Quick answer: Scholomance occupies an island in a lake in the southeastern part of Western Plaguelands, east of Chillwind Camp. The recommended level is 57 or higher.


Where is Scholomance?

In World of Warcraft: Forever, Scholomance is on the central island of a lake near the southeastern edge of Western Plaguelands. On the zone map, head to the lower-right corner to locate the lake. The entrance is on its central island, east of Chillwind Camp.

These are the nearest flight paths by straight-line distance. They don’t describe a walking route, so plan your path on the ground from wherever you land.

  • Chillwind Camp (Alliance), Western Plaguelands, is the closest flight path in the zone. The entrance lies east of it.
  • Crown Guard Tower (Alliance/Horde), Eastern Plaguelands, is the closest option for Horde players. The entrance lies southwest of it.
  • Aerie Peak (Alliance), The Hinterlands, is the closest Alliance flight path. The entrance lies northeast of it.

Scholomance level, group size and faction

WoW Forever recommends starting Scholomance at level 57 and up. It is built for a group of 5 players.

The dungeon is in contested territory, so neither faction holds the area. Both Alliance and Horde can run it. Dungeons that sit in the other faction’s territory mean a longer trip through hostile land, but that doesn’t apply here.

Legacy achievement

Clearing Scholomance counts toward Master Spelunker, whose in-game text reads “Complete the following dungeons.” The achievement rewards 1 Legacy Point, which you can put toward the best Legacy talents. Each dungeon on the list counts once you defeat its final boss, so Scholomance counts when Darkmaster Gandling goes down.
