Follower Dungeons<\/strong> are a new addition that arrived with patch 10.2.5<\/a> in World of Warcraft. These are essentially Dragonflight dungeons where any open spots in your party are filled by NPCs. They\u2019re a particular godsend for DPS players who don\u2019t have a full group and don\u2019t want to wait for the (inevitably long) dungeon queue in Looking for Group.<\/p>\n

This new dungeon tool is also handy if you're unfamiliar with a dungeon and want to get to grips with it before hopping in with other players. With that in mind, here\u2019s everything you need to know about World of Warcraft Follower Dungeons.<\/p>\n

Are WoW Follower Dungeons worth doing?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Follower Dungeons are currently limited to Dragonflight, so they\u2019re mostly good for getting damage-dealing characters from 60-70 if you don\u2019t want to quest in the outside world. Questing or running dungeons with groups of players (either pre-made or as a tank\/healer, with their shorter queues) are more efficient means of leveling.<\/p>\n

Follower Dungeons are chill, however, and make a pleasant addition to the game when you have a few minutes to kill. They represent one way to get an alt character experience, pick up a few extra pieces on a new max-level character, complete a quest that requires a dungeon run, or farm for that glyph or item that drops off that one boss.<\/p>\n

One other bonus to consider: You\u2019ll never have to worry about a too-fast or too-toxic group again\u2014although your followers will quit your party if you die! Don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ll show up again after you release.<\/p>\n

You can queue for Follower Dungeons as you would any other Dragonflight dungeon. Open the Looking for Group tool and select Follower Dungeons from the drop-down list in the upper right corner. You\u2019ll be presented with the list of Dragonflight dungeons, minus Dawn of the Infinites, and can check as many as you like.<\/p>\n

These are Normal-difficulty Dragonflight dungeons, and you can queue with one to four other players in your party. Currently, Follower Dungeons require level 60 and a 180 item level to queue, though that may change in the next expansion when Dragonflight becomes the default leveling experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gear that drops from them is the typical Normal dungeon leveling gear, which gets better as you get higher-level, maxing out at Explorer loot at level 70. At 3\/8 on that upgrade track, that\u2019s 421 item level\u2014so this is one more way to get an alt a piece or two of gear if they\u2019re behind.<\/p>\n

Sadly, you can't just run Follower Dungeons endlessly as you are limited to 10 a day. If you\u2019re leveling and use a full party of NPC companions, you\u2019ll get about 80 percent of the XP you would in a pickup group of players.<\/p>\n

When you queue up (alone or with friends), the game will populate the rest of the group with whatever you\u2019re missing\u2014a tank, healer, or another damage dealer or two. If you\u2019ve done the Exile\u2019s Reach starting experience for new players, you might recognize some of the names\u2014these characters are NPCs you saw during that experience, including the final dungeon at the end.<\/p>\n
