World of Warcraft - Burning Crusade - Wrath of the Lich King - Cataclysm - Mists of Pandaria
This quick reference guide covers the areas (zones) that you can adventure in and at what levels it is viable and rewarding to do so. The level range is a rough guideline as some players or classes are able to handle more difficult fights than others. Feel free to go at your own pace and just use this as a rough idea of where to be.
[protip]Confused about where to go next in your leveling adventures? Remember,
almost every zone now contains a “breadcrumb”
quest. These quests will lead you from your current zone to the next
zone in line. [/protip]
