CORPSE RETRIEVAL IN INSTANCED DUNGEONS
Sometimes you might fall dead in the middle of an instanced dungeon.
In this case, you simply need to cross through the instance portal to
resurrect your body, no matter where in the instance you died. Your
new body will appear just inside the instance portal.
ELITE OPPONENTS
Instances are home to elite monsters and quests, and thus are
sometimes called elite dungeons as well. Within an elite dungeon, the
only external indication that the monsters you are fighting are elite is
the golden dragon that encircles every elite monster's NPC portrait
when you click on it. These elite monsters are much stronger than
other monsters of the same level, with much greater health and more
powerful attacks and abilities. More so than normal adventuring
locales, dungeons are almost always the final location for finding a
quest NPC or quest item. The instanced portion of dungeons have even
better treasure than other places, but the monsters are also
commensurately stronger. Be very careful when entering an elite
dungeon without help. Quests that send you to an elite dungeon have
the elite tag in parentheses after the quest name in the quest log.
Enemies
Conflict is at the heart of the World of Warcraft. Both the Horde and the
Alliance are trying to carve out a peaceful existence for themselves, but
many dangers threaten to shatter this tenuous peace. Amid the oasis of
stability offered by the settlements of Azeroth are ferocious monsters and
hostile non-player characters.
Approaching Enemies
No matter what kind of enemy you are facing, whether it is a humanoid
NPC or a monster, you can tell with a few quick clicks whether it is hostile
or not to you.
If the creature or NPC you see in the world can be attacked, then your
mouse cursor will change to a sword icon when you mouse over it.
