Wowhead lists six named bosses in Alcaz Prison. Almost every drop is an item added in Forever. The loot data is still partial because Wowhead is still collecting Forever drops, so read the table as "confirmed so far" and not as the full loot table.
Every boss in order of level, with the items Wowhead has confirmed so far as dropping only from that boss. Wowhead is still collecting Forever loot data for this dungeon (read November 11, 2026), so the lists will grow. Hover any item for the Wowhead tooltip.
Wowhead also lists these bosses with no items that drop only from them (they share the dungeon's common loot): Commander Folkar.

Where is the Alcaz Prison entrance?
The Alcaz Prison entrance is on Alcaz Island, off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh. Blizzard has not published exact entrance coordinates, so set a waypoint on the island in game when you arrive.
Alliance players have the short trip, because the Theramore flight point is close to the island. Horde players usually fly to Brackenwall Village in the north of the marsh and cross the zone from there, which takes longer. Pick up your Theramore or Brackenwall quests on the way.
Which Alcaz Prison quests should you pick up?
Alliance players can get eight Alcaz Prison quests and Horde players can get ten, counting the three that both factions share. Per Wowhead, every one of them is quest level 53.
- Both factions: The Man in the Iron Chains, More Valuable Than Gold, State Secrets
- Alliance: The Dragon's Journal (from level 46), The Secret Prison, Somber News, State Secrets, A Bit of Wet Work
- Horde: No Orc Left Behind, The Honor of the Kor'kron, Thrall Needs to Know, A Little Payback, Blood Red Bandanas, Bad News for Folkar, State Secrets
Is Alcaz Prison worth running for experience?
Yes, at least once with the full set of quests. Since launch, dungeon quests give most of a dungeon's experience. Blizzard's November 8 hotfix also raised dungeon kill XP by 50%, to 60% of Classic Era values.
Blizzard says dungeon leveling speed now fits the rest of Forever. In practice, the first run with all the quests is the big payoff. Repeat runs are now a reasonable choice if you are chasing a specific drop. They are not obviously faster than questing.
Which Alcaz Prison drops are worth farming?
The two trinkets, the two-hand mace and the wand are the drops most groups go back for. Fingerbreaker Stamp drops from The Questioner and Zarla's Snack Pouch from Blazeroar. Alcaz Willcrusher is Overseer Wrex's two-hand mace, and the Tidesong Wand drops from Tidemistress Ca'zass.
Their stats and effects are not in the data we can confirm, so check the in-game tooltips before you commit to a long farm. Plate wearers should note that Grips of Control and Girdle of Extracted Answers drop from two different bosses, so filling both slots can take more than one run.
Does Alcaz Prison count toward Legacy?
It does. One Legacy Challenge in the Dungeons category asks you to defeat the final boss of every dungeon for levels 46-60, and Alcaz Prison falls in that band. Alcaz Prison is also on the "Master" Spelunker achievement list that Wowhead photographed at BlizzCon.
If you would rather run Alcaz Prison with a group that already knows the route, PewPewShop's vetted human players offer a full run, with prices starting at from 23 EUR.

Frequently asked questions
What level is Alcaz Prison in WoW Forever?
Alcaz Prison is a dungeon for levels 48 to 53, according to Blizzard's dungeon overview. Its quests are all quest level 53. Most need character level 48, and The Dragon's Journal can be picked up from level 46. Forever has no level scaling, so a group that is over-leveled for Alcaz Prison will find it noticeably easier.
Where is Alcaz Prison located?
Alcaz Prison is on Alcaz Island, off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh in Kalimdor. It is a contested dungeon, so both factions can run it. Alliance players can fly to Theramore, which is close to the island. Horde players usually fly to Brackenwall Village and cross the marsh.
How many bosses are in Alcaz Prison?
Wowhead lists six named bosses in Alcaz Prison: Commander Folkar, Overseer Wrex, Tidemistress Ca'zass, The Questioner, Katerina the Cleaner and Blazeroar. The enemies inside are the Defias Brotherhood and naga. Wowhead is still collecting loot data, so the boss loot tables may grow.
Is Alcaz Prison Alliance or Horde?
Alcaz Prison is a contested dungeon for both factions. Three of its quests are shared: The Man in the Iron Chains, More Valuable Than Gold and State Secrets. Alliance players get five quests of their own and Horde players get seven, so Horde players have more quests to collect for this dungeon.
Does Alcaz Prison have a dungeon map in Forever?
Probably not. Blizzard's designers said WoW: Forever will probably have no dungeon maps, because they want dungeons to feel like exploring and not like a shortest-route run. Learn the layout over a few runs, or let a player who already knows it lead the group.
