WoW: Forever Dungeons Guide All 9 New Dungeons

World of Warcraft: Forever (the reimagined "Classic+", also called WoW Forever) launched worldwide on November 4, 2026 with nine brand-new dungeons layered on top of the classic ones. Blizzard hasn't published full boss rosters yet, so the names, level bands and zones below are what several trackers agree on, with every still-unconfirmed detail flagged.

01The Nine New Dungeons at a Glance

Every tracker we checked lists the same nine. Level ranges are the ones published so far and may shift before launch:

• Hall of Thanes — 13–18, dwarven burial chambers beneath Ironforge
• Ruins of Lordaeron — 15–20, Tirisfal Glades
• Excavation Site (Wetlands) — 24–29, Wetlands; the final name is not confirmed
• City of Dalaran — 28–33, Alterac Mountains
• The Drowned City — 35–40, Stranglethorn Vale coast
• Krol'dok Stronghold — 40–45, the new Riverglades zone
• Alcaz Prison — 48–53, Dustwallow Marsh
• Blackmaw Hold — 55–60, Azshara
• Shaper's Terrace — 58–60, Un'Goro Crater

The ranges overlap on purpose: you can mix and match, rather than follow a single dungeon ladder.

02Early, Mid and Endgame Picks

Levels 13–20: Hall of Thanes and Ruins of Lordaeron. One tracker describes them as Alliance-focused and Horde-focused respectively; treat that as unconfirmed.

Levels 24–40: Excavation Site, City of Dalaran and The Drowned City fill the gap where classic leveling dungeons used to be thin.

Levels 40–60: Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison, Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace. Blackmaw Hold's tunnels reportedly lead toward the Barrow Deeps raid (story link only; no attunement announced), and Shaper's Terrace is the highest-level starter dungeon at 58–60.

03What Isn't Confirmed Yet

Be careful with anything claiming exact numbers:

• Boss rosters: only a few counts are published so far (Hall of Thanes is reported at four bosses, The Drowned City at three). Full rosters for all nine are not out.
• Group size: the nine new dungeons use the standard five-player format WoW dungeons have always used. Blizzard has not published an exception for any of them.
• Loot: no guaranteed-rarity drop is confirmed for any boss; Warcraft Tavern does note that every item that drops unlocks its transmog appearance account-wide for everyone who loots it, even without winning the roll.
• Level bands: classic-dungeon ranges come from the Classic Era client and are explicitly not confirmed for Forever.

These details come from beta coverage; the beta closed on October 23, before the November 4 launch, and no tracker has yet published a post-launch correction, so treat the beta figures as the best available estimate until one does. See our Beta Guide for what the beta covered.

04Classic Dungeons Still Exist

The new nine are additions, not replacements. Wailing Caverns, for example, is still in, and beta data reports it as a level 17–24 dungeon with eight bosses plus a rare spawn (the Deviate Faerie Dragon), ending with Mutanus the Devourer after the Naralex event. Numbers for classic dungeons come from beta datamining sites, so cross-check them at launch.

There is no instant dungeon teleport reported: you travel to the entrance, though a Warlock can summon the group there, per Warcraft Tavern's guide.

05How to Prepare

• Level through zones near each dungeon's band; see the Leveling Guide.
• Don't farm dungeons for XP: the beta cut dungeon mob XP and moved it into the dungeon's own quests, so Warcraft Tavern and Icy Veins both report that repeat runs after finishing a dungeon's questline give considerably less experience than open-world questing.
