The Wailing Caverns is a level 15-24 instance located in The Barrens just southwest of the Crossroads. The recommended character level for doing this instance is 18-24 but a lower level group can do fine fighting the monsters outside of the instance. This will prove to be a challenging and rewarding experience for new folks just starting out.
