Do you need a key to enter Scholomance in Forever?
The Forever data we can confirm doesn't say what opens the Scholomance door. In original Classic, groups needed one player carrying a Skeleton Key from a faction quest chain. Blizzard hasn't published whether Forever keeps that rule, so check the entrance with your group before the run.
Is Scholomance worth running before raids open?
Yes, for most level 60 characters. Raids unlock on December 9, and Scholomance is one of the densest sources of Dungeon Set 1 pieces and 56-57 blues in the game. The Gandling and Ras recipes also add value for crafters.
For Legacy points, clearing the final boss of every 46-60 dungeon is its own Dungeons challenge, and Scholomance counts toward it.
If you'd rather have a vetted group of experienced players clear Scholomance with you, PewPewShop's Forever dungeon runs start at from 23 EUR. Full pre-raid gearing is also available.
