Chromie Time: Dragonflight
Updated 2026-09-22 · checked against Midnight 12.1
The Dragon Isles wake up and the dragonflights come home. Dragonflight is the campaign you get if you never talk to Chromie: new characters are placed in it by default.
How it starts
The Dragon Isles Await is picked up automatically. Alliance meet Wrathion in Stormwind; Horde meet Ebyssian in Orgrimmar. That leads to Aspectral Invitation and To the Dragon Isles!. Both factions play the same content from there.
Where it takes you
- The Waking Shores
- Ohn’ahran Plains
- The Azure Span
- Thaldraszus
Your first character takes them in that order. Alts in Adventure Mode can do them in any order. How the alt unlock works in detail is described two ways, and they may be two steps of the same process: finishing the campaign on one character, or doing four Waking Shores quests and then using Sendrax’s Scouting Map.
Dungeons you can queue for
While you are in the campaign, the group finder offers this expansion’s dungeons. Raids and Mythic dungeons are off limits until you leave Chromie Time, and some Heroics refuse entry below a set level.
| Instance | Type |
|---|---|
| Algeth'ar Academy | Dungeon |
| Brackenhide Hollow | Dungeon |
| Halls of Infusion | Dungeon |
| Neltharus | Dungeon |
| Ruby Life Pools | Dungeon |
| The Azure Vault | Dungeon |
| The Nokhud Offensive | Dungeon |
| Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr | Dungeon |
| Dawn of the Infinite | Dungeon |
| Vault of the Incarnates | Raid |
| Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible | Raid |
| Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope | Raid |
What carries across your account
- Skyriding is account-wide. The Dragonriding quest in the Dragon Isles unlocks it for every character, at level 10 since 11.0.0. Since 11.2.7 there is no skill track: Second Wind and Aerial Halt come at levels 20 and 30, and glyphs only count towards achievements.
- Most Dragonflight reputations are warband-wide, including renown. An alt levelling here builds on it. The exceptions are the Winterpelt Furbolg and the Glimmerogg Racer.
What this campaign puts in reach
Counting…
Counts are a floor, not a total. The expansion is not recorded for every collectible, and many source lines name a boss without a zone. "Missing" uses what you have ticked on the mounts, pets and toys pages, in this browser.
Where the sources disagree
- How far Chromie Time goes. Everyone agrees you can start a campaign up to about level 68–69. Whether you then stay scaled to 80 or are moved on at 70 is disputed: the wiki says 80, two levelling guides say 70, and there is no Blizzard patch note either way.
- Skyriding on older continents inside Chromie Time. The wiki says it works everywhere once unlocked. Nobody confirms it inside a campaign’s phasing.
