A simple run plan
- Get to level 58 or close to it.
- Pick up the quests before you zone in. The lowest-level ones here are Blood of the Black Dragon Champion (level 60, requires 55) and Drakefire Amulet (level 60, requires 50) (Classic Era baseline).
- Work through the bosses. The Classic Era database lists 5 of them, from Pyroguard Emberseer to General Drakkisath. That's the original listing order, which isn't always the order you'll kill them in.
- Group inside your ruleset. Blizzard says dungeon groups stay within one ruleset and faction. Use the group finder to fill spots.
- Check Forever loot changes after each boss. Boss uniques are now blue and some bosses drop Blueprints (Blizzard). See loot changes.
How this page is checked
Wing boss lists come from the Classic Era database's Blackrock Spire zone page. Drops come from each boss's Classic Era database page, filtered to rare or better with a 3%+ drop rate and only Classic Era items listed. Updated 3 Nov 2026. Quests are matched to a wing when their Classic Era objectives name one of its bosses or that boss's loot.
