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.

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.
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:
Go to Howling Fjord. Simply take the zeppelin from the Undercity, there’s a new zeppelin tower right next to the old one. It will fly you to Vengeance Landing.
Get the new flight path.
Gather all quests:
- [71] The New Plague
- [71] Let Them Eat Crow
- [71] War is Hell
1. Go southwest to the Bleeding Vale (75,33). There you will find two things we need:
Forsaken Corpses / Alliance Corpses, target them and right-click the Burning Torch.
Right-click the Plaguehound Cage from your inventory. This will summon a Plaguehound acting as your pet.
Use the Sic’em! ability from your hound to fetch Fjord Crows (there are tons of them flying around here). And then help him kill the crow.
Stay in this area until you’ve burned 10 Fallen Combatant and looted 5 Crow Meat.
Right-click the Crow Meat 5 times.
2. Go southeast to the wrecked ship at (81,35).
Look for Intact Plague Containers.
They can be found on the ship’s deck and also inside the ship’s cargo. Loot 10 of them.

- [71] War is Hell, get [71] Reports from the Field
- [71] Let Them Eat Crow, get [71] Sniff Out the Enemy
4. Follow the coast northwards while killing Giant Tidecrawlers on your way, they drop the Giant Toxin Glands we need.
Keep going north until you see a yellow “?” on your minimap, labelled “Dragonskin Scroll” (77,20). Go inside the cave, right-click the scroll, turn in [71] Sniff Out the Enemy and get [71] The Dragonskin Map.
Now go back towards Vengeance Landing while killing Giant Tidecrawlers until you have 3 Giant Toxin Glands.
At Vengeance Landing, turn in:
- [71] Spiking the Mix, get [71] Test at Sea
- [71] The Dragonskin Map, get [71] The Offensive Begins
Put the Plague Vials on an action bar. We’ll use them during the bombing mission we’re about to do. It’s quite an easy bombing mission really, so I don’t need to explain much. The bat will fly you way south to a fleet of alliance ships, you simply have to bomb the NPCs on those ships with your Plague Vials.
Go talk to the flight master called Bat Handler Camille, dismount, then click on the text. Complete the bombing mission.
Turn in [71] Test at Sea, get [71] New Agamand.
1. Ride south/southwest to Deathstalker Razael (78,35). Talk to him and click on the text.
2. Go about 200 yards southeast to Dark Ranger Lyana (79,37). She’s the only Blood Elf among those NPCs and wears glowing red daggers, easy to spot. She runs off sometimes to fight the alliance forces, but she’ll be back soon.
Talk to her and click on the text.
3. Ride back to Vengeance Landing, turn in [71] Reports from the Field, get [71] The Windrunner Fleet.

6. Go north to Dark Ranger Lyana, turn in [71] Guide Our Sights, get [71] Landing the Killing Blow.
1. Go southeast across the barricades, follow the coast until you find Sergeant Lorric (82,41), he stands in between two cannons. If he’s not there, it means someone killed him recently, so just kill stuff in the area while waiting for him to respawn.
2. Face southwest and you should see a hill. Go there and kill Captain Olster (81,43).
3. Go straight east from here you should find Lieutenant Celeyne (83,43). Kill her.
At the same spot you should find Apothecary Hanes, get his quest [71] Trail of Fire and escort him.
This will take you back to Dark Ranger Lyana. Turn in [71] Landing the Killing Blow, get [71] Report to Anselm.

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

There are two other quests:
- [71] Disarmament
- [71] Ingvar Must Die
They are both given by Dark Ranger Marrah. She stands inside the instance portal, on the first set of stairs leading up.
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 3 quests. They can easily be picked up in the future anyway, if you change your mind.
1. Ride southwest to Vengeance Lift (73,35). Take the lift and then ride southwest to the Horde Encampment at (71,39).
Turn in [71] The Offensive Begins at Sergeant Gorth, get [71] A Lesson in Fear.

- Ulf the Bloodletter (spawns right in the middle of the camp)
- Gunnar Thorvardsson (spawns next to the tower)
Only kill in this area or it won’t trigger the bosses.
Whenever you kill one of the bosses, right-click the Forsaken Banner next to their corpse.
==Note== You can actually plant the banner in their corpses even if someone else did the killing.
3. Go back to Sergeant Gorth, turn in [71] A Lesson in Fear, get the two follow ups:

Now just kill Vrykuls in this town until you have 16 kills.

Clear the way southwest to Bjorn Halgurdsson (64,39).
Target him, right-click the Vrykul Insult and run back to Lydell.
Let Lydell tank, do nothing at the start of the fight. If you got any abilities to lower or reset your threat, use them. This should be easy.
If you’re sucessful, turn in [71] Adding Injury to Insult.

Then right-click one of the chapters to combine them together, you’ll get the Book of Runes.
2. Now let’s find Runed Stone Giants. They spawn at various stone circles in Giant’s Run.
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 hit really hard, but can be kited and stunned. Melee classes will probably have troubles to solo them, so they should try to find a group. You really must try hard to finish that quest, because it has several follow ups.

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.
==Note== If you fail, you can go get a new stone giant pet and try again, every 5 minutes.
Good luck.
