The Stockade: WoW: Forever Dungeon Guide

The Stockade is a five-player dungeon in Stormwind City. During a riot, the prisoners have seized the cells and corridors, and your group has to take down the ringleaders of the uprising. It's a short run that pairs well with Alliance quests.

The Stockade is located in Stormwind City, by the canal next to the Mage Quarter. Guards stand in front of the portal, along with Warden Thelwater.

Alliance Entrance

Head to the northeastern edge of the Mage Quarter, go down to the prison building by the canal, and enter the portal. You can pick up the quests at the entrance right before your run.

Horde Entrance

The portal is shared, but it sits inside an enemy capital. From Grom'gol Base Camp, follow the coast north, pass through Westfall into Elwynn Forest, and approach Stormwind City. The city guards will be hostile. All of the main Stockade quests are for the Alliance.

1. Before entering, collect quests in Stormwind City, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood, and the Wetlands.
2. Move through the corridors and clear the rooms one at a time. Crowd-control extra prisoners and don't start AoE damage before the tank.
3. Check the cells holding Targorr the Dread, Kam Deepfury, and Hamhock.
4. Fully clear the area around Dextren Ward before starting the fight with his fear.
5. Defeat Bazil Thredd, check your quest items, and look out for the rare spawn Bruegal Ironknuckle.

Most bosses in The Stockade don't have a dedicated table of valuable gear. The items listed below come from the rare spawn Bruegal Ironknuckle.

Fight Overview

The boss is surrounded by prisoners. Crowd-control one and quickly kill the other while the tank holds the main target. Don't hit the crowd-controlled enemy with AoE attacks.

Key Abilities

• Dual Wield - Wields a weapon in each hand and attacks frequently.
• Enrage - Increases physical attacks. Keep the tank's health up.
• Thrash - Grants extra attacks against the current target.

Fight Overview

Clear the neighboring cells and crowd-control one of the adds. First reduce the number of active enemies, then move on to the boss. The healer needs to watch the tank while the enemy's defensive effects are up.

Key Abilities

• Defensive Stance - Increases the boss's defenses.
• Improved Blocking - Lets him block attacks more often.
• Shield Slam - Slams the current target with his shield.

Fight Overview

Two prisoners join the fight along with the boss. Take one out with crowd control and kill the other. Spread out across the room: a tightly packed group takes more damage from the chain lightning.

Key Abilities

• Bloodlust - Empowers his attacks. Watch the pressure on the tank.
• Chain Lightning - Jumps between nearby targets. Keep your distance from each other.

Fight Overview

The final enemy deals significant physical damage. The healer should keep the tank at high health ahead of a possible stun, and hybrid classes should be ready to help with healing.

Key Abilities

• Battle Shout - Increases the power of physical attacks.
• Dual Wield - Uses two weapons.
• Smoke Bomb - Stuns nearby players. Defensive cooldowns and a health buffer will help you survive the break in healing.

Fight Overview

Before the pull, make sure to clear the neighboring cells and the corridor. Fear can send a player running into a fresh group of prisoners. If adds do join the fight, crowd-control them and focus on the boss.

Key Abilities

• Battle Stance - Enters Battle Stance.
• Intimidating Shout - Makes players flee in fear. A clear area around the group is critical.
• Strike - Deals a heavy blow to the target.

Fight Overview

This rare enemy may not spawn. Before the fight, kill the prisoners near him, then keep the boss in one spot. This encounter is what drops the dungeon's main valuable gear.

Key Abilities

• Dazed - Slows the target. Don't drag the fight into uncleared corridors.
