This article or section contains information that is out-of-date. Please replace the old information with up to date information. This may include rewriting sections to ensure they are clear and concise, and wikifying. Reason: Needs update for Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and beyond. Existing areas need to be re-checked.

Elite areas (aka non-instanced dungeons, micro dungeons, and half dungeons) are areas in a non-instanced zone full of elite mobs. These usually require a group to complete and are often the focus of group quests.

As of Patch 2.3 some of these areas are no longer filled with elite monsters, but rather with normal mobs.
