DUNGEON · LEVEL 55-60

Lower Blackrock Spire

Atop Blackrock Mountain rises the fortress that the black dragon Nefarian seized from the Dark Iron dwarves. The lower part has been taken by the orc Rend Blackhand's Dark Horde: Spirestone ogres, Smolderthorn trolls, spiders and worgs that serve as the antechamber to the Black Dragonflight's domain. It's long, with many paths and bosses, and it's where you get the seal that opens Upper Spire.

Inside Blackrock Mountain, between the Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes. Inside, climb the chains from the central platform to the second-floor ledge and follow the wall to the only balcony: the Blackrock Spire portal is there. Lower Spire doesn't need a key. Upper Blackrock Spire (UBS) requires the Seal of Ascension, obtained through the quest of the same name: it starts inside Lower Spire (Scarshield Infiltrator) by collecting the gems dropped by LBRS bosses.

Forever level ranges: Icy Veins (beta) 55-60; Warcraft Tavern 57-60. Upper Blackrock Spire (UBS) appears in Forever guides as a separate level 60 dungeon (Icy Veins 59-60, Warcraft Tavern 60), and the two count separately for the Legacy challenge "Master Spelunker" (Icy Veins). Dungeon sets (Tier 0 / Dungeon Set 1): the pieces that drop here in Classic (Wildheart, Beaststalker, Shadowcraft, Boots of Elements) exist in the Forever data with retuned stats and set bonuses reworked into 2/3/4/5/6 pieces (e.g. Beaststalker: 2 = +8 to all resistances, 3 = +30 attack power…), according to Wowhead's Forever tooltips; Icy Veins says the vanilla versions of T0 are visible and that Blizzard might end up using other variants, so it's not confirmed they'll keep dropping. Some boss items already have Forever data (Blackcrow goes to +0.9% hit). According to Icy Veins, Blackrock Spire has 249 hidden items and 32 revealed: the Classic loot may change. In addition, loot unlocks appearances for everyone and dungeon experience shifts mostly to quests. The beta only goes up to level 30: it hasn't been possible to test it.

Ogre with two guards: CC or kill the adds; cleave and knockback, so the tank faces him away from the group.

• The first corridors are the most dangerous because of how packed the groups are: pull one at a time and always open on the casters.
• If anyone is doing the Seal of Ascension, don't skip Omokk, Voone or Wyrmthalak: their gems are needed for the seal.
• For Urok, save mana and CC: the ogre waves beforehand wear you down more than the boss himself; the pike on the pile kills one ogre every 30 s.
