Excavation Site Dungeon Guide - WoW Forever

“Excavation Site” is the working name for a new level 24-29 dungeon in the Wetlands, above Whelgar’s Excavation near Thelgen Rock. Blizzard has not confirmed the final name.

Four encounters are listed in the available data. Boss names, mechanics and loot are not yet confirmed.

What is still unconfirmed

The encounter count does not tell us which enemies you will face or how their fights work. Boss strategies still need confirmation from playable runs.

No loot table has surfaced either. Quality, set pieces and Blueprint drops remain open questions.

Why the level range matters

The current Blizzard bracket is 24-29. Use that range when planning a group, but check the in-game entrance and group requirements once the dungeon is available because beta data can move.

Where It Fits

The mid-20s already include Shadowfang Keep and Blackfathom Deeps. Excavation Site could make this stretch less repetitive, but the best choice will depend on its quests, travel time and loot. The leveling guides cover the wider route.

For the other upcoming dungeon in this bracket, see City of Dalaran.

Excavation Site beta availability

Excavation Site entered the beta data in build 1.60.1.70124 on October 1, 2026. Maps exist, but a full run report and official name are still missing from the current snapshot.
