Overview
Blackmaw Hold is a furbolg city in Azshara, behind a gate that stayed sealed for ages. The Blackmaw clan lives there and is fighting off a corruption spreading through its halls. The hold has several routes and several bosses, and its deepest passages lead further down, beneath Azeroth.
It's one of WoW Forever's nine new dungeons, a five-player run for levels 55 to 60, and one of the dungeons to gear up in before the raids open on December 9. It follows Alcaz Prison, sits alongside Dire Maul and Lower Blackrock Spire, and the last new dungeon, Shaper's Terrace, comes right after it.
Getting there
The gate to Blackmaw Hold is in Azshara, on the north-east coast of Kalimdor.
- Alliance: fly to Talrendis Point in the south-west of Azshara.
- Horde: fly to Valormok, at the zone's western edge.
Azshara is contested, so travel to the gate as a group.
Who can go
Both factions can run Blackmaw Hold. As in every dungeon, your group has to share your faction and your ruleset. Killing the last boss counts toward the Legacy challenge for the dungeons of the 46-60 range (Legacy).
The Blackmaw and the Barrow Deeps
The tunnels below the hold are one of the three ways into the Barrow Deeps, the 10-player raid that opens on December 9. The other two doors are in Mount Hyjal and Winterspring.
Two items carry the clan's name: pouches the Blackmaw furbolgs in Ursolan take from those who want to earn their trust, and a ritual totem for a quest.
