Quick answer: Stratholme is at the far north of Eastern Plaguelands, northeast of the Plaguewood Tower flight path. The game recommends level 55 and up.
Where is Stratholme?
In World of Warcraft: Forever, Stratholme sits at the far northern edge of Eastern Plaguelands. On the zone map, the entrance appears at the top, a little left of centre, and northeast of Plaguewood Tower.
The closest flight path inside the zone is Plaguewood Tower, and both Alliance and Horde can use it. Fly there, then head northeast to reach the entrance. That direction is a straight-line bearing on the map, not a marked walking route.
Stratholme level, group size and faction
The game recommends starting Stratholme at level 55 and up. It is a 5-player dungeon, so bring a full party.
The area is contested, meaning neither faction holds it. Dungeons in WoW Forever are open to both factions, and because Stratholme is in contested ground, neither side has to cross the other’s home territory to get there.
