Access

Faction entrance

Alliance-side dungeon. Horde: special access, method unknown.

Confirmed in Forever

At a glance

New in Forever: a linear dungeon in Old Ironforge, under the High Seat. 4 bosses among undead, Dark Iron dwarves and golems. Alliance-side; the Horde needs a long way round.

Tombs under a dwarf city. Dwarves bury their kings with their gold, right? Somebody has to check.

Who it's for

Alliance players: all 5 dungeon quests, from Ironforge, Dun Morogh and inside the dungeon.
Horde players can come, but sources disagree on which quests they get (to verify).
New dungeon in WoW Forever, for 5 players. One source describes a single linear path (to verify).

The route, in plain words

The tombs. Faldrim Anvilmar is in Anvilmar's Rest, a big central room reached through the west wing.
The cavern. Magmatus waits in a natural cave after the tombs, with a Dark Iron Summoner.
The tunnel. Plunder patrols a hallway after the Dark Iron pack with the Seaforium kegs.
The Reliquary of Kings. Durgen Dirgehammer is in the final room, with its vaults.

Boss order as given by the beta guides; we check it in game at launch. The second boss is called Magmatus by four sources and Infurnus in Kami-labs' beta data: to verify.

The bosses in one line each

Faldrim Anvilmar: clear the Enraged Apparitions first. Remove his curse (it slows attacks).
Magmatus: kill the Summoner first. Turn him away from the group; ranged stay away from his fire.
Plunder: pull him alone. Tank with your back to a wall so his knockback doesn't push you into a pack.
Durgen Dirgehammer: fears the group and bleeds the tank. Clear the Dark Iron Looters first. Sources disagree on whether to kill his two golems before or after him: to verify.

Quests to grab before you go

Take these before entering, or you'll run it twice:

Ironforge, near the entrance: Important Heirlooms (Thom Filch, by the bridge) and The Restless Dead (Afadra Dunwall).
Dun Morogh: Old Ironforge Incursion (Earthseer Farsen). You first need the Dark Iron Map from a Dark Iron Spy in east Dun Morogh. Sources name that first quest differently: to verify. Turn in to King Magni Bronzebeard.
Inside: An Ancient Grudge from the Ghostly Attendant.
Found in the final room: a tablet in a vault starts The Treaty of Understanding. It can't be shared and gives experience only.

Minimum levels range from 9 to 16 depending on the source: to verify.

Watch out

Dark Iron Engineers throw bombs: Polymorph or Sap them.
Dark Iron Summoners cast fireballs and call fire elementals: pull them around corners.
Durgen's fear: a Tremor Totem helps.
Many Heirlooms for Important Heirlooms are behind the vaults in Durgen's room (to verify).
