What level should you be for Sunken Temple in Forever?
Go in at about level 50 with a full group. Wowhead lists the dungeon as 50-60. Most quests here need level 46 to pick up, but the bosses are tuned for the high end of that range.
Since launch, Blizzard has given higher-level creatures more health to match the bigger damage increases for players. A group at the very bottom of the range will feel that.
Where is the Sunken Temple entrance?
The Temple of Atal'Hakkar is in the Swamp of Sorrows, in the Eastern Kingdoms. Horde have the closer base: Stonard is in the same zone, and Fel'zerul there gives their opening quest.
Alliance players get their opening quest from Brohann Caskbelly in Stormwind and then go to the swamp. Forever has no dungeon maps. Blizzard said they would probably stay out, so you find the way through the temple by playing it.
Is Sunken Temple loot worth it at level 60?
The boss loot mostly suits players in their low 50s. Required levels run from 46 to 51, so at level 60 you are mainly there for quest completions and appearances.
The Horns of Eranikus and the Rod of Corrosion are the pieces players keep longest. Unique dungeon boss items in Forever are now Rare quality, and Blizzard reworked every dungeon's drops, so pieces that were weak in Classic are worth checking again.
Does Sunken Temple count toward Legacy points?
Blizzard's Legacy System overview gives one Legacy point for defeating the final boss of every level 46-60 dungeon. At 50-60 the Sunken Temple is in that band, so its final boss is part of that sweep.
That point needs all the high-level dungeons, not just this one. Blackrock Depths, Maraudon, Zul'Farrak and the new 40-60 dungeons all come with it.
If you would rather not organize a high-level group yourself, PewPewShop can put a vetted human player in your Forever dungeon group. Runs for any dungeon start at from 23 EUR.
