Overview

City of Dalaran takes your group through the sewers and streets of the Kirin Tor's city. It's one of WoW Forever's new dungeons, open from launch, with eight bosses and a run for levels 28 to 33.

It comes after Excavation Site: Wetlands and before the Scarlet Monastery, and it gives both factions a new dungeon in that gap. Unlike the other new dungeons, it has an attunement: you need the Kirin Tor's trust before your first run. Select an encounter above to see its loot and fight notes.

Attunement

Each faction starts its attunement in Hillsbrad Foothills, at the foot of the mountains:

  • Alliance: An Alarming Request, from Emissary Jacques in Southshore.
  • Horde: Key to the City and Prison Break In, from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill.

You go in through the sewers, and once inside the city your group picks its way along one of several paths. Finish the chain before you plan the first run.

Horde in Dalaran

Dalaran is no friend of the Horde. Outside the dungeon, the city's guards attack Horde characters on sight. The Horde chain still gives you the Dalaran Sewer Key, but the key only gets you into the dungeon: it no longer opens the rest of the city. Horde characters can't earn Kirin Tor reputation either. None of this affects the dungeon itself.

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.

Quests

Pick up the dungeon quests before entering. Check each quest's level requirement, faction and prerequisites; a quest's listed level is not always its minimum starting level.

Tips

  • Tip

    Finish your faction's attunement before you form a group.

  • Tip

    Horde groups: meet at the entrance, not in the city. The guards attack you on sight outside the dungeon.

  • Tip

    Stock food, water, healing potions and bandages before a full clear.

  • Tip

    Go in with a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and make sure someone in the group brings crowd control.

  • Tip

    The Alterac Mountains are contested, so travel to the entrance as a group.
