Quest overview

Pick up before the run: quests and quest givers

Quests are grouped by where you complete the objective. Each entry tells you where to pick it up and which quests come first.

Before you enter

Inside the dungeon

The Unsent Letter

Loot VanCleef’s letter after the last fight and open it in your bags. Baros in Stormwind sets you on the trail to the Stockade.

Deliver the Letter to the City Architect to Baros Alexston in Stormwind.

Bags & food

Before the first pull

Level 14: detour for a bag?

If you keep leaving loot behind, start the sleeping bag chain at the charred remains in Westfall (Alliance) or the Barrens (Horde). You can pick up a 12-slot bag at the Stepping Stones stop in Stonetalon Mountains. The Cosy Sleeping Bag itself comes at the end. If your group is already at the portal, save the detour for later.

Food for the run

An Herb Baked Egg is enough for your first run. Sit and eat for at least ten seconds: Well Fed gives you 1 Stamina and 5% more experience from kills for 15 minutes. It won’t increase quest turn-in XP. Pack a spare egg in case the group wipes.
