FOREVER / DUNGEON GUIDE

Gnomeregan

Gnomeregan is a multi-floor expedition through contaminated halls and machinery. A first run is valuable for data cards, collection quests and a controlled Thermaplugg finale as well as individual bosses.

01 / START

Before you leave

Alliance players combine Ironforge and Stormwind tasks; Horde teleport preparation begins with Nogg in Orgrimmar and Scooty in Booty Bay. Check required collection phials and white data cards. Reserve time for an escort and any return to skipped rooms.

The level range is guidance, not a verified entrance minimum. Routes and tactics are our planning advice; current server mechanics have not been confirmed by our own gameplay tests.

Mechanical Menagerie is an additional client entry without current Forever observations; it is not treated as mandatory.

Entrance coordinates are Map-table ghost-return references, not surveyed portals.

Boss numbers label list entries, not invented map positions. A minimap overview with overlapping rooms is not automatically a verified floor sequence.

03 / ROUTE

Plan your run

  1. Outer area: check Techbot and exterior objectives before entering. Do not sell or discard data cards prematurely.
  2. Upper halls: stay together through the Grubbis event. Continue toward Viscous Fallout and the lower connections together; avoid unverified jump shortcuts.
  3. Machine route: include Electrocutioner and Crowd Pummeler, process data cards at the appropriate terminals and check collection counts before descending.
  4. Thermaplugg: assign bomb and switch jobs before the finale. The familiar bomb/button routine is Classic reference; observe current Forever details in game. Afterwards check the safe, combination and quest log.
04 / BOSSESS

Encounters and your jobs

The list combines current client entries with the associations identified in each profile. Unclear variants are marked. Its order is not a surveyed walking route; check casts, immunities and triggers in game.

01
NPC 7361

Grubbis

Begin the reference Blastmaster event with the whole party. Gather follow-up enemies and keep the event NPC protected.

Tank
Stay with the party after each wave and remain ready for new enemies.
Healer
Manage mana across the whole event rather than treating the first phase as the end.
Damage
Start only on the party’s call and protect any event NPC from additional enemies.
02
NPC 7079

Viscous Fallout

Clear the fighting space and pick up newly active enemies off the healer. Safe movement matters more than an unverified jump skip.

Tank
Pick up adds early so they do not reach the healer.
Healer
Position so newly active enemies do not separate you from the tank.
Damage
Kill the marked target together and use area damage after threat is secure.
03
NPC 6235

Electrocutioner 6000

Choose positions that allow movement without falling. If chain or area spells appear, respond with space and healer line of sight.

Tank
Gather caster companions with the boss on cleared ground.
Healer
Watch controlled allies and removable debuffs while preserving a healing reserve.
Damage
Rotate interrupts where the spells actually being cast permit it.
04
NPC 6229

Crowd Pummeler 9-60

Choose a safe tank direction before pulling. A possible knockback must not send anyone onto uncleared levels.

Tank
Keep safe ground behind you and save a defensive for damage spikes.
Healer
Top up the tank before likely melee spikes and maintain line of sight through movement.
Damage
Wait for tank threat and avoid activating another pack while repositioning.
05
NPC 7800

Mekgineer Thermaplugg

For the reference bomb event, assign bombs, switches and boss damage clearly. Check the safe and combination after winning.

Tank
Stay with the party after each wave and remain ready for new enemies.
Healer
Manage mana across the whole event rather than treating the first phase as the end.
Damage
Start only on the party’s call and protect any event NPC from additional enemies.

06 / LOOT

Loot: distinguish stats from acquisition

These are selected items; quest rewards appear above. Observed drops and acquisition references are deliberately separated. Current stats do not turn an old acquisition reference into a confirmed Forever drop. No guaranteed rates or untested best-in-slot promises.

EVIDENCE

Evidence and unresolved details

Checked 7 November 2026. Current encounter and item data mainly use client 1.60.1.70862. Quests combine current client/player records with original Questie Forever reference data. Maps load directly here, with their origin and any floor-assignment limits identified beside each image.

Routes and role advice are our own planning recommendations. We have not independently tested server mechanics live. A client entry alone proves neither current encounter availability nor timing. Entries from other game variants and unrecorded NPC associations are identified in the relevant guide.

For loot, distinguish current stats from acquisition: “observed drop” is a recorded association, sometimes from beta and often a small sample. A “drop reference” is not current drop confirmation. Neither establishes a reliable drop rate. Some new German names are editorial translations; English names and identifiers retain exact identity.

Mechanical Menagerie is an additional client entry without current Forever observations; it is not treated as mandatory.

Entrance coordinates are Map-table ghost-return references, not surveyed portals.

Group Finder range and quest acceptance level are not verified hard entrance minimums.

Maps use Forever70790 artwork with floor assignment cross-referenced to Retail12.1.5.70783. No invented boss pins.
