Trial: Lower Blackrock Spire reopens, from level 61
With the fallback path in dungeons and four levels of lead, level-61 groups finish Lower Blackrock Spire 2 times out of 2, with no wipe. It reopens to the trial's Dungeon Finder from level 61; Blood Furnace (2 runs finished out of 3) stays closed.

Overnight tests on the test server
- Lower Blackrock Spire, level-61 groups: 2 runs finished out of 2, in 75 and 82 minutes, with no wipe. The fallback path leads to Highlord Omokk.
- At levels 58 and 60 it was not finished: no path to Omokk before the new version, then groups too slow, with deaths.
- Blood Furnace: 2 runs finished out of 3 at levels 64 and 65, the other abandoned. Still too uneven.
The settings
- Lower Blackrock Spire reopens to the trial's Dungeon Finder, from level 61.
- Blood Furnace stays closed.
- The trial's ladder becomes: Blackrock Depths prison up to level 57, quests at levels 58 to 60, Lower Blackrock Spire from 61, Hellfire Ramparts from 63.
To follow
Groups led by a paladin tank die more often in these dungeons: this will be looked at when the trial's first characters get there; the most advanced are level 43 today.
