World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Forbidden Reach guide - Rare spawns, activities, rewards, and more

Patch 10.7 of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight brought players to the Forbidden Reach, the home of the Dracthyr. Although Dracthyr Evokers start here, they leave relatively quickly and cannot return during normal play. However, upon reaching the level cap in WoW’s latest update, every player can explore this location with a brand new storyline, new rewards, and so much more. It will also be the home of patch 10.1’s Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible raid.

While traveling across the Forbidden Reach in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, players can unlock catch-up gear, unlock mounts, and of course, battle powerful foes. While the story for this area isn’t extensive, there’s still quite a bit to do for the brave and the bold. Here’s what you can experience while going through the latest patch of Blizzard’s MMO.

Forbidden Reach guide for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight 10.0.7 update

The defeat of Raszageth in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight means that the Forbidden Reach has opened up, allowing players to travel there. There’s a flight path available as well or you can just hop onto your dragon, take off, and fly there yourself.

The island itself is not a very massive place, so it will be easy to travel across with just your dragon as you work to deal with the continuing evil plans of the Primalists. We also learn that Scalecommander Sarkareth has broken off from the rest of the Dracthyr. All of this builds up to patch 10.1, when Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible raid is set to take place.

As you play through this World of Warcraft: Dragonflight area, you can just fly wherever you want most of the time, but occasionally, you’ll have to do some cave spelunking. Nevertheless, most of the time, your dragon will take you exactly where you want to go.

Although the story in this area isn’t incredibly extensive, there’s so much to see and do in the Forbidden Reach, so you probably won’t even mind. For players who prefer to grind and grow in power, there’s so much on offer in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.

Activities on the island

• World Quests (Daily/Bi-Weekly resets)
• Dragon Glyphs to unlock
• Rare Spawns
• Forbidden Hoard (Spawns every 30 minutes)
• Evolved Storms (Spawns every two hours)
• Renown Envoys (Daily activity)
• Zskera Vaults (Weekly reset)

Many of these can simply be seen on the map. If you look at the image above, you’ll see icons that feature Silver Dragons (Rare Spawns) and an icon with a lock (Forbidden Hoard).

Rare Spawns are self-explanatory in nature. These are challenging rare spawns that boast fantastic rewards. Some of them require crafting-based items to spawn them, such as the Crystal Tuning Fork. Given below is a list of all known Rare Spawns, where to find them in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and any pertinent information.

Forbidden Hoards are treasure chests that spawn around the map and tend to complete relatively fast. When you arrive, defeat the enemies quickly and the treasure chest unlocks. You can obtain Zskera Keys, Untapped Forbidden Knowledge, and more.

Zskera Vault runs will require Zskera Keys, which are gained by defeating rare spawns and any other enemies throughout the Forbidden Reach. World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has given players a random dungeon here, where you can unlock some pretty great rewards.

Furthermore, you can find Primordial Stones to upgrade and slot into your Onyx Annulet ring. It’s easily one of the most powerful items that drops in this entire update. You will likely also farm a great deal of the Elemental Overflow currency while you're on the island.

While taking part in these activities, players will likely accrue some Primalist Gear Tokens as well. This can be used to create level 385 gear for a select group of classes. These are bind-on-account and can be upgraded, and we recently covered more on these here.

Players can use the Faction Envoy system in Morqut Village to focus their reputation grind on one of the four base factions in this latest WoW expansion. You’ll receive several rewards, one of which is Elemental Overflow.

When you select a faction to represent, it gives you 10% higher reputation gained with them as well as another daily quest to do. Patch 10.0.7 only added one reputation per faction - Obsidian Warders (Alliance) and Dark Talons (Horde).

You can use this to buy several interesting items from the vendors on the island. Given below is a list of the objects you can buy, what category they’re in, and their costs.

Morqut Village rewards and costs

• Dragonscale Surplus Cache (Dragonscale Expedition): Loot Chest (Draconic Artifact x1)
• Sack of Oddities (Dragonscale Expedition): Loot Chest (Elemental Overflow x2000)
• Reliquary Scroll of Perception (Dragonscale Expedition): Buff (Elemental Overflow x2000)

This concludes with all the basic activities that you can do in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s latest update, 10.0.7. It builds players up to get them ready for 10.1, and the next challenging raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. There’s plenty to do each day, and it assists players in gearing up faster if they explore frequently enough.
