Hello,
Played lvl 80 druid during WOTLK.
Currently on a trial sneeking a peak and deciding on to subscribe or not.
My question: how can I get into low level instances through the dungeon finder?
From lvl 10 I can only enter Atal’Dazar or Freehold.
I can pick up quests that send me to Ragefire Chasm or SFK, but can’t use group finder to enter?
Cheers!
You can’t. 
This is unfortunate. The devs decided not to allow “new” people to do the regular levelling dungeons in order, but to force them through BfA. (More or less - “new” people can do lower level zones, sorta.) Since you are not on your old account, you are obviously “new” for this purpose.
On the upside, you can now level to 20 on a Starter Account, which is equivalent to about 50 in original level terms, which is a lot more than previously.
Why do you want to do RFC or DM? Nostalgia, or farming? I can run you through one if that will help.
Bit disappointing but ah well…
I was hoping to level through instances… Thanks for your offer though.
Well, you can still do the two BfA dungeons. They work OK for that. They are a lot more tricky than the beginner dungeons, and I wouldn’t start any new players in them, but with your experience, you will catch on quickly!
Will the lower lvl instances ‘open up’ at some point? Do/would I need one char at max lvl or something like that?
Can I then do lower lvl with alts?
I don’t think so, without adding game time and/or resurrecting your account, but I don’t know for sure.
You need to “not be a new player”. I’m not exactly sure what that means. I know that people who have hit level 50 and opened Boralus in BfA can qualify as “not being new”, but I’ve also seen reports that it sometimes doesn’t happen until you have 30 hours /played on that account, even for returning players on existing accounts who have hit 50.
Access to expansions (and the original dungeons are now considered part of the Cataclysm expansion)i by talking to Chromie in Stormwind or Org and accssing “Chromie Time”, allowing you to play through a specific expansion from level 10 to 50.
“New Players” can’t access Chromie Time.
I did meet a level 20 Twink on a Starter account who could access Chromie Time, but I think he had a second, paid account WoW account in his Battle.net account on which he had qualified as “not new”.
You could maybe try going through the BfA quest chain to Boralus. I don’t think that will work, but I don’t know for sure. I’ve seen nothing in announcements or Support that says exactly how to qualify.
I thought there was also a /played version of a new player, was it 30 hours played minimum?
Did you try setting Chromie time to Classic?
I haven’t played through 100% of BfA zones yet, there was no need, I didn’t need Allied races, I can access Chromie time.
The point is that “new players” can’t access Chromie Time at all. Chromie won’t talk to them.
And yes, the 30 hours seems to be a thing, but probably not the only thing.
I really wish they would give the full conditions somewhere of how to activate it, instead of people having to guess.
