Human Levelling Guide (Part 1 of about 10)

Introduction

This is my first attempt at a guide so any feedback would be appreciated. I have seen several guides out there for levelling humans. Most of them make you spend a lot of time grinding because, of all the starting areas, the human area is the most poorly designed.

I am levelling a Priest during this guide as if a Priest can solo it then any other class should also be able to do so. I only kill as many of each mob as needed to complete any quest. If any grinding is needed I will tell you exactly what exp total to grind to. I hate grinding so there will be as little as possible.

This is part one of the guide and takes you from your first approach to the Alliance up to the lofty heights of level 10.

General Tips and information

1. Any Defias in Elwynn Forest can drop Westfall Deed; if you get this take the quest.
2. Any Gnoll can drop Gold Pickup Schedule ; again take the quest if you get it.
3. Buy the best food and water you can use. This will greatly minimise your downtime
4. Get First Aid as soon as you can afford it.
5. Cooking and Fishing go hand in hand and can be quickly trained in Goldshire.
6. Use the biggest bags you can get.
7. I do not include any professions in the guide. Get what you want.
8. Before going on a run ensure you have sold everything in your bags that you will not be using.
9. Always log out in an Inn or city. This will greatly enhance your exp bonus when coming back online.
