Marau don

A huge cave of centaur spirits, kobolds and corrupted Earth, ending with Princess Theradras.

Eight bosses and a rare across the Purple and Orange wings and the Inner caves. Make the Scepter of Celebras and later runs get much shorter.

What's different in Forever

Same fights as Classic

In WoW Forever the bosses here keep their Classic levels and abilities. The loot has been reworked: many drops have new Forever stats, so read the tooltip.

Quest XP

Dungeon quests below level 40 pay extra XP in Forever (the 1 October build halved the bonus, but it's still there). From level 40 on, most pay their Classic XP.

Mob XP

Dungeon mobs give about a third of their Classic XP. If anyone in the group is far above the mobs' level, nobody gets XP for those kills.

Group Finder

It's a listing board, not a queue, and meeting stones don't summon. A Warlock and two others can cast Ritual of Summoning at the stone.

Tips and tricks

Run it better

Make the Scepter

With the Scepter of Celebras you can open the portal straight to the Inner caves.

Pick a wing

For quick loot, do Purple or Orange; for the Princess, go to Inner.

Buster's tip

Let Bonkr Compass+ call your buttons

Boss fights go smoother when you're not thinking about your rotation. Build one on the portal's Rotations page and Compass+ shows the next button to press, so you can watch the floor instead.

Loot lists come from WoW Forever's own game data, through the open-source WoW Forever simulator, and are checked for changes every week (last checked 2026-11-09). "New" and "Changed" tags show for 30 days. Hover an item for its WoW Forever stats; click it for Wowhead, which shows Classic's numbers.
