Vanilla WoW launched with 40 zones across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, with the majority being contested territory. In this guide, I’ll go over all WoW Classic zones by level for Season of Discovery and Hardcore.

What are the Level Ranges for Every Zone in WoW Classic Azeroth?

Out of the 40 zones across pre-Cataclysm Azeroth, only 11 are faction zones. The rest are contested and rife with PvP activity unless you’re playing on a PvE server. In Season of Discovery Phase 2, our level cap is 40. The last leveling zones will likely be Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale or the Alterac Mountains. In our lists below, we’ve segmented them between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.

That’s it for all WoW Classic zones by level range. Getting between the two continents is easy, but we still won’t be able to safely traverse most of Azeroth in SoD Phase 2. Things will change when the level cap is raised to 50 with Phase 3, but there are still plenty of zones to quest and PvP up to level 40 in Phase 2.
