Blackwing Lair

  • Raid
  • 40 players
  • 8 bosses

Map

Laid out from the game's own minimap tiles, room by room. 8 of 8 bosses are pinned — 7 where they stand in Classic; 1 from Blizzard's dungeon journal.

The client has no map position for its entrance, so the Atlas does not pin it.

    We have not sat idly by for a millennium, <name>.

    We have watched these beasts feast on their own when they have exhausted their utility. We have listened as they have plotted and schemed to destroy our world. And we have learned of their own internal treachery.

    Find and bring me their ceremonial armaments: Combined with the element created from the volatility of their own God, they will become a force of reckoning.

    Well that took a little longer than expected. Now let me see what this ledger says.

    <Narain silently reads the ledger, periodically mumbling under his breath.>

    The good news is that I am 99% certain that I am capable of creating an arcanite buoy that will function to your specifications. This is, of course, wholly dependant on the bad news.

    The bad news is that I'm going to need a lot of arcanite, elementium ore, and rare gemstones.

    Bring me what I need and I will craft the buoy.

    Counted as this dungeon's: an item found only inside.

Quests are the server's, so these are Classic's, from the cmangos Classic database, not yet confirmed in Forever. A quest is counted as this dungeon's when its own zone says so, when it is given or handed in inside, when something it asks for is here, or when an item it wants is found nowhere else. A line is read back along what must be done first and forward along what the same giver hands you next.

Where this comes from

Map: the game's own minimap tiles laid flat — Classic never had dungeon maps. In 3D: the rooms themselves, read from the client's own building files, lit by the light the game bakes into them. Boss pins: where each boss stands in Classic, from the cmangos Classic database; Blizzard's dungeon journal for the few it cannot place. Forever's own bosses have rough positions until they are confirmed in the beta, and are marked that way. Portraits: the dungeon journal's own boss portraits, which ship in the Forever client.

Loot: AtlasLootClassic (GPL-2.0), a community addon's record of Classic Era, because the Forever client does not say which boss drops what. That is Classic Era data, not yet confirmed in Forever. Models: which one a boss wears is not in the client either, so it is AtlasLootClassic's, or the cmangos Classic database's for the few bosses it has none for, not yet confirmed in Forever. The models themselves are the client's own, and a humanoid boss is dressed the way the client dresses a character — race, skin, hair and gear — though without the weapons the server hands out.

Abilities, dialogue and stats: what a boss casts and when, what it says, and its health, armor, damage and the rest are the server's, so these are Classic 1.12's, from the cmangos Classic database, not yet confirmed in Forever. The animation, effects and sound of a cast, and the voice of a line, are the client's own. Quests: Classic 1.12's too, from the same database, not yet confirmed in Forever.

From the Forever beta: boss by boss, what the opt-in collector addon records replaces the Classic data — loot, model, abilities and dialogue, each on its own — and the note under each says which you are looking at. A quest it saw taken or handed in here counts as this dungeon's, whatever the Classic database says, and is marked as seen in Forever. Stats stay Classic's: the collector does not record them.
