Instances by level

From WoWWiki

For information on how to get into each instance (key, attunement, etc), see Instance attunement.

This article is a list of instances by level.

Colors:  Regular Dungeon ,  Raid Dungeon ,  Heroic Dungeon 

  • Numbers within the bars indicate the maximum number of players allowed in the instance.
  • Numbers after the instance name indicate the minimum level to enter, if known; and the recommended level range (in parentheses).
  • means there are reputation requirements with a faction in order to obtain entry.

Examples:

  • "5" means that 5 players is recommended/the maximum.
  • For limits on quest completion and experience when using a raid group rather than a party see Raid.
  • Horde means only Horde players have quests there, and Alliance means only Alliance have quests there.

Prior to Patch 2.4.0, those of levels 69 or below (67 or below for druids) could have not entered the Tempest Keep Instances. As of patch 2.4, however, the restrictions on Warlock Summoning has been lifted, and thus those previous players that were unable to enter, may now enter depending on the minimum level for these instances. Another barrier to entry was lowered when flying mounts became available at level 60 in Patch 3.2.0.
