Ruins of Lordaeron

What's going on here

The Forsaken are retaking the ruins of Lordaeron above their capital. Scourge remain in the corners and a necromancer has set up shop. Horde players fight alongside the Forsaken. Alliance players enter uninvited and should expect a long walk through Tirisfal.

Getting there

The ruined city above the Undercity in Tirisfal Glades. Horde players step out of the Undercity elevator and they are there; Alliance players travel north from Silverpine Forest.

Recommended group

One tank, one healer, three damage dealers. Bring at least one interrupt and one crowd-control option.

Bosses

• Witherfang — Spider boss. Drops Witherbite Bracers and Segmented Spider Leg.
• The Abandoned — Drops Scepter of the Abandoned.
• Viktor the Vile — Drops Vileblood Scimitar.
• Rath'mael — The necromancer. Drops Mirror of Rath'mael, Rotmender's Treads and Coldspire Staff.

Loot worth chasing

• Rotmender's Raiment cloth set: Rotmender's Treads from Rath'mael, with the other pieces also dropping in the dungeon. Casters, run it until it is complete.
• Coldspire Staff and Scepter of the Abandoned for casters; Vileblood Scimitar for melee.
• Seven encounters in the launch build: three more bosses beyond the four named above.

Outfit tips

• Bring poison and disease cleansing: Priests, Paladins and Shamans with cleansing totems make this dungeon easy.
• Fear Ward is baseline for Priests now; use it on the tank for the undead casters.
• Undead Priests: Dark Sacrifice between pulls keeps your mana up for the long clear.
• Pair this with Hall of Thanes on alternating nights; both are level 15 to 20 content.
