level 28 – 33 dungeon. It’s located in the Alterac Mountains. Players must complete an attunement questline to access the dungeon. Alliance players can pick up the quest “An Alarming Request” from Emissary Jacques in Southshore. Horde players can begin the quests “Key to the City” and “Prison Break” from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill.
A magical barrier protects Dalaran city. The city is recovering from the events of Warcraft III. Inside, the city is alive with arcane chaos. Constructs run wild, enchantments backfire, and dangerous magical energy fills the streets. Players must earn the Kirin Tor’s trust. Enter through the sewers to reach the city. Choose among multiple paths and encounters on the way to find the disruption.
The Drowned City
The Drowned City is a level 35-40 dungeon. It’s located off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, west of Grom’gol. Both Horde and Alliance players can access the dungeon without difficulty.
If you love trolls, then you’ll love this dungeon. The Drowned City is ancient troll ruins that were once lost beneath the ocean. It has risen from the sea, allowing you to explore the city. Trolls and naga roam freely within the city. Discover a sunken pirate ship. You’ll have to dive underwater to enter the dungeon. The Drowned City is an open-air dungeon, and the weather affects it, with rain and mist shifting around you. A proper storm will greet you before the final confrontation.
Krol’dok Stronghold
Next is the Krol’dok Stronghold located in the Riverglades. The Riverglades is one of the new zones coming to WoW Forever. The Krol’dok Stronghold is a level 40-45 dungeon.
In the story, Ogre outrunners have been kidnapping travelers and ransacking communities. Players will follow their trail to the stronghold. The Krol’dok Stronghold is a sprawling fortress filled with workshops, encampments, and guarded interior passages. Players will come together to stop the ogres’ raids. You will also investigate the strange chanting heard from the stronghold after nightfall.

Kalimdor New Dungeons
Alcaz Prison
Alcaz Prison is located in Dustwallow Marsh. The dungeon is for levels 48-53. Both factions can access the dungeon without venturing into enemy territory.
Rumors say high-ranking prisoners, including King Varian Wrynn of the Alliance, are imprisoned in Alcaz Prison. The prison has long been out of reach, but now the doors are finally open. Inside, the Defias Brotherhood and the naga are at odds. Players can use this chance to explore the prison, confront its occupants, and uncover new pieces of familiar mystery.
Blackmaw Hold
Blackmaw Hold is located in Azshara. This level 55-60 zone is accessible to both factions.
Blackmaw Hold is a furblog city sealed behind a gate. Corruption spreads through the groves and winding mountain tunnels, and the Blackmaw Clan is struggling. Blackmaw Hold is a substantial max-level adventure featuring multiple routes and bosses. Players who venture into the hold’s deepest reaches may find a path leading even deeper into Azeroth.
Shaper’s Terrace
The Shaper’s Terrace is located in the northern hills of Un’Goro Crater. Alliance and Horde players can reach this dungeon without crossing enemy territory. This level 58-60 dungeon is an ancient titan facility overlooking land untouched by time. Within, players will find dinosaurs, titan structures, tar pits, and powerful crystals. Gather power crystals throughout Un’Goro Crater and use them at the terrace consoles; these discoveries will tie into the challenges ahead.
