Can You Go to Howling Fjord at 68?
Direct Answer
The direct answer to this question is no, you cannot go to Howling Fjord at 68. Howling Fjord has a level range of 68-72, which means that any characters level 68 can only go there and access its content after reaching the level cap. For players who are interested in accessing the content in Howling Fjord before reaching the level 72 requirement, it is suggested to consider questing in other regions of Outlands before heading to Northrend.
Understanding the Level Requirement
When we talk about Howling Fjord, we are specifically referring to a level range of 68-72, meaning that any character at the level of 68 cannot fully utilize the content in Howling Fjord. In contrast to previous expansions, WotLK’s Northrend offers players the opportunity to choose whether they want to quest there, engage in combat, or just experience the cinematic storytelling. One important factor to note is that, just like other expansions before WotLK, Northrend will allow players to level their characters using level requirements.
Alternatives and Preparations
However, before reaching level 70 in WotLK, it’s a good idea to keep leveling and gearing up by engaging in content in The Outlands, the previous region available. It is also recommended that you spend a few hours to max out the rep level with both Troll and NightElf factions, to help secure some of the epic set items. While gearing up, keep in mind the follow tips:
-
- Start gearing yourself in the Outlands
-
In terms of gearing, if you decide to continue leveling at lower levels, keep in mind the tips provided above. Level 66 is a bit high of a level to jump up but level 60 could provide more opportunities and faster growth at that level, or vice versa.
