WoW Forever dungeons
Forever adds nine new dungeons to the original world, in places players have wondered about for years. Here is each one Blizzard has named, what changed about dungeons in general, and my guides as I write them.

The nine new dungeons
Blizzard named all nine in its What's Next panel recap. It has posted level ranges for the two that opened first in the beta. The fan sites that list the rest do not agree with each other, so I will add those as Blizzard confirms them.
| Dungeon | Where | Levels | What it is | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | Beneath Ironforge | 13–18 | The dwarves' halls under the city, overrun by Dark Iron Dwarves. | Read the guide |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | The ruined capital, Tirisfal Glades | 15–20 | Helping the Forsaken reclaim the Ruins of Lordaeron. | Not yet |
| The excavation site | Above Whelgar's Excavation, Wetlands | not posted yet | A mysterious dig above the old excavation. | Not yet |
| City of Dalaran | Dalaran | not posted yet | Strange magical trouble in the city of mages. | Not yet |
| The Drowned City | Off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale* | not posted yet | Naga and pirates. | Not yet |
| Krol'dok Stronghold | Riverglades* | not posted yet | Blizzard has not described it yet. | Not yet |
| Alcaz Prison | Alcaz Island, Dustwallow Marsh | not posted yet | A prison on Alcaz Island. | Not yet |
| Blackmaw Hold | Behind Azshara's mysterious gate* | not posted yet | Corruption stirring in its depths. | Not yet |
| Shaper's Terrace | Un'Goro Crater | not posted yet | Titan mysteries in Un'Goro. | Not yet |
* Blizzard's recap names these without saying exactly where they are; the places marked come from Icy Veins' report of the BlizzCon panel.
Blizzard's roadmap adds more dungeons in later updates, alongside raids and world content.

What's different about dungeons
- Every dungeon drop was looked at again. Blizzard says it re-examined every item, and a boss's unique items are now blue (rare) quality.
- Shared appearances. When an Uncommon or Rare item that binds on pickup drops, its appearance goes to everyone eligible in the group, not only the person who wins it.
- Recipes from bosses. Advanced Blueprint recipes for professions drop from dungeon bosses.
- Crowd control matters. Blizzard wants dungeons to stay tactical, where crowd control can be the right answer to a pull.
- Your ruleset is your pool. You can only group with players on the same ruleset, so pick the one your friends play on.
From Blizzard's Deep Dive panel recap.
Group Finder
To list yourself you pick a playstyle: Learning, Relaxed, Competitive or Carry Offered. Group Finder finds the people; it does not build the group for you or teleport anyone, so everyone still walks to the entrance.
If it's your first time through a dungeon, Learning is the right pick.
THOMAS, DLONEMMore on playstyles, and why I wish you could pick more than one, is in the beginner's guide.

Find a guild
WoW is better with people, especially in a game where nothing forms groups for you. If you play Alliance on the Normal ruleset in North America, The Grey Company is my guild: leveling and social, every time zone welcome. In game, send people to dlonem.com/grey.
