Dungeon & Raid Directory
Nine dungeons. Three raids.
Forever launches with nine brand-new 5-player dungeons, and its first raids unlock together on December 9. This directory prints what is known — levels, places, sizes — and labels what Blizzard has not published yet.

The nine new dungeons
| Dungeon | Levels | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | 13–18 | Beneath Ironforge | Alliance-easy access; Horde must brave Alliance territory. |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 15–20 | Above Undercity | The mirror of Hall of Thanes, on Horde ground. |
| Excavation Site | 24–29 | Wetlands, above Whelgar's Excavation | See the note below — two level ranges are in circulation. |
| City of Dalaran | 28–33 | Alterac Mountains | Attunement required; entry is via the sewers. Horde chain starts at Tarren Mill, Alliance at Southshore. |
| The Drowned City | 35–40 | Off the Stranglethorn coast | Underwater entrance; the weather builds to a storm during the run. |
| Krol'dok Stronghold | 40–45 | Riverglades | Listed by Blizzard among the nine (fact wf-0167). |
| Alcaz Prison | 48–53 | Alcaz Island | Defias versus naga — and the King Varian mystery. |
| Blackmaw Hold | 55–60 | Azshara | A furbolg city with multiple routes; a path below leads toward the Barrow Deeps. |
| Shaper's Terrace | 58–60 | Northern Un'Goro Crater | A titan facility; bring Un'Goro power crystals for its consoles. |
All nine are 5-player, at launch, alongside the returning Classic roster (facts wf-0167, wf-0170). Reports differ — Excavation Site: Blizzard's October 20 dungeon article lists levels 24–29 (wf-0168); October 1 beta notes listed 26–31 (wf-0169). The newer, official article is the one in the table; the beta figure stays visible here because the guild prints both.
No Heroic or Mythic difficulty modes and no automatic Dungeon Finder were announced; both are best described as not officially published rather than confirmed absent. Dungeon lockouts are likewise unpublished. (Fact wf-0173)
The raids — unlock December 9
No raids exist at launch. All three open December 9, 2026, at level 60, currently planned to reset weekly. (Fact wf-0174)
10
Barrow Deeps
8 bosses, inside Mount Hyjal, with entrances via Mount Hyjal, Winterspring and Blackmaw Hold. No attunement listed. (Fact wf-0175)
20
Hyjal Summit
13 bosses at the summit near Nordrassil, with multiple route choices after an ancient-guardian opener. No attunement listed. Blizzard has teased new tier sets and a legendary reward for the Hyjal raids — the legendary's identity is unpublished. (Facts wf-0176, wf-0184)
40
Onyxia's Lair
One boss, three phases, in Dustwallow Marsh — bring fire resistance. Every raider must carry the Drakefire Amulet in their inventory; it does not need to be equipped. The attunement chain is long and published by Blizzard for both factions — start it early. (Facts wf-0177–0179)
One guild, three roster sizes in the same week: community discussion among guild leaders already flags the scheduling problem — a 40-player roster implies 1×40 + 2×20 + 4×10 runs. Rise plans for it in November. (Fact wf-0242 — community)
Not yet published Gaps — nobody knows yet
Loot rules
Group loot, master loot and need/greed specifics for raids and dungeons were not found in any Blizzard article. World bosses at launch: none announced. (Fact wf-0180)
Boss & loot details
Details for most new dungeons and both new raids are intentionally undiscovered — several dungeons were never in the beta and loot is partly encrypted by design. (Fact wf-0183)
Molten Core
Not at launch and not dated. The setting sits before Molten Core opens in-story; a reworked version has been discussed for later. Calling the Summer 2027 raid “Molten Core” is speculation. (Fact wf-0181)
