Dungeon - Warlords of Draenor
Bloodmaul Slag Mines
4 encounters, 29 boss abilities and 192 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
On the northern outskirts of Frostfire Ridge, the Bloodmaul ogres run a brutal mining operation amidst the sweltering heat of active volcanic caverns. Slaves from across Draenor are transported to the mines, never to leave alive. The Slag Mines produce abundant yields of gemstones and ore, but it is rumored that the true purpose of these mines is to dig for an ancient relic of immense power.

Born in the capital of Highmaul, Gug'rokk was at first disdainful of his assignment as the governor of the Bloodmaul mines deep within Frostfire. Over time, however, he has come to appreciate the merits of operating on the outskirts of the Gorian Empire, with absolute control and minimal oversight.

The ogre geomancers of Frostfire pride themselves on harnessing the elements, but sometimes they overreach. Gog'duh has stoked the flames of his forge to new heights, driving Magmolatus into such a fury that it requires Gog'duh's full concentration to keep the raging slag elemental under control.
