The Phase 2 Dungeon Boundary in February 2024
This is a historical Season of Discovery reference for the level-40 phase. Phase 2 began February 8, 2024. It is not the entry list for present-day SoD, Classic Era or WoW Forever.
Uldaman and Razorfen Downs were accessible; Maraudon and Zul’Farrak were not. The seasonal restriction overrode the ordinary entry level. A character meeting a dungeon’s usual minimum could still encounter a phase lock.
Five-Player Dungeons You Could Enter
The table retains the entry thresholds recorded in Wowhead’s February 16, 2024 dungeon list. These are entry minimums, not recommended levels for defeating every boss.
| Accessible dungeon | Minimum entry level |
|---|---|
| Ragefire Chasm | 10 |
| Wailing Caverns | 10 |
| The Deadmines | 10 |
| Shadowfang Keep | 14 |
| The Stockade | 15 |
| Scarlet Monastery | 21 |
| Razorfen Kraul | 25 |
| Uldaman | 30 |
| Razorfen Downs | 35 |
Scarlet Monastery includes different wings; the shared entry threshold should not be read as a claim that every wing suits a level-21 group.
Locked Dungeons and Converted Raids Were Different Cases
Maraudon and Zul’Farrak remained outside the Phase 2 boundary even though their ordinary minimums were below 40. Higher-level dungeons were also unavailable: the Temple of Atal’Hakkar, Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Dire Maul, Scholomance and Stratholme.
Blackfathom Deeps and Gnomeregan need a different label. Their old five-player versions were not available in SoD because they had been converted into raids. “Cannot enter as a dungeon” did not mean the raid content itself was closed.
Blizzard’s Phase 2 launch overview identifies Gnomeregan as the level-40, ten-player raid with six bosses. Build the correct group for that version instead of following an Era five-player route.
Plan the Objective Before Forming the Group
Entry permission answers only the first question. For Uldaman or Razorfen Downs, agree whether the group is attempting early bosses, a specific quest or a full clear. A minimum-level character passing the portal does not establish that the party can finish the instance.
Also separate a skill-book trip from a gear run. Blizzard added class skill books to five-player dungeon creature drops in this phase; those improvements did not use a rune slot. Check the intended reward and class requirement rather than assuming every dungeon run advances the same objective.
For the order in which later content opened, see the 2024 SoD phase and raid timeline. Later access does not change what was locked during Phase 2.
