Dungeon - The Burning Crusade
The Arcatraz
4 encounters and 60 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
The mighty Tempest Keep was created by the enigmatic naaru: sentient beings of pure energy and the sworn enemies of the Burning Legion. In addition to serving as a base of operations for the naaru, the structure itself possesses the technology to teleport through alternate dimensions, traveling from one location to another in the blink of an eye.

Loot Table Value
Every one of The Arcatraz’s 60 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.
