Blackrock Spire » Zones » WoW Armory Light

Blackrock Spire, aka Black Rock Spire, Black Rock, or Castle of Blackhand, is a dungeon at the upper part of Blackrock Mountain, inhabited by members of the Dark Horde - orcs, forest trolls, and ogres, as well as their new allies, the Black Dragonflight, led by the son of Deathwing - Nefarian.

It consists of two parts:

• Lower Blackrock Spire - a 5 man dungeon
• Upper Blackrock Spire - requires 10 party members.

The entrance is located by following the broad circular road up and around to the northeast corner of the large central chamber The Molten Span. Enter the ruined buildings there and proceed upwards until you find a narrow doorway.

Blackrock Spire has two sections. The first is referred to as "lower spire", or LBRS, and is the main chunk of the instance, intended for a single group of players.

The second is "upper spire", or UBRS, which is a much smaller area, but intended for 10 players setup in a raid group. The player cap was 15 prior to patch 1.10, when it was lowered to 10. The Seal of Ascension is required as a key to the upper area.
