City of Dalaran — announced levels 28–33.[1] The announced adventure concerns magical disturbances in Dalaran.[2]

Availability

No opening of this later-level dungeon was verified in the written sources reviewed on 27 September 2026. See Beta guide for the documented test scope. The announced level band is not a confirmed minimum entry requirement.

Setting and access

Wowhead’s written preview says the city’s barrier has fallen and the Kirin Tor need help restoring control.[3] Its older 20–35 prose conflicts with Blizzard’s corrected 28–33 level table; this page follows Blizzard.[1]

Beta client evidence

The dungeon is map 2959, with a five-player difficulty record (5923). A separate map named Dalaran City (2980) must not be treated as this instance.[4][5] The instance’s area records include Fel Grove (16559).[6] These records do not locate the entrance or prove that the dungeon is open on a beta realm.

Datamined encounters

The client associates these names with map 2959.[7] They are research leads, not a tested route or a statement that every encounter is mandatory. Mechanics, optional-event conditions and drops need separate evidence.

Client encounter name Record ID
Arcane Anomaly 3298
Fel Ancient 3299
Mana Devourer 3300
Mana Elemental 3301
Unstable Sentinel 3302
Shade of the Archmage 3303
Lyn the Ignored 3310
Atrexis the Grave Knight 3311
Mana Wraith 3312

Legacy connection

The client places this dungeon under Experienced Spelunker in the Legacy completion criteria (row 230769).[8] Completion rewards and availability should be checked in the active build.
