Introduction

Following this guide will take your Alliance character from level 12-20 in a very low amount of time.
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.

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"
6) Talk to Dockmaster Baren
  • Accept "Selling Fish"
  • Accept "Murloc Poachers"

Congratulations on level 20! Smiling
You can now continue leveling to level 30, using Boston's 20-30 Alliance Leveling Guide.

Having Trouble

Submitted by Cattle on Sat, 2009-06-06 02:50.

I am by no means skilled at World of Warcraft, but I am seriously dying a lot at the first Westfall section on my rogue. I am at the place where you have to kill Defias Looters and Pillagers, but almost every-time I get a kill, I get killed and have to retrieve my corpse. How would I go about not dying so much?

Great Guide

Submitted by DavivMcD on Thu, 2009-05-14 09:05.

Excellent guide, along with the 1-12 one. Sure there are a few parts with lots and lots of running, but like others said, it's necessary in order to get the flight paths. And I like how you actually have quests along the way, so it's not even just a long pointless run.

Normally I just try to grind out quests in Loch Modan/Westfall/Redridge on my own, without using a guide. The problem is you run out of quests way too fast this way, ending up with only orange or red quests in your log, which means you have to jump back and forth between the 3 zones, wasting a lot of time. This guide basically does the same thing, but in a very efficient way.

One suggestion I have is to include the quest "[15] Humble Beginnings" from Baros Alexston in Cathedral Square, Stormwind. You end up killing mobs right at his house anyway (Defias Looters and Pillagers), and even return to Stormwind the very next step.

Edit: One more thing: On the part of Westfall right after turning in the quest "Coastal Menace", you should NOT kill yourself. They added a graveyard southwest of Deadmines, so you'll rez pretty much right where you died, instead of right next to Sentinel Hill.

This one bites

Submitted by blythe on Tue, 2009-03-31 21:53.

Very inefficient paths... way more running around and running/flying back and forth than necessary. Not enough connecting quests, not enough efficiency. You're better off just staying in one zone and grinding out every quest, then moving to the next zone as the quests lead you. No time saved with this one.

Submitted by Jiyambi on Tue, 2009-03-31 22:31.

Personally haven't played this section so I don't know for sure, but from what I understand you get a lot of flight paths in this section that will save you time later. Jame seemed to get pretty good XP rates with it.

that may be a fair point

Submitted by blythe on Wed, 2009-04-01 00:00.


I get the flight path strategy, but in those cases it would make sense to write a little more explanation... saying "this may feel like a lot of needless running around but you'll need this flight path later." Way too few explanatory notes in this guide.

The reason Jame's is the gold standard is that you're never left guessing, everything is clear and connected so you always trust what you're doing. There's nothing worse than following a guide and getting that sinking feeling like "oh, no... this doesn't feel right." A little more explanation can go a long way.

Submitted by Jiyambi on Sun, 2009-04-05 23:22.

While I agree that it could certainly be said more politely, especially that first post, there is something to be said for this feedback. This user was confused by the flight path steps - you can take from this useful feedback that those steps might benefit from additional explanation.

To blythe - please try to be more constructive in your criticism in the future. Your second post here was a much better example. Using phrases like "this bites" doesn't help the author at all and could just make them feel bad.

Submitted by Jame on Wed, 2009-04-01 15:53.

Hmm, I got pretty good results from this section and I felt that the circuits made sense and were efficient.

Maybe we should add a note about the flight path gathering thing, because it's true that it does slow the guide down quite a bit, but it's necessary.

just a little thing

Submitted by Jay_Cenn on Sat, 2009-01-31 02:35.

In your lvl 18-20 section in Redridge Mountains , you need
"5 Great Goretusk Snout". there are a few Great Goretusks
in Westfall that could be looted while there to save a little time. Thought I would mention this as I had 3 when I
moved on to the 15-16 section of the guide, but sold them before I found out I needed them for another quest.
Not that important realy, but It was rather annoying at the time Smiling

In General

Submitted by Marximus on Sun, 2009-01-18 05:51.

Not begrudging James or anyone else for that matter but I know I can hit 10/20/30 without the "cooking" quests....after my first two characters, I just skipped quests like Westfall Stew the drop was awful for me and frankly, I can grind what I miss to make the difference. The XP is nice but unless you're training cooking, I feel like inevitably it's not a quest worth actually doing. Anyway, these guides are great, I use them as supplements for the most part, I do things completely out of order but after leveling 8 characters to 30, you kind of know the quickest way that works for you eh.

Submitted by Benhir on Fri, 2009-01-23 19:12.

For some strange reason the "cooking" quests have a bad drop rate. The funny thing is that you may need the Boar Intestines for the Westfall Stew quest. Only 1 Boar on 5 has an intestine, it seems! That's the annoying thing about those kind of quests. I personally hate those as well, and I also think that are useful for those who have cooking as a profession. I never level cooking as a profession, I just train apprentice to "unlock" some future quests, but you may consider this:

You have said that you can still grind when you lack some xp. Instead of grinding on other mobs, just do the cooking quests. Bad xp make those quest a kind of grinding session, with the difference that at the end you have another good xp from completeing the quest and maybe some items to sell to the vendor. I see in this way. After following Jame's guide for a while, I've learnt that optimizing is the keyword for leveling fast. And grinding on some quest-useful mobs is optimized grinding. Sorry for typos by the way Smiling

Submitted by Jame on Sun, 2009-01-18 16:04.

Well, the mobs you kill for those quests are in the way of other quest objectives, anyway, why not kill them and get extra xp, cash, rep and a quest completed.

Quests count for achievements too.

Very good work! Alliance players have now a good alternativ at Boston's 1-20 guides! Eye Despite the grinding at the end, I loved all the rest. I think you should add an alternative Darkshore quest circuit, such as the 12-20 Draenei's guide, there is a little circuit in Darkshore to provide extra xp. And with the SW Harbor, travelling has never been so easy!

Submitted by Maw on Fri, 2009-01-09 22:35.

I hate the grinding part at the end aswell, but sadly, the quests I use to do at level 19, Boston does at 20. Grinding here is the best option. If you were to pick up the scraps from Westfall and Loch Modan, it would have gone slower. Or within the times you have accepted the quests in Darkshore, you would have dinged if you grinded. It's a boring part to do, and it shouldn't even be there in the first place. But since Boston chooses to do all of the quests at level 20, you'll just have to adapt to that. Sorry - can't help it.

Quest - grind rate:
90-95% questing - 5-10% grinding.

Hope you enjoy the rest 95% of the guide Sticking out tongue

Grind on some Harvest Watchers, Defias Knuckledusters, Redridge poachers, etc. to boost the overall XP you've earned coming into the home stretch.

Submitted by Maw on Sun, 2009-01-11 20:01.

Bad suggestion. This will make players that doesn't really need to do this grinding go through it anyway. Having one grinding part at the end makes it much more optional, and for those who need it.

Yes the grinding at the end is very little, and it takes less than 1 hour, I'm pretty sure. However, I used this guide with a dwarf warrior and I had to grind just 10% of the experience. Low drop rates combined with rested xp!

Submitted by Jame on Sat, 2009-01-10 00:06.

I'm not even sure if grinding will be necessary.

See, last night I tried your 1-12 guide with Jahwo's addon and I was almost level 13 at the end, and I didn't do any extra grinding.

Maybe I was a little unlucky with some quest drops, but still, it just shows that no grinding at all might be necessary for some players. So it's ok.

Submitted by Maw on Sat, 2009-01-10 19:46.

Reply to both Jame and Benhir:

The grinding at the end has a standpoint of using this guide with no rested and getting drops really slow. Most players do level 1-20 over a few days rate, and will get some rested. If you are halfway to level 20 when the grinding part comes, you'll ding within 40 minutes to an hour, depending on how good you are at grinding. But for most players, the grinding will be just a few bars, or nothing at all. So this grinding is put in here in case someone comes to this level in a day or two, have gotten very unlucky on quest drops, and have used no rested.

I'd just like to add that it's not abnormal to have some grinding in questing guides. Some of the best guides out there (even the costly ones), includes grinding. Following Zygor's guide will make you grind alot, following Joana's guide will also make you grind alot, and following Jame's guides will make you grind some Sticking out tongue

Again: 95% questing, 5% grinding.

Heehee, that's almost an understatement, following Zygor's guide I was grinding way, way too much. I'd often end a level in the guide 20-40% of the next level and be forced to make up the difference. And by often, I mean every single level. And at least when the guides here have us grind they generally give locations that are good and convenient for grinding, it's not like "turn in this quest in Stormwind at level 50, and then grind to level 51. In Stormwind."

Ahem. *gets off her soapbox*

Yep, sometimes it's better to grind 10 minutes rather than to run around 30 minutes to complete a couple of quests and get less xp in the end.
