WoW Forever dungeons: levels for all nine new instances

The new dungeons span the leveling journey. Check Blizzard’s corrected brackets before planning your route, especially if your chart still puts Krol’dok at 40–55.

The confirmed brackets

October 2 update: Blizzard now lists Excavation Site: Wetlands at 26–31. The previous 24–29 range is obsolete.

Blizzard published the nine brackets. Krol’dok is corrected to 40–45; some charts still show 40–55.

Dalaran joined the dungeons open for testing on October 8. Its announced range is 28–33; that does not establish the minimum entry level.

Two dungeons every 15 or 20 levels?

There is no regular pattern like that. The table has overlapping brackets and gaps without a new instance. Counting two additions per fifteen levels gives the wrong picture.

When planning an evening, start with your lowest-level friend. Pick a destination the whole group can reasonably attempt and allow time to travel. The bottom of a bracket does not guarantee your group can clear everything.

A route for first-time players

Our take: these stops could help new players keep adventuring with the same group as they level. Say when it is your first visit. Five people pretending to know the way rarely make a faster run.

Before setting off, compare available quests and rewards your group actually wants.
