Excavation Site: what we know

Near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz, in the Wetlands, a strange mist drifts down from the mountains above Whelgar’s Excavation. Beyond it waits a place that seems frozen in time, with errant titan constructs and dangerous wildlife. Source: Blizzard article, October 20, 2026.

Boss list and order from the game client. Loot from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB): Classic data, limited to items that exist in the client, which may change in Forever. Rare enemies and chests are named in English unless the client or the beta server's cache names them. Drop rates are the Classic 1.12 ones and may change in Forever. Items with at least a 1% chance are listed (epics at any chance); the dungeon's shared table drops from each enemy at a very low chance. Data from build 1.60.1.70862.
