Going Solo in World of Warcraft: A Hero’s Journey

With the release of The War Within there are more ways than ever to carve your own path through the challenges and tales of World of Warcraft— and you can choose to take them on as a solo player. Whether you jump into Follower Dungeons or take on bite-sized challenges in Delves, you can experience more of World of Warcraft your own way.

If you're new to World of Warcraft, your first foray into Azeroth is through the Exile's Reach solo experience which will help guide you through the various skills and abilities of your new character and set you on the path to becoming a champion of Azeroth. At the end of the experience on Exile’s Reach you’ll be tasked with your first dungeon! Don’t worry, you’ll have some help from some NPCs.

Once you reach level 10, you can continue Azeroth’s story through Dragonflight as a solo player, undertaking a series of campaign and side-story quests as you discovery the evolving tales in the Dragon Isles. Quests that take you into Normal difficulty dungeons can also be completed using Follower Dungeons.

Veteran and returning players who create a new character will have the choice to start out in Exile’s Reach or in their character’s racial starting area. Upon reaching level 10, you can continue into Dragonflight or speak with Chromie in your capital city to choose a Timewalking Campaign. If you’re going solo, we strongly suggest choosing to continue through Dragonflight which allows you to engage in Follower Dungeons.

You can easily track quests and objectives by opening the Map (Hotkey-M) to get a quick snapshot of the quests you’re on, their status, and any other objectives you are interested in. When you open the map, you’ll see a list of the quests you’re undertaking and the type of quest each is right within the interface. For more information on the various map indicators, you can click on the Map Legend (exclamation point) to learn more. You can also use the map filter to show or hide specific types of content.
