World of Warcraft provides a helpful map showing where fans can find various rare spawns on Siren Island in The War Within Patch 11.0.7.

What are major excavation events?

There are three major excavation events on Siren Isle: each led by one of the expedition leaders: Dawn, Elaena Lancekat and Skaggit. To search for active excavations, players can either open their map or visit the Siren Isle Command map table at Flotsam Shoal (69/43), where the three leaders are stationed.


By interacting with the command card, players can view the status of the three major excavations: Shuddering Hollow, The Drain, and The Drowned Lair. To activate an excavation event, players must contribute Flame-Blessed Iron to the designated excavation. Each post requires 5 Flame Blessed Iron, with a total of 150 needed to fully activate a Large Excavation. These donations can be made by any player on Siren Isle and no individual contributions are required to participate in the events.

How to Conduct a Major Excavation

Once an event is activated, NPCs will be dispatched to the corresponding excavation site visible on the map to begin clearing a path into the cave. It takes 3 minutes for the NPCs to open the entrance, giving players enough time to arrive at the location. Once the entrances are open, players must go inside and defeat the rare elite boss inside to complete the event and claim the rewards.

Players must tag the boss to receive event credit and rewards.


In every major excavation there is a unique rare elite:

  • Shuddering cave: Stalagnarok
  • The drain: Grave mud
  • The sunken hideout: Nerathor

Defeating the rare Elite completes the event and rewards players with a Chest of Past Riches. This chest contains Flame-Blessed Iron and has a low chance of containing transmog items or Veteran Warbound gear that can be traded for Alts. Additionally, the rare elite soldiers themselves drop Flame-Blessed Iron, Bronze Celebration Tokens, and a chance at Veteran Warbound gear. Completing an event for the first time will also earn select gems for Cyrce's Circlet, A catch-up ring that can be upgraded to item level 658.

After completing a major excavation, there is a 5 minute cooldown before players can contribute Flame Blessed Iron again to reactivate that particular excavation. These events can be a great way to farm Flame-Blessed Iron to purchase various transmog items and Warbound gear from the NPCs on Flotsam Shoal.
