Here you can find quest information on dungeon quests and their prerequisites to help you prepare for Cobalt Company dungeon runs. Dungeons are listed roughly in order of level, separated into tabs according to expansion; note that the level ranges are merely to give a general idea of a dungeon's difficulty (at least according to Wowhead.com). These ranges are not any kind of limit on who may or may not enter a dungeon.
Each quest will also note the quest's individual level requirement. It can be terribly frustrating to chase down a quest halfway across Azeroth only to find that your character is too low level for it.
Note that all quests listed are those available to Alliance characters.
The information is in the process of being updated for Cataclysm.
An archive of the pre-Cataclysm dungeon quest guides for Classic dungeons can be found here.

The Deadmines (16-24)
Location: Westfall. Go to the town of Moonbrook. Enter the southeasternmost building. This leads to the secrets mines. They're a bit of a maze, but will lead you to the instance portal.
- Collecting Memories (14): Pick up from Wilder Thistlenettle in the Dwarven District, Stormwind. Takes place outside the instance. There will likely not be enough Miners' Union Cards dropped to supply a whole party. The undead respawn doesn't take too long after you've clear the area, though. You'll do this at the same time as…
- Oh Brother... (15): Pick up from Wilder. Foreman Thistlenettle is in the same area of the Deadmines as the undead in the quest above.
- Underground Assault (15): Pick up from Shoni the Shilent in the Dwarven District, Stormwind. OPTIONAL: First take Speak with Shoni (15) from Gnoarn in Tinker Town, Ironforge.
Quest Chain: The Defias Brotherhood
- The Defias Brotherhood, Part 1 (14): Pick up from Gryan Stoutmantle at Sentinel Hill, Westfall. This starts a series of quests (all named The Defias Brotherhoood) that takes you from Westfall to Lakeshire to Stormwind and back again. After you track down the Defias Messenger and bring his Mysterious Message back to Stoutmantle, you'll move on to…
- The Defias Brotherhood, Part 6 (14): This one stands out, as you are asked to escort the Defias Traitor to the secret hideout of the Defias Brotherhood. It is strongly recommended you get help for this, as you must take the Traitor through Moonbrook, where you can easily be overwhelmed by the Defias there trying to kill him (and you). If no Cobaltians are around, there are often people questing in Westfall willing to lend a hand.
- The Defias Brotherhood, Part 7 (14): Pick up from Gryan. Enter the Deadmines and kill Edwin VanCleef.
After escorting the Defias Traitor, the following quest also unlocks:
- Red Silk Bandanas (14): Pick up from Scout Riell at Sentinel Hill, Westfall. She's at the top of the tower.
This quest is picked up in the dungeon:
- An Unsent Letter (16): Loot An Unsent Letter from Edwin VanCleef. Use the item to start the quest. This begins a chain that leads to the Stockade and beyond.
Wailing Caverns (16-24)
Location: The Barrens. Southwest of Crossroads. Due west from Ratchet. There is a whole oasis around a skull-shaped cave (marked Wailing Caverns on the map). The instance portal is inside the cave.
- Trouble at the Docks (18): Pick up from Crane Operator Bigglefuzz in Ratchet. Not technically a dungeon quest, as Mad Magglish spawns outside the instance (but in the same cave).
These quests are found just outside the dungeon, but the quest-givers (Nalpak and Ebru) can be tricky to find. The cave that leads to the dungeon entrance looks like a skull. The NPCs are in a small cave in the skull's right (westernmost) eye.
- Deviate Hides (13): Pick up from Nalpak.
- Deviate Eradication (15): Pick up from Ebru.
Quest Chain: Smart Drinks
- Raptor Horns (13): Pick up from Mebok Mizzyrix in Ratchet.
- Smart Drinks (13): Pick up from Mebok. This is the dungeon quest.
This quest starts in the dungeon, following a series of events:
- Kill all four Fanglords.
- Go back to the start of Wailing Caverns and speak to Disciple of Naralex to trigger escort.
- Escort Disciple of Naralex to a chamber where he starts a ritual.
- Protect him from waves of mobs attacking during ritual. Be sure to replenish health/mana between waves.
- Mutanus the Devourer spawns after waves. Defeat him and loot Glowing Shard.
- The Glowing Shard (15): Started by Glowing Shard.
- Leave dungeon and speak to Sputtervalve (by flight master) in Ratchet.
- Return to Wailing Caverns area (do not enter), climb atop the mountain to speak to the Falla Sagewind.
- In Nightmares (10): Pick up from Falla.
- Go to Darnassus and turn quest in to Mathrengyl Bearwalker.
Shadowfang Keep (17-25)
Shadowfang Keep has no Alliance quests (but is still very fun and offers plenty of great loot!). Paladins and warlocks do have some class quests that will require them to go to Shadowfang Keep.
Blackfathom Deeps (20-28)

This quest starts in the dungeon:
- Blackfathom Villainy (18): Pick up from Argent Guard Thaelrid in Blackfathom Deeps.
The Stockade (21-29)
A few quests take some legwork to collect:
- What Comes Around... (22): Pick up from Guard Berton in Lakeshire.
- Crime and Punishment (22): Pick up in Darkshire from Councilman Millstipe.
- The Fury Runs Deep (25; NOT SHAREABLE): Technically, the quest is level 22, but it is unlocked by The Dark Iron War, which is level 25. After unlocking, pick up from Motley Garmason in Dun Modr, the Wetlands (the same NPC that gives you The Dark Iron War).
These quests are found in Stormwind City; one is part of a chain:
- The Color of Blood (22): Pick up in Old Town Stormwind from Nikova Raskol.
- Quell the Uprising (22): Pick up from Warden Thelwater at the dungeon entrance.
Quest Chain: The Stockade Riots
- The Unsent Letter (16): This quest is picked up from an item that drops from Edwin VanCleef, the final boss of the Deadmines. So if you haven't done that dungeon yet, you won't be able to do this chain. If you have, take the letter to Baros Alexston in City Hall of Stormwind. He will give you…
- Bazil Thredd (16): Baros sends you to speak with Warden Thelwater, who then gives you…
- The Stockade Riots (16): This is the dungeon quest for the Stockade. When you complete it, turn in it to Warden Thelwater. The quest chain continues after this, but no longer involves the Stockade.
Razorfen Kraul (23-31)
There are two quests that require a bit of legwork to get.
- Blueleaf Tubers (20; NOT SHAREABLE): Pick up from Mebok Mizzyrix in Ratchet and make sure to collect the three pieces of associated equipment next to the quest giver. This should be accessible to all of us. Note: When you turn it in, if you happen to be missing any of the equipment, you can pick it up from the supplies next to Mebok again.
Quest Chain: The Crone of the Kraul
- Lonebrow's Journal (23; NOT SHAREABLE): A book on a corpse at the bottom of the Great Lift, just a bit to the west as you come down. Read the journal. You will want to follow the road west through Thousand Needles to the border of Feralas, and deliver the journal to a guy by the flight point. This will then give you…
- The Crone of the Kraul (23) This is the dungeon quest to kill one of the bosses in RFK.
There are two quests we can pick up in the dungeon itself. Both of these are found in the same location, but from different quest givers.
- Mortality Wanes (25): Pick up from Heralath Fallowbrook, the dying night elf. IMPORTANT! Take this quest before the following quest from the goblin.
- Willix the Importer (22): Pick up from Willix the Importer. IMPORTANT! Make sure everyone is ready to accept before accepting this quest, as it is an escort quest.
Gnomeregan (24-32)
- OPTIONAL: Klockmort's Essentials (24): Pick up from Mathiel in Warrior's Terrace in Darnassus. This is just a bread crumb that leads to Essential Artificials below, and is not actually necessary.

- Save Techbot's Brain! (20): Pick up from Tinkmaster Overspark in Tinker Town, Ironforge.

These quests start in the dungeon:
- A Fine Mess (20): This is an escort quest. Find Kernobee in the Dormitory, near the first Data Rescue terminal inside the instance.

Pre-Instance Preparation
When collecting quests, go into Gnomeregan and complete Gnogaine, Save Techbot's Brain!, and start Data Rescue. Hand in Gnogaine and get The Only Cure Is More Green Glow before entering the instance.
Inside the Instance: First Steps
Once inside the instance, complete the Grubbis event with Blastmaster Emi Shortfuse, head to the Dormitory to input your white punchcard, and escort Kernobee to the exit.
Data Rescue
The white card drops from the elite mobs outside the instance close to Techbot, and the first card reader is on the platform near Techbot. When you put the card in that reader, you will get a yellow one.
Take the yellow punch card to the Dormitory, near Kernobee to receive a blue.
Take the blue punch card to the top of the Launch Bay on the platform, near the Electrocutioner. You'll get a red card.
Take the red punch card to the bottom of the platform in the Engineering Labs. You will get a Prismatic card, and complete the quest.

- Down the Scarlet Path, Part 2 (34): Take a letter from Brother Anton to Raleigh the Devout in Southshore. Technically the next step isn't part of the actual chain, so there isn't a quest leading directly to it, but you are given an item and instructions leading to…
- In the Name of the Light (34): Pick up from Raleigh the Devout in Southshore. The quest requires killing the bosses in Scarlet Monastery: Library, Armory, and Cathedral, so it will take a few dungeon runs to get.
Razorfen Downs (33-41)
The lowest level parts of Razorfen Downs can be done as early as level 28, but it is recommended you wait until at least level 32 or higher. The final boss is a level 37 baddie, and the quest to take him on requires 32.
Start in Stormwind, where you'll get your first quest.
- Bring the Light (32): Pick up from Archbishop Benedictus in the Cathedral in Stormwind City.
Go to the southern Barrens. Razorfen Downs is location just east of Razorfen Kraul. There is an outer area full of quilboar. In there you will find a night elf named Myriam Moonsinger. The following quest is not required for Razorfen Downs, but it's convenient to do since you're right there and killing quilboar anyhow.
- A Host of Evil (28): Pick up from Myriam Moonsinger. All of the quilboar to kill for this quest are located outside the instance, so it is recommended you finish this quest before entering. The instance entrance inside a cave very close to Myriam.

Quest Chain: Extinguishing the Idol
- Scourge of the Downs (32): When you reach the Murder Pens, open Belnistrasz's cell (by clicking on the wooden cage) and take this quest from him. He will give you [Belnistrasz's Oathstone]. Speak with him again to return the oathstone and complete the quest.

After he finishes, turn in the quest at the brazier he leaves behind.

- Nekrum's Medallion (40): Pick up from Thadium Grimshade in Nethergarde Keep, Blasted Lands.

Quest Chain: Into the Temple of Atal'Hakkar

- In Search of the Temple (38): Picked up from Brohann Caskbelly in the Dwarven District tavern in Stormwind City. This will take you on a series of quests that eventually leads to…
- Into the Temple of Atal'Hakkar (38): The dungeon quest, which is simply gathering 10 tablets scattered all over the temple (both in and out of the instance).
One quest is found inside in the dungeon, which leads to its own chain:
Quest Chain: The Essence of Eranikus
- The Essence of Eranikus, Part 1 (48):After defeating Eranikus, loot the Essence of Eranikus and use it to start the quest. Completing this will give you the Chained Essence of Eranikus. You can stop there if you like, but this unlocks the following quest.
- The Essence of Eranikus, Part 2 (48): Speak to Itharius in the cave in southwest of Swamp of Sorrows. IMPORTANT! If you accept his request for help, you will lose your trinket and there is no better reward because the chain is incomplete. If you choose to continue, Itharius will give you…
- In Eranikus' Own Words (48): Off to Winterspring to speak with Umbranse the Spiritspeaker. And that's all folks.
Blackrock Depths (48-60)
Blackrock Depths is essentially in two parts: Detention Block and Upper City. Note that there is a class quest for each class, which can be simply picked up from your trainer in Stormwind City. For brevity, we will not list these quests.
Detention Block
- The Heart of the Mountain (51): Pick up from Maxwort Uberglint at the beginning of the dungeon. This one does require you to get all the keys to open the vault in one run. They seem to despawn in your inventory when you logout. Thus, this one may be too troublesome to do.
- The Sealed Gate (47): Pick up from Tinkee Steamboil at the beginning of the dungeon.
- Into the Prison (47): Pick up from Jalinda Sprig at the beginning of the dungeon. Then turn into Kevin Dawson to pick up Twilight?! No!(47).

Blackrock Spire (53-61)
[FORTHCOMING: SEEKING VOLUNTEERS]
Dire Maul (54-61)
Dire Maul is split into different wings, each a complete dungeon on its own.
East Wing
- Lethtendris's Web (54): Pick up from Latronicus Moonspear in Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas. OPTIONAL: First pick up the breadcrumb quest, Feathermoon Stronghold (54). This can be picked up from Crier Goodman (Stormwind), Courier Hammerfall (Ironforge), or Herald Moonstalker (Darnassus).
- Pusillin and the Elder Azj'Tordin (54): Pick up from Azj'Tordin in Feralas. He is at the Lariss Pavilion (closer to Thalanaar than Feathermoon), north of Camp Mojache.
Quest Chain: Shards of the Felvine
This chain is odd, because it doesn't become available until after you have entered Dire Maul. The good news is that apparently you can loot the Felvine Shard even if you don't have the quest.
- A Reliquary of Purity (56): Pick up from Rabine Saturna in Nighthaven, Moonglade.
- Shards of the Felvine (56): Defeat Alzzin the Wildshaper in Dire Maul East. A object will spawn after Alzzin's defeat that you must loot to acquire the Felvine Shard.
West Wing
All of these quests are picked up in the dungeon:
Quest Chain: The Treasure of the Shen'dralar
- The Madness Within (56): Pick up from Shen'dralar Ancient. The 5 Pylons are the objects surrounded by the Arcane elemental-looking mobs. Mages beware, they are immune to arcane. Kill all of these mobs and you will hear a loud crack; that is the pylon powering down. When all five are down, the shield surrounding Immol'thar will drop.
- After you have slain Immol'thar and Prince Tortheldrin, you must go back to the courtyard to speak to the Shen'dralar Ancient again to turn in the quest and get the follow-up.
- The Treasure of the Shen'dralar (56): Pick up from Shen'dralar Ancient. Go back to the library and loot the chest under the stairs.
This mage quest is still in the game, but the reward is obsolete, as it is now learned from mage trainers. It is still worth XP and Shen'dralar reputation, though.
- Arcane Refreshment (60): Pick up from Lorekeep Lydros in the library of Dire Maul. The quest itself takes you to Dire Maul North.
Scholomance (56-61)
How to Acquire the Scholomance Key
For this chain, you will need:
- 15 gold
- [Thorium Bar] x 2
Note that while the first two quests only require level 50, the later ones require at least level 55.
- Clear the Way (50): Pick up from Commander Ashlam Valorfist at Chillwind Camp in Western Plaguelands. When finished, turn in to Valorfist.
- All Along the Watchtowers (50): Pick up from Ashlam Valorfist. The [Beacon Torch] needs to be used within a few meters of the front door of each tower. See the image to the right for the approximate locations of the towers. Turn in to Valorfist.
- Scholomance (55): Pick up from Commander Ashlam Valorfist and turn in to Alchemist Arbington at Chillwind Camp.
- Skeletal Fragments (55): Pick up from Alchemist Arbington. The Skeletal Acolytes and Skeletal Executioners in and around the Ruins of Andorhal seem to have a 100% drop rate (farming the graveyard south of Andorhal is quickest and easiest). Turn in to Arbington.
- Mold Rhymes With... (55): Pick up from Alchemist Arbington. Travel to Gadgetzan in Tanaris and turn in to Krinkle Goodsteel. Before you leave Gadgetzan, make sure you have your two (2) Thorium Bars in your inventory.
- Fire Plume Forged (55): Fly to Un'goro Crater. Climb the volcano roughly in the middle of the crater. At the top is a small "lake" of lava. Stand on the northern shore, in a lower part of the land where you can get right next to the lava. Use the [Skeleton Key Mold] at that spot. There will be some violet tremors, but it's nothing to worry about. Return to the Western Plaguelands and turn in to Alchemist Arbington at Chillwind Camp.
- Araj's Scarab (55): Pick up from Alchemist Arbington. Also pick up Alas, Andorhal (50) from Commander Ashlam Valorfist, as both quests require you to kill Araj the Summoner. Araj is a tough fight, and he has plenty of help, so you should get some too. Araj can be a bit easier to fight if you've done Chromie's quest, Counting Out Time (53) to acquire an [Attuned Dampener], but it isn't strictly necessary. When Araj is dead, loot both his body and the phylactery that drops. Return to Chillwand Camp and turn in your quests to Valorfist and Alchemist Arbington. Congratulations, you have your Scholomance key!
- Barov Family Fortune (52): Pick up from Weldon Barov at Chillwind Camp, Western Plaguelands.
Quest Chain: Ras Frostwhisper

(This one is a little odd, as you don't actually acquire the quest from Aurius, but you can only turn it in to him after you've picked up the quest item.)

Tirion will then give you a series of quests leading to the Stratholme quest:
