Pickup Route by Faction
Alliance
Grab both Stormwind quests first, then head north.
- Take A Green Sample from Shylamiir in The Park.
- Take Power Overwhelming in the Wizard's Sanctum.
- Take An Alarming Request from Emissary Jacques, Southshore.
- Meet the Image of Archmage Modera by the city.
- Accept Starving Arcane and Heart of Disruption there.
Emissary Jacques stands at 48.3, 60.1 in Southshore. An Alarming Request is a separate attunement step, available from level 30. Finishing Heart of Disruption opens Friend of the Kirin Tor, which takes the mote to Archmage Celindra in the Violet Citadel.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: City of Dalaran quests, Heart of Disruption chain; ForeverChanges: City of Dalaran, Getting in, checked Nov 8, 2026.
Horde
Start in Tarren Mill and set your hearthstone there.
- Take The Grave Knight from Melisara.
- Finish Magus Wordeen Voidglare's internment camp quests.
- Complete Dalaran Patrols, then Blood in the Streets.
- Stop in Undercity for Source of Power.
- Accept Heart of Disruption from the Image of Archmage Modera.
- Accept Opportunistic Education from Rexxie Copperclutch.
Magus Wordeen Voidglare stands at 61.5, 20.7 in Tarren Mill. Blood in the Streets opens from level 30, after all of his other quests are done. Accepting Heart of Disruption is what hands you the Dalaran Sewer Key, and one key holder is enough for the whole group to enter. Keeper Bel'varil's Stone Tokens are optional.

Kirin Tor Reputation
The dungeon's kills feed Kirin Tor reputation: 5 for most enemies, 12 to 13 for the sewer elites, 15 for Atrexis and 25 for Lyn the Ignored and the Shade of the Archmage. At Friendly, Archmage Alvareaux in the city sells eight recipes. Since October 15 the Horde no longer earns this reputation, so the recipes and tabard are for the Alliance.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: ForeverChanges: City of Dalaran, Reputation, checked Nov 8, 2026.
Routing the Alterac leg by hand is slow. The RestedXP Forever guide and Zygor both cover leveling routes, and the comparison helps you pick one.
City of Dalaran Quests FAQ
Do I need the attunement quests to run the dungeon?
One group member with the Dalaran Sewer Key is enough. You still need the attunement chain if you want the Heart of Disruption quest yourself.
Can I do Starving Arcane on Horde?
The sources we checked on November 8 list it for the Alliance.
Which quest is hardest to finish?
Source of Power, because the cores are not shared and a single run rarely covers a full group.
