Overview

Stratholme lies in the Eastern Plaguelands. The city plays in two parts: the Live side, where Balnazzar is the final boss, and the Undead side, which leads to Baron Rivendare. It targets levels 58–60.

The boss list is the Classic one; no boss change has been announced for Forever, to be confirmed in game.

Tips

  1. Aim for level 60: it is hard from 54.
  2. Pick up the dungeon quests before your first run: they give most of the experience.
Forever dungeon rulesThe same in every instance
  • Monsters give less experience and dungeon quests much more: your first run pays the most
  • An item nobody looted in the instance is mailed to you afterwards
  • When a rare item drops, the whole group unlocks its appearance for transmog (not in raids, not for epic items)
  • Meeting stones no longer summon: a list-based group finder replaces them
