DUNGEON · LEVEL 31-37
Gnomeregan
The old gnome capital, an underground city full of machinery that its people had to abandon when the troggs rose up from the depths. To drive them out, Mekgineer Thermaplugg proposed flooding it with radiation, and the cure was worse than the disease: many gnomes were trapped and turned into lepers, while the troggs were mutated but still alive. Thermaplugg, the traitor, stayed inside as lord of the ruins, surrounded by robots and walking bombs.
How to get there
Northwestern Dun Morogh, around 24, 40. The Alliance walks there from Ironforge and takes an elevator down to the outer tunnels. The Horde can use the goblin transporter in Booty Bay after the quest «Chief Engineer Scooty» (Sovik, Orgrimmar), which drops you at the entrance. There is a back door to the north of the outer area that opens with the Workshop Key, dropped by Electrocutioner 6000 inside.
What changes in Forever
Warcraft Tavern (Forever guide) lists it as 29-38. It was already available in the beta before the level cap went up to 30 (1 October notes). New quest rewards confirmed in the Forever database: Technician's Bracers («A Fine Mess») and Operator's Gloves («Gyrodrillmatic Excavationators»). In Forever, Gnomebot Operating Boots go from green to blue. General beta changes: dungeon quests give 50% less bonus experience and dungeon enemies give 20% more.

Tips
- Careful on the catwalks: enemies on the lower levels can be pulled from above and they come up the long way round, so lots of them end up stacking.
- On Thermaplugg, have one or two people do nothing but press the vent buttons; otherwise the bombs will wipe the group.
- Kill Electrocutioner 6000 even if you don't need him: the Workshop Key saves you the long walk on your next run.
