| Sven's -Bloodmyst- Leveling Guide 12-20
5 Average: 5 (3 votes) Introduction: It's recommended that you do the Azuremyst quests before, as there are two quests with prerequisites, you might also not be able to talk to the furbolgs (do the quest from Cryptographer Aurren in Azure Watch (Azuremyst 49,51) to learn their language), but you won't have a real big disadvantage by coming here without having quested in Azuremyst before. While a few quests can only be accepted by Draenei, it's also possible to quest here with other races. Here are a few pros and cons for leveling in Bloodmyst:
Classes that have a trainer in Azuremyst / Exodar: Classes that don't have a trainer in Azuremyst / Exodar: So if you want to come here to quest, either take a boat from Auberdine in Darkshore or better try to find a kind mage in Ironforge or Stormwind to make you a portal to the Exodar.
Basic Rules: (copied from Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide)
AddOns: There are 5 addons I can recommend which help your faster leveling as they are huge time savers:

It looks like Youri's guide
It looks like Youri's guide was put into "work in progress" mode because it's out of date. I suggest you use Boston's Leveling Guide (20-30) instead.

Ok,Thank you very much.

Thanks Sven! I don't know
Thanks Sven!
I don't know if you were around when I joined the site. If not, nice to meet you! If so, well I'm sorry for not remembering and welcome back!
Simply Amazing
Great stuff!!! made level 20.5 in 8 hours
Map Numbering
Great guide
but like someone said below it would be great if the numbers on the map matched up with the numbers on the guide - sometimes it takes a while to find where I am!
Excellent Guide
Just wanted to say thankyou for writing this guide. I have just finished it for the first time on my Draenei Shaman and found it easy to use and made the area fun to level in. The only problem I found was that in a couple of places you tell us to go in the wrong direction but I'm sad and have questhelper so this wasn't really too much of an issue for me.
Thanks again!
Awesome guide
Just used this guide to level two night elfs (hunter, druid). This worked great, very accurate. Saved us tons of time wandering around.
I'm level 18 in the level 17
I'm level 18 in the level 17 circle, but completed all of the Satyr quests in Axxarien (didn't turn them in), so let's see where that leaves me. I want to say that this guide is EXCELLENTLY done! I've never leveled a Dranei before, and I'm very happy I decided to. I was a little hesitant about using a guide, but I have to say, I am having a ton of fun with this guide. I would've never known how FAST I could level in Bloodmyst. Great job!
I do have one thing to recommend though. I must've killed about 30-40 Blood Elves at the Cryo-Core before Galaen's Amulet dropped. Unless I was running into some horrible odds, mention that the drop rate is very low for this item. I'll post again when I'm finished on Thursday!
Just got done doing this and
Just got done doing this and reached 21 in 14 hours, awesome guide.
Decent Guide
A few comments for improvement.
I honestly wouldn't bother with the Draenei Youngling quest, it's just not worth it and is a pain in the butt.
When going to a new quest hub, just gather all the quests that you will ever need, rather than saying you need certain quests at a certain point. Makes it take longer I think.
Quest to kill the boss guy at Nazzivian is bugged. He doesn't spawn sometimes, may want to mention that.
Spacing out the steps would help to not lose your place as you are going through it.
Again overall a decent guide. I got my Draenei hunter from 1-20 with this guide, and with Snowflakes guide in less than 9 hours. Thanks for the guide.

Grab All Quests
"When going to a new quest hub, just gather all the quests that you will ever need, rather than saying you need certain quests at a certain point."
That works pretty well in the starting areas, but less so after that. Sometimes taking one quest locks you out from others, or throws you onto a Gryphon and sends you into a whole 'nother area.
Still, when applicable, the guide might flow a little better if it read "take all the available quests:" followed by a list, rather than "take the following quests:". That way we don't have to ALT+TAB back and forth to see if we're taking a quest we shouldn't.
Well all i can say is awesome!
This guide is awesome i got to 20 in 3 days bout 5 hours played in those three days uhh like its already been said Tzerak's quest needs to be deleted, and uhh... i never got past 13 wit a draeni befor till now, and definantly not a draeni hunter well yah there might be a few bugs here and there but over all this is an Awesome! guide!
~If i were president id be PRESIDENT!~
A few visual design tweeks needed.
Good guide, aside from the Tzerak comment already made there are some painful design issues involved.
One being that you don't have the map numbering matching the steps. Every time we alt+tab and look at our next destination we have to find which step we are on in the guide. It makes the numbering of the steps redundant and ultimately they don't serve the purpose of clarity.
Secondly is that you put the images for found quest objects at the end of each segment of your guide, so as we play through, and have finished all the quests we go "Oh, so those were the things that I've already found" this is once again redundant and fails to serve as an informational aid to the guide. This would be quite simply and easily solved by moving the images to the top of the segments.
On the plus side it's great that you put page breaks between each segment. It really helps the viewer's eyes focus on the current goals.
(Yeah, I'm a design student. I make posters, informational illustrations and the such while I'm not playing WoW, so these little issues would have driven me nuts if I didn't state them, heh.)
Great Guide
This is an excellent guide, and much more viable for Ironforge and Stormwind folk since patch 3.0.2. I just ran through this guide with a Night Elf Hunter on a new server (no twinking, no help from alts or friends); 12 - 20 took ten hours /played (17:30 from 1 - 20) with almost no rested bonus (did 1 - 12 on Saturday, 12 - 20 Sunday). I finished the guide about an hour later, and dinged 21 while turning in the final quests. If I were solely focused on leveling, I probably could have gone a little faster, but I had to make several trips to the Exodar to sell herbs and buy larger bags.
Benhir: I had the same experience; I waited several minutes for Tzerak, and I saw summoners appear to perform the ritual, but he never appeared. With any significant amount of rested bonus, it shouldn't be a problem. Just skip it.
Also, Kella Nightbow didn't have any quests for me. Either that quest has a prerequisite, it's draenei-only, or it's been scrapped. All she said was "Hello [class]."

Patch 3 bug
I was following the guide and then suddenly stopped when looking for Tzerak. Wowhead and Thottbot confirm that he is bugged and will not spawn.
So, before going on with the guide, what should I do instead of this quest and the follow up? Other than that I am a little behind the guide and I think that I'll end far behind in xp terms,
bye

Review.
So, I've just finished this guide with a Shaman.
The guide was simple to read and to follow. The formatting is ok but I think that you could add more images for the circuits. The circles are very good for xp/hr and I had loads of fun while leveling there.
When I finished the last step I was 50% into level 21, which is awesome. I'm going to use Boston's 20-30 guide and then Jame's ally guides ^^.
Nice guide, I would give it 8/10.
Revered Member
Ok.
Well I am almost at the end of the guide and I confirm that this bug does not matter. It's only a few xp points that you loose, I'm ahead of the guide without that quest
.
Tomorrow, as I'll end the guide, I'll post final thoughts about this guide.
Terrific guide! I had such
Terrific guide! I had such an awesome time playing through it and leveled very quickly.
good guide. If it had more
good guide. If it had more maps and if the maps were synchronized with the points in the circles (ie. point 1 in the writing referred to point 1 in the map, like it is in Jame's and Boston's guides), it would be perfect.
Great Guide
Great guide. 12-20 in one sitting... I actually hit 20 as soon as I collected all the dragon bones.
Not bad
I'm lvling my second character using guides and this is not bad compared to the other guides, definitely the best 12-20 guide. I completed the guide in about 10 hours playtime and the xp rate beats anything you'll find in the normal zones. A couple of points:
*Even after doing the optional section at lvl 15 I was still 1/2 a lvl short of lvl 16. More quests in darkshore needed.
*The guide asks you to grind to finish lvl 14, I was barely 4 bars into lvl 13 at this point so I didn't bother grinding an entire lvl. Hence, more quests in darkshore plz
*Circle 9 falls over badly. Although I finished the circuit with just 2k xp to ding I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out which quests I cant do because of the quest series not mentioned until now, could you mention at the start of the guide that you need to do the quests in Odysseus' Landing or rephrase circuit 9 to indicate whats optional!?
Overall, an enjoyable guide that I'm sure will become an essential part of pre-Jamie
Good Guide
This was a great guide, it reduced my /played time by alot. However, I found that I ended up 1 entire level ahead of the guide, due to the extremely low drop rate on the Elder Brown Bears, other than that it was a good guide, and I did quests I never knew existed.
WoW
This is a totally excellent guide. Got me from lvl12 to 20 very quickly, nicely worked out and well formatted. Thanks.
It took me about 7 hours for 8 levels, not all in the same day but very little rested bonus used. Excellent, im back for the next set. Onwards to lvl70 !!!
thanks
Thank you all for the positive feedback and hints to improve this.
I am currently playing through this again on a mage and will add your stuff into it when I'm done.
edit; just saw that snowflake and jame already fixed a couple of those things, thank you

For some reason, I can't get
For some reason, I can't get the quest "Saving Princess Stillpine" with my gnome rogue. Before going into Bloodmyst, I'd read that I'd need to do the Learning the Language questline first, so I did. I still couldn't get the quest from the princess, and from what I've seen on Wowhead and Allakhazam, I'm not alone. Perhaps an occasional glitch?
Administrator
Have you done the follow up
Have you done the follow up of the Furlbog Language quest line? [10] Stillpine Hold
Pretty sure it's a prerequisite too
Honored Member
No, I hadn't done the follow
No, I hadn't done the follow up, and that fixed the issue. Thanks for the input!
Good work
Just finished running through this with a Human warlock, and it was great.
Just 1 small comment - the closest warlock trainer is probably in Ironforge, not Ratchett. Ratchett is really far from Auberdeen (even if you fly), whereas the flight from Menethil to Ironforge is pretty short. You just have to wait for another boat first. And warlocks coming to Bloodmyst will have to pass through Ironforg on their way there, so picking up the flight path is not a problem.
a few typo's (east/west)
A few times you say "southeast" or "northeast" when you mean "southwest" or "northwest" -- for example:
* Under Circle 3
Make sure you got [14] Victims of Corruption from Morae and [14] Know Thine Enemy from Vindicator Aalesia, then leave Blood Watch to the ******southeast******.
* Under Circle 4
Leave Blood Watch to the ******northeast****** until you're in Bladewood (49,47) again.
Nice work thanks for the guide!
Excellent guide!
Great job Sven. This guide is well put together, and in a format that is very easy to read, track, and execute without consulting any other sources. I would recommend this to anyone planning to level in this area. (5 stars!)
Notes/Comments:
Circle 2
Step 3: Now grind on the Nagas until you got the Survey Data Crystal from one of them.
- Most likely this was my poor luck of the draw, but "grind on the Nagas" was a huge understatement as I literally had to kill between 70-80 before the lone data crystal dropped.
Circle 10
Step 5: Accept [20+] Clearing the Way from Vindicator Corin and then [20+] Ending Their World from Demolitionist Legoso, then follow him and do as you just read.
- The suggestion to abandon 'Ending Their World' halfway through and then re-getting it to rack up kills for 'Clearing the Way' is brilliant. I would add though that even so 'Clearing the Way' will most likely be impossible to solo for most classes that do not have some method of healing. Although quite buff, the quest NPC will eventually take on more then he can handle, and you will find yourself without a friend, on top of a hill, surrounded by elites.
- I eventually completed with another lvl 21 mage. (end boss is easy, most fights are easy, just as stated above, sometimes NPC just charges in on 3-4 elites)
Final Steps:
Step 2: If you skipped the Optional Circle in Darkshore, there's still a quest that was left untouched:
[15] Newfound Allies from Anchorite Paetheus. Accept it, fly to the Exodar, travel northeast and find Huntress Kella Nightbow (24,54). Turn in [15] Newfound Allies and get the followup [15] The Way to Auberdine.
- Kella Nightbow is southwest of Exodar, not northeast. Coordinates are correct, but might want to add that she is right next to the docks where the boat to Auberdine leaves from.
Overall an excellent guide, and I look forward to more of your work.
Currently I am now working on Youri's Level 20-30 Alliance Leveling Guide and although the format looked cringingly rustic I am already quite impressed with the progression of quests chosen. With a little dose of thottbot seasoning it appears to be very good so far.
Cheers.
Nice work!
Thanks a lot for a great guide! Being the first time using one, it was a great experience!
I have one thing to add though... Circle 9, step 10: It's better to look for the Bloodcursed Voyagers a little further east of the coast - down a "cliff" or "hill", right before the fatigue-water starts. There are lots of them there. That way you don't have to wait for them to respawn. I don't remember the cords though.
I hope I'll see more guides from you in the future!
The above post points out a
The above post points out a nice improvement. Swimming east of the quest giver, past the ships, and down to the bottom of the underwater cliff u will find a bunch of Bloodcursed Voyagers. The only annoying thing is you are rather far away from "land" or any dry spot you could use to sit and eat/drink for mana or health.
I managed to do ok as a lvl 20 frost mage and did not need to rest for mana or health, but your experience may differ. Drop rate was around 40~50%. FYI, since I read this post before getting to this stage I actualy skipped killing any of the Bloodcursed Voyagers in the boats and went directly to the "new" spot. Even so, I was not even close to clearing more then 30% of the area of target mobs.
Good find whoever posted this.
Cheers!
Great guide
Thanks for this great guide Sven!
It really helped my draenei getting from 10 to 20+ in no time.
Everything is very clear, I don't have to read all the quest texts, and I didn't need to get to thottbot each time because I couldn't find something
The maps you included in the guide are really helpful, and the "circles" of quests are also helpful, so you don't have to get to a place two times.
Thanks again!

Nice job :)
Very nice job with the guide
. I'd have to add - I leveled as a druid for these quests. With the additional druid quests (Cure Poison @ 14 and Aquatic Form @ 16) I managed to just ding 21 with the final quest turn-in (Ysera's Tears). I also did the optional circle in Darkshore (as I was there doing the druid quest at 16 anyway - it fit in nicely at that point. /played time = 21 hours.
Thanks!
Great guide!
I got my Night Elf Druid through this guide and it worked wonderfully. I wanted to get some Exodar rep and experience some of the Draenei areas (can't be a Draenei Druid though :[). Also needed to get to level 20 fast so I could level with friends. I don't think I could have leveled nearly as fast without it. Thanks Sven!
Great Guide!
I just completed this guide using my first draenei character, and it was a fantastic experience...excellent guide, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. I leveled very quickly and had a blast doing it. You should write more guides!
Thank you

thanks
thanks to your hints as well as the much positive feedback from the others
fixed the other stuff, although I already mentioned the furbolg language thing in the introduction, I now clearified it near the princess quest.
didn't notice I forgot to tell to get the flight path, other than that the additions just clear things up, but they are good additions. thanks.

Great job! Dinged 20 in less than 17 hours using this guide, new record! And my way to 12 wasn't even that good.
Couldn't have done it better myself
Thanks alot Sven, keep it up!
Well, I finished the guide
Well, I finished the guide with a Night Elf rogue, everything went smoothly (ofcourse skipped some spots, added some of my own quests that didn't fit in with the guides (as I usually do)). But all in all, great guide, had lots of fun. Only got dissapointed that I couldn't get that Tabard or do the most fun quest with that shaman...
Awesome!
Just used it for a druid because I was bored of Darkshore and it was awesome. :)
Thanks so much for writing it!
Very Nice Guide
I haven't gone through the whole guide yet but so far it's been great. I've looked through the rest of the guide briefly, and having levelled in Bloodmyst before it looks like a great guide. I've also noticed a few quests I've missed before so it will be nice to try those. The presentation is excellent, it must have taken a lot of effort. :) I'll comment again when I've done the guide, but great work.
comments?
Would love to see this reviewed by people who used this.. :(
having no feedback after putting in so much work sucks :(
about the guide
I did Bloodmyst with a Gnome Warlock (duo with a friend), then did it solo with a Hunter.
Then I created this guide.
Now I test played it with a Shaman:
Worked quite well, barely had to grind at the points I mentioned, doing the optional circles was fine.
Only thing is that the "final battle" was a bit tough to solo with the Shaman, although it was easy as hell with the hunter (thought it would be that way before anyway).
Stuff to add tomorrow:
maps, screenshots of stuff like mushrooms, sand pears etc.
PS: I'm not native english. It's possible that there are minor grammar mistakes

The guide truly looks
The guide truly looks amazing. The formatting is well done and tomorrow I'm going to take some time to read through it in detail.
Being from Germany myself I think that your English is exceptional and so far I haven't spotted any grammatical errors yet.
