Each mode is heavily tied with the bosses\u2019 and mobs\u2019 health pool, resistances, the used abilities, and loot. Some instances, on top of this, like Ahn\u2019kahet: The Old Kingdom, have heroic-only bosses like Amanitar that drop unique gear.\u00a0However, to prevent players from immediately jumping into heroic dungeons and gathering the best-in-slot gear, Blizzard had to lock heroic dungeons behind simple requirements.\u00a0 WOTLK Classic heroic dungeons, unlike TBC Classic, require no completing lengthy attunement chains, but you can rather, after meeting the basic requirements, head to heroic dungeons and begin collecting your best-in-slot gear for the first raids\u2014Naxxramas, Ulduar, and Eye of the Eternity.\u00a0Since Blizzard drastically changed how heroic dungeons work in WOTLK Classic, we\u2019ll cover the basics of how to enter heroic dungeons in WOTLK Classic, including level requirements, gear score, and item level. Related: Ultimate WotLK Classic dungeon guide WoW WotLK Classic Heroic dungeons requirements Before you can make your way to WOTLK Classic dungeons, you\u2019ll first need to meet the basic requirements. These include specific gear score, item level, and character level. First of all, your character needs to reach level 80 to unlock heroic dungeons.After that, you should focus on grinding the best possible gear from normal dungeons to not only have significantly smoother runs but also to meet the minimal item level and gearscore requirements. Item level, which is the average level of all your equipped items, should be 180 or higher. On top of that, gearscore, which is a player-made system that essentially works in the same manner as item levels, should be at least 3,500. How to enter heroic dungeons in WOTLK Classic Blizzard entirely removed the Random Dungeon Finder tool from WOTLK Classic that, during the original expansion, massively simplified the gearing process and cut down to a minimum your travel time. So now you can only use the basic Dungeon Finder tool that only helps you find players interested in doing the same dungeon. Once you gather your party via Looking for Group chat or basic Dungeon Finder, you\u2019ll need to head to the pre-selected dungeons by either flying there or traveling by foot. After you reach your dungeon and before you enter it, you\u2019ll need to set the dungeon difficulty to heroic. Then, you\u2019ll be set for your first heroic dungeon run.\u00a0 Good luck and have fun.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15050052\/Dungeon-WoW-Wotlk.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694762"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":778609,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762\/revisions\/778609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=694762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Related: Ultimate WotLK Classic dungeon guide WoW WotLK Classic Heroic dungeons requirements Before you can make your way to WOTLK Classic dungeons, you\u2019ll first need to meet the basic requirements. These include specific gear score, item level, and character level. First of all, your character needs to reach level 80 to unlock heroic dungeons.After that, you should focus on grinding the best possible gear from normal dungeons to not only have significantly smoother runs but also to meet the minimal item level and gearscore requirements. Item level, which is the average level of all your equipped items, should be 180 or higher. On top of that, gearscore, which is a player-made system that essentially works in the same manner as item levels, should be at least 3,500. How to enter heroic dungeons in WOTLK Classic Blizzard entirely removed the Random Dungeon Finder tool from WOTLK Classic that, during the original expansion, massively simplified the gearing process and cut down to a minimum your travel time. So now you can only use the basic Dungeon Finder tool that only helps you find players interested in doing the same dungeon. Once you gather your party via Looking for Group chat or basic Dungeon Finder, you\u2019ll need to head to the pre-selected dungeons by either flying there or traveling by foot. After you reach your dungeon and before you enter it, you\u2019ll need to set the dungeon difficulty to heroic. Then, you\u2019ll be set for your first heroic dungeon run.\u00a0 Good luck and have fun.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/15050052\/Dungeon-WoW-Wotlk.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694762"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":778609,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694762\/revisions\/778609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=694762"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=694762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
