Enter WoW instances via the dungeon browser - how it works
Dungeon instances in "World of Warcraft", or "WoW" for short, can be easily accessed through the dungeon browser. Here you can find out how it works - and what the requirements are.
Enter WoW instances with the dungeon browser - how it works:
- First of all, your character must reach the minimum level for dungeons. That is currently at level 15.
- Then you can either open the pop-up window of the Dungeon Finder by clicking on the menu icon for the dungeon browser or by pressing the "I" key on your keyboard.
- The dungeon browser shows you which instances you can easily and automatically enter with it. If you grow out of the intended level range, you can still play the old instances, but you have to enter them in the usual way on site. By right-clicking on your portrait, you can also set the difficulty level to Heroic.
- The big advantage of the dungeon browser is that it automatically groups groups according to roles.
- You first decide with a check mark in which roles you want to play the dungeon instance - whether as a tank, healer or damage dealer - depending on the profession, you can also tick several options.
- The fastest way is usually when you make yourself available as a tank or healer. These roles are load-bearing and are often criticized, so there is less rush than the "normal" fighter parts.
- Now you only have to choose whether you want to queue for a random dungeon or a specific instance (usually takes longer). There are usually additional bonus rewards for random instances.
- Now start the search with a click of the button - and off you go. Now all you have to do is wait for the dungeon browser to find a full adventurer party - it even works across servers. It can go a lot faster than finding people in the chat.
- Nevertheless, you should be prepared for longer waiting times, because "WoW" is suffering acutely from player loss: Currently in May 2014 there are "only" 7.6 million worldwide - a few years ago it was almost 11. Of course it is still more than in most other MMOs - but the difference to the past is still noticeable.
