Wailing Caverns quests and loot in WoW: Forever

Every Wailing Caverns 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.

Community Updated How we tag claims
On this page

Wailing Caverns gives the Horde seven quests and the Alliance five, two of them picked up at its entrance. Our beta cache holds the XP for four of the Horde’s: 12,871 between them, about two thirds of a level at 18.

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. Confirmed The Sun On October 1 it halved that extra, and dungeon quests still pay more than normal ones. Confirmed Blizzard, October 1 The numbers here are the beta’s last build (70532) and may change at launch. To fit Wailing Caverns into the whole road to 30, open it in the dungeon quest planner.
