Meet before diving
The Drowned City is a WoW Forever dungeon for levels 35–40. The entrance is underwater off Stranglethorn Vale, west of Grom’gol. Agree on a coastal landmark before the party dives.
Before travelling
| Faction | Where to start | Quests |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance | Southshore, Loremaster Dibbs | Magics of the Drowned City and Take Two With Water. The preceding Stranglethorn quest chain starts at Rebel Camp. |
| Horde | Grom’gol, Kin’weelay and Aggro’gosh | The Drowned City and The Only Good Brinescale... follow The Vile Reef. |
| Both | Booty Bay, Krazek | Shady Saltseers and The Saltseer Captain. |
Each player compares these quest names with their own log before the trip, because the faction quests sit behind earlier steps.
Inside the dungeon
- Var’Taka: two of the enemies with the boss can heal. Assign an interrupt and a focus target before the pull.
- Respawns: non-boss enemies return two hours after they die. It was one hour before the November 13 hotfix.
- Quest drops: one pirate-drop objective can take two runs. Check every member’s objectives and loot before the group leaves.
For a map of the interior, see dungeon map addons.
