Plan your Blackfathom Deeps quest run (Classic Era baseline)

1. Before you queue, check the minimum level (in brackets) in the table. The giver won't offer the quest below it.
2. Collect quests from the givers in the zones listed. Most are offered outside the dungeon.
3. Use the "Bring back" column to see which items or kills you have to collect inside.
4. Check the "Ends (turn in)" column, so you know where to go after the run.
5. Expect rewards to differ from Classic: Blizzard has changed some Forever quest rewards (see below).

Where you hand in most often (Classic Era baseline)

What may change in Forever

Blizzard has re-examined dungeon rewards for Forever, but hasn't published a Blackfathom Deeps quest list. Blizzard's beta notes lowered various dungeon quest rewards from Rare to Uncommon and cut dungeon-quest bonus XP by 50%. Treat quest rewards, givers and level requirements as [Unconfirmed] for Forever until Blizzard lists them.

How this page is checked

Quest names, levels, factions, givers, turn-ins and objectives come from our original Classic Era quest guide and are marked [Unconfirmed] until Blizzard confirms them for WoW Forever. Blizzard's Game Data API doesn't return Classic quest or NPC records (checked 9 Nov 2026), so these pages carry no Blizzard IDs yet. Forever reward and XP changes are from Blizzard's beta development notes. Checked 10 Nov 2026 (AEDT). The dungeon's level range is on the main guide.
