Overview
The Defias used this island prison to hold nobles for ransom. The naga have since taken it over, so you meet both inside. The bosses are Overseer Wrex, Tidemistress Ca'zass, Katerina the Cleaner, The Questioner and Blazeroar, an elite dragon that ends the run. Katerina drops the Sentimental Locket and The Questioner drops shoulders from the Defias Enforcer's Garb set.
Getting there
Alcaz Island sits off the northeast coast of Dustwallow Marsh. Alliance flies to Theramore and rides north, Horde flies to Brackenwall Village and rides east, and both swim to the wooden pier on the island's west shore. From the dock take the hill path to the left to the stone prison building at about 75.0, 14.7. The portal is in a stone arch at the bottom of the staircase inside, at about 75.5, 13.7.

Tips
- Both factions swim the last stretch from the mainland to the pier on the west shore of the island.
- Alliance players should take The Dragon's Journal along. Blazeroar drops the journal it asks for.
- Zarla Ober is not one of the five bosses, but since the 9 November hotfix she drops loot.
- Blazeroar counts toward Master Spelunker, together with the final bosses of Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace.
FAQ
Is Alcaz Prison the same as Alcaz Island Prison?
Yes. BlizzCon showed the dungeon as Alcaz Island Prison, and some guides still use that name. Blizzard now calls it Alcaz Prison. It is the same dungeon on Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh, entered through a portal in the new stone prison building.
What level is Alcaz Prison?
Alcaz Prison is tuned for levels 48 to 53, and a group around level 50 has the easiest time. Older lists that say 48 to 55 come from before Blizzard's September level update. The Alliance quest The Dragon's Journal needs level 53.
Who is the last boss of Alcaz Prison?
The final boss is Blazeroar, an elite dragon. Killing it gives credit for the Master Spelunker Legacy challenge, and it drops Zarla's Journal, the item Alliance players need for The Dragon's Journal quest.
