Where is the Ring of Law in Blackrock Depths?

The Ring of Law is the arena inside BRD, where High Justice Grimstone sentences your group to fight gladiators. Wowhead lists Gorosh the Dervish, Grizzle, Eviscerator, Ok'thor the Breaker, Anub'shiah and Hedrum the Creeper in the dungeon. Five of them drop a piece of the Savage Gladiator mail set: Chain, Grips, Leggings, Greaves or Helm.

In Classic the Ring sent out one of these gladiators per run. Blizzard has not said whether Forever keeps that rotation unchanged. The arena also hosts the quest The Challenge (level 60, requires 58). You place the Banner of Provocation in the center, kill Theldren and his gladiators, and Theldren drops the Top Piece of Lord Valthalak's Amulet.

How do you kill Emperor Thaurissan and save Princess Moira?

Both factions have a quest chain that ends at the emperor's throne. For Alliance it is The Fate of the Kingdom from King Magni Bronzebeard, which follows Kharan Mighthammer's chain. For Horde it is The Royal Rescue from Thrall. Both ask you to deal with Thaurissan and free Princess Moira Bronzebeard. The follow-ups are The Princess's Surprise (Alliance) and The Princess Saved? (Horde).

Which BRD quests matter most in WoW: Forever?

The highest-value chain for Alliance is the Onyxia attunement. Blizzard's raid overview sends it through BRD with Marshal Windsor, A Crumpled Up Note, A Shred of Hope and Jail Break!. Every raider needs the Drakefire Amulet before Onyxia's Lair opens on December 9.

Other popular quests, per Questie's quest database:

• Horde: Commander Gor'shak and What Is Going On?, Disharmony of Fire (Lord Incendius), The Rise of the Machines (Golem Lord Argelmach), Operation: Death to Angerforge
• Alliance: Incendius!, The Good Stuff (20 Dark Iron Fanny Packs), Hurley Blackbreath
• Both factions: Dark Iron Legacy (a key into the city), The Heart of the Mountain, A Taste of Flame (Bael'Gar), Ribbly Screwspigot, The Love Potion

Is Blackrock Depths still worth running at level 60?

Yes, mainly for the trinkets and rings. Hand of Justice, Naglering, Force of Will and Second Wind are items many players hunt before raids. Blizzard also says older content should stay relevant longer, because gear progression between tiers in Forever is kept small.

BRD also has crafting value. Wowhead lists patterns such as Pattern: Runic Leather Pants and Plans: Dark Iron Plate, plus the quest A Binding Contract for the Sulfuron plans.

Is BRD the Forever mega dungeon?

No new mega dungeon has been confirmed. When a player asked for a BRD-like mega dungeon, Blizzard's Josh Greenfield replied "Hold our beer(s)". Wowhead read that reply as a hint toward Blackmaw Hold (55-60), but that is Wowhead's reading. The original BRD is still the big one at launch.

If you would rather do a long BRD clear or a specific boss with a vetted pro in your group, PewPewShop's Forever dungeon runs start at from 23 EUR. A Forever pre-raid gearing package that covers dungeons like this one starts at from 270 EUR.

Who is the final boss of Blackrock Depths?

The final boss is Emperor Dagran Thaurissan, who sits in the throne room with Princess Moira Bronzebeard. Per Wowhead, his drops in Forever include Hand of Justice, Ironfoe, Robes of the Royal Crown and Emperor's Seal. A November 9 hotfix fixed the throne room doors not opening after a wipe.

What is the Ring of Law in BRD?

The Ring of Law is the arena in Blackrock Depths, where High Justice Grimstone sends gladiators against your group. Wowhead lists Savage Gladiator mail pieces from Gorosh, Eviscerator, Ok'thor, Anub'shiah and Hedrum. The quest The Challenge summons Theldren there with the Banner of Provocation.

Do Alliance players need Blackrock Depths for Onyxia in WoW: Forever?

Yes. Blizzard's raid overview sends the Alliance Drakefire Amulet chain through Blackrock Depths with Marshal Windsor, A Crumpled Up Note, A Shred of Hope and Jail Break!. Every member of the raid needs the amulet in their inventory to enter Onyxia's Lair, which opens on December 9.

Is there a map for Blackrock Depths in WoW: Forever?

Probably not. Blizzard designer Jay Hartman said Forever will probably not have dungeon maps, because the team wants dungeons to feel like exploration rather than a shortest-route run. For a sprawling dungeon like BRD, most groups take someone along who already knows the layout.
