This article is a list of Wrath of the Lich King instances by level.

• / means only Horde/Alliance players have quests there.
• You may be able to be summoned via the summoning stone despite the fact that your character's level is outside the recommended level range.

Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): To use any Meeting Stone, it is only required that the character’s minimum level be 15. There is no maximum character level requirement for any Meeting Stone.

• 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.
