Blackfathom Deeps quests and loot in WoW: Forever
Every Blackfathom Deeps quest in World of Warcraft: Forever for the Horde and the Alliance: where each starts and from what level, in pickup order, with the XP, money and items the quests give and what the bosses drop, sorted for your class.
On this page
Blackfathom Deeps has seven Horde quests, most of them from Zoram’gar Outpost, and five Alliance ones, mostly from Ironforge, Auberdine and Darnassus. The Alliance’s first seen in Forever opens at level 18, well before the run at 24 to 32; Knowledge in the Deeps is listed from 10, Classic’s level, until our play sees it.
Blizzard cut the XP from dungeon trash in Forever and raised it for dungeon quests, so a dungeon’s first clear with its quests is where its XP is. On October 1 it halved that extra, and dungeon quests still pay more than normal ones. The numbers here are the beta’s last build (70532) and may change at launch. To fit Blackfathom Deeps into the whole road to 30, open it in the dungeon quest planner.
