Blackrock Spire in WoW Forever

Which Wing to Run

Start with Lower. It holds the three gemstones behind the Seal of Ascension, so someone in the group needs a completed lower run before the upper door is worth the trip. Group Finder lists the halves separately, though they share one instance.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Kami Labs: Blackrock Spire, summary; wowf.io: Lower Blackrock Spire guide, Before you go, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Finding the Portal

Both wings start inside Blackrock Mountain. wowf.io describes the lower entrance at the end of the path above the Blackrock Depths entrance, and the upper entrance as the large gate up and to the right from that same spire entrance. Kami Labs places the instance portal in the Burning Steppes at 33.2, 24.9.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Lower Blackrock Spire guide and Upper Blackrock Spire guide, Before you go; Kami Labs: Blackrock Spire, Instance portal, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Group Size and Entry Level

Sources split on both numbers. For group size, wowf.io calls Lower a five player dungeon and Upper a raid dungeon of up to 10, while Kami Labs lists 10 players for the whole instance. Warcraft Tavern agrees with five and ten on a page it labels as based on Classic.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Lower Blackrock Spire guide and Upper Blackrock Spire guide, Before you go; Kami Labs: Blackrock Spire, summary; Warcraft Tavern: Blackrock Spire, wings, checked Nov 8, 2026.

For entry, wowf.io says level 45 and Kami Labs says 48. Most groups plan around the boss levels anyway, which run 58 to 60 in Lower and 60 to 63 in Upper on wowf.io's guides.

Plan Both Wings Together

Treat the two wings as one project, because the Lower run feeds the Upper one. The seal and several quests cross the line between them.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Lower Blackrock Spire guide, Before you go; wowf.io: Upper Blackrock Spire guide, Before you go, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Where It Fits

Both wings count toward Master Spelunker, which is 1 Legacy Point. Blizzard's Legacy article lists "Defeat the final boss in all level 46 to 60 dungeons", and the client's criteria tree names Lower and Upper separately.Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Blizzard: Forever Legacy System, Dungeons; Wago Tools: CriteriaTree, rows 230787 and 230788, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Blackrock Depths sits in the same mountain, and the dungeon index lists the rest of the level 55 to 60 bracket. For the route to 60, see the RestedXP Forever guide.
