Abaeboda's Night Elf 1-12 Guide

Introduction

This guide is made for FAST leveling through the use of Optimized Quest Circuits. With this guide, questing will be very efficient and you'll not waste any second running around and trying to figure out in which order to do your quests. Follow each instruction carefully and you will see for yourself. The quest choices and order to do them are optimal so that you run as few as possible while doing the most possible, turning several quests at the same time. It will be like grinding, because you'll be killing stuff almost non-stop, besides you'll also be completing a bunch of quests at the same time!

Everything described in this guide can be done solo (beside when I say otherwise). You can, of course, follow this guide while duoing, grouping, it's not a problem, it works too.

DISCLAIMER:
This guide does NOT take into account tradeskills, class specific quests or PvP. It's 100% focused on getting the most experience possible in the shortest possible time while doing a lot of quests and enjoying as much content as possible. Any race/class combination can do this guide. Any complaints about PvP, tradeskills, or class specific issues will be ignored.


Basic rules

* Spend your talent points so that you kill things as fast as possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, etc.

* Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide unless I say otherwise. Only group with someone when it's not gonna be a waste of time (e.g: meeting the person at the other end of the zone to show him the way to where your quest is, that is a waste of time)

* Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.


Useful Addons

To get the most out of my guide, you should get an addon which displays coordinates, because I use them to describe locations in my guide (x,y). You can use any addon you like, but here's a very simple one I use.

Recommended

DMiniCoords- A simple box which displays coordinates, left-click it to move it where you like.

Optional
Below is a list of other addons I use, this is 100% optional though, it's mostly for people who are curious to know which addons I use:

*Bartender4 - A great action bar addon.

*X-Perl UnitFrames - Very nice, highly customizable unit frames.

*Quartz - The best casting bar addon out there, imo.

*Scrolling Combat Text - I just don't like the default UI Floating Combat Text.

Side Note: In case you don't know how to install add-ons, simply download an addon from one of the links above and unzip it. Then drag the unzipped folder in your Addon folder (full path is c:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\Interface\\Addons). Then, restart World of Warcraft and it should be working.

If it isn't working, you might need to log out to your character selection screen and click on "Addons" in the lower-left corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Re-launch WoW.

And this is where the guide ends! I personally suggest Joan's 13-20 Alliance Leveling Guide.

-Kostada

Please note this is a reformatted version of Taralom's Night Elf guide. I found that the formatting in that was somewhat confusing, and turn-ins etc. were off some. All credit goes to him.

Also, all props go to Jame for the introduction and for how the guide is set up.

Boston's 1-12 Dun Morogh Leveling Guide (Dwarf/Gnome)

Dun Morogh 1-12



I tried my best to make a guide for the Dwarf and Gnome starting area (other races can come here too of course) for level 1-12. This guide is focused on questing rather than grinding, though some parts you may be asked to grind. Before we begin, it is a very good idea to download a couple of mods I frequently refer to in this guide:
  • Titan Panel: Great mod that allows you to keep track of your inventory, money, and experience easily. It also shows (X,Y) coordinates that are frequently used in this guide.

  • Cartographer: Awesome map mod that has a lot of cool features, particularly, a fully explored world map that is very helpful for everyone, especially beginners.

  • Quest Level: Simple mod that shows the level of a quest in your quest log.
I'm going to take this part from Jame's guide because he does a good job of explaining it:
In case you don't know how to install add-ons, make a folder called Interface in your World of Warcraft directory (if it doesn't exist already). Then you open it and create a folder called Addons inside the Interface folder (if it doesn't exist already). Now every Addon you want to install goes directly into the Addon folder. For example you download and unzip Titan Panel, you drag the folder called TITAN PANEL (not Interface or Addons) into the new Addon folder you created. You restart World of Warcraft completely and it should be working.
If it isn't you might need to log out to your login screen and click on "Addons" in the left lower corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Relaunch WoW.

A few notes.

  1. At level 10 (or 12 for Paladin) you get a class quest. This is usually very important, if not necessary, and I recommend you do it. However, any race besides a Dwarf and Gnome must go back to their starting area in order to receive their class quests as they will not be available to them in Dun Morogh.
  2. It is VERY helpful to get bags as soon as possible. Try to get a few of the 6 slots from the vendors or get some from the Auction House. Tailors can also make bags. Just try to get some pretty soon because they are extremely valuable.
  3. Always spend your talent points in what will give you the most dps (Warriors should go Fury/Arms, Priests should go Shadow, Paladins should go retribution/dps holy, etc.).
  4. Whenever you log out, try to log out in an inn because this gives you rested experience and makes it twice as easy to level!
  5. To save you the trouble, take any quest you see because we will be doing all of them, including the follow-ups (don't take the ones in Loch Modan when you get to that part, just get the ones I tell you to).
  6. I don't recommend following this guide if you are not a Dwarf or Gnome (especially if you are a Druid or Shaman because there is no class trainer for those in Dun Morogh) because it's best to get honored with your home first. There are also a couple of quests only available to a Dwarf or Gnome in this guide.

    Here's a little color code for you:

    • Purple: Names of NPC's
    • Red: Names of Mobs
    • Teal: Areas (towns, cities, etc.)
    • Blue: Quests
    • Orange: Items
    • Green: Coordinates
    • Black: Starting of a new session/important Notes/levels
  7. All these things will be colored so they're easy to spot and also bold.

    Before we begin, go kill a couple of wolves and loot the items they drop. Head back to the little camp you started in and sell the stuff. This should get you 10 copper. Go to your class trainer in Anvilmar which is a little west. Buy your level 1 skill and let's begin.

    Level 1

    I'm not going to put a map for this part because it's so easy a caveman could do it Eye. Just grind on wolves and troggs around until you hit level 2.

    Level 2


    1. Go back to the camp that you started at and sell your stuff you got from your kills. Get the quest [1] Dwarven Outfitters from Sten Stoutarm.

    3. Head back to Sten Stoutarm and turn in your quest. Get the follow ups [1] Consecrated Rune (quest name varies between classes) and [3] Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery. Also get [2] A New Threat from Balir Frosthammer and sell your junk. Note that [1] Consecrated Rune (or however it’s named, depending on your class) IS considered a class quest and only available to Dwarves and Gnomes. However, it’s not important and can be skipped.

    4. Head south and kill any troggs you find here. Stay here until you get 6 Rockjaw Troggs, 6 Burly Rockjaw Troggs, and hit Level 3. Return to Balir Frosthammer and turn in your quest.

    Level 3


    1. While you're here sell your stuff. Now follow the road west and a little north until you come to Anvilmar (28,69). Turn in your quest to you class trainer, then get the quest [3] A Refugee's Quandry from Felix Whindlebolt, a little gnome by the forge. Note: Get the quest [4] Beginnings from your trainer if you are a Warlock. This quest is a class quest so you must return to your starting area to complete it if you are a Warlock because this quest is very important.

    2. Leave and follow the road west. Keep going until you find Tallin Keeneye at (22,71). Turn in your quest and get the follow up [4] Coldridge Mail Delivery and also [3] The Boar Hunter. From now on kill any boar you see until you get 12 kills.

    3. Head south following the road until you come to another camp with a couple of dwarves there (24,75). Turn in your quest to Grelin Whitebeard and get the follow up [4] The Troll Cave. Don’t get the other quest from Nori Pridedrift just yet.

    6. Head southeast a bit until you reach yet another troll camp (26,79). Get Felix's Bucket of Bolts then go between the 3 camps until you get 14 troll kills. If you haven't gotten 12 boar kills yet, do that as well (a little north of the first troll camp). Now grind on boars, troggs, and trolls until you're Level 4 (if you haven't leveled yet) and at least 7 bars into Level 4.

    Level 4


    1. Head back to Tallin Keeneye at (22,71) and turn in your quest.

    2. Follow the road southeast to the other camp and turn in your quest [4] The Troll Cave and get the follow up [5] The Stolen Journal. Get the quest [5] Scalding Mornbrew Delivery from Nori Pridedrift.

    3. Head back to Anvilmar, sell your junk, visit your class trainer, and turn in your quest to Felix Whindlebolt. Also turn in [5] Scalding Mornbrew Delivery to Durnan Farcutter and get the follow up [5] Bring Back the Mug.

    4. Return to Nori Pridedrift at the southwestern dwarf camp and turn in the quest. This should make you level.

    Level 5


    1. Head slightly southeast until you come to the troll cave (26,79). Enter this and clear your way until you come to a fork with 3 tunnels. Take the northern passage (or the one on your left) and clear your way until you come to another fork. Keep heading straight and you'll come to a large room with a frozen pond in the middle. At the eastern corner of this room you'll see Grik'nir The Cold. Kill him and loot Grelin Whitebeard's Journal. Now grind on trolls until you are 16.5 bars into Level 5 and 3.5 bars away from Level 6.

    2. Head back to Grelin Whitebeard at the dwarf camp and turn in your quest. This should make you level.

    3. A little to your left you'll see a cave. Inside there are troggs that hit like wussies. You can choose to clear these all, or run straight through them to the other side. You won't die if you run through so you should to save time, these guys won't give you much experience anyway. Now that your on the other side follow the road north and east.

    4. Keep following this road until you come to the town of Kharanos (46,53). As soon as you enter, you should see Senir Whitebeard standing next to some caravans. Turn in your quest to him and continue north to the inn (big building on the right). Get the quest, [7] Beer Basted Boar Ribs from Ragnar Thunderbrew outside the inn. Go inside the inn and turn in your quest to Tannok Frosthammer. Also talk to Innkeeper Belm and set your Hearthstone here (turn in [4] In Favor of the Light if you are a Priest and get the follow up).

    4. Leave Ironforge and go to Brewnall Village and turn in the quests [7] Return to Marleth, [8] A Favor for Evershine, and [9] The Perfect Stout. This should bring you up to about 13.5 bars.

    5. Head north to Gnomeregan and grind on the Leper Gnomes until you hit Level 10.

    Level 10


    Now you should do your level 10 quest. From now on, you'll probably have more experience than it says in the guide because I used a paladin to write this guide. Just follow it as if you hadn't gotten the boost in experience from your level 10 quest, and if it says to grind to a certain amount and you already have enough you don't need to.

    1. Head back to Steelgrill's Depot and turn in the quest [8] Return to Bellowfiz. If you followed this guide and you're a Dwarf this will make you honored with Ironforge.

    2. Go back to Kharanos to visit class trainer, sell, and repair.

    3. Head north along the road, then southeast where it forks before the bridge. Keep following this road until you come to a fork where a dirt path leads north (62,54). Follow the path north to Amberstill Ranch and get the quest [11] Protecting the Herd from Rudra Amberstill.

    4. Head west around the mountain until you come to a dirt path leading up into the mountains (59,50). Head up this and you should see Vagash. Kill him and loot his fang then return to Rudra Amberstill for your reward.

    5. Get back on the road and continue east. Soon you will come to a road leading south into Gol'Bolar Quarry. Take it. Get the quests [11] The Public Servant from Senator Mehr Stonehallow and [9] Those Blasted Troggs! from Foreman Stonebrow. Head south into the actual quarry and start killing Rockjaw Skullthumpers until you finish [9] Those Blasted Troggs!. Now make your way to the eastern part of the quarry where you'll find a cave. Go inside and clear the troggs until you get 10 Rockjaw Bonesnapper kills. Now comes the not so fun part. This should bring you up to about half way. Now you need to grind to Level 11 and 6.5 bars into Level 11. You can stay here in the quarry, or go back to Gnomeregan. It's up to you as long as you level.

    Level 11


    1. Head back up to the dwarves above the quarry and turn in both of your quests (by the way this should make you honored with Gnomeregan if you're a Dwarf and followed this guide). Now leave and get back on the road.

    2. Follow the road east until you come to a fork. Take the Northeastern road and you'll soon come to North Gate Outpost. Get the quest [10] The Lost Pilot from Pilot Hammerfoot. Head northwest a bit until you come to a dirt path on the west side of the road. You should see A Dwarven Corpse on the ground (79,36). Right click it, turn in the quest, and get the follow up [11] A Pilot's Revenge. A white bear will spawn a little up the hill named Mangeclaw. Kill it and loot the claw. Return to Pilot Hammerfoot for your reward.

    3. Leave the way you came and go back to Dun Morogh. Head back to the fork and this time take the southeastern route until you come to South Gate Outpost (86,48). You should see Mountaineer Barleybrew. Turn in your quest and get the follow up [10] Stout to Kadrell. Continue east along the road until you come to a tunnel. Follow that through.


    4. This will bring you to Loch Modan. Follow the road until you get to a 3 way fork. Head down the southwest road and go to the outpost on the side of the road. Get the quest [12] In Defense of the King's Lands from Mountaineer Cobbleflint. Head inside the outpost and get the quest [12] The Trogg Threat from Captain Rugelfuss. Go back outside and to the fork. This time take the northern road. Keep following this main road and you’ll be in the town of Thelsamar soon. Once you get to Thelsamar find Mountaineer Kadrell. Turn in the quest [10] Stout to Kadrell. Go inside the inn and set your Hearthstone here. Head to the most eastern house of the town and get the quest [10] Honor Students from Brock Stoneseeker. Go to the western side of the town and get the flight path from Thorgrum Borrelson. Turn in your quest to him and get the follow up [10] Ride to Ironforge. Fly to Ironforge.


    5. Head to the northern side of the circular area you are in. You should see a marker on your minimap. Turn in your quest to Golnir Bouldertoe and get the follow up [10] Gryth Thurden. Go back to the Gryphon Master and turn in the quest. Get the follow up [10] Return to Brock

    6. Leave Ironforge and head south to the frozen river. Now head south west in between the two mountains until you come to 2 caves on either side of you. Head up the hill to the western one and get the quest [12] Tundra MacGrann's Stolen Stash. Now head east to the other cave where you'll see a level 11 elite yeti inside. Wait for it to leave and go somewhere else then go in the cave and right click the chest on the ground and get the meats. Return to Tundra MacGrann and turn in your quest. This should make you level.

    Level 12

    Head back to Kharanos and visit class trainer, sell, and repair.

    End of 1-12.

Spizzy's leveling guide 1-12 (Dun Morogh Starting area)

This guide incorporates a lot of grinding and also a lot of questing, i tried to write it like Jame's guide but I'm a lazy ass so it wont be nearly as good, this may not be the fastest way to level but its rather good and it allows you to let someone else do the thinking for you so you don't have to worry about what quests to do next.
Basic Rules
1. While traveling you should try and kill everything on the way, i usually cant be assed because i usually catch up later at the grind sessions but it can help a lot some times so i recommend it.
2. Spec into dps or grinding talents after level 10, so you can do more damage Smiling
3. Only take quests i tell you to, unless you really want to get the reward but rewards aren't so needed at low levels
4. If you are having a break for longer then an hour or two make sure you log out in an inn because you get rested exp which is basically double exp while grinding which is completely awesome.
Some addons you might want
While leveling i only use 2 addons, that is meta map and titan panel, these two addons are completely awesome, and i don't need any others. i recommend you use them too
Link for Metamap click here (if you don't like this link go on Google and type in metamap download and look around)
Link for Titanpanel click here(same for this link, if you don't like it have a look around on Google)

Level 1
First of all you will start off in Coldridge valley, only if you are a dwarf or gnome though of course.
To start with just go out onto the flat of snow behind where you start off and start killing wolfs until you are Level 2
Level 2
Now go back to the little market by where you start and sell all the junk in your bags (mainly grey items, and just stuff you don't need)
Now go back onto the flat and start killing wolves and also kill some troggs until you reach level 3, this may seem boring but it is entirely worth it.
Level 3
Once again go and sell all your junk and head back into the wilderness, Yep another grinding session, boring once more, but good exp.this time instead of grinding wolves, as they are becoming a bit low for you, just grind on the troggs around a trashed camp, its on the map in between the two roads at (26,72). Grind here till level 4.
Level 4
Right, go into anvilmar, just north of where you were grinding, its like some barracks looking thing with a forge in the middle, sell your stuff and visit your class trainer. Now, its time for some questing! go back to the market which you start off at and get the quest "Dwarven Outfitters" and go kill wolves until you have all 8 tough wolf meat. after that hand in the quest, get the two follow ups. "Coldridge valley mail delivery" and the class quest, the name depends on what class you are. Talk to the man standing next to this guy, and get the quest. " A new Threat" go out and kill more troggs till this is done and you are halfway through level 4. Hand in.
Go back into anvilmar sell and repair, hand in your class quest and get the quest from Felix Whindlebolt "A refugee's Quandry"
Head out of Anvilmar and go west till you get to a small tent, with Talin Keeneye standing just inside it. hand in "Coldridge valley mail delivery" and get the follow up. Also get his quest "The boar hunter" and go kill boars till you have completed it, i dinged on exactly the twelfth boar i killed. if you haven't dinged by now just grind these boars till you are level 5.
Level 5
Hand in "The boar hunter" and and follow the path south to another little campsite. Hand in "Coldridge valley mail delivery" now, get the quest, "The troll cave" but don't get the quest "Scalding mornbrew delivery" yet, its a timed quest in which we will do later. Run directly west until you come to a camp filled with trolls, kill about 5 of them to make your way to Felix's box. Loot it and run south and a bit east till you come to another camp with more trolls. Kill about 5 again and loot Felix's chest. There is usually a battered chest in one of these camps, if there is loot it and take what ever you want, to use or sell.
Now run east to yet another camp, don't worry this is the last one, kill the trolls and loot Felix's bucket of bolts. Now for some more grinding, either go into the cave and kill trolls, or kill them in the camps, either way find a way to get level 6 without doing any quests.
Level 6
Hand in " The troll cave" Quest and get the follow up. Now get the quest " Scalding Mornbrew delivery" and run to anvilmar. Hand in the quest and get the follow up. While your here get your new spells and sell your junk. Also hand in the quest "A refugee's quandry"
Now head back to the camp just north of the troll cave and hand in "Return the mug"
Go into the troll cave make your way to the deepest part and look for grek'nir the cold. He is easily solo able so just kill him and loot Grelin Whitebeard's Journal.
Hand this quest in, get the follow up, then grind till level 7, which for me was only about 7 bars.
Level 7
Go back to anvilmar and sell your stuff, buy some food and drink if you must, depending on your class and if you really need it or not.
Exit anvilmar and run east up the mountain hand in the quest " Senir's Observation" and get the follow up. Talk to hands springsprocket and get his quest too, "Supplies to Tannok".
Head into the cave and run all the way through, don't bother killing the troggs in the cave, they don't do much damage and are not very good exp. on the other side, just follow the path to kharanos.
When you get there hand in the quest at senir whitebeard and get the quest "The frostmane hold" off of him as well.Get the quest "Beer Basted Boar ribs" from the man outside the inn. Then go into the inn, make it your home and hand in the quest "Supplies to Tannok" at the innkeeper's assistant, Tannok.
Leave the inn and talk to Tharek Blackstone and get his quest " Tools For Steelgrill" go northeast of Kharanos to Steelgrill's Depot, Hand in the quest and get all the others, These are:
"Stocking jetstream"
"Grizzled Den"
"Ammo for rumbleshot"
Go east from here and look for a small house inside a hill, get the quest from the gnome called Razzle Sprysprocket, the quest is called. "Operation Recombobulation"
Now we are going to complete "Stocking Jetstream" "Beer basted boar ribs" and "Ammo for Rumbleshot" all in one go, head back into kharanos and run south west, jump down the mountain and start killing bears and boars on your way to the little camp you should be able to see just in front of you. Once there loot Rumbleshots ammo, and start killing boars and bears till level 8 and you have finished "Stocking Jetstream" and have enough ribs for "Beer basted boar ribs"
Level 8
Head over to the camp where Hegnar Rumbleshot is at, (40,65) hand in the quest then run back to kharanos.
Get your spells and buy a rhapsody malt from the innkeeper, hand in"Beer Basted Boar Ribs" then run to Steelgrill's depot and hand in the quest and get the follow up "Evershine". Now go to the grizzled den, its just west of kahranos, just down the hill. Kill wendigos till you have 8 wendigo manes and are about 6 bars off level 9. (This is a good grind spot, if you want you cant grind here to level 9, but i'm not going to for the fairness of the other lazy people who follow this guide Smiling )
Now head over to Brewnall Village, its in the western end of Dun Morogh next to the frozen lake.
On the way there you should kill ALL monsters getting you to around 1 or 2 bars away from level 9, or if not you can catch up later. Once at Brewnall village hand in "Evershine" and get the follow up. While your here, sell and repair and also get the quests "The Perfect Stout" and " Bitter rivals."
Go out into the wilderness and kill enough boars, bears and leopards to finish off "A favor for Evershine" You should now be a few bars into level 9.
Level 9
keep killing these monsters until you are about 5 bars into level 9, shouldn't take too long. i only had to grind about a bar.
Once done, head north towards the area outside Gnomeregan, don't go inside the real instance because there are level 20+ mobs inside. Kill the leper gnomes till you have 8 of each type of cog, after that grind these till 8 bars from level 10. Go south to the Frostmane hold, kill your way into and make your way through until you get the quest complete message, also make sure you have killed enough Headhunters for the quest. Once done grind till level 10
Level 10
hearthstone to Kharanos,Get your spells and hand in all the quests,get the follow up "the reports" from Senir. go to steelgrill's depot, hand in the quests there, hand in "Operation Recombobulation" too. go into the inn and buy some thunder ale from the innkeeper, go downstais and complete the quest on the man. He will leave the barrel unguarded and during that time you can swap the barrels round.
Run west then go up the hill to find a camp full of trolls, clear the camp ( this can be a bit tricky but if you are careful its possible.) loot all of the shimmerweed you can find, there is usually more then enough, if you still need more there is another camp just north of there on the other hill. once done run back to brewnall village. hand in "A favor for Evershine" get the follow up. Hand in "The perfect stout" and get the follow up. Turn in "Return to marleth" too. Head back to steelgrill's depot and hand in "return to bellowfiz" Once done head far east,
to a little camp just north of a quarry at (66,56). Get the 2 quests, and head south and kill all of the troggs, grind here till level 11.
Level 11
Hand in the quests.Head over to Ironforge and hand in the quest "the reports" you should do your level 10 class quest as well and then grind till level 12 at the quarry, or wherever you like. (If you are a paladin your class quest is at level 12, you miss some extra xp this level but gain some next.

Well thats the end of the guide, i hope you enjoyed it and it served you well.

Boston's 12-20 Alliance Leveling Guide (Westfall/Redridge)

12-20 Alliance Leveling Guide


I tried my best to make a guide for levels 12-20. This guide is focused on questing rather than grinding, though some parts you may be asked to grind. Before we begin, it is a very good idea to download a couple of mods I frequently refer to in this guide:

Titan Panel: Great mod that allows you to keep track of your inventory, money, and experience easily. It also shows (X,Y) coordinates that are frequently used in this guide.

Mozz's World Map: Cool mod that shows unexplored areas of the map.

Quest Level: Mod that shows the level of a quest.

I'm going to take this part from Jame's guide because he does a good job of explaining it:
In case you don't know how to install add-ons, make a folder called Interface in your World of Warcraft directory (if it doesn't exist already). Then you open it and create a folder called Addons inside the Interface folder (if it doesn't exist already). Now every Addon you want to install goes directly into the Addon folder. For example you download and unzip Titan Panel, you drag the folder called TITAN PANEL (not Interface or Addons) into the new Addon folder you created. You restart World of Warcraft completely and it should be working.
If it isn't you might need to log out to your login screen and click on "Addons" in the left lower corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Relaunch WoW.

Let me say this now, you NEED bags and fast. Don't gimp, if you find a cheap 10 slot at the Auction House buy it. It will pay off in the long run. Always spend your talent points in what will give you the most dps (Warriors should go Fury/Arms, Priests should go Shadow, Paladins should go retribution/dps holy, etc.). If you followed my previous guide, the grab every quest no longer applies. Do only the quests I tell you to. Also kill anything along the way (yellow preferable, but 3-4 levels under are fine too). This is a great substitute to grinding because it's less boring than just staying in one spot and killing. Don't waste time on finding a group to help you with a quest. Most everything in this guide is soloable and those that aren't are easy to replace in terms of experience. Also in the town of Stormwind it is slanted to the northwest but I talk about it as if it weren't slanted. So whenever you're in Stormwind and looking at the map, tilt your head to the left. That should do the trick.

Here's a little color code for you:

Purple: Names of NPC's
Red: Names of Mobs
Teal: Areas (towns, cities, etc.)
Blue: Quests
Orange: Items
Green: Coordinates
Black: Starting of a new session/important Notes/levels

All these things will be colored so they're easy to spot and also bold.

Level 12


If you followed my previous guide you should have the quest [10] Return to Brock (complete) and have your Hearthstone set to Stoutlager Inn, Thelsamar. If you didn't follow my last guide don't worry about the quest. Get to Ironforge then Dun Morogh. Head to the eastern end and through the southern tunnel all the way to Loch Modan.

While you should continue to kill mobs along the way, do not fight anything that is too hard for you. This place may be a little high. Anyway continue to follow the road until you get to Darkshire. Buy a Bottle of Moonshine from Barkeep Hann. Head up the hill to the eastern edge of town and get the flight path.

1. Head to the northern tower and turn in your quest to Gyran Stoutmantle. Get the follow up. Cut through the land and head directly west. Soon you'll come to Alexston Farmstead (38,55). You'll see a lot of harvest watchers but they are not our goal. Head to the southwestern edge of the field where the houses are. You need to kill Defias Pillagers and Defias Looters so start clearing. Make your way to the wrecked house a little south of the mill. Loot A Simple Compass from the chest next to the fireplace. Continue to clear the defias until you finish [14] The People's Militia.

2. Head back to Gyran Stoutmantle and turn in your quest. Get the follow up [17] The People's Militia.

3. Make your way southwest, then west of Moonbrook to Dermont's Place (38,70). Make your way southwest, clearing defias along the way (at this point I leveled. If you didn't then you're not killing enough monsters along the way. Continue on because you'll be killing more though.).

Level 18


1. At about (37,38) you can go east into the mountains. Follow this opening through and soon you'll come across Grimbooze Thunderbrew standing next to a tent (44,80). Get his quest [15] Thunderbrew Lager. Turn it in immediately. Now continue to grind on Defias Highwaymen, Defias Pathstalkers, and Defias Knuckledusters until you complete [17] The People's Militia.

2. We're going to be doing one more small session here before going back to Stormwind. Head back west out of the mountains and continue on to the shore. If you head slightly south, you'll come to the Westfall Lighthouse (29,86). There you'll find Captain Tealson. Get his 3 quests [16] Keeper of the Flame, [19] The Coast Isn't Clear, and [20] The Coastal Menace. Turn in [16] Keeper of the Flame immediately.

3. Swim to the shore and grind on murlocs there (35,86). Continue grinding until you come across Old Murk-Eye who patrols through the camps. When you find him, kill him and loot his scale. Then continue to kill murlocs until you have 7 Murloc Tidehunters and 7 Murloc Oracles.

4. Now you need to travel all the way to the north coast where we killed murlocs earlier to get eyes (34,21). Kill here until you get 7 Murloc Warrior kills.

5. Now head even further north until about (45,8 ). Here you will find Murloc Coastrunners. Kill here until you get 7 kills.

6. Head back to Captain Tealson and turn in your 2 quests, then hearth back to Sentinel Hill.

7. Head to the north tower and turn in your quest to Gyran Stoutmantle. Now fly to Stormwind.

Sell, repair, visit class trainer, etc. Now Head to Old Town and SI:7 at the southern end of it. Enter the building directly ahead of you when you go up the stairs. Once inside the main building, go up the stairs and take a left where you'll find Master Marthias Shaw. Turn in your quest to him. Get the follow up [18] The Defias Brotherhood. Go to the Cathedral Square, then to the northeastern house and turn in your quest to Baros Alexston. Make sure you have your Skin of Sweet Rum, Cask of Merlot, Bottle of Moonshine, and Keg of Thunderbrew Lager then fly to Redridge Mountains.

Cross the bridge and turn in your quest to Verner Osgood in front of the stable, do not get the follow ups. Go inside the town hall next to you and turn in the quest [14] Messenger to Stormwind to Magistrate Solomon. Get the follow up [14] Messenger to Westfall. Now go inside the inn and turn in [15] Dry Times to Barkeep Daniels. Now you should be about 3 bars away from Level 19, if not you need to kill more along the way. Fly back to Westfall.


1. Go to the northern guard tower and turn in both of your quests to Gyran Stoutmantle. Get both follow ups [14] Messenger to Westfall and [18] The Defias Brotherhood.

2. Now start to make your way to Moonbrook, southwest of Sentinel's Hill (45,69). On your way down there, ask in general chat if anyone has seen the Defias Messenger. If you're lucky, someone will tell you if they've seen him or killed him recently. If no one responds or if he's been killed, continue to Moonbrook. He spawns at the eastern end of the town and patrols all around Westfall so looking for him would take long. Once you see him, kill him and loot A Mysterious Message.

3. Return to Gyran Stoutmantle and turn in your quest. (At this point I leveled. If you didn't, don't worry. Just do this next quest and if you still don't level, go grind on gnolls in the south). If you turn around you'll see The Defias Traitor with a quest (if he's not there, then someone is already escorting him so wait a minute for him to come back). Get his quest [18G2] The Defias Brotherhood. You need to escort this guy all the way to Moonbrook, but unlike most escort quests this guy runs. Now he's now Scandinavian athlete, but it's a lot better than walking. Once you get the complete message, return to Gyran Stoutmantle.

4. Turn in your quest to Gyran Stoutmantle and this should make you level if you haven't already. Get the follow up [22+] The Defias Brotherhood which is the main quest for the instance The Deadmines. Now head inside the tower and make your way to the very top. Get the quest [17+] Red Silk Bandanas from Scout Riell.

Level 19


Now you have a choice to find a group for The Deadmines, which you most definetly should, or grind your way to Level 20. If you followed my guide you should have all the quests for The Deadmines so that will be a great xp boost if you complete all of them (two of which are actually out front of the instance in an undead area, [18+] Collecting Memories and [20+] Oh, Brother..., so share those and try to convince your group to finish them as well). The Deadmines is also a great source of experience and loot and it's a lot funner than just grinding. But if you still choose to grind, go to the southern shore (30,80) and grind on the Shore Crawlers there. These guys are easy and are neutral, so you don't have to worry about more than one pull (watch for Old Murk-Eye for he patrols here and also watch your AoE attacks). Either way, this should make you level. Grats on Level 20.

End of 12-20. Stay tuned for 20-30.

Caelestis's Alliance Leveling Guide 12-20

Caelestis’s Alliance Leveling Guide

Level 12-20

Introduction

This guide will focus on optimised questing. There will of course be some grinding but that is usually because this guide will let you visit a city every 2 level. Sometimes I also recommend that you grind in the end of the level (especially between every 2 level) this is because you’ll need new talents every now and then, so when you are at a boring grind session just remember that there is most likely a very xp given session around the corner

I’ve chosen to follow the same layout as Jame simply because it works (and overall, it helps people reading the guides if they all resembles each other).

Mods
Mods are pretty essential if you want to find places and track your xp/hour. I would recommend the following mod:

TitanBar – It got both logs and an xp/hour tracker

Dwarfs and Gnomes) Do the main quests in Dun Morogh, when done grind your way to level 12 (which is best done by killing Troggs). If you don’t like grinding then go to Ironforge, take the Tram (remember to do the rat quest, and take the follow up) and head for Stormwind. Upon arrival you should head for Goldshire where there should be plenty of quests.

Humans) Basiclly the same strategy as with Dwarfs and Gnomes, only this time you start in Elwynn Forrest (so you’ll just have to inverse the route). When you’re done with the quests in Elwynn you can choose to grind your way to 12 by killing the Gnolls in the southwest part of Elwynn or you can go to Stormwind, take the tram to Ironforge and then complete most of the quests in Dun Morogh.


Night Elfs
) Night elfs is a bit more complicated as if they want to visit the other races starting zones it will have a lot of travelling involved. Night Elfs should be doing the quests in Teldrassil, when done, grind Bloodfeather harpies in northwest Teldrassil. You could travel to Dun Morogh as you will eventualy end up there no matter what (if you follow this guide, that is). Go to Darnassus, go through the portal in the middle of the city, take the boat or fly to Darkshore, take the other boat to Menethil Harbor and run from Menethil to Loch Modan (remember to take the Flight Paths) and then to Dun Morogh where you have plenty of quests at your disposal.

For a full guide about leveling in the Night Elf starting zone, I recommend Taralom's Night Elf 1-12 Guide http://www.wow-pro.com/node/960


Draeneis
) Draeneis should have a fairly easy time getting to level 12 as they got two zones to quest in. Do the quests on Azuremyst isle, which should guide you to Bloodmyst isle. It’s a good idea to do these quests as the rewards, compared to those of all the original alliance races, are superior in every sense. Another possibility is to go to Eastern Kingdom, where you’ll be going later, if you are to follow this guide that is. To do so just follow the explanation I’ve given in the Night Elfs part as the only difference is that the Draenei boat to Darkshore is located just south-west of the Exodar, and not in Teldrassil.

Level 12

You should be standing in Ironforge, if not, get there by using one of the descriptions above. In Ironforge go to Tinker’s Town and get the following quest

[15] Find Bingles

Make Ironforge your home(get its flight path if you're Human or Night Elf) and then go from Ironforge to Loch Modan. Either fly (if you have the FP) or run. If you decide to run, you should run out of Ironforge and run east until you meet a gate (South Gate Outpost). Run through the tunnel connecting Dun Morogh with Loch Modan and then go north until you reach Thelsamar. Take the flight path.

In Thelsamar, get the following quests:

  • [11] Thelsamar Blood Sausages
  • [11] Rat Catching
  • [15] Mountaineer Stormpike’s Task]

Then go south to Valley of Kings and get:
[]

  • [12] In Defense of the King’s Lands
  • [12] The Trogg Threat
    Then go north to log (26,58) killing every Spider, Bear or Boar you encounter on your way. When you arrive, slaughter the Troggs until you’ve completed [12] In Defense of the King’s Lands

    Move further to the north to log (28,45) and kill Tunnel Rats until you’ve completed [11] Rat Catching.

    Now go north to the north tower at log (28,18) and turn in [15] Mountaineer Stormpike’s Task get the follow up [14] Stormpike’s Order and [15] Filthy Paws. If you haven’t completed [11] Thelsamar Blood Sausages then go hunt for the creeps you need.

    When done, run back to Thelsamar and turn in the quests. Then head to the Valley of Kings and turn in the rest of the quests and get the follow up (be aware that the follow up is not given by the same NPC as before. Look inside the tower and you should find it). If you completed [12] The Trogg Threat turn that in as well, if you didn’t complete it, you sure will in the next step.

    That should make you ding 13 (or really close). If you didn’t ding start off the next passage by grinding the low level Troggs

    Level 13

    Now head north until you see a gap in the hills at log (28,65) Go through them and you should find yourself in a pretty Trogg crawled area. From here, go southeast to some hills that should crawl with Seers and Skullthumpers. When you’ve killed 10 of each and completed [12] The Trogg Threat, return to Valley of Kings and turn the quests in. Get the follow up [17] In Defense of the King’s Lands (located inside the tower) and run to Thelsamar. Repair and go north to Silver Stream Mine at log (35,18).

    Go inside the mine and look for boxes stacked together labelled miner’s gear. This might be a hard part, but it is doable. Use bandages between every fight (unless you can heal) to minimize your downtime as the tunnel rats have a rather high spawn rate. When you’ve completed [15] Filthy Paws go back to mountaineer Stormpike and turn it in

    You should be getting close to dinging 14, so go grind on either tunnel rats or Troggs… I’ll let you decide Smiling. When you are level 14 fly to Ironforge. Repair and learn new skills.

    Level 14

    When done go to Stormwind either by tram, or by taking a flight.

    In Stormwind, head for the dwarven district and turn in [14] Stormpike’s Order
    Go to the Cathedral and at the town hall (49,30), get the quest [15] Humble Beginnings from Baros Alexton. Make Stormwind your home.
    Go out of Stormwind and turn southeast until you reach Westfall

    Westfall:

    1) On the border of Westfall, just across the river, get the quests

    • [10] The Westfall Stew
    • [10] Report to Gryan Stoutmantle
    • [12] The Forgotten Heirloom
    • [14] Poor Old Blanchy
    Follow the road south and as it forks just keep running forward towards the house.

    2) At the house turn in [10] The Westfall Stew, get the follow up and get the following quests as well:

    • [12] Goretusk Liver Pie
    • [15] The Killing Fields

    3) Head towards the road and run south until you reach Sentinel Hill. Get the flight path and the following quests:

    • [15] Red Leather Bandanas from Scout Galiaan at the inn
    • [14] Patrolling Westfall from from Captain Danuvai at the tower
    • [12] The Peoples Militia from Gryan Stoutmantle

    And turn in [10] Report to Gryan Stoutmantle

    4) Go a bit west to log (44,46) and kill Goretusks and Fleshrippers until you got 3 Goretusk snouts, 3 Stringly Vulture Meat and 8 Goretusk livers

    5) Go north to The Molsen Farm at log (46,38).
    Kill 15 Defias Trappers and 15 Defias Smugglers
    Remember: if you find any Sack of Oats loot them

    6) If you haven’t found 8 Sack of Oats then go to Saldean’s Farm at the windmills and look for some Oats there.

    7) When done, go north to Furlbrow’s Pumpkin farm at log (50,21) killing every Harvest Watcher that passes your way. At the pumpkin farm kill every Defias in the area infront of the little house. Be careful not to aggro the mobs inside the house. This quest might be a bit hard as you have to kill a level 12 and a level 15 in order to loot Furlbrow’s pocket watch . It's doable, but if you're having problems ask if anybody wanna help you complete it. You can start killing the Harvest Watchers while looking.

    Cool Kill Harvest Watchers until you’ve completed the quest, got 5 Flasks of Oil and Hops, and 3 Okra

    9) Then go north until you encounter a gnoll camp at log (52,15). Clear the camp and go east to find some more Gnolls. Kill these until you:

    Find 8 Gnoll Paws
    Ding level 15

    Level 15

    10) Go north to Longshore at log (42,10). This place is crawling with murlocs, so kill them until you’ve collected 3 Murloc eyes

    11) When done, go back to the Farmer couple at the border of westfall and turn in all the quests.

    12) Then run to Saldean’s farm and turn in the quests.

    13) Finally, run to Sentinel Hill and turn in the last few quests. Get the follow up for [12] The Peoples Militia and the quest [18] The Defias Brotherhood. Phew, that was a long run….

    Sell and repair, and then head west to Alexton Farmestead at log (37,54). West of the barn there should be a burned down house. Inside this house there is a box, so clear the area around the building and loot the box for a Simple Compass

    Then go southwest to the Westfall Lighthouse at log (30,86)
    Get the quest [16] Keeper of the Flame from Captain Grayson and turn it in immediately (since you should have the 5 Flask of Oil. Then go east to the city of Moonbrook at log (43,69). This place should be crawling with Defias Pillagers and Defias Looters. So grind this place until the following requirements has been achieved:

    Kill 15 Defias Pillagers
    Kill 15 Defias Looters
    Get 15 Red Leather Bandanas (if you haven’t done the quest already)

    Ding level 16

    Note: if Moonbrook is crowded just go to Alextons Farmstead. The amount of Defias mobs available is a bit lower than in Moonbrook, but not if Moonbrook is crowded that is Eye

    Then go back to Sentinel Hill and turn in [14] The Peoples Militia and get the follow up

    Level 16

    From Sentinel Hill, go southeast to the bridge that leads to Duskwood. Go over it and stick to the road leading east. When you reach Darkshire, get the flightpath and go to the inn. Inside the inn, find the bartender and buy a Bottle of Moonshine and continue north by the road until you reach Redridge Mountains. On the border of Redridge you should meet Guard Parker. Get the quest [16] Encroaching Gnolls from him. Then go north by the road and you should soon after be in Lakeshire. Get the flight path and go to the inn across the river. Go to the first floor and talk with Wiley the Black. Complete [18] The Defias Brotherhood and get the follow up. Get the quest [18] The Price of Shoes as well. Run back to the flight master and take a flight to Westfall. In Westfall, go to Gryan Stoutmantle and complete [18] The Defias Brotherhood. Get the follow up and heart to Stormwind.

    In Stormwind go sell, repair, AH and learn new skills. When done, run to the Old Town district and in the southeastern part of the district you should find Mathias Shaw. Turn in [18] The Defias Brotherhood and get the follow up. Then go to Baros Alexton at the Cathedral Square and turn in [15] Humble Beginnings .

    Go to Ironforge either by the tram or by flight, make it your home, and then from Ironforge, fly to Loch Modan.
    When you arrive, run directly east from Thelsamar, swim across the lake and you should see Bingle standing with his crashed plane at log (64,48). Turn in [15] Find Bingles and get the follow up: [15] Bingles Missing Supplies. Then run southeast to the Farstrider Lodge at log (82,62) and get the following quests in the following order:

    • [15] Crocolisk hunting
    • [16] A Hunter’s Boast

    As soon as you’ve accepted the quest at timer will start. You now have 15 minutes to kill 6 Mountain buzzards. This isn’t too difficult. Run southwest to log (77,74) and kill Buzzards until you’ve completed the quest. Then run back to the lodge and turn in the quest and get the follow up.

    When you accept this a new timer showing 12 minutes will appear. Now, instead of running southwest as before, run northwest towards the place where you found Bingle. It should be pretty easy to find and slay 5 boars, and when done, run back to the lodge, complete the quest and run back to Bingle.

    Stand at Bingle and look at the lake. You should see 2 islands. One with trees on it another without. Go to the island without trees at log (55,54) and kill Crocolisks until you’ve completed [15] Crocolisk hunting. Then swim north to the two most northern islands in the lake. Start by clearing the camp on the small island at log (48,29) and loot Bingle’s Toolbucket for Bingle’s Wrench. Go to the western part of the big island at log (48,21); clear the camp and loot Bingle’s Screwdriver. Then go to the middle part of the island at log (52,24), clear the place and loot Bingle’s Hammer. Finally go to the most eastern part of the island and loot Bingle’s Blastencapper. You should grind this place until the following objectives are done:

    Kill 10 Bonesplitter Bonesnappers
    Kill 10 Bonesplitter Shamans
    Ding level 17

    Level 17

    Go north to Stonewrought Dam at log (47,13) and get the quest [18] A Dark Threat Looms then go east down the ramp and turn around. You should see two level 17 Dark Iron Sappers. Kill them and click on the suspicious barrel. Complete the quest and get the follow up. Go back to the middle of the Dam and complete the quest. Don’t get the follow up.

    Go back to Bingle and turn in [=Orange][15] Bingles Missing Supplies[/]. Then run to the lodge and turn in [15] Crocolisk hunting. Sell and Repair. Then head west to Ironbands Excavation Site at log (65,67). Get the following quests:

    [15] Excavaiton Progress Report
    [18] Gathering Idols


    The Troggs that drops the Idols are located inside the excavation site to east, so go in there and gather 8 Carved Stone Idols. Once done, turn it in and go to Thelsamar and turn in [15] Excavaiton Progress Report. Get the follow up. Go south to the Valley of Kings and turn in [=Orange][15] In Defense of the King’s Lands[/]. Do not get the follow up.

    Now you should be over halfway to level 18 so I recommend some grinding. So go back to the excavation site and kill Stonesplinters until you ding level 18.

    Level 18

    Warp to Ironforge, and go to the Hall of Explorers. Talk with Prospector Stormpike and complete the quest. Don’t get the follow up. Now go to Stormwind, train, repair and sell then head to the Trade District at log (52,67) and buy a Cask of Merlot. Then run to Goldshire and turn in the quest [18] The Price of Shoes ang get the follow up. Go to the inn and buy a Skin of Sweet Rum from the barkeeper. Then go to Westfall. In Westfall turn in the quest at Gryan Stoutmantle and get the follow up.

    The messenger is patrolling between Gold Coast Quarry and Moonbrook. Run to Gold Coast Quarry and run south by the road until you reach Moonbrook. If you encounter The Messenger on the way, kill him and loot him. If you do not encounter him then wait in Moonbrook until he spawns and then loot A Mysterious Message.

    Now run east to Dagger Hills at log (53,72) and kill the Defias in this area until you’ve completed [17] The Peoples Militia. Work your way up the hills heading south-west to log (44,80) and you'll see a dwarf. Get his quest and turn it in immediately since you got the 5 Hops. Go back to Sentinel Hill and turn in [17] The Peoples Militia and [18] The Defias Brotherhood. Then go to the defias traitor and get the follow up.

    Note: As soon as you accept this quest you will have to escort the traitor through Moonbrook. This isn’t hard, as the Traitor generally assist you on every mob you attack. The quest ends at the entrance to the Deadmines near the town square of Moonbrook

    When done, run west to the Westfall Lighthouse. Get the quests:

    • [19] The Coast isn’t Clear
    • [20] The Costal Menace
    The Murlocs can be found along the shore, so run back and forth until you’ve completed both quests. Old Murk-eye wanders around just east of the lightshouse

    Turn in both quests and head back to Sentinel Hill. Turn in the [18] The Defias Brotherhood, get the follow up and fly to Redridge Mountains

    In Redridge, get the following quests:

    • [14] Dry Times
    • [15] Hillarys Necklace
    • [15] Elmore’s Task
    • [15] A Free Lunch
    • [16] The Lost Tools
    • [18] Redridge Goulash
    • [21] Blackrock Menace
    • [21] Selling Fish
  • And turn in the following quests:

    [14] Dry Times
    [16] Encroaching Gnolls and get the follow up [17] Assesing the Threat
    [18] Return to Verner and get the two new quests: [20] A Baying of Gnolls and [18] Underbelly Scales

    From now on kill every Goretusk, Condor and Spider you meet in order to complete [18] Redridge Goulash

    1) Start by running south to the edge of Redridge at log (16,71). Here you should find Guard Parker. Turn in the quest and get the follow up.

    2) Run east to Lakeridge Highway at log (28,81) and kill 10 Mongrels and 6 Poachers.

    3) Then run north and kill Black Dragon Whelps until you’ve collected 6 Underbelly Whelp Scales.

    4) Go even further north and into the lake. Scout through it until you find a crashed boat and a box next to it at log (42,55). Dive down, carefully avoiding the murlocs, and loot Oslow’s Toolbox from the box

    5) Swim west to the other side of the bridge. Now look for what looks like a pile of mud labelled: Glinting Mud. When you find it loot Hilary’s Necklace.

    6) If you need any more goretusks then go east to log (16,54). Be carefull though, as Bellygrub (a level 24 mob) is roaming the area so try to pull the goretusks to you. (Thanks to Rothselm for this tip)

    7) Return to Lakeshire and turn in:

    [15] Visit the Herbalist
    , get the follow up and turn that in as well (in the Inn)
    [15] Hillarys Necklace
    [18] Underbelly Scales
    [17] Assesing the Threat
    [16] The Lost Tools
    and get the quest [20] The Everstill Bridge from him as well

    That should make you ding 19, or really close to.

    Level 19

    7) Go north from Lakeshire to Redridge Canyons at log (36,36). Kill Gnolls until you’ve:

    Killed 8 Redridge Mystics
    Killed 10 Redridge Brutes
    Collected 5 Iron Pikes
    Collected 5 Iron Rivets

    Cool Once done, run east to Alther’s mill at log (53,42) and kill as many Goretusks, Condors and Spirders you need in order to complete [18] Redridge Goulash.

    9) Then head south and jump down the cliffs killing every murloc you encounter on your way down.

    Swim west until you see a Murloc camp at log (41,45). Now kill these Murlocs until you’ve collected 10 Spotted Sunfish and 8 Murloc Fins.

    Note: If the place is crowded you can go to log (48,70), there should be plenty of Murlocs there.

    10) Then go back to Lakeshire and turn in:

    [21] Selling Fish.
    [18] Redridge Goulash
    [20] The Everstill Bridge
    [20] A Baying of Gnolls


    You should be level 20 by now (if not, grind on Gnolls).

    When you’re level 20, return to Lakeshire and get the quest [20] Murloc Poachers and instantly turn it in.

    And this concludes my guide. You can still level on and if you decide to do so, I recommend that you go to the Deadmines (you got the main quest, and the other quests are pretty easy to get). You can follow Jame’s Deadmines guide for information and tactics for the various boss encounters the instance has to offer.

    I hope you enjoyed reading my guide, and I would love if you would leave some kind of feedback

    Joan’s 13-20 Alliance Leveling Guide (Darkshore/Westfall)

    Joan’s Alliance Leveling Guide Chapter 2 – Alliance level 13-20

    Introduction:

    This guide starts at level 13. So if you want to play up a character you may follow my guide for 1-12 witch in practice takes you to 13.

    I wont take the quests that’s specific for the class, but I recommend you to do them. They are most often worth the trouble.

    I won’t say “sell and repair” or “visit the class trainer” just do it when you think it’s proper, but try to keep them when you are in the area of a vendor or a trainer.

    I don’t say this is the fastest or even a fast way to do it (even if I think it is..) but it’s a way to level between 13-20.

    Many people may think the travel is a waist of time but consider that you have to do the travel at some point this may be it .

    • Level
    • Location
    • Quest
    • NCP’s
    • Items / Mobs

    Recommendations:

    When I’ve done this guide I’ve used the add on “Titan panel” witch is very useful and I recommend you to use it.

    Titan panel: It’s a very useful addon with may different features. But it’s mostly because I sometimes use locations in my guide with coordinates (x,y), and the panel shows them. But it’s also shows you a lot of other things. Download the lates version here.

    Chapter 2

    Level 13

    Time to travel to Westfall! When you have crossed the bridge in to Westfall there is two farmers standing along the road. Take the following quests:

    • [10] Report to Gryan Stoutmantle
    • [10] Westfall Stew
    • [14] Poor Old Blanchy
    Then follow the road until it splits in two, leave the road and go to the farm ahead, but do not go into the fields! When you get close, keep an eye out for Sack of Oats and if you find any pick it up.
    At the farm turn in [10] Westfall Stew and take the quests:
    • [12] Goretusk Liver Pie
    • [13] Westfall Stew
    • [15] The Killing Fields
    When that done, move on to Sentinel Hill. Remember to take the flight path. Once that’s done, turn in [10] Report to Gryan Stoutmantle . And take the quests as follow:
    • [12] The People’s Militia
    • [14] Patrolling Westfall
    • [15] Red Leather Bandanas (just beside the inn.)
    Empty you bags, buy food and drink, then it’s time to move out. There is a lot of places where you may find Defias Trapper and Defias Smuggler, but I find the best spots just around the village.

    Start killing them to finish of

    • [12] The People’s Militia
    • [15] Red Leather Bandanas
    • [14] Poor Old Blanchy if you can but there is no need just try.
    When you are done, turn in [15] Red Leather Bandanas and [12] The People’s Militia , and take the follow up. When that is done you should be well over level 14.

    Level 14

    Time to travel, fly to Stormwind, and there put in your quest items in the bank to save bag space. After that:
    In short: Travel to Darkshore.
    In detail: First to Ironforge, then to Loch Modan and after that to Wetlands. From Wetlands take the boat over to Darkshore.
    Remember to take the flight paths in all the areas you pass.

    When you get to Auberdine make it your home. Take the flight path and then collect the following quests:

    • [10] Buzzbox 827 (over the inn)
    • [12] Bashal’ Aran
    • [12] Tools of the Highborne
    • [13] Washed ashore
    • [14] How Big a Threat?
    • [14] Plagued Lands
    • [16] For Love Eternal (on the bridge)
    Empty your bags and buy some food and water.

    2. Head to the beach just outside the village to the north. Kill Pygmy Tide Crawler until you find 6 Crawler Leg. Go along the beach until you find Beached Sea Creature, you may have passed it but just go back then. And if you find any Murloc Eye it’s a bonus so just save them until later.

    3. Head over to Bashal’ Aran and up the cliff to Asterion. Turn in the quest and take the follow up [12] Bashal’ Aran . Then start killing the Vile Sprite and Wild Grell[/] until you find 8 Grell Earring. When you are done, turn the quest in and take the follow up. Now you need to kill Deth’ ryll Satyr and find Ancieit Moonstone Seal, it can be in any one of them so just look around. Turn in the quest and take the follow up. If you haven’t dinged level 15, this is a good grinding spot so just grind up to 15.

    Level 15

    Go out in the forest and capture a Rabid Thistle Bear with your trap. Then head back to Auberdine. Turn in the quests and take the follow ups:

    • [16] Cleansing of the Infected
    • [14] Washed Ashore
    • [12] Buzzbox 411

    On the image is the buzzbox.

    Empty your bags and head out again. Now is a good time to walk in the forest to get some extra xp, but if you don’t want to you just have to do some grinding later on or have rest bonus.

    How ever, head to Ameth’ Aran, but on the way… Walk in to one of the camps with Blackwood’s, so that you complete [14] How Big a Threat? . Then start walking on the road until you comes to Ameth’ Aran. Once there just follow the road a few steps until you find a guard that gives you

    • [12] The Fall of Ameth’ Aran
    Start at the most south point of Amath’ Aran and walk in, killing ghosts. Walk up to the flames witch looks like on the picture.

    Then look after the first stone plate, just a little bit away from the flames to the southeast. Keep an eye out for the ghost Anaya Dawnunner. Move over to the second plate and take it. Then just kill ghost and Anaya Dawnunner until the following quests is done.

    • [12] Bashal’ Aran
    • [12] Tools of the Highborne
    • [16] For Love Eternal
    • [12] The Fall of Ameth’ Aran

    • [14] How Big a Threat?
    • [15] Thundris Windweaver
    Then go to Thundris Windweaver and turn in the quest and take the follow up;
    • [15] The Cliffspring River
    Empty your bags and it’s time to do circle 2.

    1. Go to the camp where you find Blackwood’s and kill them until the quest is completed.

    2. Go out to loc (31,46) where you find Skeletal Sea Turtle and from it you get Sea Turtle Remains.

    3. Go back to Auberdine and turn in [13] Washed ashore .

    4. Then just go north in the water and start killing Darkshore Thresher until you have completed [12] Buzzbox 411 .

    5. Head to loc (41,31) and take the quest from the Beached Sea Creature. In the water you will find more Murlocs to kill utnill you have found 3 Murloc Eye. Then go to the Buzzbox just a bit further up along the beach.

    Take the follow up;

    • [14] Buzzbox 323
    6. Go to Bashal’ Aran and turn in that quest at Asterion.

    7. Go out in the woods and start killing Rabid Thistle Bears and Moonstalkers until [16] Cleansing of the Infected and [14] Buzzbox 323 is done.

    8. Go to the next Buzzbox at loc (51,24) and turn in the quest don’t take the follow up.

    9. Then just jump down in the river next to a waterfall and fill your little glass to the quest [15] The Cliffspring River .

    By now you should be well over level 16, if you are not it’s time to grind until you ding and maybe a bit more to be on track.

    10. Warp back to Auberdine if it is up, other wise just run.

    Level 16

    Turn in all the completed quests. Take the boat back to the Wetlands and flight back to Westfall. This is a good time to do a pit stop in Stormwind to learn new abilities and check AH. Remember to take out what you did put in on the bank.

    1. Empty your bags and move out.

    2. Go southeast and kill all Goretusk you can find as well as all birds, until you have done;

    • [12] Goretusk Liver Pie
    • [13] Westfall Stew (the part with the Stringy Vulture Meat and Goretusk Snout, you should have Murloc Eye from Darkshire, and the okra will come as well.)
    3. Go more south and start killing Riverpaw’s until [14] Patrolling Westfall is completed.

    4. Head over to Moonbrook and start killing the Defias for [color=#009900][14] The People’s Militia[/]. You can go to the farm that is marked on the map above, there you can find Defies as well.

    Level 17

    5. When you are done heart back to Sentinell Hill if you can. Turn in the quests there and take the follow ups.

    • [17] The People’s Militia
    • [18] The Defias Brotherhood

    1. Move out again. It’s time to kill Harvest Watchers until you have completed;

    • [13] Westfall Stew
    • [15] The Killing Fields
    Remember to save the Okra and Oil.

    2. Go and turn in [14] Poor Old Blanchy to Verna Furlbrow.

    3. Go to the next farm and turn in

    • [13] Westfall Stew
    • [15] The Killing Fields
    • [12] Goretusk Liver Pie
    4. Now move over to the path in the mountains and start killing the Defias there to [17] The People’s Militia. Just move along the path until you are on the other side. By then you should have completed the quest.

    5. Move out to the coast and over to the lightning house and take the following quests;

    • [16] Keeper of The Flame
    • [19] The Coast Isn’t Clear
    • [20] The Coastal Menace
    Then you just have to turn in [16] Keeper of The Flame .

    6. Then just move along the beach and kill what you have to kill until [19] The Coast Isn’t Clear , (you have to move a long way to the north to complete it). When you are in the south of the beach, keep an eye out for Old Murk-Eye. By now you should have dinged level 18, if you haven’t just grind something on the beach.

    Level 18

    7. When they are completed go back to the lightning house and turn the quest in.

    Run back to Sentinell Hill, turn in [17] The People’s Militia and take the follow up, [18] The Defias Brotherhood . Now is a good time to take a trip to Stormwind, otherwise warp to Darkshore.

    1. Collect the following quests;

    • [17] Cave Mushrooms
    • [18] Tharnarium’s Hope
    • [18] The Tower of Alhalaxx
    • [17] Fruit of the Sea
    2. It’s time to move out again. First of, some killing of big bears. Go up to the small cave just next to the big Blackwood camp. In it there are some small bears in levels around 10. And then there is the big one, witch you need to kill. Try to take out some of the small ones before pulling the big one. It can be a bit tricky but everyone can do it.

    3. Swim over the river and up to the second cave and kill the mobs so that you can pick the mushrooms so that you complete [17] Cave Mushrooms . If you can’t do it by yourself there are most often someone that can help you out.

    5. Follow the road and turn in the quest [18] The Tower of Alhalaxx and take the follow up.

    6. Go up to the tower and start killing the humans there until [18] The Tower of Alhalaxx[/] [/b] is completed. Go back and turn it in, don’t take the follow up.

    7. Go out to the beach and kill the crabs, you will find Beached Sea Turtle, take the quest it gives. Keep killing Crabs until [17] Fruit of the Sea is done.

    8. Warp back to Auberdine and turn in the quests. You should ding level 19 if you haven’t already.

    Level 19

    Now you have to make a choice because now is a really good time to do The Deadmies, otherwise you have to grind your way up to level 20, or do quests on your own because I strongly advice you to do The Deadmines. It’s a good experience to know how your character works in a instance and work in a team.

    If you choose to do The Deadmines then there is some legwork to do. First of, take yourself to Stormwind and from there to Lakshire in Redridge Mountains. There, take the flight path and find the person you need to talk to, to complete [18] The Defias Brotherhood , (he is in the second floor of the inn.) Take the follow up and fly back to Stormwind. Go to Old District. Turn in the quest and get the follow up. Then go over toDwarven District and take the following quests;

    • [18] Collecting Memories (a dwarf in the inn.)
    • [20] Oh, Brother… (a dwarf in the inn.)
    • [20] Underground Assault (A gnome on the street.)
    Then head over to Westfall and Sentinell Hill. Turn in [18] The Defias Brotherhood . Then, you are suppose to kill the Defias Messeger. He walks along the coast way in Westfall and respans in Moonbrook. Just walk along the road up to the mine and back again and you should find him, otherwise wait in Moonbrook until you find him there. Then head back to Sentinell Hill and turn the quest in.

    Then at the foot of the tower there stands one or two mans. If it is just one, you have to wait until the second one appears. He gives you an escort quest that you should take and escort him to Moonbrook. Then go back again. Turn in the quest and take the last follow up.

    Just one more quest to collect, and it's an easy one. At the top of the tower and take the quest.

    Now I suggest that you use Jame’s Deadmines guide witch you find here.

    Level 20

    When you are done in The Deadmines, and have turned in the quest you completed you should be well over level 20, and here ends this guide.

    I hope you have enjoyed it.

    Poker's Alliance leveling guide - Chapter I (Westfall)

    I decided to pick up this guide at Level 12, because from Level 1-11 you can spend your time levelling in Elwynn Forest (Goldshire, Eastvale, and the areas south of Stormwind and Northshire), Dun Murogh (Ironforge and Kharanos), and Teldrassil (Dolanaar, Starbreeze) all dependent on your race. If you've yet to choose your race, I'd suggest going with either Human, Dwarf or Gnome, just because the Night Elves have their homeland on the continent of Kalimdor, which is quite a hike from the Eastern Kingdoms, where this guide takes place.


    Pre-Westfall

    If you're around level 10 or 11, and want to get up one or two levels easily before entering Westfall, or even get a quick head start on it, I would recommend going to another race's second city. Dwarves and Gnomes, I would recommend going to Goldshire, south of Stormwind, simply because it is closest to Westfall, Night Elves can take their pick at either Kharanos or Goldshire. Kharanos takes up more time than Goldshire, but there are more rewarding quests, including two elite quests. If you're a Human, Kharanos is your best bet less travel time.

    Westfall

    For those uninformed, Westfall is located to the west of Stormwind City and Goldshire. If you're confused as to how you get there, if you're a Human, when you finish questing in Elwynn, you'll receive a quest which will direct you there, straight down the road from Goldshire. If you're a Dwarf or a Gnome, head to Ironforge and into Tinker Town, where you can take the tram to Stormwind. From there, head south until you reach Goldshire, and then west until you cross a bridge into Westfall. For those Night Elves out there, your route is more complex and it is much more difficult. You need to fly to Darkshore, and from where the Hypogryph drops you off, you need to head west, up the dock until you hit an intersection. Take a left here, and run up to the end of the dock, where a boat will soon arrive. From there, you must take the boat, and you will soon arrive in Menethil Harbor; this location is very important for those who want to go between the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. From there, you need to leave the city, and then continue down the road to the east, and stay on it until you reach Dun Algaz. The route from there is simple, head west to the North Gate Pass, and continue heading that way until you reach Ironforge. From there, follow the route for Dwarves and Gnomes.

    When you first enter Westfall, you'll notice that there's a broken down wagon and a couple of glum looking individuals standing in front of it, each of them is a questgiver. Walk towards them and take on the quests [10] Westfall Stew, [12] The Forgotten Heirloom and [14] Poor Old Blanchy.

    Run south, and head to the Saldean Farm (56,31). You can turn in [10] Westfall Stew, and get the follow-up. Pick up the quests [12] Goretusk Liver Pie and [15] The Killing Fields.

    When you're running from one destination to another, be sure to kill anything you encounter along the way. They can drop quest items for Westfall Stew and Goretusk Liver Pie, and can net you some experience while you travel.

    Head to Sentinel Hill, where you can find Questgivers which will give you the quests [10] A Swift Message, [12] The People's Militia, [14] Patrolling Westfall and [15] Red Leather Bandanas.

    First off, we're going to want to head to the Wind Rider Master, Thor. Speak with him, and you can complete the quest, [10] A Swift Message, pick up the follow up, and then fly to Stormwind City.

    When you arrive in Stormwind, head down the stairs of from the Flight Master towards the trade district. If you have enough money, pick up Flask of Oil x 5 (only if you have the money, they drop in Westfall, and if you're lazy, this is the simplest route), and then head towards the Old Town section of Stormwind. Here, you'll find Osric Strang, a Heavy Armor Merchant, and the next part of your quest. Turn in [10] Continue to Stormwind and get the follow up. While you're here, repair, and get the food and drinks that you need, now continue to the griffin master, turn in the quest, and then accept the follow up.

    Fly back to Westfall, and turn in [10] Return to Lewis. From here, head to the Molsen's Farm (46,39), and get some easy kills off of the Defias there, to gather a total of 15 Red Leather Bandanas. While at Molsen's, you can pick up two Oats at (46,38) and (45,35).

    Head to 55,20, and kill off some of the Young Goretusks which you meet. Once you've gathered 8 Goretusk Livers, head to the Saldean Farm and turn in [12] Goretusk Liver Pie. Return to Sentinel Hill and turn in [15] Red Leather Bandanas. If by now you have 5 Flasks of Oil, head southwest, past Moonbrook, and towards the Westfall Lighthouse (southwest corner of the map), where you can accept the quest [16] Keeper of the Flame, and then turn it in for 1150 XP. Get the quest [19] The Coast Isn't Clear, and run along the beaches outside of the lighthouse, killing Murlocs to pick up some experience and to help you complete the quest. If an item called Captain Sander's Treasure Map drops, pick it up and read it to begin a chain of quests; note the map drops only off of the Murlocs. When you finish the quest, turn it in.

    If you do pick up the Map, then you can start a quest which will get you some easy experience and some pretty valuable items at a low level. You can locate the Footlocker for the first part of the quest at 25,47, and then pick up the next part of the chain. The next part of the quest leads you to 40,47, where you have to locate a Broken Barrel, next to a chimney. The next part of the chain takes you to 40,17, where there is a jug next to a log. The last piece that you need to find for the treasure hunt is at 25,16; for completing this quest you receive an 8 slot bag, 1 Silver Bar, Captain Sander's Sash and Captain Sander's Shirt.

    Now, head to Furlbow's Pumpkin Patch, where you can kill some Harvest Watchers (try and kill as many as you can, as you need 20 for your quest), and afterwards head to (49,19), where you can look in a Wardrobe for Furlbow's Heirloom. The quests from here on out shouldn't be too complicated for you, on the Pumpkin Patch, head to (49,21) and (50,18), and get the Oats at each location. Kill as many Harvest Watchers as you have the patience to, and then head to the Saldean's Farm, where there are more Watchers for you to kill (if you need any more).

    At the Saldean's Farm, go to the locations (56,31), (52,34) and (52,32), where you can pick up even more Oats. By now, if you should have finished the quest [10] Westfall Stew, as well as the quests [15] The Killing Fields and [12] Goretusk Liver Pie. Turn in all three of those quests, and then head west to the Jangolode Mine.

    At the Jangolode Mine, and begin to kill the Defias Trappers and Defias Smugglers, until you've killed a total of 15 of each. Once that much has been accomplished, head back north up the road, and then turn in the quests [12] The Forgotten Heirloom and [14] Poor Old Blanchy. Now, return to Sentinel Hill, and turn in the quest [12] The People's Militia, and then pick up the follow up, as well as [18] The Defias Brotherhood.

    Make sure your hearthstone is set to Sentinel Hill, and then head to Redridge (if you have the Flight Path, if not, head to Stormwind, and then run east to Redridge Mountains, and to Lakeshire). The man you're looking for is in the inn, turn in the quest and get the follow up. Now fly back to Sentinel Hill, and speak with Gryan again, grab the follow up, and head to Stormwind. There, you can turn in a quest in Old Town to Master Mathias Shaw, pick up the follow up.

    While you're here, you can get several quest for the instance The Deadmines. I'm not going to cover the Deadmines in this guide, but I'll tell you where you can get the quests, and I'll recommend that you run it several times, as it is a great way to level and completing these quests will make your path all the more better.

    You can get the quest [15] Speak with Shoni in Ironforge, in Tinker Town on the other side of the tram. Afterwards, you can return to the Dwarven District, speak with Shoni the Silent, and get the quest [20] Underground Assault. When entering the Dwarven District from Old Town, on your right is a building containing a Questgiver who gives you the quest [20] Oh Brother . . .. The final quest is in the upper left corner of the Dwarven District, the quest is [18] Collecting Memories.

    When done in Stormwind hearth back to Sentinel Hill. Turn in the quest, and get the final follow up.

    Head to Moonbrook, and begin to agro the Defias on the outskirts of town. You may need to bring along a partner to complete this quest, but it's possible to solo this, and isn't very complex to do so if you're careful. In the center of town, the Defias Messenger will spawn every minute or two. Head back to Sentinel Hill and turn in the two quests, and grab the follow up [22] The Defias Brotherhood, as well as [17] Red Silk Bandanas, which can be received from a woman at the top of the tower on Sentinel Hill. From here you can either head to Redridge and start on the quests there, or you can run the Deadmines, my recommendation is to do the latter, and use the Deadmines as a way to level and upgrade your gear, as well as complete the aforementioned quests.


    This is the first part of my guide, which I'll continue to add to and update. If someone has anything to add or request, please do so. If you think I did a good job or did a bad job, please list some things I can improve on I'll be adding pictures as I follow this guide with a new alternate.

    This guide is certified for use only on World of Warcraft Pro, so please don't take it (that is, if anyone would want to take it).

    Boston's Alliance Leveling Guide (20-30)

    Changelog

    This is the second version of this guide. It has been revamped to adapt to patch 3.1 changes. Here are the improvements that have been made:

    • The guide's layout has been modified to look even more like Jame's Guides.
    • Section names have been changed.
    • Maps have been edited and some maps have been removed.
    • Boat path changes have been made.
    • Minor spelling errors and other errors have been removed.
    • Recommended addons have been changed to newer versions.
    • Table of Contents have been removed.
    Introduction

    This is a detailed, in depth guide on leveling an Alliance character from level 20 to level 30. It is focused on questing rather than grinding, though some parts you may be asked to grind. Other guides such as Maw's Alliance Leveling Guide 12-20 or Boston's 12-20 Alliance Leveling Guide will lead into this guide, and are recommended to use before this one. It will otherwise be difficult to begin using this guide, and you will at times find yourself without the right quests at a certain time.
    This guide will lead into Jame’s Alliance Leveling Guides and those will bring you all the way to level 77.


    Basic Rules
    • Spend your talent points so that you kill things as fast as possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, etc.)

    • Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide unless I say otherwise. Only group with someone when it's not gonna be a waste of time (e.g: meeting the person at the other end of the zone to show him the way to where your quest is, that is a waste of time)

    • Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.

    • When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.


    Useful Addons

    To get the most out of my guide, you should get an addon which displays coordinates, because I use them to describe locations in my guide (x,y). You can use any addon you like, but here's a very simple one I use.

    Recommended

    • DMiniCoords - A simple box which displays coordinates, left-click it to move it where you like.

    Optional

    Below is a list of other addons I use, this is 100% optional though, it's mostly for people who are curious to know which addons I use:

    Side Note: In case you don't know how to install add-ons, simply download an addon from one of the links above and unzip it. Then drag the unziped folder in your Addon folder (full path is c:\\Program Files\\World of Warcraft\\Interface\\Addons). Then, restart World of Warcraft and it should be working.

    If it isn't working, you might need to log out to your character selection screen and click on "Addons" in the lower-left corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Re-launch WoW.

    This is taken directly from Jame's Horde Leveling Guide - Chapter II (31-41), thanks Jame.

    The Guide

    Level 20a

    First you’ll need to get to the city of Stormwind. If you don’t have the flight path here get it. Do what you need to here (train, sell, etc.) and leave the town through the south gate when you’re ready. Follow the road until you get to Goldshire. Once here, head down the eastern road. Keep going until you come to a tower on the left side of the road (64,68). Go inside and get the quest [21] A Watchful Eye from Theocritus at the top. Head back to the road and continue east until you come to Redridge Mountains.

    Keep going and you’ll come to the town Lakeshire. Get the flight path in front of the bridge. Cross the bridge and get the quest [18] The Price of Shoes from Verner Osgood.

    Fly to Stormwind and head to Goldshire again. Turn in your quest to Smith Argus. Get the follow-up and return to Stormwind. Then fly to Lakeshire.

    If you have done [16] The Lost Tools, skip this next paragraph. If you haven’t, pick it up from Foreman Oslow. Head east to Lake Everstill. About in the middle you’ll find the Sunken Chest at the bottom (41,54). Look out for Lake Thresher, a level 25 elite Loch Ness Monster looking thing. Loot Oslow's Toolbox then turn it back in to Foreman Oslow.

    Cross the bridge and get the following quests:

    • [21] Blackrock Menace from Marshall Marris
    • [20] The Everstill Bridge from Foreman Oslow
    • [18] Underbelly Scales from Verner Osgood (becomes the follow-up after turning in your current quest to him)
    • [20] A Baying of Gnolls from Verner Osgood
    • [21] Selling Fish from Dockmaster Baren
    • [20] Murloc Poachers from Dockmaster Baren
    Go to the inn and make it your home location.


    Level 20b

    ==NOTE== From now on kill any Black Dragon Whelp you come across.

    1. Head east out of town to the lake. You’ll immediately come across a murloc camp (40,45). Murlocs are all around this area in the water. Kill them until you complete [21] Selling Fish and [20] Murloc Poachers.

    2. Head north along the road until you see a dirt path on your left leading to a gnoll camp (38,32). Kill these guys until you finish [20] A Baying of Gnolls and [20] The Everstill Bridge. You can also head northwest into the mountains for more to kill (in fact you may need to for more mystics).

    3. Head back to the road and follow it northeast to Render’s Camp at (44,18). Since we can’t go further into the camp because of the higher levels, we’re going to do a triangle between three spots until we finish [18] Underbelly Scales and [21] Blackrock Menace.

    Elro's level 30-40 anti-STV guide, part A

    Level 30-40 guide (without Stranglethorn Vale)
    Part A, level 30-35

    Scroll down to view explanatory annotated maps.

    I’ve seen a few guides for the 30s, all of which require heavy involvement in Stranglethorn Vale. For me personally, and based on the comments I’ve heard in guild/general chat, STV is one of the least enjoyable areas in the game. This detest of STV seems fairly universal..

    After leveling my 1st character to 60, I decided with my 2nd that I would NOT visit STV for ANY REASON while leveling up the next one. Assuming that many people also felt the same way I wrote this guide to clearly explain how to go from level 30 to 40 as quickly as possible with a combination of quests, and as little grinding as possible. By level 30, most people are ready for their mount and the enjoyable quest threads seem like they are drying out.

    I truly hope this guide will help you have a lot more fun between level 30 and 40. If you have any suggestions for modifications, feel free to email me at . If I change anything based on your suggestion I’ll give you credit, so include your in game toon’s name and what server you play on!

    Last but not least. I have not said “turn in _____ quest” every time you return to the camp/inn. If you have a quest to turn in and you are standing near the person to turn it in to, then turn it in.

    So with that, we’re off.

    Initial instructions:

    When possible, empty your bags and repair your armor. We try not to return to villages/cities very often, so every time you are there you should do this.

    When running along, you can skip the random mobs you pass. If you want to pause and kill any that are green or yellow, you are welcome to. This can both make things a little more interesting while running longer distances, and speed up your leveling a bit. Personally once I got to running somewhere I usually just wanted to get there and didn’t stop to kill things along the way.

    Always log off in an inn or in a city where you are able to “rest”. I’m sure you all know already, but while your experience bar is blue you are gaining more experience from killing mobs because you are “rested”. The amount of rest you have increases while you are logged off in a city or an inn. You can tell you’re gaining rest because your picture in the upper left corner of the screen will have “zzz” where your current level usually is.

    For this guide I have assumed you are taking good advantage of rest experience. There were times while leveling that I was not getting bonus experience from being rested, but not very often. If you are playing 3-4 hours a day on an ongoing basis, you may have to grind here and there to level up. I have generally indicated where your level should be throughout this guide.

    Keep in mind that this guide was created on a PvE server. I have never leveled a character past level 20 on a PvP server. There will certainly be some allowances you will have to make if you are on a PvP server. I’ll try to flag the times that I think you’ll need to be careful but I may not hit them all. Feel free to let me know of any specific times in this guide that you had PvP trouble.

    While completing this guide I played a priest. I’ve leveled a Paladin up to 60, but no other classes. My assumption is that you shouldn’t have problems soloing everything in this guide regardless of what class you are. Please let me know if you find that to be incorrect.

    In many cases you will find yourself running along mountains. Usually I’ll say something like “follow the foothills” or “head north off the road after the hills”. This does NOT mean try to climb mountains or hills where it seems difficult. It means wait until it’s easy going and then follow the curve or line of the hills. I will never direct you to run up or into mountains/hills unless there is a specific path to follow. If you find yourself spending time trying to figure out where to “jump” to climb the hill, you probably aren’t in the place that I was trying to send you.

    Lastly, lets discuss the Auction House. I will direct you to visit the AH eventually, but you might want to start keeping an eye out for the following shopping list:

    • Potion of underwater breathing (1)
    • Several healing potions of the highest level you can use

    Assumptions:

    This guide assumes that you have reached level 30, trained for all your recent spells/talents, and that you have an empty quest log and small amount of gold. All safe assumptions. You are probably sitting in a major city, and you’ve probably completed such zones as Duskwood, Redridge, Wetlands and/or Darkshore.

    From several ingame surveys I took, I found that 71% of players level 30 or 31 and completed Duskwood. 57% of the same players had completed Redridge and Wetlands. However only 19% of players surveyed indicated they had completed any significant quests in Ashenvale. Given that, we will begin there.

    If you have already spent any significant time in Ashenvale, then it is possible that you will have completed some of the quests mentioned here. No guide can possibly cover all of the different ways a player could have advanced to level 30. So you’ll have to make due a bit in the early going. My suggestion if you have totally completed Ashenvale would be to visit Duskwood or one of the other zones mentioned above and complete any lingering quests there.

    First zone: Ashenvale

    STARTING AS LEVEL 30

    If you have not been here, then begin by arriving at Auberdine. If you haven’t been there, take the north boat from Menethil Harbor. After running the very long road south from Auberdine, the road will finally turn due east. Right there a smaller path breaks off south east. Run down here and pick up a few quests. Sentinel Melyria Frostshadow gives you The Howling Vale, and Illiyana gives you Vile Satyr! Dryads in Danger.

    As you reach Auberdine, start picking up quests. From Raene Wolfrunner at the inn you get Raene’s cleansing and Culling the Threat. Shindrell Swiftfire gives you the Kayneth Stillwind quest. Set your hearthstone to here in Astraanar.

    Phase 1

    To start off we’ll do the 1st Raene’s cleansing quest. I know, this quest is grey to you… Turn around and run west and go back towards Maestra’s Post. After you turn north and before you get to the post, head due west just along the foothills of the mountains. Curve south as you can and you’ll come to the lake with a little island in the middle (point 1). Get onto the island and click on Teronis’ body and then accept the follow up quest. Only 150 exp for finding Teronis’ body. )Do not kill any murlocs till you click on the body and get the next quest.) Then have to find the gem. You have to kill the murlocs for the random drop, and they are all grey to me. No exp. Took me about 4-5 min. to get the gem to drop. This is the start of a long quest chain, so that’s why we are wasting the 10 minutes or so to complete this quest.

    After getting the Glowing Gem, run back towards Astranaar but we’ll pause to kill Dal Bloodclaw on the way. Run north up the dotted path just west of Astranaar. Bear to the right and kill the Thistlefur mobs as you go while working your way up to the village pictured on the map. Dal is usually in one of these two small camps (point 2). Type “/target dal” (without the quotation marks) to find him. He looks like most of the others and he does walk around a bit. Just keep an eye on where he is so he doesn’t add and surprise you. This should be very easy. Once done, run back to Astranaar. Kill any green mobs you meet on your way.

    PvP note: Horde has a quest to kill the Thistlefur mobs. This is a place you might run into trouble.

    Back in Astranaar, visit Raene Wolfrunner and turn in the two quests. Culling the Threat from killing Dal, and the first Raene’s Cleansing quests with the journal and the gem from Teronis. Now you get the quest to kill the foulwealds (An Aggressive Defense) as well as the next Raene’s Cleansing quest.

    Phase 2

    After getting new quests, run southeast down to Mystral Lake and find Sentinel Velene Starstrike. She is in the building in the middle of the north coast of the lake (point 1). She does NOT have the yellow ! above her head, but she will give you a quest (elemental bracers) and it IS green. The water elementals are to the right of the building or straight through to the little island. They are also under the water. Levels 23 and 24 (all green to you at this point). Slow drop rate, but easy mobs to kill. After getting the 5 intact elemental bracers, right click on the scroll in your inventory. Then return to Velene.

    NOTE: The elementals drop several types of bracers. You need the “intact elemental bracers”. Most of the other bracers they drop are vendor trash. Go ahead and get the 2nd quest from Velene, though we don’t complete it in this guide. If you are passing through the barrens at some point you may want to complete it. I do not currently have quests in the barrens in this guide though I may modify that later.

    Now head northeast towards the road. Before you get there you’ll find the Greenpaw Village with the Foulwealds (point 2). You will NOT complete this quest the first time through here. There are not enough of the mobs for you to complete it. Kill everything hear before moving on.

    PvP note: Horde has a quest to kill the Foulwealds mobs as well. This is a place you might run into trouble.

    Now head east on the main road which will curve southeast and then northeast again. You’ll be running past two horde bases. If you are on a PvP server this is one of those times that you’ll need to be extra careful. I can say that I rarely encountered horde players in this area, but they do have a few quest givers around here so be cautious.

    When running past Splintertree Post there are high level guards on BOTH sides of the road though, so keep your eyes pealed. When passing Satyrnaar just stay to right of road and you should be fine. Shortly after Satyrnaar the hills to your left (north) will open up. Run due north and you’ll find Forest Song and Kayneth Stillwind (point 3). Turn in quest and get Forsaken Disease.

    After getting Forsaken Disease, go west to Xavian. It’s VERY close. Don’t fall down the hill into the horde camp Saturnaar. Also watch out for the bears/spiders. Level 27-29 but very close together. Can easily get 2-4 on you at one time. This is one of those places where it’s not a bad idea to clear the mobs as you go. Just avoids dying due to wandering beasts.

    Bear to the right (north) until you start killing xavians. These mobs are all 28-30. The Xavian Hellcallers can heal themselves 100% with no mana, so be aware of this. Also watch out for Prince Raze. He is a 32 elite, though not too hard. Same 100% heal with no mana spell. I soloed him as a 30 priest. Just don’t want him to add and surprise you.

    You’ll see Anilia on your minimap with the yellow dot to turn in a quest (point 4). There are 2 level 29 hellcallers are guarding Anilia that will pull together. Other than those every mob can be pulled on it’s own. Get the follow up quest from her, to kill Geltharis and get the branch from him. The path to Geltharis is right next to her going down the hill to the north. Geltharis is a 32 non elite with a 29 hellcaller. This was not very hard.

    After completing the Branch of Cenarius, we’re going to hearth back to Astranaar. You’ve got several quests to turn in. Remember to empty your bags and repair.

    Phase 3

    First step is to head back to Greenpaw Village and kill more Foulwealds (point 1). It’s possible you might complete this quest on your 2nd visit here, but I had to come here 3 times to do that. Don’t worry either way.

    After you’ve cleared this area again, go back to the road but keep heading due north. The path to Shael’dryn (next person for Raene’s Cleansing) is directly to the north of the Greenpaw Village, up in the foothills. If you run due north and bear just a bit to the right, you’ll find a path with the little elf lights. The path curves to the right and leads right to him (point 2).

    He’ll give you the follow up, which along with the Howling Vale gives us two reasons to make the slightly long run north towards Felwood. Leave Shael’dryn and head southwest. We’re going to make almost a complete circle going counterclockwise. You can stay in the wild and just follow the curve of the mountains, going to the left of the Raynewood Retreat picture on the map and then returning to the road.

    Start watching for the ents, which look like walking trees (point 3). Kill the ents until the key drops. There should be some on both sides of the road. It only took me 4 kills for the key to drop. Now we go find the chest.

    As you are heading northwest towards Felwood, the path will eventually curve due north, but exit the road and keep heading northwest. Go to left of the huge tree that will be in your way and bear left. You’ll find the chest to open sitting there (point 4). It’s easy and unguarded.

    Now double back towards the road, but this time bear to the right of the huge tree and start watching for the VERY small “path” going up the hill to your left. It leads up the hill and to a cave. You’ll find Shadow Weavers (level 29) in your way. Go through the cave and work your way down to the front of the building on the far side. The reading material should be on a table (point 5).

    I know there is a “short cut” to jump down to the building, however I advise against using it. If you die here it’s a LONG run back. So just take the extra few minutes to kill all the mobs as you walk down the hill and turn back to the building. After this, go back south and follow the curve of the mountains to the west, eventually curving back to the north to find Shael’dryn at the moonwell. Turn in his quest and get the next in Raene’s Cleansing. (By now you should be starting to appreciate why we did the first of her quests for almost no experience at the beginning!)

    Hearth or run back to Astranaar. Remember to empty your bags and repair.

    Phase 4

    Return to Melyria at the Shrine of Aessina (point 1). Turn in Howling Vale and get Velinde Starsong. You may never complete it, but go ahead and take it. Just past her is turn in for the Anilia/Branch of Cenarius quests. Turn it in and get Satyr Slaying. Return to Astraanar.

    Now head out towards the splintertree post. If you still need to finish the quest with the Foulwealds, do it now. Just before you get to the post there is a clearing on the right. Go that way (southeast). (Start killing rotting slimes right away.) Just ahead you’ll see a little camp of tents and tables (point 2). Be careful for the forsaken that are there in that some can stealth.

    On the table in the middle of their camp is the Bottle of Disease that you need. If you get in trouble with the forsaken, run to where one of the stealthed Ashenvale Outrunners is. They will help you fight. Kill the forsaken, loot the poison and continue killing slimes till one drops the rusty chest.

    NOTE: The chest is not a looted item. It will appear on top of the dead slime. Open it and get the Iron Pommel.

    After looting this, head back to Kayneth Stillwind in Forest Song, just past Satrynaar (point 3). Turn in forsaken diseases. Wait for him to go through his poisoning and survive, then get the next quest, Insane Druids. Now, lets go kill some Satyrs in Xavian (point 4). The satyr’s are great for grinding if you need to. They should be yellow (for good exp), but really easy to take down. That’s fortunate, because the drop rate isn’t too hot for the horns.

    OPTION: If you feel you are good at soloing and don’t mind a challenge, we’re going to do the Insane Druids quest right now. If you struggle a bit, you’ll want to visit your trainer first to ensure you have every advantage. If that’s the case, then after you get the 16 satyr horns, heart back to Astranaar and empty your bags. The head to Darnasus and visit your trainer. You also have the quest to turn in here and a few simple follow ups there.

    FYI. You should ding 32 by this point. If not, you are really cutting corners on mobs. Just killing the basic mobs to get to each quest should have you well into level 32 by now.

    If you did not return to Darnasus, continue reading from here. However… if you returned to Astranaar and trained up, then skip this section on the Insane Druid quest and save it for after the next section of Raene’s Cleansing. I suggest you do it now though as it will save you some mindless running later on.

    Insane Druids

    This is doable at level 31. Only Taneel is really hard as he heals himself repeatedly and well. The other 2 “bosses” were fairly easy.

    To get to the cave, go back to where you went to get the poison. Southeast from main road. Watch for path to left up the hill. If you enlarge your minimap you’ll see a small square structure. It’s the only structure in that area. It’s the entrance to a cave (point 5).

    It is very easy to get lost down here, so follow the directions carefully! From main entrance go down the winding passage. At the first fork go straight across bridge to find and kill Taneel Darkwood. Remember he’s the hard one.

    You may need a potion or two for this fight. It’s a long one because he heals himself, and seemed to be able to do that even without mana. If you can stun or heal yourself it's going to help you a lot. To kill him, first pull the mobs out of his room 1 by 1. Then take him alone. He’s neutral till you attack him, so that helps! I soloed him as a 32 priest without having visited my trainer since level 30.

    If you killed him, you’ve completed what is arguably the hardest part of this guide! If you have trouble, find someone nearby to group. There are usually several people running around in here. After he’s dead come back and go left down the hill. At the bottom it forks left/right. Bear left and then curve down to the right. Eventually it curves down to a final chamber where Uthil Mooncall is. Kill him.

    Go back a bit and follow the curve to the right (past where you turned left). You'll have a long winding passage with mobs to kill. At the bottom, bear left and go up the ramp. At the mid level platform go right. Clear the small room and go through the hall to the left. You’ll find the final boss, Mavoris Cloudsbreak here. Kill him as well.

    Retrace your steps carefully to leave. Return to Kayneth Stillwind (point 3) and then hearth back to Astraanar! Turn in quests, empty your bags and repair.

    Phase 5

    This is fairly quick and just involves a little bit of running around. First return to Shael’dryn (point 1). He’ll send you to the Hidden Shrine. It’s not that hard to find if you pay attention. Head southeast like we did when we went to the Howling Vale quest. However keep an eye on the mountains to the north. The second valley you come to in the mountains to the north is the one you want. You’ll find a small path that wraps up a hill and leads you to the Shrine (point 2). If you get to the Raynewood Retreat you’ve already missed it. Reconstruct the Rod and then return to Shael’dryn. He’ll send you back to Raene.

    Note: If you did not complete the Insane Druids quest in Phase 4, and instead visited the trainer, this is where you will complete it. Run all the way out towards the Splintertree Post and follow the directions at the end of Phase 4 (point 3). Go turn it in when completed or do it at the end of the next phase.

    Phase 6

    Lets finish up here in Ashenvale. You should have the next stage of Raene’s Cleansing where she tells you she’s not sure what you’re supposed to do. Run down to Mystral Lake, just southeast of there as the quest instructions tell you. I jumped in the lake, and exited on the east side. You could just run around it, either way. Where you come out you’ll see torches lining a path going uphill to the south. Follow the path. At the top of the path before the river, use the rod to turn yourself into a furlbog. Turn the quest into Krolg and get the next to kill Ran Bloodtooth (point 2). Go back down the path but bear right.

    If you see anyone else near the bloodtooth’s back here, ask to group. Ran only spawns every 5-6 minutes, so if someone else gets him first you have to just sit and wait (point 2). There aren’t very many guards to kill so you can’t really even grind while waiting. Ran is easy to kill, but will hang back and shoot at you so make sure you either have ranged weapons or you get down to where he is. Finish them, turn the quest back in to Krolg and you’re done. Hearth or back to Astraanar.

    Note: If you didn’t turn in the Insane Druids quest, then run back to Kayneth Stillwind now (point 3).

    The last segment of quests nets you about 6000 xp, a ring plus your choice of a 1H axe or 2H mace. You should ding 33 by now! We’re done with Ashenvale. If you haven’t already, now is the time to return to Darnasus to train and turn in miscellaneous quests. From there you’ll need to make a quick visit to IF to pick up a quest, but leave your hearthstone set at Astranaar so you can return quickly.

    From here we will be moving on to Desolace.

    First you will need to go back to IF and visit the Explorers league to get the quest leading you to Kreldig Ungor in Desolace. You can train up while here.

    You should be level 33 by the time you arrive at Nijel’s Point in Desolace. If not, head to Desolace anyway and just kill any green/yellow mobs you pass on the road. If you arrive outside Nijel’s Point and still aren’t level 33, then just do a bit of grinding on the animals in the area, all of which will be a good level for you.

    Now lets talk about travel to Desolace. My favorite way to get there is to be summoned! If you have a guild with some good people in it, look for 2 friends who are already in Desolace. If one is a warlock, look for 3 friends. Once you have 2 helpers, then in the game type “/who desolace” (no quotes) and look for a warlock. Message them and ask for a summons. I’ve had good success with this. You should always offer 1g just out of courtesy.

    If you have to run, make sure you’ve got 20-30 minutes. On the Ashenvale map, look for the Talondeep Pass cave in the mountains. The text “talondeep pass” is on the map next to the picture of a cave. Go there and run through the cave. The pass is long, but nothing dangerous. Neither is the Windshear Crag on the other side. Everything’s level 20 +/-.

    Since you’re here, run through to get the FP at the northwest end (might as well) and then continue on to Desolace. Stay on the path all the way to the north end. Getting the FP takes only an extra (9 minutes). You can skip it though if you want to. You’ll probably never need it. You’ll see a quest at the FP, but don’t bother.

    Once you come back to the Desolace fork you’ll run south through a bunch of 23-24 harpys in The Charred Vale. Just run straight through to the other side. A few harpys are green if you feel like killing them for exp. At the very end you’ll start finding level 27-28 mobs that you can kill on the way through as well.

    Desolace

    Once you enter desolace, bear left (east) along the foothills. You’ll find 31-33 mobs. Nothing you can’t handle. Eventually you’ll come to Nijel’s Point. You’ll see Greco-Roman pillars and a lighted path up the hill to the left. Take it and start grabbing quests. There is also a forge here if you want/need it.

    The inn is at the top/back of the Point. Set your hearthstone here. Pick up the FP which is to the left of the inn.

    Now lets start on the quests:

    First thing to know is that Brutal Politics and Strange Alliance cancel each other out. You will be doing Brutal Politics, so you can drop the other quest. The guy there will offer it to you forever, but just ignore it.

    Phase 1

    Note: This is a long phase. Make sure you are rested, repaired and have empty bags before setting out!

    Head west to the other side of the main road and find Malem Chest for Vahlerrial’s search (point 1). Complete the quest and get the next to go back to Nijel’s. There are several mobs here to kill.

    Now double back to the east of Nijel’s and kill the satyr’s you need for the Reagent quest. You have to kill a lot of Satyr’s here (point 2). It’s a good grinding spot as well. I’d clear the whole camp working back to the “temple” and then clear it again as you make your way out. That will be just about right for the drops. The mobs are well spaced and shouldn’t be too hard a fight.

    Head south west below the east/west road in between the 2 north/south roads to pick up quests for kodo bones from the graveyard (point 3). If the roads here look kind of like a huge letter H on the map, the point is just south of the cross of the H.

    Head south on the road to get the kodo roundup quest from Smeed (point 4). STAY ON THE ROAD to get here. The mobs in between are 36-38 and can agro in groups easily.

    Go to the kodo graveyard to the west and do the bone quest. While you’re at it, find dying, ancient or aged kodos and return 5 of them to Sneed. The kodo’s are easy enough to get. Once you return them you must right click on each to “inspect” it to get credit for turning it in. The 10 bones are harder to get but this is very doable. You just need to be careful to avoid the level 37-38 mobs. If you do grab agro from one, run away and return. It might take a couple minutes, but I did this without dying.

    When you loot the bones there seems to be a 50/50 chance that a Kodo Apparition spawns. They are level 37 +/-, but are very easy to run away from. As long as you pay attention this quest is very doable at this level, even though it’s red in your quest log. You can save it for much later if you want, but you’re here now so might as well. If you save it, we’ll return to desolace late in our 30s and you can do it then.

    Head southwest along the road carefully making your way through Mannoroc Coven. STAY ON THE ROAD! The mobs here are 37-38, but if you stay on the road you won’t agro any. Start killing the Gelkis that you will find after the pass (point 5). Kill them until you are friendly with the Magrum. You’ll need to kill 46 of them. The only thing hard about them is that they run when they get to low health. You will complete the Centaur Ears quest at the same time.

    Watch out for the level 35 earthcallers with the level 30 elementals. You don’t really want to fight them! You’ll know your about halfway there when you turn Unfriendly with the Gelkis. The Gelkis will stay neutral to you and not attack on sight the entire time you are doing this.

    Now head east, past Sneed and turn in the quest to the Magram and get the next phase, Kolkar. The Magram village is at the end of the road heading east, just leave the road and move southeast when the road curves sharply north. Find Warug, who is in the foothills at the northeast end of the lakes their village is situated around (point 6).

    The Kolkar are just north of the Magram (don’t run back to the road) so you should immediately complete this quest (point 7). If you stay close to the mountains on your right (as you head north) you’ll come to the southeast corner of the Kolkar village. Kill them as needed to complete the quest, but don’t go and turn this in yet.

    After the Kolkar, return to Bibbly and turn in Kodo Bones (point 3). After Bibbly, head due west on the main mid Desolace road which will bear northwest. The road kind of ends but continue that direction till you get to the tower. Bear to the right of the tower and get the scepter of light quest (point Cool. The treasure quest is picked up at the same place the chest for Karlito’s Treasure is. It’s a small boat on the beach southwest of the tower.

    Start killing the drysnaps (pincer or crawler) till they drop the silver key. They are south along the coast and in the water. The naga (north in water) have the gold key. I had to kill only 3 Drysnaps. Watch out for the Deepstrider Searcher just off the shore while doing this. He’s a 39 elite giant.

    Now is when you get to use the potion of underwater breathing. Most of the drysnaps can be killed from the shore. Once you enter the water for them (or for the nagas) use the potion. The drop can be slow (for nagas or drysnaps) so you might need to be down there a while. Took me 15 minutes to get both keys to drop.

    We’re done with this phase. Your bags should be bursting and your armor in need of repair! Hearth back to Nijel’s and turn in a ton of quests! Pick up the new quest from Brother Anton.

    If you did not ding 34 on that route, something is REALLY wrong! You should easily be half way to 35 by the time you finish turning in the quests.

    Phase 2

    Immediately upon leaving kill the scorpashi that hang out near Nijel’s. As you make your way back to Thunder Axe Fortress, kill any additional scorpashi that you find. It’s the big walled fortress at the top of the hill (point 1). There’s a smaller group that might be mistaken as the fortress next to it but a bit to the north. The fortress entrance is on the east side going up the hill.

    Immediately upon entering the gates of the Fortress, turn left. You need to clear your way up this watchtower and kill the Seer at the top. You can clear it as you climb. At the top there will be 2 guards outside the room. Pull the one going to the right around the top room, then double back around the other way to kill the one on the left.

    Use “/target burning blade seer” to make sure you are killing the right mob first when you enter the room. When the seer dies, loot him immediately so that the quest item is yours and then kill the 2nd mob. Should be able to kill both without dying but if you die, at least that quest is done. This is the scepter that you need for Scepter of Light.

    Now make your way into the main building, which is the large round building. There is a smaller round building that you will visit shortly. As long as you pull carefully you’ll pretty much just get 1 mob at a time. Occasionally 2. There is 1 patrol that circles the interior hallway of this building. Once you reach Vahlarriel she sends you to find her brother in the next building.

    He is now evil. Kill him and return to her. Again, this should be fairly easy if you pull carefully. Turn the quest into her and then escort her out of the fortress. The escort isn’t too bad, just try to stay a bit ahead of her. She’s level 35 and will fight with you so you should not have a problem completing this quest.

    When done, run out west to the tower and turn in the Scepter quest (point 2). Now it’s time for another long jog. You’re heading back to the Magram to turn in the Kolkar quest. Run south on the road that leads to the kodo graveyard. As you reach the graveyard you can enter, and move counterclockwise along the edge until you exit the east side. You should find 3 aged kodos to kill here for the quest. As you leave the graveyard you should find plenty of scorpashi to complete the reagents quest.

    Upon reaching the Magram (point 3), turn in the first quest and get the next to destroy 3 crystals in the Gelkis’ cave. This is fairly easy, just make the long run back to the Gelkis. You’ll see a rope bridge at the east end of their camp (point 4). Cross it to the cave. I found the crystals right at the front of the cave. Return to the Magram and turn this in. You’ll get a final quest to give this guy an Advanced Target Dummy. I wasn’t willing to buy one and am not an engineer. If you want to get one of these, just have it with you and turn it in. There’s no reward other than experience and I can’t imagine you get that much exp.

    Hearth back to Nijel’s Point, turn in quests and ding level 35.

    Note: While killing in/near Thunderaxe look for a drop that starts The Corrupter. The drop is called Flayed Demon Skin. It’s dropped by many of the Burning Blade npcs you kill, however it’s a very low percentage drop. I did not include this quest thread in my guide since I can’t be sure you’ll get that quest.

    This completes part A of Elro’s 30-40 anti-STV guide. Watch for part B soon. You can email comments or suggestions to .

    FinaL.FreeDoM's 1-60 Grinding Guide

    Hello all! I have read Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide and I have to say it is one of the best guides I have ever seen. I have yet to try it but I know it will be a very useful guide to anyone who wants to level fast. I too have also leveled very quickly. I used to believe grinding was more efficient than questing, until I read Jame's Alliance Guide. Questing really is the way to go, but you have to know exactly what you're doing, otherwise you will cost yourself hours, even days of downtime from finding where everything is, what mobs to kill, where to look for them, how to kill them, etc. This guide was written for the people who do not know the quests, but just do not have the patience to learn them and still want to level fast.

    But first, let me name some pros and cons of grinding, before you decide if this is really the way you want to level.

    Pros:

    1.) Good Experience. My highest rate of experience in grinding has been 35k/hour non-rested, on a druid in cat form. I do not know how fast questing can possibly give you, but this is still pretty damn good!

    2.) Easy. All you have to do is run around in a circle and kill mobs, and watch your mana and health, whereas questing you have to know where to go, where to find the best place to kill the mobs, etc. And because it is easy, you can solo all you want, without having to waste time on trying to find someone to help you, thus letting you level easier.

    3.) Money. You can get a lot of nice BoE's and vendor loot from places, and you can either vendor them for good amounts or sell them on the Auction House. Many places I will give you in this guide will give you good loot to sell on the Auction House.

    Cons:

    1.) Boring. Be warned. Grinding is painfully BORING!! Repeatedly killing the same mobs over and over again, running the same path over and over again for hours on end will get very old. If you want to grind, have some of your favorite music CD's playing so you have something to think about. If you do not think you can handle the boredom, then stop reading now and do not attempt grinding, or you will cause yourself even more downtime than questing, even if you do not know the quests.

    2.) Rewards. Questing gives you consistent rewards and reputation bonuses. Though some of the time grinding does give you nice world drops and reputation bonuses (I.E. Argent Dawn), the items you'll pick up from grinding will most likely be sold than you actually using them. Quests often let you choose your rewards, thus giving you things that you can actually use.

    3.) Efficiency. I used to firmly believe that questing was very inefficient. Nobody could ever prove me wrong. But then I stumbled upon Jame's Alliance Guide...and I was amazed at the level of detail that he put into his guide. It was then that I realized that questing is very efficient, more efficient than grinding, if you know what you are doing. But if you do not know quests very well, and want to get level 60 ASAP, grinding is still the way to go IMO. If you are in no rush to get to level 60, just learn the quests, it's a lot more fun. Once you know the quests very well, you will be a very fast leveler. One guy got level 60 in 4 days and 20 hours simply from questing. I do not think this is possible with grinding.

    4.) The game! If you wish to grind all the way to 60, also be warned that you will miss out on a lot of aspects of World of Warcraft. You will miss bits of storyline, some nice action scenes, challenges, and other stuff that Blizzard put much work into. If you are a first-time player, I recommend that you do not rush to level 60, and take it slower and enjoy everything WoW has to offer. Whether you want to rush to 60 is completely up to you, but this is what I recommend.

    With that out of the way, let's get started on the guide, shall we?

    Just a few things to remember when grinding.

    1. Get First Aid. This is a very useful skill with ALL classes, even those than can heal. Why use mana and cause more downtime when you can heal yourself for no mana? Many mobs I will set you up against will drop cloth, so you will not have to worry about using up all your cloth. If you run out of cloth, just pick up some food and drinks (if your class uses mana of course).

    2. Don't go AFK! This can create bad downtime. Obviously, you will not get optimal EXP if you go AFK for whatever reason. Keep your AFK times to a minimum.

    3. Watch your money. Use http://www.thottbot.com/ to check how much your skills will cost at each level. If you are coming up short, then visit the vendor more often when your inventory is full.

    4. Be as efficient with your health/mana/rage as possible! The less mana you use and the less health you lose, the less time you spend eating/drinking. This is very important when grinding. Keep this in mind when you choose your talent spec also.

    This is how I leveled and I thought it was great. I'd STRONGLY urge you to check out Jame's Alliance Leveling guide though. It truly is an amazing guide. But if you don't feel like putting in so much effort and just want a lazy way to get level 60 fast, this is your guide. Smiling

    Levels 1-13 : Just do all the quests in the zone you start in. They are all fairly easy and give you good experience. If you need help, just ask around in General Chat, there are plenty of other lowbies around to help you. During these levels, be sure to pick up First Aid and level it up, even if you are a class that can heal. This skill will prove to be very useful. Expected EXP Rate: 8-12k/hr

    Levels 13-17 Head to Westfall, if you are not already there. Along the northwestern shore of Westfall, there are crabs around level 13-14 that you can grind on. Grind on these guys, and be sure to open up the clam shells when your inventory gets full. Sometimes there are Small Lustrous Pearls inside those shells, and those and the trash they drop sell for a good amount. Expected EXP rate: 9-13k/hr

    Levels 17-24 Now you head to the southwestern shore of Westfall, near the Lighthouse. There are more crabs to grind on, but now they are level 17-18. Like before, be sure to open up the clam shells. You may also want to consider running Deadmines for some nice gear upgrades, but you will also most likely have slower experience rates while doing Deadmines. Expected EXP rate: 14-19k/hr

    Levels 24-26 Just do the quests you can in Darkshire. You should be able to do many of them. Stop when all the quests become tough. By the time that happens, you will be level 26. As you do the quests, pay attention to what you have to do in each, because many of the quests are done at Raven Hill or near Raven Hill. Minimize the time you have to spend running between Darkshire and Raven Hill.
    Expected EXP Rate: 14-17k/hr

    Level 26-29 Grind on the Skeletal Horrors and Skeletal Fiends at Raven Hill. If there are too many people grinding on them, then try the area to the east of the Fiends/Horrors, where there are lots of ghouls to grind on. Expected EXP Rate: 15-18k/hr.

    Level 29-33 This is where grinding gets really good! Just north of Darkshire, around the Mistmantle Manor, there are lots of ghouls to grind on. Kill these guys for Silk Drops and great EXP. Expected EXP Rate: 17-21k/hr

    Level 33-38 In Arathi Highlands, west of Refuge Pointe, there is a big area of Ogres that you can grind on. You can either choose to grind in a circle around the cave, or you can also kill the ogres inside of the cave. Very good EXP.
    Expected EXP Rate: 18-24k/hr

    Level 38-42 To the far north of Dustwallow Marsh at a place called Witch Hill, there are lots of raptors to kill. Be careful with the pulls around here. Very nice vendor loot here, and great EXP. Expected EXP Rate: 20-26k/hr

    Level 42-46 At southwestern Badlands, grind on the Greater Rock Elementals. If you do not have enough money for your mount, you probably will have enough after you are done with this place. Smiling Good exp, GREAT vendor loot.
    Expected EXP Rate: 17-22k/hr

    Level 46-52* At Feralas, in the island north** of Feathermoon Stronghold, there is a cave full of Nagas. This place is exp HEAVEN! The Naga drop clam shells, so be sure to open them up. Sometimes you will get Golden Pearls, which can sell as much as 60 GOLD on the auction house! And the beautiful part is, hardly anybody comes to this area, and VERY seldom there are Horde around! Quite possibly the greatest grinding area in the game IMO. Expected EXP Rate: 27-34k/hr

    **EDIT: The island with the cave is SOUTH of Feathermoon Stronghold. Sorry about that.

    *Edited 2/24/2007. At 53 and above, some mobs stop yielding experience in the Naga cave.

    Level 52-54 After some mobs stop yielding experience in the naga cave, go to southwestern Tanaris. There are lots of Thistleshrub Elementals that you can grind on. Grind these for the next two levels before going to Winterspring.

    Level 54-60 At the lake south of Everlook in Winterspring, there are ghosts surrounding the entire lake. Lots of runecloth drop off of these, as well as some good random Blue item drops. I have found Assassination Blade, a few Librams, Four of Warlords, and Stockade Pauldrons from these guys! Grind around the lake, and you will also get some great EXP, and once you hit level 60, you can finally relax now that all the pain of boredom is over. And GRATS!!! Smiling Expected EXP Rate: 26-30k/hr

    And that concludes my guide. If you logged out every time you went AFK or took a break, your play time will be at most around 7-9 days total.

    Edited 2/24/2007: As for level 60-70 (Burning Crusade), Blizzard did a good job of designing the quests for maximum experience this time around. Questing can give you up to 120k/hr in exp if done correctly. If I can find a way to grind with consistently higher exp rates than that, then I shall write a 60-70 guide. Until then, just quest, it seems to be the best way to level from 60-70, no matter if you know the quests well or not.

    Hope this helps you out a lot. Enjoy Smiling

    Requiem's 1-13 Alliance Grinding Guide

    UPDATE:I'm turning this guide into a sort of prequel to FinaL.FreeDoM's grinding guide, as there is no need for a 1-30 I will make a it a 1-13 (and FinaL.FreeDoM's guide picks up from there).

    This guide helps grind to level 13 the quickest way possible. I suggest doing Jame's leveling guide afterwards, which makes questing faster than grinding and you get to do a lot of the more fun things that you can't do whilst grinding.

    Tips:

    Get one gathering profession, and get skinning.

    Get First Aid, IT WILL HELP. The four exceptions to this are, of course, the four classes that can heal, Priest, Paladin, Druid, or Shaman.

    Buy armour off merchants and/or auction house. People say not too, they say it wastes money, but especially armour reliant classes like Warriors and Rogues need new armour almost every five levels, buy the cheapest armour that will still be useful to you.

    Specc your talents in the tree that will do the most damage.
    -Druids: Feral

    -Hunters: Beast Mastery or MarksMan

    -Mage: Fire

    -Paladin: Retribution (this talent tree is best for leveling, and arguably nothing else)

    -Priest: Shadow

    -Rogue: Combat or Assassination

    -Shaman: Elemental AND Enhancement

    -Warlock: Affliction (A lot of people say Demonology is better, I personally love Affliction much more but if you feel the need to try them both go ahead)

    -Warrior: Arms or Fury

    Always get quests related to what you are grinding (i.e., kill X amount of Y, or gather X off of Y), hey, you're grinding them anyway, why not get an extra EXP boost?

    Listen to music. Grinding may be quick in most aspects, but it's BORING. Have something to keep your mind off of it. Listening to comedians are good too.

    If you have the time, run and instance! Go into LFG when you begin grinding, when your group is full stop grinding and run the instance, go back to grinding afterwards. I would not, however, suggest running nothing but instances, limit yourself to one or two times a day.

    Don't turn in quests the second you finish them, wait 'til you're done grinding in that area to turn it in.

    ALWAYS ALWAYS Log out at an inn, the rested exp adds up.

    Don't change your Hearthstone location unless I ask you too.

    If you are not a caster, buy throwing knives or a gun/crossbow/bow. If you are a paladin use judgement spells if I tell you to pull with ranged.

    The Guide:

    If you are Draenei/Night Elf/Dwarve/Gnome you have two choices:

    Run from your starting area to Northshire Abbey or stay at your starting area until around level 12-13. Gnomes and Dwarves I suggest you run to Northshire Abbey, but Night Elfs and Draeneis it's not really worth it for you. I will add grinding guides to these areas, but if you have one and.or have an idea of how to grind please PM me about it, all credit will go to you. Smiling

    If you are Human you're sitting pretty, follow the guide as is:

    ELWYNN FOREST

    LEVEL 1-4

    1: Take the Quest 'A Threat Within' from the first NPC you meet named Deputy Willem.

    2: Turn it in to Marshal McBride inside the churchlike building. Get the follow-up 'Kobold Camp Cleanup'

    3: Go back outside and kill wolves until you hit level 3 sell and repair and get the quest 'Eagan Peltskinner' from Deputy Willem.

    4: Go around the outside of the church and turn in 'Eagan Peltskinner' to the NPC of the same name. Get the follow-up 'Wolves Across the Border.'

    5: Kill Wolves until you are level 4 and have completed 'Wolves Across the Border.' Turn it in. Sell and repair.

    LEVEL 4-8

    1: Go kill Kobolds until you ding level 6 and you have completed 'Kobold Camp Cleanup.' Sell and repair. Turn it in to Marshal McBride, don't get the follow-up but do get your class quest, it will be called 'Something Letter' (the something will vary based on what class you are. If Marshal McBride doesn't have a quest called 'Something Letter' for you, it means your class quest is not available with him, this will only happen if you are not a class humans can play).

    2: Inside the church find your class trainer (represented by the little question mark on the mini-map) and turn in 'Something Letter,' if you are a warlock or priest another class quest will be waiting for you. Get that class quest, warlocks go do it because it is important and in the immediate area, if you are a priest hold on to it we will give you a chance to do it later. Buy class skills.

    3: Now go to the Kobold camp where you grinded to six, and go north until you reach a cave with Kobolds. Grind here until level 8.

    LEVEL 8-11

    1: Outside the church follow the road south, get 'Rest and Relaxation' from Falkhaan Isenstrider. Continue south until you hit Goldshire. Go to the inn and turn in 'Rest and Relaxation' to Innkeeper Farley, also bind there (by bind I mean "make this inn your home," it makes you able to to warp from wherever in the world you are to your home-inn with your hearthstone). If you are a priest you should see another blip on your minimap, go upstairs and turn in your class quest, get the follow-ups and do them, when you have reached the end (which results in you getting a robe) continue from here. If you aren't a priest continue on with this guide.

    2: Go outside the inn and get the quest 'A Fishy Peril' from Remy "Two Times" and turn it in to Marshal Dughan. Ge the follow-up 'Further Concerns.'

    3: Look around at the vendors in Goldshire until you find someone with a skinning knife and buy one.

    4: From Goldshire head on the North east and you will come to a lake called Crystal Lake. This lake has surplus murlocs. Circle around the lake killing every murloc you see until level 10.

    (NOTE: The skinner trainer lives in the house that's right next to Crystal Lake, drop in and train up)

    5: Go back to Goldshire and learn your class skills. Start heading east and go to the Eastvale Logging Camp at around (81,65). On route there you should meet Guard Thomas, who's standing near a bridge. Turn in 'Further Concern' and don't get any follow-ups. Get 'Fine Linen Goods' from Sara Timberlain, she's around (79,68). Go west from Sara until you come to a stream, from there head north and you will come to a lake with a big Island in the middle (the lake is called "Stone Cairn Lake"). Go to the big island and grind Defias until level 11 (if you run out of Defias, there are murlocs on the east cost) and you have completed 'Fine Linen Goods,' go and turn it in.

    6: Now that you are level 11 and have turned in 'Fine Linen Goods' to Sara Timberlain Hearthstone to Goldshire, make your way on the road heading North west to Stormwind. Get the flightpath there and visit your trainer. Ask the guard if you don't know where s/he is. You will also have talent points now. Select wisely which talents you want to use for they are expensive to undo. If you are any class Besides Paladin, Rogue, or Priest your class trainers should have another quest for you. Complete the quests and continue on with the guide.

    LEVEL 11-13

    1: Walk back to Goldshire (if your heartstone cooldown is done, hearthstone). Get the quest 'Westbrook Garrison Needs Help!' Then take the road west to (24,77) (or thereabouts) Get 'Wanted: "Hogger" ' from the poster, go into the tower ahead and turn in 'Westbrook Garrison Need Help!' and then go south until you run into Gnolls called Riverpaws. Kill gnolls until level 12, avoiding Hogger (who is an elite gnoll) if you can.

    2: At level 12 you should be able to solo him. Go to (25, 92) and kill him, loot his claw for the quest. If you try and try but can't kill him just abandon the quest, it's not worth to much effort. Grind again afterwards until level 13. If, whilst you are grinding, a scroll called "The Collectors Schedule" drops off one of the gnolls right-click it and start the quest, if it doesn't don't fret it's optional. Your Hearthstone's cooldown should be over so hearth back to Goldshire and turn in 'Wanted: "Hogger" ' and 'The Collector' to Marshal Dughan. Don't get any follow-ups from Marshal Dughan. You are now done with Elwynn and should be level 13. Visit your class trainer and then go on to FinaL.FreeDoM's guide.

    Cool

    Requiem's 30-50 Alliance Grinding Guide

    I suggested doing Jame's levelling guide after my 1-30 guide. But wait... you want to continue grinding? No problem. Follow on here from where my other guide left off.

    If you are just picking up from here, that's fine too. Just go to the section where it tells your level where to grind and jump right in! But first, I suggest going to my other guide and reading my TIPS sections.

    THE GUIDE

    Thousand Needles

    Getting to Thousand Needles: If you followed my first guide you will be in Stormwind. If not, either fly to Stormwind, or Iron Forge (if you have the Flightpath), or Menethil Harbour (again, if you have the flightpath there).

    If you don't have the fp to Iron Forge: Go to the Dwarven District in Stormwind, in the back there will be a portal, enter it and take the tram to Iron Forge.

    In Iron Forge: Grab the Flightpath near the Great Forge and then exit Iron Forge through the gates, take the mountain path to the bottom and then follow the road south until you come to a fork in the road, go left and follow the road until you reach another fork (if you come to Kharanos you went the wrong way). Go right at the fork and you will reach Southern Gate Outpost after some distance. Go through there and you will reach Loch Modan. Follow the road north and you will come to Thelsamar off to the side, grab the flightpath there go back to the road and follow north until Algaz Pass. Through there go into the Wetlands. Follow the road, going left at each fork. This is a very long walk, but you will eventually reach an island called Menethil Harbour. If you reach Dun Modr, turn around and go the other way on the road.

    At Menethil Harbour: Make the inn here your home location (if you don't know where it is look for him with Blizzards handy new Tracking Feature!) and grab the flightpath. Go around the fortress and you will be able to see the sea, and two docks. Go on the left one and wait for the boat. Take the boat to Theramore Island.

    At Theramore: Grab the flightpath and leave Theramore on the road heading to Dustwallow Marsh, follow the road (its a long walk) until you reach your first fork, then go right and you will zone into the barrens. From the barrens go south toward Razorfen Downs and Razorfen Kraul until you reach the Great Lift. Go down the great lift (if you get harassed by the tauren guards there, just jump off. You will die, but the graveyard is so close by it doesn't really matter). Follow the road west until you reach the Feralas/Thousand Needles border, there will be an Alliance outpost there. Grab the flightpath there and then go east until you reach The Screeching Canyon.

    Levels 30-31

    1: Grind on harpies here until level 31. If you are lucky, you will also have collected 25 Vibrant Plumes. They are rare at about a 5% drop rate so don't hang around after level 31 if you don't have 25. If you don't have 25 sell at the auction house next time you go there. They sell well. If you did get 25, save them. And next time the Darkmoone fair is in town, turn them in for a 14 slot bag.

    This was one of my least favourite grinding spots in the game (fun wise, I mean. EXP wise its good). But A) it's only for one level Sticking out tongue and B) it's good EXP.

    Levels 31-33:

    1: Go north until you reach a road. Follow that road south, watching out for the horde guards by Freewind Post, until you enter the Shimmering Flats. Follow the path through Shimmering Flats until you reach Mirage Raceway, get the quest "Rocket Car Parts" from Kravel Koalbeard and "Load Lightening" from Pozzik. Make wide circuits around the the race track, killing everything you see until you have reached level 33 and have finished the two quests: "Rocket Car Parts" and "Load Lightening."

    NOTE: 30 car parts may seem like a lot, but they are littered everywhere, and now that patch 2.3.0 is enabled they will sparkle. You should have it done before you reach level 32.

    2: When you have finished both quests and are level 33 run back to the mirage raceway and turn the quests in. Hearthstone back to Menethil Harbour and fly to Iron Forge, learn your class skills visit the auction house etc. then fly back to Menethil.

    You are now done with Thousand Needles.

    Hillsbrad Foothills

    Getting to Hillsbrad: From Menethil follow the road out and keep following it until you came to the fork that, had you gone the wrong way, would have taken you to Dun Modr, follow the road up to Dun Modr and into the Arathi Highlands. Follow the path north from Dun Modr and you will reach the main road, follow the main road west (stopping briefly at Refuge Pointe to get its flightpath) until you zone into Hillsbrad, then continue west until a road splits off, follow that road to Southshore. Grab the flightpath there.

    Levels 33-35:

    1: Go back to the main road, from there go north west (you will leave the main road) and you will come to a Yeti cave. There are level 30-32 Yetis here. Grind here until level 35.

    Levels 35-38:

    1: When you are at level 35 run back to the main road, follow it east until another road branches off of it. Go north until you zone into Alterac. Grind on the Crushridge ogres here until level 38. When you are at level 38 hearth back to Menethil.

    You are done with the Hillsbrad Foothills.

    Badlands

    Getting to the Badlands: Fly to Thelsamar from Menethil Harbour. From there go east until you hit the Loch (the giant lake in Loch Modan). Follow the shore of the Loch south until Grizzlepaw Ridge, from there the shore starts curving southeast, so leave the shore and go completely south, you should notice a path follow it into the Badlands.

    Levels 38-40:

    1:Hug the western mountain ridge, and follow it. After a lengthy walk you should reach a small goblin camp. Get "Study of the Elements: Rock" from Lotwil Veriatus. To the left of the camp there are Lesser Rock Elementals, grind here until level 40 and until you have completed "Study of the Elements: Rock."

    Now you have two options: Have enough money for your mount? Good, hearthstone to Menethil and fly to whichever city sells the mount you can buy. Fly back to Thelsamar (make it your Home location, now), and zone back into Badlands and continue on with the guide.

    If you don't: Continue on with the guide. I suggest you start selling more stuff on the auction house, or ask your guild (if you have one)for a lone. The sooner you get your mount, the better.

    Levels 40-43:

    1: Hug the mountains again and follow them north until you come to Angor Fortress, grind the Dwarves here until level 43.

    2: Hearthstone back to Thelsanar (or Menethil, based on whether you had enough mount money) fly to Thelsanar if it isn't your home location and make it your home location. Repair here and go back to the Badlands.

    Levels 43-45:

    1: If you didn't have mount money before, it's your lucky day. In the southwestern corner of the Badlands there's a surplus of Greater Elementals. Grind on them until level 45. The Vendor loot alone should give you enough for your mount Cool. Hearth stone to Thelsanar, and fly to Iron Forge. Sell, repair, visit the auction house. And get Prepared for a very long grind.

    You are now done with Badlands.

    Feralas

    Ok. You should know how to get to Feralas. If you forget, just take the boat to Theramore, and then take the fp in Theramore to the Alliance base on the border of Feralas and Thousand Needles.

    Levels 45-50:

    1: I am going to steal an idea from FinaL.FreeDoM here and suggest you grind on the nagas in the cave on the island south of Feathermoon Stronghold. Good drops. GREAT EXP. Grind here until level 50

    2: When you are done hearth to Thelsanar and fly to Iron Forge. Repair, sell, visit the auction house.

    You are now done with Feralas.

    End of Guide.

    Joan's Leveling Guide, Chapter 1 Part 1 - Human lvl 1-12

    Joan's Leveling Guide, Chapter 1 Part 1 - Human lvl 1-12

    Introduction:

    This guide starts at level 1 when you create a new character for the humans, you can run someone from the other starts to follow this guide if you really want to.

    I wont take the quests that’s specific for the class, but I recommend you to do them. They are most often worth the trouble.

    I won’t say “sell and repair” or “visit the class trainer” just do it when you think it’s proper, but try to keep them when you are in the area of a vendor or a trainer.

    This guide is maybe not the fastest way to level but it’s a fun and works...

    Color key, as follow:

    • Level
    • Location
    • Quest
    • NCP’s
    • Items / Mobs

    Recommendations:

    When I’ve done this guide I’ve used the add on “Titan panel” witch is very useful and I recommend you to use it.

    Titan panel: It’s a very useful addon with may different features. But it’s mostly because I sometimes use locations in my guide with coordinates (x,y), and the panel shows them. But it’s also shows you a lot of other things. Download the lates version here.

    Chapter 1 Part 1

    Level 1

    You will start in a valley called North Shire Valley in the province Elwynn Forest. You will see some people and a church. But go past this and look for the wolfs, when you find them start killing them until you hit level 2.

Kill them and loot Garrick’s head. Then go back and hand in the quests, don’t get the follow up if you don’t want that specific reward. By now you should be in level 7 but if you aren’t it’s not a problem, just go and kill some Defias Thug until you hit it.

    Manovan's Night Elf Leveling Guide (1-13)

    This is a guide for fast leveling through Teldrassil as a Night Elf character. If you’re another race, I recommend that you choose another guide. This guide will take into consideration classes (class quests and talent suggestions) and professions (and alternative circuits for gatherers). This guide will optimize your leveling for your class and profession of choice. The system used is emulating Jame’s because his guides are very detailed and comfortable to play after.

    Why you should use this guide:

    • This guide takes into account every quest in the zone in the fastest and easiest way possible.
    • This guide gives suggestive circuits for your class and profession of choice.
    • This guide is carefully planned out and tested to make your leveling process as fun and easy as possible.


    IMPORTANT!


    • This guide is intended for Night Elf characters only!
    • Everything in this guide can be done solo!
    • Don’t bind your hearthstone somewhere unless I tell you to!
    • Try to log out in an inn or in one of the major cities!

    These notes are important so that you won’t get lost in the guide. If you follow the instructions accordingly, there should be no questions about what you’re supposed to do next.


    Recommended AddOns


    Using AddOns are optional but there are some I recommend to make your leveling process easier. I will also mention the AddOns I use for personal satisfaction in case you wonder about something you might see in a screenshot:

    • Quartz: A very good casting bar AddOn.
    • QuestHelper: This is a recommended AddOn which automatically track quests and mark them on your maps. I recommend using the AddOn to make it easier to find the locations of your quests while following my guide. However, I suggest you ignore QuestHelper’s suggestive routes and stick to those I suggest in this guide.
    • Titan's Panel: This is a good AddOn which adds panels to the top and bottom of your screen. The highlight of this tool is the fact that it adds coordinates to your map.

    Color Code


    • Quests
    • Items
    • Locations
    • Quest objectives to kill
    • NPCs
    • Coordinates
    • Profession

    Class specific information:

    • Druid
    • Hunter
    • Priest
    • Rogue
    • Warrior

    The color codes might look confusing at first glance but you’ll get used to it in no time.



    The Guide!



    Level 1


    So you have decided to create a Night Elf character? Great! Take your time to set up your interface the way you want it, fix your key bindings and make sure your AddOns are working properly. When you are ready:

    Grab [2] The Balance of Nature from Conservator Ilthalaine.

    Now we need to get the ingredients for [4] Iverron's Antidote:

    • Hyacinth Mushroom (7).
    • Moonpetal Lily (4).
    • Webwood Ichor.

    1: Go north to the lake at (58.38) and pick up 7 Hyacinth Mushrooms along the way.

    Turn in [5] Webwood Egg at Gilshalan Windwalker (57.41). Get [5] Tenaron's Summons.

    Run to the top of Aldrassil where you should find Tenaron Stormgrip (59.39).

    Priest: Get [4] In Favor of Elune from Shanda (59.40).

    Now it's time to leave Shadowglen.

    3: Take the road south to Porthannius (61.47). Take his quest: [5] Dolanaar Delivery.

    Follow the road west to Dolanaar.

    If you aren't level 6 already, kill some mobs along the road until you are.


    Level 6


    1: Next to the road you should see the satyr Zenn Foulhoof (60.56).

    Take his quest: [5] Zenn's Bidding.

    Continue to Dolanaar.

    Take [5] Denalan's Earth from Syral Bladeleaf (56.57) who is standing at the porch to the big tree building at your right hand side.

    Also take [6] A Troubling Breeze from Athridas Bearmantle (55.57).

    Priest: Turn in [4] In Favor of Elune at Laurna Morninglight (55.56) on the bottom floor of the tree building to the right. Get [4] Garments of the Moon.

    The First Aid Trainer is there on the bottom floor.

    Get [6] The Emerald Dreamcatcher and [7] Twisted Hatred from Tallonkai Swiftroot (55.56) who's located on the very top.

    Turn in [5] Dolanaar Delivery at Innkeeper Keldamyr in the inn (55.59).

    Make Dolanaar your home.

    Go a little bit south from the inn and turn in [5] Crown of the Earth at Corithras Moonrage (56.61). Get [5] Crown of the Earth.

    Go to Zarrin at (57.61) and learn Cooking (even if you don't want to skill it up).

    A new quest is now available. Take [7] Recipe of the Kaldorei.

    Priest: A little bit south at (57.63) you should see Sentinel Shaya. Heal and fortify her. Then go back to Laurna Morninglight (55.56) and turn it in.

    While you're here, take your time to sell junk, repair, restock food and visit your class trainer.

    Now is a good time to spend some money. You need bags. The bigger the better. If you have higher level characters on the same realm, log in on them and send some bags over. If you don't, buy what you can get. Even small bags are helpful.

    The Herbalist and Alchemist Trainers are on the southern side of town. If you want Skinning or Mining, I highly recommend that you wait until after the next circuit (or you will have one hell of a detour to take).

    Resting time is over. Now it's time to do some quests.

    Take the road east from Dolanaar and follow it to Starbreeze Village.

    Along the way, kill:

    • Nightsabers for Nightsaber Fangs (3).
    • Strigid Owls for Strigid Owl Feathers (3).
    • Webwood Lurkers for Webwood Spider Silk (3) and Small Spider Legs (7).

    1: Go to the moonwell (63.58) west of Starbreeze Village.

    Fill the Jade Phial.

    2: Enter Starbreeze Village and fight your way to the second floor of the first building to your right.

    Gaerolas Talvethren (66.58) should be lying on the floor.

    Turn in [6] A Troubling Breeze. Get [6] Gnarlpine Corruption.

    3: Go to the small house to the east (68.59).

    You should find Tallonkai's Dresser.

    Loot the Emerald Dreamcatcher.

    This is a good place for early grinding of Linen Cloth. Stay for a while if you want to be a Tailor.

    4: Go west to Denalan at Lake Al'Ameth (60.68).

    Go crazy along the herb path if you're a Herbalist.

    Turn in [5] Denalan's Earth and wait for the short sequence.

    Get:

    • [7] Timberling Seeds.
    • [7] Timberling Sprouts.

    Stay in this area until you have:

    • Killed Timberlings for 8 Timberling Seeds.
    • Looted 12 Timberling Sprouts.

    • Hit level 7.


    Level 7


    When you're done. Go back to Denalan (60.68) and turn in both quests.

    Get [7] Rellian Greenspyre.

    1: Go north to Zenn Foulhoof (60.56).

    Make sure you complete [5] Zenn's Bidding along the way.

    Turn it in and save the Severed Voodoo Claw you get as reward.

    Keep killing spiders in the area until you complete [7] Recipe of the Kaldorei (if you haven't already).

    2: Go to Fel Rock north of Dolanaar at (55.53). Fight your way inside.

    We're going to kill Lord Melenas, a nasty little guy. Take a right and pass a small pond. He usually spawns on the bottom floor or on top of the ledge.

    NOTE: He hits very hard for his level. If you're a caster, pull him from max range and use Severed Voodoo Claw on him. It will reduce his damage a little. He usually has two adds and will transform into a cat during the fight. As long as you manage to loot him, it doesn't matter if the adds will kill you. Make sure you're at least about 2500 EXP from level 8 and then attack him.

    Kill him and loot Melena's Head.

    Done? Don't want to fight your way back out again? Go to the nearest mob and offer your piñata services. Ress on the graveyard and run to Dolanaar. You shouldn't get any penalty.

    Turn in:

    • [5] Crown of the Earth at Corithras Moonrage (56.61). Get [9] Crown of the Earth.
    • [6] Gnarlpine Corruption at Athridas Bearmantle (55.57). Get [9] The Relics of Wakening.
    • [6] The Emerald Dreamcatcher and [7] Twisted Hatred at Tallonkai Swiftroot (55.56). Get [8] Ferocitas the Dream Eater.
    • [7] Recipe of the Kaldorei at Zarrin (57.61).


    Level 8


    Get [7] Seek Redemption! from Sentinel Kyra Starsong (56.59), Syral Bladeleaf (56.57) or Moon Priestess Amara (she's riding a white tiger).

    If you're an Alchemist with a skill level of at least 20, a unique quest is available for you. Take [8] Elixirs for the Bladeleafs from Syral Bladeleaf (56.57). I won't tell you when to turn this in. Do it at your own speed and turn it in whenever you can. However, you need 10 Silverleaf, 6 Earthroot and 8 Empty Vials to complete it.

    Sell junk. Repair. Restock if needed. Visit your class trainer.

    NOTE: Now we have quests spread out all over the zone which will feel like a detour. But this is the circuit I recommend doing for the best result in shortest amount of time possible:

    1: Go east to just north of Starbreeze Village (68.53) and pick up Fel Cones along the way.

    Kill:

    • 7 Gnarlpine Mystics.
    • Ferocitas the Dream Eater for Tallonkai's Jewel (you need to loot it from the Gnarlpine Necklace).

    2: On the way back to Dolanaar, make sure you complete [7] Seek Redemption! and turn it in at Zenn Foulhoof (60.56).

    Turn in [8] Ferocitas the Dream Eater at Tallonkai Swiftroot atop the tree.

    Sell junk. Repair. Restock if needed.

    We're going to leave Dolanaar by the western exit. Take [8] The Road to Darnassus from Moon Priestess Amara who is patrolling the road.

    Follow the road west all the way to Darnassus.

    Stop by the Leatherworking and Skinning Trainer in a house at (41.50) if you are interested in those professions.

    In Darnassus you can take a minute to visit the AH, the bank or learn Fishing.

    This is a decent time to take that detour to Auberdine if you want to be a Miner. Go into the portal at the bank and then fly from Rut'theran Village to Auberdine. Learn the profession and take the same way back. If you don't want this detour, you will get another chance soon.

    Go to Rellian Greenspyre in Cenarion Enclave (38.21).

    Turn in [7] Rellian Greenspyre. Get [9] Tumors.

    1: Leave Darnassus and go south to the moonwell at (42.67).

    Fill the Tourmaline Phial.

    You should be level 9 or close.


    Level 9


    Fight your way back up to the road and go east to (46.52).

    1: Kill 6 Gnarlpine Ambushers.

    2: Enter Ban'ethil Barrow Den at (43.58).

    NOTE: This is hard at level 9 so be careful not to pull too many mobs. Don't be cocky and overestimate yourself. If you play carefully, you should be able to pull this off quite smoothly.

    We're going to find four relics:

    • Black Feather Quill (43.61) across the first bridge in the first chamber.
    • Rune of Nesting (44.60) in another room in the same chamber.
    • Sapphire of the Sky (44.62) in a room at the bottom of the chamber.
    • Raven Claw Talisman (45.57) is found if you take a left from the first chamber. You will soon see another bridge which you'll have to cross. Enter a little room with a passageway going left. Take it and follow it to a balcony.

    When you're in the bottom chamber, fight your way across a bridge to a small room (44.61) where you'll find Oben Rageclaw. Take his quest [8] The Sleeping Druid.

    Kill Gnarlpine Shamans until one of them drops a Shaman Voodoo Charm.

    Go back to Oben Rageclaw and turn in [8] The Sleeping Druid. Get [10] Druid of the Claw.

    Go north from the bottom chamber to the northern most room which has three bridges. Rageclaw (45.59) is walking under them in a circle.

    NOTE: He can be tough at level 9/10. As you engage, he will transform into a bear. Curse him with your Severed Voodoo Claw to reduce his damage.

    Kill him and then use the Voodoo Charm.

    Go back to Oben Rageclaw and turn in [10] Druid of the Claw.

    If you're not level 10 yet. Grind until you are.



    Congratulations to your first talent point:

    • Druid: The smoothest way to level up a druid is by going through the Feral tree. Put your first talent point in Ferocity.
    • Hunter: I have leveled up hunters with both Marskmanship and Beastmastery before and I must say that both works very well. While Marksmanship adds more skills to the rotation, Beastmastery is the fastest of the two when it comes to leveling up (increased speed and reduced downtime for example). Put your first talent point in Improved Aspect of the Hawk.
    • Priest: If you want to heal in dungeons as you level up, put one point in Twin Disciplines (as Discipline is a good tree for combined damage and healing output). If you want to melt faces as you level up, put one point in Blackout (this is however a build that will need to be swapped at about level 20/30 for something more efficient at the time, but can be life-saving now at early levels).
    • Rogue: Put 1 point in Improved Sinister Strike.
    • Warrior: Put 1 point in Armored to the Teeth.

    Hearthstone back to Dolanaar.

    Turn in:

    • [8] The Road to Darnassus at Moon Priestess Amara (who's patrolling on a white tiger).
    • [9] Crown of the Earth at Corithras Moonrage (56.61). Get [11] Crown of the Earth.
    • [9] The Relics of Wakening at Athridas Bearmantle (55.57). Get [12] Ursal the Mauler.

    Sell junk. Repair. Restock. Visit your class trainer.

    Druid: Get the quest [10] Heeding the Call from Kal (56.60).

    Hunter: Get the quest [10] Taming the Beast at Dazalar (56.59).

    Go directly east and use the Taming Rod to tame a Webwood Lurker. Go back to Dazalar and turn in the quest. Get the follow up.

    Rogue: Get [10] The Apple Falls from Jannok Breezesong (56.59).

    Warrior: Get [10] Elanaria from Kyra Windblade (56.59).

    Go west along the road to Darnassus. The road will fork at around (38.53).

    Hunter: Go south and use the rod to tame a Nightsaber Stalker. Run back and turn in the quest. Take the follow up and return here.

    Rogue: Enter Darnassus and turn in [10] The Apple Falls at Syurna (36.21). Get [10] Destiny Calls.

    Take the path north until you end up in the Oracle Glade (38.33).

    There's an Enchanter Trainer here.

    Fill the Amethyst Phial.

    Get [11] The Enchanted Glade from Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak.

    2: Continue north to (34.28) where you'll find Strange Fronded Plant.

    Take [10] The Shimmering Frond.

    Rogue: Go north to (37.21). You should find Sethir the Ancient. Stealth up, sneak behind him and pickpocket Sethir's Journal.

    Go south to (34.33) and kill what we love the most: harpies.

    Stay in the area until you've looted 6 Bloodfeather Belts.

    NOTE: West at (31.31) is an escort quest. Ignore it for now and focus on brutally slaughtering those harpies and strip them of their belts.

    3: When you're done, go to (31.31) and take [12] Mist from Mist.

    NOTE: This is the kind of escort quest where the NPC will follow you instead of the usual opposite. A 10 minute timer will appear and you must get to the destination before it runs out. It could be wise to clear the area of harpies before you start the timer. Just go back to the moonwell and you're done. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two unless you get ambushed.

    When you're back at Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak (38.33), turn in:

    • [11] The Enchanted Glade.
    • [12] Mist.

    Get [11] Teldrassil.

    4: Go east to Wellspring River at (42.34).

    Kill Timberling Mire Beasts, Elder Timberlings and Timberling Trampers for Mossy Tumors (5).

    Blackmoss the Fetid should be patrolling the river. Kill him and loot Moss-twined Heart. Click it and start the quest: [12] The Moss-twined Heart.

    NOTE: This guy is a level 13 rare Timberling and he will hit you hard. This is another time when the Severed Voodoo Claws could come in handy.

    Stay here until you're level 11 if you aren't already.

    NOTE: We won't complete [11] Grove of the Ancients in this guide. If you don't plan on leveling up in Darkshore you can abandon this quest. However, it gives 875 EXP so if you want to you can do it by taking a small detour when we go to Auberdine. However, I won't tell you when to turn it in. If you plan on leveling in Darkshore after this guide, then save the quest.

    In order to be able to continue on Boston's Leveling Guide 20-30, I'll have to put a little grinding in here. I don't like doing this myself, but sadly, all the Redridge Mountain quests I use to do at level 19, Boston does at level 20. So therefore, you'll have to grind this last part. This is actually faster than going to another region and doing quests there.
    Just get the grinding routine going, and the grinding will be over in no time! Sticking out tongue
    Grind until you are one bar away from dinging, then use Hearthstone.

    5) Talk to Chef Breanna

    • Turn in "Redridge Goulash"

    Introduction

    This guide shows how to level a Human character from level 1-12, and in a very fast way. Any other race on the Alliance faction can also use this leveling route. Though, these will have to run from their starting location to Northshire Abbey.
    I will in some cases mention to sell, repair and restock, but not always. Be aware of this yourself, and try to empty your bag and repair when you are in town. However, I mention when it's best to learn new skills.
    For general leveling tips, click here.
    There will be a follow-up on this guide, including level 12-20 content, and perhaps a guide with level 20-30 content.

    Snowflake's Draenei Starting Guide (1-12)

    Introduction:

    This is a guide for players who start out as Draenei. It will guide you from level 1 to 12. If you need guides for any other level range (or race) please check out this page. Attention: Other races can't get quests described in this guide until about level 6 (Azure Watch). The quests before that point are only available to Draenei but any other race wishing to use this guide can level to 5/6 in their own starting area then continue on with this guide from that point.


    General Tips:

    • Always log out in an inn
    • Get bags as early as possible
    • Do not waste your time searching a group for quests mentioned in this guide unless you really can't kill something
    • In general, this guide does not guide you towards class quests or tradeskills
    • Spend your talent points to do the most damage
    • This guide can be finished in a few hours /played, should you see that you take several hours to complete one level, you are doing something wrong
    • Quests that aren't mentioned have been left out intentionally
    • This guide does not take into account PvP

    Useful Addons:

    Something that's amazingly useful is the Ace2 updater. Download and install it and the program will present you with a list of addons which all use the same library (hence they consume very few ressources). From that list you can choose addons that interest you (I downloaded Fubar quest mod, Fubar location, Cartographer, Bartender and a mod to make my UI look better) and the program will install all the addons for you. Furthermore you can run the program every time before you launch WoW and choose to update all installed modules for you.

    Level 1


    Right as you appear, go west and take the quest [1] You Survived! from Megelon. Continue further southwest until you reach the crash site. Turn in [1] You Survived! at Proenitus and take the follow up. Go further west towards the exclamation mark on the minimap and take the quest [2] Volatile Mutations from Botanist Taerix.

    Kill Volatile Mutations and Vale Moths around the camp until you complete the kill list of both quests. You should ding level 2 while doing so.


    Level 2


    Go back to the camp and turn in [2] Volatile Mutations. Get the follow up and also get [3] Botanical Legwork from the NPC close-by. Turn in the other quest and get the delivery [2] Urgent Delivery!. Go inside the building and turn it in at Zaldunn. Take the follow up. While you are in the building complete your class quest at your class trainer. Exit the building through the back entrance and get the following two quests:

    • [4] Inoculation
    • [4] Spare Parts

    Now go west of the camp. You should soon spot a Draenei Survivor looking like this (there are several):

    Search for the spell "Gift of Naaru" on your hotbar. This is your racial ability. Cast it on the Survivor.

    Further west at (74,48) you should reach a purple field looking like this:

    Gather 3 corrupted flowers there and kill Mutated Root Lashers until you have 10 lasher samples.

    You should be level 3 by the time you are done.


    Level 3


    Go back to the Crash Site, turn in [3] Botanical Legwork and then [2] What Must Be Done..., of which you get the follow up. Go inside the building and turn in [2] Rescue the Survivors!.

    Sell junk etc.

    Go south until you get to a lake with a big crystal (77,59):

    Swim to the crystal, right click it and get out of the lake by the eastern side. Go east until you hit Nestlewood Thicket (82,59) (a camp with owlbeasts).

    Now there are aggressive owlkins (red name) and non-aggressive ones (yellow name). Target the non-aggressive ones and use the innoculating crystal from your inventory on them. You'll need to do this 6 times in total. At the same time go deeper into the camp until you see a way up into the mountains (Nestlewood Hills). Follow it and search for shiny rockets looking like this on the way:

    Loot them. You'll need 4 in total. Some can be found in the mountains, some can be found in the valley on the other side. Once done, use your hearthstone, you should be level 4 by now.


    Level 4


    Go back to the Crash Site and turn in all your quests. Take the follow up: [5] The Missing Scout. Also if you have a class quest, do it now.

    Once done go southwest to (72,60) where you should see Tolaan. Turn in [5] The Missing Scout and get the follow up. A little further southwest you should see plenty of Blood Elf Scouts. Kill 10 of them.

    You should ding 5 while doing so, or you should be close.


    Level 5


    Go back to Tolaan and turn the quest in. Take the follow up. Go back to the Blood Elf camp, but this time go up the mountain until you see a little tent on the top of a slope (69,65):



    You should see Surveyor Carnessa there. Kill her and loot the Blood Elf Plans from her. Right click the plans for a quest. Go back to the Crash Site. Turn in both quests at Vindicator Aldar and take the follow up [5] The Emitter. Turn it in at Technical Zhana close-by and get the follow up.

    You are now done on the newbie island and should be half way through level 5 (or level 6 if you did your class quest). Sell junk etc. and get ready for a trip to the big island!

    Leave the Crash Site and go west. At (69,54) you should see a path leading up into the mountains. Follow it. On your way at (64,54) you should see a sitting Draenei. Take his quest. Cross the river ahead of you and take the quest [6] Red Snapper - Very Tasty! from Diktynna. Go back to the river you just crossed and look for a school of red snapper:

    Stand close to it and use your Draeinei Fishing Net from your inventory. Sometimes you'll just get a red snapper, sometimes an angry murloc spawns which you have to kill before you can loot a red snapper from him. Repeat this until you have 10 red snappers.

    Once done go back to Diktynna and turn the quest in. Take the follow up. Follow the road west until you hit the Azure Watch village.

    First, turn in [6] Find Acteon! at Acteon. Take the follow up. Then go to Technician Dyvunn and turn in [5] Travel to Azurewatch. Lastly go into the inn just behind the technician. Turn in [5] Word from Azure Watch and make the inn your home location.

    You should be level 6 by now.

    Level 6


    Go to Achorite Fateema (the first aid trainer outside) and take her quest. You can also train first aid here. Repair (if needed) and sell junk, then follow the road south.

    **From now on if you see a Blood Elf Bandit on the way, kill it for an item that gives an extra exp quest, if you don't find him though don't worry, the quest has no follow ups**

    1. On your way south (on the sides of the road) you should find Moongraze Stags and Root Trappers. Kill as many of those as you find until you have 8 Root Trapper Vines and 6 Moongraze Stag Tenderloins.

    2. All the way south (46,70), you should
