I noticed that lots of WoW sites fail to publish some basic info on a lot of instances, and figured I might as well share my notes and links. Will update as needed. Please note is is based from an Alliance point of view. The Deadmines [wowwiki] xx,yy @ Westfall. Suggested Levels: 17-26 Minimum Level: 10 Max party size: 10 Exit Level: 15 Closest FP: Sentinel Hill, Westfall Mages: 1 Major Loot: Defias Set Stockades [wowwiki] xx,yy @ Stormwind Suggested Levels: 24-32 Minimum Level: 15 Max party size: 10 Exit Level: 22 Closest FP: Stormwind City Mages: 1 Major Loot: Prison Shank (Rare mob) Razor's Edge Blackfathom Depths [wowwiki] 15,14 @ Ashenvale Suggested Levels: 24-32 Minimum Level: 15?

Good loot for lvl. Long walk from Southshore (~15min), but safe for low levels. Note: * The "Mages" tag denotes the difficulty of AoEing the instance. "1 Mage" is one 70 green-geared mage, 2 would be a full epiced t6 mage. * Removed worldofwar links, cause they suck, and changed their content.
SM minimum is in fact 20. I have brought 2 toons in at that level. I was however being pulled through SM Cath and at level 20 you should wait about 30 seconds for your 70 to get a good head start because, you will pull most of the courtyard when you zone in.
