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.
