In Battle for Azeroth, the maximum level has been raised again. The way there leads with quests through two new continents. Many fans and players of World of Warcraft are wondering: What to do with level 120?
New maximum level: Upon reaching level 120, you can enter the “endgame content” of Battle for Azeroth. Most of the new features and content of the new World of Warcraft expansion take place here as well.

Level 120 – what now?
The leveling phases in World of Warcraft often feel like the longest part of an expansion, but the real content is always waiting at the maximum level. Battle for Azeroth offers some features with which you can still make progress after leveling up.
Gathering gear to become stronger
One of the most important aspects for most players is to become stronger – even in the endgame. To continuously improve your gear, you have several options in Battle for Azeroth.
World Quests: The first step for most players will likely be the world quests. These reward you with reputation, resources, gold, or items. Most can be completed quickly, and additional rewards come from emissary quests.
The reputation from world quests is an important point. The factions reward you with very good initial items, and world quests are currently the only way to effectively farm reputation. Through contracts from scribes, you can also gain targeted reputation with factions by completing world quests.
Dungeons: The second approach are the dungeons of Battle for Azeroth. At level 120, 8 dungeons on 3 difficulty levels will be available to you at the start. Each difficulty level offers different quality loot:
- Normal: Loot with item level 310+
- Heroic: Loot with item level 325+ (requires 305 to enter the random finder)
- Mythic: Loot with item level 340
If you do not want to wait in the dungeon browser, you can always head out with a pre-made group. The item level restrictions do not apply here. However, keep in mind that particularly mythic dungeons can be very hard with weaker gear.
Artifact Power: You mainly collect artifact power, or Azerite power, in Battle for Azeroth “on the side.” You receive artifact power for many world quests, but also in dungeons or from chests in the world.
With artifact power, you upgrade your “Heart of Azeroth”. This increases your item level and allows you to enhance pieces of Azerite gear. A possible way to specifically gather artifact power are the island expeditions.
Catch up on missed things
On the way to level 120, you likely have not seen and completed everything there is to see and do in Battle for Azeroth. At level 120, you have enough time to make up for most of that.
Professions: Many players forego leveling professions during the leveling phase or focus only on mining and herbalism to secure additional experience. At level 120, you can start leveling all professions.
Depending on the profession, you will need approximately 2 to 6 hours if you focus or have even done some preliminary work. The professions reward you with useful items or gear – up to item level 300 and even 355 at later stages.
Complete all quests: You should aim to complete all quests in all areas afterwards to achieve the achievement “Kul Tourist” (Alliance)/”Zandalar Forever!” (Horde). You need these later for the Pathfinder achievement, which allows you to ride or even fly faster.
You should also push the war campaign as far as possible, as you will often encounter hurdles that take a while to overcome. Particularly, the reputation with your war faction takes a while.
Fight it out!
Finally, you have the option to simply fight it out. If you leveled up in war mode, you have likely experienced some conflicts between players.
At level 120, you can pick up PvP quests that encourage you to fight players from the other faction in certain areas. This encourages you to participate in PvP in the open world if you are not interested in battlegrounds – as they do not allow rankings yet.
If you feel like a completely different type of combat, visit the Duelist guild. Here you can queue up similarly to the fighting guilds of the past. Instead of fighting special NPCs, you will find a duel against a random player.
