Stratholme: Main Gate Dungeon Guide

Stratholme: Main Gate in the WoW Forever beta

Forever vs Classic

What changed in Stratholme: Main Gate for WoW Forever

What is different from the Classic version you may know. Everything else works as it did in Classic.

• Classic coordinates are wrong hereBeta data

  Forever redrew the Eastern Plaguelands map. It covers about 23% more ground and sits in a different place, so every /way number from a Classic guide or addon points to the wrong spot. The Main Gate is at about 26.5, 10.4 and the Service Entrance at about 41.9, 15.8 on the Forever map.

• Dungeon Set 1 was reworkedBeta data

  The eight-piece Dungeon Set 1 now gives its bonuses at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 pieces instead of 2, 4, 6 and 8, and most pieces trade their Spirit for other stats. Six bosses of the Live side drop a set piece each, the loot table below shows which.

• 90 Classic boss items are missingBeta data

  Most boss blues of Stratholme that are not part of a set have no Forever entry yet, 90 items across both sides of the city. Postmaster Malown, Skul, Malor the Zealous and the Stratholme Courier show no boss loot in Forever at all for now. Whether these items come back or were cut is open, so the loot table only lists what Forever has.

• Changed quest rewardsBeta data

  The Active Agent, Aurius' Reckoning, The Restless Souls and Ramstein no longer offer their Classic items, and Dead Man's Plea lost its Argent Dawn reputation. What they give in Forever is unknown. The two rewards of Houses of the Holy got better, the Crown of the Penitent and the Band of the Penitent are rare now with more stats, and Smokey's Lighter from The Great Fras Siabi has a new effect.

• Fras Siabi is now Ezra GrimmBeta data

  The smoke shop owner you fight for The Great Fras Siabi is called Ezra Grimm in the Forever client, the name Blizzard has used since patch 9.1.0. The quest still carries the old name. It is the same fight for the same Premium Siabi Tobacco.

• New numbers on boss spellsBeta data

  Timmy the Cruel's Ravenous Claw and the Crimson Hammersmith's Bone Smelt show new numbers in their Forever tooltips, far above what a level 60 boss did in Classic. Plan with the Classic fights until a run shows how hard they really hit.

• Less bonus XP from dungeon questsConfirmed

  Since October 1 dungeon quests give only half of their bonus experience on top of a normal quest. The Stratholme quests still pay well for the time, but less than in Classic.

Location

Where is Stratholme: Main Gate? Entrance and how to get there

Stratholme is the walled city at the northern edge of the Eastern Plaguelands. Two gates lead into it: the Main Gate at about 26.5, 10.4 for the Live side and the Service Entrance at the Eastwall Gate at about 41.9, 15.8 for the Undead side. In Classic the Main Gate needs no key, but the Scarlet Bastion door inside does.
