Location & Map

Both wings of Blackrock Spire are entered from the same dungeon portal on the east side of Blackrock Mountain. There are two ways to reach the portal from the main path through the mountain. One way is by entering the door that is next to the Blackrock Spire meeting stone and following the path upward. You’ll have to deal with some elite enemies via this route. The alternative is to climb the large chain and follow the wall toward the balcony where the gnome NPC Bodley is standing and jump onto it. This will put you directly in front of the dungeon portal without needing to deal with any mobs.

Blackrock Spire Wings

The two wings of the Blackrock Spire instance are treated as separate dungeons even though they are connected. The lower wing is designed for 5 players while the upper wing must be unlocked and is designed for 10 player groups.
