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 Grizzly Hills: Fo’ Grizzle My Shizzle. In fact, 100% of the quests of Grizzly Hills are included in the guide, or at least mentioned as optional.
The only one I didn’t include is a daily quest called [74] Riding the Red Rocket. For two reasons:
1. This quest is only available if your faction controls the Venture Bay lighthouse.
2. It’s rather annoying to do it without a flying mount. I recommend skipping this quest while leveling up and coming back to do it at level 80 and once you have your flying mount.
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.

You should be done with [74] Smoke ‘Em Out very quickly if you bomb the 3 buildings.

Can be slowed and stunned (haven’t checked fear)
Now Finish [74] Keep Them at Bay! before going to the next step.
4. Go to the middle ship (16,80). It’s the same model as the boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet.
Go inside the cabin and clear the way to the last room.
==Warning== I really mean CLEAR the way. Kill all the Venture Co. in your way, even if you are a stealth class.
Once the way is clear, go to the last room where you should see the Element 115.
Loot it. You’ll get the following debuff:
That means it’s useless to mount or to sprint or anything like that. Just run straight back to the quest NPCs. You have only 3 Minutes to get there.
Go as fast as you can, avoid fights, and turn in [74] Seeking Solvent first.
Then turn in the other 3 quests:

1. Go east to Solstice Village (60,40).
Kill Solstice Hunters and Duskhowl Prowlers on sight.
2. Once you’ve killed 12 Solstice Hunters, go to the center of the village.
A few paces south of the bonfire you should see Tatjana on her horse:
Target Tatjana and right-click the Tranquilizer Dart.
Right-click the horse and you’ll be taken back to Sasha.
Turn in:
- [75] Sasha’s Hunt
- [75] Anatoly Will Talk, get [75] A Sister’s Pledge
1. Go back to the center of the village with the bonfire.
Northeast of the bonfire you’ll find a path going down (64,40).
2. Follow that path and you’ll find a cave (65,43).
Go inside and you’ll find Anya.
Turn in [75] A Sister’s Pledge.
Sasha will come, get her quest [75] Hour of the Worg.
==Note== Don’t forget to kill Longhoof Grazers and Duskhowl Prowlers on the way if you still need either of their drops for [75] Nice to Meat You.
1. Go northeast to the isles called the Ruins of Tethys (78,37).
Once you’re on the isles, look around for a School of Northern Salmon:
Get very close to it and right-click the Fishing Net.
Repeat this until you have 6 Northern Salmon. You can find more Schools of Northern Salmon all around those isles.
Tip: The water is shallow here, so you can mount up while looking for schools.
2. Go further northeast to Gavrock (80,34).
Turn in [75] Gavrock, get [75] Runes of Compulsion.
We are really close to Bloodmoon Isle here, so we have the option to do the group quest [75] Hour of the Worg.
Optional: [75] Hour of the Worg
This group quest is supposedly soloable by certain classes (Death Knights, Paladins, Hunters, Warlocks, Druids, etc). But it’s of course much easier to get a 2 or 3-man team for it.
So look for a group while following the rest of my guide, and when you find a group, come back to this section.
1. Swim northeast to Bloodmoon Isle (83,28).
2. Follow the path up and there will be a camp to your right, where you should find a big worgen called Selas (85.5,27.5). Kill it.
3. Get back on the path and further up to your left you’ll find another camp, where you will find Varlam (85,24). Kill him.
4. Once you reach the top of the hill, go around to the tower towards the southern side and you’ll find a big worg called Goremaw. Kill it.
5. Enter the tower, fight your way to the top. There you will find the Shade of Arugal.
Shade of Arugal Strategy
HP: 107,000
Phase 1: Shadowbolts for ~1500 dmg. Goes to Phase 2 at 75-70% HP.
Phase 2: Becomes invulnerable and summons 3 adds. Kill the adds to go back to Phase 1. When he hits 50% HP, he goes to Phase 3.
Phase 3: Becomes invulnerable again. Mind controls a party member which you’ll have to bring down to 35% health.
Once you break the Mind Control, Arugal goes back to Phase 1.
Bring him down to 25% HP and he’ll go to Phase 4.
Phase 4: It’s just like Phase 2, but with 9 adds instead of 3.
Kill the adds, then kill Arugal.
Sasha will show up and help you finish him off during the last phase. After the fight is over, turn in [75] Hour of the Worg.
1. Go south to a summoning circle with 4 dwarves Iron Rune-Weavers channeling (79,44):
Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Brunon will spawn. Kill him.
2. Go northwest to another summoning circle (75,37).
Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Lochli will spawn. Kill him.
3. Go northwest to another summoning circle (72,34).
Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Korgan will spawn. Kill him.
4. Go northwest to another summoning circle (68,30).
Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Druval will spawn. Kill him.
1. Go northeast to Drakil’jin Ruins (71,27).
==Note== Kill Drakkari Protectors and Drakkari Oracles on the way while going north.
2. Further north you’ll find an entrance to the catacombs at (71.5,23).
Look for Drakkari Canopic Jars:
Loot 5 of them.
3. Go deeper in the catacombs until you see a yellow “!” on your minimap (69.5,17.5). If there’s no “!” on the minimap, it means someone else is doint the escort quest, so you’ll have to wait a little.
Go to that room and you’ll find Drakkari Tablets in a corner:
Loot the Drakkari Tablets.
Now talk to Harrison Jones and start the escort quest [75] Dun-da-Dun-tah!
It’s an easy escort quest as long as you let Harrison Jones tank the elite snake for you.
1. After the escort. Kill trolls in the ruins until you’ve looted 5 Sacred Mojo.
Then go to the middle of the Drakil’jin Ruins and find Drakuru’s Brazier, up some broken stairs (71.5,26).
Right-click Drakuru’s Elixir.
Turn in [75] Voices From the Dust, get [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon.
Now kill trolls around Drakil’jin Ruins until you finished [75] Therapy.
Optional – Instance: Drak’Tharon Keep.
Now we’ve got all the quests for Drak’Tharon Keep:
- [74] Search and Rescue
- [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon
So from now on, if you feel like it, you should look for a group for Drak’Tharon Keep. It’s a very nice instance for level 74-76 players, I recommend it.
If you don’t feel like it or if you don’t find a group, you can abandon [74] Search and Rescue, it can easily be picked up in the future at the Granite Springs, if you change your mind. However, do not abandon [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon, as it’s rather annoying to get that quest again if you abandon it.
2. Ride southeast back to Harkor’s Camp. Turn in:
- [75] Therapy
- [75] Dun-da-Dun-tah!
- [75] It Takes Guts…, get [75] Drak’aguul’s Mallet
1. Now look for Drak’aguul. A big troll who spawns at (74,30) and patrols on the path towards Drakil’jin Ruins.
Kill him, loot the Drakil’jin Mallet.
Go back to Harkor’s Camp, turn in [75] Drak’aguul’s Mallet, get [75] See You on the Other Side.
2. Ride to Drakil’jin Ruins, go to the gongs infront of the catacombs entrance (71.5,25):
Right-click the Drakil’jin Mallet while being very close to the one of the gongs.
You’ll die shortly after, it’s normal.
3. Go inside the catacombs and go deeper until you find Gan’jo.
Turn in [75] See You on the Other Side, get [75] Chill Out, Mon.
Right next to Gan’jo you should see Gan’jo’s Chest:
Right-click it and loot the Snow of Eternal Slumber.
Talk to Gan’jo and ask him to return you to the living.
Go back to the previous room.
Target an Ancient Drakkari Warmonger or Soothsayer and right-click the Snow of Eternal Slumber.
Follow the Ancient Drakkari when it starts to run and then loot the Drakkari Spirit Particles after its mummy burns.
Repeat this 5 times.
4. Get out of the ruins, mount up and ride back to Harkor’s Camp.
Turn in [75] Chill Out, Mon, get [75] Jin’arrak’s End.
1. Ride to the Drakil’jin Ruins again.
Go inside the catacombs and look for a Sacred Drakkari Offering in the first room:
Loot it.
Right-click the Drakkari Spirit Dust from your inventory.
2. Get out and go to the gongs just ouside the catacombs.
Right-click the Infused Drakkari Offering from your inventory.
3. Go back to Harkor’s Camp. Turn in [75] Jin’arrak’s End.

Right-click the Shard of Gavrock.
3. Go further west to Redwood Trading Post, turn in [75] A Bear of an Appetite.
4. Go southeast to another of those blue glow stones (74,44).
Right-click the Shard of Gavrock.
1. Go further southeast to Prospector’s Point (77,48.5).
Turn in [75] Check Up on Raegar, get the two quests from here:
- [75] The Captive Prospectors
- [75] The Perfect Plan
2. Go south/slightly southwest to a dwarven building at (76.5,55).
Kill dwarves and golems until one drops a Dun Argol Cage Key.
Once you have one, go inside the building and free Prospector Gann from his cage:
==Note== Kill every Iron Rune-Smith on the way until you’ve looted the Golem Blueprint Section 1, 2 and 3.
3. A few steps west you should find a path going up to the upper tier.
Once you’re up on the upper tier, go straight south and you should find Prospector Torgan in a cage, just outside of a dwarven building (76,58).
Free him.
4. Follow the stairs southwest and go all the way to the top until you find another dwarven building (76,62).
Outside the building you should see two cages. Prospector Varana is in one of those cages. Free her.
Now go inside the building and kill Iron Rune-Smiths until you’ve looted the Golem Blueprint Section 1, 2 and 3.

Repeat 8 times.
Finish gathering War Golem Parts for [75] Why Fabricate When You Can Appropriate? while doing this.

- [75] Cultivating an Image, get [75] Put on Your Best Face for Loken

Ride back to Dun’Argol.
Once in Dun’Argol, right-click the Overseer Disguise Kit. Yes, it works while mounted, and only if you are already mounted!
2. Ride up to the next tier with the two dwarven buildings.
First, go to the building on your right-hand side. You should find Rune-Smith Durar inside (75,57).

Get out of the building.

Go to Hierophant Thayrenn, turn in:
- [75] Vordrassil’s Seeds
- [75] Vordrassil’s Sapling
Get the follow up [75] Ursoc, the Bear God.
You should be level 77 or somewhere around it. If you are ahead, that’s great, keep following the guide normally, don’t skip anything. If you are behind, that’s not a problem either, just keep following the guide normally. You’ll catch up eventually and there will be a lot of extra circuits at the end anyway 😉
Level 77
Optional: [75] Ursoc, the Bear God.
Fly to Westfall Brigade Encampment.
1. Ride west until a narrow path going up at (51.5,27).
2. Follow this path up and you’ll find Tur Ragepaw (52,24).
Now before you talk to him, read the following paragraph.
Despite being a 3-man group quest, [75] Ursoc, the Bear God is soloable for tank and healer classes if you use the help of Tur Ragepaw correctly.
- If you are a tank or pet class (Protection Warrior, Paladin, Feral Druid, Death Knight, Hunter, Warlock). Tell Tur Ragepaw “We could use a healer“. He will heal your tank or your pet through the fight.
- If you are a healer class, tell Tur Ragepaw “Assume your druidic bear form, Tur.” And he will tank for you as long as you keep him alive with your heals.
- For other classes/specs it might be too difficult to solo the quest. With my mage in quest greens I couldn’t do it. It might be possible for rogues and dps warriors if they ask Tur Ragepaw to assume the role of a healer, depending on gear.
If you can’t solo it, try to look for a group. Duo’ing this quest should be easy.
==WARNING== During the fight, Ursoc will release a small black sludge called Blood of the Old God. Kill it ASAP, it only has 2K HPs, but it’s very annoying (does 1K damage + stun every 5 seconds or so).
After the fight is over, target Ursoc’s corpse and use the Purified Ashes of Vordrassil.
==Note== You can also use the Purified Ashes of Vordrassil on the corpse even if someone else killed Ursoc.
If you can’t find a group, just save this quest for when you reach level 80.
We’re done with the Grizzly Hills. It’s time to go to Zul’Drak. Please follow my guide to Zul’Drak!
I hope you enjoyed this guide. If you want to return the favor, please try to contribute.

Very helpful guides.Your guides are excellent; very clear and easy to follow. I have recommended them to several guildies.
CoordinatesJust wanted to say that the coordinates for the vordrassil’s heart cave are incorrect in the addon version, its actually at 40.7, 53.8. Thanks!
Complete Guide to Zul’DrakComplete Guide to Zul’DrakFor players interested in continuing, I’ve written a complete guide to every quest in Zul’Drak.Thanks to Jame and the WoW Pro community for all of the awesome guides!
crazed furlborg bloodThanks for all your hard work on these fantastic guides.
I killed a frostpaw shaman and it also dropped crazed furlborg blood.
It might be worth mentioning as you go past blue sky logging camp several times you can do the pvp dailies again on another day and you can still get the easy xp not just rep and cash as on some of the other dailies . 80000xp not to be sneezed at especially on a quiet server.
Haze Leafs!Just a small note:
==Note== From now on, look for Hazelwood Bushes on the way and loot 3 Haze Leafs:
I think you should scrap “from now on”. It makes it seem like you’re not going to be completing this quest straight after. So it’d look like this:
==Note== Look for Hazelwood Bushes on the way and loot 3 Haze Leafs:
Just cos wherever you’ve previously said from now on you don’t complete the quest then and there.
But otherwise awesome guides dude. Been using them since TBC and they are the best levelling guide i have found so far. Very comprehensive and informative. Props Jame.
ThanksHi Jame,
I’ve been following your guide all the way from 30 and I’m pleased to say that upon finishing the Grizzly Hills portion, I am exactly 952 XP away from dinging 80 🙂
Thanks very much for all of these, they are amazing.
LoL, I thought the sameLoL, I thought the same thing at the time! 😀
Much EasierFor the Escape from silver quest, I messed up, but find an easier way to do it =P
It is partially exploiting I suppose, but was an accident =P
Any point after you get onto the back of his house, just hit the Red Arrow (leave Vehicle button) and then from there you can mount up and if you have an epic mount you can keep up perfectly fine. The werewolves stop spawning to chase you, AND if you ride close enough to the horse, you can even re-mount right before you get into town =)

Zul’Drak –> Sholazar –>Zul’Drak –> Sholazar –> Storm Peaks –> Icecrown.
Hmmm anyone?Hello all,
I created a deathknight a while ago leveled through TBC until i hit 68, i arrived at Borean Tundra did some quests, went to Dragonblight did some quests, Howling Fjord and finally Grizzly Hills. However im 300K off lvl 76 with almost all quests done in grizzly, where should i go now?
Thanks in advance,
Josh
QuestOn “Raining Down Destruction”, it is now possible to pick up more than one boulder at a time.
Hey Jame!
Keep up the goodHey Jame!
Keep up the good work!
Just a little note: When I first quested with my mage, I found it annoying that the 2 quest items’ droprate from ‘Longhoof Grazers’ and ‘Duskhowl Prowlers’ for the quest ‘[75] Nice to Meat You’ was very low, but now it drops with 100% chance!
Cheers,
Sly
Jame is planning to writeJame [b][i]is[/i][/b] planning to write these guides, but he is currently working on the addon. Check out the [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/node/1743]release dates page[/url] for a list of what he’s planning to work on in what order, and follow [url=http://jamewowpro.blogspot.com/]Jame’s blog[/url] for updates.
Other zones?Hi Jame, I love your guide and I’ve posted before with good feedback. One question though, why are you not writing guides for Icecrown and Storm Peaks? It would be very useful…
And hit 78At
Go to Hierophant Thayreen, turn in:
* [74] A Possible Link
* [75] Children of Ursoc
Get the two follow ups:
* [75] Vordrassil’s Seeds
* [75] Vordrassil’s Sapling
Really neat.
Mr. FloppyFirst time I saw this quest, there was a little girl standing by while a bunny fought with a bear. I eventually killed the bear while running around trying to find the quest giver. No loot, but the girl and bunny disappeared. Then they showed up. I’m not sure exactly what was going on, but I suspect someone started, then abandoned the quest.
Then I got the quest. Mr. Floppy was rescued from the Worg with plenty of life left, then he flops down dead. Ok, I keep waiting, he never revives. Dang. So I abandon the quest.
I picked it up again, this time when she tells him not to go toward the light, and then thanks me for saving him, he comes back to life. (I got the dialog before, just no Mr. Floppy back to life).
One neat thing is the number of locations with “inns” (where you can sleep for XP boost). E.g. Westfall Brigade Encampment. I always sleep on beds or rugs in tents if I have to log out near one, just a habit I’ve picked up, was neat to see the zzz spring up. I’ve noticed that several places in the zone, no standard inn, but an “inn” location (with an innkeeper/hearthstone set).
Nice touch they added.
Hit 77 and got cold weather flyingRight about the Vordrassil quests. It is frankly amazing what it is like to use my flying carpet and zip about.
First time I’ve had a very fast flying mount (never did afford one in Outland) and man, does it make a difference.
I’m really enjoying the guide still.
Thank you.
Though for my alt, I’d love an “alternative route” guide that basically might be slower but picks up all the quests that usually get skipped. Kind of like my Deathknight is in Slithis right now.
While you are right, you’reWhile you are right, you’re sort of beating a dead horse here, we’re already sorted this out.
Besides is ExceptAnd i’m guessing english isn”t your first language either Arkan.
Just thought I’d bring it to YOUR attention, used as a preposition, “besides” means other than; except:
An example, There’s no one here besides Bill and me. Or, “Get all the quests from here BESIDES [74] The Magical Kingdom of Dalaran:” is perfectly correct…
Minor corrections..Cool, I finally get to help!
At the beginning you say:
Gather 5 Blackroots Stalks and kill all the Grizzly Bears you see in the area
But you haven’t gotten the quest for the Grizzly’s yet (and you do them later..)
riding the red rocket+dailiesi’m not sure if you mentioned this in your guide, but you should add that you should do the dailys every day, its 2 bars in like 40 mins. Also, riding the red rocket is like a 3 minute quest, if you have control of venture bay, i dont see why not do it. there’s a youtube video (search riding the red rocket), you could link it but idk if theres copyright or something.
last but not least, id like to say THANKS SO MUCH JAME, your guides are awesome, I’ve been following them since level 58 and I’ve been leveling so much faster.
Elite mob @ venture bayHey james,
Once again your guide rocks! I’m lvl 77 atm, leveled 2 levels in just 1 day with this guide.
Well, in venture bay you got to kill an elite mob. And you didn’t know if she could be feared. So yes, she can be feared.
Keep up the good work!!

3. Go southwest and kill Captain Zorna (13.5,80). She stands under a canopy, on the docks next to the westernmost ship.
She’s elite but she’s quite easy for any class.
HP: 30,000
Avg. Hit on Cloth: 800
Can be slowed and stunned (haven’t checked fear)
