Can't queue to some dungeons at level 80

[Kalaw-golemagg]

So, I leveled a fresh character to level 80 as a resto druid. So my main gameplay is dungeon leveling. I had my characther equiped with as much heirlooms as I could.

Once I hit 80 my plan was to keep the grind to replace the heirlooms so I could get enough gearscore to go into heroics, etc…
But now I cannot use the dungeon finder to queue to dungeons that give upgrades… I can only queue to the normal versions of The Old Kingdom, Azjol-Nerub, Drak’Tharon Keep, Violet Hold, Gundrak (Gundrak is the one that gives the loot with the biggest item level of 179, heroics require 180)
I CANNOT queue to Oculus, Halls of Light, Halls of Stone, Utgarde Pinnacle, Culling of Stratholme. Funny enough I could queue to most of this dungeons when I was level 79!

Is this intended behaviour?

Improve your item level. Buy some gear from the AH with ilevel 200+.

Might be something is not right with dungeon finder, think there has been a few issues not sure if this is one.

Quickest thing might be like above poster said, try buy couple cheap upgrades from AH get you into HC’s

That’s weird. I know normal Dungeons also have the ilvl. Requirement in RDF (my priest is short from meeting one for ICC trio) but at ilvl 147 I was able to queue into anything up to TotC. No Heroics or god forbid Gammas though.

Hi, I encountered the same issue since 2 days ago. I ran all of the dungeons you mentioned to level up and a day after hitting 80 I can t see those dungeons anymore. My ilvl is 180.

Yes it’s a bug, as soon as you hit 80 most normal mode dungeons are just gone from dungeon finder. You can pretty easily get the item level needed for heroics by doing some of the first quests in icecrown for items to replace your heirlooms with though.
