*Alliance needs to L48 to begin attunement, Horde needs L55

I'm tired of WoWHead or some addon giving me incorrect or useless information. It seems like all the "level recommendations" that exist aren't actually based on reality. The latest one that bit me was RFD. I either see RFD reported as a either 37-47 or 40-50, but I just ran it at L43 and that was worthless in terms of EXP - lowest level mobs were grey, so not even giving any exp.

Thank for the chart :)

I made the same mistake, after finishing the SM grind I thought it would be good to grind RFD until I could go ZF, they are relatively close to each other. Uldaman is weird as well, with the beginning too easy and the end boss too high.

Small update - You can enter SFK as low as Level 10. I've confirmed it myself. I don't know if this is an error or intended behavior. Every source I've been able to find online says minimum to enter SFK is level 14. But I made a new alt and tested/confirmed it myself.

Thanks for sharing. The Instances list we published back in 2019 had most of this info and I merged in what looked new/different.

That Instances list was published for similar reasons to what you denoted namely that the many sources had various pieces of info but not all of it correct nor in a central place (pieces of info here and there). The other reasons that come to mind for publishing it was that some folk found it better to consume in spreadsheet format than in web page format and needed corrections were slow if not impossible to get made...

I noticed that there were minor differences in mob levels and what not in your list verses other published sources and generally I took your values unless I knew for sure otherwise (like for example I know for sure the SM Cath has at least level 37 mobs so I put that instead).

If I see that you make corrections here I will try to reflect them where appropriate. If you denote issues on the Instances list feel free to point them out (the spreadsheet has a comments feature with resolution tracking and if a large update is needed the spreadsheet is purposefully NOT copy protected so folk can use it and some have recommended large updates by sending me a link to their copy which I have taken).

Thanks again and great work.
