Two drops are worth a second look. The Fallenroot Longbow from Lorgus Jett lists 13.86 DPS on Wowhead, among the top three bows in the 21-30 band. Gelihast also drops the Murloc Skin Bag, a 10-slot bag, which is a solid upgrade at this level if you don't craft your own.

What level should you be for Blackfathom Deeps in Forever?

Aim for the mid-20s. Wowhead lists the dungeon at 22-32, and the first bosses drop gear with required level 22, while Aku'mai's loot asks for 24-26.

Forever has no level scaling. A group at 24-26 clears more comfortably than a group at 22, and the late quests (quest level 27) still give good experience at that point.

Is Blackfathom Deeps good experience in WoW: Forever?

Yes, especially if you carry the quests. At launch Blizzard moved dungeon experience toward quests, so most of a run's experience comes from the turn-ins rather than the kills.

Blizzard then raised dungeon kill experience by 50% in a hotfix on November 8 so that repeat runs feel better. A second run without quests is now worth more than it was in launch week, but a single quest-loaded clear is still the most efficient way to use the dungeon.

Is Blackfathom Deeps Alliance or Horde in Forever?

Both. Wowhead marks it as contested territory in Ashenvale. Alliance quests come from Darnassus, Auberdine and Ironforge, and Horde quests come from Stonetalon Mountains, Zoram'gar Outpost and Thunder Bluff.

Grouping still works within one ruleset and one faction only, so you can't fill the group from the other side.

What drops are new in Forever's Blackfathom Deeps?

Lorgus Jett's whole table is new: Twilight Maul, Treacherous Treads and Fallenroot Longbow. Spiked Shell Band from Ghamoo-ra, Cursed Murloc Eye from Gelihast and Twilight Lord Girdle from Kelris are also new.

Drop rates aren't published, so don't count on any one item from a single clear. Blizzard has said that unique dungeon boss items in Forever are blue (Rare) quality.

If you're choosing a dungeon in this level band, compare the neighbours below. Blackfathom Deeps sits between the Excavation Site and City of Dalaran, and a level 26-30 character gets something useful from all three.

If you'd rather do the run with an experienced group, PewPewShop's vetted human players handle Forever dungeon runs as play-together sessions, from 23 EUR. They can explain each pull as you go.
