Dungeon Leveling in WoW Forever: XP, Groups, Levels

What changed for dungeon XP (beta)

• Monsters: about 20% more XP in dungeons official (beta notes of Oct 8)
• Dungeon quests: 50% less bonus XP official (beta notes of Oct 1)
• Rewards: several dungeon quest rewards are now green instead of blue, with adjusted stats. official (Oct 8)
• Values can still change before launch. We'll update this page after launch.

Why carries don't work

As in Classic, the XP penalty for low-level monsters depends on your own level, not on the highest player in the group. If someone is far above the monsters' level, nobody gets XP. official (Oct 8) A high-level friend can help you with a hard boss, but they can't power-level you through a dungeon.

Finding a group

• WoW Forever has an official Group Finder with a dungeon list. official (Oct 15) It shows which dungeons suit the group, even with different levels, and has a "Show All Level Ranges" option.
• An automatic dungeon finder that builds the group and teleports you in doesn't exist, per fan sites. You travel to the entrance together.
• More: Group finder

Which dungeon fits your level?

• WoW Forever adds nine new dungeons from level 13 to 60. The original dungeons stay, with reworked loot and hundreds of new drops. official

Before you go in

1. Pick up the dungeon quests. Many dungeon quests start outside the dungeon. Our checklist shows the quest givers: Dungeon quests
2. Check the level range for everyone in the group, not just yourself.
3. Agree on loot rules before the first boss.

Legacy bonus

Defeating all final bosses of the dungeons in a level range (15–25, 26–45, 46–60) completes a Legacy challenge, worth one account-wide point each. official Legacy system

What we don't know yet

• XP per hour or "the fastest dungeon": there are no measurements yet. We'll add real numbers after launch, not before.
