Plan your run
Planning range: 20–30 / Five players / Silverpine Forest. Researched 31 October 2026; beta details may change. Playfulls lists dungeon level 18+; that is a data label, not a verified portal-entry requirement. Current dungeon data.
Take the road uphill to the keep in southern Silverpine. Prepare interrupts, curse removal and control for tightly packed rooms.
Work from the prison through the courtyard, dining rooms and upper towers. Clear patrols before bosses; check the corridor after Odo for Deathsworn Captain. Entrance and route reference.

Bosses and tactics
The following tactics are summarized from the Forever guide.
- Rethilgore: Interrupt Soul Drain; clear enemies on nearby elevations.
- Fel Steed / Shadow Charger (optional): Attacking one pulls the stable group; control spare horses.
- Razorclaw the Butcher: Isolate patrols and heal the tank through Butcher Drain.
- Baron Silverlaine: Remove Veil of Shadow promptly; it suppresses healing.
- Commander Springvale: Kill the silencing Guardsman first; interrupt Holy Light.
- Odo the Blindwatcher: Control bats and face their cleave away.
- Deathsworn Captain (rare): Secure his companions and kill adds first.
- Fenrus the Devourer: Prepare to collect Voidwalkers; they persist beyond the wolf.
- Wolf Master Nandos: Clear room worgs beforehand; kill summoned worgs.
- Archmage Arugal: Use corners against Void Bolt; manage threat after teleports.
Boss loot and item links
Named equipment, boss-specific recipes, pets, bags and quest starters currently listed by the sources appear below. Drop percentages are omitted: the sites mix expectations, legacy values and beta observations. Boss associations are community reports; client item existence alone does not prove a live drop.

| Razorclaw the Butcher | Bloody Apron; Butcher's Cleaver; Butcher's Slicer; Blueprint: Tanning Rack |

Evidence and remaining gaps
Eerie Stable Lantern has conflicting attribution: Playfulls places it under Springvale; Icy Veins lists the stable horses. Rift Bracers are associated with Arugal's Voidwalkers, not a guaranteed Fenrus drop. Sever is also listed by WoW Source, but its event availability in Forever is unverified. Compare the Forever guide with the community loot list.
Unverified event encounter: Sever. Historical rewards are The Axe of Severing and Abomination Skin Leggings, both Classic references. GearInsight flags the axe as absent from the beta and the leggings as Classic values. Do not treat either as a confirmed Forever farm.

Loot source: Playfulls. Supplemental rare, event or missing entries use Icy Veins and WoW Source, with individual ForeverDB item records. Shared recipe pools and generic trash/world drops remain in the complete source table; they are excluded from this boss table. See Playfulls methodology for its client-versus-community distinction.
