Blackmaw Hold — announced levels 55–60.[1] Blizzard describes corruption beneath Blackmaw Hold.[2]
Availability
No opening of this later-level dungeon was established by the written sources reviewed on 9 October 2026. See Beta guide for the documented test scope. The announced level band is not a confirmed minimum entry requirement.
Setting and access
Wowhead describes a furbolg settlement behind the gates in northern Azshara.[3] The area-table entry 1216 belongs to Azshara (16), but an outdoor area label is not a verified dungeon entrance.[4]
Beta client evidence
The reviewed Map export has no instance row named Blackmaw Hold.[5] This does not identify the cause of missing data or establish a final boss, route, or connection to another instance.
Legacy connection
The client places this dungeon under Master Spelunker in the Legacy completion criteria (row 230796).[6] Completion rewards and availability should be checked in the active build.
Preparation and open questions
Use Dungeon checklists for a preview research list. Before planning a run, confirm current beta access in Beta guide and look for a dated entrance report. The announced level range is not a verified entry restriction.
Quest preparation: no dungeon quest pickup, required unlock chain or reward sequence has been verified here. Do not substitute a quest route from another WoW edition.
Boss checklist: a named, source-backed encounter roster is not established here. Keep boss identity, mechanics and mandatory completion separate when submitting evidence.
Rewards: add item IDs and a specific quest, boss or vendor observation before describing acquisition. An empty reward query below records a documentation gap.
Rewards
No item sources have been documented for this dungeon yet. This is a gap in the wiki, not a claim that the dungeon has no loot.
See Dungeon loot for the evidence needed to connect an item to its source; compare level bands in Dungeons.
Client check: 9 October 2026
A fresh name check of the archived 1.60.1.70245 Map export still did not identify a named instance row for this dungeon.[7] Absence from that named-row search is a limited data result, not a release-date or availability claim.
Help document this dungeon
Evidence still needed
Gate and entrance access; Instance layout; Party capacity; Encounters and mechanics; Dungeon quests and rewards
Record the Forever build, observation date, and a source or screenshot. Update the article and remove only the tasks your evidence resolves.
Sources and scope
The level band comes from Blizzard’s announcement. Client records are from the Forever beta build stated above; a record’s presence does not demonstrate live availability. No entrance, strategy, drop rate or quest chain is inferred from another WoW edition.
