Map, bosses and loot49 drops

The map shows where each boss stands. 42 of the 49 drops have been seen in the beta and show their Forever stats against Classic's. The others keep Classic's stats for now. Who drops what, and the chances, are Classic's. So are the boss levels and what each boss does in the fight.

Before you goLevel 17–26

Where The Deadmines is, the level it asks for and what its drops require.

Location	Westfall. See the entrance on the world map.
Level	17–26. Classic lets you in from level 10; Forever’s minimum is not confirmed yet. Its quests can be taken from level 9.
Experience	For the Alliance, its 6 quests give 19,125 XP, about 1 level at level 17. Quest by quest
Drops	49 drops, 42 seen in the beta. They require level 1 to 19 and are item level 16 to 25.
Bosses	Rhahk'Zor, Miner Johnson, Sneed, Sneed's Shredder, Gilnid, Mr. Smite, Captain Greenskin, Edwin VanCleef, Cookie.

Quests6 in Classic, all still in the Forever client

A quest's text, objectives and rewards are not in the beta client: these are Classic's, and the rewards may change. The dungeon quests guide says where to take each one before you go in.

Faction	Quests	Experience in the beta	In Classic	What it is worth
Alliance	6	19,125 XP	8,300 XP	about 1 level at level 17

These figures count the level 30 build of October 1, which halved what dungeon quests give beyond a normal quest. The beta pays these quests 1.9 times the experience Classic gave. Only the quests count here, not the kills, and a quest far below your level gives less.
