General notes on dungeons in Guild Wars 2:

    • All dungeons have a Story mode and an Explorable mode.

 

    • Story mode must be completed before you can access the explorable mode.

 

    • Apart from the level 80 dungeons, the explorable mode of each dungeon is intended for players roughly 5 levels higher than the story mode version. This is represented above in the level listing for each dungeon, with the first number representing the story mode level, and the second representing the intended level for explorable mode.
