Green Text = These dungeons are popular and easy to find groups for; they are good places to level and offer a smooth overall group experience.
Blue Text = These zones pose an average difficulty.

Orange Text = a good challenge for that level! These dungeons prove more daunting than the average dungeons!
Red Text = These are the hardest of the hard!
