Level is the level you need to accept the quest. Pick up says whether you can grab it before the run (Outside), only once you are in (Inside), or from a drop. Share tells you whether a party member can share it with you. Hover a quest name for its Wowhead Forever tooltip.

BEFORE YOU ZONE IN

Pick these up first, zone by zone.

Every quest that starts outside the dungeon, grouped by where the giver stands. Quests with a prerequisite are marked, because the giver will have nothing for you until the earlier steps are done.
