This article is a list of instances by level.

Colors:  Regular Dungeon ,  Heroic Dungeon ,  Raid Dungeon 

  • Numbers within the bars indicate the maximum number of players allowed in the instance.
  • Following the name of the instance, in parentheses ( ), is a common term or abbreviation used by players to refer to that instance.
  • Horde/Alliance means only Horde/Alliance players have quests there.
  • Numbers indicate the minimum level to enter, the minimum - maximum level to queue for the instance using the Dungeon Finder tool; and the level range of the mobs (in parentheses).
  • Patch 3.3.0 removed the maximum character level requirement for any Meeting Stone, only required that the character’s minimum level be 15.
  • Note that the level range required to use the Dungeon Finder may differ from the recommended level range; the level ranges it uses can be found at Dungeon finder instance breakdown.
  • Many instances were adjusted in Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3

Flying Tempest Keep instances Edit

  • Initially, only level 70s who had purchased a flying mount (or druids of 68 and above, who had been trained [Flight Form]/[Swift Flight Form]) could enter the Tempest Keep Instances.
  • In Patch 2.4.0 the restrictions on warlock summoning were lifted, and thus those previous players that were unable to enter (unable to fly), may now enter depending on the minimum level for these instances.
  • In Patch 3.2.0 another barrier to entry was lowered when flying mounts (or Flight Form) became available at level 60.
  • Since Patch 3.3.0 it is no longer necessary to fly to the Tempest Keep, if the player uses the cross-realm Dungeon Finder tool (the player gets summoned to the instance automatically).
