WoW Forever dungeons and raids: every level range and the December 9 raids
WoW Forever adds nine new five-player dungeons for levels 13 to 60, and three raids open for level 60 players on December 9: Barrow Deeps (10 players), Hyjal Summit (20 players) and Onyxia’s Lair (40 players). All raids are planned to reset each week. Onyxia’s Lair still needs the Drakefire Amulet, so start the attunement before the raids open.

What to know before each dungeon
- Hall of Thanes: intruders, thought to be Dark Iron dwarves, have broken into the tombs of the dwarven monarchs. Easy to reach for the Alliance; Horde groups have to travel into Alliance land.
- Ruins of Lordaeron: help secure the ruined city against a necromancer gathering power. Easy to reach for the Horde; Alliance groups travel into Horde land.
- Excavation Site: a strange mist and flashes of light over a place that seems frozen in time.
- City of Dalaran: the barrier hiding the city’s restoration has fallen and its enchantments are backfiring. It needs a faction attunement questline before you can enter.
- The Drowned City: old troll ruins have risen from the sea, and a storm builds during the final fight.
- Krol’dok Stronghold: ogres have been kidnapping travelers in the Riverglades; the trail leads to their fortress.
- Alcaz Prison: the Defias Brotherhood and the naga fight inside the newly opened prison.
- Blackmaw Hold: behind a long-sealed gate in Azshara lies a great furbolg city, where the Blackmaw clan fights a spreading corruption. It is also one of the ways into the Barrow Deeps raid.
- Shaper’s Terrace: an ancient titan site above Un’Goro Crater’s dinosaurs, tar pits and crystals.
The WoW Forever raids (December 9)
On December 9, level 60 players can run three raids. All of them are planned to reset each week.
Barrow Deeps (10 players)
The former prison where Illidan Stormrage was held for 10,000 years, inside Mount Hyjal. It has eight bosses and several entrances, reached through Mount Hyjal, Winterspring and Blackmaw Hold.
Hyjal Summit (20 players)
At the top of Mount Hyjal, near the World Tree Nordrassil. It has 13 bosses, starting with a fight against an ancient guardian, and several routes across the mountain through ruins above and below ground.
Barrow Deeps and Hyjal Summit both bring new tier sets. A legendary reward is planned and will be revealed later.
Onyxia’s Lair (40 players)
Onyxia, the black dragon and younger sister of Nefarian, waits in Dustwallow Marsh. The fight has three phases with heavy fire attacks, so collect fire resistance gear before you go.
How to get attuned for Onyxia’s Lair
Every raider must carry the Drakefire Amulet in their bags (it does not need to be equipped). You earn it with a faction questline, and the elite quests are best done in a group.
- Alliance: starts in the Burning Steppes with Helendis Riverhorn’s quest “Dragonkin Menace”. The chain goes through Blackrock Depths, Stormwind and Upper Blackrock Spire, and ends with the amulet made from General Drakkisath’s blood.
- Horde: starts in the Badlands with Warlord Goretooth. The chain goes through Lower and Upper Blackrock Spire, Orgrimmar, Desolace, the Western Plaguelands and Dustwallow Marsh, where Emberstrife tests you against four named dragons. It ends with Rexxar handing you the amulet.
How to get ready for December 9
- Reach level 60. The leveling dungeons above are a good way to gear up on the way.
- Run Blackmaw Hold and Shaper’s Terrace, the two new level 55 to 60 dungeons.
- Finish the Onyxia attunement before the raids open, since it needs a long questline and group quests.
- Collect fire resistance for Onyxia’s fire attacks.
- Find a group on your ruleset and faction. You can only raid with players of the same ruleset and faction.
