City of Dalaran is one of the nine new dungeons in World of Warcraft: Forever, tuned for levels 20–35, and PewPewShop takes pre-orders for a City of Dalaran Dungeon Run from EUR 16 ahead of the November 4, 2026 launch. Bosses and loot are not yet published, so a run today is booked on level bracket, not on a specific drop.

How a City of Dalaran run works
- Pick the ruleset your character lives on. Forever has no realms. You choose Normal, PvP or Roleplaying (Hardcore arrives after launch), and the team meets you inside that ruleset and faction.
- Book the run. Until November 4 every Forever service is a pre-order. You get a slot in the queue; nothing happens until the game is live.
- Group up in-game. A Self-Play run means you play your own character and a vetted human group clears with you: tank, healer and damage as needed, threat and crowd control handled by people who have done the pull a few dozen times.
- Loot and appearances. In Forever, bind-on-pickup Uncommon and Rare dungeon drops give their appearance to every eligible looter the moment they drop, so a single run fills your transmog collection even when the item goes to someone else.
- Repeat if you want the level bracket cleared. A 20–35 bracket comfortably covers several runs; that is why there is also a cheaper any-dungeon option from EUR 12.
Is a City of Dalaran boost worth it at levels 20–35?
It is worth it if you want the dungeon done cleanly during the launch crush rather than spending an evening in the group finder. Forever has no level scaling, so a 20–35 instance is meaningful only for a short window per character; the run is cheap enough (from EUR 16) that most people book it for the time saved, not for any single item.
The honest trade-off: nobody outside Blizzard knows the boss list yet. If you are paying for one specific drop, wait for the loot tables. If you are paying for the clear, the level bracket, the appearance unlocks and a fast path to the Riverglades at 30+, the pre-order is already a sensible buy.
What does City of Dalaran drop?
Unknown. Blizzard has said that every dungeon drop in Forever was re-examined, that unique boss items are now Rare (blue) quality, and that hundreds of new items were added. Some Camping Blueprint recipes (advanced campfire objects like the Alchemy Lab and Tanning Rack) come from specific dungeon bosses, but which dungeons is not published. Treat any "City of Dalaran loot guide" you see before launch as guesswork.
Can I run City of Dalaran in the Forever beta?
Partly. The beta runs September 17 – October 21, 2026 and caps characters at level 30, which sits inside the 20–35 window, so the dungeon should be reachable on a beta character if Blizzard opens it. Beta access comes with the Skyborne Epic Pack or the Warcraft Forever Collection. Boosting services do not operate on beta; pre-orders are for the live game from November 4.
Which Forever dungeons come before and after Dalaran?
Below it sit Hall of Thanes (13–18, beneath Ironforge) and Ruins of Lordaeron (15–20), both from EUR 12 at PewPewShop, plus the Excavation Site in the Wetlands and the Drowned City off Stranglethorn, from EUR 16 each. After Dalaran the classic mid-level instances continue, then the 40–60 trio: Alcaz Prison, Shaper's Terrace and Krol'dok Stronghold, from EUR 22 each. Every original Classic dungeon returns too.
If you would rather have a vetted human group walk your character through City of Dalaran on launch week, PewPewShop's Forever pre-orders are open now: City of Dalaran Dungeon Run from EUR 16, or any Forever dungeon from EUR 12. Self-Play by default, real players only, no bots, and a long zero-ban record behind the team. Ask before you book if you want the run timed with the beta findings once loot tables are known.
