Dalaran's loading-screen art was read from beta build 1.60.1.70058. It illustrates the city; the presence of an asset does not establish dungeon access.

The current installed beta client, build 1.60.1.70205, contains a City of Dalaran instance map and area records named Dalaran and Fel Grove. Those records describe the destination's structure, without supplying a run order or a working entrance.

Where 28-33 Fits

Use Blizzard's 28-33 bracket when comparing the announced new dungeons. Wowhead's Dalaran guide recommends 28-35, then gives 20-35 elsewhere, and warns that untested-dungeon information may use Classic or database records. Those conflicting recommendations do not replace Blizzard's published range.Planned, first-party, in the future tenseSource: Blizzard dungeon brackets, opening post, City of Dalaran row; checked Oct 3, 2026.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Wowhead Dalaran guide, recommended levels, location text and availability caveat; checked Oct 3, 2026.

The overlap does not establish Dalaran access. For a group choosing a run now, use the published beta dungeon roster. For questing between runs, the leveling guide separates the current beta path from later-level planning.Source: October 1 beta notes, Changes and Updates; checked Oct 3, 2026. The next of these announced brackets is The Drowned City at 35-40.

Reported Dungeon Quest Records

Wowhead's Forever database associates eight quest records with City of Dalaran. The October 3 list marks all eight with a required level of 24 and a quest level of 33. These are database records for preparation, not confirmation that the quests can be completed in the current beta.

The two Heart of Disruption entries have different quest IDs, one per faction. The quest-level field and required-level field serve different purposes; neither changes the announced 28-33 dungeon bracket. Quest starters, prerequisites, completion routes and reward availability need current access verification before this becomes a walkthrough.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Wowhead City of Dalaran database, quest listview retained Oct 3, 2026.

City of Dalaran FAQ

What level is City of Dalaran?

Blizzard's announced bracket is 28-33. Treat it as a planning range rather than a proven minimum entry level.

Does the current beta dungeon list include Dalaran?

No. The October 1 access list omits it. Client map and quest records do not independently establish current server access.
