Excavation Site: Wetlands is the new dungeon to try in the second beta phase. Blizzard's October 1 development notes list it for levels 26–31, alongside newly accessible Razorfen Downs and Uldaman. Blackfathom Deeps and Gnomeregan were already part of the test.

Characters can now reach level 30 instead of stopping at 20. This expands the ongoing beta rather than starting a separate test: MMOHUB's game page notes a September 17 start. Players who hit the old cap have another leveling stretch available.

Don't count City of Dalaran among this build's playable dungeons. Senior Game Designer Josh Greenfield corrected his podcast remarks, explaining that he had mistakenly said both new dungeons would arrive together. Dalaran is reserved for a later beta update, with no confirmed opening date.

Entry still depends on selection after opting in, or access from an eligible bundle. The Skyborne Epic Pack includes it, as does Warcraft Forever Collection. Installation is through the Battle.net launcher; the raised cap does not turn the test into an open beta.

Blizzard lists October 21 as the final full testing day, without an exact shutdown time.
