All of the starting areas scale correctly for lets say a level 1, except elwynn forest, the mobs are still the wrong level scaling wise, it’s only this zone too. Minor I know, just a weird bug that I thought I should show.

I’m confused. I’ve had no issues with mob scaling in Elwyn. Are you trying to do the zone before finishing northshire Abbey? Because I think the Elwyn scaling starts at level 10. Heading out there as a level 1 is gonna be bad.
All starter zones assume you’ve leveled in the introductory area first. It’s by design.

Elwynn scales from 5-60 (1-60 if you include Northshire which is a separate subzone). It’s the only zone that needs to scale more than 5 levels properly. It, like darkshire, also hosts Cata and Legion content.
Lol, adding scaling has really messed up alot on the backend huh.

Every single starter zone besides elwynn can be done all quests at level 1, except elwynn, thats what im trying to get at. You can do all of Dun Morogh at level 1, same with the other starting areas, elwynn you cant.
Elwynn has a unique subzone for 1-5 leveling

I had no issues in classic with my gnome mage scaling with mobs. I chose to level in Elwyn because Dun Morgh took too long as Elwyn is strategic and beautiful atmosphere.

Who cares? Not like anyone wants to play a human.
Teldrassil starts at level 5. So does Azure Myst isle. So does Dun Morogh. So on and so forth.
The small starter areas are 1-5.
Elwyn Forest is not a starting zone.

You can do all the starting zone quests at level 1, this includes the 2nd town in dwarf / gnome starting area, etc for all the starting areas except for elwynn, northshire is the ending point in elwynn for a level 1. If that made sense.
OH.
Thats a questline thing. That has nothing to do with scaling.
Mobs and quest both scale to level 1 throughout the whole zone of every starting area, such as Dun Morogh, Teldrassil etc, except for Elwynn, mobs don’t scale same as quest when you leave norhshire. It’s the only one, thats what I’m saying.
When I read scaling I was thinking of models and wondering what a full scale Elwynn would look like.
So much stuff is buggy, Shadowlands is gonna be the same way.
I don’t know who Alex is o.O
