Plan your route to the sewers, arrange a key holder and pick up your faction’s quests before travelling. The official recommended level band is 28–33.

Entering

Cross-ruleset grouping is not supported. Form the group on one faction and one launch ruleset — the servers page has that table. The recommended or chart band, Group Finder row and door check are separate figures. Unlisted means that source did not print a number.

Before you go

Preparation checked

Find the entrance

Alliance: approach from Hillsbrad and speak to Image of Archmage Modera for access to the sewers.

Horde: approach the sewer tunnel from Silverpine Forest. Arrange a Dalaran Sewer Key holder to open the gate; the published guide says one player can open it for the group.

Get your own sewer key

Start with Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill. Follow these Horde quest stages:

  1. Prison Break In + Key to the City
  2. Dalaran Patrols
  3. Blood in the Streets
  4. Heart of Disruption

Blood in the Streets sends you to Modera. Check your keyring when accepting Heart of Disruption; its Arcane Mote objective is inside the dungeon. You do not need to finish that objective before entering.
