How the run goes

A small prison under Stormwind: one corridor, two cell blocks and a boss in each cell. Quest targets matter more than loot here, so collect the quests in Stormwind first.

Group: A tank, a healer and three damage dealers around level 25. Prisoners run when hurt, so slows and stuns help.

Route

The game has no interior map of The Stockade we can draw on, so the route is written out below.

  1. 1.The central corridor and east block

    Down the entrance hall to the central corridor. Targorr the Dread is in the first cell; then turn into the east block for Kam Deepfury, Hamhock and Bazil Thredd.

    • Enrage

    A Defias convict in the first cell who enrages when hurt.

    Tanks
    Clear the cell first, then hold him; save a cooldown for his enrage.
    Healers
    Damage on the tank jumps when he enrages at low health; heal ahead of it.
    Damage dealers
    He frenzies near the end, so save damage cooldowns for then and burn him down fast.

  • Check both wings for named quest targets before returning to the entrance.
  • No key or attunement.
