Dalaran Dungeon in WoW: Forever — What Is the Level 28–33 City-Dungeon?

Update, October 20, 2026: Blizzard's dungeon overview gives all nine ranges: Hall of Thanes 13–18, Ruins of Lordaeron 15–20, Excavation Site 24–29, City of Dalaran 28–33, The Drowned City 35–40, Krol'dok Stronghold 40–45, Alcaz Prison 48–53, Blackmaw Hold 55–60, Shaper's Terrace 58–60. Beta update, October 1: the City of Dalaran dungeon is not in the level-30 beta build; Blizzard says it comes in a later update. Beta update, September 29: Dalaran City is open on the beta and Wowhead found the way in: Alliance enter through the Dalaran Sewers from Cantrips & Crows; Horde enter the dungeon with the Dalaran Sewer Key; since the October 15 build the Horde is attacked on sight in the open-world city, and the key quest no longer opens it, while the City of Dalaran dungeon stays open to both factions. Portal, trainers and battlemasters: what to do in Dalaran.

Dalaran in World of Warcraft: Forever is a new city-dungeon for levels 28–33, one of nine dungeons launching with the game on November 4, 2026. It is the first time the mage city is a playable instance at this level range. Blizzard has not published its boss list or loot yet, so anyone giving you a boss order right now is guessing.

Dalaran dungeon: quick facts

Level range	28–33 (Blizzard's dungeon overview)
Type	City-dungeon (the dungeon is the city itself, not a wing beneath it)
Game version	World of Warcraft: Forever (the third WoW experience next to Modern and Classic, often called Classic+)
Available from	November 4, 2026, 3:00 p.m. PST worldwide, with any active subscription or Game Time
Beta	September 17 – October 23, 2026, but beta characters cap at level 30, so only levels 28–30 of the bracket are testable
Bosses / loot	Not published by Blizzard
Faction	Not announced as faction-locked (Lordaeron and Hall of Thanes are the two faction-flavoured ones)

At 28–33, Dalaran sits above Hall of Thanes (13–18), Lordaeron (15–20) and the Excavation Site (24–29) and below The Drowned City (35–40). Entry needs an attunement: Alliance start with "An Alarming Request" in Southshore, Horde with "Key to the City" and "Prison Break-In" in Tarren Mill. You enter through the sewers and choose among several paths and encounters on the way into the city, per Blizzard.

Is Dalaran a real dungeon in Classic?

Not in original Classic, Classic Era or the Anniversary realms. In those versions Dalaran is a purple-domed bubble in Alterac Mountains you can look at but never enter. The city-dungeon is new content built by the Classic team specifically for Forever, alongside the Riverglades leveling zone, Mount Hyjal as an endgame zone, and the two new raids. If you are searching for a Dalaran dungeon on a Classic Era server, you will not find one — you need Forever.

What level should I be to run Dalaran in WoW: Forever?

Blizzard's dungeon overview lists it at 28–33. Forever has no level scaling, so the instance does not adjust to you: at 28 you are at the bottom of the range and will want a full group with a tank and healer who know their kit; by 32–33 it becomes comfortable.

What other dungeons come with WoW: Forever?

Nine new dungeons ship at launch. Alongside Dalaran: Lordaeron (15–20, Horde-flavoured, Alliance can enter), Hall of Thanes (13–18, Alliance-flavoured, Horde can enter), Excavation Site in the Wetlands, The Drowned City (a troll ruin off Stranglethorn Vale), Alcaz Island Prison, The Shaper's Terrace, Krol'Dok Stronghold (40–45; Alcaz 48–53, Shaper's Terrace 58–60), and Blackmaw Hold, a furbolg city. Whether the original Classic dungeons remain in their familiar form has not been detailed. The spring 2027 roadmap adds two more dungeons, and summer 2027 another two.

When can I actually play it?

Launch is November 4, 2026. If you have the Skyborne Epic Pack or the Warcraft Forever Collection, the beta ran September 17 to October 23 — level-capped at 30, so you can test only levels 28–30 of Dalaran's bracket. Name reservation and character creation open October 27 through November 3 with any upgrade pack, up to three characters. Nothing extra is required to play Forever itself beyond an active subscription or Game Time.

Getting through Dalaran without the pickup-group lottery

If you would rather run the mage city with a group that already knows the pulls than wait in a level-30 LFG queue, PewPewShop offers a Dalaran Dungeon Run (28–33) from EUR 42 as a Forever launch order, or a Forever Dungeon Run for any dungeon from EUR 23. All runs are done with vetted human players — coaching, play-together or rent-a-pro, no bots, no cheats — and bookings are open until launch on November 4.
