DUNGEON · LEVEL 26-32
The Stockade
Beneath the canals of Stormwind lies the kingdom's high-security prison, where thieves, Defias rebels, murderers and the odd Blackrock orc are locked up. The prisoners have rioted and taken over the cells, and the guards are asking for help to put down the revolt. It's a short, T-shaped dungeon of corridors and cells, with bosses that usually wait with company.
How to get there
Stormwind, in the Canals next to the Mage Quarter (around 42, 58 according to Warcraft Tavern), inside a building north of the district. No key. In practice Alliance-only: it's inside the capital and all its quests are Alliance quests.
What changes in Forever
Level range according to Forever sources: Icy Veins (beta) 24-32; Warcraft Tavern 25-29. It's the one whose loot changes the most: in Classic its bosses barely dropped anything of their own, and in Forever each one has 3-4 new items (Blackrock Harness, Kam's Walking Stick, Repurposed Rack, Graverobber's Shovel, Nightskulker Ring, Debt Collector, Concealed Hand Crossbow...); Bruegal Ironknuckle keeps his classic loot. According to Warcraft Tavern, it otherwise barely changes. Beta notes: less experience from dungeon quests in general.
Bosses and loot
1Targorr the Dread
Dual-wielding orc, Thrash and Enrage at 30%; kill the Defias with him first.
2Kam Deepfury
Defensive dwarf with a stunning Shield Bash; same plan: adds first.
3Hamhock
Ogre with Chain Lightning: spread out so it doesn't jump between players.
4Bazil Thredd
Slightly higher level; Smoke Bomb stuns everyone around him for 4 s, and fast hits on the tank.
5Dextren Ward
Intimidating Shout (AoE fear): clear the nearby cells first.
6Bruegal Ironknuckle
Rare, doesn't always spawn; tank and spank, the dangerous part is his adds.

Tips
- Almost every boss waits with Defias beside them: CC or kill the adds before focusing on the boss.
- Against Bazil Thredd, make sure the tank is at full health before each Smoke Bomb: nobody can heal during the stun.
- Come with The Unsent Letter chain (The Deadmines) already finished and pick up the quests from Redridge, Duskwood and the Wetlands: almost all of them are turned in here in one go.
