Introduction

This guide starts at level 51. However I hope that you followed the previous chapters of my guide. 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 some more grinding to do to catch up. If you need guides for any other level range (from 1-51 for example) please take a look at this page.

This guide is optimized for FAST leveling with a minimum of grinding sessions. Quests are important, they give rewards and faction and are less boring than pure grinding.

Some people say that grinding is always faster than questing, this is true in theory when you don't know which quests to take and which to avoid, and what is the best order to do them in. With this guide, questing will be very efficient and much better than pure grinding. Follow each instruction carefully and you will see for yourself.

The quest choices and order to do them in are optimized so that you run as few as possible while doing the most possible and then turning several quests in at the same time. This guide will be very useful for both veteran and novice players. I try to keep the amount of information as short as possible. So even the guide itself is optimized for the minimum reading possible, to save time! Let's get started immediately then! Everything described in this guide can be done solo (besides when I say otherwise). However you can follow this guide while duoing, grouping, it's not a problem, it works too.

Basic rules

  1. As soon as you see that you start to lack experience compared to the progress described in the guide start to kill everything that is on your way while traveling and that gives experience (Yellow mobs preferably, but greens are ok if they are just 3-4 levels below you, not more).

  2. Spend your talent points so you do the most damage possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, Rogues Combat/Assassination, etc).

  3. Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide.
    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)

  4. Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.

  5. If I don't mention a quest, it means I consider it a waste of time, so don't take it thinking I forgot a quest here and there, I didn't. Also don't abandon a quest unless I say you should.

  6. Sometimes I will be making lists of quest you should have before starting with an area, that doesn't mean I will list the whole quest log, JUST the quests that interest us for the moment.

  7. When I say you should bind (make an inn your home location) somewhere, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time. Don't change your home location until I say so.

Useful Addons

Something that's amazingly useful is the Ace2 updater. Download and install it and the program will present you with a list of addons which all use the same library (hence they consume very few ressources). From that list you can choose addons that interest you (I downloaded Fubar quest mod, Fubar location, Cartographer, Bartender and a mod to make my UI look better) and the program will install all the addons for you. Furthermore you can run the program every time before you launch WoW and choose to update all installed modules for you.

Side Note:
If your addons are not being loaded when you enter the game you might need to log out to your character selection screen and click on "Addons" in the left lower corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Relaunch WoW.

Shopping List:

  1. Level 51: 15x Silk Cloth (you only need this if you decide to do the optional circuit in Searing Gorge)
  2. Level 55: Mithril Casing - Made by Engineers. Components are 3x Mithril Bars
  3. Level 60: 2x Thorium Bars

These might not always be up for sale, so start checking early.

Level 51

Fly to Camp Mojache.

Sell, repair and restock food and drink (4 stacks).

Set your hearthstone to Camp Mojache.

Turn in [47]Testing the Vessel and get the follow up [47]Hyppogryph Muisek.

Also get:

  1. [50]Dark Heart
  2. [50]Vengeance on the Northspring
  3. [52]The Strength of Corruption

from Talo Thornhoof, who is in a house close to the eastern exit of Camp Mojache.

1. Ride west, stay on the road till after the first stone bridge, then go southwest, past the yeti cave and you should soon encounter some hippogryphs (56,62). Kill 10 of them and use the Hippogryph Muisek Vessel on their corpses after having looted them. Check the status of the quest [50]Natural Materials, and if needed, stay in this area and kill hippogryphs until you have 20 Resilient Sinews and 33/40 Metallic Fragments (we'll get the 7 last one off giants soon).

2. Once you have harvested 10 Hippogryph Muiseks, go to the yeti cave and do the Distress Beacon escort if you haven't done it already. Read the tips I gave in the previous guide (level 46) before you start the quest. If you still don't have the Feralas distress beacon, don't worry, we still have quite a lot to do in Feralas so it will most likely drop before we leave the zone. Proceed with the next paragraph.

3. Get back on the road and ride westwards till you reach the shore. Next to the pier you should find a goblin named Zorbin Fandazlle (45,44). Get his 2 quests: [48]Fuel for the Zapping and [48]Zapped Giants.

==Note== The Zapper you get for this quest has a 2 hour duration only. So if you log off now or during the quest, you'll have to abandon it (and lose the residues you already worked for) to re-take the quest and get a new zapper. Simply put: If you start this quest, do it in one session.

4. Go south along the shore and start killing water elementals. Look for giants as well, they are elite but if you use the Zorbin's Zapper on them they become totally manageable. Keep killing elementals and giants until you got 15 Miniaturization Residue and 10 Water Elemental Core.
Once finished, go turn in your quest at Zorbin Fandazzle. Don't get the follow ups.

5. Hearthstone to Camp Mojache.
Turn in [47]Hippogryph Muisek, get the follow up [45]Faerie Dragon Muisek.

6. Ride west to the Sprite Darters area (70,47), kill them and use the Faerie Dragon Muisek Vessel on their corpses after having looted them. Do that 8 times.

7. Ride back to Camp Mojache. Turn in [45]Faerie Dragon Muisek, get the follow up [50]Treant Muisek.

8. Ride southwest to the alpha gnoll camps (71,57). Kill the gnolls in the area while waiting for a Wandering Forest Walker to pass by. They are level 45ish and non-agressive treants. One should pass by every 5 min, so just grind on gnolls while waiting. Kill 3 of those treants and use the Treant Muisek Vessel on their corpses after having looted them.

9. Ride back to Camp Mojache, turn in [50]Treant Muisek and get the follow up [50]Mountain Giant Muisek (elite).

Sell, repair and restock food/drink (4 stacks).

1. Ride west, follow the road, make a stop by the yeti cave if you got the distress beacon recently and escort the robot chicken. If you can't - or already have done - the chicken escort, follow the road west until you reach the shore at the total opposite side of the map, where Zorbin Fandazzle is (45,44). Get his quest [55]Again with the Zapped Giants.

2. Get back on the road and ride north.Follow the road until you are exactly where "The Twin Colossals" is written on the world map. Go directly west and soon you should find Gregan Brewspewer, who is a dwarf standing next to a small white tent (45,25).

From Gregan's camp, go northwest until you encounter some Cliff Giants/Land Walkers (40,22). Use your Zorbin's Ultra-Shrinker on them, kill them and loot them, then use the Giant Muisek Vessel on their corpses.

Stay in this area and do this 7 times. You can destroy the miniature residue, the Zapper and abandon the quest [55]Again with the Zapped Giants, it's just 500 exp and the long ride isn't worth it. We just took the quest because we needed the Zapper.

Note: Also kill the treants passing by if you still lack Splintered Logs for the quest [50]Natural Materials.

3. Ride southeast to the yeti cave (51,32). Kill Rage Scar Yetis until you get 10 Rage Scar Yeti Hide and a Perfect Yeti Hide (rare drop). When you get the Perfect Hide, right click it and get the quest [48]Perfect Yeti Hide.

4. Get back on the road and go north, past the twin colossals, then turn west to the Ruins of Ravenwind (41,12). Time to kill some harpies, kill everything in the ruins until you have completed [50]Vengeance on the Northspring and have found a Horn of Hate, which can drop from any harpy.

5. Once you have done that, go to the northernmost part of the ruins, you should find two identical stones at (40,8 ).

We're about to summon a level 50 harpy. When you are ready, go in between the two stones at (40,8 ) and blow the Horn of Hate. Wait about 20 seconds and she should appear in between the two stones.
Once she's dead, loot Edana's Dark Heart off her. If you got the distress beacon and still haven't done the chicken escort quest, go do it now.

6. Hearthstone or ride back to Camp Mojache.

In Camp Mojache, turn in the following quests:

  1. [50]Mountain Giant Muisek
  2. [50]Natural Materials, take the follow up [50]Weapons of Spirit, wait 20 seconds for witch doctor Uzer'i to do his script then turn in [50]Weapons of Spirit.
  3. [48]Improved Quality
  4. [48]Perfect Yeti Hide
  5. [50]Vengeance on the Northspring
  6. [50]Dark Heart

Fly to Orgrimmar.

Set your hearthstone here.

In Orgrimmar go to the Valley of Spirits and find Uthel'nay (check your minimap for a yellow question mark), turn in [47]The Gordunni Orb.

Optional: While you are at Uthel'nay, take the quest [42]Shadowshard fragments, if you intend to go to Maraudon in the future.

Ride to the drag, go up the stairs to the left immediately after entering it, keep going until you see a yellow question mark showing where Zilzibin Drumlore is. Turn in the quest [48]Rise of the Silithid. Get the other quest [53]March of the Silithid.

Go to Dran Droffers just northeast of Zilzibin, also in The Drag, turn in [48]Ripple Delivery.

Finally ride to the Valley of Honor and find Belgrom Rockmaul, in front of the Warrior's Guild. Turn in [45]A Grim Discovery. Get his other quest: [53]Betrayed.

This should make you ding 52 or you should be close.


Level 52

Sell, repair, visit your class trainer, restock consumables (4 stacks of food/drink).

If you are planning to go to Searing Gorge (optional circuit, read more about that in a bit) buy 15 silk cloth if you don't have that on you already.

When you're ready to go again, fly to Ratchet. Take the boat to Booty Bay.

In Booty Bay turn in the [45]Deliver to MacKinley at "Sea Wolf" MacKinley (close to the inn) and all the Rescue OOX-22 quests you completed at Oglethorpe Obnoticus (2nd house to the right of the forge), if you completed any, that is.

If you completed all 3 rescues you get and extra quest [50]An OOX of your own. You'll get another of those useless pets and 10 200 exp as well! Which is why going through the pain of doing those 3 escort quests is in the end worth it.

You should have the following quests:

Note: Even if you don’t want to do the optional circuit, still get the Thorium Point flight pass, it will save you time in the future.

== OPTIONAL CIRCUIT ==

This circuit includes all the quests of Thorium Point and Searing Gorge, which I decided to make optional for the following reasons :

  1. Searing Gorge and Thorium Point quest objectives appear to be heavily camped since patch v2.3. I’m not sure if this is a temporary phenomenon, but the entire circuit wasn’t doable for me because of too many people trying to do the same quests at the same time (for 3 consecutive days). So if this is the case on your server as well, don’t worry, just skip this circuit.
  2. Experience wise, if you are at level 52 when you start this guide you don’t need the circuit (it’s already starting to get low level). However you might still want to do it for certain quest rewards and faction, the choice is up to you. If you do it however, you’ll have to skip quests elsewhere.
  3. An optional circuit can be a great thing for people who are only level 50/51 and who didn’t follow Jame’s Horde Leveling guide before. This way you have a platform to jump into the guide and to catch up experience wise without grinding.

The circuit :

In short (if you already know the way): Go to Searing Gorge.
In detail: Fly to Kargath, then go south/southwest and you will find the entrance to the Searing Gorge on the western end of the Badlands at (3,61).

Start of XP Circuit:

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, get the flight path.

Then find a "wanted poster" at (37,26). Right click it and get the quests:

  1. [48] JOB OPPORTUNITY: Culling the Competition
  2. [48] STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
  3. [50] WANTED: Overseer Maltorius (Elite)
Get the 3 quests from Hansel Heavyhands:
  1. [49] Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More like It.
  2. [49] Curse These Fat Fingers
  3. [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.

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!.

Start killing the Dark Iron dwarves in the camp as well as the golems around here. After you have killed 8 Dark Iron Gelologists and got 15 silk cloth (if you don't have them, kill more of those dwarves, they drop silk cloth), go back to the Wooden Outhouse and turn in the quest, don't get the follow up though.

3. Ride north 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 Hearts 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.

4. 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).

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 52 Elite elite 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 1 Dark Iron Sentry. Kill them and loot the Head of Overseer Maltorius.

Behind them you can find Secret Plans: Fiery Flux. Loot them.

From the same big room, go over the iron bridge which is on the opposite side of Overseer Maltorius. 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.

5. 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 Blazing Elementals until you get 4 Heart of Flame.

6. 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.

7. 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

8. 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.

9. Sell and repair, then go south to the big dwarven forge/wheel (39,50) and kill Dark Iron Steamsmiths again.

10. 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.

11. 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).

12. 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 spyglass you need for one of the quests.

13. 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

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

15. Go west to the Twilight Camp at (24,34). Now all that is left for you to do is kill Twilight mobs (any of them) until you get aSymbol of Ragnaros

16. When you got this item, you can go back to Kalaran Windblade. You can also go to Thorium Point for a quick sell/repair if necessary.

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 stick 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.

Search for a small bowl on the floor named "Sentry Brazier" and right-click it.

It will be instantly lit.

2. Do exactly the same thing on the 2nd tower (35,59).

3. Then the 3rd tower (43,63)

4. And the 4th tower, which is 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 what's 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.

Now there's only one thing 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. Once you have completed all these quests, go back to Thorium Point and turn them in.

== END OF OPTIONAL CIRCUIT ==

Red, Blue, Yellow and Green crystals. Loot them anytime you see them until you got 7 of each color. Also look for Ungoro Dirt Piles and loot the Un'goro soil from them. Un'goro soil also drops fairly often from most creatures in Un'goro crater, you should try to have at least about 50 Ungoro Soil before we leave Un'goro, because we will need extra soils for 2 other quests which will require you to transmuate Un'goro soils into Morrowgrain.**

**Kill every dinosaur you find on your way**

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.

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.

The cog will be grey at most parts of the Threshadon's Carcass. The only spot where you can get the yellow cog and loot the flesh is at the base of the neck, and only on the east side of the carcass. 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.

4. 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). 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. Go back to Torwa Pathfinder and turn in the quest, don't get the follow up. We'll come back later for it.

Go back to the area with the Ravasaurs and kill them until you complete the following objectives:

  1. [53] The Eastern Pylon
  2. [53] The Northern Pylon
  3. [53] The Western Pylon

End of XP Circuit:

Get out of the cave and get the new flight path.

Sell, repair, buy food/drink up to 4 stacks.

Start of XP Circuit:

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.

**From this point on, kill the following mobs on sight:

  1. Bloodpetals of any kind (those walking flowers)
  2. Pterrordaxes

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.**

6. Go east 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. Inside the ape cave at the first fork go right until you find A-Me 01, turn in the quest but don't get the follow up.

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.

7. Go south 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% per kill)

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

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

Go south to Torwa Pathfinder (71,75) and turn in [55] The Apes of Un'Goro, don't get the follow up.

10. Go west 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.

11. Go directly south of the bug lair and up the mountain (50,88). You should find 2 Pterrordax there, kill them.

13. Go northwest until you reach the big rock on the other side of the lake. Behind this rock you 'll find a little goblin named Krakle, get his quest quickly [55] Find the Source. (Quickly because a Devilsaur roams at this place every now and then. Sticking out tongue)

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 heal or damage shield, but nothing too great, so just bank the book to have more bagspace or destroy it).

It can be various herbs but sometimes it will be Morrowgrain, and that's what you need. You need 2 Ungoro Soil everytime you want to use the pouch, but you should still have about 20 left even after turning the quests.**

You will need a total of 10 Morrowgrain. Once you got 10 Morrowgrain you can stop using the Evergreen Pouch. I personally sold the seeds and the un'goro soil I had left after obtaining my 10 Morrowgrain, and also destroyed the Evergreen Pouch, because I like having bag space Sticking out tongue. Don't stand still and do nothing while waiting on the pouch timer though, go on with the next part of the guide!

OPTIONAL: 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 and buffs in return.

1. Get back on the road, ride to Jaedenar (40,57). in Jaedenar clear the way westwards until the corrupted moonwell you already went to before to fill up the vial. Enter the Shadow Hold (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 very hard to solo, if not impossible depending on your class and equipment. It also depends on how crowded the area is, if there's lots of people killing stuff in the shadow hold already, it's doable solo. Anyway, give it a try solo, but grouping for this one is just easier.

Clear the way down the first tunnel, in the first room you'll find a captured elf 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, 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. 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, then escort her out, things can get rough at times because she engages 2 or 3 lvl 55 mobs a the same time and is fragile until she has her equipment on. In the same room where her equipment is you'll find the 3rd and 4th Brazier, turn them off too. At the exit a 53 mob will attack you. This was an elite before, so now it is somewhat easier to do this quest, still it remains difficult for a single person.

Defeat it and then Arko'narin will leave and you'll get the quest complete message.

If you don't find anyone to group with and the escort quest is too difficult for you, just don't do it, clear your way inside the Shadow Hold and turn off the 4 braziers.

2. Clear the way out of Jaedenar, get back on the road and ride north then go west to Bloodvenom Post. Turn in [56]Wild Guardians and get the follow up [58]Wild Guardians.

3. Get back on the road and ride north until Irontree Woods.
Go 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 the crater.

4. In the same area, kill Irontree Stompers until one of them drops an Irontree Heart.

5. Go up the plateau east of Irontree Woods, where you will find plenty of bears and wolves. Kill them until you have 11 Silver Claws.

6. Get back on the road and ride to Winterspring.

1. In Winterspring ride southeast to Donova Snowden, turn in [55]The New Springs and get the follow up [56]Strange Sources. Turn in [56]Toxic Horrors and get the follow up [57]Winterfall Runners.

2. Get back on the road and ride east to Everlook.

**Should you find the Winterfall Runners on your way, make sure to kill them and loot the Winterfall Crate. However don't actually go out of your way to look for them, just kill them if you encounter them while following the next paragraphs**

In Everlook get the quest [58]Are We There, Yeti?. Sell, repair and restock food/drink (4 stacks)

3. Go east of Everlook to Winterfall Village (66,33), kill 8 Winterfall Shamans and 8 Winterfall Ursa there.

4. Go south of Winterfall Village, to Ice Thistle Hills, 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. Also make sure that you are level 57 by the time you get out of the cave.


Level 57

5. 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.

Sell junk and repair.

6. Get out of Everlook, follow the road southeast / south until you find Owl Wing Ticket (63,59), the entrance of it is marked by two broken pillars and an elf named Ranshalla standing infront of it. Go inside Owl Wing Ticket and kill 13 Moontouched Owlbeasts. (If no Moontouched Owlbeasts are around keep killing the other owlbeasts, they are placeholders for each other)

7. 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.

End of XP Circuit:

Hearthstone to Orgrimmar.
Sell, repair and restock consumables (4 stacks).

Start of XP Circuit (with optional steps):

Fly to Emerald Sanctuary, Felwood. Turn in:

  1. [55]Dousing the Flames of Protection, get the follow up. [58]A Final Blow
  2. [55]Rescue From Jaedenar (if you managed to do it), get the follow up. [57]Retribution of the Light.
  3. Turn in [54] Silver Heart, get the follow up [54]Aquementas.

Ride north and go to Jaedenar, clear the way and enter the Shadow Hold. Clear inside the hold further than where you went last time past the last two braziers, past the red pool with the Oozes. Just a bit further down a slope you should find a room with an altar in it's middle, 4 warlocks/darkweavers around it, performing a ritual, and Rakaiah infront.

You can pull Rakaiah solo, the 4 warlocks will be aggro on you but won't attack as long as you don't directly attack them. After you got rid of Rakaiah, you will 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 dispose of them.

Kill the 2 other mobs on each side of the room and the one in the back, then you can kill each of the 4 warlocks one by one. When the room is clear, click on the Remains of Trey Lightforge on the altar, complete the quest [57] Retribution of the Light, get the follow up [57] The Remains of Trey Lightforge.

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. Don't forget to loot the head of the Shadow Lord.

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.

Clear your way out of the Shadow Hold and out of Jaedenar, get back on the road and ride south to the Emerald Sanctuary, turn in the quests [57]The Remains of Trey Lightforge and [58]A Final Blow.

Fly to Bloodvenom Post. Turn in [58]Wild Guardians and get the follow up [59]Wild Guardians.

Fly to Everlook.
Sell, repair and restock food/drink (4 stacks).

Get on your mount and ride southeast/south along the road until Owl Wing Ticket. Kill Owlbeasts until you have 10 Berserk Owlbeast kills and have found a Blue-feathered Necklace off one of the owlbeasts. When you get the Blue-feathered necklace right-click it to get the quest [59]Guarding Secrets.

Ride back towards Everlook. Now we're gonna hunt for the Winterfall Runners, check the map below to see their route. I advise you start from Winterfall Village and follow the route westwards, to the Timbermaw Hold tunnel, until you find the Winterfall Runners.

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 crate. They all drop it.

Ride to the Timbermaw Hold tunnel entrance (27,34) and turn in the quest [58]Winterfall Activity.

Ride south/southeast to Donova Snowden and turn in [56]Strange Sources and [57]Winterfall Runners. 3 Winterfall Ambushers will spawn, just run away, they aren't worth killing, give no loot and only 70xp each. Once they vanish, go back to Donova and get the follow up [59] High Chief Winterfall.

Ride all the way east to the Winterfall Village at approximately (67,37).

High Chief Winterfall is now a non-elite and he can be found in the cave above the Winterfall Village, along with two guards. Save your long CD abilities and use crowd control if you have. 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, then ride back to Donova Snowden. Turn in both quests and get the follow up [59] Words of the High Chief.

Now you should be neutral with Timbermaw Hold, check your reputation tab to make sure. If you are not neutral, go kill furlbogs (either the ones of winterspring or the ones in Felwood, as you prefer).

Once you are neutral with Timbermaw Hold, go to their tunnel and find a furlbog named Kernda, deeper inside the northern tunnel of Timbermaw Hold (65,1). Turn in [55] Deadwood Ritual Totem and [56] Winterfall Ritual Totem.

Go north to Moonglade, get the flight path and fly to Everlook.
In the inn get the following 3 quests:

  1. [55]Sister Pamela
  2. [52]Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff
  3. [52]The Everlook Report

Fly to Bloodvenom Post, Felwood.
In Bloodvenom Post turn in [59]Wild Guardians and [59]Guarding Secrets, get the follow up [59]Guarding Secrets.

Fly to Emerald Sanctuary, turn in [59] Words of the High Chief.

Fly to Thunder Bluff, go see Nara Wildmane on the Elder Rise and turn in [59]Guarding Secrets.

End of XP Circuit:

You should be level 58 by now or close.


Level 58

(If you lack experience, there is an optional circuit coming up soon, so don’t grind)

OPTIONAL: So you are level 58 now, this means you could 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. So if you want to do this, here is what I recommend: open up my 60-65 horde guide, follow the guide until the end of the 2nd bombing mission. Then go to Falcon Watch, 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 Ogrimmar or Thunderbluff and get back to the guide.

Fly to Gadgetzan.
In Gadgetzan, 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.

**For those who did Sunken Temple, at Marshall's refuge turn in [52] Zapper Fuel, don't get the follow up.**

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 l
