What's New In WoW: Forever?

Classic players will certainly feel right at home, but Forever isn't just a cut-and-paste Anniversary server. Tons of new content has already been seen throughout the beta, and that was only until level 30! Plenty more is to come, and release is just the beginning. The Forever Roadmap lays out what Blizzard has in store for us, and even though Phase 1 is packed, the future of Forever looks bright.

Plenty of new systems are available right on launch, though. Between Camping, Legacy Points, UI customization, and more, players will have a fresh twist on Classic that should let Forever last.

Dungeons in WoW: Forever

Before Raids release, players will want to dive into Dungeons - and there's plenty, both old and new, to explore. We've only seen a few new instances in beta, but with players able to progress past level 30, we're sure everyone will be eager to jump into new content by the weekend - stick around for new guides as we jump right in!

Forever Dungeon Overview Every Known Dungeon Quest Tarnished Undermine Reals

One of the first dungeons Horde players likely enter, deep in the heart of Orgrimmar.

Ragefire Chasm Guide

Brand-new to Forever, an Alliance counterpart to Horde's Ragefire Chasm - head to Ironforge to try it out!

Hall of Thanes Guide

Everyone's favorite early dungeon to get lost in - Druids can find a slithery surprise if they complete this dungeon's unofficial set.

Wailing Caverns Guide

The Defias are plotting, but it's not too late to stop them - Alliance players in particular will have lots of quests here, but Horde Paladins will also need to dip in!

Deadmines Guide

Another brand-new dungeon; both Horde and Alliance players have some quests here, so it's worth the trip!

Ruins of Lordaeron Guide

If you want to summon the secret boss in another new Forever dungeon, you'll need to run this one - get ready to look for the Black Tome!

Shadowfang Keep Guide

Not much has changed in this iconic dungeon on the coast of Ashenvale, but players will still likely jump in for quest experience on their leveling journey.

Blackfathom Deeps Guide

The first new dungeon in this level bracket, Alliance has more quests here than Horde - but everyone has a shot at that sweet loot.

Excavation Wetlands Guide

First of two Razorfen dungeons, players will be able to jump right in at the southern part of the Barrens at the upper end of the 20-30 bracket.

Razorfen Kraul Guide

Deep in the heart of Stormwind, Horde players won't find any quests here - but if you're looking for a bit of PvP on your way to a dungeon, this is the one for you.

The Stockade Guide

Get ready to take a leap of faith (and hope that the Hunters dismissed their pets). Gnomeregan is notorious for a reason!

Gnomeregan Guide

Another brand-new dungeon, City of Dalaran is much easier to get to if you're Alliance, but Horde players can attune to it as well. Both factions can summon a sneaky secret boss, too - but only if you've run SFK and gotten the prerequisite item.

City of Dalaran Guide

The entry-level Scarlet Monastery dungeon, Graveyard is still the same zone you know and love. Watch out for the Anguished Dead!

SM Graveyard Guide

SM Library might be a short wing, but that just means you get the loot faster. This is the last dungeon in the 20-30 bracket, and players will soon move on to the final two wings of Scarlet Monastery and beyond.

SM Library Guide

There are several new dungeons in this bracket that players haven't been able to test yet. When we can finally experience The Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison, Shaper's Terrace, and Blackmaw Hold, we'll have dungeon guides available - until then, we've got our Classic dungeon guides ready to go!

Only one boss lives in SM Armory, but you can try your luck at getting a Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade from the trash here as well. Who knows, there might be some secrets to find!

SM Armory Guide

The final wing of Scarlet Monastery is where Sally Whitemane waits - take her on, take her down, and take home her loot.

SM Cathedral Guide

The second Razorfen dungeon, RFD brings a significantly darker tone - both factions will be facing undead and completing quests on their way past level 40.

Razorfen Downs Guide

One half of a massive dungeon, Upper Blackrock Spire will take a bit for players to get to. Once they do, however, there's a solid chance of new content - we'll have to see what secrets wait in Blackrock Mountain.

UBRS Guide

The other half of the first Blackrock Mountain dungeon, Lower Blackrock Spire will pit players against Ogres, Trolls, and more in one of the longest dungeons in Classic WoW.

LBRS Guide

Class is in session! Face off against Darkmaster Gandling, earn Scourgestones, and maybe win a few rolls on BoEs if you're lucky.

Scholomance Guide

Pendulum of Doom, anyone? Take on Uldaman in the Badlands and learn more about the Titans while snagging some upgrades.

Uldaman Guide

Trolls, Trolls, and more Trolls - you'll be sick of sand by the time you're through with this dungeon in Tanaris.

Zul'Farrak Guide

There are several different wings to work your way through in Maraudon, and the challenge progresses as you go. At the end, Princess Theradras waits with plenty of loot to snag, if you can bring her down.
