Blackrock Depths, the Dark Iron capital at the bottom of Blackrock Mountain, is the biggest dungeon in WoW Forever, with quests to match. Alliance quests come from Morgan's Vigil in the Burning Steppes, Ironforge and Kharanos, Horde quests from Kargath in the Badlands, and Flame Crest and the mountain itself hand out quests to both sides. Three chains matter most: Dark Iron Legacy for the Shadowforge Key, the princess rescue that ends with a ring, and, for the Alliance, Marshal Windsor's jail break that leads on toward Onyxia. The dungeon is tuned for levels 52 to 60, and most of its quests open between 48 and 52.

Every quest for the run: where it starts, what to do and what it gives.

Before you go

Kill Gerstahn early and keep her key handy. The Prison Cell Key she drops opens the cells of Kharan Mighthammer, Commander Gor’shak and Marshal Windsor, and she drops only one per kill. Bring someone who can dispel and two players who can interrupt: Fineous Darkvire, Moira, Argelmach and the Anvilrage medics all heal or cast big spells.

TipClassic EraWowhead comments · 3 players · Jan 30

Players died on purpose near Blackrock Mountain (an instance or the mountain itself) before the ghost run, so they could resurrect right after taking the quest; others used Unstuck as a ghost to get back.

Pickup order and the way in

  1. Take a gryphon to Morgan’s Vigil in the Burning Steppes, or to Thorium Point in the Searing Gorge.
  2. On foot, come in from the Burning Steppes: the gate into the Searing Gorge needs the Key to Searing Gorge.

Inside Blackrock Mountain, slide down the long chain to the platform in the Molten Span, cross the tomb of Franclorn Forgewright, ride the next chain to the bottom and head north across the Grinding Quarry to the portal, at about 22.6, 7.5 on the Burning Steppes map. No key is needed to enter. The meeting stone does not summon, but a warlock can call latecomers at the bottom of the mountain.

TipThe Love PotionClassic Era

The elite giants in Azshara drop one to three Giant Silver Veins each, so about six kills fill the ten. Casters soloed them at 52-54 with fear or roots; a freshly 60 Fury warrior still found them tough.

WoW Forever Blackrock Depths Boost

Takes the dungeon run and its quests off your hands.

Page updates · Nov 9: every quest as a card with a faction filter, the pickup order and loot by boss

How a run goes

BRD is a city rather than a corridor, and few groups clear it in one sitting. The first half covers the Detention Block, the Ring of the Law, the Black Vault, Fineous Darkvire, Lord Incendius and Bael'Gar; the second half, behind the doors the Shadowforge Key opens, covers General Angerforge, Golem Lord Argelmach, the Grim Guzzler, the Lyceum and the Emperor. Agree on which half you run before you go in.

Bosses

High Interrogator Gerstahn

The first boss behind the portal and the holder of the Prison Cell Key, which opens the cells of Kharan Mighthammer, Commander Gor'shak and Marshal Windsor. Her Psychic Scream can send players into the next pack, so fight her in a corner, dispel Shadow Word: Pain and interrupt Mana Burn. She drops one key per kill.

Ring of the Law

Kill Lord Roccor and Houndmaster Grebmar first, then step into the arena only when everyone is ready: the event begins as soon as you enter. Waves of beasts come first, then one of six bosses at random. Ok'thor the Breaker, with his Polymorph, and Anub'shiah, with her curses and webs, are the hardest of them.

Fineous Darkvire

He carries Ironfel for Dark Iron Legacy. Clear the Warbringer Constructs in the Hall of Crafting first and interrupt his Holy Light, or he heals back what you took.

Lord Incendius and Bael'Gar

Incendius stands at the Black Anvil and knocks players back, so keep away from the edge and step out of Fire Storm. Bael'Gar waits in the lava at the end of the Dark Iron Highway: point him away from the group and kill his spawns.

General Angerforge and Golem Lord Argelmach

Each carries a page of Marshal Windsor's Lost Information. Angerforge calls in adds when he is hurt, so clear the garrison and use area damage on them. Argelmach casts Chain Lightning and wakes any golem left alive in his room, so clear it and spread out.

The Grim Guzzler

The tavern stays friendly until someone attacks. Buy Dark Iron Ale Mugs from Plugger Spazzring and hand them to Private Rocknot: he breaks the door behind the bar and Phalanx wakes up. Breaking the three kegs in the side room brings out Hurley Blackbreath and his crew.

Emperor Dagran Thaurissan

Princess Moira Bronzebeard fights at his side and heals him. For either princess quest, keep her busy with interrupts and kill the Emperor while she lives; she turns friendly when he dies.

When a new Blackrock Depths quest turns up, it is added here as a card, with a line under Page updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level is Blackrock Depths in WoW Forever?

It is tuned for levels 52 to 60. The door lets characters in from 45, the Group Finder lists it at 48, and most of its quests open between 48 and 52.

How do you get the Shadowforge Key?

It is the reward of Dark Iron Legacy. While dead, speak to Franclorn Forgewright's ghost in the mountain, then take Ironfel from Fineous Darkvire and set it on his monument in the Shrine of Thaurissan.

Which Blackrock Depths quests can both factions do?

Dark Iron Legacy, Ribbly Screwspigot, The Love Potion, The Heart of the Mountain, The Spectral Chalice, A Taste of Flame and Attunement to the Core, plus two level 60 quests: The Challenge and A Binding Contract.

What do the princess quests give?

The Alliance chain ends with The Princess's Surprise and a choice of Magni's Will or Songstone of Ironforge. The Horde one ends with The Princess Saved? and a choice of Thrall's Resolve or Eye of Orgrimmar. Both need Moira alive when the Emperor dies.

Can you share the quests that start from an item?

No. Since the October 1 beta build an item-started quest cannot be shared: each player needs a Crumpled Up Note or Thorium Brotherhood Contract of their own.
