Dungeon XP and leveling approach

The November 2 Blizzard development notes increased dungeon creature-kill XP by approximately 20% compared with the preceding tuning and corrected lower-level party member XP calculations. Dungeon quests remain a major extra source of experience, so repeat-farming without quests does not tell the whole story. For most players, collecting the available dungeon quests before the run is more important than blindly repeating the same instance. Actual XP depends on level, group composition, quests completed, travel time and the current hotfixes.

Before traveling to City of Dalaran, collect quests that are available to your faction and check prerequisite chains. Use the lower end of the published level reference only as an initial planning point; bring a reliable party if this is your first clear.

Quest guide and chains

Faction selection hides irrelevant quests where the source explicitly identifies a faction. Quests marked Both may still have race, class or progression constraints.
