How to Use This Quest List
This page lists the quests. For boss routes, use the Dire Maul guide and the East, West and North wing pages. Quest counts differ because each tracker groups quests differently: Kami Labs counts 27, and ForeverChanges lists 24 for East, 21 for West and 22 for North, with overlaps.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Kami Labs: Dire Maul, The quests; ForeverChanges: Dire Maul East, West and North, Quests, checked Nov 8, 2026.
Quest level comes first and minimum level second, for example "60, from 54." Rows come from Second Hearth, ForeverChanges, WoW Handbook and Kami Labs. ForeverChanges marks rewards and XP as Classic's, so turn-ins are unverified in play.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Second Hearth: Dire Maul, Listed quests; ForeverChanges: Dire Maul East, Quests, checked Nov 8, 2026.
