Ruins of Lordaeron quests and loot in WoW: Forever
Every Ruins of Lordaeron 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
Ruins of Lordaeron is new in Forever, and both factions run it at 15 to 20. The Horde collects its quests in Brill, the Sepulcher and Undercity; the Alliance’s are picked up inside, one in our data and three more that community sources report.
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 Ruins of Lordaeron into the whole road to 30, open it in the dungeon quest planner.
