Stockade bosses and loot in Forever

Each Stockade boss has its own small loot table, and almost every item on it is new in Forever. Item requirements climb from level 21 at Targorr to level 26 at Bazil Thredd. The table below lists only items that drop from that one boss, per Wowhead.

Every boss in order of level, with the items that drop only from that boss. Pick a boss below to see its full loot table; hover any item for the Wowhead tooltip.

In Forever, unique dungeon boss items are Rare (blue) quality. A Bind on Pickup Uncommon or Rare dungeon drop also gives its appearance to every eligible looter in the group, so you still collect the look when someone else wins the item.

Stockade quests and where to get them

The Stockade has six Alliance quests, and four of them begin outside Stormwind. Pick them up while you level through those zones, then do them all in one clear. The list comes from Questie's quest database.

What level should you run the Stockade?

The best window for the Stockade is the mid-20s. Five of the six quests open at 22, but Bazil Thredd's drops need level 26 and Hamhock's need 25. Most groups get the most out of it around 24-26, when the quests are still worth full experience and the loot is close to wearable.

What is the best loot in the Stockade?

The standout weapon is Boneslicer from Dextren Ward, a level 23 polearm at 22.75 DPS per Wowhead, one of the strongest polearms you can get in the 21-30 range. Bruegal Ironknuckle's Iron Knuckles (17.65 DPS fist weapon) is a strong pick for fist users when the rare spawn is up. Hunters should watch for Bazil Thredd's Concealed Hand Crossbow at 15.25 DPS.

Casters have fewer picks. Kam's Walking Stick and the Bridgebreaker Bindings are the main cloth and staff options. Leather wearers get the most choice, with pieces from Targorr, Kam Deepfury and Bazil Thredd.

Can Horde players do the Stockade?

The Stockade is an Alliance dungeon in practice. It sits inside Stormwind City, Wowhead lists it as Alliance territory, and all six of its quests are Alliance-only. Horde players in the same level range get more out of Shadowfang Keep, Blackfathom Deeps or Razorfen Kraul, which come with their own Horde quest chains.

Is the Stockade worth running more than once?

Yes. On November 8 Blizzard hotfixed dungeon kill experience up by 50%, which makes repeat runs worth more than they were at launch. Quests still give most of a dungeon's experience in Forever, so the first clear with all six quests is the big one. Later runs are mainly for a specific drop, such as Boneslicer or Bruegal's fist weapon.

If you would rather not spend an evening putting a group together, PewPewShop runs Forever dungeons with vetted human players, starting at from 23 EUR. It's an option for when your time matters more than the group-finder hunt.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Stockade in WoW: Forever?

The Stockade is inside Stormwind City, the Alliance capital in the Eastern Kingdoms. Wowhead's Forever zone page lists it as Alliance territory with a level range of 22 to 32. Warden Thelwater, who gives two of its quests, waits at the prison itself, so Alliance players can pick up those quests and go straight in.

How many bosses are in the Stockade in Forever?

The Stockade has six bosses per Wowhead: Targorr the Dread, Dextren Ward, Kam Deepfury, Hamhock and Bazil Thredd, plus the rare spawn Bruegal Ironknuckle. Because Bruegal is a rare spawn, he does not appear on every run. Each boss has its own small loot table, and most of those items are new in Forever.

What quests start the Stockade in WoW: Forever?

Six Alliance quests are tied to the Stockade: The Stockade Riots and Quell The Uprising from Warden Thelwater, The Color of Blood from Nikova Raskol in Stormwind, What Comes Around... from Guard Berton in Lakeshire, Crime and Punishment from Councilman Millstipe in Darkshire, and The Fury Runs Deep from Motley Garmason at Dun Modr in the Wetlands.

What level should I be for the Stockade in Forever?

Aim for around level 24 to 26. Five of the six quests open at level 22, but the best drops from Hamhock and Bazil Thredd require levels 25 and 26. At 24 to 26 the quests still give full experience, most of the loot is close to wearable, and the group can clear it without too much trouble.

Does the Stockade drop good weapons in Forever?

Yes. Dextren Ward drops Boneslicer, a level 23 polearm that Wowhead lists among the strongest polearms for levels 21 to 30. The rare Bruegal Ironknuckle can drop Iron Knuckles, a strong fist weapon, and Bazil Thredd drops the Concealed Hand Crossbow for Hunters and the Debt Collector sword.
