BMAH: the Black Market Auction House in WoW Forever

Updated 27 September 2026

The Black Market Auction House, BMAH for short, sells rare items for a lot of gold. It first appeared in Mists of Pandaria, in patch 5.0.4. WoW Forever brings it to the old world, in the new zone The Riverglades, and Wowhead found it on the beta.

Where to find the BMAH

	Where
Zone	The Riverglades, levels 30 to 45
Place	Powderfuse Port, a small goblin outpost on the river
Coordinates	/way 78.1 51.9
Not at	Farholde Keep, the new stronghold of the zone

The Riverglades lie north of Redridge Mountains. A fork in Redridge that used to be a dead end now leads there, and a boat links the zone to Steamwheedle Port. The zone is described on the Forever page.

The two agents

Madam Swyndle	The Black Market itself: gear, pets and collectibles
Mister Graphed	Crafting reagents and other goods

Both are level 60 goblins with the title Agent of the Black Market. Wowhead writes that Forever has “even more agents” of the Black Market, but not where the others stand.

Gear: Dungeon Set 1

Most of what Madam Swyndle offers is gear from Dungeon Set 1, the blue sets from the dungeons of original Classic. Each piece costs 100 gold or more and binds when picked up. These four pieces were found on the beta.

How the sets differ from Classic

The set names stayed, the bonuses changed. This comes from the tooltips of Wowhead for Forever and for Classic Era.

Pieces	Classic Era	WoW Forever
each piece	no spell power of its own	10 to 14 spell power
2	+200 Armor	+8 All Resistances
3	nothing	up to 18 spell power
4	up to 23 spell power	an effect when struck, 2% or 5% chance, 1 min cooldown
5	nothing	an effect on spellcast
6	an effect of the set	8 mana per 5 sec
8	+8 All Resistances	no longer a bonus

The effects per set in Forever:

Set	4 pieces	5 pieces
Magister’s Regalia	2% chance to freeze the attacker for 3 sec	5% chance on spellcast to restore 200 mana
Dreadmist Raiment	2% chance to make the attacker flee for 2 sec	5% chance on spellcast to heal for 270 to 330
The Elements	5% chance to disarm a melee attacker for 4 sec	a chance to gain up to 65 spell power for 10 sec

Some stats went down to pay for this. Magister’s Robes have 28 Intellect instead of 31. Dreadmist Mantle lost its 9 Spirit, and Magister’s Crown lost 5 Spirit and 1 Stamina. Boots of Elements kept their stats.

Pets

The Hippogryph Hatchling came from a loot card of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game in the original game. The Flowery Lashling Bud and the Wilted Lashling Bud are new items that summon a lashling.

Tabard and toy
