Leveling Guides

Guides to help you level up your character on Horde and Alliance.

Leveling guides on wow-pro are mostly focused on questing. Questing is the way to go and is a lot better than grinding in every possible way, especially when you follow guides which have optimized quest circuits.

Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide


Now also available as an Addon!

If you need guides for any other level range please check out this page.


Tips
If you don't want to try the Addon Version, here's how to enjoy the guides as much as possible, even if you don't have a 2nd monitor, you can either:

1. Print the guides. There is a "Printer Friendly Version" link at the bottom of every guide, you just have to click on it. However, that might be expansive (and probably expensive), because the guides are big, very big. Another downside is that my guides are updated very frequently, so if you print it you'll miss the latest updates.

2. Playing WOW in Windowed Mode feels very comfortable while following along with this guide.

Click on "Apply".

Your screen will look exactly as if you were playing wow in full screen mode, besides you will be able to ALT-TAB to the guide INSTANTLY.

This is how I play wow while following my guide, when I don't feel like booting up my 2nd computer Smiling

Introduction

This guide starts at level 30, if you need guides for any other level range (from 1-30 for example) please take a look at this page. This guide is not a follow up of any guide, however it will be to your advantage if you did Boston's Leveling Guide, because a lot of flight path gathering is done there: Boston's Alliance Leveling Guide.

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!

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.

  • When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.


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:

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

    Every time you pass by an auction house, try to buy the following items:
  • 3 Stacks of Wool Cloth (Needed at level 30)
  • 4 Lesser Bloodstone Ore (Can be used from level 32+ but also later, still worth it until level 43), don't spend more than 2g on this.

These items might not always be available at the AH, so start checking early.

The Guide

Before we start, I highly recommend that you get your level 30 mount. There will be more and more traveling the higher in levels we get. It will save you a tremendous amount of time in the long run.

Level 30

First we need to get to Forest Song in Ashenvale. If you are still in Stormwind, go to the docks and take the boat to Auberdine. Then either fly directly to Forest Song or if you don’t have that flight path yet, just fly to Astranaar then follow the main road all the way east until you get to Forest Song (86,47).

Once you are there, get the following quests :

  • [30] The Howling Vale
  • [32] Vile Satyr! Dryads in Danger!

Also get the new flight path.

1. Go directly west of Forest Song until you get to Xavian (78,45). There you should see a Anilia, an NPC lying on the floor. Carefully clear around her and turn your quest in, get the follow up. North of the NPC you should see a gate giving way to a path leading down a little. There you should see a few satyrs and the NPC we need to kill: Geltharis. He is level 32 but don’t worry, he is a rather easy kill and can be pulled solo, provided you clear the other two satyrs in front of him. Kill him and loot his branch.

2. Go west through the lake and then follow the path marked on the map until you hit the main road. Follow it northeast until about (55,34) where you’ll be able to go west into the mountains. At (53,37) you should see a cave entrance with Terrowolves in front. Clear your way inside (the cave is actually just a passage way) and you’ll be in some sort of valley. Clear your way down this book:

Right-click it.

Now we're gonna get a new flight path. Go north and enter Felwood. In Felwood follow the road until you find the Emerald Sanctuary. Get the new flight path.

3. Fly back to Forest Song. Turn both quests in and get the follow up [30] Velinde Starsong from Sentinel Melyria Frostshadow.

Fly to Auberdine. If you don't like grinding and plan to skip the optional grinding circuit later on, make Auberdine your home location. If not, just proceed.

From Auberdine, take the boat going from the northern dock to Rut’theran Village (or just fly there if you already have that flight path). Go to Darnassus and follow the path to the Craftmen’s Terrace. There you’ll see a yellow "!" on the minimap. You can turn in your Wool Cloth that you bought earlier here to gain experience and reputation with the city. You can do that in other cities too, use this as a means of catching up in exp whenever you need. I didn’t include it as a strict requirement beside the first wool cloth turn in because it’s simply very expensive.

Once you are done, follow the path further until you get to Thyn’tel Bladeweaver, turn in your quest and get the follow up [30] Velinde's Effects. Now go to the Tradesmen’s Terrace.

At (62,82) you’ll find a chest which you need to open and loot. Go back to the previous NPC and turn the quest in. Take the follow up [30] The Barrens Port.

We are going to do some traveling / flight path gathering combined with some questing at this point. This will allow us to speed things up for the rest of the guide and to avoid grinding. If you don’t want to run around at the moment, you can use Jame’s original grinding spot (check the “grinding circuit” below) to grind your way to 31. Might certainly be faster especially if you have rested bonus but you will take more time to get certain flight paths later in the guide.

Anyway, before that, we're going to gather a last flight path:

  • In Short: Go to Theramore by boat, in Theramore learn the new flight path. If you plan to do the grinding circuit, go to the inn, make it your home location. If not, keep your HS set to Auberdine.

    Then go to Thousand Needles.

  • In Details: From Darnassus, fly to Auberdine, take the boat to Stormwind. Take the Deeprun Tram to Ironforge. Then fly to Menethil Harbor. Grab the Menethil Harbor flight path if you don't arleady have it. Then take the boat to Theramore (It is the boat that stops at the southern pier). When in Theramore, find the Gryphon Master and get the flight path. If you plan to do the grinding circuit, go to the inn, make it your home location. If not, keep your HS set to Auberdine.

    After that, go through Dustwallow Marsh by following the road northwest and then south to the Barrens. When in the Barrens, go south toThousand Needles, go down the great lift (don't attack the guard just run past him, take the elevator and keep going until he forgets you).

At the bottom of the Great Lift, you should see a body at (31,24), loot the body, get Henrig Lonebrow's Journal, right-click it to get the quest [27] Lonebrow's Journal.

In Thousand Needles, go west until you reach the border of Feralas, and find the alliance outpost: Thalanaar (5,17). Turn in [27] Lonebrow's Journal, don't get the follow up, unless you plan to do the Razorfen Kraul instance (now is a good level to do it, by the way).

Get the new flight path from here.

== OPTIONAL GRINDING CIRCUIT ==

Skip this circuit if you don't like grinding. The other alternative will probably be slower, because it will involve a lot of running around. It's up to you.

Go southeast along the mountain, keep going until you hit Roguefeather Den (27,51). It's grinding time! Don't worry, there will be a lot of questing after that, but you are gonna kill these harpies until those two goals are achieved:

  • you hit level 31+
  • you obtain 25 Vibrant Plumes

The harpies are lvl 28-30, drop cash and silk cloth. There are a lot of them and they respawn fast. (Make sure to kill the harpies that are down on the ground and those that are in the cave up on the hill) With the 25 Vibrant Plumes you can get 60 Tickets at the Darkmoon Faire, you can then trade 50 Tickets for a 14 Slot Bag, which is a big plus at this level (unless you are a twink). Sadly the Darkmoon Faire is not always available, check this Darkmoon Faire Necklace Guide to know when the Darkmoon Faire will be available, and put your Vibrant Plumes in bank until then. If you don't want the bag, you can either auction those plumes (they sell nicely) or save them up for your future epic necklace.

== END OF OPTIONAL GRINDING CIRCUIT (if you did the optional grinding circuit, skip to level 31 right away) ==

If you don't do the the optional grinding circuit, hearthstone back to Auberdine.
Fly to Forest Song. Leave the village to the south and follow the main road west until (67,71), from there follow the path south. At the border to the Barrens you need to run past the horde guards without being noticed:

If you go around to the left at the border, the small log wall has fallen down and can just be jumped over by anyone and there are no guards in sight

Go southeast until you hit Ratchet, be careful to make a big circle around The Crossroads. At Ratchet take the flight path, go to the docks and turn in [30] The Barrens Port at Warfmaster Dizzywig, take the follow-up [30] Passage to Booty Bay.
Take the boat to Booty Bay. There turn in [30] Passage to Booty Bay at Caravaneer Ruzzgot and take the follow up [30] The Caravan Road. Get the flight path (which is on the top floor of the building which faces the inn) and fly to Darkshire.

Turn in [30] The Caravan Road at Clerk Daltry and take the follow up then go talk to Jonathan Carevin and turn it in and get the follow up [30] The Scythe of Elune. If you did sufficient questing in Darkshire before you should be able to get the quest [31] Worgen in the Woods (step 3 of the quest line) from Calor. If you can’t you’ll have to grind about 5000 exp later on (or enough to be able to ding 31, depending on how much exp you already have, we’ll see about that later though).

For now follow the road south and go towards the cave at (73,75). There you should see the Worgens you need for one of your quest. Clear your way inside while killing them but be VERY careful as you approach the cave as the named inside the cave Gutspill (level 32) has a HUGE aggro range, on top he comes with a guard so first clear around the cave at a safe distance then regen full mana and health, have your cooldown abilities up as well as a pot if possible and go for the mobs in the cave.

Clear your way to the bottom of the cave where you should see a mound looking like this:

Loot it then fight your way out and make sure you kill enough mobs for [31] Worgen in the Woods before you go back to Darkshire (also make sure that you aren’t more than 10k exp away from dinging). If you couldn’t take that quest in the first place, grind here until you are about 5k exp away from dinging 31.

At Darkshire turn in [31] Worgen in the Woods and get the follow up which you turn in as well at Jonathan Carevin. Then turn in the other quest and take the follow up [30] Answered Questions. If your hearthstone is up, use it to go back to Auberdine.
If it's not up, go to Stormwind and take the boat to Auberdine and then fly to Darnassus. Go back to the Warrior’s Terrace and turn in [30] Answered Questions.

Congratulations on level 31.

Turn in [31] Hemet Nesingwary Jr. Get the quest [30] Welcome to the Jungle from Barnil Stonepot and turn in it at Hemet Nesingwary Jr. This should unlock several other quests, get them all beside [40] The Green Hills of Stranglethorn.

No need to take the Green Hills of Stranglethorn quests (the one with the chapters), it will just encumber your quest log for now. You will complete each chapter when you get the right pages. So while you hunt always look out for these:

1. Kill River Crocolisks which can be found all along the river in northern Stranglethorn Vale until you find 2 Large Crocolisk Skins. While you search for crocs you can also kill Young Tigers close to the river for Tiger Mastery.

2. Then kill 10 Young Tigers (or as much as you still got left)
Tigers can be found mostly south and around the Nesingwary camp.

3. Kill Young Panthers, they are mostly found on the other side of the river to the east. (41,10).

4. Go further northeast to the Kurzen Camp (44,11) and kill 15 Kurzen Jungle Fighters as well as Kurzen Medecine Men until you get 7 Jungle Remedies (might take a while). Also you'll need a Fern Extract from one of the piles of crates scattered around the Kurzen Compound.

5. Once all 4 quests are done go turn 2 of them in (besides Supply and Demand, which you will turn in later) at the Rebel Camp where you get the follow up: [38] Special Forces..

6. At the Nesingwary camp, turn in the other two and get the follow ups:

  • [33] Tiger Mastery

7. Go west until you reach a plateau (30,9). Up there you can find Panthers and Tigers. Kill 10 of each.

8. Further southwest on the plateau you should find Stranglethorn Raptors, kill 10.

9. Go south and down the plateau until you find the troll camp at Bal'lal Ruins (29,20) Get 15 bloodscalp ears from the trolls here. Be careful though if you are a melee class, they enrage and start to really hurt towards the end. If you don't have enough trolls there is another camp northeast at the Tkashi Ruins (33,15).

10. Go west until you hit the shore, and move along the shore towards the north until you find Crystal Spine Basilisks. If you run short on Basilisks, there is more on the lower plateau to the east along the shore. If there aren't any basilisks just go kill some trolls until they respawn. Kill basilisks until you get 10 Singing Crystal Shards.

11. After that, take a swim westwards until you hit the island at loc (21,22), you will have to go towards the middle of the island so the quest [37] The Stone of the Tides is completed, but be careful with the lvl 37ish elementals on the isle.

Hearthstone to Booty Bay.

==Note== If you already have the 4x Lesser Blood Stone Ore (shopping list), you can turn in [37] Favor for Krazek and get the follow up [37] Return to Corporal Kaleb. If you don't have it, it's ok, keep checking the Booty Bay AH and the Stormwind AH everytime you get the chance. Don't spend more than 2 Gold on this though. When you get the ore, don't forget to turn it in during our next Booty Bay trip, get the follow up and turn it in at the Rebel Camp next time we go there. I won't remind you, so don't forget it. If at level 43 you still haven't found the ores, just abandon the quest.

Fly to the Rebel Camp. From there go south to Nesingway Expedition Camp and turn all quests, get all follow ups:

Level 33


Go back to the Rebel Camp and fly to Menethil Harbor.


==Note== If you followed Boston's Guide, you should already have done the quests from the Dwarves at Dun Modr, so just skip the next 4 paragraphs and go straight to Refuge Pointe in Arathi Highlands.

1. From there follow the road east until you get to an intersection, there go north until you see a camp with dwarves that have a few quests. Take all three quests and start clearing your way into the fortress before you. Right at the start you should find plenty of Dark Iron Dwarves. Inside the building you’ll find all the other mobs that you need.

2. Once [30] The Dark Iron War is completed, go southeast along the mountain until you get to a camp. You should found Balgaras the Foul in the camp which is the most to the southeast. Kill him and loot his ear.

3. Go back to the Dwarven Camp and turn in both quests.

Then go north over the bridge to Arathi Highlands and half way over the bridge you’ll see an entrance to the right. Enter and go down the stairs (be full health/mana). All the way on the bottom you’ll find a corpse with a question mark. Turn in your quest and get the follow up.

4. Run back to the Dwarven Camp and turn your quest in at Khag Garmason. Then go back to the bridge but this time cross it and then go right over a wooden bridge. You’ll see a camp with dwarves and in the middle a wagon with barrels looking like this:

Clear your way to the wagon and loot it, then run back to the Dwarven Camp in Wetlands, turn your quest in and take the follow up.

This time cross the bridge for good and follow the path north inside Arathi Highlands until you reach Refugee Pointe. Get the flight path here and turn in your quest.


Repair and sell junk then exit the camp and go back to the main road. Follow it west / northwest until you reach Hillsbrad Foothills. There follow the road going east / northeast until you get to the second intersection, there go south until you reach Southshore.

Get the two quests: [29] Missing Crystals and [30] Down the Coast.

1. On the western side of the shore which is right next to Southshore you’ll find the murlocs needed for [30] Down the Coast.

2. Once you are done with murlocs, go back to Southshore and from there follow the path north until you get to an intersection. There go east until you get to another intersection where you should see a half-destroyed tower (56,36). Clear your way inside and loot the unopened crate.

Run back to Southshore and turn both quests in. Don’t get follow ups for now. You should be level 34 by now. Hearthstone back to Booty Bay.

level 34


Fly to Stormwind and while you are on gryffon (or in Booty Bay), ask in general channel if anyone has any page you need, and trade your spare pages in exchange or just buy them, they go for 10-15 silver on average. You can also check the Booty Bay auction house for missing pages. I suggest you even buy them overpriced (Offer 20-30 Silver for a page and you should get it quickly). The sooner you complete the page collection, the better for your bag space Sticking out tongue.

In Stormwind, get the quest [35] James Hyal from Connor Rivers in the Magic Quarters. (51.1,95.5).

Since you are lvl 34 now, go train if you wish to do so.

Once you are done, fly back to Booty Bay. Time to hunt again!

1. When you are done, fly to Rebel Camp. Run south/southwest towards the area north of Grom'Gol Camp. You should find plenty of Lashtail Raptors there. Kill them as much as needed for the quest [36] Raptor Mastery.

2 & 3. When done with raptors, you should hit the river to the east and search along the banks for Snapjaw Crocolisks. At the same time you can start heading to the Venture co. Camp next to Lake Nazferiti and kill Geologists there (44,20), they drop the "tumbled crystals" you need for [36] Hostile Takeover. You can find crocolisks on both sides of the river, all around Lake Nazferiti[ and all the way down to Mizjal Ruins. Keep killing Goblins and Crocolisks until you get both quests complete.

4. When done with that, head hwest until you hit the area in between Bal'al Ruins and Tkashi Ruins (33,15). There you wil find Elder Stranglethorn Tigers and kill 10 of them.

5. Once done, go to Nesingwary Camp and turn in

  • [35] Tiger Mastery, get the follow up [37] Tiger Mastery
  • [36] Raptor Mastery, get the follow up [41] Raptor Mastery

Also complete any chapter to get rid of pages taking up bag space.

6. Go northeast until you hit the Kurzen Camp, this time go straight for the cave there and kill Commandos and Headshrinkers. Careful the Commandos are stealthers.

7. When done with that go southwest to find Sin'dall. Sin'dall is on top of a hill at (31,17) right in the middle of Bal'al and Tkashi ruins. It is definitely soloable at lvl 34, just make sure all your long cooldown abilities are up.

Go to Nesingway Expedition Camp and turn in [37]Tiger Mastery. Continue to Rebel Camp and turn in your quest as well, get the follow up as well as [38] Kurzen's Mystery. Now hearthstone or fly to Booty Bay and turn in your quests as well, do not get follow ups. Get your turtle meat from the bank and fly to Southshore.

Gather all the quests in Southshore, you should have:

  • [32] Farren's Proof
  • [33] Hints of a New Plague?
  • [33] Syndicate Assassins
  • [34] Costly Menace
  • [36] Crushridge Bounty

And [31] Soothing Turtle Bisque which you can complete immediately because you already got 10 Turtle Meat. You can buy the soothing spices from the merchant in the first house to the right when entering Southshore from the north.

Don't bother with [34] Bartolo's Yeti Fur Cloak unless you are a Leatherworker or got a Leatherworker friend who can make a Hillman's cloak. You can buy a Bolt of Woolen Cloth at the auction house or ask a tailor.

Once you are ready, go to the western shore and start killing murlocs again. Kill these until you:

  • Get 10 murloc heads
  • Are 3k exp (or less) away from level 35

When that is done go back to Southshore and turn the quest in, get the follow up. Speak with Marshal Redpath in Southshore, get the follow up and talk to Lieutenant Fahren again. Get the follow up [32] Stormwind Ho!.

Congratulations on level 35.

Level 35


Sell and repair (there's an armorsmith behind a small house next to the inn).

In Southshore, go to the inn and make it your home location.

1. Time to hunt Nagas now. The ones you need are on the eastern shore, right next to the town. Kill 10 Daggerspine Shorehunters and 10 Daggerspine Sirens, go back to Southshore and talk to Lieutenant Farren again and get the follow up [32] Reassignment.

2. Now fly to Refuge Pointe (Arathi Highlands). In Refuge Pointe get the quest [36] Worth its Weigh in Gold from Apprentice Kryten.

3. Go southeast until you reach the Go'Shek Farm (60,53) and find the NPC named Quae, she is looking over the Go'Shek Farm from the northwest edge. Talk to her and take the follow up quest [36] Hints of a new Plague?. You need to find and kill a Forsaken Courier and loot a Sealed Folder from him.

4. In Short: The Forsaken Courier roams from the Go'Shek Farm all along the road up until the wall to Hillsbrad Foothils. He is lvl 35 and doesn't have that much hit points, but he has 4 level 35 bodyguards. Find a way to kill and loot the Courrier. You can do it solo at level 35, I've done it with 5 different classes and I've heard about other players doing the same. For instructions on how to kill the courier with a certain class, see below.

In Details Now you need to find and kill the Forsaken Courier, he roams from the Go'Shek Farm all along the road up until the wall to Hillsbrad Foothils. He has 4 bodyguards, all level 35.
There are many ways to kill it though, even solo at level 35.

  • Warrior: for exemple, charge the courrier, hit Retaliate, use Intimidating Shout, kill the courier fast, loot it and then run away.
  • Mage: burn him down as fast as possible, start from max range with Pyroblast if you got it, use frost nova on the bodyguards, finish the courrier fast. Use a Health Potion if needed.
  • Rogue: you can single the courier out. Use Distract so that only one guard stops while the rest keeps walking, then kill the guard solo, rinse and repeat until you get the courier solo. You can also just rush in the pack, hit Evasion and kill the courier quickly before evasion runs out.
  • Warlock and Hunter: Send in the pet and burn the Courrier as fast as possible while your pet dies.
  • Priest: Powerword:Shield and Renew yourself, be at max range, start with Smite, then a Mind Blast while the mobs run to you, then a Shadow Word:Pain. The bodyguards should be on you at this moment, use Psychic Scream, and keep on burning the Courrier with Mind Flay / Mind Blast.
  • Paladin: Just go for the courier and use your invulnerabilities.
  • Shaman: Check the following comment by Kenaimali for a way to do it as a shaman.
  • Hunter: Drop a frost trap and kite them all around it while you kill the courrier, then just run away while the guards are still 60% slowed.
There must be a way for each class to solo this at level 35, use creativity, potions, and long cooldown abilities. If you don't manage it, try to get a partner to duo it.

Once you got the Sealed Folder from the Forsaken Courier, go back to Quae (60,53). Turn in and get the follow up [37] Hints of a new Plague?, where you have to escort Kinelory.

For the escort, one word of advice: Let Kinelory be in the front, always walk behind her, when mobs aggro her, help her take them out one by one. And make sure they don't run far. Kinelory is quite a tank and can also heal a bit. If you let her be in front and don't let runners create trains, you will complete the quest easily.

5. When completed, talk to Quae and get the follow up. Then go southeast of Go'Shek Farm to the troll village (63,65).

Kill trolls until you get 10 Tusks. Kill Witch Doctors until you get 4 Medicine Pouches. Further inside the village and to the south (68,75) you will find a cave. Inside the cave you will find Witherbark Shadow Hunters and get the Hunter Knife you miss to complete the quest.

6. Once completed, run back to Refuge Pointe in Arathi and turn in the troll quest.

Hearthstone back to Southshore, and talk to Phin Odelic and complete the quest "Hints of a New plague".


Sell and repair.

1. Go north and follow the road north until you zone to Alterac Mountain (96,47). A bit further up and to the right you will find Soferan's Naze (58,67). Clear the Syndicate camp there, and in the middle of the camp on a table you should find parchments named "Syndicate Documents". Right click one of them and get the two quests [34] Encrypted Letter and [34] Foreboding Plans.

2. Then go northwest towards the snowy mountains where you will find Crushridge Ogres, they drop the Dirty Knucklebones you need.
When you run short on ogres, you can go to the southwest where you will find the area called "Corrahn's Dagger" (47,76). There you can kill Syndicate Footpads and Syndicate Thieves as well as Mountain Lions and Hulking Mountain Lions. I suggest you go back and forth from this spot to the ogres whenever you run short on mobs. Do this until the Ogre and Syndicate quests are completed. Then there's more Lions further to the west at "The Headland" (38,85).

3. You should be close to level 36 now (not more than 5k exp away). If that is not the case, grind until you have that much exp then run back to Southshore.

Turn in the 5 quests in Southshore. Get the follow up [34] Letter to Stormpike from Loremaster Dibbs. Don't get the other follow ups.

Congratulations on level 36.

Get the new flight path.

1. Let's start with [33] Reagents for Reclaimers, kill Hatefury Satyrs in Sargeron, southeast of Nigel's Point (75,20).

2. When you got 10 Hatefury Claws and 10 Hatefury Horns go west to the area just north of Thunder Axe Fortress (56,17) you will find a ruined caravan there. Look for Malem Chest. It's not actually a chest, rather a crate. Open it, get the follow up.

This session started with the Satyr quest and finished right now after turning in all the quests in Nijel's Point. That was done with a level 36 character with average gear, solo, on a new server (no twink). I've tried it with 3 different classes and it works just as well. And there is still two quests to turn in, that's just to show how efficient the quest path of Desolace can be when done the right way. Smiling

Anyway you should be level 38 by now.

At the docks you’ll see canons which will become useable once the monster attacks for real. Basically your only job here is to run between two of the 3 canons and alternatively fire them at the monster until it is dead. You should be able to get the monster down easily before the marksmen are dead. Be careful of his water stream though, it pushes you back and you’ll have to run back to the canons.

Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide - Chapter II (40-50)

Chapter II (40-50) - Journey from Dustwallow Marsh to the Hinterlands

Changelog

This is v2.0 of the guide. It has been revamped as mentioned in this news post to adapt to patch v2.3 changes. You can still find the old version of the guide here. At the same time, many other improvements have been made:

  • Introduction/Addons section has been updated
  • Kill everything on your way rule has been lifted unless you lack experience compared to the progress described in the guide
  • Grinding sessions removed and instances aren't part of the leveling process anymore (no dependancy on groups)
  • Quests that aren't elite anymore have been integrated
  • New patch 2.3 content has been integrated (Mudsprocket quests etc.)
  • Maps have been remade and a lot of errors have been corrected
  • Dustwallow Marsh circuits have been added
  • Leveling should be possible at a faster pace than before

Introduction

This guide starts at level 40. However I hope that you followed the 1st chapter of this guide as well. Because a lot of pre-questing and flight path gathering is done in it and we will need it for this chapter. If you didn't, it's not that bad, you'll just have to figure out yourself where to start, and if you are behind in XP, there will be optional circuits you can do to catch up. If you need guides for any other level range (from 1-41 for example) please take a look at this page.

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!

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.

  • When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.


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:

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.

The Guide

Level 40

You should be in Stormwind right now. If you followed the previous chapter of this guide, you should have the quest [37] Return to Jaina.

Go to Theramore. If you got the quest [37] Return to Jaina, go to the Mage Quarter at the western end of Stormwind and speak with Archmage Malin at the foot of the tower there, he will teleport you to Theramore. When in Theramore, this time turn in [37] Return to Jaina. Better turn it in now while it still gives XP, the teleport won't be useful to us anymore in the coming levels, and once the quest becomes grey to you, the teleport trick doesn't work anymore.

If you don't have that quest, fly to Menethil Harbor and take the boat to Theramore Isle. Or hearthstone if you're bound in Theramore.

Sell junk, restock on food if you haven’t already.

1. When ready, follow the path northwest out of Theramore until you reach North Point. Turn in [38] A Grim Connection at Captain Darill and take both follow ups.

2. From there go north until (42,15). You’ll reach Blackhoof Village, we’ve been there in the previous guide. Here you need to loot Blackhoof Armaments, they look like this:

You need 7 of them. At the same time kill every Grimtotem Elder you find until you get 4 Grimtotem notes, which you need to combine to get the Grimtotem Battle Plan.

3. Once done, return to North Point and turn in both quests. Take the follow up.

4. Go to the area called “The Quagmire”. There go to Tabetha’s Farm (46,57) and turn in [39] Tabetha’s Assistance. Get the follow up [39] Raze Direhorn Post! as well as the other quests from this place:

  • [38] The Grimtotem Weapon
  • [39] Direhorn Raiders
  • [39] The Reagent Thief
  • [40] The Zeppelin Crash

** From now on kill every Noxious Shredder and Darkfang Creeper on your way**

5. Search for Mottled Drywallow Crocolisks. Whenever you see a bunch of them together, right-click your Captured Totem from your inventory. Now make sure that whenever you kill a croc, the totem is close and up or you won't get a quest update.

There is a particular problem for hunters and warlocks for this quest. You must be tanking the crocs when they die so you get a quest update. For warlocks this is less of a problem, just summon an imp and tank yourself while dotting. But for hunters it's a little different especially if you are beastmastery specced and don't have your weaponskill maxed. In that case, do the following:

Place your totem and stand next to it with your pet. Put your pet on: passive, stay and growl off. Pull a crocodile with distracting shot from as far as possible and try to hit it with as many shots as possible before it reaches you. Once it's next to the totem and once you are meleeing it, sick your pet on it. Normally your pet shouldn't take aggro and until the croc is dead. If it does get aggro though, just turn the pet's attack off (click on the passive icon), move away a good distance, get aggro with distracting shot and finish it off either meleeing or with shots. You must have aggro first though.

1. When you are done move east towards (53,57). On the way you should find a few Noxious Shredders (kill as many as you still need). When you are there, talk to Moxie Steelgrille and turn in [40] The Zeppelin Crash. Take both [40] Corrosion Prevention and [39] Secure the Cargo! from her.

You've probably already noticed that blue lightning rays are being shot at you. Open your inventory and search for Ooze Buster. Put it on a hotkey. This is used to dissolve oozes all around the crashed zeppelin wreck. You can only use the buster while you are energized by the blue rays though (which are being shot by power core fragments). The power core fragment next to Moxie always shoots energy at you so stay as much around that fragment as possible and pull oozes to it. Once they are close, use your Ooze buster on them. This will dissolve the oozes and you'll get a quest update. You need to do this 10 times.
At the same time loot 8 Zeppelin Cargos in little boxes all around the floor. If you run out of oozes/boxes next to Moxie, just go to the other power core fragments around the crashed zeppelin. The only disadvantage with those is that they turn off and stop to shoot energy every 30 secs for 30 secs. So if your fragment isn't shooting energy at you, wait a little until it switches on again, then dissolve your oozes. When done, return to Moxie and turn in both quests. Take the follow up [39] Delivery for Drazzit.

2. East of you should be some mountains. Follow those mountains north/northwest until you reach a tauren camp called Direhorn Post. Kill 12 Grimtotems here (any). While killing them you'll stumble on an undead npc called Apothecary Cylla. Kill her and loot "Sealed Letter".
Right click it for a quest.

At the same time you need to use the torch from your inventory to burn the following three tents:

North Tent: (46,45)
Northeast Tent: (47,46)
East Tent: (47,47)

3. When done, return to Tabetha's house. Turn in everything you got and get the follow up from Tabetha, [39] Justice for the Hyals.

4. Hearthstone to Theramore. Turn in [39] Justice for the Hyals at Captain Garren Vimes (68,48). Take the follow up. Go to the graveyard just outside of Theramore and use the Wreath from your inventory on the grave at (63,42). Once done, return to Captain Garren Vimes and turn the quest in.

5. Fly to Mudsprocket. Turn in [39] Delivery for Drazzit. Gather all quests here:

  • [39] Bloodfen Feathers
  • [39] WANTED: Goreclaw the Ravenous
  • [40] Catch a Dragon by the Tail

==Note== You can abandon [40] ... and Bugs, if you have the quest in your questlog.

1. Go northwest until you get to an area called The Bloodfen Burrow. Kill every raptor on your way while going west to the cave. There you should see a big named raptor Goreclaw the Revenous. Kill raptors in this area until you have 5 Bloodfen Feathers.

2. When you are done, go south of Mudsprocket and loot 8 Wyrmtails. They look like this:

3. Go back to Mudsprocket and turn in all your quests. Get the two follow ups [39] Banner of the Stonemaul and [39] The Essence of Enmity.

4. Ride northwest to the area named The Den of Flame, which you can enter by the main gate on the southeastern side of it at (40,67). From now on kill every dragonkin you see. After killing a Firemane Scout, Ash Tail or Scalebane, use your Brogg’s Totem from your inventory on their corpses to get a Black Dragonkin Essence. You’ll need to do this 10 times.

Go inside the cave and keep to the left side until you see a banner with a tiger pelt. Loot the Stonemaul Banner.

5. When you are done and when you aren’t more than 8200 EXP away from leveling, return to Mudsprocket. Turn in both quests and get the follow up. Congratulations on level 41.

Level 41


6. Go northeast to Stonemaul Ruins (43,66). Look for Ogre Remains:

Right-click them and Stonemaul Spirits will spawn which you need to kill. You’ll need to free 10 spirits like this.

7. When you are done, return to Mudsprocket and turn the quest in, get the follow up.

8. Go southeast to the area called Wyrmbog. Further southeast towards the mountain you’ll see the entrance to Onyxia’s Lair. Pick one side of the entrance and clear all around it, then plant the Stonemaul Banner from your inventory. After a few seconds a dragon called Smolderwing will spawn. Kill it. Return to Mudsprocket. Turn in at Brogg and fly to Theramore. From there take the boat to Menethil Harbor and fly to Ironforge.


Set your hearthstone in Ironforge.

Get the Patterned Bronze Bracers, the Frost Oil and the Gyrocronatom from your bank (or buy them now if you didn't yet). I suggest you buy 4 stacks of food/drink at least before leaving.

Go to the Hall of Explorers and get the quest [37] Ironband wants you! from Prospector Stormpike.

From Ironforge, fly to Thelsamar, if you don't have the flight path, run out of Ironforge, follow the road east and take the tunnel at the South Gate Outpost (86,51) You will be in Loch Modan then, follow the road northeast to Thelsamar.

4. Go west to the ogre area named Camp Cagg (10,72), kill ogres there until you get 7 Scrap Metal. This may take a while. (If you grind here for more that 15 minutes without finishing the quest, just abandon it, it has no follow ups)

Talk to Lotwil and complete the quest but BEFORE you accept the next step away from Lotwil, be warned: A level 45 Elemental will spawn and you will have to defeat it. At level 42 this is hard but possible for every class. Just use every long cooldown ability you have. Loot "Lotwil's Shackles of Elemental Binding" from the Fam'retor Elemental and go turn in the quest to Lotwil.

==Note== For the instance fans, now would be a great time to do Uldaman. If you do Uldaman, try to get to the very end of it and make sure you get the quest [47] The Platinum Discs in the treasure chamber.

  • [41] Venture Company Mining

Make space in your bags, repair and buy 2 stacks of food/drink (if you don't have that already, of course).

For those who didn't finish the Stranglethorn Pages yet: This is your last chance, check the Booty Bay AH and ask in general channel for missing pages. If you got them all, take them with you.

1. Run out of Booty Bay and take the first way left until the Bloodsail Encampment by the shore. Pretty Boy Duncan should be there (28,69). if not, keep clearing the camp until he appears. Kill Pretty Boy Duncan and loot Catelyn's Blade from him. While you have the camp cleared, look for a map named "Bloodsail Correspondence" on one of the barrels, click it and get the follow up quest.

2. Go northwest across the bridge and keep going along the shore until you find some Nagas. Kill Naga Explorers at (24,65) until you get 10 Akiris Reed.

3. Then go back to the exit of Booty Bay but this time follow the trail to the north. A bit further on the right hand side of the road you will find Elder Mistvale Gorillas (31,67). Kill Gorillas there until you get 5 Mistvale Giblets and 1 Gorilla Fang.

4. Go north to (35,61) where you'll find a cave with Witch Doctor Unbagwa. Once you speak to him, 3 waves of 1 gorilla will spawn, with 10 seconds in between. You have time to eat/drink between the waves, don't loot though, you can do that afterwards. So after about 10 seconds an Enraged Silverback Gorilla (level 43) will attack you. After killing that gorilla you have another 10 seconds until Konda spawns (also level 43). Kill him as well. Then after another 10 seconds Mokk the Savage will run into the cave (Level 44). Kill him and loot the Heart of Mokk.

  • Turn in and get the follow up [43] The Bloodsail Buccaneers from Fleet Master Seahorn on the 2nd Floor of the Inn.

Get the quest [38] Excelsior from Drizzlik at the leatherworking hut (top floor).

Finally get the quest [42] Keep an Eye out from Dizzy One-Eye who stands to the right of the Booty Bay blacksmith house. (Left when entering Booty Bay from the tunnel).

Repair, sell and restock food/drink up to 3 stacks.

1. Get out of Booty Bay and go east towards the shore named Wild Shore. From there, go southwards while killing any Bloodsails on the way until you reach the 1st camp (29,80). Clear the camp and look for a map thingy named "Bloodsail Charts" or "Bloodsail Orders", If you don't find either, move on further south until you find a small boat ashore, check it for maps as well. Careful, the Bloodsail Warlocks really hurt, make sure you interrupt their shadowbolts if you can, and kill them fast then deal with their pets. If you are Rogue or Mage though, I suggest sap / polymorph on the warlock first, kill the pet and then the warlock.

2. Now go further south until you find a bigger camp (27,82). This camp will be harder to clear, but it's possible if you do it carefully.
Check the camp for Bloodsail Orders or Charts. Basically, the Bloodsail Charts and Orders can spawn at any of the two camps or at the boat. So check all three until you got both.

Then wander up and down the shore where you came from and kill Bloodsails until you get :

  • 10 Bloodsail Swashbuckler Kills
  • 15 Snuff (can drop from any Bloodsail)
  • 1 Dizzy's Eye (can drop from any Bloodsail)

3. Get back on the road and ride north until you reach the Ruins of Jubuwal (33,51). Clear the camp until you can pull JonJon The Crow, he should come with an add, could be a hard fight but it's doable. Loot Jon-Jon's Golden Spyglass, then clear yourself some space around the little ruins just behind where Jon-Jon was, there stands Maury 'Club-Foot" Wilkins with two Zanzil Something.

Now you probably can't take all 3 at the same time, so try to kill one of the minions fast then run away, rinse and repeat until you are left with just Maury Wilkins. Kill him and loot "Maury's Clubbed Foot".

4. Go back on the road and just a bit south until (33,53), go east through a breached wall and keep going until you hit the Ruins of Aboraz (40,57) and kill Zanzil Minions there until you find
Chucky "Ten Thumbs" inside the ruins and loot "Chucky's Huge Ring" from him. Keep killing Zanzil dudes until you get 12 Zanzil's Mixtures, avoid Zanzil the Outcast himself though. If you run out of mobs to kill, go back and forth from this camp to the other. Any Zanzil Something can drop the Mixture.

You should be level 43 by now.

Level 43


5. When done with both [44] Voodoo Dues and [44] Zanzil's Secret, get back on the road and ride north until you reach (39,41).

** From this point on, if you find any Shadowmaw Panther (they are stealthed) make sure you kill them **

At (39,41) go east and you will find Venture Co. Goblins uphill. Kill them until you get 10 Singing Blue Crystals.

6. Go west to the other side of the road, you should find Jungle Stalkers (34,37). Kill 10.

7. Then go northeast to (36,35) and kill Shadowmaw Panthers until you got 10 kills. You can find them in the area all around that big hill next to the tribal leatherworking troll NPC. They can be a bit hard to find sometimes because they are stealthers so I suggest you hit "Tab" key while running around and open your eyes well (humans use your racial ability perception). Smiling Keep doing circles around that big hill and you will find 10 panthers quickly.

1. Once you're done get back on the main road and go north until you get to the Venture Co. Base at Lake Nezferiti, go to the Operations Center which looks like an oil rig platform (42,18 ). Go on top of it and kill Foreman Cozzle, loot his Key.
Jump down and go to the small house next to the lumber mill, open the chest and get the Fuel Regulator Blueprints.

2. Now go west across the lake and keep going west until the Bal'lal Ruins (29,20), clear the camp and click the big tablet named "Moon Over the Vale" and loot the scroll.

3. Go west till you hit the coast. You must find an Elder Saltwater Crocolisk. If you don't see one, just clear the coast while going northwest, until an elder croc spawns. Loot the Elder Crocolisk Skin.

4. Go west into the sea, until (24,22). Dive underwater at this spot and you should find the tablet named "Gri'lek the Wanderer" lying against the outer wall of the underwater ruins. You don't need to kill any of the murlocs there, the tablet can be accessed safely. Loot the 2nd scroll.

5. Then go north to the Zuuldaia Ruins and take the western entrance ( 21,10) to the Ruins of Zul'Kunda. Clear the way through the first corridor until you reach a fork, go left up the ramp. From there, face north and you should see the 3rd tablet "The Emperor's Tomb". Clear the way to it and loot the 3rd Scroll. Then go back to the fork and this time take the ramp up to the right, then take a u-turn to the right and go west until the last ruin (23,11). The last tablet named "Fall of Gurubashi" is inside there. Loot the 4th Scroll and then go back on the main path to the east and clear the way eastwards and out of Zul'Kunda ruins.

6. Keep going east to Camp Nesingwary (35,10).

Turn in:

  • [38] Panther Mastery., get the follow up.
  • [41] Raptor Mastery, get the follow up.
  • and the pages quest if you didn't do that already before.

7. Then ride north to the Rebel Camp, turn in [38] Kurzen's Mystery, get the follow up [40] Troll Witchery.
Also get the quest [40] Colonel Kurzen if you don't already have it.

Fly to Booty Bay, turn in:

  • [44] Voodoo Dues, wait 10 seconds, then get the follow up [44] Cracking Maury's Foot
  • [41] Venture Company Mining and [44] Zanzil's Secret at Crank Fizzlebub in the Booty Bay inn.
  • [42] Up to Snuff at Deeg on the 2nd Floor of the inn.
  • [37] Goblin Sponsorship at Baron Revilgaz, 2nd Floor of the inn. Get the follow up.
  • [42] The Bloodsail Buccaneers at Fleet Master Seahorn, 2nd Floor of the inn, get the follow up. [38] Excelsior, at Drizzlik in the leatherworking hut (top floor).
  • [42] Keep an Eye out at Dizzy One-Eye to the right of the Blacksmith house.

This should make you ding level 44

Level 44


Sell junk, repair and re-stock food/drink. Put the Fuel-Regulator Blueprints in the bank.
If you wish, you can fly to Stormwind and go train your new skills, then hearthstone back to Booty Bay.

1. Get out of Booty Bay and ride east to the shore. Now we're going to look for a Half-Burried Bottle, which can be found anywhere along the beach if you keep going northeast. Keep opening bottles until one yields a Carefully Folded Note, right-click it to start [42] Message in a Bottle.

2. Swim southeast to Jaguero Isle and find Princess Poobah at (39,81). Turn in the quest and get the follow up [42] Message in a Bottle.

3. Go to the southeastern part of the island, where you should find a big gorilla named King Mukla (40,84). Kill it and loot the Shackle Key.

Go back to Princess Poobah and turn in [42] Message in a Bottle.

4. Now we're gonna do [42] The Bloodsail Buccaneers.
Go to the southwestern tip of the island and swim southwest to a lone pirate ship (34,88)

You should see 2 other pirate ships if you look west:

Let's start with the lone ship.

Instead of describing step by step how everything is done, I made a video, with explanations inside (the video was made before patch v2.3 but it's still more or less the same, beside that there are less mobs and they are lower level):

Bloodsail Buccaneer Video

Note: The parchment I looted at the bottom of the ship - Cortello's Riddle - can spawn in any of the three ships, so you'll have to check the bottom floor of each ship until you find it. It can also spawn in other parts of the ship, so check every corner of each ship carefully, but it mostly spawns on the bottom floor.

When you pull the middle floor, don't fight in the stairs. As soon as you aggro something, get off the stairs, or you might aggro something from the captain's cabin through the floor, it's an annoying bug but it's easily avoided if you don't fight on the stairs.

5. Do the same for the other two ships and you should have [42]The Bloodsail Buccaneers complete and have Cortello's Riddle. Right click it and get the quest [43]Cortello's Riddle.
Note: Ignore Brutus, that iron golem standing at the top of the eastern ship. He doesn't drop anything particular and is a pain to kill.

6. Swim back to the mainland, get back on the road and ride north. Right before Gurubashi Arena, turn left, follow the little path west/northwest until you hit the shore, then go north until you find a named raptor, Tethis (29,43). Kill it.

1. Go north through the raptors and then northeast to Ziata'Jai Ruins (42,36) and clear the camp of trolls. Be careful to avoid the patrols. When it's cleared, follow the little path northeast until you reach Balia'mah Ruins (45,33). Kill all the trolls there as well. When this camp is clear, follow the path southeast and then south until you reach the ruins of Zul'Mamwe (47,38 ) and kill all the trolls you find in the ruins (Though avoid the southernmost one up the plateau, the trolls there are higher level)
If you run out of trolls go back to the first ruins of Ziata'Jai and repeat this cycle until you get 18 Skullsplitter Tusk and 4 Skullsplitter Fetish. The fetishes can only drop from Skullsplitter Mystics and Witch Doctors.

2. Go northeast towards Zul'Gurub. Just south of the path leading to Zul'Gurub (49,20), look for a panther called Bhag'thera, kill her and loot the Fang of Bhag'thera.

3. Go north/northwest to the Kurzen Cave at (46,Cool. Mobs in there should be grey to you, so try to avoid as many as possible. Inside the cave stick to the right and at some point you'll start to encounter Kurzen Elites and Kurzen Subchiefs, which you must kill.
==Warning for melee classes== Subchiefs have an ability called Violent Shield, when they cast it, stop attacking or you'll get hurt. Just wait till it stops.
Keep sticking to the right and you'll find Colonel Kurzen at the end of the cave, he has one Kurzen Subchief as guard, you'll have to take them both at the same time, just use your cooldowns if necessary.
Clear the way out of the cave while killing what you need for [40] Colonel Kurzen.

4. Ride west/northwes to the rebel camp, turn in [40] Troll Witchery and [40] Colonel Kurzen, get the follow up [46] Mai'Zoth.

5. Go southwest to Nesingwary's Expedition, turn in [43] Raptor Mastery and [40] Panther Mastery, get the follow up [43] Big Game Hunter.

Sell junk.

6. Go southeast to the Mosh'ogg Ogre Mound (49,28). Clear the way till the end of the cave, where you should find Mai'Zoth. This won't be an easy fight, because Mai'Zoth is guarded by two other ogres. My advice is to burn Mai'Zoth, use everything you got, and interrupt his spells because he hurts the most, by far. Use a health potion if needed, then finish the other two ogres. Loot the Mind's Eye.
Now stay in this area and kill ogres until one of them drops Maury's Key. If you already got it, just go to the next step.

7. Optional. We're going to kill King Bangalash. Some classes can't solo it and will have to find help, 2 people of any class mix should do. If you want to do this quest, head to (38,34) at the top of the hill. Clear any tigress or panthers around, you don't want them to add while you're fighting King Bangalash. When he's at 50% health, he summons to panthers to his help, so watch out for that. My advice is to just burn Bangalash and ignore the panthers (or CC them).
Loot the Head of King Bangalash.

Hearthstone to Booty Bay.

Go to the top floor of the inn, turn in [42] Skullsplitter Tusks and [42] The Bloodsail Buccaneers.
Jump down and turn in [44] Cracking Maury's Foot at "Sea Wolf" MacKinley, get the other quest [45] Stoley's Debt.

Once in Auberdine, get the flight path from the Hippogryph Master, then take the boat back to Stormwind.

Take the Deeprun Tram to Ironforge.

General info about Tanaris, Feralas and Hinterlands:

While killing stuff in Tanaris if you find an item named [OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon]. Right click it and keep the quest. You'll find beacons in Feralas and Hinterlands as well, proceed equally with those. Each of those beacons start a quest where you will have to find a Homing Robot and escort it. The beacons won't always drop for you, they are kinda rare. The escort quests are hard to do solo especially for certain classes. But if you are lucky to find all 3 beacons you should really put the effort and finish all 3 rescue quests, it will be described when to do them in the guide later on. Anyway, if you don't get a distress beacon, or if you don't manage to complete the rescue quests, it's not a big deal, this is optional, it's a nifty exp bonus but it's not that important

Sell, Repair, re-supply food/drink (3 stacks).

Start his quest, follow him, he will set up an explosive and distract Rizzle Brassbolt out of his house. While Rizzle is away go quickly loot the Unguarded Plans. Complete the quest, get the follow up [41] Rizzle's Schematics and turn it in at Pozzik. You can destroy the Sample of Indurium Ore from your bags.

Hearthstone if it's up, or ride back to Gadgetzan and fly to Thalanaar (Feralas). You should have this flight path if you followed the previous chapter.

1. In Feralas, ride west, follow the road, but carefully avoid Camp Mojache (by the north) or the guards will make a quick deal of you. Find the Grimtotem Camp at (65,47), then locate Kindal Moonweaver at (65,45), she is on the mountain overlooking the Grimtotem camp. There is a path going to her just a little west of the grimtotem camp (65.6,47).

Once you know where Kindal is, don't take the quest yet, go back to the Grimtotem Camp and clear the area around the bamboo cage with the Sprite Darters in it, and don't be shy, clear a wide radius around it.

When you feel that you've cleared enough, go quickly to Kindal and start the quest, jump down and run straight to the bamboo cage, open the cage and escort the sprites out, at least 6 of them must survive. Once you get the "6 Sprites escaped (Complete)" message, help Kindal finish off whatever she is attacking. When Kindal is not being attacked by anything, she will vanish, go find her at her initial spot, turn in the quest. If you and/or Kindal die after getting the "quest complete" message, just run back fast to where you initially found Kindal and turn in the quest before the end of the 6 min countdown.

Now Jer'Kai Moonweaver (that elf right next to Kindal) will have a quest for you,[47] Doling Justice. Take the quest, go back down to the Grimtotem Camp and kill as much as the quest requires you to. When done, go back to her and get the follow up [47] Doling Justice.

Inside the cave, go straight ahead and under a small white arch. Lord Shalzaru is up there on the other side of the pond. Kill Lord Shazaru, there are 2 other nagas close to him but you can pull them one by one or just 2 at a time. Use your long cooldown abilities and potions if needed. Loot the Mysterious Relic from him.

2. Clear the way out and go back to Feathermoon Stronghold.

Turn in the quest at Latronicus and get the follow up [45] Delivering the Relic. Go talk to Vestia Moonspear in the same building and turn in the quest.

3. Then take the boat, back to Feralas, from there go south following the shore while avoiding the Water Elementals / Giants. Kill any Rogue Vale Screechers you find on the way and use Yeh'Kinya's Bramble on their corpses, then talk to their spirit to free them. Finish [44] Screecher Spirits while going southwards.

4. Cross a small river, then keep going south until you find a Wrecked Row Boat at (45,65), it's underwater but very close to the shore, you can see the yellow “?” on your minimap anyway. There will probably be an elemental or two around it that will aggro if you get close, you can try killing them (but some of them are 49) or you can run in, click the quest, get the follow up and run away. (What I did Sticking out tongue)

Once you have the follow up [44] Boat Wreckage, go back to Feathermoon Fortress (use Hearthstone if it's up).

3. When you are done with Shamans, go further to the south and as far up the hills as you can, you will find Hippogryph Eggs on the floor at (56,76). Get a Hippogryph Egg.

4. Go northwest to the Yeti Cave (55,56). Kill Yetis, ignore the Homing Robot OOX-22/FE for now. Keep killing yetis until you get 10 Thick Yeti Hides.

When you got 10 Yeti Hides, go to the Homing Robot. (53,55)

Now, at this point you should normally have gotten a Distress Beacon with all the stuff you've killed in Feralas already. If you don't, it's not a big deal, just go to the next step. For those you did get a Distress Beacon, right click it to get the quest [45] Find OOX-22/FE! if you haven't already. Turn in the quest.

Don't take the escort quest if you are solo, it's too hard for almost every class. If you are two or more, read the following warnings before taking the escort quest:

  • 1st Warning: The Chicken robot is stupid and doesn't assist you all the time if you get attacked. Let him in the front so he gets the first hit. He has a decent amount of HPs and heals back to full after each fight is over. You can even eat/drink a bit after a fight and let the chicken walk in the front (not too far away though). Don't even think about looting, you don't have time. Don't let the chicken tank more than one at a time, and don't let him tank too long either.

  • 2nd Warning: When out of the Yeti cave, the chicken will take a left turn and go towards the road, at some point 3 yetis will ambush him. Don't panic, you can let one of the yetis be tanked by the chicken at the beginning and deal with the other 2. Just check the chicken's health regularly. There will be a 2nd and a 3rd ambush, be prepared for them. Especially the last one is composed of 4 Gnolls.

5. Get back on the main road and follow it east until (71,48). You should be directly north of a small lake. Go to the southeastern tip of that lake and a bit more to the south try to locate a small gnoll camp next to a huge tree. (73,56). Clear the camp and look for "Large Leather Backpacks" hanging at the trunk of that huge tree. Click it and get the follow up quest [46] The Writhing Deep.

Also check your inventory for a bag named "Undelivered Parcel", click it and start the quest [44] Thalanaar Delivery.

6. Go further south to the Writhing Deep and find the hole at (74,63), go down the spiralling ramp until you reach the bottom. There enter the tunnel towards the west, inside the tunnel at the first fork go to the right. At the end of this corridor you'll find a circular room with the Zukk'Ash Pod inside. Clear the insects in the room. (if you are lucky, "Qirot", a rare spawn insect will be there. Kill it for and extra green item). When the room is clear, click the Zukk'Ash Pod, complete the quest, and after Raschal the Courier is done with his speech, warp back to Feathermoon Stronghold.

Go to Shandris Feathermoon, turn in [46] A Hero's Welcome and get the follow up [46] Rise of the Slithid.

Fly to Auberdine (Darkshore), takes about 7 minutes. Or just fly directly to Rut'theran Village if you got the flight path.
In Auberdine go on the peer and take the boat to the right, it will take you to Rut'theran Village outside of Darnassus.

Turn in the quest [47] Handle with Care at Erelas Ambersky. Get the quest [47] Favored of Elune?.

Go inside Darnassus (for those who never went there, you have to step in the pink haze at (56,90))

Inside Darnassus, go to the Temple of the Moon.

Turn in [46] Rise of the Silithid there and [47] Doling Justice. This should make you ding level 47.

Level 47


While you are in Darnassus, go to your class trainer (if you are Shaman, Paladin, or Warlock you will have to go to Auberdine and take the boat to Stormwind. Mages can just go learn the Portal to Darnassus and warp to a big city to train).

Visit the Auction House, sell and repair.

Then go back to Feathermoon Stronghold (Use Hearthstone if it is up -- If it's not up, there is a Hippogryph Master in Rut'theran Village, fly to Auberdine, then fly to Feathermoon.)

From Feathermoon, fly to Thalanaar. Turn in the quest [44] Thalanaar Delivery at Falfindel Waywarder. Then Fly to Gadgetzan.

In Gadgetzan, turn in the quest [48] The Borrower at Curgle Cranklehop, get the follow up [48] The Super Snapper FX.

Sell, Repair, get up to 3 Stacks of Food/Drink.

1. In Tanaris ride to the southeast until you reach Waterspring Field (63,37).
You will find numerous Wastewander camps there. Kill Wastewander Rogues (stealthers), Assassins and Shadow Mages. You can also find Caliph Scorpidsting, he wanders between the tower structures, so you should go kill from a tower structure to another until you find him. He has 2 stealthed bodyguards, it will be a hard fight, burn him down quick and run away is my advice, use long cooldown abilities and potions if needed. Then go back and loot his head.

If you don't find Caliph it's not a problem though, it's just some bonus XP quest, not too important.

2. Once you got [44] More Wastewander Justice completed, go east towards Lost Rigger Cove. You'll find a cave entrance at (68,41). Go through this tunnel.

Now you have a lot of work to do, check the kill list of [45] Southsea Shakedown and start killing Pirates!
Clear your way south toward the main camp with the 3 houses , 2 ships ashore and the boat under construction.

Andre Firebeard spawns at the campfire right in the center of the camp. He has 3 Dock Workers close to him but you can pull those 3 without him if you pull the back one, then you have Andre solo. Or you can burn him down fast and run away (or take them all :p^^). Anyway, this place is usually crowded because it is a good grinding spot, so you shouldn't have trouble getting help to kill Andre Firebeard if needed.

Then go inside the first house to the right when entering the camp. You might get pulls of 3 at a time inside the house, you will maybe have to use the "Kill one and run away" tactic to get to the top floor of the house if you can't take 3 at a time.. On the top floor are crates, click them to get Stoley's Shipment.

Then keep on killing pirates until you complete Southsea Shakedown and Pirate Hats Ahoy!

Bonus: There is a rare spawn named Kregg Keelhaul on the boats ashore. Check for it.

If you find a Captain's Key off one of the pirates, the chest is at the bottom level of the ship which is the most to the east. Another thing, while killing pirates by the dozen you might find a pirate footlocker on one of them (1% chance to drop approximately). In the footlocker you might find a note named "Ship Schedule", right click it to start the quest [45] Ship Schedules, which you turn in in Steamwheedle Port for an extra 4850 XP. However, you might be unlucky and never get a footlocker, so don't worry if you miss it, it's optional.

3. When done, get out of Rigger Cove and go north to Steamwheedle Port.

Turn in:

  • [45] Andre Firebeard

In Ironforge: Sell, repair, check auction house.

Fly to Southshore, turn in [40] Down the Scarlet Path (if you did the Scarlet Monastery instance, you probably don't have this quest anymore, so just ignore this).

Go northeast to the Hinterlands (84,32). In Hinterlands go northeast to Aerie Peak (14,47).

Get the quests:

  • [44] Preying on the Predator
  • [46] A Gesture of Goodwill

1. Go south to Featherbeard's Hovel (13,54), inside the house you'll find a book, right-click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [46] In Pursuit of Featherbeard.

**While in the Hinterlands look for Wilkdkin Feathers, they are big white/brown feathers you can find on the ground throughout Hinterlands. They don't drop off the Owlbeasts. I found most of them in between Aerie Peak and Quel'Danil Lodge. Start gathering them from now on while doing the quest circuit**
**Also kill Mangy Silvermane and Silvermane Wolves on your way**

2. Go north and then follow a small path east of Aerie Peak while staying close to the mountain to your left. You will find Shindigger's camp (26,48).

Talk to Rhapsody and get the follow up [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail

3. Go south/southwest to the troll ruins of Zun'watha (23,58), clear the camp and check the first and second Witherbark cages.

5. Go east until you find the entrance to Shadra'Alor at (36,64). Clear the way to the top of the eastern pyramid, where you should find Featherbeard's Remains (37,71.5).

Turn in the quest and get the follow up [46] Reclaiming the Eggs.

From Featherbeard's Remains, face precisely southwest and move in this direction for about 30 yards, you'll find 3 eggs next to an incurved wall (36,73), loot the 3 Gryphon Eggs.

Go southwest, staying close to the mountain to your left, soon you should see a yellow "!" on your minimap. Go there and you should find another 3 Gryphon Eggs (34,75). Loot 2 of them to finish [46] Reclaiming the Eggs.

You should be level 48 by now.

Level 48


3. Optional: If you got the Distress Beacon OOX-09/HL, go to the lake northwest of Skulk Rock and find the Homing robot there (49,37). Turn in the quest. Before you accept the rescue quest, here is what you must know:

  • This quest, unlike the Feralas one, is more likely to be done solo. It's still not a walk in the part of course. So if you got a partner to duo it, all the better for you.
  • Let the chicken run in front of you, let it get the first hit. If it's not getting hit, it won't fight back. Sometimes mobs are actually chasing the chicken and failing to get a hit on it, so they give up.
  • You'll have to face 2 ambushes of 3 mobs each, make sure you are full health/mana and with long cooldown abilities up when you start the escort. When the 3 ambushers attack, stand back until the chicken gets hit. Then let the chicken tank one of the 3 adds, deal with the 2 others as quick as you can, then help the chicken finish off the 3rd add.

If you don't have the beacon, you can come back later when you get one. We'll come back to the Hinterlands in a few levels anyway. Ride southeast until you reach The Overlook Cliffs (71,65), then go down the slope.

4. Search your bags for the Super Snapper FX and make a hotkey out of it. Then ride along the shore and search for a named turtle named Gammerita. She is easy to discern from the rest because she's the only aggressive turtle (red name). She roams a lot, so you'll find her anywhere between the waterfall (82,47) and Revantusk Village (77,77). She will attack you when you take her picture, you can kill her or run away, as you prefer. You should now normally have a Snapshot of Gammerita in your inventory.

5. Mount up and go north until you reach the waterfall named The Overlook Cliffs (79,48).
Dive in the water and look for Cortello's Chest at the bottom of the sea, close to where the waterfall hits the bottom.

Click it and turn in the quest for 8800 xp and a 14-Slot bag.

Hearthstone back to Aerie Peak.

Turn in the quests:

2. If you haven't done the robot chicken escort quest yet but got the Distress Beacon OOX-09/HL, go to the lake northwest of Skulk Rock and find the Homing robot there (49,37) and do the escort.

If you still don't have the Distress Beacon, well first of all you're not lucky. If you can stomach it, go grind at some troll ruins (any will do) until you get the beacon, because it's much more efficient to do this escort now (you'll see later why). If you really don't wanna grind, then forget it, we'll get another chance to do this quest in a later circuit, it will just require one extra trip to Booty Bay at a later point.

3. Go back to Aerie Peak, turn in [44] Preying on the Predators.
Go to the top of Aerie Peak and speak with Gryphon Master Talonaxe. Turn in the quest and get the follow up:

  • [49] The Dunemaul Compound from Andi Lynn (behind the Inn)
  • [50] Thistleshrub Valley from Tran'Rek

1. Go west to the pool of water by the Sandsorrow Watch (38,29). Stand by the western tip of the pool and get full health/mana. Search your bag for a black vial named "Untapped Dowsing Widget" and right click it. Two level 48 insects will pop and attack you, kill them or run away from them. It doesn't matter.

2. Go back to Gadgetzan. Talk to Senior Survery Fizzledowser and get the follow up [47] Noxious Lair Investigation.

Now we'll do a long circuit, so repair and re-stock food/drink.

3. Get out of Gadgetzan and go south until you find the skeletal remains of some huge animal (50,35). Kill all the Fire Rocs you find there. The Hyenas actually share the same spawn points as the Fire Rocs, so if you run out of Fire Rocs, kill Hyenas until Fire Rocs spawn instead. There's another of those huge skeletal remains to the southwest. Cycle between those 2 spots until you get the 3 Roc Gizzards you need for [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail.

4. Go southeast to the area named "Broken Pillar" (52,45) and talk to Marvon Rivetseeker. Turn in [51] The Sunken Temple and get the follow up [51] The Stone Circle. Also get [48] Gahz'ridian.

5. Go southwest to the Dunemaul Compound and clear a path to the cave there (40,56). In that cave you'll find Gor'marok the Ravager, kill him. (lvl 49 - soloable at lvl 47 without a problem)

6. Go southeast to the Eastmoon Ruins (48,64) (yes, even if you didn't finish [49] The Dunemaul Compound yet.) Start killing ogres there and look on the floor for Gahz'Ridian pieces. They look like white upside down plates. If it's too crowded, there is another camp similar to this one further to the southwest named "Southmoon Ruin" (41,72). When you got 30 Gahz'Ridian ornament you should also be done with [49] The Dunemaul Compound. If not, kill some more ogres Sticking out tongue

7. Optional: If you went to Uldaman and did the quest [47] The Platinum Discs, go southwest to Uldum (38,79). The Dune Smashers have a small aggro range, you can hug the left wall and reach the Stone Watcher of Norgannon, just be careful of the one roamer. The Stone Watcher of Norgannon is at (37,81). Click the Uldum Pedestal under him and get the follow up, then talk to the Stone Watcher of Norgannon who just appeared on the pedestal. Go through his dialogue and you will complete the follow up. Then click the Uldum pedestal again, complete the quest and get the follow up [50] Return to Ironforge.

8. Go west (northwest if you went to Uldum) to Thistleshrub Valley (28,67). Kill Gnarled Thistleshrubs and Thistleshrub Rootshapers until you get 8 kills of each. Also kill Thistleshrub Dew Collectors until a Laden Dew Gland drops (rare drop).

This should easily make you ding level 49.

Level 49


9. Go north to the Noxious Lair (31,51). Kill Centipaars there, Stingers, Wasps, Tunnelers.. until you get 5 Centipaar Insect Parts.

==Note== While in Ungoro Crater look around for crystals. There is 4 types of crystals:

Red, Blue, Yellow and Green crystals. Loot them anytime you see them until you got 7 of each color.
Also kill every dinosaur you find on your way and normally you should find a Mangled Journal at some point (if you don't you will later on in Ungoro, don't worry). Right click the journal and get the quest [50] Williden's Journal.

2. Go northwest until you find "A Wrecked Raft" at (63,68). Right click it and accept the quest [52] It's a Secret to Everybody.

Take a dive right next to where the wrecked raft is and look underwater for yellow bag called "A Small Pack". Click it, turn in and get the follow up. You should receive a small pack in your inventory but don't open it for now, it will save you some bagspace.

3. Go northeast from here until (68,56), where you will find a big dinosaur carcass on the floor. Right click it to get the Piece of Threshadon Carcass.

4. Once you have your "Piece of Threshadon Carcass", go back to Torwa Pathfinder, turn in the quest and get the follow up [53] The Scent of Lar'korwi.

5. Go west back into the Marshlands until you find some purple eggs on the floor (67,73). Clear the ravasaurs around it, then step up on the egg pile, a Lar'korwi mate should appear and attack you, kill her and loot the Ravasaur Pheromone Gland (75% drop rate).

6. Then go to the next pile of eggs north of this one (66,67), do the same thing. Go back and forth between these 2 egg piles until you got 2 Glands.

7. Go back to Torwa Pathfinder and turn in the quest, get the follow up [56] The Bait for Lar'korwi.

Open the "small pack" in your inventory and loot all the items from it, then turn in [52] It's a Secret to Everybody at Linken (he's inside a tree trunk south of Williden Marshal), get the follow up. You can destroy the Faded Photograph from your inventory.

Go inside the cave at Marshall's Refuge and go to the end of it where you'll find a little gnome named J.D. Collie.

Get her quest [53] Crystals of Power and turn it in. Then get the 3 follow up quests she gives you:

  • [53] The Eastern Pylon
  • [53] The Northern Pylon
  • [53] The Western Pylon

Fly to Gadgetzan and turn in:

  • [49] The Thirsty Goblin at Marin Noggenfogger. Get the follow up [49] In Good Taste.

1. Go south to the Broken Pillar and talk to Marvon Rivetseeker, turn in [48] Gahz'ridian.

2. Go further south to the Gaping Chasm (56,61), clear yourself a path through the insects southwards until you find the entrance spiralling down at (55,70). Take the 2nd tunnel you see when going down the spiral, the one going north (55,69). Inside the tunnel at the first fork go right. Then go through the circular room. After the circular room at the first fork go right. You will enter a big square room. The Scrimshank's Surveying Gear (55,71) is at the western corner of the square room.

Loot it and then go back the way you came from, and then go north until you are out of the Gaping Chasm.

If you don't have the Distress Beacon, go back to Gadgetzan.

3. If you do have the Distress Beacon for Tanaris:

Go east and inside the mountain at (60,64). You will find the Homing Robot OOX-17/TN there. Turn in the quest. Get full health/mana, refresh buffs. Check if your long cooldown abilities are up. For some classes this will be hard to solo, so if you don't manage it better find someone to duo it with. If you don't manage that, just abandon the escort quest, it's optional anyway.

Things to know about this escort quest:

1. Let the chicken in front, let him get hit first. Sometimes mobs will aggro him but not manage to hit him while he walks and they will just give up.
2. The first part of the escort is the hardest as you will run into lvl 46-47 mobs. And at some point you will get an ambush of 3 level 46 scorpions. Use your long cooldown abilities there. After this, it gets easier.
3. Later on you will get a 2nd ambush, 3 humanoids lvl 42 (green). One will be a shadow mage though, kill it first.

==Note== For those who did Zul'Farrak, go to Steamwheedle Port, turn in [47] The Prophecy of Mosh'aru, get the follow up [50] The Ancient Egg. For the others, if you don't plan to do Zul'Farrak, just abandon the quest [47] The Prophecy of Mosh'aru.

4. Ride back to Gadgetzan, talk to Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser and get the follow up [48] Insect Part Analysis.

Go talk to Alchemist Pestlezugg, get the follow up and get back to Surveyor Fizzledowser. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [49] Rise of the Slithid
.

Fly to Thalanaar, Feralas.

1. Mount up, ride west/northwest, carefully avoiding Camp Mojache. Keep going west until the grimtotem camp (66,46). Go talk to Kindal Moonweaver (those two elven females we already helped back then with freeing sprite darters). Get the quest [47] An Orphan Looking for a Home.

2. If you haven't done the Feralas chicken escort quest, go west and back to the Yeti Cave (55,56) and try to escort the Homing Robot. At level 49 it shouldn't be too hard to solo it. Anyway, one advice, just ALWAYS let the chicken get hit first before you do anything.
If you don't manage to solo this quest or can't find a person to duo it just abandon it. It's really optional, but do try hard though, because the final exp reward is juicy.

3. Get back on the main road and ride north/northeast towards the Yeti Cave (51,32). On the way there also kill every Ironfur Bear and Groddoc Thunderer you find. You need 3 livers of each for [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail.

4. Kill Rage Scar Yetis until you get 10 Rage Scar Yeti Hide.

5. When done with the above, get out and kill more Ironfur Bear and Groddoc Thunderer until you finish [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail.

6. Ride to the pier and take the boat to Feathermoon Stronghold (or swim if you miss the boat ):

Turn in :

  • [48] Improved Quality
  • [48] Return to Troyas, don't get the follow up.

Fly back to Gadgetzan. Get your 2 Elixirs of Fortitude from the bank in Gadgetzan. Then ride north to the Thousand Needles.

Go to the Mirage Raceway and talk to Quentin (78,74). Turn in the quest [47] An Orphan Looking for a Home. Get the follow up, turn it in instantly (as you already have the 2 Elixirs of Fortitude).
Get the quest [47] The Newest Member of the Family. A timer window will appear, we have plenty of time though, so just follow the next few steps carefully and don't go AFK for too long Sticking out tongue

Ride back to Gadgetzan, fly to Ratchet. After landing, go directly south of the flight master to the yellow "!" labeled Liv Rizzlefix (62.5, 38). Don't take the quest, but loot Marvon's Chest, which is right outside of this hut. You'll receive a Stone Circle.

Take the boat to Booty Bay. In Booty Bay take the left ramp going up, keep going east/southeast and shortly you'll find Oglethorpe Obnoticus (28,76). Turn in all the Rescue OOX-Chicken Robot quests you completed. They give between 6900 XP and 7850 XP each.

If you completed all 3 rescues you get and extra quest [50] An OOX of your own. You'll get a mechanical chicken pet (which I usually sell for 50gold at the AH ^^) and 10200 XP as well! Which is why going through the pain of doing those 3 escort quests is in the end worth it.

Turn in [45] Deliver to MacKinley at "Sea Wolf" MacKinley (close to the inn).

You should be level 50 by now.

Level 50

Hearthstone to Aerie Peak. Go talk to Agnar Beastamer, he is inside the inn on the lower level. Turn in [47] The Newest Member of the Family, get the follow up [47] Food for Baby.

If you did Zul'Farrak, go to Gryphon Master Talonaxe at the very top of Aerie Peak, turn in [47] Return to the Hinterlands, get the follow up [51] Saving Sharpbeak.

Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide - Chapter III (50-60)

Chapter III (50-60) - Journey from the Hinterlands to the Plaguelands

Changelog

This is v2.0 of the guide. It has been revamped as mentioned in this news post to adapt to patch v2.3 changes. You can still find the old version of the guide here. At the same time, many other improvements have been made:

  • Introduction/Addons section has been updated
  • Kill everything on your way rule has been lifted
  • Grinding sessions removed and instances aren't part of the leveling process anymore (no dependancy on groups), they are optional
  • Quests that aren't elite anymore have been integrated
  • New patch 2.3 content has been integrated (Mudsprocket quests etc.)
  • Maps have been remade and a lot of errors have been corrected
  • Leveling should be possible at a faster pace than before

Introduction

This guide starts at level 50. However I hope that you followed the 2nd chapter of this guide as well. Because a lot of pre-questing and flight path gathering is done in it and we will need it for this chapter. If you didn't, it's not that bad, you'll just have to figure out yourself where to start, and if you are behind in XP, there will be optional circuits you can do to catch up. If you need guides for any other level range (from 1-41 for example) please take a look at this page.

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!

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.

  • When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.


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:

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

  • Level 50: 15X Silk Cloth
  • Level 53: 1X Mithril Casing -- If you can't find them on the auction house, find an engineer willing to do it for a small tip.
  • As soon as possible : 16 or 18 slot bags, which you can buy from the auction house. We'll go on long circuits sometimes and junk will quickly fill up your bags, so having a lot of space is a must.

These items might not always be available at the AH, so start checking early.

The Guide

Level 50

So you just finished the previous chapter? That means you should be in The Hinterlands right now, and your quest log should look like this:

  • [47] Food for Baby
  • [49] Rise of the Silithid
  • [49] Sprinkle's Secret Ingredient
  • [51] The Stone Circle
  • [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail
  • [52] It's a Secret to Everybody
  • [53] The Eastern Pylon
  • [53] The Northern Pylon
  • [53] The Western Pylon
  • [55] The Apes of Un'Goro
  • [56] The Bait for Lar'korwi

If you did Zul'Farrak, you should also have:

  • [50] The Ancient Egg
  • [51] Saving Sharpbeak

If you did Uldaman, you should also have:

  • [50] Return to Ironforge

So let's get started!

1. Get out of Aerie Peak by the small path to the east and go to Rhapsody Shindigger. (26,48)

Turn in [43] Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail. Watch him get drunk and then get the quest [43] Rhapsody's Tale.

2. Ride southeast to Valorwind Lake at (40,60). Dive in and look for some white/red mushroom named Violet Tragan. Loot one. (Don't right click it when its in your inventory!)

3. Ride northeast towards the area in between Shaol'Watha and Jintha'Alor (65,50). At this spot and widely around it you should find Silvermane Stalkers. They are level 47-48 wolves and they are stealthed. Run circles in the area I described among the trees, hit tab while looking around. You should find them quickly, they drop the stuff you need 40% of the time. Keep doing this until you got 5 Silvermane Stalker Flanks.

(Warlocks: Buff yourself with detect invisibility)

4. If you did NOT do Zul'Farrak and do not have the following quests, just skip to paragraph 5.

  • [50] The Ancient Egg
  • [51] Saving Sharpbeak

If you got those quests, go to Jintha'Alor (66,66). Fight your way to the top of Jintha'Alor, then go to Vile Priestess Hexx (59,78). She has one guard, you can wait till the Priestess wanders in the cave and get her guard solo. Then get the Priestess solo, kill her and loot the Hexx's key from her. Also don't forget to forge the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, just click your Sacred Mallet while being next to the Altar. Go inside the cave behind where you fought the Vile Priestess. Follow this path to find the Ancient Egg:

You'll find Hitah'ya the Keeper and 2 guards patrolling around the Ancient Egg. Kill Hitah'ya the Keeper first, use your cooldowns and pots if necessary. Get the Ancient Egg.

Once you have the Ancient Egg, clear the way out of the cave back to the Altar, from there go north towards the other cave at (56,68). Kill the two trolls guarding it's entrance. Then go through the cave and on the other side of it you'll find Sharpbeak in it's cage. Free Sharpbeak and watch him fly away with his parents.

5. You are done, hearthstone back to Aerie Peak.

Turn in the quest [47] Food for Baby and get the follow up [48] Becoming a Parent. Turn it in, congratulations on your new pet. It's useless but it's cute (and wasn't a waste of time XP wise).
Turn in [51] Saving Sharpbeak.

Fly to Ironforge. If you didn't do the Uldaman instance, skip to the next paragraph. If you did Uldaman, go northeast to the Hall of Explorers, turn in

  • [50] Return to Ironforge at Historian Karnik, get the follow up
  • [50] A Future Task. Turn it in at High Explorer Magellas.

    Go to the Deeprun Tram and take the tram to Stormwind, go to the Dwarven District and find Brohann Caskbelly (64,21). turn in [43] Rhapsody's Tale, get the follow up [50] Into the Temple of Atal'Hakkar if you plan to do this instance in the future.

    Take the tram back to Ironforge.


    Visit the AH, sell junk, repair and re-stock consumables.

    ==Optional== If you want, you can go to Maraudon, it's a nice little instance.Follow this guide I wrote about Maraudon. If you do Maraudon, don't turn in the quest [51] Seed of Life though, it's in Moonglade and we'll make a stop there later on.


    In Ironforge, go to the inn and make it your home location.

    Go to the AH and buy 15 Silk Cloth if you don't have that on you already. You'll need them for a searing gorge quest.

    In short: Go to Searing Gorge.
    In details: From Ironforge, fly to Thelsamar, then go south to Badlands. In Badlands you can find the entrance to the Searing Gorge on the western end of the Badlands, south of Kargath (the horde outpost) at (3,61)

    Inside Searing Gorge:

    Follow the trail north and then west around the area named "The Cauldron" and find Kalaran Windblade (38,39). Get the quest [48] Divine Retribution then talk to Kalaran again and go through his dialogue. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [48] The Flawless Flame.

    Go a bit further west and you should find a path going up the mountain to Thorium Point (32,33).

    In Thorium point, find the wanted poster at (37,26). Right click it and get the quests:

    • [48] JOB OPPORTUNITY: Culling the Competition
    • [48] STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
    • [50] WANTED: Overseer Maltorius

    Get the 3 quests from Hansel Heavyhands:

    • [49] Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More like It.
    • [49] Curse These Fat Fingers
    • [49] Fiery Menace!
  • and [50] What the Flux? from Master Smith Burninate.

    Note: If you ever need to sell and repair, you should go to this NPC.

    Get the flight path.

    1. First, go south where you'll find a big wheel (its part of a dark iron dwarven forge) and kill all the Dark Iron Steamsmith you find there (39,50), there should be 5 or 6 around here.
    Hopefully one of them will drop the smithing tuyere you need. If not, lets just go on, we'll come back here later.

    2. Start heading east and kill any Elemental or Heavy War Golem you find on the way. Also kill Dark Iron Taskmasters and Dark Iron Slavers on your way. Don't wait for respawns, just kill them while going east. At (59,35) mount up and ride southeast to Grimesilt Dig Site and find a little wooden house at (65,62) behind the dig site, which actually looks like some public toilet. Right click it and get the quest [45] Caught!.

    3. Start killing the Dark Iron dwarves in the camp as well as the golems around here. After you have killed 8 Dark Iron Gelologists, go back to the Wooden Outhouse and turn in the quest, don't get the follow up though.

    Now go back to the digsite, and clear it entirely, especially the northern part. Get full HP/Mana and get the quest from Dorius Stonetender [46] Suntara Stones. Escort him.

    At (66,44) he will stop to catch his breath and will get ambushed by 2 lvl 43 Dark Iron Steelshifter. Easy fight.

    4. At (74,19) he will get assassinated (you can't help it) and a parchment will appear on the floor next to him.

    Click it and turn in the quest, get the follow up [48] Suntar Stones.

    5. Ride southwest to the entrance of The Cauldron (63,38). Inside the Cauldron, kill all the Dark Iron dwarves and Elementals you find. The Blazing Elementals and the Magma Elementals drop the Heart of Flame you need. Also kill any Heavy War Golem you find.

    Note: If while killing dwarves you find a Grimsite Outhouse Key, right-click it to start the quest [47] The Key to Freedom, we will turn it in later on.

    6. Progress westwards inside the Cauldron until you find an iron slope going up at (46,53). Follow this slope until you find an entrance to the Slag Pit at (41,54).

    7. Inside the slag pit go across the bridge, on your left will be the Quarry Gate, go through it.
    Work your way northwards until a bigger room where you'll find Enslaved Archeologists and a big golem lying down (ignore it). Go up the iron slope, midway on the slope you have 2 options, straight or left. Go straight. You'll soon enter a room with several pairs of taskmasters and slavers.

    In this room further in and to the right you'll find Overseer Maltorius and 2 Dark Iron Sentries. Kill Overseer Maltorius and loot his head. I recommend killing Maltorius first, he hurts the most but is a caster and doesn't have much armor.

    Behind him on the ground you should see Secret Plans: Fiery Flux. Loot them.

    On the opposite side of the alcove where you found Overseer Maltorius you should see an iron bridge. On the other side of the bridge, jump down to the lower floor at the drop off spot indicated on the map. From this spot go east and you should find Incendosaurs, kill 20 of them.

    8.
    When done with that, go back up the ramp and then get out of the Slag pit, jump down back into the Cauldron and work your way westwards looking for Blaze Elementals until you get 4 Heart of Flame.

    9. Then go to the iron slope you took previously at (46,53) Follow this slope but this time skip the first entrance to the slag pit, and get on the elevator (40,54). The elevator will stop at the 1st floor and 2nd floor but don't get off. Wait until it's on the 3rd floor from there you can get out of the Cauldron.

    Kill every Steamsmith you find around the buildings infront and to the left of you after getting off the elevator (39,50). There is 5 Steamsmiths at this spot, pray that one of them drops a Smithing Tuyere. If not don't worry, we'll kill more of these later.

    10. Kill every Heavy War Golem around and go north to Karalan Windblade (39,38). Turn in the quest and get the follow up [48] Forging the Shaft

    11. Go to Thorium Point and turn in the quests you have completed. When turning in [50] What the Flux?, Master Smith Burninate will open 3 new quests to you, but they are just to work on thorium brotherhood faction, so don't bother unless you care about this faction.

    ==Note== Dark Iron Dwarves sometimes drop Dark Iron Scraps, don't sell them. We'll need them for a plaguelands quest much later in the guide.

    You should be level 51 by now.

    Level 51

    1. Sell and repair, then go south to the big dwarven forge/wheel (39,50) and kill Dark Iron Steamsmiths again, if you still need the Tuyere.

    2. Then go west and then south, basically staying close to the cauldron but never going down in it. Kill every dwarf and golem on your way. Basically make circles around the cauldron. Also make sure you kill any Greater Lava Spider on sight.

    There is alot of them in an area west of the cauldron (28,47).

    While doing circles around the cauldron, make sure you kill the Dark Iron Lookouts you can find at the feet of each of the 4 watch towers. They drop the Lookout's Spyglass you need for one of the quests.

    3. Anyway, as soon as you got 8 Thorium Plated Daggers, go back to Kalaran Windblade, even if you didn't finish the other quests yet.

    Note: The Thorium Plated Daggers can drop on any dark iron dwarf, it generally takes me a full turn around the cauldron to get 8 of them.

    Turn in the quest at Kalaran Windblade and get the follow up [50] The Flame's Casing

    4. Go kill the 5 Dark Iron Steamsmiths again before you go, if you haven't got the Smithing Tuyere yet.

    5. Go west to the Twilight camp at (24,34). There is a cavern with Twilight mobs further to the west but don't go there.

    6. First you should go up a narrow path up the mountain. When you are up the path, you should face your first twilight mobs. Clear through them eastwards until you reach a small pool of lava. (27,26)

    The pool of lava might look too crowded, but actually you can get solo pulls if you know the trick. Out of the 6 mobs at this lava pool, 3 of them are Twilight Idolaters, and they don't assist if you pull a mob that is next to them, they are busy performing a ritual. They will only attack if you attack them directly.

    So first you must pull the other mobs one by one and then the idolaters. Once you go the lava pool cleared, you can go get the quest from that captured elf, Zamael Lunthistle. After taking his quest, talk to him again and go through his dialogue, then turn in the quest and get the follow up: [50] Prayer to Elune.

  • Now all that is left for you to do is kill Twilight mobs (any of them) until you get :
    • Symbol of Ragnaros
    • Prayer to Elune

    7. When you got both these items, go back to Kalaran Windblade.
    Turn in your quest at Kalaran Windblade and get the follow up [50] The Torch of Retribution. Turn it in, watch him craft the torch, then get the quest [50] The Torch of Retribution. Right click the staff surrounded by a green aura, complete the quest. Talk to Kalaran again, get the quest [50] Squire Maltrake.

    Turn in the quest at Squire Maltrake and get the follow up [52] Set Them Ablaze!

    1. Go southwest to the first watch tower (33,52). Don't forget to kill any mob you might still need on the way (golem, spider, dark iron steamsmith or lookout)

    When you are at the 1st watch tower, clear any mobs guarding it, then search the Torch of Retribution in your inventory, equip it, and put it on a hotkey.

    Climb up the tower and search for a small bowl on the floor named Sentry Brazier and right-click it.

    This should light up the brazier.

    Do exactly the same thing on the 2nd tower (35,59), the 3rd tower (43,63) and the 4th tower accessible only through a bridge at (52,57).

    Note:
    The 4th tower is the one with the most Dark Iron Lookouts, in case you didn't get a Lookout's Spyglass.

    2. After you are done setting the 4th tower ablaze, go east to the Grimsite Dig Camp and go turn in [47] The Key to Freedom at the wooden outhouse.

    3. Go back to Squire Maltrake (38,39), turn in the quest and watch Kalaran transform into a dragon, make his speech and then he'll fly away. Right-click the treasure chest named "Hoard of the Black Dragonflight" next to where he was, accept the quest [50] Trinkets...
    Then click the chest again and complete the quest. Look in your inventory for the red box named Hoard of the Black Dragonflight, open it and loot whats inside of it (especially the Molt, which you will need later on for a quest)

    You don't need the Torch of Retribution anymore, you can destroy it or bank it.

    4.
    Now there's only two things left for you to do:

    • Finish all the quests that you haven't finished yet, and you already should know where all the mobs you need are
    • Kill Dark Iron Dwarves (Taskmasters, Slavers, Lookouts, Steamsmiths) until you have 30 Dark Iron Scraps

    Once you have completed those two objectives, go back to Thorium Point and turn them in.

    We're done here, hearthstone back to Ironforge.


    Sell junk, repair, visit the AH, re-stock food/drink.
    Go to the bank and put the 30 Dark Iron Scraps there, I'll tell you when to pick them up.

    Go to the Hall of Explorers, turn in [46] Suntara Stones, don't get the follow up.

    In the Hall of Explorers, find Laris Geardawdle (75,23), get the quest [52] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way and [52] Passing the Burden from Historian Karnik.

    Go to the Mystic ward, turn in the quest and get the follow up [52] Arcane Runes from Tymor, also get [52] An Easy Pickup from him.

    Go to the Military Ward, turn in and get the follow up [52] Signal for Pickup. Turn it in immediately so you receive a Standard Issue Flare Gun.

    Go to Stormwind and take the boat to Auberdine, then fly to Rut'theran Village, go to Darnassus and find the Temple of the Moon.

    Turn in [49] Rise of the Silithid, get the other quest [53] March of the Silithid.
    Turn in[50] Prayer to Elune.

    ==Note== If by any chance you have a Swim Speed Potion somewhere in your bank, grab it, there will be a long swim soon.

    Go back to Rut'theran Village, fly to Astraanar, or if you don't have that flight path, fly to Auberdine, then keep following the road until you hit Astraanar (36,49).
    Get the flight path if you don't already have it.

    Then fly to Forest Song. If you don't have that flight path, keep going east following the road until (87,48). When you're there don't forget to get the flight path.

    From Forest Song, go east and stay on the road until you zone into Azshara (92,46).

    Right after entering Azshara you'll find Talrendis Point on your right-hand side (11,77). Get the new flight path. Get the two quests from the tauren named Loh'atu:

    • [47] A Land Filled with Hatred
    • [47] Spiritual Unrest

    1. Go north on the other side of the road to Shadowsong Shrine (13,74). Kill 6 Highborne Apparitions and 6 Highborne Lichling. There's more of them just a bit further to the northeast.

    2. When done with that, go further to the northeast until Haldarr Encampment, kill satyrs there until you have [47] A Land Filled with Hatred complete.

    3. Go back to Talrendis Point and turn in the two quests. You should be level 52 by now. If you're not, don't worry, there will be an optional circuit soon.

    Level 52

    4. Get back on the road and ride northeast. Go around the ruins of Eldarath by the west side of it and keep going northeast. Avoid the Timbermaw Furbolgs, don't kill any of them even if they attack you, just run away. Avoid the other timbermaw camp "ursolan", go around it by the east side and keep riding northeast until you get to sharp hill at (53,21), get to the top of it, you can only access it from the north. Uptop you'll find a goblin named Kim'jael. Get his quest [53] Kim'jael Indeed.

    5. Just southeast of Kim'jael you'll find Thalassian Base Camp (55,26).
    Start killing Blood Elves, in the blood elf camp you'll find several crates named Kim'Jael's Equipment scattered around. Open them all, most of the time you'll find food in it, but 25% of the time you'll find Kim'Jael's compass, scope, etc.

    6. Once you got the Kim'Jael quest complete, go back to Kim'Jael, turn in the quest, get the follow up [53] Kim'Jael's "Missing" Equipment.

    1. Ride southwest and find the path going down to the Shattered Strand (45,37). Simply follow the yellow dots on the map. You'll encounter some naga pretty soon, kill every naga on your way, go southwest, until you reach the Ruins of Eldarath by a path at (41,48).

    2. Go southwest and at (39,50) you'll find a Pillar named Rune of Jin'yael.

    Clear the 2 ghosts guarding it and any naga close to it. Right-click the pillar and you'll receive the Rubbing: Rune of Jin'yael.

    3. A bit further to the south, at the central point of the Ruins of Eldarath you'll find the Rune of Beth'Amara (36,53). Right-click it and get the rubbing.

    4. Just southeast of this spot is the Rune of Markri (39,55), get the rubbing.

    5. And the last one is much further to the south and a bit to the east, at (42,64) you'll find the Rune of Sael'hai, get the rubbing.

    Grind your way through nagas back from where you came from until the path leading to the Shattered Strand at (45,47).

    You should find "Some Rune" on one of the nagas on the shattered strand, keep killing Spitelash sirens and myrmidons until one drops "Some Rune".

    6. Find the slope taking you out of the Shattered Strand back on high ground at (46,39) and then ride northeast back to Kim'Jael, turn in the quest.

    7. Ride back to the Shattered strand by the same path (45,37). This time don't kill the nagas, just ride along the shore directly south, avoiding nagas as much as possible and keep going until you hit a spot where you can't go further without having to swim (58,73).

    8. Swim east and then south to the island marked on the map (77,91), just be careful to avoid the elite giants that walk at the bottom of the sea. Anything else is manageable.

    Get on the Helipad and use your Standard Issue Flare Gun from your inventory. After a few seconds a gyrocopter will land and Pilot Xiggs will come out, turn in the quest [52] Arcane Runes and get the follow up [52] Return to Tymor (don't worry there is still 11000 xp to come from turning that one, I didn't make you cross the ocean for peanuts Eye ) You can destroy the Flare Gun.

    Hearthstone back to Ironforge. Go to the Mystic Ward, find Tymor and turn in [52] Return to Tymor.

    Sell, repair and resupply food/drink up to 4 stacks. Train your new skills.

    You should be about halfway through level 52. If you are not, here is a little optional circuit you can do:

    ==Optional Circuit==

    Fly to Nethergarde Keep (Blasted Lands).

    Ride out of Nethergarde Keep, go west / northwest until you find the two Blood Elves at (50,14). Get all their quests:

    • [50] A Boar's Vitality
    • [50] Snickefang Jowls
    • [50] The Basilisk's Bite
    • [50] The Decisive Striker
    • [50] Vulture's Vigor

    Start killing directly from here, you can find all the animals you need to kill for theses quests in the upper part of Blasted Lands. Avoid the area around the Dark Portal and the Tainted Scar. Avoid anything that is level 52 or above.

    Kill pretty much everything on your way until you have all the quests completed. Beware of the big drake flying around named Teremus the Devourer. Besides this, just kill everything Sticking out tongue What you'll need to kill the most though are vultures and basilisks, so here is a path you should follow, listing every possible Vulture spawn (there's also a few vulture roamers but you'll run into those too from time to time) so try to get all of them every cycle.

    Completing all the quests will take a while, but here are a few tips:

    • Melees: As soon as possible try to finish the quest [50] The Decisive Striker and go turn it in, you'll get a +25 AGI buff for 1 Hour. When that buff wears out, go turn in either Snickerfang Jowls (+25 STR buff) or A Boar's Vitality (+25 STA buff) depending on your preferences.

    • Casters: As soon as possible try to finish the quest [50] A Boar's Vitality and turn it in for a +25 STA buff. Later on after your sta buff wears off, try to finish [50] The Basilisk's Bite for a +25 INT buff.

    These buffs will help you to kill faster.

    While killing mobs in Blasted Lands you might loot an Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment on one of them. Go to Kum'Isha the Collector (51,35). Get the quest [55] Everything Counts in Large Amounts and turn it in. No need to get the follow up quest unless you get another Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment.

    If you are extremely lucky you'll find a Flawless Draenetyst Sphere In that case get the other quest from Kum'Isha and turn it in.

    Turn in all the other blasted lands quest when they are done, don't get the follow ups (they are repeatable if you want to get more of those consumable buffs later on).


    Hearthstone back to Ironforge, sell junk, repair, etc.

    ==End of Optional Circuit==

    Go to Stormwind, take the boat to Auberdine.

    Fly to Emerald Sanctuary. If you don't have that flight path, simply follow the road from Astranaar to Felwood, and then keep going north until you find Emerald sanctuary (51,81).

    In Emerald Sanctuary, get the following quests:

    • [51] Forces of Jaedenar
    • [54] The Corruption of the Jadefire
    • [54] Verifying the Corruption

    Go south, on the other side of the trail you'll find Grazle, get his quest [48] Timbermaw Ally.

    1. Go southeast till you find Arathandris silversky (54,87). Get her quest [55] Cleansing Felwood.

    2. Go west and you'll find Deadwood Village (49,88), start slaughtering Furbolgs. Keep doing that until you complete [48] Timbermaw Ally

    3. Go back to Grazle and turn in the quest, get the follow up [55] Speak to Nafien.

    4.
    Ride north following the road until (43,67), to the west should be a green pool, go there and kill Cursed Oozes. Each time you kill one, and after looting it, target the corpse and click on an Empty Cursed Ooze Jar from your inventory (you get these by opening the Package of Empty Ooze Containers you should have in your inventory).

    Fill up 6 Cursed Ooze Jar in the same fashion.

    5. Get back on the road and ride north until (41,59), just a bit before Jaedenar, on the left side of the road is a small green pool with tainted oozes. Fill up 6 Tainted Ooze Jar. If you lack oozes there is more just north, on the other side of the path leading to Jaedenar.

    6. Go to Jaedenar (40,57), clear yourself a path westwards through Jadefire Hounds, Guardians, Adepts and Cultists until you get to the green moonwell at (35,60), then go back out of Jaedenar and you should be done with [51] Forces of Jaedenar normally. If the area is crowded, you'll find more stuff to kill inside the cave at the beginning of Jaedenar.

    7. Go back to Emerald Sanctuary. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [52] Collection of the Corrupt Water from Greta Mosshoof. You should be level 53 by now. If you are not, no worries, keep going, there will be more optional circuits in the future.

    Level 53

    1. Ride north on the road until (42,69), which is just before the green pool where you killed the Cursed Oozes. Go west until you find Satyrs among the ruins (38,69). Kill whats on the kill list of [54] The Corruption of the Jadefire. Shadowstalkers are stealthed but you can see them from far enough. Work your way westwards through the satyrs until you reach a green moonwell. Xavathras should be to the left of it with a guard. I killed the weak guard first quickly and then killed Xavathras. Use long cooldown abilities if needed. Then get the last kills you need to complete the quest on your way out.

    2. When [54] The Corruption of the Jadefire is complete, get back on the road, go north and then west back into Jaedenar, once again clear the way up to the green moonwell where you already went to when you did [51] Forces of Jaedenar.

    Get close to the moonwell and click the Empty Canteen you should find in your inventory.

    3. Get out of Jaedenar and ride back to Emerald Sanctuary. Turn in [52] Colleciton of the Corrupt Water and get the follow up [52] Seeking Spiritual Aid. Turn in [54] Corruption of the Jadefire and get [54] Further Corruption.

    4. Get back on the road, ride north and this time past bloodvenom falls. Shortly after the bridge go right into Shatter Scar Vale (39,44). Kill 2 Entropic Beasts, they are immune fire and deal fire damage. Walk around in the Shatter Scar Vale until you get the "Explore the craters" complete message. Further to the east and a bit to the north at the last crater you should find Entropic Horrors, they are just a bit higher level than the Entropic Beasts but still in your range. Kill two Entropic Horrors then get back on the road. If you don't find Entropic Horros, kill Entropic Beasts until Entropic Horros respawn instead.

    1. Ride north until the road curves to the right, just a bit further after the curve at (42,23), go north on a trail going up to Jadefire Run.

    In Jadefire Run clear yourself a path towards the west, and then take a narrow path towards the southwest.

    At the end of that path you'll find Xavaric (39,22), he is surrounded by 2 other satyrs and he moves from one to the other. You can actually pull each of the guards solo, if you wait for Xavaric to be away enough from one of them. Kill Xavaric, he's an easy fight if pulled solo.

    Loot the Flute of Xavaric and right click it to get the quest [54] Flute of Xavaric.

    Keep killing Satyrs in Jadefire run until you get 5 Jadefire Felbind (they can drop from any of the satyrs in Jadefire run) and complete the kill list of [54] Further Corruption.

    2. Get back on the road and ride until Irontree Cavern as shown on map (55,15). Kill Warpwood Elementals until you get 15 Blood Amber, they have a 100% drop rate.

    3. Get back on the main road, go east and then south to Talonbranch Glade (62,24). Get the new flight path, sell and repair.

    4. Get back on the road and ride north until the entrance of Timbermaw Hold, talk to Nafien, turn in the quest. Get the other quest [55] Deadwood of the North.

    5. Go inside Timbermaw Hold, after the bridge keep going east until you exit into Winterspring.

    6. In Winterspring, ride south to Donova Snowden, turn in the quest [52] It's a Secret to Everybody, let her do her speech, and then get the follow up [52] The Videre Elixir, don't get the other quest.

    If you didn't go to Maraudon and/or if you don't have the quest [51] Seed of Life, skip the next paragraph. Go back to Talonbranch Glade, fly to Feathermoon in Feralas.

    If you have the quest [51] Seed of Life,go back to Timbermaw Hold, this time in the tunnels, go under the bridge and to the north, keep going until you exit in Moonglade. In Moonglade go north straight to the shrine of Remulos (36,42), turn in [51] Seed of Life at Keeper Remulos. Then go south/southeast to the Hyppogryph master at (49,67) and fly to Feathermoon in Feralas..

    10 minute break while on the Hippogryph!


    In Feathermoon, go to the inn and make it your home location.

    Go to the house southeast and get [50] The Stave of Equinex from Troyas Moonbreeze.

    1. Take the boat to Feralas.

    2. Mount up and ride east towards the road, then follow it north until you reach the "o" from the Twin Colossals. At this point go northwest till (42,21), where you will find a stone giant named Rockbiter. Get the quest [49] The Giant Guardian from him.

    3. Get back on the road and go north until you see some white ruins just west of the road, with a gnoll - Miblon Snarltooth - infront of it (45,11). Get off your mount, and watch this video, it shows you how to get the Evoroot without buying the bait from Gregan. Thanks Laurens from Twisted Nether (EU) for the video!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oI3iefJ3_w

    Loot an Evoroot from one of the pedestals.

    4. Then go directly southwest to the Ruins of Ravenwind. We're now gonna do the quest [50] The Stave of Equinex.
    There are level 48-50 Harpies everywhere in those ruins. Be careful with runners.

    Go southwest to some big ruined arch (40,12).

    The Flame of Samha is on the top of it in the middle. To get there you have to get behind the building and jump from stones to stones until you can reach the flame of Samha. Right click it and loot the Samha Essence.

    Then go back and jump down the building, directly northeast of it and on slightly higher ground among ruins you will find the flame of Imbel (39,9.5). Loot the Imbel Essence.

    Then go southwest (ignore Shay Leafrunner for now if you see her) until (37,11). The Flame of Lahassa is under a dark brown gazebo.

    Loot the Lahassa Essence.

    Then go south to (38,15), next to a thick square tower you'll find another dark brown gazebo, inside of it is the Flame of Byltan, right-click it. Loot the Byltan Essence.

    5. Now that you have all 4 essences, go north to the Equinex Monolith (38,13).

    Clear some space around it, then go to it, search your bags for Troyas's Stave. Right-click it to charge the stave, then right click the monolith, complete the quest, get the follow up [50] The Morrow Stone.

    6. Get out of the Monolith area and then clear yourself a path northwest to Shay Leafrunner.

    Before you take the quest, here is the trick :

    After taking the quest you must loot the bell from the chest next to Shay. Make a hotkey of that bell. Now here is the problem with Shay, she wanders off every now and then, she always says something like "oh what a beautiful flower" and goes away. When she does that you are supposed to ring the bell and she will run back to you. The problem is that the bell has a rather long cooldown so she ends up wandering off too often.
    The trick is that as soon as you ring the bell, she will run to you, so you should start running southeast / south towards Rockbiter (42,21) and she will keep running after you until she catches up. When she catches up she will say something like 'I wandered off again, sorry". But the cooldown on the bell will be reset already.

    In short: When she wanders off, ring the bell and run away, don't let her catch up to you. Even if you get aggroed by mobs keep running. Only stop if Shay herself gets attacked, then you will have to defend her. You can run and look behind you by holding your mouse's left click and moving the mouse, to make sure she's still running after you.

    Once at the giant, turn in the quest.

    7. Go southeast to Gregan Brewspewer (45,25). Turn in the quest [52] The Videre Elixir.

    Hearthstone back to Feathermoon. Turn in [50] The Morrow Stone.

    Fly to Gadgetzan, make it your home location.

    Turn in [49] Sprinkle's Secret Ingredient, get the follow up [49] Delivery for Marin. Turn it in at Marin Noggenfogger on the other side of the town. Take his follow up, wait 5 seconds and turn it in.

    Now you'll be able to buy Noggenfogger Elixir from Marin as much as you want.


    (Kudos to the original artist, whose name I don't know unfortunately)

    Turn in [53] March of the Silithid, get the follow up [53] Bungle in the Jungle.

    Ride south to Marvon Rivetseeker (53,46) and turn in [51] The Stone Circle. Get the two follow up quests if you plan to do the Sunken Temple instance.


    ==Optional== For those who have the quest [50] The Ancient Egg, go turn it at Steamwheedle port, and get the follow up quest [53] The God Hakkar (Dungeon) if you plan to do the Sunken Temple instance.

    Fly to Ratchet. Get the quest [55] Volcanic Activity from Liv Rizzlefix.

    From ratchet ride south along the merchant coast and go east to the Tidus Stair (65,43), right next to the ocean you should find Islen Waterseer next to a hut. Turn in [52] Seeking Spiritual Aid, watch her summon a water elemental spirit and then take her follow up [54] Cleansed Water Returns to Felwood.

    ==Note== For those who want to do the Sunken Temple instance, now would be a good time to do it, you have almost all the quests available (minus your class quest, which you can easily get) and it's a fun instance. Follow my Sunken Temple Guide and have fun.

    Go back to Ratchet, fly to Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood.

    Turn in:

    • [54] Cleansed Water Returns to Felwood, get the follow up [55] Dousing the flames of Protection
    • [54] Flute of Xavaric, get the follow up [54] Felbound Ancients
    • [54] Further Corruption
    • [54] Verifying the Corruption

    1. Ride southeast to Arathandris Silversky (54,87), turn in [55] Cleansing Felwood. Talk to her and ask her for a Cenarion beacon. From now on when you kill stuff in Felwood you can get Corrupted Soul shards, which you will turn in later for cenarion plant salves. With those salves you can cure corrupted plants in felwood and get consumables in return. I personally like the Songflower buff a lot (+70 Crit rating and +15 to all stats for 60 min).

    Don't get any of her quests, you can get the quest items without having them in your quest log. If you have gathering skills (like Herbalism, Mining, Skinning), you will be able to complete extra quests with her, for some decent exp reward.

    You should be level 54 by now, or at least pretty close.

    Level 54

    2. Get back on the road, ride to Jaedenar (40,57). in Jaedenar clear the way towards the corrupted moonwell you already went to before to fill up the vial. Enter the Shadow Hold at (35,58).

    At this point if you can find people to group it will be much easier. Dousing the Flames of Protection is doable solo (but kinda hard), on the other hand there's an escort quest which is difficult solo, at least for most classes. It also depends on how crowded the area is, if there's lots of people farming in the shadow hold already, it's much easier to solo it.

    Clear your way down the first tunnel, in the first room you'll find a captured elve named Arko'narin. This is the NPC that gives the escort quest, but to get it you first need to find a Blood Red Key from one of the mobs inside Shadow Hold, click it and get the quest [55] A Strange Red Key. You have to turn this quest at Captured Arko'narin later. The follow up will be the escort quest.

    In the same room you can find the 1st and 2nd brazier (the 2nd one is on the slope going to the next tunnel), click them to turn them off.

    If you are in a group (at least a duo of lvl 54 people), and get a Blood Red Key (the whole group can loot it if it drops), tell everyone to turn in the first quest at the captured elf but to NOT take the follow up until everyone turned in the first quest. When everyone has turned in the first quest [55] A Strange Red Key, one person should start the follow up, which is the escort quest.
    Note: You have to click on the elf through the cage. Some people try to click the cage itself, but that doesn't work.

    Escort Arko'Narin to her equipment. Right after she gets her equipment, she'll do something reckless, charge into 3 of those big demons. That's the big fight of the escort, use your cooldowns and pots on this one. If you manage it you should be fine, the rest isn't too difficult. In the same room where her equipment is you'll find the 3rd and 4th Brazier, turn them off too. At the exit you'll get attacked by Trey Lightshadow, this should be an easy kill.
    Defeat it and then Arko'narin will leave and you'll get the quest complete message.

    3. Once you are done with both [55] Dousing the Flames of Protection and [55] Rescue From Jaedenar, go back to the Emerald Sanctuary. Turn in both quests, get the follow ups [57] Retribution of the Light and [58] A Final Blow.

    Fly to Talonbranch Glade, go through the timbermaw cave to Winterspring and ride south to Donova Snowden. Turn in [52] The Videre Elixir, get the follow up [52] Meet at the Grave.

    Go back to Talonbranch Glade, fly to Rut'theran Village, get the quest [55] Moontouched Wildkin and [56] Starfall (55,92).

    Go to Darnassus. Go to the Temple of the Moon and fill up Eridan's Vial at the pool (39,84).

    Go to Ironforge, train your new skills. Visit the AH, we need the Mithril Casing now, so buy it or pick it up from your bank if you alrady bought it. If you really can't find a Mithril Casing, don't sweat it, it's just one extra quest, not a big deal, move on.

    In Ironforge, go to the Hall of Explorers, turn in [52] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way, get the follow up.

    When you're ready to go again, hearthstone to Gadgetzan.

    In Gadgetzan, get the quest [54] Super Sticky from Tran'rek.

    Go to the Gadgetzan grayveyard, just east of Gadgetzan (53,28). Drink the Videre Elixir, you'll die, but don't worry, no durability loss from this, it's normal. Release spirit but don't resurrect, go directly north from the Graveyard and up the mountain, you should soon see the yellow "?" on your minimap, go to it and talk to Gaeriyan, turn in and get the follow up [52] A Grave Situation. Go back to the graveyard, resurrect and click the gravestone named A Conspicuous Gravestone, complete the quest and get the follow up [52] Linken's Sword. You can destroy the other Videre Elixir.

    Fly to Marshall's Refuge in Un'Goro Crater. Turn in [52] Linken's Sword, get the follow up, [52] A Gnome's Assistance.

    • [55] Lost!
    • [55] The Apes of Un'Goro
    • [55] Volcanic Activity
    • [56] The Bait for Lar'korwi

    24 Quests. That's a lot, so let's clear some up right away. This will be a very long circuit, so make space in your bags and re-stock up to 3 stacks of food/drink.

    ==Note== From this point on, kill the following mobs on sight:

    • Bloodpetals of any kind (those walking flowers)
    • Diametradons
    • Pterrordaxes

    Also, don't destroy or sell the following items:

    • Un'goro Soil (Needed for [53] Bungle in the Jungle)

    And also beware of the Tyrant Devilsaurs, there is a few of them roaming in Un'Goro. They are lvl 55ish elite, run fast and hit hard. So watch your back.

    1. Get out of Marshall's Refuge and ride east along the wall until (54,13). At this spot go up the mountain and you should find the Northern Crystal Pylon. Click it, and examine it, you should get a "quest complete" message.
    Further north of the crystal you should find some Pterrordax (3 of them normally), kill them.

    2. Go southeast to Fungal Rock. You should find plenty of apes there outside and inside the cave.

    Kill apes there until you get 2 un'goro gorilla, stomper and thunderer pelts. Be careful when fighting the Un'Goro Gorillas, they call for help when they get low health, and any other ape in a rather wide range will come to help. So, fight them away from other apes.

    3. Once you got all the pelts, go back inside the cave, at the first fork go right and you'll find A-Me 01, turn in the quest, get the follow up, which you can turn in right away if you have the Mithril Casing. Get full HP/Mana and get the follow up, escort A-Me all the way back to Karna Remtravel, turn in [53] Chasing A-Me 01.

    4. Go southwest until you hit the river (40,27). On the southern side of the river you'll find plenty of Dinos and some Oozes.

    In this area, kill every Frenzied Pterrordax, Elder Diametradon, Bloodpetal Trapper and Ooze you find. Open the bag of empty ooze containers from your inventory and put the 10 Empty Pure Sample Jar on a hotkey. Everytime you kill an ooze, loot it and then target the corpse and click the jars to fill them up. You can stop killing Oozes once you got 10 Pure Samples.

    Keep doing this until you complete:

    • [51] Shizzle's Flyer
    • [51] Roll the Bones (they drop from the Elder Diametradons approximately 25% drop chance)
    • [54] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way
    • 15/15 Frenzied Pterrordax kills

    This might take a while but this is decent grinding since there's quite a lot of mobs, and you are completing 4 quests at the same time.

    ==Warning== Be careful, 2 devilsaurs roam this area from time to time.

    1. Go south to (31,50) and you'll find a little goblin named Krakle, get his quest quickly [55] Find the Source.

    2. Go directly west and a bit to the south and you will find the Western Crystal Pylon (23,57). Click it and examine it.

    3. Go southeast to the Expedition Camp at (38,66), try to avoid the aggros as much as possible because most mobs are too tough for you here. At the expedition camp, look for a pile of crates named Research Equipment and loot them.

    4. Go southeast and you should find a spot up the mountains with 4 or 5 Pterrordax there (44,87), kill them.

    5. A little further east and up the mountain (50,88). You should find 1 or 2 Pterrordax there, kill them. Go back and forth between this spot and the previous one until you get your 10 Pterrodax kills. Feel free do the next step while waiting for the respawns, they are pretty long (sometimes over 20 minutes).

    6. Go north to the Slithering Scar and clear yourself a path to the bug lair entrance at (50,76). Inside the bug lair at the first fork go left, clear the circular room and then stand in the middle of it, look in your inventory for a black vial named Scraping Vial and click it. If it doesn't work try different spots in this room until you get a Hive Wall Sample.

    At this point you might already have gotten a Gorishi Scent Gland. If you didn't, keep on killing these bugs until one drops. It can drop from any of the bugs, inside or outside the lair, it doesn't matter.

    1. Go east to Torwa Pathfinder (72,76). Turn in:

    • [55] The Apes of Un'Goro, get [55] The Mighty U'cha

    2. Go north until you find the Eastern Crystal Pylon (76,48). Click it and examine it.

    3. Go further east and you should see some huge dinosaur skeletons at (80,49). Be full health/mana and ready to face a level 56 mob. Open Torwa's Pouch in your inventory, loot the Preserved Threshadon Meat and the Pheromone Mixture, right click the meat, and then right click the Pheromone, Lar'korwi will appear, kill him. He's rather easy, I had no problem to solo it at all at level 54. Loot Lar'korwi's Head.

    4. Go northwest until the Expedition Encampment (68,36) and loot the Crate of Foodstuffs.

    5. Go northwest until you find 3 black pools with Tar Creepers and Tar Beasts around them (60,26). Clear these 3 pools until you have 12 Super Sticky Tar (drop rate is about 25%)

    6. Ride northeast to Fungal Rock (63,16). Enter the cave, at the fork take the narrow path in the middle, then go right and keep going until you hit the end of the cave.

    You should find a room with a puddle of water and a rock in the middle. There should be U'cha, lvl 55 Gorilla. There's another gorilla in the same room but you can pull it solo if you wait for U'cha to be away. Then pull U'cha solo, kill it and loot U'cha's Pelt.

    7.
    Get out of Fungal Rock. If you haven't finished [52] Muigin and Larion, go out and kill some more flowers until you complete it. Go to the area which is southeast of the black pools where we killed the Tar beasts. There are plenty there and they are the easiest flowers to kill (65,27).

    You should be level 55 by now.

    Level 55

    8. Go back to Marshall's Refuge. Turn in:

    • [51] Shizzle's Flyer
    • [52] Muigin and Larion, don't get the follow up
    • [55] Beware of Pterrordax
    • [51] Roll the Bones
    • [52] Alien Ecology
    • [53] Expedition Salvation

    Go inside the cave, turn in:

    • [52] A Gnome's Assistance, get the follow up [54] Linken's Memory
    • [53] The Eastern Pylon
    • [53] The Northern Pylon
    • [53] The Western Pylon

    Get [53] Making Sense of it. Turn it in. You can bank the book you get as reward from this quest (it tells you how to combine crystals at the various pylons for some consumable crystals with effects like heals or damage shields, but nothing so great, so just destroy the book, you can check wowhead for the combines anyway).


    Get out of the cave, sell junk (but don't sell all your Un'goro Soils, you will need 5 for the quest [53] Bungle in the Jungle. Re-stock food/drink.

    1. Go southeast to Fire Plume Ridge, climb the mountain from the northeastern side (53,43). Find your way to the top of Fire plume ridge. Kill every fire elemental on your way.

    2. When at the top of Fire Plume Ridge, next to the lava pool you should see a conic stone named Fire Plume Ridge Hot Spot. Search your inventory for Krakle's Thermometer, right-click it next to the conic stone, this should complete the quest [55] Finding the Source. Now kill more elementals until you finish [55] Volcanic Activity.

    3. Go down to the southern side of the mountain and find the cave where Ringo is (52,51). Turn in the quest [55] Lost! and get the follow up [55] A Little Help from my Friends. Search your inventory for Spraggle's Canteen and put it on a hotkey. Everytime Ringo faints, click the canteen while being next to him. Get off the mountain by the eastern side, then go north, run to Marshall's Refuge while making sure Ringo always follows you, try to avoid mobs as much as possible. Run inside Marshal's Refuge until Spraggle Frock, you'll get the quest complete message. Turn in [55] A Little Help from my Friends.

    4. Mount up, ride southwest to Golakka Hotsprings and find Krakle behind the geyser hill (30,50). Turn in the quest and get the follow up [55] The New Springs.

    5. Ride east/southeast to Torwa Pathfinder (71,76). Turn in the 2 quests:

    • [55] The Mighty U'cha
    • [56] The Bait for Lar'korwi

    Hearthstone to Gadgetzan. Turn in:

    • [54] Super Sticky
    • [53] Bungle in the Jungle, don't get the follow up.

    Fly to Ratchet, turn in [55] Volcanic Activity.

    Your quest log should look like this now:

    • [54] Felbound Ancients
    • [57] Retribution of the Light
    • [58] A Final Blow
    • [54] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way
    • [55] Moontouched Wildkin
    • [56] Starfall
    • [55] Deadwood of the North
    • [54] Linken's Memory
    • [55] The New Springs

    Fly to Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood. Turn in:

    • [54] Felbound Ancients, get the follow up [54] Purified!, which you can turn in immediately, and you should receive the Flute of the Ancients
    • [54] Linken's Memory, get the follow up [54] Silver Heart

    You should be level 56 now or pretty close. There will be optional circuits at the end of the guide, so if you're behind, don't worry, keep going.

    Level 56

    Go south to Arathandris Silversky (54,86). Turn in the salve quests you completed there (if you don't have any gathering skill, you will only have Salve via Hunting completed). These quests are repeatable but only the first turn-in gives XP. On the other hand you get Cenarion Plant Salves which you can use to cleanse corrupted plants in Felwood and get buffs or consumables from them. Check this guide for more details. I personally recommend finding a Songflower and getting the nifty +5% crit +15 All stats.

    Go back to Emerald Sanctuary and fly to Talonbranch Glade.

    Go through Timbermaw Hold. On the other side of the tunnel, get the quest [58] Winterfall Activity from Salfa.

    1. Ride south to Donova Snowden, turn in [55] The New Springs, get the follow up [56] Strange Sources.
    Also get the other quest [56] Threat of the Winterfall.

    From now on, throughout winterspring look for big white/blue feathers on the floor named Moontouched Feather, you need 10 of these.

    2. Ride east to Timbermaw Post (39,44). Kill 8 Winterfall Pathfinder, Den Watcher and Totemic there. If you find a Winterfall Ritual Totem, right-click it and get the quest [56] Winterfall Ritual Totem. If you don't find one, don't worry, we'll kill more of these later on.

    Keep killing these Furlbogs until you also get a Empty Firewater Flask, click it and get the quest [56] Winterfall Firewater.

    3. Get back on the road and ride east until a crossroad (53,34). Go north to Starfall Village (51,30). Turn in [56] Starfall, get the follow up. Talk to Jaron Stoneshaper, turn in the quest [56] The Ruins of Kel'Theril and get the follow up [56] Troubled Spirits of Kel Theril. Also get [59] Enraged Wildkin.

    4. Get back on the road, go south to the crossroads, when you are there go southeast this time until Everlook.

    Go to the inn, get the quests:

    • [52] Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff
    • [52] The Everlook Report
    • [55] Sister Pamela


    Make this inn your home location.

    Go to the opposite building, you'll find a banker in it. Bank The Everlook Report and Studies in Spirit Speaking. I'll say when to get them back from the bank later in the chapter.
    Sell and repair, resupply food and drink (3 stacks), get the flight path (it's on the eastern side of Everlook.)

    1. Go west to the Lake of Kel'Theril. Look around for blue runes amidst the floor named "Highborne Relic Fragment".

    Watch out before you pick any of them though, be full health/mana, because 2 lvl 55 spawn and attack you each time you click one. You can either kill them or run away.

    The 1st Relic fragment is at (55,43).

    2. The 3rd Relic fragment is just west of it at (53,43)

    3. The 4th Relic fragment one is directly north of the 3rd at (52,41)

    4. The 2nd Relic fragment one is west of the 4th one at (51,41)

    5.
    Ride west back to Donova Snowden (31,44) while getting as many Moontouched Feather as possible on the way.

    Turn in [56] Threat of the Winterfall and [56] Winterfall Firewater, get the follow up [56] Falling to Corruption.

    1. Ride north, back to Timbermaw Hold, go through the tunnel to Felwood. As soon as you exit in Felwood, jump down west in Felpaw Village. Clear yourself a path to the camp which is on the upper level of Felpaw Village, northwest of the green pool.

    Clear the camp and you should find a "Deadwood Cauldron" (60,5). Click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [56] Mystery Goo.

    2.
    Now stay in this area and kill furbolgs until you finish [55] Deadwood of the North and find a Deadwood Ritual Totem, which can drop from any of these furbolgs. Right-click it to start the quest [55] Deadwood Ritual Totem. You should also have gathered 5 Deadwood Headdress Feathers by now, if not, kill a few more furbolgs.

    3. Go back to Nafien, turn in [55] Deadwood of the North, get the follow up [55] Speak to Salfa. Also turn in [55] Feathers for Nafien. It just gives Timbermaw reputation.

    Go through the tunnel, on the other side turn in [55] Speak to Salfa.

    Ride south to Donova Snowden, turn in [56] Mystery Goo, get [56] Toxic Horrors.

    If you haven't gathered your 10 Moontouched Feathers yet, do it now.

    Go back to Felwood through the timbermaw tunnel.

    1. In Felwood, go southwest to the area marked on the map where you will find bears and wolves. Keep killing those until you have 11 Silvery Claws.

    2.
    Go southwest to the crater at (49,27), you'll find plenty of Toxic Horrors there, kill them until you got 3 Toxic Horror Droplet. There's more Toxic Horrors all around the big green pool just north of this crater.

    3. Go south to the ruins at (49.5,31) and click the Flute of the Ancients from your inventory. Some treant spirits will appear, especially one huge treant named Arei. If he's not there, it means someone else is already escorting him. Go kill some treants and elementals while waiting. Get his quest [56] Ancient Spirit and escort Arei. He will do a full turn around the green pool, so I suggest you clear the toxic horrors around the crater before you start the escort. Let him be infront and get hit first or he won't assist. The good thing is that he is quite a tank so you can let him tank a bit when there is multiple mobs. He will get back on the road after having done a full circle around the pool, 3 irontrees will ambush him at this point. Kill them fast one by one while Arei tanks the others. You will get a quest complete message normally.

    4. Normally, while doing the escort, you should have killed a few Irontree Stompers and got an Irontree Heart. If not, go back down and kill some more Irontree Stompers till you get one. This should complete [54] Silver Heart.

    5. Mount up and ride to Jaedenar. Go inside the Shadow Hold. Clear inside the hold further than when you doused the last 2 flames, past the red pool. Just a bit further down a slope you should find a room with an altar in it's middle, 4 warlocks/darkweavers arouned it, channeling a ritual, and a succubus named Rakaiah infront.

    You can pull Rakaiah solo, the 4 warlocks might be aggro on you but won't attack as long as you don't directly attack them. After you got rid of Rakaiah, you might still be locked in combat mode because of the 4 warlocks, to lose combat mode you just have to run back some distance away from them until they forget you. Basically they never attack you unless you directly attack them. However the warlock's imp pets will attack you and you should kill them.

    Kill the 2 warlocks/darkweavers which are in front of the altar.

    Then pull the mob on the right side of the room. He should also come solo.

    After that, kill the 2 warlocks which are behind the altar. When the room is clear, click on the Remains of Trey Lightforge on the altar, choose your reward and complete the quest [57] Retribution of the Light, get the follow up |57] The Remains of Trey Lightshadow.

    Go past the altar room and down a spiral, after a couple of pulls you'll be facing a small bridge going up straight ahead and a slope going down to your left.

    Go left and keep going in that direction until you reach a big room where you'll find Shadow Lord Fel'dan and his two succubus guards.

    It wasn't an easy fight to solo, I basically used everything I had with the mage and rogue. I sheeped Shadow Lord Fel'dan and killed the two succubus fast. Same with rogue, I sapped the shadow lord and killed it last. With the warrior I used retaliation. If you can't cc Fel'dan, kill him first. Don't forget to loot Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head.

    This part of the dungeon is just much easier with a group, you can try it solo but I recommend at least finding a person to duo it with.

    Hearthstone back to Everlook.

    Fly to Forest Song, Ashenvale. Turn in [56] Ancient Spirit at Kayneth Stillwind (85,44). 10550xp on that quest, which is just as good if not better than what you get from most Outland quests. That's why I always recommend to finish the old world quests before goign to Outland. You'll see, there are more quests like this one.

    Fly to Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood. Turn in:

    • [57] The Remains of Trey Lightforge
    • [58] A Final Blow
    • [54] Silver Heart, get the follow up [54] Aquementas

    Fly to Rut'theran Village (5 min break). Go to the house west of the hyppogryph landing spot, turn in [55] Moontouched Wildkin. Get the follow up [57] Find Ranshalla.

    You should be level 57 by now, or pretty close.

    Level 57

    Go train your new skills, sell stuff, visit the AH and re-stock food/drink.

    When you're ready to go again, go back to Everlook (hearthstone if it's up, boat/flight if not).

    Get the following quests:

    • [56] Are We there, Yeti?
    • [56] Ursius of the Shardtooth
    • [60] Luck Be With You

    Go to the bank and put the four Relic Fragments there, we won't be needing them for a while. Destroy the Flute of the Ancients. You can also bank or destroy your corrupted soul shards, we won't be hunting in felwood anymore so they won't be much of a use now. Same goes for your Cenarion Beacon. You can destroy it and get a new one if one day you wish to get those consumables, for whatever reason.

    1. Go southeast to Ice Thistle Hills (65,41). Kill Ice Thistle Yetis there until you have 10 Thick Yeti Fur.

    2. Get back on the road, ride south until (62,60), where you'll find a small trail going west, just a bit further you'll find a camp named Dun Mandarr (59,59). Kill the owlbeasts in it so that you can access the "Damaged Crate" in the camp.

    Click on the Damaged Crate, turn in the quest and get the follow up.

    3. Go east and you'll find a wagon with a keg atop at (61,60) just west of the road. Right-click it, turn in and get the follow up [59] Enraged Wildkin.
    Next to the wagon you should see a crate half burried in the snow, called Jaron's Supplies. Loot it.

    4.
    Get back on the road, go north a little and at (63,59) you'll find Ranshalla, she is on the east side of the road at in front of the entrance to Owl Wing Thicket. If she's not there, someone is probably doing the escort quest already, so go kill some owlbeasts while waiting for her to return. When you find her, turn in the quest [57] Find Ranshalla and get the follow up [59] Guardians of the Altar.

    Escort her to the cave, inside the cave she'll start to cast a spell, while she does, click on the stave infront of her named "Fire of Elune" and it will be lit. You can drink/eat while she is channeling her spell, you don't have to light the torch immediately.

    Always let her in front and get the first hit. Escort her inside the 5 caves and light the 5 torches. Then she will go to the altar of elune, which you will have to click too. Then a beautiful scene will happen and you will have the quest complete message at the end of it.

    While escorting her you should have normally looted the Blue-Feathered Amulet you need for the other quest. If you didn't, keep killing these owlbeasts until one drops.

    5. Get back on the road and ride south, go over the ice bridge and keep going south until you discover Darkwhisper Gorge and get the complete message for [56] Strange Sources.

    6. Go backwards, cross the bridge again, then go west till (59,62), where you'll find a path going down to Frostwhisper Gorge. Look for Frostmaul Shards.

    You can gather all 4 without having to fight a single giant. If you aggro one just run away, they don't run fast and they leash quickly. If you don't manage it it's ok, there's no follow up, just abandon the quest.

    Hearthstone back to Everlook.

    Turn in:

    • [60] Luck Be With You, don't get the follow up
    • [56] Are We There, Yeti?, get the follow up [58] Are We There, Yeti?


    Sell junk and repair.

    1. Now we're gonna hunt Ursius.

    Just follow the route marked on the map below, it's very accurate (yes I actually followed that stupid bear for 20 minutes just for you guys). He walks very slowly and he tries to walk as close to the top of each mountain as possible.

    2. Ride west/northwest to Starfall Village and turn in [59] Enraged Wildkin.

    3. Go west/southwest to Donova Snowden, turn in:

    • [56] Strange Sources
    • [56] Toxic Horrors, get the follow up [57] Winterfall Runners

    Now we're gonna hunt for the Winterfall Runners, check the map below to see their route. When you find the 3 Winterfall Runners (lvl 57), you don't have to kill all 3. Just kill one fast and run away, come back and loot the Winterfall Crate. They all drop it.

    Once you have the crate, go back to Donova Snowden.
    ==Warning== When you turn in the quest, she will walk to the lake and then 3 Furbolgs will spawn and attack you. So just stand back, wait for Donova to come back and get the follow up [59] High Chief Winterfall. If you aggro any of those furbolgs, just run away, killing them is pointless.

    Go back to Everlook. Turn in [56] Ursius of the Shardtooth, don't get the follow up.

    1. Go east of Everlook to Winterfall Village (66,33), kill 8 Winterfall Shamans and 8 Winterfall Ursa there. There are more of them up the mountain in the southern part of the camp. If you run out of mobs to kill you can do the next step while waiting.

    2. Go to the southeastern part of the camp, up a small path that leads to a cave (69,38). In that cave you'll find High Chief Winterfall, along with one guard. Use your cooldowns and pots if necessary. In the worst case solo down the chief fast, loot him and run away (watch out for Winterfall Runners, they might gank up on you if they happen to pass by).

    While looting High Chief Winterfall you should find an item called Crudely-written Log. Loot and right-click it to start the quest [59] The Final Piece.

    If you still haven't found a Winterfall Ritual Totem by now (which is very unlikely), kill some more furbolgs until one drops.

    3. Once that is done, go south over the mountain to Ice Thistle Hills (65,41). This time enter the cave further to the east up the hills (68,42) and kill Ice Thistle Matriachs/Patriachs until you get 2 Pristine Yeti Horn.

    4. Clear the way out, go back to Everlook. Turn in [58] Are We There, Yeti? and get the follow up.
    Find a goblin named Legacki, she stands to the left of the inn. Target her and right click Umi's Mechanical Yeti from your inventory.

    5. Ride west to Donova Snowden. Turn in [59] High Chief Winterfall and [59] The Final Piece. Get the follow up [59] Words of the High Chief.

    6. Ride north to Salfa, turn in [58] Winterfall Activity. Now you should be either Neutral with the Timbermaw or pretty close. If you still need a bit more reputation, go kill some furbolgs in the nearby camps until you have 5 Winterfall Spirit Beads. Then go back to Salfa and turn them in and this should be enough. If it's still not enough, well, this means you're a very sneaky person, and also that you need to kill some more furbolgs until you're neutral.

    Once you're neutral with the Timbermaw, enter the tunnel. Find a furbolgs named Kernda, he's in the middle tunnel going north. Turn in [55] Deadwood Ritual Totem and [56] Winterfall Ritual Totem.

    Go to Felwood through the tunnel. Go to Talonbranch Glade, fly to Emerald Sanctuary. Turn in [59] Words of the High Chief.

    You should be level 58 by now.

    Level 58

    Fly to Gadgetzan (10 Min break). Find a goblin named Sprinkle (she's close to the horde exit). Scare her away with the mechanical yeti.

    Ride to Lost Rigger Cove (68,41), inside lost rigger cove go south to the other side of the pirate camp and then west until you find a stone circle (70,49).

    Open the blue bag named Eridan's Supplies, loot everything from it. Then step inside the circle and click the Book of Aquor. Aquementas, a lvl 54 elemental, will come to the circle and attack you. You don't have to kill it, just have to stand in the stone circle and let him attack you once. If you want to kill it, just know that he is immune to frost and deals frost damage (mages use Frost Ward). He should be a cakewalk at level 58.
    You should now have the Silver Totem of Aquementas. If you do, you can destroy the "Book of Aquor", the "Silver Claws" and the "Irontree Heart".

    Ride back to Gadgetzan. Fly to Marshall's Refuge in Un'goro Crater.

    Find the goblin named Quixxil and scare him with the mechanical yeti.

    Go inside the crystal cave and talk to J.D. Collie, turn in [54] Aquementas and get the follow up [54] Linken's Adventure. Go to Linken and turn it in, don't get the follow up unless you got a few people to help you. You'd need at least a healer and a tank type. Blazerunner is a lvl 56 Elite fire elemental and he hits for 400.

    Anyway here is how to defeat Blazerunner, the last boss of the long quest chain "Linken's Adventure". Go to the top of fire plume ridge, clear all the elementals around to make sure they don't add during the fight. Equip the Silver Totem of Aquementas and put it on a hotkey. Click it to dispel Blazerunner's aura right at the start and everytime it reappears. Blazerunner is somewhat invincible when his aura is on, he keeps knockbacking people and every damage he takes is divided by 10. So be sure to always keep that aura dispelled.
    Another thing, fight him inside his cave with your back facing the walls, so if he knockbacks you when the aura appears again you won't end up being tossed off the mountain or into adds.
    He's a tough fight, I did it with a level 57 Priest, a level 55 Paladin and me (lvl 57 rogue) and it wasn't easy. On the other hand I soloed it with my lvl 57 frost mage, thanks to kiting, it took time and several attempts though. So I recommend saving that quest for when you are level 60 and have time to spend on it, unless you got enough people to help you immediately. Anyway if you do manage to kill Blazerunner, you must also go loot the Ornate Chest in his cave. Then turn in the quest at Linken.

    Hearthstone back to Everlook, turn in [58] Are We There, Yeti?

    Fly to Rut'theran Village, go to the house west of the Hyppogryph landing spot, turn in [59] Guardians of the Altar, get the follow up [57] Wildkin of Elune. Go inside Darnassus, go north to the Cenarion Enclave and find Arch Druid Staghelm (35,10), he's on the top floor. Turn in [57] Wildkin of Elune.

    Go train your new skills.

    Go to Ironforge, go to the Hall of Explorers, turn in [54] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way.

    Your quest log should look like this now:

    • [55] Sister Pamela
    • [52] Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff
    • [52] The Everlook Report
    • [56] Troubled Spirits of Kel'Theril

    So you are level 58 now. Many people ask if they should just go to Outland at level 58 and never go back to the old world. This is in my experience a mistake. As we've seen in this chapter, we're already getting 10K+ Exp for certain quests already in Felwood and Winterspring. The Plaguelands circuits are just as good, it would be a shame to miss that. Not to mention, if you go to Outland at level 58, you won't have access to all quests, there are some quests with a level 61+ requirement already in Hellfire Penninsula. So yes, that's really not the most efficient way.

    However what I recommend is:

    Go to Outland and do the first few quests to get some nice gear upgrades, unlock your tradeskills past 300 and get the flight path to Shattrath. Open up my 60-65 alliance guide, follow the guide until step 7. when you arrive at the Temple of Telhamat, get the flight path (buy the first aid book if you wish), then ride to Shattrath (infos on how to do that are somewhere in the guide, use the search function to find it). Get the flight path in Shattrath, then take a portal back to Ironforge and get back to the guide 50-60 guide.

    This is optional, it's entirely up to you. If you just want to keep following this guide until the end before going to Outland, that's fine. If you just want to go to Outland and never come back to this guide, it's up to you, it's not the most efficient way to do it, but it will still work out in the end.

    Now with that said, let's get started with those plaguelands circuits!

    Sell and repair, check the AH, resupply food and drink (4 stacks).

    Get the following quest item from your bank:

    Everlook Report

    Take the tram to Stormwind.

    1. Go to Stormwind Keep and get the quest [62] The First and the Last from King Varian Wrynn.

    2. Go talk to Mathias Shaw in the Old Town, he's on the first floor of the big building named SI:7.

    Turn in the quest [62] The First and the last, get the follow up, turn it in and get the follow up [62] Flint Shadowmore.

    3.
    Go to the inn and make Stormwind your home location.

    Fly to Aerie Peak, Hinterlands. Follow the road southwest to Hillsbrad Foothills.

    Go west/northwest along the mountain until you hit the river. Follow the river north towards Chillwind Point, then go straight north to Western Plaguelands until you find Chillwind Camp (43,85).

    Get the flight path. Turn in [62] Flint Shadowmore and get the follow up [62] The Eastern Plagues.
    Get [52] Clear the Way from Commander Ashlam Valorfist(the quest won't appear over his head, so just find him).
    Turn in [52] The Everlook Report at Argent Officer Pureheart, also complete the quest Argent Dawn Commission, you will receive a trinket.
    When you kill undeads while having this trinket equiped, you can collect Scourgestones from their bodies. I suggest equiping it from now on everytime you kill undeads in eastern and western plaguelands.

    Turning in these Scourgestones at Argent Officer Pureheart gets you reputation increases with the Argent Dawn and a token. These tokens are the only way to raise your faction with the Argent Dawn at a certain point in reverred, so save them until then. Check blizzard's official homepage to see what rewards you get at the different faction levels. It is also rumored that the Argent Dawn reputation will be used in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, so that's one more reason to do those plaguelands circuits.

    Don't get the other quests.

    1. Take the eastern path to Sorrow hill (46,81). Kill 10 Skeletal Flayers and 10 Slavering Ghouls.

    2. Go back to Chillwind camp and turn in [52] Clear the Way, get the two follow up [53] The Scourge Cauldrons and [56] All Along the Watchtowers.

    Go to High Priestess MacDonnell and turn in [53] The Scourge Cauldrons. Get the follow up [53] Target: Felstone Field.

    3. Go back through Sorrow Hill and enter the Ruins of Andorhal by the south gate (49,73).

    In Andorhal try to avoid the roads as much as possible, as level 56 elite abominations patrol them. So just clear yourself a path through the destroyed houses. Also avoid the middle of the town of course, there's a huge bunch of mobs there and Araj the Summoner (lvl 61 elite).

    4.
    Go to the Fourth Watch Tower (46,70). Clear what's in your way. You can drop the torch at the entrance of the watch tower without aggroing the Skeletal Warlord if you just get close to it without being in it's line of sight. Look for the Beacon Torch in your inventory and click it while standing next to the tower's door.

    5. Go to the Tower One which is direclty to the west (40,71). It's close to the western entrance to Andorhal. Mark it with the torch just like you did for the previous tower.

    6. Go to Tower Two, northeast of tower one (42,66). It's close to the northern entrance to Andorhal. Mark it.

    7. Tower Three is right behind tower two, northeast of it. Be careful of the scarlet patrol and abomination patrol when you go there (44,63). Mark tower three. You can destroy the Beacon Torch.

    1. Get out of Andorhal by the north gate then go northwest to Felstone Field (37,58).

    Clear yourself a path to the Cauldron in the middle of the field, when you get close, Cauldron Lord Bilemaw will spawn, kill it and loot the Felstone Field Cauldron Key from him, then go to the cauldron and click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [53] Return to Chillwind Camp.

    2. In the Felstone Field, go to the houses on the north side of the field, enter the one which is the most to the west (37,54).

    On the 2nd floor of the house you'll find Janice Felstone, get the quest [52] Better Late than Never.

    Go to the next house at (38,55) and find Janice's Parcel inside it. Click it, turn in the quest, then click it again and get the follow up [52] Better Late Than Never.

    3. Ride back to Chillwind Camp, avoid Andorhal this time.

    Turn in [56] All Along the Watchtowers. Get the follow ups [55] Scholomance and [60] Alas, Andorhal.

    Turn in [55] Scholomance at Alchemist Arbington and get the follow up [57] Skeletal Fragments.

    Turn in [53] Return to Chillwind Camp, get the follow up [55] Target: Dalson's Tears.
    Also get the quest [58] The Mark of the Lightbringer from Anchorite Truuen.

    1. Go north, around Andorhal and then east to Dalson's Tears (45,52), it's the field directly east of Felstone Field. Clear yourself a path to the Scourge Cauldron, when you get close Cauldron Lord Malvinious will spawn, kill it and loot his key, go to the Cauldron and click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [55] Return to Chillwind Camp.

    2. Go to the houses on the north side of Dalson's Tears, enter the eastern one (47,51). Clear what's inside and look on the floor for Mrs. Dalson's Diary, click it and choose "complete quest".

    ==Note== As of last patch, the outhouse [i](48,49) is sometimes bugged, it's impossible to interract with it, making it impossible to kill Farmer Dalson and to get the cabinet key. If you can't interract with the outhouse, just forget this quest and move on to step 3.[/i]

    Get out of the barn and look around for a Wandering Skeleton, there is only one of this kind and he roams around the barn, so keep killing stuff around the barn until you find it, kill it and loot "Dalson Outhouse Key". Go behind the barn, you'll find an Outhouse (48,49). Open it, kill Farmer Dalson, loot Dalson Cabinet Key.

    Go to the other house now (47,50), on the 2nd floor of it you'll find a "Locked Cabinet", click it and turn in the quest.

    3. Go straight north to the Northridge Lumbermill, when you are next to the lumbermill, go northeast of it, follow a trail going down to a destroyed wagon. You'll find Kirsta Deepshadow there (51,28), get the quest [56] Unfinished Business.

    4. You can find the Scarlets Knights and Mages you need to kill for the quest just southeast of Kirsta, on the road to Hearthglen. For the Hunters and Medics go to the camp southeast (51,44).

    5. When you completed the kill list, go back to Kirsta and turn in [56] Unfinished Business, get the follow up.

    1. Go back on the road just east of Kirsta. And head north, at (54,34) the road forks off to the left and right. Go right and up the slope you will find Hunstman Radley (57,35). She can be pulled solo if you wait for the right moment: when the mage close to her goes far enough.

    2. Get back on the main road and this time at the fork go left, keep going north until you hit the watch tower (53,24). Kill the 2 guards infront of it, clear the 1st floor of the tower carefully, then wait for Cavalier Durgen to show up. He goes to the top of the tower then walks back to the entrance. Wait for him to come down, you can't kill him when he's on top, he has 3 guards with him there.

    After killing Durgen, clear the way to the top of the tower, there are 2 scarlet mages on top of the tower, you can actually pull just 1 if you take your time and body pull carefully. After you have cleared the top of the tower, you should find a Holy Coffer, right-click it and loot the Mark of the Lightbringer.

    ==Warning== Sometimes there is a high-level rare elite on top of the tower in addition to the above mentioned mobs.

    3. After this, go back to Kirsta Deepshadow by going southwest and jumping down in the crater where she is. Turn in the quest [57] Unfinished Business, get the follow up.

    4. Mount up and ride to Hearthglen (46,18), trying to avoid most mobs on your way. When you are at the entrance, open your map and search the following location with your cursor: (45,18). Now clear your way to that location, where you should see a tower. Kill the two guards at the entrance and climb up the tower. Run around on the top floor until you get a quest complete message.

    5. Exit the tower, mount up and get back to Kirsta. Turn the quest in.

    Hearthstone to Stormwind, go to the Cathedral Square and inside the City Hall (48,32) on the 2nd floor. Turn in [52] Better Late Than Never.

    Now try to find Ol'Emma, she wanders in between the Cathedral Square and the Trade district. Shouldn't be hard to find because you'll see the yellow "?" on the minimap. She makes a stop in a house bordering the canals close to the Cathedral district too (52,41).

    When you find her turn in [52] Good Natured Emma. Get the follow up [52] Good Luck Charm.

    You should be level 59 by now or close.

    Level 59

    ==Note== You should have a few Bone Fragments in your inventory, don't sell them, we'll need them for a quest later on.


    Sell junk, repair, re-stock consumables.

    Get the following items from the bank:

    • Studies in Spirit Speaking
    • 30 Dark Iron Scraps

    Fly to Chillwind camp.

    In Chillwind Camp, turn in [55] Return to Chillwind Camp, get the follow up [55] Target: Writhing Haunt.

    Now get ready for an escort quest, it's rather easy. When you're ready, turn in [58] The Mark of the Lightbringer, get the follow up [58] Tomb of the Lightbringer. Do the escort until you get the complete message.

    1. Go north/northeast, swim across the river and go to the Writhing Haunt (52,66). Clear a path to the scourge cauldron, when you get close to it, Cauldron Lord Razarch will spawn, kill it and loot the key. Clear what's around the Cauldron and go click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [55] Return to Chillwind Camp.

    2. Directly north of the cauldron in a small house you should find a tauren lying down on the floor, Mulgris Deepriver. Get his quest [54] The Wildlife Suffers Too.

    **From now on kill any Diseased Wolf you find on your way until you have completed [54]The Wildlife Suffers too**

    3. Go north/northwest to an area just north of Dalson's Tears (45,40), where you will find plenty of wolves to complete the quest. Kill everything in this area until you have 8 Diseased Wolf Kills. Also note that the spiders in this area are placeholders for wolves, so you have to kill spiders too if you need more wolves.

    4. Go southwest to the Felstone Field, go into the left house (38,54) on the 2nd Floor. Turn in the quest [52] Good Luck Charm at Janice Felstone and get the follow up [54] Two Halves Become One.

    Get out of the house and look for a Jabbering Ghoul.

    This ghoul wanders the area in front of the barn. If it's not there just keep the area clean until it respawns. Kill it and it will drop a "Good Luck Other-Half-Charm".

    Once you have the other half charm, go back to Janice Felstone, right click on the other-half-charm in your inventory. Turn in the quest.

    5. Go back to Chillwind Camp.

    Turn in:

    • [55] Return to Chillwind Camp and get the follow up [58] Target: Gahron's Withering.
    • [58] Tomb of the Lightbringer



    1.
    Ride east through Sorrow hill, then northeast, across the river and to the Writhing Haunt. Clear the way to the house with the tauren lying down on the floor, turn in [54]The Wildlife Suffers Too, get the follow up [56]The Wildlife Suffers Too.

    **From now on kill any Diseased Grizzly you see until you have killed 8**

    2. Go east to Gahron's Withering (62,57). Clear a path to the Scourge Cauldron, when you get close Cauldron Lord Soulwrath will, appear, kill it. He's harder than the other cauldron lords, he knockbacks and silences, so be careful where you fight him. Loot his key then go to the Cauldron, turn in the quest and get the follow up [58] Return to Chillwind Camp.

    3. Go to the area which is in between Garon's Withering and the Writhing Haunt. There should be plenty of grizzlies there. If not, kill spiders, they are placeholders for grizzlies. Kill everything in this area until you have 8 Diseased Grizzly Kills, then go turn in [56] The Wildlife Suffers Too at the Writhing Haunt. Don't get the follow up unless you are a mage (teleport), it requires a trip to Darnassus and we won't be going anywhere near it in the guide. It's 8450 xp reward and a decent cape, so it's up to you if you wanna make the trip to Darnassus or not.

    4. Ride northeast until you hit Thondroril River, go north along the river bank, then cross the river so you are on the eastern bank and ride north until you find a house. In front of it you'll see Tirion Fordring, get his 3 quests:

    • [56] Demon Dogs
    • [56] Blood Tinged Skies
    • [56] Carrion Grubbage

    From now on, kill on sight the following:

    • Plaguehound Runt
    • Carrion Worm
    • Plaguebat

    5. Go south along the river and then east into Eastern Plaguelands.

    1. Go southeast while killing everything on the way. Find the Marris Stead but don't get close to it! There's a lvl 62 Elite NPC there, hits like a truck. Go around the Marris Stead so that you are on the east of it (29,74).

    Just a bit closer to Nathanos lightcaller you'll find "Mangled Human Remains" (28,74). Loot the SI:7 Insignia (Turyen) from it.
    Go a bit closer to Nathanos, on a small mound right infront of him you should find other human remains (27,74). Loot Fredo's Insignia from it. This is as close as you can get to Nathanos without aggroing it, and you should get the "Blightcaller Uncovered" (Complete) message. Go backwards a bit and then south, you should find the last human remains close to the road (28,79). Loot Rutger's Insignia.

    2. Go southeast to Darrowshire, keep killing everything on sight that you need for quests, there should be plenty.

    Inside Darrowshire, find a small destroyed house on the western side of Darrowshire. You should find Pamela Redpath there, turn in the quest [55] Sister Pamela and get the follow up [55] Pamela's Doll.

    Now you must find the 3 parts of pamela's doll, they can be in any of the other houses in Darrowshire, mostly on the 2nd floor of it. Look on the floor for some brown objet. Everytime you get close to one of the doll parts, a level 55 ghost spawns and attack you.

    Once you have Pamela's Doll's Left Side, Right Side and Head. Right click them in your inventory to combine them. Go to Pamela and turn in the quest. Get the two follow up quests:

    • [56] Uncle Carlin
    • [56] Auntie Marlene

    1. Go back towards the Marris Stead and keep doing wide circles around it killing everything until you got 30 Plaguebat and 20 Plaguehound Runts slain. This is the best area to find them.

    2. Go east to the area north of the infectis scar and Corin's Crossing. Kill everything around until you have 5 Plaguehound Kills. Focus on Carrion Grubs as well.

    3. Once you got 5 Plaguehound kills, go to the area which is north of Blackwood Lake (51,41). You should find Frenzied Plaguehounds around this area, also kill Carrion Devourers in the way.

    4. Once you have 5 Frenzied Plaguehound kills, go southeast, around the Pestilent scar by the north of it and then go southeast to Light's Hope Chapel (81,59).

    Get the new flight path.

    Turn in:

    • [52] Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff
    • [56] Uncle Carlin, get the follow up [55] Defenders of Darrowshire

    Go inside the chapel, get the quest [60] Binding the Dreadnaught from Korfax, Champion of the Light. Turn it in immediately, since you already have the 30 Dark Iron Scraps.

    5. Just a bit south of Light's Hope Chapel find Caretaker Alen (79,63). Get the quests [55] Zaeldarr the Outcast and [60] The Restless Souls from him.

    6. Check how many "Slab of Carrion Worm Meat" you need, then go kill in the area south and southwest of Light's Hope Chapel until you got your 15 Carrion Worm Meat.

    Go back to Light's Hope Chapel, fly to Chillwind camp.

    Turn in [58] Return to Chillwind Camp, go to Commander Ashlam Valorfirst and complete the quest "Mission Accomplished!"

    Turn in [62] The Eastern Plagues at Flint Shadowmore, get the follow up [62] The Blightcaller Cometh.

    Hearthstone to Stormwind, go to Stormwind Keep and turn in [62] The Blightcaller Cometh at King Varian Wrynn, don't take the follow up.

    You should have dinged level 60 by now. Congratulations, you are ready to go to Outland. However, if you like it here, you can do the following additional circuits, I actually recommend it. It's nice to go to Outland already close to level 61, this means you probably won't ever have to do any instances or grind to keep up with the guide's recommended level, or better, you'll be ahead of the guide in levels and will ding level 70 with a lot of quest circuits left to do, which is a very nice way to make gold at level 70.
    However, it's entirely up to you, going now to Outland is more than fine.

    ==Warning== Due to time constraints, I haven't been able to revamp the optional circuits yet. It should be done in the coming months though.

    Level 60

    Go to Tiron Fordring and turn in the following quests:

    • [56] Demon Dogs
    • [56] Blood Tinged Skies
    • [56] Carrion Grubbage

    I still haven't had the time to work on my additional circuits, so you should still have these quests in your log:

    • Defenders of the Darrowshire
    • Zaeldarr the Outcast
    • The Restless Souls
    • Skeletal Fragments
    • Alas, Andorhal
    • Troubled Spirits of Kel'Theril

    You can either abandon them or try to finish them on your own, then simply move on to my Outland guides.

    I hope you enjoyed this guide. If you want to return the favor, please try to contribute.

  • Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide - Chapter IV (60-65)

    Chapter 4 - [Level 60 - 65]

    Journey from Hellfire Peninsula to Terrokar

    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!

    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.

    • When I say you should make an inn your new home location, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.


    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:

    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.


    Level 60-70 XP Curve Changes

    As of patch 3.0, it takes much less XP to level from 60 to 70. That means you will probably ding much faster than what my guide says. That's not a problem at all though, just keep following the guide normally. I strongly recommend achieving level 70 before going to Northrend, I've explained many times why on my blog. In a nutshell, it's much more efficient and easy to go to Northrend at level 70. You'll level faster that way and also get more gold. I actually recommend going until the very end of my Outland guide before moving to Northrend, even if that means going there at level 71 or 72. That's if you want more gold. However it's up to you, going to Northrend at level 70 is fine too, you'll just get less gold in the end.

    The Guide

    I assume that you haven't done any quests in the Outlands before level 60. If you have it's not a big deal, just jump in the guide somewhere where you still haven't done all the quests and go from there.

    LEVEL 60

    Let's get started! First thing, go to a main city and buy a portal to Shattrath.
    You generally get one quickly if you type the following line in general chat: "WTB Port to Shattrath, paying 1 Gold and will come to you".
    The reason we do this is that you'll have the flight path to Shattrath, which is quite handy when you need to go to a main city to train new skills (For those who have never been to Shattrath before, there are 3 free portals you can use anytime you want to go to Ironforge, Stormwind or Darnassus.)
    After you arrive in Shattrath, go through the northeastern gate and find the flight master (63,41), fly to Honor Hold.
    Go to the inn and make it your home location.

    Once that is done, take a flight to Hellfire Peninsula, the Dark Portal. Zone through the Dark Portal, you should be in the Blasted Lands now.

    Go down the stairs and get the quest [61] Through the Dark Portal from Watch Commander Relthorne.
    Go back through the Dark Portal, go down the stairs, turn in the quest at Commander Duron and get the follow up [61] Arrival in Outland. Go directly south and you'll find Amish Wildhammer, turn in the quest and get the follow up.

    Once again, go back through the dark portal and ride all the way north to Nethergarde Keep in Blasted Lands. Go to the big building with the mailbox infront of it - the one which is on the northern part of the village. Inside the keep turn left and left again, and you should find an NPC called Bernie Heisten, buy a Nethergarde Bitter from him. We'll need it in a quest later on, so make sure you don't drink it.

    Use your Hearthstone back to Honor Hold.

    Find Marshal Isildor, easy to spot on the minimap thanks to the yellow "?". Turn in the quest and get the follow up [60] Force Commander Danath. Go south and enter the biggest building, find Commander Danath in there, he is on the 2nd floor. Turn in the quest and get the two follow ups: [61] The Legion Reborn and [61] Know your Enemy.

    1. Mount up, exit the village by the west gate and go to the destroyed tower down the path. Get the quest [61] Waste Not, Want Not from Dumphry, then go to Lieutenant Amadi, turn in the quest and get the follow up [61] Fel Orc Scavengers.

    2. Go directly northeast of the tower and you should quickly find some Bonechewer orcs overlooking the big canyon called the "Path of Glory". Go eastwards while staying on top of the cliff and kill as many orcs as needed. At the same time look for metal cogs and wooden planks on the ground, until you complete both quests.

    3. When you are done with [58] Fel Orc Scavengers and [61] Waste Not, Want not, ride southwest back to the guard tower and turn in both quests, get both follow ups: [58] Ill Omens and [61] Laying Waste to the Unwanted.

    4. Mount up, ride through Honor Hold and this time exit by the east gate, ride to the destroyed tower on the right-hand side of the road. You'll find Sergeant Altumus there, turn in the quest and get the follow up [61] The Path of Anguish.

    5. Ride east and slightly northeast and you'll find a bunch of imps and infernals at (65, 58 ). Kill them and also find and kill a Dreadcaller, which you should find in the same area.

    6. When you are done with [61] The Path of Anguish, ride north and cross the "Path of Glory", and then follow the cliff overlooking it, going westwards (that's the "horde side" of the Path of Glory). Get off your mount when you encounter the first fel orc and clear the way going west, while staying on top of the cliff. You should soon see a big orcish catapult (58,47).

    Go next to it and right-click the Flaming Torch from your inventory. This should set the catapult on fire and you should get a quest update. The next 3 catapults are further west along the path of glory, grind your way through the orcs, find the 3 other catapults and burn them.

    7. Once you have completed [61] Laying Waste to the Unwanted, ride west and through a great wall, then follow the trail and keep going west until you reach a fork (29,46) where you should see a smaller trail going northwest. Follow it and you should find the Temple of Telhamat (23,41).

    Get the quests:

    • [62] Deadly Predators
    • [62] In Search of Sedai
    • [63] Cruel Taskmasters
    • [63] The Rock Flayer Matriarch

    All those quests are given near the entrance of the Telhamat. Further up and to the left you can buy the manuals to raise your first aid past (300) if you want to. The NPC selling them is called Burko.

    Go to the main building (which is also the Inn) and get [62] The Pools of Aggonar from Amaan the Wise.

    Exit the building and go east, you should find the gryphon master, get the new flight path.

    8. Right behind the gryphon master, if you look down the cliff you should see Sedai's Corpse in the distance, it's easy to spot because it's surrounded by a white glow. Get down the cliff and go to the corpse, turn in the quest and get the follow up [62] Return to Obadei.

    9. Mount up and ride back to Telhamat, turn in [62] Return to Obadei. Makuru - one of the NPCs next to Obadei - should have a quest for you now, get the quest [63] Makuru's Vengeance.

    10. Go to the gryphon master again and fly to Honor Hold.

    1. Exit by the east gate, go to the guard tower down the path and turn in [58] The Path of Anguish and get the follow up [61] Expedition Point.

    2. Ride back through Honor Hold and this time exit by the west gate and go turn in [61] Laying Waste to the Unwanted at the guard tower.

    3. Ride southwest to the area called Zeppelin Crash (49,75). Get the quests [61] Ravager Egg Roundup and [61] In Case of Emergency.

    4. Ride southwest until you get back on the trail and follow it until you reach an area called Razorthorn Trail (42,83). Start killing all ravagers you see while looking for Ravager Eggs on the ground.

    5. Once you have 12 eggs, ride back to the Zeppelin crash and turn in [61] Ravager Egg Roundup, get the follow up [61] Hellboar, the Other White Meat.

    ==Note== From now on, whenever you find Helboars on your way, kill them. They sometimes will drop Tainted Helboar Meat, which you must try to purify with the Purification Mixture in your inventory. This quest can take a while so that's why we start it now.

    6. Ride east and stay north of the area called "Expedition Armory". On your path you should see Zeppelin Debris, gather them.

    You should soon reach small canyon called the "Valley of Bones" (57,73). Follow this valley while gathering Zeppelin Debris and killing anything in your path.

    Follow this mini canyon eastwards until you reach the other end, you should have about 20 Zeppelin Debris by then, and if you look south you should see the orc fortress of Zeth'Gor.

    7. Go there and kill orcs until you find a Cursed Talisman, it can drop from any Bleeding Hollow orc.

    8. Once you have the talisman, ride east to Expedition Point (71,63). Turn in [58] Ill Omens and get the follow up [58] Cursed Talismans.

    You can also sell junk and repair at the NPC right next to you.

    Turn in [61] Expedition Point and get the follow up [62] Disrupt Their Reinforcements. Also get [61] Zeth'Gor Must Burn.

    9. Go south back to Zeth'Gor, but not to the main entrances. Our aim is to destroy the towers, and we're gonna start by the ones on the east side of the fortress.

    Clear the way south to the tower which stands against the mountain (71,71). Kill all orcs around it, then go under the tower and use your "Smoke Beacon", it looks like a barrel in your inventory. You should get the following message "Foothill Tower Marked".

    The next tower is just down the hill, northwest. Mark it as well.

    Exit Zeth'Gor by the same way you come from. Now go to the next tower, which stands infront of Zeth'Gor on the north side of it (68,67). Mark it.

    Reminder: Keep killing helboars you see and pick up any Zeppelin Debris you walk across.

    The last tower is a bit more difficult to reach, as it stands in the very middle of Zeth'Gor. Go through the western gate (66,74) and clear yourself a way south towards the last tower and mark it.

    Now you should have all 4 towers marked. All that's left for you to do is kill more orcs until you have 12 Cursed Talismans. It's best to kill the orcs outside of Zeth'Gor, so that you can gather Zeppelin Debris and kill Helboars too.

    10. Once you have 12 Cursed Talismans and 30 Zeppelin Debris, ride east back to Expedition Point.

    Turn in [58] Cursed Talismans and get the follow up [60] Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow. Turn in [60] Zeth'Gor Must Burn!

    11. Go back to Zeth'Gor, clear the path towards the main building, which is east of the Southern Tower (the last one we marked).

    Warning: there are a lot of patrols in this area, so clear carefully. Right in the center of the building you should find Warlord Morkh standing alone. Kill him and loot his armor then clear the way out.

    12. Go back to Expedition Point. Turn in [60] Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow and get the follow up [61] Return to Honor Hold.
    Sell junk and repair.

    13. Go straight north and enter the area named the Legion Front (71,60).

    Start killing all the demons you see, until you have 4 Demonic Rune Stones.

    Once you have them, go to Portal Kaalez (72,60). It's a dark metalic structure with green crystals floating above it. It's directly east when entering the Legion Front.

    If you get close to the portal your mouse pointer should turn into a cog when you point inside the portal. Stand inside the portal right-click it to disrupt it.

    Now move to Portal Grimh, it is about 200 yards to the north. Gather another 4 Demonic Rune Stones and disrupt this portal. If you have any Demonic Rune Stone left in your inventory, destroy it.

    14. Go back to Expedition Camp, turn in [62] Disrupt their Reinforcements and get the follow up [62] Mission: The Murketh and Shaadraz Gateways.

    Look in your inventory for Seaforium PU-36 Explosive Nether Modulator and put it on one of your action bars, I suggest that you bind a hotkey to it, because you will have to aim those bombs with your mouse pointer, so you don't really have time to click on the bomb, a quick keystroke is much faster.

    Once you're ready, talk to Wing Commander Dabir'ee, he will send you on a bombing mission. You simply have to use the bomb (with the hotkey you bound it to) and aim with your mouse pointer for the demonic portals on each side of the main road with your bombs when your gryphon flies close to them.

    15. Once you sucessfully complete the bombing mission, turn it in and get the follow up [60] Shatter Point.

    Talk to Wing Commander Dabir'ee and ask him to send you to Shatter Point.

    After landing, right-click on the Gryphon Master to get the flight path and then turn in the quest [60] Shatter Point, get the follow up [60] Wing Commander Gryphongar.

    Go inside the tower on the island and turn in the quest, get the follow up [62] Mission: The Abyssal Shelf.

    Find the bombs in your inventory - they are called Area 52 Specials - and put them on the same hotkey you used in the previous bombing mission.

    Go talk to Gryphoneer Windbellow - she stands right behind the gryphon master - and ask her to send you to the Abyssal Shelf.

    You can complete this bombing mission in several runs, so it's not a problem if you don't manage to kill everything required on the first run.

    1. Once you've completed the bombing mission, go turn in the quest at Wing Commander Gryphongar. Get the follow up [61] Go to the Front. Go back to Gryphoner Windbellow and ask her to send you to Honor Point (69,28 ).

    After landing, go turn in the quest [61] Go to the Front and get the follow up [61] Disruption - Forge Camp: Mageddon.

    2. Directly west of you stands Forge Camp Mageddon. Go there and kill 10 Gan'arg Servant and Razorsaw. You can't miss him, he's quite big and roams all over the camp. If you attack the servants which stand next to the Fel Canons, I advise killing the canon first, because it deals more damage and has less HPs than the servant.

    3. Once you're done, go back to Honor Point, turn in [61] Disruption - Forge Camp: Mageddon and get the follow up [61] Enemy of my Enemy...

    4. Go back to Forge Camp Mageddon and kill 3 Fel Canon MK1, then go back to Honor Point, turn in the quest and get the follow up [61] Invasion Point: Annihilator.

    5. Ride far west towards Invasion Point: Annihilator (54,28 ). Unmount when you encounter the first demons infront of the camp and clear the way while staying close to the northern cliff.

    On the northern part of the camp, standing infront of demonic furnace structure, you should see Warbringer Arix'Amal, clear the mobs around him and then kill him. Loot the Burning Legion Gate Key and the Burning Legion Missive from him.

    Now clear the mobs around the Burning Legion Gate to the teleporter, it's the structure with a green crystal floating above, just like the ones we destroyed in a previous quest.

    Step inside the teleporter, right cilck the Burning Legion Gate Key from your inventory and left-click on the round stone floating inside of the gate. Then right click on the stone itself to close the gate.

    You should now have completed the quest [61] Invasion Point: Annihilator.

    6. Clear the way out of the camp, then ride back to Honor Point. Turn in [61] Invasion Point: Annihilator. Right-click the Burning Legion Missive in your inventory and accept the quest [58] The Dark Missive.

    7. Hearthstone back to Honor Hold.

    In the Inn, get the following quests: [61] An Old Gift and [62] The Longbeards. You can buy food and drink from the Innkeeper if you are low.

    Go upstairs and turn in [61] Return to Honor Hold and get the follow ups: [61] Fel Spirits and [61] Digging For Prayer Beads.

    ==Note== You should now be friendly with Honor Hold.

    In the next room buy a Silken Thread from Hama the Grand Master Tailor.

    Go to Warrant Officer Tracy Proudwell (yellow "!" on your minimap) and get the quest [60] Hellfire Fortifications from her.

    Buy a Fei Fei Doggy Treat from her (bottom right choice in her shop).

    Talk to her dog Fei Fei and turn in the treat and then follow Fei Fei. Keep following him until he brings you to Fei Fei's Cache, right-click it and you should get the Prayer Beads.

    Sell junk, repair, re-stock food and drink.

    Go to the big barracks building. On the 2nd floor turn in [61] The Dark Missive, get all the quests available from here:

    • [61] The Heart of Darkness
    • [61] The Path of Glory
    • [63] Overlord
    • [62] Weaken the Ramparts

    ==Note== From now on, if you see any group looking for more to do the Hellfire Ramparts instance, feel free to join them. Getting a group for an instance at lower levels isn't an easy task, so you might want to start trying early. However, if you don't like instancing, don't bother, you can replace that with a bit of grinding.

    8. Exit Honor Hold through the west gate, go to the guard tower and get the quest [61] Unyielding Souls.

    Just a few steps south you should see a mine with a few NPCs infront, get the quests [61] A Job for an Intelligent Man and [61] When this Mine's a-rockin' from Foreman Biggums.

    9. Go directly southwest of the mine, there you should find boars and giant earthworms (called Marauding Crust Bursters -- to get them to show up you have to get close to those piles of moving stones). Focus mainly on the worms, kill boars if they get in the way though and don't forget to purify the boar meat.

    Stay in this area until the following two objectives are complete:

    1. [61] A Job for an Intelligent Man completed.
    2. Find an Eroded Leather Case, it drops from the worms. It has approximately a 10% chance to drop so it might take a while.

    Once you have the Eroded Leather Case, right-click it and accept the quest [61] Missing Missive.

    10. Ride southwest to Gor'Gaz Outpost (46,74). Get in pull range of the orcs (as close as you can without them jumping you) and use the Anchorite Relic in your inventory. Start to kill orcs while staying close to the relic. Each orc you kill next to the relic will spawn a Fel Spirit. You must kill 10 of those spirits.

    11. Ride southeast to Expedition Armory (55,76). Kill everything needed to complete [61] Unyielding Souls. You should be level 61 right now or ahead of that. If you are far ahead, then you're doing great, keep following the guide normally, don't skip anything.



    LEVEL 61

    If you wish to go train your new skills or to visit the AH. The quickest way is to simply fly to Shattrath and use one of the 3 main city portals.

    Once you are done, hearthstone back to Honor Hold.
    Go to the 2nd floor of the Inn and turn in [61] Fel Spirits and [61] Digging for Prayer Beads. Get the follow up [61] The Exorcism of Colonel Jules.
    Find the Ritual Prayer Beads in your inventory and put them on your action bars. You'll have to click it during the fight to kill the enemies that will appear.
    Once you are full HP/Mana and fully buffed, talk to Anchorite Barada, who will begin the exorcism ritual. After about 20 seconds, things will start to spawn in the room, some flying skulls (called "Darkness Released") and some Roting Sludges on the floor. They aren't easy to target so just use your tab key to get them quickly. You can use conventionnal attacks if there's just one at a time (they have 1000 HP), but whenever you start to be overwhelmed, click your prayer beads, which will kill every single monster in the room. There is a 15 second cooldown on the prayer beads.
    All you have to do is kill all the enemies that spawn for about 2 minutes without letting Barada die. It is quite an easy task thanks to the prayer beads.
    When the ritual is over, go and talk to Colonel Jules and you should get the quest complete message.
    Turn in the quest at Assistant Klatu and get the follow up [61] Trollbane is Looking For you.

    Now exit the inn, go to the main keep, turn in [61] Trollbane is Looking for You and get the follow up [62+] Drill the Drillmaster.

    Also, since you're now friendly with Honor Hold, you might want to go check the Quartermaster for possible upgrades.

    1. Exit Honor Hold through the west gate, go to the guard tower and turn in [61] Unyielding Souls, get the follow up [61] Looking to the Leadership.

    2. Go south to the mine, turn in [61] A Job for an Intelligent Man.
    Now go inside the mine and kill 12 Gan'arg Sappers. When you're done, get out of the mine, turn in the quest and get the follow up [61] The Mastermind.
    Get back into the mine and this time clear to the bottom of it and find Z'Kral. Kill him and get out of the mine. Turn in the quest.

    3. Ride northeast to the entrance of the Path of Glory (63,49). From this point on, you must look for skeletal remains on the ground, it is called "Trampled Skeleton".
    You can find plenty of them at the entrance to the path of glory, and they respawn quite quickly (about 30 seconds). You just need to right-click them.

    4. Once you've cleansed 8 skeletons, ride back to Honor Hold. Go to the main keep and turn in [61] The Path of Glory (2nd Floor) and get the follow up [63] The Temple of Telhamat.

    5. Take a gryphon ride to the Temple of Telhamat.
    Go to the Inn, turn in [63] The Temple of Telhamat, get the quest [61] Helping the Cenarion Post and [63] An Ambitious Plan.

    6. Ride south until you hit the road, then follow that road west until you find Cenarion Post (16,51). Turn in [61] Missing Missive and [61] Helping the Cenarion Post. Get the follow up [63] Demonic Contamination. Also get all the other quests:

    [63] Keep Thornfang hill Clear
    [63] Colossal Menace
    [62] The Cenarion Expedition

    Reminder: Keep killing boars on your way if you haven't finished [61] Helboar, the Other White Meat. For the other boar quest [63] Demonic Contamination, only Hulking Boars can drop the Blood Samples, so make sure you kill those on sight.

    7. Go southeast until you find Dustquill Ravine (24,65). Clear yourself a path through the ravine going south, staying close to the mountain to the west. At some point you should see a yellow "?" on your minimap saying Gremni Longbeard (24,72). Go there, turn in the quest [62] The Longbeards, get the follow up [63] The Arakkoa Threat and the other quest [63] Rampaging Ravagers.
    Now go to the other dwarf and get his quest, which you can turn in instantly if you followed the guide correctly until now, and get the follow up [62] The Finest Down.

    8. Just southeast of the dwarves is the entrance to the Den of Haal'esh (26,71).

    Kill every bird and arrakoa you find on your way.

    Go down the slope and stay on the main path until you see a little rocky path lit by torches on the left side. Take this path and go up, then cross the wooden bridge and turn left. You should soon find a big birdman named Avruu. Try to pull him solo and interrupt his Dark Mending spell if possible, then loot his orb. Right-click Avruu's Orb and accept the quest [63] Avruu's Orb.

    9. Go back down the main path and this time go southeast instead of taking the rocky path, you will soon enter Haal'eshi Gorge.

    Keep going southeast until you find the Haal'eshi Altar. (29,81).

    Right-click it and "Aeranas" will spawn.

    Beat him down to 15% HP or so.

    Then turn in the quest [63] Avruu's orb.

    Now start clearing your way back to the dwarven camp and complete [63] The Arakkoa Threat and [62] The Finest Down on the way. Just clear the way out, don't try to run out because those birdmen can really sprint like hell. Tip: if you click on the Kaliri nests, a bird spawns and they can also drop Kaliri Feathers.

    10. When you are done, go back to the dwarves and turn in both quests.

    11. Now go slightly northwest and kill 10 Quillfang Ravagers. When you are done, go back to Grumni Longbeard and turn in [63] Rampaging Ravagers.

    12. Go northeast and enter The Great Fissure (27,70). Start to ask in general channel if anyone is interested in doing the quest [63+] The Rock Flayer Matriarch, she is in the cave in the same area. In the meantime, kill Stonescythe Whelps and Alphas while heading towards the cave (34,63).

    13. Anyway, once you are done with killing whelps and alphas, you can try to go and solo Blacktalon the Savage if you haven't found a partner yet. Pretty much all ranged classes can kite it to death, just make sure you clear the way before you engage it.
    If you can't solo it and can't find a partner, just abandon the quest, you can come back here at level 70 and do it solo for some extra gold.

    14. Mount up, ride east and get out of the great fissure. You should be right next to the PvP objective called "Broken Hill". If you feel like it, you can do the pvp quest now, all you have to do is stand inside the objectives until they become controlled by the alliance (this can't work if it's already controlled by the Alliance, so you might have to come back later). This quest only gives 5000 experience, but it gives reputation and marks which you can use as currency to buy some rewards at the honor hold quartermaster. And a little bit of PvP is a nice break from questing/grinding. However this is optional, so it's your choice! I personally did that quest on my rogue while looking for a healer who wanted to team up to do [63] Drilling the Drillmaster (explained below).

    15. Now let's get back to business. There's one elite quest we can try to get out of the way right now, most kiting classes can solo it, but it's difficult. So what you can do is look for other players who want to do [62+] Drill the Drillmaster. Melee classes will definitely want to bring a healer along.
    You can go to the next paragraph and proceed with the guide while you look for other players. If you got a group (or if you wanna try soloing it), here is the fastest way to kill Drillmaster Zurok.
    Go to Hellfire Citadel's bridge, coming from the south, and if you look down to your left you should see Drillmaster Zurok down there, as well as other orcs. Here is where you must jump down at (49,55):

    When down there, kill all the orcs around the Drillmaster and behind you to have a lot of space. Once there's only the Drillmaster Zurok left, kill him. He hits for 500 on clothies, has a lot of HP and has two special abilities:

    1. Knockback -- that's why we clear the area, or else he'd toss you into some adds and it'd get ugly very quick.
    2. Whirlwind -- it hurts a lot but all you have to do is back off when he does it, so no problem.

    Once he's dead you just have to clear the way out and get out of the path of glory.
    If you really can't find help to do this quest, you can abandon it and come back at level 70. It's not a big deal.

    16. So, let's do some solo quests while you look for help for [63+] Drill the Drillmaster.
    If you still haven't completed [61] Helboar, the Other White Meat make a stop at the area just southwest of Honor Hold (50,69) and kill all the boars there.

    17. Ride to Zeppelin Crash (49,75), turn in [61] Helboar, the Other White Meat, get the follow up [61] Smooth as Butter. Turn in [61] In Case of Emergency and get the follow up [61] Voidwalkers Gone Wild.

    18. Go further south to the Warp Fields (46,82), there you should see a Warp Portal with Voidwalkers around it. Find an "Uncontrolled Voidwalker", take it down to 15% HP or lower, then click the Sanctified Crystal in your inventory. A red crystal will appear, click it and you should receive a Glowing Sanctified Crystal. Now keep on killing voidwalkers (any type) in the area until you have completed [61] Voidwalkers Gone Wild.

    19. Go east to Expedition Armory, clear the way towards the southern area of the armory, you will find Lieutenant Comamnder Thalvos standing in the southern most house in rubbles (55,84). Kill him.
    About 50 yards northwest of this spot you should find Arch Mage Xintor (54,81) standing on flat ground next to some wooden practice dummies. Kill him too.
    Go south and behind the armory, you should see a destroyed house in the distance, go there. Infront of the house you should see a white book called Mysteries of the Light (55,87). Loot it.

    20. Go northeast to the Valley of Bones (56,73) and kill buzzards until you have 12 Plump Buzzard Wings.

    21. When done, ride west/southwest to Zeppelin Crash, turn in [61] Voidwalkers Gone Wild and [61] Smooth as Butter.

    22. Hearthstone back to Honor Hold.
    Turn in the following quests (some of them were optional and you can come back at level 70 to do them):

    • [61] An Old Gift
    • [60] Hellfire Fortifications (Optional)
    • [62] Drill the Drillmaster (optional)
    • [61] Looking to the Leadership (in the west tower)

    Sell junk and repair.

    Fly to the Temple of Telhamat.

    Turn in:

    • [63] An Ambitious Plan
    • [62] Deadly Predators
    • [63] The Rock Flayer Matriarch (Optional)

    1. Exit Telhamat and go northeast - while killing Hulking Boars - and enter the path going through the mountain (28,36) then keep going northeast until you encounter some Mag'har Orcs.
    Time to rampage through the Mag'har Grounds until you have 10 Mag'har Ancestral Beads. They can only drop from Grunts and Debilitated Grunts.

    2. When you're done with that, go back down the mountain, and then ride east and then north, to the Pools of Aggonar (38,44).
    Before you kill anything, start to ask in the general channel if someone wants to do [63+] Overlord. The mob you have to kill to complete this elite quest is in the same area, so look for a group to kill it while you do the other two quest. I recommend having a tank, a healer and some DPS class or killing Arazzius the Cruel will be a pain. Anyway, once you got a group together, go to the next paragraph and read infos about Arazzius. In the meantime, kill Oozes and Terrorfiends until you complete both quests [61] The Heart of Darkness and [62] The Pools of Aggonar. The terrorfiends cast fel flames and it kinda hurts, so interrupt it or move away from it.

    3. [63+] Overlord: This quest is not mandatory, but completing it early is very nice because the reward is worth it and will help you through leveling up to 70. If you really can't find people to help you, it's not a big deal, you can always come back later and try again.
    Anyway, Arazzius the Cruel is at the end of the canyon in the Pools of Aggonar. He is guarded by two mistresses of doom, make sure you pull both before you engage Arazzius himself. Arazzius casts Pyroblast, Shadow Bolt Volleys and Inferno. You must absolutely interrupt inferno, or he will summon Infernals and things will get hectic. You can just heal through Pyroblast and Shadowbolt Volleys. However if you got plenty of classes with interrupts in your group, you might as well interrupt all his spells. But just make sure Inferno is kicked, pummeled or shield bashed, counterspelled or even earth shocked.

    4. Once you've completed the two quests mentioned above, get back on the road and ride to Telhamat. If you still haven't found a group for [63+] Overlord, keep looking, we are going back to the Pools of Aggonar very soon anyway.
    In Telhamat turn in [63] Makuru's Vengeance, a dialog will start between two NPCs, then a new quest will be available: [63] Atonement. Get this quest.
    Go up to the temple and turn in [62] The Pools of Aggonar and [63] Atonement, get the follows ups [63] Sha'naar Relics and [62] Cleansing the Waters.

    5. Get out of Telhamat and go northeast, kill the boars there -if you still need them- then ride east to the Pools of Aggonar.

    6. Clear yourself a path to the northernmost part of the Pools of Aggonar, where you should see what appears to be the skeleton of a giant demon dog (39,30). Once you have made some space around this skeleton, stand exactly as shown in the screenshot below and use the Cleansing Vial from your inventory.

    A level 63 demon called Aggonis should spawn, he is easy to kill solo but he casts fear, this is why we cleared the area around.

    7. Once he is dead, get back on the road, go east through the great wall, and then northeast until you find Foreman Razelcraz (51,31). Get his quest [61] Outland Sucks!.

    8. Go to the valley southwest and look for Shredder Spare Parts (look for wooden crates on the ground).

    9. Go back to Foreman Razelcraz, turn in [61] Outland Sucks! and get the follow up [61] How to Serve Goblins.

    10. Ride southwest towards the great wall, stop at the orc camp on the northern side of the road. Locate Manni's Cage (45,41), clear the way to him and free him.

    11. Now go to the orc camp south of here, just on the other side of the road (warning: sometimes a fel reaver passes by). Locate Moh's Cage (46,45) and free him.
    Just a bit south of this cage you should find the last one, Jakk's cage (47,46). Free him.

    12. Go back to Foreman Razelcraz.

    Turn in [61] How to Serve Goblins, get the follow up [61] Shizz Work.

    13. Click the Felhound Whistle from your inventory while standing next to Foreman Razelcraz. This should summon a Fel Guard Hound who will follow you around. Go kill the Helboars west of here. Each time you kill a boar, your Fel Hound will eat them and then leave some Felhound Poo behind him. Right-click the poo, if you are lucky you will find the Shredder Key, if not, keep killing boars until your Fel Hound produces the right type of poo Sticking out tongue

    14. Go back to Foreman Razelcraz, turn in the quest and get the follow up [61] Beneath Thrallmar.

    15. Now enter the mine just a few steps away from Foreman Razelcraz, find and kill Urga'zz at the bottom of the mine.

    16. Go back to Foreman and turn in [61] Beneath Thrallmar.

    17. Hearthstone back to Honor Hold. Go to the main keep and turn in the quests:

    • [61] The Heart of Darkness
    • [63+] Overlord

    Congratulations on your new trinket! You should also be level 62 now or pretty close. If you aren't, don't worry about it, you will catch up later.


    LEVEL 62

    Go sell, repair and restock food/drinks. Fly to Telhamat. Go to the Inn and turn in the quest [62] Cleansing the Waters.

    1. Get out of Telhamat. If you haven't finished [63] Demonic Contamination yet, go northeast of Telhamat and kill boars there until you are done with this quest.

    2. Ride southwest to Cenarion Post (16,52). Turn in [63] Demonic Contamination, get the follow up [63] Testing the Antidote. Find a hulking boar, there are plenty around the camp and east of it. Get the boar to low health (under 50%HP is enough) and then click the Cenarion Antidote - some red flask - from your inventory. The boar will grow and be renamed to Dreadtusk. Finish it and you should get a quest complete message.
    Go back to Cenarion Post and turn in the quest [63] Testing the Antidote.

    3. Go southwest to the Ruins of Sha'naar (14,55). Kill Taskmasters - just ignore the Dreghood Brutes, they will stop attacking once you kill the taskmaster linked to them - and look for Sha'naar Relics. Avoid Azreth the Merciless, he roams up and down the path in the middle of the ruins.
    In one of the houses to the left you should find Akoru the Firecaller (15,59), get his quest [62] Naladu.

    4. To find Naladu, first you have to wait for Arzeth the Merciless to take a walk away from the stairs. Then move up those stairs and go left, you should find Naladu in a small hut at the end of this path (16,65). Turn in the quest [62] Naladu and get the follow up [62] A Traitor Among Us.

    Once again wait for Azreth the Merciless to be away from the stairs and then go to the main hut infront of the stairs. Inside the hut you should find a Metal Coffer, open it and receive the Sha'Nar Key.
    Return to Naladu, turn in the quest [62] A Traitor Among Us and get the follow up [62] The Dreghood Elders.

    Wait for Azreth to walk away from the stairs, then go down and turn left, in the first hut to the left you should find Morod the Windstirrer, talk to him and free him.
    About 50 yards directly north of the hut you should find Aylaan the Waterwaker, free him too.
    Go east to the hut where we found the first quest giver ealier, Akoru the Firecaller. Free him.
    Go back to Nadalu and turn in the quest, get the follow up [62] Arzeth's Demise.
    Now time to payback that big demon for all the time he made us wait down those stairs!
    Get close enough to Azreth to use your Staff of the Dreghood Elders, this will turn Azreth into a non-elite monster, easy to solo.
    Note: He will still be immune to movement impairing effects like Frostbolt, so don't try to kite him, just take the beating and kill him before he kills you.

    Go back to Naladu and turn in [62] Arzeth's Demise.
    You should also be done with [63] Sha'Naar Relics and [63] Cruel Taskmasters by now. If not, make sure to complete them before leaving the Ruins of Sha'naar.

    5. Get out of the ruins. Go northwest to Thornfang hill (12,50) and start to kill Ravagers and Venomspitters. At the same time, ask in the general channel if someone wants to team up to do [63+] Colossal Menace. The giants you need to kill for this quest are a few steps north of thornfang hill, but are too hard to solo for most classes. Keep killing Ravagers until you find help to do [63+] Colossal Menace. This quest is really worth it, you will get nearly 20000XP from it.

    6. Go north of Thornfang Hill and start to kill giants. The first colossus you kill will drop a Crimson Crystal Shard, right-click it to get the quest [63] Crimson Crystal Clue.
    The colossus splits into 3 smaller colossi when you damage them, I recommend killing the small ones as soon as they spawn. They do almost as much damage as the big one but have much less hit points.

    7. Once you have completed both [63] Keep Thornfang Hill Clear! and [63+] Colossus Menace, go back to Cenarion Post and turn in:

    [63] Colossal Menace
    [63] Crimson Crystal Clue
    , get the follow up [63+] The Earthbinder.

    Turn in, [63] Keep Thornfang Hill Clear!.

    Now turn in right away [63+] The Earthbinder.

    After turning it in, Earthbinder Galandria Nightbreeze will move off the earth mound and plant a seed. Shortly after, an elite colossus will spawn, it is easily soloable if you let Earthbinder Galandria tank for you, just let her get sufficient aggro before you start to attack.
    After the colossus is dead she will have another quest for you [63+] Natural Remedies. You may choose to do this quest or not, it is optional. It gives 13550 XP and some decent rewards, but it is harder than the previous one because you have to go in the middle of the colossus fields this time, clear a lot of space around the big red crystal and then use your Seed of Revitalization on it. A big colossus will spawn and you'll have to kill it, he does knockback (that's why we clear the area around him). Most classes can't solo this, so you'll have to find a partner to do it. If you can't be bothered with that, just don't take this quest and save it for level 70.

    8. Ride back to the Temple of Telhamat, turn in [63] Cruel Taskmasters. Go to the Inn, turn in [63] Sha'naar Relics and get the follow up: [63] The Seer's Relic. Go to the Gryphon Master, and jump off the cliff behind him.

    9. Go east to Sedai's Corpse. Stand next to the corpse and click on the Seer's Relic in your inventory. A scene will take place, watch it and after a moment you will get a quest complete message. Go back to the Inn in Telhamat and turn in [63] The Seer's Relic.

    You are pretty much done with Hellfire Penninsula now, besides the instanced parts. You should be level 63 at least now and it's the perfect time to do the Hellfire Ramparts instance if you haven't done it already, it is actually nice XP with a decent group and you can pick up some gear upgrades on the way.

    You can also go to a main city and train your new skill(s) and re-stock consumables if you wish to do so.

    Fly to the Temple of Telhamat.

    ==Optional== Turn in [63] Natural Remedies if you did it.

    Ride southwest to Thornfang Hill (10,50) and clear the way to Zangarmarsh.

    1. Shortly after entering Zangarmarsh you should find Cenarion Refuge. Get the following quests:

    • [62] The Umbrafen Tribe
    • [63] Plants of Zangarmarsh
    • [64] Leader of the Darkcrest
    • [63] Leader of the Bloodscale
    • [62] The Dying Balance

    Go to the innkeeper and make this inn your home.

    Turn in [62] The Cenarion Expedition and get [63] Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake and [64] Warden Hamoot. Go to the other building, move to the top of it and turn [64] Warden Hamoot, get the follow up [64] A Warm Welcome.

    2. Mount up, follow the road north and turn west at the first fork. Follow the path until you find Telredor. There is a platform with a lift taking you up the tower (70,49).
    Get all the quests you can find in Telredor:

    • [64] The Orebor Harborage
    • [62] The Boha'mu Ruins
    • [62] The Fate of Tuurem
    • [62] The Dead Mire
    • [62] Unfinished Business
    • [62] Fulgor Spores
    • [62] Too Many Mouths to Feed
    • [62] Menacing Marshfangs

    Get the flight path.

    Go back down and start looking for Fulgor Spores - they can picked up off the floor nearby Telredor. They look like this:

    Just make a full circle around the tower while looking for those spores, you should find 2 or 3 at least. Also look in the ponds surrounding the tower.

    3. Then start moving east, kill every Marshfang Ripper you can find on your way.
    If you keep going east you will reach a wooden path at some point, follow it north until you enter The Dead Mire (81,49).
    TIP: If you kill a spore bat while being in melee range the moment it dies, you will get a 5 minute buff: +30 to all stats. So just kill spore bats whenever they are on your way and get this nifty buff.

    4. You can find the Dead Mire Soil southeast of the pond which is in the middle of the mire. The exact loc is (84,43) and the soil looks like this.

    Stay in this area and kill Withered Giants until one of them drops a Withered Basidium. Right-click it to start the quest [62] Withered Basidium.

    5. Go southwest until you are at (77,45). You should find a named sporebat called Sporewing in this area. Kill Sporewing.

    6. Keep going southwest while killing Marshfang Rippers on your way, you should now have killed 10 of them.

    7. Go back to Telredor and look for Fulgore spores around the tower again. It doesn't matter if you finish that quest yet, we will have more opportunities to look for Fulgore Spores.

    Go up the tower and turn in:

    • [62] Withered Basidium, get the follow up [62] Withered Flesh

    ==Note== Don't sell Fertile Spores if you found any. They drop from the following mobs: Sporebats, Greater Sporebats, Fen Striders, Marsh Walkers. So kill those mobs on sight, you will need 10 Fertile Spores for a quest later on.

    8. Get off the tower and go back to the Dead Mire. Kill everything in the area until you have completed the following objectives:

    Complete [62] An Unnatural Drought
    Complete [62] Withered Flesh
    Gather 20 Unidentified Plant Parts (they can drop from most monsters in Zangarmarsh).

    ==Note== Be careful not to sell Unidentified Plant Parts and Bog Lord Tendrils when you sell junk! Keep them for later, they are needed for certain quests later.

    9. Ride back to Telredor and gather the last Fulgor Spores you might still be missing.

    Go up the tower and turn in the following quests:

    • [62] Fulgor Spores
    • [62] Withered Flesh
    • [62] An Unnatural Drought

    1. Ride southeast until you reach the northern tip of Umbrafen Lake (72,60). Start killing Mire Hydras while going south along the western bank of the lake. You don't have to go in the water to find them, they are all pretty close to the shore, sometimes they are underwater and can't be seen, but you can target them easily using your tab key, and pull them out with a ranged ability. Also kill nagas who get in your way.

    2. Keep going south until you reach the steam pump at (71,79). You should get a quest update message for the [63] Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake quest.

    Keep going around the lake until you have killed 10 Mire Hydras.

    3. Once you are done with that, use the Potion of Water Breathing which you should have in your inventory, dive in the lake and hunt Umbrafen Eels until you have 8 Eel Filet. Arm yourself with patience, this may take a while.

    4. When you're done with the eel hunting, exit Lake Umbrafen on the east side and go southeast to the spot marked on the map (82,74). You should find Boglash, a named bog strider, he roams up and down the shallow waters in this area.
    He is elite but can be soloed by pretty much any class, even with average gear. Make sure your long cooldown abilities and potion timers are ready and it should be ok. He is immune to fear and movement impairing effects, however he can be interrupted and stunned.
    Tip: Get the spore buff from one of the spore bats, it helps.

    5. Go south to Umbrafen Village (83,80). Kill every Broken in the village, then move south to the next village, clear it too.

    6. Move further southeast to the main village. Clear it and enter the main building (85,90). On the top floor you should find Kataru, kill him.
    Now go kill what you still need to complete [62] The Umbrafen Tribe.

    7. When you are done, move to the middle village (83,85), and you should find Kayra Longmane in one of the huts.
    If she's not there it means someone else is currently doing the escort quest, so just kill stuff in the area while waiting for her to come back. When you're ready to start the escort quest, talk to Kayra and get the quest [63] Escape from Umbrafen.
    Escort her back to Cenarion Refuge.

    8. In Cenarion Refuge turn in:

    • [62] The Umbrafen Tribe, get the follow up [62] A Damp, Dark Place.
    • [63] Plants of Zangarmarsh. You should normally have about 20 extra Unidentified Plant Parts. Get the repeatable quest from her [64] Identify Plant Parts and turn in all the remaining plants you have for extra reputation (you can only repeat this quest until Honored). It is possible to get [63] Uncatalogued Species from the Package of Identified Plants you get, if you are lucky enough to get one accept the quest but wait with turning it in until you are honored with Cenarion Expedition.
      Get the quest [62] Saving the Sporeloks from the same NPC. Right behind you should be a new quest available: [62+] Safeguarding the Watchers, get it.
    • Go to the Inn and turn in [62] The Dying Balance.
    • Turn in [63] Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake, get the follow up [63] As the Crow Flies. Also turn in [63] Escape from Umbrafen.

    Now right-click the Stormcrow Amulet from your inventory. You don't have to do anything, just enjoy the ride. When it's over, turn in the quest [63] As the Crow Flies, get the follow up [64] Balance Must Be Preserved.
    Make space in your bags, buy some food and drink.

    1. Head south to Funggor Cavern (75,90) which is southwest of Umbrafen Village, there is small path going up to access it.
    Enter the cave. At the 1st fork, go right. At the 2nd fork, go right, then go down the slope and look for Ikeyen's Belongings, it' a small box on top of a flat rock, loot it.

    Go further down the slope and this time go left. Go to the end of that tunnel and you should find Lord Klaq. He is guarded by 3 other fungal giants, but it's still manageable if you go your cooldowns and pot timers ready. Just kill Lord Klaq first and run away if you can't handle them all, wait until they get attacked by sporeloks and Lord Klaq should come solo as long as you don't do damage to the other fungal giants. They will link later once they've killed the sporeloks, but you should be far away already. Anyway, I've managed to solo Lord Klaq + his 3 guards with every class I've played at this level, so you should be able to.
    Note: they can also be splitted, I managed quite often to pull 1-2 guards without Lord Klaq first.

    Keep killing stuff in this cave until you finish [62] Saving the Sporeloks.

    You should also be level 63 by now, at least. If you are higher than that, it's great, keep going normally, don't skip anything.
    If you're lower level than that, it's not a big deal either, you will catch up soon enough, don't worry.


    LEVEL 63

    2. Get out of the cave. Mount up, go northwest to the Umbrafen Lake Steam Pump (71,81). There should be a Steam Pump Overseer guarding it. Kill it and if you're lucky, it will drop Drain Schematics, loot them and right-click them to start the quest [63] Drain Schematics. If he doesn't drop them, no problem, just read the rest of this paragraph.
    Go next to the control console and click the Ironvine Seeds in your inventory. Another Steam Pump Overseer should spawn and attack you. Kill it, loot the schematics if you don't have them. If he still didn't drop the schematics, keep using your Ironvine Seeds to spawn more Steam Pump Overseers, until you get the schematics.

    3. Ride northwest to Serpent Lake (that's the large lake in the middle of the map), swim towards the middle of the lake until you discover a big steam pump at (50,41). You will have to swim down a little to get the quest update message for [63] Drain Schematics.

    2. Get off Telredor and ride northwest to Bloodscale Grounds (65,41). You should find a named naga there, Rajis Fyashe. She is elite and most classes probably can't solo her, she casts frostbolts for 800dmg, tosses you in the air, summons a small elemental and she is immune to root and snare effects. So try to find a partner to duo this quest while you grind on nearby nagas. If you really can't find help, just abandon the quest.

    3. Just slightly west you should find another steampump at the eastern tip of Serpent Lake (62,41). Go next to the controle console and use your Ironvine Seeds.

    5. Exit the village and go west. Go west towards Daggerfen Village (27,22) and kill every ogre you find on your way.
    Once you are in Daggerfen Village, kill every Daggerfen Muckdweller or Assassin in the area, while looking for a Daggerfen Poison Vial. They can be found near the tents and are rather small, so look thoroughly until you find one.

    6. Once you've found one, you must find the main tower, which is located a little southwest of here (24,27). Before you go up the spiral staircase, get full HP/Mana, because you'll have to kill 3 mobs at the same time, including Chieftain Mummaki.
    Loot Chieftain Mummaki's Totem and then look on the floor for an open book called "Daggerfen Poison Manual", loot it too. Now finish [64] Daggerfen Deviance.

    7. Go back towards Orebor Harborage, kill every ogre on the way until you complete [64] Ango'rosh Encroachment.

    2. Head west to the Spawning Glen. Look for a Sporelok named Fahssn (19,63). Get his 2 quests:

    • [63] The Sporelings' Plight
    • [64] Natural Enemies

    3. Go further west in the Spawning Glen and look for Mature Spore Sacs.

    Kill giants on the way and stay in this area until you have:

    • 6 Bog Lord Tendrils
    • Got the "Investigate the Spawning Glen" message

    4. Go back to Fahssn, turn in [63] The Sporelings' Plight and [64] Natural Enemies.

    Now we need to work on our Sporeggar reputation until we're at least 750/3000 in Neutral with Sporeggar.

    So go back to the Spawning Glen. Kill giants and gather mature spore sacs until you complete either of the following objectives:

    • Reputation Unfriendly 2250/3000 with Sporeggar and have 6 Bog Lord Tendril + 10 Mature Spore Sacs

      or

Kill stuff in this area until you find a named nether ray called Count Ungula. Kill it and loot "Count" Ungula's Mandible. Right-click it and start the quest [64] The Count of the Marshes.
    Stay in this area and kill Marshfang Slicers until you finish [64] Lines of Communication.

    9. Go southeast to the Boha'mu Ruins (44,66). Clear the way up the stairs. There is an elite called Elder Kuruti inside the house, don't attack it. You just need to step inside the house to get the "Explore the Boha'mu Ruins" complete message, without aggroing the elite.

    10. Go down the stairs, mount up and ride east / southeast towards The Lagoon and go around it until you end up on the eastern side of the lake where you should encounter Nagas. Clear the way to the steam pump (63,65) and disable it with your Ironvine Seeds.

    11. Now we're gonna kill an elite naga called Rajah Haghazed. He can be found in the middle of the naga village under at gazebo structure directly southeast of the steam pump. Most classes can't solo this, so look for a partner to duo it with while killing nagas in the area. Stay in the area at least until you finish [64] A Warm Welcome. If you really can't find help to kill Rajah, just abandon the quest.

    12. Mount up and go north to Telredor. Turn in [62] The Boha'mu Ruins, get the follow up [62] Idols of the Feralfen, sell junk and repair.

The drop rate on Fenclaw Hide is 100%, so you just need to kill 8 Trashers.
