WoW Forever Gnomeregan: Level 29-38 Dungeon in Dun Morogh
Gnomeregan is the level 29 to 38 dungeon in northwest Dun Morogh in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever), the irradiated former gnome capital, with six bosses and 13 quests for both factions. Warcraft Tavern's Forever guide says it has not changed much from Classic apart from a few updates to loot and rewards.
Quick answer: The entrance is in the northwest of Dun Morogh, at about 24, 40 on Warcraft Tavern's map. The Alliance reach it from Ironforge through Dun Morogh, and the Horde get a quest chain for a Goblin Transponder from Booty Bay. The final boss is Mekgineer Thermaplugg.
The gnomes' former capital is now overrun by mutant troggs. The sources name the traitorous Mekgineer Thermaplugg as the final boss.

Where is the Gnomeregan entrance in WoW Forever?
Warcraft Tavern places it in northwest Dun Morogh at about 24, 40, and Warcraft Wiki's instance page gives the same position. Alliance players travel from Ironforge through Dun Morogh, take an elevator down to the exterior tunnels and use the portal. Horde players start with the Chief Engineer Scooty quest, then use a Booty Bay Goblin Transponder, which Warcraft Tavern calls a huge time saver. A back door opens with the Workshop Key, looted from the Electrocutioner 6000. Kami Labs gives the portal as 17.5, 39.1, which differs from Warcraft Tavern's coordinates. See the Dun Morogh guide and Ironforge explained.
What level is Gnomeregan in WoW Forever?
Warcraft Tavern lists levels 29 to 38, and Warcraft Wiki's instance page lists 10 to 30 with a Classic range of 29 to 38. Warcraft Tavern's Classic guide lists a minimum of 19 and a recommended 25 to 35. Kami Labs shows a single "Level 25" with an entry level of 19. These are not the same kind of figure, so treat the dungeon as a late-twenties to thirties run. The leveling 10 to 30 guide and dungeons overview show where it sits.
Who are the Gnomeregan bosses?
Warcraft Tavern lists six: Grubbis, Viscous Fallout, Electrocutioner 6000, Crowd Pummeler 9-60, the rare Dark Iron Ambassador and Mekgineer Thermaplugg, the last. Warcraft Wiki's instance page lists the same six, with Grubbis shown alongside Chomper, and adds Endgineer Omegaplugg as a max-level boss. Kami Labs lists five bosses for five players and six for ten players, the sixth being Mechanical Menagerie, and does not list the Dark Iron Ambassador, which the other two sources name.
Which quests belong to Gnomeregan?
Warcraft Tavern lists 13. Neutral: A Fine Mess from Kernobee, Grime-Encrusted Ring and The Sparklematic 5200!. Horde: Rig Wars from Nogg in Orgrimmar, Chief Engineer Scooty from Sovik in Orgrimmar and Gnomer-gooooone! from Scooty. Alliance: Save Techbot's Brain! from Tinkmaster Overspark, Gnogaine and The Only Cure is More Green Glow from Ozzie Togglevolt in Kharanos, Data Rescue from Master Mechanic Castpipe, Essential Artificials from Klockmort Spannerspan, Gyrodrillmatic Excavationators from Shoni the Shilent in Stormwind, and The Grand Betrayal from High Tinker Mekkatorque in Ironforge. Warcraft Tavern's quest page says these are the same quests as Classic with only the rewards updated. For the quest chains in more detail, see the Gnomeregan quests and Data Hoarders guide.
What is the story of Gnomeregan?
Warcraft Wiki's instance page calls it the gnomes' former capital, which troggs invaded; the high tinker was betrayed by his advisor Sicco Thermaplugg, and the city was irradiated. Warcraft Tavern's Classic guide tells the same outline: mutant troggs, radiation, and a traitorous Thermaplugg. The full story is in Gelbin Mekkatorque and Gnomeregan explained. The free Lore Forever add-on shows quest background as you play; it is fan-made.
