Hello, and thank you for viewing this guide. I am Shinke, an Orc Death Knight on Fenris US PvE, although I'm very big on PvP.


1.The first place we'll go to is called Blackriver Logging Camp.
This zone is found at the island just east/northeast of Conquest Hold
(add pic later)

Blackriver Brawl

This one is simple, just kill 10 Alliance players or NPC's in the area. The Orcs will help if you need it.
Go back, turn in, get your money and/or 20k XP.

2. Now it's time to go down south to Venture Bay.
You can get here by going south out of Conquest Hold, taking the road West at the fork, then following it south at the next fork. The Horde camp is off to the west of the road a bit.This is the largest of the PVP hubs with a captureable area in the center (the lighthouse) that offers the daily quest Riding the Red Rocket if your faction controls the area. If you have control of the lighthouse you also get access to the Venture Coin rewards vendor. Here you can also do the daily PVP quests Smoke 'Em Out, Keep Them At Bay,and Crush Captain Brightwater!.There is also a non-daily PVP quest here - Seeking Solvent - that turns into a turn-in quest Always Seeking Solvent after you complete it.

These are pretty easy if you just look in your Quest Log. Captain Brightwater is a 74 elite but soloable by any class level 75+ if you don't pull adds.

3. Our final destination in this day, and in my opinion the easiest, is Blue Sky Logging Grounds
The quests here include Shred The Alliance, Making Repairs, Overwhelmed!, and Keep 'Em on Their Heels.
All you have to do is kill some Alliance noobs, heal some Horde friends, steal some shredders, and gather some materials.

After you do all of these quests (assuming you aren't 80 yet) You'll get 5 or 6 gold each, along with 20k XP each, for a total of nearly 200k XP. Thats not bad. Continue to do this every day while leveling to 80 as you get a good amount of Venture Coins That you can turn in on the controllable island at Venture Bay. Plus a lot of XP!

Thank you for taking your time to go through my guide, I promise to have more to come. =)

Completely rewrote Part 1

Submitted by Shinke on Fri, 2009-02-20 23:55.

Completely rewrote Part 1 and 2, will eventually get to rewriting Part 3, but seeing as there are already good guides out there covering this section, I don't think it's necessary for this guide to stay on the site.

Very nice Guide. Looks good

Very nice Guide. Looks good now. I've done a little bit pvp there, while i was questing there last weekend. Great Zone.

It would be great, if you could make a list with the rewards, that you can buy with the Venture Coins.

And I think it looks a little bit confusing, when the numbers in the map don't have the same size.

Yeah, he's right, you should

Yeah, he's right, you should use the same font size for every number Smiling

Also, in the last image, some numbers have shadow, and some don't.
Choose between one of them, shadow or no shadow Sticking out tongue

Otherwise it looks confusing, just like the other font sizes.

I'm not exactly sure what

Submitted by Shinke on Sat, 2008-12-13 01:35.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by shadow..... but I'll get a list of rewards for venture coins.... and I'll try fixing the font but as stupid as I am with photo editors it may be impossible. Sticking out tongue
Anyways thanks for commenting.

What program are you using,

Submitted by Shikamaru on Sat, 2008-12-13 10:19.

What program are you using, maybe I can help Smiling

And about the shadow:

There's a light red shadow behind the first, seconds and fourth number (1, 1, 3).
Could be something that just happens when editing, though.

Updates

Submitted by Shinke on Thu, 2008-12-11 00:50.

I spaced out the guide, added lots more details and clear, readable steps. Added a pic, the Venture Bay one, it's temporary as obviously it's pretty bad. I'll have a new one in that place in a couple days. Took out the stuff at the bottom of the page, let's see what else.... oh yeah! Put some more links in certain steps. Besides the Venture Bay pic I'm not sure what else to change.. Plz comment and let me know! Smiling
Also I'm definitely looking into making new, better guides for all things...Any tips you have are appreciated!

It's already much

Submitted by Jame on Thu, 2008-12-11 13:02.

It's already much better.

But holy smokes, that map is hideous, it gave me a good chuckle Eye

You are using MSPaint I assume?

If yes, then I suggest you use the "Text" tool to write your numbers. You can change the color and the size, and it will look much better than the manually drawn numbers Smiling

But for making good maps with a nice quality, I recommend using a more advanced picture editing programm, there are good free ones out there, like GIMP.

Okay

I'll get that right now, appreciate the comment(s). Thanks! Smiling

It's much much better. Keep

Submitted by Jame on Thu, 2008-12-11 20:42.

It's much much better. Keep it up!

Suggestion:

Use a bigger size and a different color for the title of each big part.

Like this:

Part 1: Blackriver Logging Camp

Here is the code (just remove the spaces):

[ size=17][ color=#3366ff][ b]Part 1: Blackriver Logging Camp[ /b][ /color][ /size]

Haha.

Got the hideous map outta there, and changed the first map a tad. If this is confusing to anyone I'll put a walking path on the first map but otherwise I think I did a pretty good job. Sticking out tongue
Enjoy the guide!

Maps look wasy better, keep

Submitted by Shikamaru on Thu, 2008-12-11 21:59.

Maps look way better, keep up the good work! Smiling

Although, the numbers in the maps are a bit hard to read, I'd pick a more flashy color, like yellow Smiling

People won't have to focus their eyes and search for the numbers that way.

Not bad for a first

Submitted by Jame on Wed, 2008-12-10 10:26.

Not bad for a first guide!

Suggestions to improve it:

  • For the Venture Bay area, a map showing the location of the quest objectives would help. You can check the map I made in my grizzly hills guide for the same area, to give you an idea.
  • Also to make it easier to read, you should split each steps in different parts. So that people just have to read one or two lines maximum and they can start following your directions, and then when they are done with the first direction you gave them, they can read the next line. You can also take example of my descriptions in my grizzly hills guide for the venture bay area.
  • Be more precise with your descriptions of what you need to do. For example when you say "heal some Horde friends" for the Blue Sky Logging Grounds quest. You should say: Use the Renewing Tourniquet on Wounded Skirmishers.

Keep it up!

Also, When you're at file

Submitted by Shikamaru on Wed, 2008-12-10 18:56.

Also,

When you're at file attachements, you could un-check ''list'' for all pictures.

This way you won't have a list of all pictures underneath your guide Smiling.

Other than that, looks great! Smiling
