About Lower Blackrock Spire
Lower Blackrock Spire is the barracks of the Dark Horde in the upper half of Blackrock Mountain, full of orcs, ogres and trolls. It is also where players start the quest for the Seal of Ascension, the key that opens the upper spire, and many level 60 characters return for its loot and quests.
On Keldurn, Lower Blackrock Spire follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so the run still rewards a balanced group, crowd control and a careful pull.
