Are any dungeons harder for Horde to reach?
Yes. In Warcraft Tavern's list the Deadmines (Westfall), the Stockade (Stormwind City), Gnomeregan (Dun Morogh) and the new Hall of Thanes (levels 13 to 18, beneath Ironforge) have entrances in Alliance zones. For the Hall of Thanes, Blizzard says Horde groups "will need to brave the journey into Alliance territory"; Wowhead says Horde players have far fewer quests there, and Warcraft Tavern says none inside. No source I opened says an original dungeon is closed to your faction.
Why do sources list different level ranges?
Wowhead (updated November 6) lists Wailing Caverns 15-25, Shadowfang Keep 22-30, Razorfen Kraul 30-40 and Razorfen Downs 40-50. Warcraft Tavern lists 15-24, 20-30, 29-38 and 37-46, and Ruins of Lordaeron at 15-22 against Blizzard's 15-20. Kami Labs, reading beta client data on October 10, lists lower Group Finder levels (17 for Wailing Caverns, 18 for Shadowfang Keep). No source explains the differences; use the level shown in game.
Are there known problems for Horde dungeons?
Two, as of November 6. Blizzard's November 5 known-issues thread says a cauldron near Roogug in Razorfen Kraul can trap players who fall in. Wowhead reports that two Horde Ruins of Lordaeron quests, The Wrath of Rath'mael and The New Plague, now need a quest chain first. Warcraft Tavern reported on September 14 that the Looking For Group tool does not form groups automatically; see looking for group.
What is not confirmed yet
- Final level ranges: the sources above disagree.
- Whether Blizzard will change dungeon XP; see dungeon XP and buffs.
How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with this?
The free Lore Forever add-on, fan-made and not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access; when you enter a dungeon it links a primer in chat with an overview and the bosses in order. Willo is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; her FAQ and the Lore Forever FAQ say Windows and Mac, though CurseForge still calls her a Windows app. Ask her which dungeon is next; she is free to start with 50 answers a day and can be wrong, so the in-game text decides.
