Iron Docks
4 encounters, 30 boss abilities and 195 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 coast of Gorgrond, the Iron Docks represent the heart of the Iron Horde's naval might. Huge warships and artillery, forged and assembled within the Blackrock Foundry, are readied for war within this massive port. The greatest beasts of Draenor are broken and trained alongside elite infantry units, comprising the ground troops that will surge ashore to break the will of any who would dare oppose the Iron Horde.

Loot Table Value
Every one of Iron Docks’s 195 drops is Bind on Pickup, so none of this loot can ever reach the Auction House. The table below the bosses is the complete reward list; its value is item level, not gold.
