About The Stockade
The Stockade is Stormwind's prison, where the inmates have taken over the cells during a riot. It is short and compact, built around quests to recover heads and evidence from the riot's leaders. Few of its bosses drop loot, so groups usually come for the quest rewards and a quick experience boost.
On Keldurn, The Stockade follows the rules of patch 1.12 with x1 rates, so the run still rewards a balanced group, crowd control and a careful pull.

The Stockade has 6 encounters. Rare bosses do not appear on every run.
- Targorr the Dread

How to reach The Stockade
The entrance is in Stormwind City, along the canals. Horde players have to cross the Alliance capital, so the Stockade is effectively an Alliance dungeon.
Tips for a first run
Bring a tank, a healer and three damage dealers, and agree on loot rules before the first pull.
- Most packs are humanoids that run at low health; slow or stun them before they bring friends.
- Pick up every Stormwind quest for the Stockade first; they provide most of the reward.
- The corridors are tight, so area damage hits a lot of prisoners at once.
