WoW Forever Stockade Quests: Givers and Rewards

The Stockade is Stormwind's prison, and the inmates have taken it over. It has six quests, all of them for the Alliance: two from the prison door and Old Town in Stormwind, the others from Darkshire, Lakeshire and Dun Modr. The Stockade Riots closes a step of the Defias chain that starts with VanCleef's letter in the Deadmines, and The Fury Runs Deep waits behind an elite quest in the Wetlands. In Forever, three of the quests got a third reward to choose from. Most guides put the dungeon at levels 24 to 30.

Before you go

• Stormwind, prison door: Quell the Uprising from Warden ThelwaterThe Stockade Riots too, once the Deadmines letter chain brings you back
• Stormwind, Old Town: The Color of Blood from Nikova Raskolshe walks the streets
• Darkshire: Crime and Punishment from Councilman Millstipe
• Lakeshire: What Comes Around… from Guard Berton
• Dun Modr: The Fury Runs Deep from Motley Garmasononly after his elite quest The Dark Iron War

Watch the fleeing prisoners. Wounded Defias run off at low health and come back with the next cell, and they notice you from far away. Pull one cell at a time, keep a snare or a stun for the runners, and mark one target for crowd control in the bigger east packs.

TipClassic EraWowhead comments · 3 players · Dec 26

Nikova wanders Old Town and is often missing from her marked spot; her usual place is in front of the Limited Immunity shop, and walking a circle through Old Town finds her.

Start

Edwin VanCleef in the Deadmines drops An Unsent Letter. Take it to Baros Alexston in Stormwind; his quest Bazil Thredd sends you to the warden, who then gives this one

From players

TipClassic EraWowhead comments · 3 players · Oct 7

Dextren Ward is in the big hall at the far end of the left wing, not in the first hallways, which are small cell rooms of about three mobs each. Clear the hall before pulling him, since he can call for help.

Redridge Mountains · Lakeshire

[25] What Comes Around…

Guard Berton, Lakeshire · from level 22Head of Targorr0/14,200 XP

Start

Lakeshire, Redridge Mountains, by the mailbox to the left of the inn door

Forever added the Ursine Hammer as a third choice next to the sword and the staff.

Wetlands · Dun Modr

[27] The Fury Runs Deep

Motley Garmason, Dun Modr · from level 221 problem reportedHead of Deepfury0/15,800 XP

Start

Dun Modr in the north of the Wetlands, 49.6, 18.2, at the entrance. He offers it only once you have done The Dark Iron War, his elite quest against the Dark Iron dwarves of Dun Modr; take a group for that one

How

Kill Kam Deepfury in the east hall and loot the Head of Deepfury.

Headbasher, a two-handed mace, is the reward most players want; Magistrate’s Pantaloons is the choice new in Forever.

From players

ProblemWowhead comments · 4 players · Oct 2

The quest before it, The Dark Iron War, asks for level 25, so in practice you cannot take The Fury Runs Deep before 25; a Forever player hit the same wall in October.

Pickup order and the way in

1. 1Fly to Stormwind or take the Deeprun Tram from Ironforge, then walk to the canal between the Mage Quarter and the Trade District.
2. 2Pick up the Darkshire, Lakeshire and Dun Modr quests while you level in those zones; they are a long way from the city.

The portal is under Stormwind, in the prison by the canal that runs between the Trade District and the Mage Quarter: talk to Warden Thelwater at the door, go in and take the steps down. Forever’s Stormwind map is new, so coordinates from Classic guides point to the wrong place. There is no key or attunement.

Bosses

Targorr the Dread

An orc who fights with two weapons, usually in the cell north of the junction, though some groups find him in a side room off the first hall. A few Defias stand with him: crowd-control one, drag Targorr away from it and kill the loose add before him. Thrash makes his hits come in bursts, so keep a defensive cooldown for the end of the fight. His head is for What Comes Around…

Kam Deepfury

A Dark Iron warrior with a shield in a cell of the east hall. Shield Slam stuns the tank for 2 seconds, and Improved Blocking raises his block chance by 75% for 6 seconds, so melee can save big hits until it ends. A slow fight more than a hard one. Motley Garmason wants his head.

Hamhock

The ogre in the east round room, with two prisoners at his side. Control one of them and kill the other first. Interrupt his Chain Lightning every time and spread out so it reaches fewer of you; purge or dispel the Bloodlust that speeds him up by 30%.

Bazil Thredd

VanCleef's man and, at level 29, the strongest boss here, in the south-east cell beside Hamhock. Kill Hamhock first so the two never fight together, and clear the rooms on both sides. Smoke Bomb stuns everyone close for 4 seconds, so keep the tank topped up before it lands. His head is for The Stockade Riots.

Dextren Ward

He waits at the far end of the west hall. His Intimidating Shout sends the group running, so clear every cell near him before the pull or the fear drags in fresh prisoners; a Shaman's Tremor Totem cancels it. Councilman Millstipe wants his hand.

Bruegal Ironknuckle is a rare spawn who is missing from most runs. When he is there, he drops the best gear of the dungeon and has no tricks: clear around him and tank him.

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