Starting area

Starting areas are where new characters begin their life in World of Warcraft, based on their selection of race or hero class.

Shadowlands introduced a new starting zone available for characters that aren't allied races, death knights and demon hunters, Exile's Reach with a mini-dungeon.

Unlike other classes hero classes begin at a high level in their own special starting areas. Death knights starting off in The Ebon Hold in an instance version of the Eastern Plaguelands or for allied races and panderen at the Frozen Throne. Demon hunters begin in their own special starting experience.

Allied races need to be unlocked and start at level 10 in their own starting areas

Veteran players can start by choosing Exile's Reach or their old starting zone prior to Shadowlands. Players are more or less free to travel wherever they want from these starting location, but it is generally recommended that one complete the character- and race-specific quests in and around the character's starting locations. Worgen, goblins and pandaren start in instanced zones, and do not necessarily follow the same starting area layout patterns as the other races.

Characters who start with a Class Trial or Character Boost start in their own area.
