Wailing Caverns

From the BlizzCon preview build

The Classic dungeon in the Barrens, and the one with the biggest find of the beta: the re-itemized Fang set turns a druid's Cat Form into a serpent. Its upper bosses sat above the beta level cap.

Level 17-24 · not official Open since launch

Where this comes from

This dungeon was open in the beta, and it has been open in the live game since November 4. What follows comes from the beta client and from reports by those who were inside - not from a Blizzard announcement, and not yet checked against the live servers. Anything several sources report the same way independently is in; where they disagree, the disagreement sits under the open questions. A hotfix can change any of it.

Druid of the Fang

Drops the gloves - a trash mob, not a boss

Reported, not confirmed

  • The gloves come off trash

    Druids of the Fang are ordinary enemies in the instance, not an encounter. That makes the gloves the piece that decides how long the set takes.

    Source: Beta client and beta reports, build 1.60.1.69913 - reported the same way by several sources

Open questions

  • Drop rate off trash in Forever

Loot

  • Gloves of the Fang Hands, leather Reported the same way repeatedly One of the five pieces of Embrace of the Viper. The set is re-itemized in Forever; the old Classic bonuses are gone.

Where this comes from matters: which boss drops what is not in the client. The table for it (CollectableSourceEncounter) is empty and loot is handed out server-side. The assignment below therefore comes from players who ran the dungeon and reported what dropped - several sites carry the same figures, which argues against coincidence but does not prove they are independent of each other. The item itself is read from the client. Where it says the values differ, sources give different figures; take the name, not the number.
