The Stockade: Fast Dungeon Walkthrough
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruThe Stockade is a small, dense dungeon right inside the Alliance capital, seized by rioting Defias Brotherhood prisoners. It is one of the fastest dungeons in the game: a short circular route and high mob density make it ideal for XP farming at level 22–30.
Overview
| Location | Stormwind (Mage Quarter) |
| Level | 22–30 |
| Faction | Alliance |
| Players | 5 |
| Bosses | 6 |
| Run time | 20–35 min |
How to get there
The entrance is a barred gate in the canals of Stormwind's Mage Quarter. Alliance simply walk in from the city. Horde have almost no way in, so the Stockade is a pure Alliance run.
Key boss tactics
| Boss | Tip |
|---|---|
| Targorr the Dread | First boss, enrages at low HP — raise healing on the tank. |
| Kam Deepfury | A dwarf with an area cleave — turn him from the group. |
| Hamhock | An ogre overseer with strong physical damage on the tank. |
| Bazil Thredd | The riot leader, calls prisoner adds — control the pack, focus the boss. |
| Dextren Ward | A powerful melee that hits hard — keep shields and heals up. |
| Bruegal Ironknuckle | An optional rare boss that doesn't always spawn — extra loot. |
Useful quests
Key quests are 'The Stockade Riots', 'What Comes Around' and 'Quell the Uprising' for Bazil Thredd's head. All are picked up in Stormwind. Thanks to its short length and city location, the Stockade is perfect for clearing dungeon quests quickly between leveling sessions.
Valuable loot
Loot here is mostly green plus quest rewards. The Stockade's real value is not items but speed: dense packs give excellent XP per hour. Rogues and warriors love it as a fast XP source in the 20s.
Tips for the x5 server
The Stockade is the best 'pull-farm' dungeon: a warrior or mage gathers a pack of prisoners and the group AoEs it down. On x5 a run takes 20–25 minutes. Great for catching up a level before the next big dungeon or BRD.
