Overview

The City of Dalaran takes your group into Dalaran, the city of the Kirin Tor mages in the Alterac Mountains. With nine bosses, it is one of the longest dungeons in your 20s, second only to Shadowfang Keep.

It's a dungeon for your late 20s. It comes after Excavation Site: Wetlands and before the Scarlet Monastery, and it gives both factions a new dungeon in that gap.

It isn't open in the beta yet, so this guide covers the boss list and how to prepare, without loot or quests.

Getting there

Dalaran lies in the Alterac Mountains, the range north of Hillsbrad Foothills. Head north out of Hillsbrad: Southshore is the Alliance town there, Tarren Mill the Horde's. The Alterac Mountains are contested territory.

Bosses

In the Underbelly, at the ritual circle, with Kirin Tor Necromancers around him and skeletons that keep rising. He disarms. Seen dropping Gravespike Repeater, a crossbow.

Arcane Anomaly

Level 30Elite

Out of the sewers, on a round terrace in the streets. The group first pulled it out of a bubble. It casts Arcane Bolt and Focal Blast, a beam.

Fel Ancient

Level 32Elite

A fel-green treant in the streets, among Suffused Treants.

Unstable Sentinel

Level 31Elite

An arcane golem by the Magus Commerce Exchange, with Angry Tomes as adds. Malfunction hits everyone within 25 yards: the group first ran out, then stayed in to finish it. Dropped Guardian’s Dualblade.

A level 27 Mana Wraith was pulled with the trash in the streets. Nothing shows it was the boss.

No fight details recorded yet.

Mana Elemental

No fight details recorded yet.

With the Shade, it is the only boss whose kills the files count.

Shade of the Archmage

Level 33EliteFinal boss

The last boss of the run, in the Purple Parlor of the Violet Citadel. Bounding Mana goes to one player: don’t stand in line with them. He polymorphs the whole group, and resets if someone leaves the room. His last words: “What is this... fading...”. Dropped Ponderous Orb. The Legacy challenge counts the dungeon as done when he dies.

Tips

  • Nine bosses make a long run. Stock food, water, healing potions and bandages for a full clear.
  • Go in with a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and make sure someone in the group brings crowd control.
  • Train your new ranks and repair before you leave town.
  • The Alterac Mountains are contested, so travel to the entrance as a group.
