The Riverglades zone guide for WoW Forever
The Riverglades is a new zone in WoW Forever, on the east coast of the Eastern Kingdoms. Rivers, grasslands and ruined keeps lie between Redridge Mountains, the Burning Steppes and the Badlands. Many players call it the best leveling zone of Forever. This guide covers how to get there, the towns, the quests, the 
Bloodmaster’s Ring and the dungeon.
| Levels | About 36 to 44, best from 40 |
| Borders | Redridge Mountains, Burning Steppes, Badlands |
| Alliance | Farholde Keep, Brotherhood of the Horse |
| Horde | Rog’mar, Bolder’ok Clan |
| Neutral | Powderfuse Port, a goblin town |
| Dungeon | Krol’dok Stronghold, level 40 to 45 |
Getting there
There are three ways in:
- From Redridge Mountains, over the road in the north of the zone. A fork that was a dead end in Classic now leads to the Riverglades. Players find the start of the path east of the cave north of the Tower of Ilgalar, around /way 76.0 35.5: climb the slope to a small walkway below the road and follow it to the northeast.
- From the Badlands, over the road in the south of the zone. For the Horde that is the easiest way in without the flight point.
- By boat from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris, east of Gadgetzan (/way 68.6 23.0). The boat docks at Powderfuse Port (/way 80.6 54.6). Back to Kalimdor works the same way.
Towns and flight paths
- Farholde Keep, in the south, is the town of the Alliance and home of the Brotherhood of the Horse, the cavalry that left Stormwind. Flight master Gretchen Mayberry stands at /way 60.6 81.4.
- Rog’mar, in the center of the zone, is the Horde camp. Flight master Grakna stands at /way 59.6 45.2.
- Powderfuse Port, on the east coast, is a neutral goblin town with the boat to Tanaris and the Black Market Auction House. It has no flight master.
Where each flight point flies to is in the flight paths guide.
Quests
The quests in the Riverglades are more linear than in most Classic zones. When you finish a round, the next set of quests usually appears in the same town. Players also notice little competition for monsters. All quests in the zone together are worth about 4 to 5 levels.
The Alliance works for the Brotherhood of the Horse, the Horde for the Bolder’ok Clan. Both fight each other and the Twilight’s Hammer. The story behind Farholde Keep is in the short story Cost of Honor.
A hidden quest for the Horde. Cavalry Scout Alturin rides on the main road out of Farholde Keep. Kill him and he drops Farholde Scouting Report, a quest without a breadcrumb that you hand in at Rog’mar for 4,850 experience. Attacking him flags you for PvP.
Bring these items. A few quests ask for items you can buy or craft at home. You save a trip if you bring them:
| Item | Quest | Faction |
|---|---|---|
10  Chunk of Boar Meat |
Paletusk Harvesting | Horde |
10  Heavy Weightstone |
Step Two: More Rock | Horde |
12  Iron Bar and 4  Thick Leather |
Key Ingredients | Horde |
| 12 Iron Bar and 4 Thick Leather |
Key Ingredients | Alliance |
Key Ingredients is part of the chain for the key of Krol’dok Stronghold, see below.
Recent fixes. The hotfixes of 13 November fixed three things here: Jezap Jinglesprocket, host of the Bloodmaster’s Ring, offers his quests again, Gaseous Gold shows the right amount, and woodpiles can only be looted while you are on their quest. Three enemies hit softer since 11 November.
The Bloodmaster’s Ring
The Bloodmaster’s Ring is a fighting pit in the style of the Ring of Blood, at /way 65.6 21.4 in ogre territory. You fight ever stronger brawlers of the Bolder’ok, one at a time. Each fight gives about as much experience as a dungeon quest. On a PvP realm the pit can be busy with the other faction.
- Bloodmaster’s Ring: report to Jezap at the ring.
- Pay to Play: pay the deposit of 1 gold to enter.
- Fights: Bloodmaster’s Ring, Bloodmaster’s Ring, Bloodmaster’s Ring and Bloodmaster’s Ring, against Mog’thar at level 43.
- Detour, not yet confirmed: Our Ogre Friend, A Boar’s Delight and A Treat for a Friend.
- Final fights: Bloodmaster’s Ring and Bloodmaster’s Ring.
After Snufflesnout you choose 3 
Superior Healing Potion or 2 
Superior Mana Potion. The whole chain ends with a choice of three rings for level 45:
| Ring | Stats |
|---|---|
| Bloodmaster’s Ring |
7 Stamina, 6 Intellect, up to 9 spell damage and healing |
 Bloodsport Band |
6 Stamina, 5 health per 5 seconds, 22 attack power |
 Ogre Horn Ring |
4 Strength, 3 Agility, 10 Stamina, 3 Defense |
More about the pit is in the post about the ring.
Krol’dok Stronghold
The dungeon of the zone is an ogre fortress for levels 40 to 45, with six bosses. The entrance is on the hills north of Sunnyglade, northeast of Twilight’s Shroud, at /way 37.5 37.5. The spirit healer stands right outside.
Most dungeon quests open only after the story of the zone. On the Alliance side that is a chain of about ten quests at Farholde Keep. The exception drops inside: Tunk drops the 
Krol’dok Moulding, which starts the chain for a key to a shortcut in the dungeon. Bosses, quests and loot are in the Krol’dok Stronghold guide.
