Level requirement for Northrend

68 is the min to enter northrend unless you get summoned in.

If you're going there to level, go there at 68. My DK is almost 76 right now and I've had no problems leveling up. I started there at 68. Hell, I'd go there earlier to face grind on mobs if I could. I was sick of Outlands.

Does Dalaran have trainers? I see my scribe maxing long before I level him to 68. Would be okay to set my hearth there with the portals, but wouldn't want to set it at a starter area and have to buy ports back every time.

And any trainers it doesn't have, it has ports to all the major cities, including Shat, so you're covered.

Level requirements to zone is are so stupid. If you can be summmoned in at any level, why can't you zone in?

If you bought the expansion you should be able to go anywhere (non-instance) you want, regardless of level.

68 is not the level requirement to ride boats/zeps or to zone in. My 67 hunter is sitting in HF right now.

I'll try it tonight see if I can ride. There is probably a level req for learning grand master like the other levels had I'm sure though.

This is good info. I've been helping my brother in law level his warrior. His warrior is 65 right now and I am SO sick of being in Outlands. If there truly is no requirement for him to ride the boat out there, I think I may have him come to NR with me and tag along while I work on some quests in Borean Tundra. He can get his XP that way for a while.

Where exactly are these ports? I haven't found them yet. Or perhaps I haven't visited the city that they are in?

Alliance: Stormwind Harbor goes to Borean Tundra. Menethel Harbor goes to Howling Fjord.

Horde: Orgrimmar & Undercity...no idea where they go to.

No, I meant the ports that go to like Shatt, etc. The ones like what are in shatt that take u to SW, IF, and Darn.

I heard there were ports, but never seen any.

the ports to the major cities are there in Dalaran. just go into your prospective area of Dalaran (alliance or scumbag) and they will be there.

You can be any level to get into Outlands or Northrend. I've seen lowbies that were in there. Physically getting there yourself can be a big chore at lower levels unless you're prepared to corpse-walk your way through.

There are, however, easier methods to get there. One is to pay a mage, the other is to pay a warlock to summon (or if you have high level friends, they can do it for free).

The mage has to be level 74, the lock has to simply just be inside Dalaran. A lock can summon from any level. The mage gets his portal at 74 (he can self port to Dalaran at 71).

There are portals inside the city at Dalaran. Explore around, talk with guards. There are points of interest and many things for you to look at. The biggest benefit to having a hearthstone saved to Dalaran is that you'll have access to any major city, regardless of level.

If you want to take the horde side zeps, you can take the zep from Orgrimmar to Borean Tundra (the western side), or from Undercity to Howling Fjord (the eastern side).

If you're alliance, you have to head over to blackrock mountain. Head inside and get to the dwarf with the chain. Go halfway down the first link of chain and then strafe to the side, you'll be right in Northrend. (Not really, but I don't play alliance, so screw you guys, eat some lava).

The level requirements are strictly for questing. 58 to quest in Outlands. 68 to quest in Northrend. They're not physical limitations to keep you out, assuming you purchased BC/LK.
