This covers the updated human starting zone.

This guide is based on a play through of the Human starting zone in the Cataclysm Beta. There may be minor differences by the time Cataclysm goes live. I will correct these as soon as possible.

Please post and feedback, errors, or suggestions as comments.

    I think Arixan abandonedI think Arixan abandoned this guide since another user made a more complete guide to the human starter zone, and Arixan is focusing on the higher level zone – he originally just made this one to practice.

    I’m moving this to work in progress mode since it’s now out of date. Arixan, feel free to re-publish if you plan to update it. 🙂

    Hi, just doing a few minorHi, just doing a few minor spell checks 😛

    Wow, what a boring zone, where’s my go-kart?

    An [color=#ff0000]*[/color] just means add a space. Blue writing is missing words or punctuation or capitalisation (basically corrections)and removed words are an [color=#26c426]*[/color]

    [list]

    [*]on the steps of the [color=#33ccff]abbey[/color]

    [*] Eagan Pelskinner is located on the west side of the [color=#33ccff]abbey[/color]

    [*]Get the quest [4] [color=#33ccff]Blackrock Invasion[/color]

    Loose square bracket.

    [*] Kill any orcs you see for [4] [color=#33ccff]Blackrock Invasion[/color]

    Same issue

    [*]Turn in [4] [color=#33ccff]Blackrock Invasion[/color] at Deputy Willem.

    And again

    [*] Head to [color=#33ccff]your[/color] class trainer, which will be located in or around the
    [color=#33ccff]abbey[/color]

    [*]then follow the road from the [color=#33ccff]abbey[/color]

    [/list]

    Not too bad 😛

    Thanks!Yeah, I had thought they would have changed it around more too. Still, even though the quest flow is basically the same, there are a lot of little flavor things in the quest texts and the random NPC dialog that add to an overall different feel. It is just kinda hard to illustrate that in a guide.

    For example, when you first load in, right before you accept the first quest from Marshal McBride, there is a mini RP-like event where you are basically “voluteered” to help out by Varian Wrynn.

    The guide looks really niceThe guide looks really nice so far 🙂

    I am kinda disappointed that they didn’t change the human starting quests more. They basically just altered the defias quests into orc-killing, but you are essentially doing the same thing 🙁

    Oh well.
