Upper Blackrock Spire is the upper area of Blackrock Spire. The area of the Blackrock Spire instance to the north of the Hall of Blackhand is commonly known as Upper Blackrock Spire. It is treated as an independent instanced dungeon from Lower Blackrock Spire, although it is in fact part of the same, huge instance.
The instance is a raid with 10 player cap. After patch 4.0.3a it was updated to be a 5-man dungeon. Before patch 3.0.8 the raid required completion of the quest [60D] Seal of Ascension, to acquire the [Seal of Ascension]. After the patch this was no longer needed, as the door that lead to Upper Blackrock Spire was now permanently open.
To enter the Upper Spire, use the same raid entrance as the Lower Spire and follow the left wall as you enter. You will ascend a small flight of stairs and into a hall with smaller side chambers. Each chamber is filled with mobs and a small glowing rune. Defeating the mobs in a chamber will deactivate a rune and once each has faded, a double door at the back of the hall will open.

Notes[]
- See also: Removed Upper Blackrock Spire quests
- Before the release of the Patch 3.0.8 expansion, the raid required completion of the quest [60D] Seal of Ascension, to acquire the [Seal of Ascension] for at least one member of the party. However, this is no longer needed, as the door that leads to Upper Blackrock Spire is now permanently open.
- The door which leads to Upper Blackrock Spire will not be open, however, if your LFD party is queued for Lower Blackrock Spire.
- UBRS, or more precisely the Rookery, is the setting of the Leeroy Jenkins video.
