Random dungeon requirements

[HTeam]

So I tried queuing for a random dungeon with my level 70 shaman team. The levels for nexus are listed at 69-80. When I queue with 4 70's and 1 80, I get the message that "One or more party members do not meet the requirements for the chosen dungeons".

Is the 80 too high? Are my shaman not geared enough? Are they just too far apart in level?

All my shaman can queue individually.

Regular Nexus is rated as green, and the yellow dungeons don't start until Gundrak at level 74.

Anyone know the rules that I'm stumbling into?

Are all 5 shaman? You need at least 1 tank.

why bother even using the random dungeon tool since your not lv 80? just go there and run in the instance, this will probably allow it to work normally.

Random dungeon daily equals 2 emblems of triumph.

I tried queing up with my 4 shaman and a buddy's fresh 80 pally tank. It would not let me check off Regular FoS to que for.........saying that the tank didnt have good enough gear!
I laughed my ass off. So we had to do it the "old" way and just fly there.

isn't that only for heroics? which he isn't doing since he's lv 70

There's 2 emblems of triumph, for the first normal run in a day.
No badges after that, for normals.

I'm queueing one geared out 80 dk with my 4 poorly geared shaman. The 4 man team can all queue as a group no problem. There are only three eligible dungeons, all having ranges going up to 80.

There is no other clue though as to why they are denied.

I'll try some more combos tomorrow, 1 tank, 1 shaman, etc...

hmm...oh, it was the level 80 queueing us. That was most likely the problem.

I was all hopeful for a second. I tried queuing with my level 70 as leader and no luck. Only 3 dungeons are listed under "random lich king dungeon" and all three of those (Nexus, UK, AN) are listed as going up to level 80. They are also listed under the specific dungeons for my level 80.

So for now I'll just assume that characters have to be within a certain range of each other and try again at 71.


As for the benefits of running it as a random:
2 Emblem of Triumph (first run)
14.8 gold (first run - second run unkown)
33100 exp - probably

That's a quest and a half of exp for doing a random dungeon, which is a nice little bonus at the end of a run which pulls a lot of exp on its own.

You get 2x frost for the heroic daily random.
