Sunken Temple quests

Every quest the Classic Era database files under Sunken Temple, from the Classic Era database. Each row links to its Classic Era quest page, with the quest giver and the zone they stand in. Back to the Sunken Temple dungeon guide.

Plan your Sunken Temple quest run (Classic Era baseline)

1. Before you queue, check the "Req." level 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 "Needs" column to see which items or kills you have to collect inside.
4. Check the "Hand in to" 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 Sunken Temple 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.

Quest run at a glance (Classic Era baseline)

The quest table lists 9 quests between levels 50 and 60, with the lowest pick-up requirement at level 38. By faction that splits into 6 for both factions, 1 Alliance and 2 Horde.

One of them has no quest giver and starts from an item instead, so loot everything that drops a book, note or token:

• The Essence of Eranikus: starts from Essence of Eranikus, which drops in Sunken Temple.

How this page is checked

Every quest, level, faction and giver comes from its own Classic Era database page (listed under sources). Giver zones come from the NPC's Classic Era database page. "Hand in to" and "Needs" come from the quest's Classic Era objective. A giver or zone the Classic Era data doesn't show is marked [Unconfirmed]. Checked 2 Nov 2026 (AEDT). The dungeon's Forever level range (50–60) is on the main guide. Where a quest has no Start NPC on the Classic Era database, the giver cell names the quest-starting item from the Classic Era database's item page and the zone is where that item drops.
