Question– Your guides really helped me out and I want to return the favor, what can I do to help?

Answer– Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Most important and easiest way to help: Spread the word. Tell people about my guide. Your friends, guildmates, boards you visit. Tell them that they are FREE and that they make you level much faster than other guides or questhelper.

2. When you try my guides, if you find any mistakes, leave a comment.

3. Post useful comments here. When people ask for advices and you know the answer, go for it and help them out, so I won’t have to do it myself 😛

4. And then of course, you can write a guide about an area of the game where you’re good. Direct message me on Twitter if you want to become an editor on Wow-pro!

5. You can also translate guides into other languages, if you are fluent in another language. Check our Guides in Other Languages section to see what has already been translated.

6. Leave a tip to the author of these guides : Donate!


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!

NOTE: Following this guide will get you the Quest Achievement for Howling Fjord: I’ve Toured the Fjord. In fact, 100% of the quests of Howling Fjord are included in the guide, or at least mentioned as optional.

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.

 

Shopping List:

Bags – Try to at least have 18-slot bags. We’ll go on long circuits far from any vendor, so bag space is necessary. If you can’t afford 18-slot bags, go for 16-slot ones, they are much cheaper.


Color Code:

  • Quests
  • Items
  • Locations
  • Quest objectives to kill
  • NPCs
  • Locs

The Guide:

If you followed my previous guide, you should already be in Valgarde Keep.

If you didn’t, simply go to Menethil Harbor. Go to the northern pier (5,57). Take the boat to Howling Fjord. The Boat will take you to Valgarde Keep.

Once in Valgarde Keep, get off the boat and get the quest [70] Hell Has Frozen Over…

Zoom out your minimap to the maximum, this will make it easier for you to locate quests.

Go to the yellow “?” on your minimap. Turn in [70] Hell Has Frozen Over… and get [70] If Valgarde Falls…

Go down and keep going until you find Glorenfeld. Turn in [71] And Then There Were Two… and get [71] The Depths of Depravity.

==Note== From now on, look on the floor for Wyrmskull Tablets while following the next steps.

OptionalInstance: Utgarde Keep

Now you can start looking for a group for the Utgarde Keep instance.

You already have all the quests for it:

  • [71] Disarmament
  • [71] Into Utgarde!

It’s a very quick instance for level 71-73 players, I recommend it.

If you don’t feel like it or if you don’t find a group, you can abandon the above 2 quests. They can easily be picked up in the future anyway, if you change your mind.

Go east towards the big crowd of Vrykul and listen to the speech until you complete the quest [71] Anguish of Nifflevar.

5. Ride back to Lieutenant Icehammer, turn in [71] Harpoon Master Yavus, get [71] It Goes to 11…

You’ll get the following action bar:

a70image21.jpg

Ability #1 is to destroy buildings.
Ability #2 is to kill Flying Defenders. 2-4 of them come whenever you destroy a building.

The 3 buildings you have to destroy are actually on the other side of the Fjord, as shown on the screenshot below:

a70image22.jpg

Use Ability #1, aim for the roof of the first building with the green circle and left-click TWICE. (This cannon just works weirdly).

If you aimed well, some Flying Defenders will come and attack you. Target them one by one and use Ability #2.

Repeat this for the other two building and you should be done.

==Note== If you need more Defender kills, you can spawn extra by shooting the same buildings again, even if you’ve already destroyed them.

a70image16.jpg Put your Trained Rock Falcon on a hotkey.

We’re gonna look for Fjord Hawks, they’re found in pairs.

a70image26.jpg

Problem: When you use your Falcon on one of them, the other one attacks you and you can’t use your Falcon on it as long as you’re still in combat. The only option is to kill it or run away.
Solution: We run away, come back and capture the second hawk, then move to the next spot. (Of course, if your class got some sort of aggro reset, use it, it saves time).

a70circuit8.jpg

1. First Hawk Pair is right next to the Explorers’ League Outpost. Use your falcon and capture both Hawks.

2. Go north/northwest to the next Hawk Pair (74,60). Capture them both.

Then look up in the skies, there’s another Hawk Pair flying close to this spot every 15 seconds or so. Target one and wait for it to come close, then capture it. Run away and then capture the second hawk.

3. Keep going southwest to the next Hawk Pair (71,63). Capture Both

4. A little further west/southwest, past the road intersection, you should find another pair (68,64).

That should be 10 Hawks Captured now. If you’re missing some, then just restart this circuits and wait for respawns.

Wait for the Zeppelin and get on it.

a70image31.jpg Put Petrov’s Cluster Bombs on a hotkey.

In my experience, it’s best to position yourself at the very tip of the zeppelin, switch to walk mode for safety (hit the / key on your numpad), like on the screenshot below:

a70image32.jpg

And then don’t move, just use your mouse’s left-click the rotate your camera, use the bombs and aim the green circle at the pirate canons. It’s best to aim for the canons, the pirates will die too in the process anyway.

If you don’t manage to complete the quest in one run, just stay on the zeppelin and do one more run.

[71] The Jig is Up, one of the two quests we’ll do in this cave, can be easily soloed by classes who can kite or fear (like mages, warlock, hunter, maybe shadowpriests). It can also be soloed by melee classes with cooldowns/pots, depending on your gear and talent spec. It requires you to beat “Mad” Jonah Sterling down to 30% and then to kill Hozzer, a huge bear. They are both elite and hit kinda hard, but they can be slowed and stunned. Jonas can be feared as well, Hozzer is immune to fear though.

If you can’t solo it, try to find help. The rewards for this quest are:

Sailor’s Knotted Charm
First Mate’s Pocket Watch
Strike of the Seas

Don’t forget to loot Jonah Sterling’s Spyglass from Hozzer after you kill it.

If you can’t find help for this quest, just save it for later or abandon it, as you prefer. There’s no follow up so not a big deal.

We still have another quest to do in this cave, and it’s doable even if you can’t kill “Mad” Jonah Sterling.

Inside the cave, you just have to hug the left wall and you can go past “Mad” Jonah without aggroing him, don’t worry about Hozzer either, he’s sleeping, you can run past him and go to the end of the cave, where you’ll find The Frozen Heart of Isuldof.

Then they take a walk towards the snowy hills to the north, and they despawn there. It’s easiest to wait for them at the line where the snow starts (72,16).

They’re elite and rather tough, but can be kited and stunned. Melee classes will probably have troubles to solo them, so they should try to find help. You really must try hard to finish that quest, because it has several follow ups.

a70image66.jpg Whenever you kill a Runed Stone Giant, loot it, target its corpse and right-click the Runeseeking Pick.

After that, mount up, ride north towards the snowy hills while carefully avoiding any aggro. Go all the way up and at (70,12) you should see a snowy path going northwest (as shown on the map). Take this snowy path and you should find Megalith.

Then, let Megalith hit you once and let your stone giant pet tank for you. Give him time to build some aggro, wait till he’s down to 60% HP or so before you start attacking. With the help of the pet, any class should be able to solo megalith.

6. Then just clear the way back to the top, or just ride out (use at your own risk).

Ride back to Westguard Keep. Turn in:

[71] Leader of the Deranged

Go inside the keep, turn in:

  • [71] Of Keys and Cage, get [71] In Service to the Light
  • [71] Dealing With Gjalerbron, get [71] Necro Overlord Mezhen
  • [72] Gjalerbron Attack Plans, get [72] The Frost Wyrm and its Master

Also get [71] Sleeping Giants from Mage-Lieutenant Malister.

Sell junk, repair and re-stock food/drink.

1. Go back to Gjalerbron. Go up to the higher plateau and go northeast until you reach another higher plateau. Take a right turn and go up the east slope, you’ll end up on the rear right platform (38,12).

==Note== Kill Deathless Watchers and Putrid Wights on sight from now on.

Kill the 5 Necrolords guarding Necro Overlord Mezhen, they can be pulled solo. Then kill Necro Overlord Mezhen and loot Mezhen’s Writings.

a71img21.jpg Right-click them to start the quest [72] The Slumbering King.

2. Go to the big gate north of here. Enter the building and you should see a bunch of Necrolords trying to awake King Ymiron. Don’t worry, they can’t attack you. Clear the way around that platform and access it from the backdoor. There you should see Queen Angerboda. Kill her. You’ll see a little script involving Arthas.

3. Get out of this building and go west to the rear-west platform (37,8 ).

==Warning== We’re about to attempt to solo an elite frost wyrm. It should be doable for every class with normal gear, provided you use everything you got.

Clear the platform and kill Wyrmcaller Vile last, loot the Wyrmcaller’s Horn.

a71img20.jpg Right-click it and eat/drink quickly while the frost wyrm flies to you.

Glacion is immune to all forms of CC, you can’t even interrupt his spells. He hits for about 1000 on cloth and sometimes cast a frost breath which does about 800 damage. If you use all your cooldowns and a pot you should be fine. It might not even been needed depending on your class/gear.

Anyway, if you can’t solo this one, try to find a friend. If all fails, just abandon the quest and come back to do it later or at level 80. It has no follow up, so no big deal.

In any case, before you go to the next step, you must have killed 10 Deathless Watchers and 2 Putrid Wights. You know where to find them, on the side platforms. There are two other side platforms southwest of the two we just visited, should you run short on Deathless Watchers.

4. Go back to the entrance of Gjalerbron. This time go inside the building right at the entrance. This will take you down to The Walking Halls (35,13).

Go down, turn either left or right. You should have several Awakening Rods by now. At least 5. If you have less than 5, you’ll have to kill a few more Necrolords, and there are plenty in these halls.

a71image19.jpg Use the Awakening Rod on a Dormant Vrykul.

Once you’ve awakened 5 Dormant Vrykuls and slain 4 Fearsome Horrors, get out of this building.

Hearthstone back to Westguard Keep (or ride back if HS not up). Turn in:

  • [71] In Service to the Light
  • [71] Necro Overlord Mezhen
  • [72] The Slumbering King
  • [72] Sleeping Giants
  • [72] The Frost Wyrm and its Master (if you did it)

Sell junk, repair and re-stock food/drink.

Go to the Gryphon Master. Dismount.

Turn in [72] Of Traitors and Treason, get the follow up [72] High Commander Halford Wyrmbane.

This will fly you to Wintergarde Keep in Dragonblight.

This chapter ends here. Don’t worry if you’re not level 74 yet, it’s normal.

Move on to the next chapter: Dragonblight.
