This guide covers the worgen starter zone. As such it is of use for Alliance players only.
Please be aware that this guide is currently based on Cataclysm beta, but it should be fairly accurate when the servers come online on 07 December. As you all know, Cataclysm beta has ended, so the guide remains as-is until the launch of Cataclysm. As soon as the expansion hits the live servers I’m going to level a fresh worgen using this guide to double-check everything again.
I’m trying to explain where everything is in the guide, but most of the objective locations are quite straightforward. If you still get stuck somewhere, try using the built-in quest tracking on the world map, it’s absolutely awesome, it shows exactly where you need to go.
Thanks to Bitsem, coordinates for important locations and NPCs are now included in the guide through level 11 (more coords to come soon [TM]).
Anyway without any more wall of text, let’s go on with the actual guide. 🙂
Please post any feedback, errors, or suggestions as comments.

The Guide
After creating your brand new worgen, you’ll find yourself as an ordinary human citizen in Gilneas City, currently under siege by worgen forces. Your first few levels will take place in an instanced area, similar to the Death Knight starting area.
Level 1
1. Get the quest [1] Lockdown! from Prince Liam Greymane (59.1,24.0)) right in front of you.

- [2] Evacuate the Merchant Square
4. Go a few steps south and get the quest [2] Salvage the Supplies from Gwen Armstead (59.6,27.0). It’s worth noting that there’s a mailbox in the middle of the square, so if you have a BoA item sent from a main character or an account-wide pet, this might be a perfect time to retrieve them.
5. Continue south down the street and start killing Rampaging Worgens. They are all over the place fighting with the city guards. While killing look for Supply Crates near the buildings and collect them.
Also click on Merchant Square Doors.

A green targeting circle will appear when you use it. Target as many worgen as you can to get them to follow you.

6. Turn in [10] The Howling Oak to Genn Greymane. Get the quest [10] Breaking Waves of Change from him.
With this quest the worgen starter questline is done and you can continue with the night elf quests from here on.

Until then, a fond farewell.”
Re: Our arrow, not TomTom’s Gylin, I hate to contradict you, but I was referring to TomTom; and I got TomTom to work in both the Worgen and DK starting zones. The flaw is in WoWPro/WoWPro_Broker.lua, which was using the wrong API function in TomTom, which wll not work in instances or phased zones with different maps.PS: I made a cut for Duchess at https://github.com/downloads/Jiyambi/WoW-Pro-Guides/WoWPro%20v2.1.11Dutchess2.zip that yoiu are welcome to try. It has a modified guide for Worgens. The DK starter is a single zone, 502.
Our arrow, not TomTom’s Duchess, LM’s post was about our own arrow not TomTom’s. I’ll check out your issues later tonight and see if I figure out whats going wrong.
I just posted about this onI just posted about this on the community page for the addon. I cannot get the arrow working for my new worgen. Has this been fixed or is there a fix?
New Arrow TestingI’m going to redo my changes as they are too big. By this next weekend I’ll issue another build and you can test it!
Arrow testingAnything I can help you test, just give me a shout.
Arrows workin in the Worgen zone! (and DK started too)I got the arrow working in the worgen starting zone.Turns out that Blizzard yet again made things slightly inconsistent. It turns out that the mapping between map names and mad id’s is consistent for every map except for 3. There are 3 maps by the name “Gilneas_terrain1” which correspond to maps 545, 679 and 678.I’ll have to start a fresh worgen and see which ones are used and then trim down my changes.PS: Now the arrow has started working in the Scarlet Enclave. Woooot!
Zoneing outYeah, I was just going to punlish a list of map names and ID’s and then change the Z tag to be smarter and try a map ID if it was numeric, then try it as a map name and then try it as a zone name. Building the silly index table is not that expensive at startup time.Yeah, some of the Blizzard API function are bizzare beyond belief.Well, back to getting to level 85 before Easter!
Sure. I was just worriedSure. I was just worried about having guide writers know the map names/ids, but since nobody writes guide files manually these days, we can move to map names.
Just be careful with some APIs functions, they sometimes do funny things ingame. The API that returns the “current” mapID, for example, is linked to the map ingame. If you have the map opened in a zone different than where the player is in, it will give the ID of the opened map instead of the “current”.
On Maps .Vs. ZonesSince Blizzard has shifted away from the strictly geographical (Continent, Zone) pair to the (Map, Floor) system, I suspect we will be in better shape if we convert over. Besides, it is the only system consistent with instances, which do NOT have conformant mappings to the zones, even if they exist inside zones. Never mind the whole phased zone system, which is really map based.In most cases, the leveling module can get by by setting coordinates in the current map sans zone id. Only if you need to get to a different zone/map should you need to switch or specify a Z tag.Of course, we should also strive to be language independent. So we really ought to accept numeric map id’s to be completely kosher.
They are now probably usingThey are now probably using the same map library I was on my own arrow module addon (which I can’t work on it now). The problem is, for some zones, their usual names (as used in our guide files) do not match their “map names”, used by the library/TomTom’s functions.
In my addon, I fixed that with a built-in look-up table (for english guides), that could be copied into our _Mapping code file.
Floors were also confusing, with default value being either 0 or 1.
Way-points for the WorgenI played around with the current version of TomTom and was able to set way-points in the Worgen starting zone, much to my surprise.But the the Leveling guide was not able to set the way-point arrow properly.Turns out that TomTom’s author has completed a set of changes I was whining about back in January and that there is now a new API for setting way-points that we should probably convert to. The change involves changing from a (continent, zone, x, y) coordinate system to a (map, floor, x, y) coordinate system.As a side effect, it would also let us set way-points in instances and in subzones, like the cleft of shadow. However we would need to change the zone names to being the maybe-unique map names. In most cases they are the same, but not all.I’ll report back later on this.
It has to do with the factIt has to do with the fact that the starting zone for Worgen does not technically exist, except for being phased. So unfortunately the waypoints won’t work.
None of this guide seems toNone of this guide seems to work with Tom Tom’s waypoint arrow. As soon as my worgen hit the Darkshore guide, the waypoint arrow appeared, but all the way through levling in Gilneas, not one single arrow :(I dont think the actual waypoints were marked on the map either (but i maybe wrong about that.. can’t remember:S, sorry ).Other than that, spot on with the guide 😀
RE: Breaking Waves of ChangeIf you have “Hero’s Call: Darkshore!” you will be blocked from getting this quest.See http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26385#comments for more info.
Absolutely awesome, ty soAbsolutely awesome, ty so very much! Those little step locaitons make it such a breeze to go through! One question though, I am level 13 and am not able to get the final quest “Genn Greymane. Get the quest [10] Breaking Waves of Change”
Thanks to Bitsem,Thanks to Bitsem, coordinates are now included in the guide through level 11.
Om nom!Deeeelicious! Thanks! 😉
Awesome, sending some yummyAwesome, sending some yummy Karma points your way for that 😉
Poof!I’m a magician! :jawdrop: The coords through the beginning of Level 11 should be in your Inbox. Hope it helps a bit! Thanks for a nice guide! I’ll run through the rest if I get a chance. Now I’m off! *poof*
😉
Things I never thought I’d say…
“Don’t stretch your brother’s face like that!”
“Pointed sticks are NOT toys, regular sticks are fine.”
tarix, Bitsem, thanks fortarix, Bitsem, thanks for the insightful comments, all changes should now be incorporated into the guide, I just updated it.
Bitsem, if you have those coordinates handy, I’d be glad if you could share it with me so I could put them in the guide. I started going through the zone again, but IRL stuff has me going kinda slow, so it would be a major help for me if those coords could just somehow magically pop into my PM inbox here on wow-pro. 😀
Thanks very muchThanks very much 😀
Phasing bug by turning in “[5] Last Stand” workaround*I deleted my workaround, because in the latest patch those issues have been fixed*
———-
@rpotor: Pretty nice work on that guide 😀
Co-ordsIt’s me again. I have tested up to Lv. 8, and kept track of coordinates if you need them.
Also, found a few quest changes. Level 3, Step 8, Turn in “Old Divisions” at Captain Broderick at the bottom of the stairs (57.8,75.7). Then accept “The Prison Rooftop” from him. This is the quest turned in at Lord Darius Crowley (55.2,63.2).
Level 5, Step 10, “The Last Stand” now requires 8 Frenzied Stalker kills, not 10. This quest is still broken.
Level 7, Step 5, “Apparitions in the Orchard” is gone, and Lorna Crowley (37.8,72.8 ) gives you the quest “The Hungry Ettin” right away.
I’m sure there will be more changes in the future of the Beta, but hope this helps a bit.
TestI had already started my Worgen when I found this guide. I tested from Lv. 9 to the end and found it accurate. 🙂 The final quest does take you to Rut’theran Village, but I think that it is finished. You recieve the quest “The Howling Oak” from Krennan Aranas and after that, “The Breaking Waves of Change” from Genn Greymare in The Howling Oak. Basically you start the Night Elf quests, I believe. I only recently got my Beta key, so haven’t leveled any other races. Hope this helps. 🙂
For now, I thought I’d note that there are a few major bugs in the Worgen zone. Work arounds have been posted on You Tube and such. To get past “The Last Stand” I just attacked one of the bucks and let it kill me. That phased me to the graveyard in the next area. The race change option fixed the No Transform bug for me. Maybe this only happens if you create a female worgen? Just a thought.
Great to see so many people working to get these guides finished! You all rock!
1-5 has been checked in to1-5 has been checked in to GitHub in case you want to check it out. I’ll get to 6-12 before release, but it was broken last time I tried it and I started to get a bit sick of the worgen zone. :O
Tarix, thanks very much forTarix, thanks very much for these comments, I will update the guide sometime today. Also thanks for taking up the coding task, IRL got in my way and I couldn’t give as much attention to this project as I wanted to.
You can upload to filefrontYou can upload to filefront or something similar and post the link here, if you’d like me to include what you have so far 🙂
Level 1-5 has been coded forLevel 1-5 has been coded for the addon. I’m going to wait until 6-12 is a little less buggy before starting on that one.
New StepsIn Level 3 between step 8 and 9 there is now an additional quest called The Prison Rooftop. Basically you turn in Old Divisions at the bottom of the stairs, get The Prison Rooftop and then turn it in at the top of the stairs.
I’ve added it to the Addon version of this guide.
Right after acceptingRight after accepting “Salvage the Supplies” you should point out the fact that there is a mailbox in the middle of the square.
This is a great chance to pick up BoA items or account pets that might be sitting in your mailbox.
The recent beta buildThe recent beta build (12857) apparently fixed the worgen zone issues and so I was able to finish the guide.
We can now use addons in the beta, so I’ll add coordinates to the guide soon and when that’s done, I think I’ll start coding the addon version.
Oh, and a tip that might be useful to someone starting a worgen. In the last 2 beta builds I was unable to create new worgen characters. Whenever I selected a worgen in the character creation screen, the client crashed. However on the forums I found a solution: at the login screen, click on the “Options” button, then on the “Sound” button and disable the “Ambient Sounds” checkbox. Doing this fixed my issue and I was able to create worgens again without any problem. Also if there are issues with logging in, or with selecting existing worgen characters, you might try deleting the Cache folder in your WoW Beta folder and see if it solves the problem.
You’re welcome to releaseYou’re welcome to release what you have so far, if you like. It’s looking great! 🙂
Update on the guide progressThe guide is almost finished but unfortunately, the last beta patch brought some serious bugs. My worgen character is stuck at one of the next steps (The Hunt for Sylvanas). The quest is bugged out and there’s no way to continue since I cannot even abandon the quest. This seems to be not just an isolated case, since there are a lot of characters stuck there as well. I’ll try and create a new worgen, do it all over again and see if it bugs out at the same quest. However I hear that another worgen quest is also bugged (The Allens’ Farmstead) and you cannot access the quest giver NPC there.
So anyway, stay tuned but be warned that this guide might be on hold even until the next beta patch, if things stay this bugged.
Oh, you already checked itOh, you already checked it out? That’s fast! 🙂 I just made a comment on the Cataclysm guide sign up page. Anyways, glad you like it, so sure, go ahead and nail my name down on that list under Worgen Starter Guide. I’ll continue polishing this in the days ahead, I already written up the instanced part of the worgen start zone, but it needs formatting and some additional details, but I’m starting to get the hang of it. 🙂 I think I’m now off to sleep but I’ll try and format the existing writeup tomorrow, so expect this guide to grow in the near future. 🙂
Heh, looking nice so far,Heh, looking nice so far, glad someone picked up the project 🙂 Shall I add your name on the sign up page?
