The Stockade Dungeon Guide

The entrance to The Stockade is located in Stormwind City, at the northern corner of the Mage District.

Just as with the Deadmines, there is no reason for Horde players to complete this dungeon while leveling. It is too difficult to get to Stormwind as a Horde player and the time taken to do this would be better used leveling elsewhere.

Before setting foot in the Stockade, we strongly advise you to get all the dungeon quests related to it. To make this process easier, we have written a separate guide.

The Stockade is an extremely easy instance to navigate, simply being made up of long, straight corridors, with jail cells on each side.

It is worth noting that there are always 2 chests in the dungeon and they can spawn in any of cell rooms. They can spawn unlocked or locked, in which case you will need a Rogue to open it.

The only thing to keep in mind for the trash in The Stockade is that nearly every single mob will run away at low HP to look for help. You will need to slow, snare or stun the mobs to make sure that they do not pull further.

When pulling trash in this instance, make sure to pull the mobs to you and away from other packs, rather than moving your group towards the mobs. This will decrease the likelihood of the mobs pulling another pack when they run away before you can stop them.

Trash in this instance will respawn, so be prepared to clear the same packs multiple times when moving back through the instance.

Bruegal Ironknuckle is the only rare spawn of the dungeon and can be found in one of the cells in the dungeon. Make sure to check every room for him. He is also the only "boss" that drops loot in this dungeon.

You can clear this dungeon with nearly any class setup, but it is advised to bring at least 1 class that has a snare or slowing effect. This is due to the huge number of mobs that will run away at low HP; slowing or snaring them will prevent them from pulling more mobs.

For this role, you can bring a Hunter, for Wing Clip, a Rogue, for Crippling Poison, or a Warrior, for Hamstring.

Rogues are also useful for opening chests throughout the dungeon.
