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!

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 Borean Tundra: Nothing Boring About Borean. In fact, 100% of the quests of Borean Tundra are included in the guide, or at least mentioned as optional.
You’ll also get this achievement on the way: D.E.H.T.A’s Little P.I.T.A..
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 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.
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.

The Guide:
If you followed my previous chapter, you should be in Warsong Hold, Borean Tundra.
If you are not there, simply go to the zeppelin tower southwest of Orgrimmar. Take a zeppelin to Borean Tundra.
Once in Warsong Hold, get the quest [71] Hellscream’s Vigil.
In Warsong Hold you’ll find tradeskills trainers, so feel free to train new skills or to grab whatever tradeskill quest they might have for you. They are not included in the guide, you’ll have to figure this out on your own.
Go further down the stairs, turn in [71] Hellscream’s Vigil, get the follow up [71] The Defense of Warsong Hold.
Find the innkeeper and make Warsong Hold your home location.
Get out of Warsong Hold and turn left, find Overlord Razgor (43,55), turn in and get the follow up [71] Taking Back Mightstone Quarry.
On your minimap (if it’s totally zoomed out) you should see two new yellow “!“. Go get those quests:
- [71] Taken by the Scourge
- [71] Patience is a Virtue that We Don’t Need
Before we begin, you must know that every 30 minutes or so, waves of flying Nerub’ars will attack the barricades infront of Warsong Hold and the Warsong Captain will yell: “Marksmen! Front and center! Scourge attacking incoming!”
About 10 minutes after that, a boss will come and yell, so keep an eye on your chat log for this message: “Ith’rix the Harvester yells: I will take great pleasure in tearing the forces of the Horde apart… limb from limb and piece by piece…”
When you see that, go back quickly to the main gate (43,57) and help the NPCs kill Ith’rix (or just watch), until he dies. After he’s dead, Ith’rix’s Hardened Carapace will appear on the floor. Loot it. Right-click it to start the quest [71] What the Cold Wind Brings…
Now let’s get started!
1. Go down in the Mightstone Quarry, we have 3 objectives here:
- Kill 15 Nerub’ar on your way
- Look for Warsong Munitions Crate – Loot 15
- Look for Nerub’ar Victims – Destroy the cocoons and free 5 Warsong Peons
2. When done with all that, go back to Warsong Hold, turn in:
- [71] Taken by the Scourge
- [71] Patience is a Virtue that We Don’t Need, get [71] Bury Those Cockroaches!
- [71] Taking Back Mightstone Quarry, get [71] Cutting Off the Source
Also get [71] Untold Truths from Shadowstalker Barthus.
1. Jump down in the pit to the left of the barricades and you’ll find a hole blocked by webs (44,57).
Right-click the Seaforium Depth Charge Bundle from your inventory while standing on the webs.
2. Get out of this pit and go a few paces southwest until you find some scaffolds at (43,59). You should find Nerub’ar Egg Sacs there. Destroy them.
There’s more of those scaffolds just a few paces southwest of this one. If you destroy all eggs on both scaffolds you should be done with the quest.
3. Go directly northwest of the scaffolds for about 20 paces and you’ll find the Southern Nerub’ar Sinkhole (42,58). Blow it up.
4. Follow a narrow path northwest until you find the next Nerub’ar Sinkhole at (40,53). Blow it up.
Right next to this hole you should find the corpse of Shadowstalker Luther. Turn in [71] Untold Truths, get [71] Nerbu’ar Secrets
5. A little northeast you should find the last Nerub’ar Sinkhole (41,50). Blow it up.
6. Go back to Warsong Hold, turn in:
- [71] Bury Those Cockroaches!
- [71] Cutting Off the Source, get [71] Wind Master To’bor

Go inside Warsong Hold, turn in:

While you’re here, also get those three other quests:

- [71] Ride to Taunka’le Village
- [71] Too Close For Comfort
Go up the stairs and take the lift up.
Once at the top of the fortress, get the new flight path.
Go southeast to Wind Master To’Bor. Turn in [71] Wind Master To’bor, get [71] Magic Carpet Ride.
Go talk to Yanni, a blood elf standing nearby. Ask him to send you to Garrosh’s Landing.
After landing, turn in [71] Magic Carpet Ride, get [71] Tank Ain’t Gonna Fix Itself.
Turn in [71] Tank Ain’t Gonna Fix Itself immediately at Mobu. Get the 2 follow ups:
- [71] Mobu’s Pneumatic Tank Transjigamarig
- [71] Super Strong Metal Plates!
Also get the other quests:
- [71] Into the Mist
- [71] Horn of the Ancient Mariner
1. Go north and enter the mist. Kill every Kvaldir you find on your way, they drop the Tuskarr Relics we need.
Also pick up Super Stronge Metal Plates on the way:
2. Keep going north until you get to a hut at (32,49). Inside it you’ll find a Pneumatic Tank Transjigamarig. Loot it:
Now just stay in this area and kill stuff until you finish:
- [71] Into the Mist
- [71] Super Strong Metal Plates!
- [71] Horn of the Ancient Mariner (the Horn of the Ancient Mariner can only drop from Kvaldir Mistweavers)
3. Go to the building at (32,52), where you should see a yellow “!” labelled as Mootoo the Younger. If you don’t see it, it means someone else is on the escort quest, so just kill things in the area while waiting.
Get the quest [71] Escaping the Mist, escort Mootoo back to Garrosh’s Landing.
Turn in the 5 quests:

Right-click the Turskarr Torch while standing close to the ship to burn it.
2. A little further north you’ll find two other ships, The Kur Drakkar and The Serpent’s Maw. Burn them both.
3. Ride south along the coast until Warsong Jetty (30,57). Go west towards the end of the jetty.
Use the Horn of the Ancient Mariner while standing at the very edge of the jetty, but your feet must not touch the water though.
When you use the horn, a Drakkar will come. You’ll have to fight the crewmen first and then Orabus. Kill him and you’ll complete the quest [71] Orabus the Helmsman.

Burn it.
5. Go back to Garrosh’s Landing, turn in:

- [71] Orabus the Helmsman, get [71] Seek Out Karuk!
Time for a fun quest now.
Right-click one of the Horde Siege Tanks.
Your action bars will be replaced by the following bar:
Ability #1 is rather difficult to use, because you have to aim your cannon properly. I’d recommend to set your cannon like this:
That way, when you use Ability #1, you’ll shoot directly infront of you, and it’s nice to get rid of bunch of mobs attacking you (they’re all melee types). Anyway, it costs a lot of mana for what it does, other abilities are better.
Ability #2 is great. Use it when you’re overwhelmed and drive around so mobs step onto your mines and blow up. It costs a lot of mana though.
Ability #3 is cheap but doesn’t do much damage. It’s just a frontal attack for about 3-4K damage. Use it when other abilities are on cooldown.
Ability #4 is the best. Just rush into a bunch of mobs and use it, let it channel fully 🙂
Ability #5 is to pick up Injured Warsong Soldiers. They are rather small in comparison to you, so you have to look out for them:
When you find one of them, go next to it, target it and use Ability #5 to rescue it.
Other things you need to know:
- The tank’s abilities cost mana. To replenish your tank’s mana, you have to drive over barrels. There are a lot of those barrels scattered across the field
- If your tank gets destroyed, just go back to Garrosh’s Landing and get a new one
- To finish the mission, you need to kill 100 Scourge minions, rescue 3 Injured Warsong Soldiers but you also need to identify the leader of the scourge. He’s very easy to find, it’s Kel’Thuzad, he stands on the platform in the middle of the field. Just drive close to him and you’ll get the quest update
With that said, have fun completing this quest.
Once you’re done, stay in the tank and go further southeast past the battle field. When you are out of the battle, you’ll get a warning “Ejection Imminent“.
When you see this message, click on the “Leave Vehicle” button.
1. After landing with a parachute, you should be in an area called the Bloodspore Plains. Go east to Karuk (47,75). Turn in [71] Seek Out Karuk! and get the follow up [71] Karuk’s Oath.
2. Go down to Riplash Strand and go west until you see a Captured Tuskarr Prisoner, fighting a naga at (44,78).
Help the tuskarr to kill the naga and he’ll give you a quest [71] Cruelty of the Kvaldir.
Now kill what you still need for [71] Karuk’s Oath.
Go back to Karuk, turn in [71] Cruelty of the Kvaldir and [71] Karuk’s Oath, get the follow up [71] Gamel the Cruel.
3. Go south to a cave at (46,79). Go inside and kill Gamel the Cruel.
Go back to Karuk, turn in and get the follow up [71] A Father’s Words.
4. Go precisely southwest to Veehja (44,80).
Turn in and get the follow up [71] The Trident of Naz’jan.
5. Swim east/southeast towards a big tower far in the distance. There you’ll find a spot where you can jump out of the water, as shown on the image below:
From there you’ll see some stairs to your left.
At the top of those stairs you’ll find Ragnar Drakkarlund. Kill him and loot the Trident of Naz’jan.
6. Swim west/northwest back to Veehja, turn in [71] The Trident of Naz’jan, get the follow up [71] The Emissary.
7. Go back to spot 5.
Look in your inventory for the Trident of Naz’jan, put it on an action bar.
This time instead of going up on the isle, we’re going to swim down and look for Leviroth, a big monster at the bottom of the sea. Make sure your breath is full before you dive in.
Use the Trident of Naz’jan on Leviroth and then finish him off.
When done with that, swim northwest back to the mainland, go to Karuk and turn in [71] The Emissary.
Hearthstone back to Warsong Hold, go to Garrosh Hellscream and turn in [71] The Plains of Nasalm.
Sell junk, repair and restock food/drink.

[71] Breaking Through is a quest most classes won’t be able to solo, depending on gear as well. It can be duo’d easily if one of the two classes can heal (a Death Knight tanking and self healing also works). Bringing 3+ players will make it a breeze though. If you don’t find help immediately, just skip the next part and go on with the guide. Just come back and read this part once you find a group for breaking through.
[71] Breaking Through
After entering En’kilah. Look to your right and you’ll find the teleporter:
Step on it and you’ll enter Naxxanar. If you want to get out, simply step on the green teleporter, right next to where you arrived.
Vanthryn the Merciless
Go to the northwestern room and kill Vanthryn the Merciless. He’s elite but should be soloable if you use your cooldowns. He’s just a melee mob, doesn’t do anything special. He can be stunned and snared. Just make sure you pull him solo, there’s a gargoyle behind him sometimes, just wait till it goes away.
Luthion the Vile
Next, go to the northeastern wing and kill Luthion the Vile. He’s the same as Vanthryn.
Prince Valanar
Go back to the center of the room and take the upper teleporter (the blue one). It might take a while to activate depending on lag, so just jump around on the teleporter until it works. Once you’re up, take one of the small doors and go to the upper floor, clear the way to Prince Valanar, he’s on the northwestern alcove.
Abilities
- Immune to Stuns or to any form of cc
- Immune to any form of spell interruption
- Shadowbolts for 2K and hits fairly hard. You can try to use line of sight to avoid his shadowbolts.
!!Soul Deflection!! Stop attacking immediately while he channels this. All the damage you do to him is reflected to you while under this spell. Watch out for this one. It’s easy to see when he does it, as he channels violet beams on everyone near him.
Once you kill him, go back to Taunka’le Village and turn in [71] Breaking Through, get [71] The Fall of Taunka’le Village. Keep this quest, don’t turn it in for now, we’ll use it at the end of this chapter.
1. Make sure you don’t kill any animal on the way for now, or you’ll get attacked on sight by the whole camp where we’re going.
If you killed an animal, just wait for the Animal Blood debuff to fade from you or simply jump into some water and it will remove the debuff.
Ride southwest until you hit the road, follow it west to the D.E.H.T.A. Encampment (57,44). Complete the quest [72] A Mission Statement.
A bunch of quests should be available now, take them all:

==Note== From now on kill any Loot Crazed Poacher, Hunter or Diver on your way
2. Go to the field south of the D.E.H.T.A camp, look for Caribou Traps.
Right-click your Pile of Fake Furs while standing next to the traps.
Repeat 8 times.
3. Go west to Lake Kum’uya (53,45), go westwards through the lake while killing 10 Loot Crazed Divers.
4. On the western side of the lake, go up the high bluffs and look for Nedar, Lord of Rhinos (47,44). He roams in the field (as colored on the map).

2. Find a Wooly Mammoth Bull, they should no longer be agressive towards you now. Right-click it to mount it.
Once you mount a Wooly Mammoth Bull, you’ll get the following action bar:
Ability #1 AoE Damage, short cooldown, use it everytime it’s up.
Ability #2 It’s a charge stun. Use it wheenver it’s up. For that, you have to run away to get a little bit of range and then re-cast it.
Ability #3 It’s an AoE Fear and it only works on Kaw’s minions, which you don’t need to fear anyway because they’ll die to Ability #1 very fast.
Basically, kill Kaw’s mount with Ability #1 and then you can “kite” Kaw. Run away from him, use the charge stun and follow it up with Ability #1. Run away again and repeat, you should take no more damage after Kaw’s Mount is dead.
Now that’s you’re prepared, ride northwest to (54,24), you’ll find Kaw the Mammoth Destroyer there. When you get close, he’ll jump on his mount and attack you.
Kill his mount, then kill him and his halberd will appear on the floor.

Get the final quest from D.E.H.T.A Encampment: [72] The Assassination of Harold Lane. You can also turn in extra ears if you got 15 of them to get the buff, which will be help you solo our next quest.
4. This quest has you kill Harold Lane, an elite humanoid located on the northwestern side of Lake Kum’uya (50,42). He can probably be solo’d by any class if done properly, thanks to an item provided for the quest, the Cenarion Horn.
I recommend using the horn right after you start the fight, this will stun Harold Lane for a few seconds and take a large chunk out of his HPs (about 50%), as long as the whole stampede tramples over him. So make sure he doesn’t move. Stand still while you cast the horn.
Then you have to take care of the rest of his health. Harold Lane can be stunned and his movement can be slowed. Use every cooldown you got and you should be fine. Health pot too if needed.
==Tip== Melee classes, when he drops his trap, move away fast before it activates, that way you won’t get rooted.
If you don’t manage to solo it, because of your class or your lack of gear, try to find help, with two people this quest is a pushover, because you get to use 2 Stampedes on poor Harold Lane.
Once you’ve killed him, go back to D.E.H.T.A encampment, turn in [72] The Assassination of Harold Lane. Congratulations on your achievement.

==Tip== Kill the fire totems first before the shamans, they hurt.
Stick to the left while going down and you should eventually find Farseer Grimwalker’s Spirit in a cave to the left:
Kill the 3 shamans channeling around him and then you’ll be able to turn in [71] Farseer Grimwalker’s Spirit, get the follow up [72] Kaganishu.
4. Now go kill Kaganishu, he’s in a little alcove just outside and to the left of the cavity where you just found Farseer Grimwalker’s Spirit.

Then go back to Bor’gorok Outpost.

1. Ride south/southwest to Steeljaw’s Caravan (48,20). Turn in [71] Report to Steeljaw’s Caravan at Grunt Ragefist.
Get his two quests:
- [71] The Honored Dead
- [71] Put Them to Rest
Before you take the quest from the other NPC, Longrunner Proudhoof, read the next paragraph:
The quest [72] We Strike! is an escort. Longrunner Proudhoof will start running and will get ambushed by a bunch of mobs, the first fight might be difficult depending how many mobs you aggroed on the way, so try to be sneaky while following Proudhoof. Use your cooldowns and a pot if needed, he’ll let you rest after the first ambush, no time to loot, just eat/drink fast. The 2nd ambush is rather easy. And finally you’ll have to fight an elite, let Proudhoof tank it as much as possible, this will make it easy.
Now that’s your ready, take the quest [72] We Strike! and good luck.
2. If you were successful, you should have defeated Steeljaw.
First thing, go back the way you came from and loot the corpses you couldn’t loot during the escort.
Look for Ragefist’s Torch in your inventory and put it on an action bar.
Now look around for Dead Caravan Guards/Workers:
Use the torch on them.
Repeat this 10 times and kill stuff in the area until you finish [71] Put Them to Rest.
3. Go back to Grunt Ragefist, turn in [71] The Honored Dead and [71] Put Them to Rest.
4. Go back to Bor’Gork Outpost, turn in [72] We Strike!
Fly to Amber Ledge, turn in [71] Monitoring the Rift: Winterfin Cavern.
Believe it or not, but we’re almost done with Borean Tundra.
==Note== If you didn’t do the quest [71] Breaking Through, now is your last chance. It would be nice to do it, because the follow up is a quest which takes you to the next zone, so it’s quite an efficient way to make the transition. If you don’t manage to do [71] Breaking Through, just abandon it and simply fly to Taunka’le Village. From there follow the road east until you enter Dragonblight. The guide ends here for you, go to the next chapter of my guide: Dragonblight.
If you did [71] Breaking Through, you should have the quest [72] The Fall of Taunka’le Village.
Fly to Taunka’le Village. Turn in [72] The Fall of Taunka’le Village, get [72] Across Transborea.
A Taunka’le Evacuee will follow you. Mount up and ride east, make sure your evacuee follows you.
At one point, he’ll stop and read smoke signals, then start to run very fast. Follow him and he’ll take you to Wartook Iceborn.
Turn in [72] Across Transborea, get the follow up [72] A Tauren Among Taunka.
Go to the Westwind Refugee Camp (13,49). Turn in [72] A Tauren Among Taunka.
This guide ends here. Time to move on to the next chapter: Dragonblight!
