WoW Classic Alliance Questing Route

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This route is meant to be used in combination with Questie or ClassicCodex. It's meant to be as fast as possible while still getting as much Darnassus rep as possible to save money on runecloth for a cat mount at 60. It's assumed you're picking up essentially all quests at each point and will specify if there's something you shouldn't accept or should abandon. There are additional notes for Priests and Mages because those are the classes I play the most but it can be used by any class.

There have been significant adjustments since Classic due to pserver differences, namely the fact that 2 crucial questgiving NPC's in Ashenvale are on the complete opposite end of the zone (Howling Vale questline).

If you don't give a shit about Darn rep and just want to level as fast as possible the major changes are
1 - Don't go to Teldrassil at start, just use your own race's starting zone
2 - Skip all of Ashenvale East. Basically just get Howling Vale and your furbolg rod and then gtfo
3 - Do a few more EK quests. Especially the early Darkshire ones and all the Wetlands chains.

UPDATE: have improved route significantly since classic launch, will keep working on it and clean this up when it's finished

LEVELLING ZONE ORDER/NOTES/GUIDETHINGY
--------------------------------------
Zone - Minlevel (Reclevel)

do the first 2-3 quests in starting zone
<Run to Teldrassil via Dun Morogh corse skip>
- three delivery quests in Stormwind (Wine Shop Advert, Harland Needs a Resupply and Package for Thurman) done en route
DO NOT FORGET TO TAG SW, IF, Menethil flights on the way out! (humans dont need to tag SW, etc)
at menethil graveyard, exit water - murlocs can spawn close on landside

Teldrassil (1)
---------------
Cooking: Small Spider Leg (7)
hearth darnassus (unless mage/lock)
do both boar/cat kill quests before doing grells (stack it with iverron)
western grell camp area has 5-6+ mushroom spawns (the one further from dolanaar entrance)
be 6 by arriving at dolanaar, don't forget to learn cooking for the spider cooking quest
-
at 8, do barrow den, then spirit res to dolanaar for turnins (careful with this, can easily wind up darn and you NEED to turnin first for Ursal quest) then hearth darn, then do south, dolanaar, then finally north
buy staff training @ darn if you have at least 10s
go darnassus 2nd time (3 turn ins, be 10)
last part is return to the lake/oakenscowl, then done (hearth darn again)
Nessa Shadowsong quest from Darnassus leads to Auberdine is NE only
try to be 12 by leaving teldrassil for training - grind/skin the cats SW of darn
if herbalism, remember to train up to 150 cap before leaving (darkshore requires 70)

Elwynn (1)
---------------
dropped quest from bandits southern elwynn
don't go to SW until 10 (desperate prayer)
for lesser magic wand, 30 tailoring for green items = 60 linen total
do not make ANY items until the brown linen robe - before that use bolts for skillups

Darkshore I - 11 (12) | H: 50 | S: 40
---------------
UPDATE: try to route darkshore south to use barrens suicide to go to westfall. this means doing basically all of darkshore in 1 shot, which means having to add another quest or two (cooking quest for striders? therefore need to do some cooking in teldrassil?)

Hearth: Darnassus (or IF if playing a class that can't train in Darn)
Fishing: Darkshore Grouper (6)
Keep: Bear Meat (3), Murloc Eye (3), Murloc Fin (?)
(not darn rep anyways) - unless you can buy it from AH beforehand
first do stuff immediately south (including discover furbies), 1st buzzbox/remains quests
do 2nd buzzbox and thresher eyes before going to bashal'aran
then while doing cliffspring river also get rabid thistle bear kills and moonstalker fangs in area -> buzzbox 3
cave mushrooms must be done on this pass or south quests don't line up. althalaxx can be done now or later
finish moonstalker fangs as well as 20 thistle bear kills
at 14 after finishing north up to cliffspring and Althalaxx hearth to darnassus to train, then set hearth auberdine
(if playing a class that can't train in darn then hearth to IF to train. if possible, delay training until darkshore is finished or get 14 via Loch Modan early quests before coming darkshore)
pick up Trouble in Darkshore while @ darn (can be skipped if playing class that can't train at darn)
-
head south to onu, make a U shaped loop through ameth'aran (down road, back up the coast)
(don't do the stuff that's actually south of onu yet, it'll be too high anyways)
don't forget to get water at moonwell and do crystal on the way south
can do last buzzbox step if at least 15
note on Volcor/Lost Master chain: last part only routes well if it's done now but it's a huge pain (scarce spawns and shit droprate until you're in far north - try to get it done at this point but don't waste too much time. dont abandon pelts if incomplete)
do Fruit of the Sea on the way up
head east, turn in Bashal'Aran before leaving, do Blackwood Corrupted and Den Mother as well (try to get duo for Den Mother)
do Althalaxx at this point if it wasn't done earlier, then hearth Auberdine
don't forget to raise gathering skill caps by 16, they need to be 50+ at this point

Loch Modan I - 12 (12) - OPTIONAL
----------------
only go if not at least ~14.5, keep bear meat from darkshore if going
do the 12'sh quests in SW, NW, and one from thelsamar, don't bother with honor students

Westfall - 14 (15) | H: 70
---------------
Hearth: SW
Cooking: Murloc Eye (3), Goretusk Snout (3); Goretusk Liver (8), Stringy Vulture Meat (3)
Keep: Flask of Oil (5), Hops (5)
Pointers: Humble Beginnings (SW cathedral)
note: People's Militia is NOT required for deadmines quest, the runaround one is
Keep 5 Flasks of Oil for the lighthouse quest, do Murk-Eye if he's easily found, skip the last one unless low level
-
Defias Brotherhood will lead to Redridge. People's Militia highwayman step can be done later.
grab Elmore's Task from Goldshire when running to redridge. do necklace, lost tools
(if Elwynn was done instead of Teldrassil and you have FP then get Elmore's when turning in SW quests)
can do south gnolls if underlevelled otherwise skip b/c spawns suck and it's not chain
grab dry times, price of shoes, messenger to SW, then hearth SW turn in 3 quests.
-
head back westfall, need the 5 hops for thunderbrew lager when doing highwaymen
do lighthouse, skip Coast isn't Clear
finish DM prereqs, fly back lakeshire, get darkshire flight point, finish dry times
doing messenger past first part is awwkard, abandon it if it's not lining up
look for deadmines group while doing loch modan (keep hearth in SW until deadmines is done)

<Deadmines around level 20, 5 quests. 3 from SW, 2 from westfall chains (one is from the quest that has you run to RR and DS)>
when turning in deadmines SW quests, pick up SW Pointers to Stonetalon, BFD (Mage & Park Districts)

Loch Modan II - 16 (17)
---------------
Hearth: IF (keep SW if deadmines not finished yet)
Pointers: Find Bingles (IF), Elmore's Task (Goldshire) - grab elmore's when running to redridge
Cooking: Boar Intestines (3), Bear Meat (3), Spider Ichor (3)
if Loch Modan I was skipped take southern route (non-Pilot) in Dun Morogh and skip low level quests in SW loch
if 17 then Rat Catching is too low, can still do Filthy Paws if fast. if 18 then skip both and just go east side
excavation is rougher than the rest, do it last if underlevelled
don't try to stack crocs and boars, even on empty server timer too short (unless hunter maybe). boars 1st croc 2nd.
note: southernmost island seems to have crazy fast croc respawn
after crocs bingles island don't turnin yet - head to thelsamar, turn in
-
elite quests are nice if you can get a group but don't waste time if you can't
Report to Ironforge (and escort quest line) is awkward and should be skipped unless very low level
skip last half of Dark Threat Looms (report to wetlands), skip Stonegear's Search
note: Need to do Report to Mountaineer Rockgar and Algaz Gauntlet to unlock the Nek'rosh wetlands chain
so overall 2nd loop pattern should be out from thelsamar, sooty, turnins at lodge, ogres (optional), dam quest, Algaz, hearth

Darkshore II - 18 (20)
-------------
UPDATE: this section being removed? in Darkshore I you go south and do as much as possible ending with Kerlonian's escort and barrens suicide to westfall. then in Ashenvale West when going north to darkshore you finish whatever you couldn't first time around. hearth to ASTRANAAR, you don't touch auberdine until BFD sends you to darn and you fly back
NOTE: this means Gyromast's quest is basically fucked. ALSO FUCKS MATHYSTRA AND VOLCOR ACTUALLY goddamn it
can still maybe do Gyromast's after BFD darn turnins? fly from darn to auberdine, run north do them, hearth astranaar?

Hearth: Auberdine if planning on doing Gyromast's in Darkshore North, otherwises leave it in IF
Gyromast's Note: hugely out of the way but gives 5 Underwater Breathing Potions, more important on fresh starts
go south to Onu area first, finish everything in south darkshore and then take ashenvale escort
if still on pelt step for Volcor and droprate is shit then just skip it, chain is shit for good routing
Absent Minded Prospector is rough solo but doable at 20 (mobs aren't hard but guy can die really fast), leads to chain so shouldn't be skipped
quest starter item: Book: The Powers Below can drop from master's glaive mobs but droprate is absolute shit, don't waste too much time on it
do kerlonian escort after finishing all southern quests, turn in Therylune's on the way to astranaar
note: escort last parts can be a bit rough, try to be 20 by this point
don't pick up Bathran's Hair or other astranaar quests, will be back in area later
fly Auberdine (don't hearth) do turnins, then either go north or hearth EK depending on Gyromast's choice
-
Gyromast's:
go north, do den mother and Althalaxx if they weren't done first pass. finish pelts
Gyromast's is difficult but soloable at 20
hearth auberdine and turnin pelts, don't take last part of Volcor. Mathystra turnin won't happen until West Ashenvale
-
hearth back to IF or take the boat back depending on Gyromast choice and fly to SW for training/pointers
abandon last part of Volcor, will have another chance later
don't go to Darn for Absent Minded Prospector turnin, will be back later for BFD quests (unless 20 mage for grabbing TP)

Redridge - 20 (23) | H: 100
---------------
Hearth: SW
Pointer: Speaking of Fortitude (Brother Paxton) from SW.
BUY: Rethban Ore from AH if server is developed (5)
Cooking: Great Goretusk Snout (5), Tough Condor Meat (5), Crisp Spider Meat (5) - only do this quest if you can buy the stuff
note: Deadmines NEEDS to be done by the time you finish RR otherwise you'll be too high level post-Stonetalon
head out of SW to Northshire and swing by Tower of Azora on way to RR for A Watchful Eye.
note: these 2 quests can be skipped if overlevelled (24+?). Price of Shoes must be done tho (should be done already)
start with murloc quests. skip Assessing the Threat unless underlevelled (goes grey at 21)
try to do Underbelly Scales while doing gnoll quests, otherwise skip. spawns are scarce
champions is needed for Shadow Magic unfortunately and is very rough if you're ~22'sh and completely solo, get duo.
Keeshan is annoying as fuck, very long. don't try it solo, really need duo.
-
east side quests - can come back and do these pre-duskwood if groups are unavailable
Fangore is SHADOW IMMUNE - warlock/priest beware
2nd tower of Azora is soloable w/1 corpse run (2 elites that need to be cc'd while clicking something)
Morganth starts at lion after Azora. good shoulders but impossible solo or to get group for. come back later (30+) or skip it.
L26 mage quest also has you go to Morganth's tower. do these both at 30+
-

Duskwood I - 21 (22)
-------------------
BUY: Bronze Tube (1)
Cooking: Gooey Spider Leg (6)
Must do The Night Watch and Looking Glass first steps. Glass can be postponed if Bronze Tube unavailable on fresh server
if underlevelled, do Raven Hill and head there on road picking up Eight-Legged Menaces en route. get wolf quest from sven, complete them while heading back along the northern edge.
-
fly to westfall to turn in, then hearth

note: don't forget the SW mage district pointer for Stonetalon before leaving for kalimdor!
ideally 24 for ashenvale west, 25 stonetalon, 26 after BFD and ashenvale east, then wetlands before you hit 27
if substantially below 24 maybe do low level duskwood quests (spiders and wolves) before going kalimdor?
if somehow 25 before going kalimdor (very unlikely), grab Noble Brew from SW as well

Wetlands I - 22 (23)
-----------
Hearth: Menethil
do Young Crocolisk Skins, Claws from the Deep chain, Greenwarden chain and Daily Delivery en route
Note: Only do these quests if under 24. Otherwise do Young Crocolisk Skins only then go straight to Ashenvale
the closer you are to 24, the less you should do. do greenwarden stuff (skip murlocs past first part) if you're just barely 23. if 22, do everything.

Ashenvale I (Western) - 24 (24.3) | H: 125
---------------
UPDATE: definitely hearth astranaar because even if you do volcar/mathystra you can turn in volcor post-BFD on the way back to EK via auberdine

Hearth: Auberdine
Ashenvale Pointers (BFD): Darnassus x2, Auberdine, IF (DO NOT FORGET THE IF ONE!). Get Volcor in Auberdine as well
Stonetalon Pointers: SW Mage District (Retrieval for Mauren), Astranaar
don't forget to turn in Prospector chain @ Darnassus when getting BFD quests
fly astranaar, grab everything, go maestra's, grab everything, coast first, then inland, then north
zoram strand (west coast) dominated by horde b/c nearby town so skip if it's too contested
do statue, turnin, do ruuzel, don't worry about heads they come fast
Glowing Soul Gem for Althalaxx is really bad drop rate. if you don't get it after 2 clears (do hairs while it respawns) abandon chain
-
north to darkshore for Volcor (Stealth is faster) and Mathystra turnin. Do Absent Minded Prospector now as well
hearth auberdine, turnin volcor, grab Trek to Ashenvale (need to wait for event), fly astranaar, set hearth astranaar
turnin quests at astranaar and maestra, do Althalaxx, turn it in again, Dal Bloodclaw if not done already
Supplies to Auberdine (after althalaxx part 4) is insane. Feero dies crazy quickly and it's out of the way. Failed solo twice when grey as 32 frost mage! last part includes 2 casters. Hard SKIP.
-
MUST be 25 at this point. grab Howling Vale @ Shrine of Aessina
do Raene's + Howling in north, hearth astranaar, turnin Howling and Raene's and keep looking for BFD groups
progress Raene's until you get the transformation rod, then immediately abandon to keep the rod forever
note: important that Howling Vale is done before BFD because BFD has free port to Darn at end and Vale goes there too
do elune's tear and turn it in, then ruins of stardust, aggressive defense, elemental bracers -> talondeep path

Stonetalon - 24 (25)
------------------
Pointers: SW Mage District, Astranaar (make sure you get Pridewings quest). Journey to Stonetalon will be grey but it's free
kind of an awkward zone, mostly just running to peak then desolace fligth path and doing quests en route. can skip quests if overlevelled
skip gerenzo's orders, grab/do the ones around kaela. keep the follow quests that send you to IF/SW/Barrens (for now)
On Guard in Stonetalon leads to a VERY long and travel-heavy questline (3rd longest in game after AQ scepter and onyxia attunements?), but is a huge amount of darn rep. less cancer (but still very cancer) if mage, all other classes should skip unless you're taking scenic route
note: the Devils in Westfall step of the On Guard chain is ABSOLUTE FUCKING ASS and can easily take an hour to complete with no nearby grinding, honestly only worth doing it if bored and in no rush even as a mage
-
after finishing quests head to nijel's, fly to stonetalon peak then astranaar for turnins

<Blackfathom Deeps around ~25. 2 quests from Darn, 1 from IF, 1 Auberdine> MUST BE DONE BY 30 for rep!
note: when picking up BFD quests, gnomeregan pointer in darn does NOT give darn rep
in BFD, be on the ball picking up twlight pendants from "partially looted" bodies - if everyone in group has quest there will NOT be enough
when turning in BFD quests, line up the Darnassus turnins with the Scythe (Velinde) questline since BFD tp's to Darn
(Should have 3 quests to turn in at Darn post-BFD if done properly - Howling, Prospector, and the main BFD quest)

Ashenvale II (East) - 26 (26)
---------------------------
grab Vile Satyr! at Shrine of Aessina (req 26)
head north as if going to felwood, but then cut into Night Run from the northwest (there's a path) toward the Althalaxx objective, keep heading east and do the other quests along the northern side towards Forest Song. dryad is rough at 26 (mob is 32) but doable solo for classes that can heal (he doesn't hit hard). mages probably have to skip.
pick up azshara fp. then do southern quests including Fallen Sky Lake, Mage Summoner on the way to Ratchet, get flight path.
note: for Forsaken Diseases the Ashenvale Outrunners nearby will help you kill the forsaken if they're close enough
hearth astranaar, turn in ALL quests in surrounding area. BFD must be done by now and Howling Vale line progressed up through Ratchet
-
abandon Althalaxx (lots of darn rep but can't really solo until 30+ and impossible to get group for).
abandon Further Instructions (part of the On Guard mega-chain. also lots of rep but too much travel for non-mage)
abandon Satyr Slaying! no way to route the turnin efficiently unless you need a long AFK break, plus droprate is kinda shit (~25%)
abandon Insane Druids unless underlevelled (should be 27 by now)
-
fly azshara, turn in diseases @ forest song. fly back to ratchet. boat to booty bay. don't bother with BB quests for STV, just do elune.
fly SW and grab A Noble Brew. dont bother w/Diplomat yet. abandon Devils in Westfall. grab Tinkmaster Overspark for a bit of free xp.
fly IF. abandon Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun. don't forget to train gathering caps to 225 (they should be 150+ by now)
fly Menethil

Wetlands II - 26 (27) | S: 125 (125)
------------------
Hearth: Menethil
Pointers: Absent-Minded Prospector chain from darkshore, Noble Brew from SW mage quarter (2x exp, very worth, req 25)
don't forget to do first part of Third Fleet immediately
Sundown Marsh check Fradd Swiftgear for a Bronze Tube for Darkshire! grab Azure Silk Glove pattern dwarf downstairs
note: banners can only be done if Algaz Gauntlet was done after finishing Loch Modan. awkward to route?
-
note: Absent-Minded Prospector may be grey at this point (the 20 quest) but you need to still have it for the chains
go straight to excavation, do raptors outide first, then finish excavation, turnin at menethil, then Cursed Crew, Giant Croc Skins
skip Sida's Bag unless fresh server and underlevelled (maybe kill a few en route to other quests and see if you get lucky). droprate sucks.
-
try to get group for elite dwarf quests, one leads to stockades. Warlock/Priest warning: Balgaras is shadow immune
IMPORTANT: When doing Thandol Span quest (the last part where you cross the bridge) jump off and get Sully Balloo's letter in water
if doing Kam Deepfury quest, then don't bother running to Arathi until after Stockades (will have to turn it in)
head south and grab the thing for Noble Brew then hearth to menethil, turnin and fly SW to grab a Bronze Tube if you dont have one already

<Stockades - 30 at latest or mobs start going grey. 1 quest VC drop, 1 @ stockades, 1 old town SW, 1 Darkshire, 1 Lakeshire, 1 Wetlands, (elite dwarves)>
<Stockades around ~25. 1 quest from Deadmines chain, 1 from Old Town SW, rest @ stockades. skip the wetlands one>
turnins can be sorta synced up with Missing Diplomat starting steps a bit, but Diplomat must be started before Duskwood
Mage: Do Morganth/Ilyagar mage quest at this point (after turning in stockades quest in RR)

Duskwood II - 27 (28)
------------------
Hearth: Darkshire
Item: Bronze Tube (if done done in Duskwood I)
Dropped Quest: Old History Book (random in zone) - leads to Southshore
Pointer: *Missing Diplomat (SW Cathedral, req 28)
zone is done in 5 tight fast "loops" - must be done this way for proper quest stacking!
note: if Duskwood I was done properly then 1st pass is already complete and you basically start on 2nd pass
-
1st pass:
fly to sentinel hill, get sven's quest, (SKIP SKELETONS AND GHOULS!), don't worry about completing Totem now, just do some spooders
head south back town doing what you can on the way to cemetery (skip Diplomat and Looking Glass in SW for now), do sven's and worgen
-
2nd pass:
do Ghost Hair Thread and Return the Comb, and 2nd worgen quest
then fly Westfall, do Stalvan step in Moonbrook before heading back to the cemetery
turnins at sven and abercrombie, then hearth to darkshire for turnins
-
3rd pass:
now finally do skeletons (should have night watch and rot blossoms for them)
progress all non-ghoul quests, especially sven's
head back by going north this time and swing by Goldshire for Stalvan, then run to SW for next part
fly redridge for next stalvan step in east elwynn, then head south to darkshire
-
4th pass
fly back sentinel again, finally do ghouls (should be 3 quests for them - night watch, ghoul ribs, ghoul fangs)
hearth when everything is done in this area (if it's up, otherwise fly back)
-
5th pass
should have 2 ogre quests, do them and diplomat, turn in ogre quest @ abercrombie before hearthing or flying back to town
when back at darkshire, finally do Stalvan and Noble Brew as well as last worgen quest + Scythe
-
Need to be 30 minimum by this point (really should be 31), grind or do dungeons until 31 if not
go SW for remaining turnins, don't forget to pick up James Hyal (req 30). also grab Perenolde Tiara
if gnomer isn't done yet consider leaving hearth in SW until it is done since there's a turnin there
otherwise you'll have to wait until after Shimmering Flats to turn in (and it takes 2x inventory spaces)
make sure you pick up all pointers and mats for next THREE zones (Southshore, Dustwallow, 1KN) especially if you're barely over 32 and therefore won't be needing to train for a long time

<Gnomeregan - 35 at latest? (1 quest SW, 5 IF. 2 more in instance so make sure log has room)
note: if you can get the Grim-Encrused Ring, that + Robe quest reward are actually very good for the level
ring quest upgrade requires 1 moss agate, 1 silver bar
note: Gnogaine is right outside the instance, get there before group, do it, turn in, 2nd part is in instance

Southshore / Alterac South - 30 (32)
------------------
UPDATE: try to route northfold manor (and maybe hints of a new plague 1st part) after finishing southshore somehow? then arathi can be delayed another 2 levels or so

Hearth: Southshore
Pointers: Malin's Request (SW, to Arathi en route), Southshore (Old History Book drop from Duskwood)
BUY: Hillman's Cloak, Bolt of Woolen Cloth, Fine Thread (thread can be bought from Micha in SS)
BUY: Swiftness Potion x1 if it's not too expensive, not mandatory
fly Menethil, run to Arathi FP (turnin Kam Deepfury en route), run to Southshore. dont take any arathi quests
if you have swiftness, do the jump on the thandol span for the hidden quest (southshore delivery)
SKIP Soothing Turtle Bisque for now (Turtle Meat x10), we'll get it done later
-
HIDDEN QUEST: After accepting Syndicate Assasins, look around town for stealthed Shadowy Assasins. They spawn every few mins near where you are after accepting the quest as long as you are in Southshore proper.
May also be triggered by turning in Foreboding Plans?
-
take all quests in southshore but the ones for the elite ogres (keep knucklebones, preserving)
do murloc chain first, then head up river if you need turtles, otherwise straight to yeti then headland stuff
yetis can also be done in the north if the cave is camped. same with hulking cats to the east.
don't miss the papers on the eastern headland plateau, wont be marked by questie and one leads to alterac chain
note: there is another syndicate camp east of the one with the documents if the main one is camped
Valik quest is Horde only although it shows up on Alliance questie
-
do Knucklebones but don't bother with Preserving Knowledge
abandon Noble Deaths, skip Hints of a New Plague for now
-
when done with Hillsbrad head east to Arathi to Northfold manor and complete it. hearth ss, turnin, fly arathi turnin northfold (skip followup)
must be 32 by this point. grind or dungeons if not. Priest really wants to be 34 for new ranks before shimmering
-

Dustwallow I - 32 (34)
------------------
Hearth: IF (or Menethil if you didn't have to train)
DW Pointers: James Hyal (SW Mage), Diplomat line, Morgan Stern (SW Mage, req 33). 2x Mage class quests (Journey/Return to the Marsh)
(it's fine if you can't get Morgan Stern right now, will have another chance later. Must be 32 for inn quests tho)
BUY: 3x Soothing Spices (skip the Moonsteel Broadsword followup to that quest). Can buy from Helenia in south part of Theramore
need to get 1kN/shimmering pointers as well before coming here (IF especially)
-
1st Dustwallow Pass is just a run-through - do spices, ogre mound, diplomat and get inn quests otherwise stick to road and head thalanaar then shimmering
Pick up Smiling Jim before talking to Vines for a wee bit of extra xp (turning in Hyal prevents this quest)
Skip Mudrock Soup, Jarl Needs Eyes
pick up Hungry! and dont fucking abandon it even if space is tight (saves a lot of running later)
swimming to Tabetha if mage is NOT advised on 1st pass - mobs are way too high. follow the road south past barrens then head straight east.
NEED to be 32 to get the burned down inn quests right before entering barrens
Inn stuff - badge (on plank left side of house), shield, hoofprint (~10 ft to the left of the inn when 10 ft from front door)

Thousand Needles / Shimmering Flats - 32 (34)
-------------------
1KN Pointers: Highperch Venom (Theramore)
SF Pointers: Brassbolts Brothers (IF military ward). Mages: level 30 mage quest
don't forget Lonebrow's Journal @ base of Great Lift, turn it in FIRST @ thalanaar (other quest has scripted bullshit)
Charred Vale turnin @ Thalanaar from Stonetalon goes grey at 35 so try to do the run before then
-
Vultures (Load Lightening) are PRIORITY! only concentrated spawn is east side, with few scattered throughout zone. highly contested.
just keep doing small loops around east flats, don't zig-zag much - that way can frequently check the east vulture spawn - 5 min respawn
turtle shells have low drop rate, start on them early. also northern basilisks (the regular ones) are rarer
Complete SF quests before going to gadget, theramore, ratchet. abandon The Deserters for now, abandon Martek the Exiled
when turning in theramore quests, turn in shield first
-
Take boat to BB, get all quests for north/mid Vietnam. (everything but Scaring Shaky, Zanzil's Secret, Captain's Chest)
Set Hearth in Booty Bay, fly to SW
should have ~4 turnins in SW (Blessed Arm, Reassignment, Return to Milton, Cleansing the Eye)

Vietnam I (North) - 33 (35) | H: 185
-----------------
Hearth: Booty Bay
BUY: Lesser Bloodstone Ore (won't be available super-early), Elixir of Water Breathing (5x from optional Darkshore quests)
pages: 1, 4, 6, 8; 10, 11, 14, 16; 18, 20, 21, 24; 25, 26, 27
Pointer: Shimmering Flats, Booty Bay (multiple each)
DONT FORGET TO RAISE GATHERING CAPS BEFORE HEADING HERE!
Skip Meal Served Cold for now (done in Vietnam II)
-
fly to westfall, head to darkshire and do elite quests if possible, then head south to the rebel camp
-
HARD TO ACQUIRE QUESTLINE: Thorsen at the Rebel Camp leaves every hour on patrol, is ambushed 2 mins later. If you save him starts a 6 part chain worth 10k xp but you need to acquire the chain before you kill Kurzen for proper routing.
Time is different on each server. Atiesh: x:27 |
-
for troll legends, when going into Zul'Kunda there's a spot at roughly 26,8 where you can jump onto the wall then walk the narrow ledge above the water straight to one. then go back out same way and go around back to the other one in that area.
for singing crystal shards, get the ones by the coast (near the water elemental island) - highest drop rate
only do Encrusted Tail Fins if you have a duo (trio is bad not enough spawns), otherwise save it for Vietnam II or abandon it
generally doing everything in the north in a few small loops until Jungle Stalker quest.
note: Jungle Stalkers will be rough at 36 (avoid the 41's) but it hugely helps with routing if done at this point. if under 36 skip until Vietnam II
hearth to BB (should be ~7 turnins) then fly Westfall
-
run back down to nesingwary/rebel camps, turn in ~5 quests. nesingwary quests should be done at this point up to tethis or bangalash
note: bhag can spawn either north or south of road that leads to ogre mound
do 2nd croc quest and water elemental bracers.
bonus points if you can get tethis done now as well, but will not be possible to solo at 36 (43 elite)
(UPDATE: moving tethis and crocs to Vietnam III? so just turn in quests do bracers, maybe drown/spirit res then head westfall fly back?)
keep tethis or bangalash but skip it for now.
run back to darkshire, turnin Daughter's Love, go westfall and fly SW, pick up Brother Anton and Perenolde Tiara. fly IF
note: Need to keep all STV quests that originate in the northern camps. Abandon the ones that start in Booty Bay (except crocs and haunted island chain). Keep Singing Blue Crystals (Venture Company Mining)?

Desolace - 36 (37)
------------------
IMPORTANT: MUST BE HERE BY 37 AT THE LATEST! Answered Questions and starting quest mobs grey at 38. 37.5 absolute limit for starting.
-
Hearth: Nijel's - OR skip turning in Answered Questions and go by way of Theramore (set hearth Theramore - see IDEA)
Pointers: IF Hall of Explorers (*Reclaimers, very long chain), SW Cathedral (Brother Anton)
head there via menethil/auberdine, swing by Darnassus to finally turn in Answered Questions (Sycthe last step) on the way
ideally start the zone right as you hit 37 and hit 38 (or get very close) finishing it
on centaur quests: only do centaur (gelkis) quests if you're underlevelled, otherwise skip all. 38+ should definitely skip them
can abandon Brutal Politics regardless if doing centaurs or not (quest log will be tight around now)
-
do satyrs then back to town, then go down the east side and make a loop doing Bone Collector and killing magram for ears
grab ghost-o-plasm, skip kodo roundup, come back up west side, get lighthouse stuff and vahlarriel's, turnin Bone Collector, go to nijel's
(make sure venom and kodo hides are done by this point)
then do orc keep, lighthouse, should have 3 naga island quests to do, then south to gelkis turnin (skip followup)
do demon reagents then the undead stuff (doomwarder captains VERY limited - if it's camped go do undead stuff first)
head south to Feralas and get Feathermoon flight path, fly Nijel's (maybe hearth?), fly Theramore
note: can suicide right on entering feralas to TP to dire maul graveyard, just be careful getting back to road
-
Fly Gadgetzan, go turnin quests @ shimmering (pick up everything but the ZF quest), then fly theramore
-
note: the flight from nijel's to gadgetzan goes through theramore which feels like a massive waste...
IDEA: if you leave hearth in menethil before going desolace it actually saves massive time? hearth back once to boat to theramore then hearth back again when done with dustwallow? or does dustwallow require a haerth
if it wasn't for fucking Answered Questions then you could just come nijel's by way of theramore (set hearth) -> gadetzan (shimmering -> hearth theramore -> fly nijel's, do the desolace loop and run to feathermoon -> hearth (2nd time) do theramore shit and hearth again (3rd time). honsetly fuck answered questions this is WAY better

Dustwallow II - 36 (37)
------------
Hearth: Theramore
Pointers: Morgan Stern (SW Mage District) - if you were 33+ at Dustwallow I it should already be done (leads Mudrock)
KEEP: Turtle Meat x10
do Mudrock Soup & Bugs, Jarl Needs Eyes, The Deserters, Stinky's Escape. Hungry! should still be in log
Mages: 2 additional quest turnins
-
go north along coast doing turtles/murlocs, grab Jarl Needs Eyes, head west check for Stinky, do spooders, deserters, then hearth
head north to jarl to turnin, can finish turtles now if it wasn't done before (need 10x Turtle Meat too) and check stinky one last time
note: Need Turtle Meat x10 as well
DONT BOTHER with Razzeric's Tweaking, will be going to that exact spot later anyways and wont be returning to SF anytime soon so it'll just clutter inventory (still need to keep quest in log tho)
also ignore Tabetha unless you're a mage
boat menethil, fly IF to finally train

Alterac - 37 (38) | H: 205?
-------------------------
Hearth: Southshore
Pointers: Perenolde Tiara (SW Keep, should still be in log), Preserving Knowledge (SS), Magical Analysis (STV chain), Star, Hand & Heart (Badlands but impossible to route)
do Soothing Turtle Bisque now, Soothing Spices and Fine Thread can be bought from Micha in Southshore
grab Noble Deaths, Dark Council, Crushridge Warmongers, start looking for group for elite quests
if you didn't get the Assassin's Contract from Shadowy Assassins yet, run around town a bit trying to find them (west side seemed good)
-
head to dalaran first, then enter alterac ruins from west side (entrance near where cave appears on minimap)
if you can't get group, use fear/sheep/pet on the 40 elite guarding the single book for Preserving Knowledge. Rest can be gotten from nonelites just outside of Alterac (the ones that gave the knucklebones)
if no group try to solo the warmongers and Grel'Borg. was relatively easy to solo at 38, just a bit slow
check the goblin vendor on the northeast wall for Frost Oil recipe before heading straight north out of the ruins to the syndicate stuff
start looking for an SM group
-
syndicate mobs aren't that hard but often come in duo pulls, be careful. really want to be 38 by now.
DONT FORGET ensorcelled parchment in chest next to Nagaz (not marked on Questie)
Baron Vardus is either at one of the three camps in the valley or in the Strahnbrad Inn basement, shadow mages mainly in Strahnbrad too
run to chillwind get flightpath, hearth to ss, pick up Hints of a New Plague, fly Arathi

<Scarlet Monastery - lib trash starts going grey at 42>
- one quest desolace chain, one IF, mage class quest

Arathi Highlands - 38 (38)
---------------
Hearth: Southshore
Pointers: Malin's Request (should be done already - Worth Its Weight should be available), Southshore (Hints of a New Plague)
note: Northfold Manor should have already been done in first pass. If not do immediately as mobs start going grey at 38.
get myzrael quest immediately before doing anything
-
do motes, east binding, trolls, talk to quae/kinelory (check for courier spawn), central binding
(if you're having trouble finding entrance to myzrael kobold cave, look for the only tree)
turn in Worth Its Weight in Gold to unlock Wand Over Fist, do that while checking road for courier
head west along road, do stones of binding and northfold. head east back along road (hopefully getting courier by now), do escort
while heading back east also look for fozruk (need duo)
-
do stromgarde when you have all 4 quests
Trelane's Defenses has a retardedly low drop rate - most groups try it for a little while, but don't waste time
don't forget First Aid books @ Deneb Walker in Stomgarde - worth selling on AH even if you don't need
-
Faldir's Cove quests - be around 40, bring underwater breathing potion. dont forget to use the quest goggles, they actually work
afterwards hearth southshore and turn in Hints before going menethil (maybe swing by IF to train)

Badlands - 40 (39.3)
--------------------
Pointers: Shimmering Flats (Martek), Myzrael chain, IF -> Loch Modan/Ironband
trinket quest: frost oil*, gyrochronatom, healing potion, lesser invisibilty potion*, patterend bronze bracers. * = EXPENSIVE
39.3'sh is perfect for early zone oneshot and picking up the few 40's quests worth doing after the majority of the zone. then uldaman
get all quests (except west) before starting any.
when doing dwarves don't forget map item quest (wont be marked by questie or ingame)
Fiery Blaze Enchantments is a hard skip, low drop rate and limited spawn
Tremors of the Earth has a decent amulet reward if you couldn't get Triune or Talvash's but is a pain in the ass otherwise
Ambassador of Evil is worth a lot of gold but is nearly impossible to get a group for. try to get Ulda group to do it after ulda?
Alchemy: Badlands Reagent Run II teaches Restorative Potion. soloable as 45 frostmage, could be a few levels lower and still be fine
make sure to try to farm TdK's necklace from uldaman prior to joining a group (although group may hearth for it anyways)
-
after finished run to Searing Gorge, do the outhouse quest to get Goodsteel's Ledger, then run to Thorium Point and fly 'nam


<Uldaman - do as early as possible, 44 latest ideally. quest xp was penalized heavily at 45 (700 for power stones wtf)>
3 quests IF including the Shattered Necklace drop (Reclaimed Treasures, Lost Dwarves)
2 quests Loch Modan (Uldaman Reagent Run, Agmond's Fate)
3 quests Badlands (A Sign of Hope, Power Stones, Solution to Doom)
note: Agmond's Fate, Solution to Doom, Reclaimed Treasures are outside in the instance, first two in same spot
For out of instance quests, turn LEFT at hammertoe (dont' jump down) - then left for 2 quests @ dwarves, right for 1 @ troggs
note: Shattered Necklace quest - topaz by dwarves in an urn (bottom right of map), other two in top left (grimlok and galgan)
note: Uldaman Reagent Run gives 5x Restorative potions, really don't want to miss this one
Mage class quest is right inside back door and is easily soloable. zone in and out to drink/bandage/barrier, they won't reset

Vietnam II (South) - 41 (42)
-----------------

UPDATE: NEED TO ADD IN SWEET AMBER (WESTFALL) BEFORE THIS POINT! - GET IT BEFORE SWAMP???

Hearth: SW
Pointers: Shimmering Flats, Badlands, you should have several pointing towards BB now. Blue Pearl Diving from Badlands is not worth.
Pointers: Sunken Treasure (Arathi cove chain), Meal Served Cold (SW)
4x Lesser Bloodstone Ore (if not done already). Elixir of Water Breathing (Should have 4x left from Darkshore quests)
don't forget to loot bottles on beach for Message in a Bottle but don't accept it unless you have a group for the 50 elite
pages: 1, 4, 6, 8; 10, 11, 14, 16; 18, 20, 21, 24; 25, 26, 27 if not done already
-
Cortello's Riddle randomly spawns in the boats even on the bottom floor. 14s bag. better duo, if solo then try to be 44-45, still hard tho.

do the murloc quests last, stone of tides sucks but good pre-dreamweave stat robe
note: Encrusted Tail Fins was grey at 44 and gave virtually no xp despite still being difficult solo @ that level. if not green, skip.
-- NEW ROUTE:
pick up meal served cold from SW (make sure hearth comes back up in ~28 mins max when grabbing this), head south down the river (not coast) doing what's possible (maybe this is 2nd croc time? YEA!)
do Tethis if not yet done, grab the meat for Meal Served Cold. if you still have time, do Singing Blue Crystals (if not abandoned) then hearth
-
fly BB, set hearth there, do everything else while heading north to gazban (last chance for Bangalash if not yet done), then hearth BB for turnins

Swamp of Sorrows I? - 42 (43) | H: 235 (important b/c blindweed is for arcane elixirs)
--------------
this should be after STV for cortello - and also after badlands...then you can delete the intermission...

Pointers: Dream Dust in the Swamp (Booty Bay), Mudrock Soup line (Theramore)
Pointers (all SW): Mazen's Behest (Mage quarter), Vital Supplies (Mage quarter, req 40), In Search of the Temple (Dwarf quarter)
Mudrock Soup (morgan stern) quest in theramore must be done before going
"In Search of the Temple" from SW dwarves, this leads to ZF before Sunken Temple but should be done with first pass
escort is a pain in the ass, only do it if with a group otherwise don't bother
after turning in everything, don't do driftwood yet - save that for stacking with Cortello's
Herbalism: try to be 235 by this point if you can. very hard, but blindweed is swamp only and very valuable for alchemy (235-300 arcane elixir)

Dustwallow III  - 43 (44)
---------------
Hearth: Theramore
Pointers (chains): Goodsteel's Ledger, Cortello's Riddle, Razzeric's Tweaking
should be 2-3 other turnins in theramore
-
run west across water as if you're going to onyxia. loot 2 thing at zeppelin, grab tabetha ZF quest, do cortello cave and hearth

Tanaris - 43 (45)
-----------------
UPDATE: need to head tanaris by way of theramore (set hearth), run across water to zeppelin (loot 2 items), tabetha, hearth back, fly gadget

Any lower and lost rigger cove will be aggro nightmare.
pick up gahz'ridian quest in center almost immediately, before going to the coast
Scrimshaw is a pain. 49'sh mobs. try to have aoe (dynamite or something) or wait until 50+ and turn in @ darn w/ungoro soil quest.
if uldaman was cleared make sure you get Portents of Uldum before doing SW corner
update: need 45 for southwest quest, also stuff resists a lot at 44. so try to go at 44.5'sh so you get 45 midway?
be 45 before Noxious Lair / Ogres / Thirsty, for resists and because Thistleshrub Valley requires 45. go feralas if 44 and all else is done
the whole Thistleshrub Valley area can be solo'd at 45 but duo or higher levels makes it much easier. make a friend or do it after feralas I
if skipping SW area b/c too low, finish it after Feralas but before Hinterlands (Thirsty Goblin)
Alchemy: Transmute Arcanite, Goblin Rocket Fuel, Philosopher's Stone recipes in Gadgetzan
note: Don't bother with Ruth'eran (Handle With Care) until after Feralas I is done

Goodsteel/Cortello Intermission - 44/45
--------------------------------------
UPDATE: with new routing should be COMPLETELY REMOVED and fit in naturally. Now includes Sweet Amber as well

Note: this detour is not the most xp-efficient but Cortello's gives 14s bag which is very important early on.
Items: 15 Silk Cloth
If doing Cortello's, at 44/45 go searing gorge via badlands and do Caught! to get Ledger from Tanaris. then get wpt and leave
On the way to SG, stop by entrance of Uldaman and kill dwarves until Shattered Necklace drops if not done (~5% drop, worth it tho)
While doing Caught! can do Suntara Stones since the geologists take some time to respawn. don't bother picking up followup after IF turnin
can also do Key to Searing Gorge (Margol) in SE corner while waiting for respawns
Get the spider legs before leaving. DO NOT DESTROY ANY IF YOU HAVE EXTRA! can bug the quest.
Then go Swamps, pick up Driftwood quest, and do Cortello's (under bridge on west side) as well as Goodsteel's flamberge
Then go Dustwallow, swim across to zeppelin for Goodsteel and Cortello's (cave in south).
If you have Star, Hand, and Heart, then now is also the time to finally finish it as well as Hungry!
Ledger should be effectively done now, and the last step of Cortello's is under the waterfall in eastern Hinterlands

Feralas I (South) - 45 (46)
-----------------
Pointer: Screecher Spirits (Steamwheedle, Tanaris), Jonespyre's Request (SW)
head here after doing all of tanaris (minus the southwest if too low level)
entire south of zone including writhing deep should be done in one go before Darn (should have 4-5 quests pointing to Darn)
In Search of Knowledge is Hinterlands pointer, can grab it after writhing deep is done if quest space is tight
morrowgrain doesn't unlock until after missing courier OR until after Assisting Arch Druid is gotten from an inkeeper?
-
do coast stuff + courier (boat underwater), turn in courier, then do south of zone. rage scar (2nd yeti quest) can be done on either pass
Pristine Yeti Hide can drop from rage scar yetis, extra xp + darn rep. worth grinding these a bit for it (3% drop)
pick up Hippogryph Egg from SW corner high wilderness (in the hills) -> turn in @ tanaris for extra exp
Freedom From All Creatures needs 2 people, check NE of the main camp for another camp for extra Naturalist spawns
don't forget to pick up Orphan Looking for a Home when leaving
may want to pick up 20x Tharlendris Seeds before leaving (and bank them, won't use for a while but won't be back for a while)
-
fly Darnassus, pick up Assisting Arch Druid
MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP THE FERALAS HISTORY BOOK WHEN YOU DO THE RUTH'ERAN TURNINS FOR EQUINEX QUEST! after Search of Knowledge
BUY: 2x Elixir of Fortitude before heading to Un'Goro for the Orphan line

Hinterlands - 44 (45?)
-----------------
VIOLET TRAGAN - THIRSTY GOBLIN CHAIN MUST BE POINTING HINTERLANDS BEFORE COMING HERE!

Pointers: SW (Temple chain), Booty Bay (Whiskey Slim), Tanaris (Handle With Care -> Favored of Elune in Rutheran)
new plan: don't go hinterlands until after Gammerita and Egg quests point there
44 seemed perfect, oozes go up to 47 so any lower would be rough. dogs go up to 48 for egg quest
do the cages quest immediately, return it, then proceed. grab ST quest when you get Zul quest
spot just east of hiri'watha with 2 fast feather respawns
ancient egg / sharpbeak endquests are probably skips
don't bother turning in Gammerita until Azshara step

<Zul'Farrak - 50 at latest, must do feralas/hinterlands first for prereqs>
all quests Gadgetan except:
Tiara of the Deep (Tabetha, Dustwallow)
Prophecy of Mosh'aru questline (starts Steamwheedle as Screecher Spirits, goes to Feralas)
Nekrum's Medallion (starts Hinterlands as Witherbark Cages)
Gahz'rilla (shimmering flats)

Searing Gorge - 47 (48)
-----------------
Pointers: None, although if Suntara Stones was done with Cortello Intermission then you'll need Dwarven Justice from IF (Explorers)
don't forget 3x wanted poster quests
if ledger quest was not done w/Cortello then it should probably be skipped at this point, too much travelling otherwise
don't farm for outhouse key, just do surface quests and then pit and it'll drop at some point. if it doesn't it's no big deal.
Fire elementals are first limited spawn, dark iron lookouts the next. priotize these two questlines first
Prayer to Elune (NE rescue quest in top left corner with elites) is 350 darn rep, should be done w/ Flame's Casing & Release Them
Obsidion can be kited w/2 people (assuming a sheep) but is still pretty difficult
Tailoring: quest npc near BRM requires 250 for all, difficult as 56 priest w/stoneshield potion. bring friend if around 50.




-


Blasted Lands 48? (50?) - need to check min levels again but can probably go there after feralas since azshara has to be at 50
-------------
Pointers: SW mage district
needs to be done before Azshara or levels will be too tight
basilisks were the worst
skip "Stones That Bind Us" unless 52+ or in a group

Vietnam III - 48 (49)
-------------
do the elite monkey / giants quests if possible

Un'Goro I (East/North) - 50 (51)
-----
Pointers: Innkeepers in Major Cities, Gadgetzan, March of the Silithid (Darnassus, req 50, southern part can be delayed till 2nd pass)
Mithril Casing.
note: takes 51 to oneshot zone (Finding the Source req 51), so done in either one or two passes depending on level
Volcanic Activity quest from Ratchet (req 49)
should have Super Sticky, Un'Goro Soil before heading here (Tanaris, Darnassus). March of the Silithid (Darn) if over 50 - is in bug area
do Rhapsody's Kalimdor Kocktail Tanaris part while heading there
7x of each crystal should be gathered on way to refuge for first time (green hardest to find)
ignore bloodpetal sprout (kodo ground item loot) quest - gives no xp. kill quest is good tho.
marshal's refuge BEFORE the apes b/c A-ME quest (mithril casing for this)
some of the tar dudes go to 54, but mostly 53 max
top center pterrordax spawn has few mobs, double pass it.

Azshara - 50 (50)
--------------------
Pointers: 2 quests from IF
DO NOT DO UNTIL 50! Class quests (hunter, priest, rogue, mage at least) send you to Azshara and requires 50 (Priest: +Ichor of Undeath)
go there by way of Auberdine and grab March of the Silithid (req 50) this is the best time to grab it
also turn in Gammerita in Ruth'eran while here
kim'jael/blood elves next after wpt quests, for Kim'Jael just repeatedly loot the 1 box that's isolated until you get everything
Mage: make sure you pick up the Hippogryph feather quest by the tower on the way out (other classes can do it too, still decent xp)
aggro overall in this zone is ridic (AVOID SPIDERS WHEN RUNNING THEY 10S ROOT!) and hippogryphs shock for notable damage
Crew Under Fire should probably be skipped, was broken on pserver

<Sunken Temple>
- level 50 class quest (mage priest hunter rogue)
- 1 quest un'goro bloodpetal line (has a feralas / gregan brewspewer detour)
- 1 quest rhapsody shindigger hinterlands line
- 2 quests tanaris (marvon rivetseeker)
- try to get ancient egg done but w/e...

<Maraudon>
- try to do sometime around 50 if you're a hunter or melee, otherwise recommended skip - takes far too long even with good groups
- all quests desolace except one from theramore
- all quests are sharable except the centaur pariah quests in south desolace

Un'goro II (West/Center/South) - 51 (52)
----------------
Pointers: March of the Silithid (Darnasus, Moon Temple), Volcanic Activity (Ratchet)
3rd part of pterrordax, 2nd part of crate, bugs, finding source
for the silithid hive (really rec 52 if solo) go LEFT for wall sample
MAKE SURE INVENTORY IS NOT FULL when doing crater escort quest, it will autofail!
Pawn Captures Queen is INSANE do not attempt solo even as high as 54! duo or skip!
make sure to not forget linken quest to winterspring upon leaving if not picked up due to log space

Feralas II (North) - 47 (51)
----------------
note: If Videre Elixir is doable before the appropriate linken step then do Feralas II before Felwood
should have 2 quests pointing to Gregan Brewspewer (Linken and Bloodpetals) and Stave of Equinex
last yeti hide part if not done already (don't forget to farm a pristine hide as well)
make sure you get at least 2 stacks of the seeds, 1 isn't enough. 20 soil for quest, every 20 after = another 10 seeds.

Felwood - 52 (52.25)
-------
note: If Videre Elixir is doable before the appropriate linken step then do Feralas II before Felwood
Pointers: IF (Explorers)
being around 52 and a quarter is perfect b/c you hit 53 doing the zone and then can get the WS quest from emerald
get south quests then go do the salve pre-quest in north immediately (slimes on the way) so you can get salves while killing everything else
do the Ratchet flight for Forces of Jadenar after doing everything minus Xavaric (do it while eating or something), turn in Volcanic Activity
Dousing the Flames can be done solo at 53 (do it after doing the northern furbolgs/satyrs?) but 2nd part should be duo
if not 53 when finishing all of Felwood (minus late Jadenar) then grind north satyrs to 53 before going to south town for final time
after turning in Dousing go Winterspring
felwood slime quest goes to un'goro make sure you turn it in IF before finishing linken

Winterspring I (West Only) - 53 (53)
-------
head to darn for felwood water quest and pick up moonkin feathers while there (ruth'eran)
fly back to felwood, tunnel to WS, do donova (advance linken) and then head straight to everlook for Trouble in Winterspring!
do both stacked furby kill quests (Winterfall Activity, Threat of the Winterfall)
farm furbies until empty firewater flask drop quest, do feathers
go back to felwood and do the firewater part up through the water elementals. tree escort too, then head Feralas

Feralas II (North) - 53 (53) - ALTERNATE
----------------
note: If Videre Elixir is doable before the appropriate linken step then do Feralas II before Felwood
should have 2 quests pointing to Gregan Brewspewer (Linken and Bloodpetals) and Stave of Equinex
last yeti hide part if not done already (don't forget to farm a pristine hide as well)
make sure you get at least 2 stacks of the seeds, 1 isn't enough. 20 soil for quest, every 20 after = another 10 seeds.

<Linken Clusterfuck Intermission>
- after Feralas is done go to Gadgetzan for next Linken step (pick up Yuka Screwspigot in Steamwheedle while here)
- un'goro for next step
- back to Felwood again, another chance for tree escort and Final Blow if not done already
- back to Un'Goro again, finish Linken quest and slime quest if not done already.

>>>> NEED TO ADD PAWN CAPTURES QUEEN AND SCRIMSHANK AT THIS POINT - they both end darnassus must be done before WS

Burning Steppes - 54 (55)
------------------
Pointers: Yuka Screwspigot from Tanaris (Steamwheedle), and Smoldering Ruins of Thaurissian (Ironforge)
get north and south quests before doing anything, especially whelps
Dragonkin Menace is a bitch but is part of onyxia attunement so try to duo it unless you can kite.

<Blackrock Depths>
- dragonkin menace / onyxia chain
- 1 from dun morogh (Hurley Blackbreath), 1 from IF (thaurissian -> mighthammer)
- 1 from Steamwheedle (Ribbly Screwspigot)
- rest from steppes (should be 8 quests total)
- 9th quest is MC attunement
- 10th quest is the Ironfel / Shadowforge Key line where you have to die to see the questgiver in central BRM

Winterspring II (All the rest) - (55) 56
-------------------------------------------
Pointers: Felnok Steelspring (steppes chain), Find Ranshalla (feathers chain)
do the E'ko quest first (Luck Be With You) - there's a spot in NE of valley where it can be looted without aggro. hearth after.
do not aggro owlbeasts as a non-priest/paladin, they have a nasty disease
wintersaber trainer quests don't give exp - don't waste time
pick up The Everlook Report & Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff when leaving
Chief Winterfall final quest line leads back to Felwood - last chance to do Final Blow

WPL I (Fields) - 56 (56)
--------------
Pointers: Any major city herald, First and the Last from SW (Bolvar), The Everlook Report (Everlook)
note: Plaguelands order is basically WPL graveyard / cauldrons -> tirion EPL killquests / undercroft / pamela -> WPL andorhol since pamela leads back, then finally EPL north. Winterspring can be done anytime mid-50's and is more relaxed than WPL/EPL
recommended do graveyard/cauldron quests and skip andorhol for the time being
on 3rd cauldron go north for wolves then do scarlet quests but don't do hearthglen vantage yet
note: this beast kill chain awkwardly ends in darnassus, try to get a mage port there or do it when eating or something
when leaving WPL make sure you pick up A Plague Upon Thee from Chillwind
-
4th field and Andorhol are much more difficult than early EPL
if not 56 when finishing fields then grind to 56 or run dungeons (preferably BRD). Can also do Winterspring early
Better Late Than Never is very awkward to go to SW - suggest going at 56 to also pick up First and the Last (Bolvar)
and then doing it right before Andorhol post-early-EPL

EPL I (South & East) - 56 (56)
--------------
Pointers: First and the Last (SW, Bolvar), Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff (Everlook)
start Tiron quests while heading east to wpt, swing by Light's Hope for wpt/quest, finish tirion kill quests BEFORE undercroft
only quests to actually pick up @ Light's Hope are Zaeldarr the Outcast and Restless Souls
frenzied plaguehounds can be found just NW of light's hope, don't need to go far north at all
taelen's hammer quest summons 4 mobs on top of you, best to run then split pull. stoneshield good here.
after turning in last tirion quest head back SW to andorhal

WPL II (Andorhal) - 56 (57)
---------------
Quests: should have watchtowers and darrowshire quest pointing to Auntie Marlene
andorhal is a bitch, stay on the perimeter - don't go inside more than necessary.
annals part is best done approaching from north then around the back of building. still rough. or just corpse run once.
split pull the grubs for chromie's first quest, 2nd quest 2 fast spawns just west of chromie
SE tower should be done when turning in Marlene, then go around the west side for the rest
do bone fragments part of scholo quest. skip the rest of chain for now unless araj group already planned.
do hearthglen vantage point w/defenders of darrowshire from EPL

EPL II (North) - 57 (58)
---------------------------
Quests: Uncle Carlin / Brother Carlin -> Defenders/Villains/Heroes of Darrowshire, Of Lost Honor
fly back to EPL from WPL after finishing Andorhol and go north. turn in kel'theril along the way, don't bother picking up next step.
don't bother doing Defenders in Corin's, the ghouls are way more common in eastern plaguewood
sword -> skull -> symbol -> hameya -> termites/defenders -> terrordale/receipt/restless -> run or hearth/fly back to light's hope
note: it's only a 5 min flight from IF to light's hope, how long from menethil?
note: don't bother picking up 2nd part of restless, is for stratholme
note: rapidly right clicking ghosts for Defenders worked for multi credit on pserver
head west, finish hameya, advance tirion, head to WPL

WPL/EPL III (Hearthglen, Darrowshire Chain) - 57 (58)
--------------
Quests: Unfinished Business (kirsta deepshadow), Heroes of Darrowshire (libram)
grab shield, swim to caer darrow advance tirion.
may want to keep "Love and Family" as it's annoying to reacquire - especially if a healer, tank, or attack dps
swim across to chillwind and turn in termites, get next part
head north to hearthglen forlibram and vantage point.
can be solo'd if patient. avoid lorik.
turn in Unfinished, do 2nd part of termites, turn in chillwind, fly light's hope
turn in darrowshires, try marauders but spawn/rng is awful. west spawn area is far worse. ~7 spawns every 5 min, only do if uncontested
------------------
Pointers: Yuka Screwspigot from Tanaris (Steamwheedle), and Smoldering Ruins of Thaurissian (Ironforge)
get north and south quests before doing anything, especially whelps
Dragonkin Menace is a bitch but is part of onyxia attunement so try to duo it unless you can kite.

<Blackrock Depths>
- dragonkin menace / onyxia chain
- 1 from dun morogh (Hurley Blackbreath), 1 from IF (thaurissian -> mighthammer)
- 1 from Steamwheedle (Ribbly Screwspigot)
- rest from steppes (should be 8 quests total)
- 9th quest is MC attunement
- 10th quest is the Ironfel / Shadowforge Key line where you have to die to see the questgiver in central BRM

Winterspring II (All the rest) - (55) 56
-------------------------------------------
Pointers: Felnok Steelspring (steppes chain), Find Ranshalla (feathers chain)
do the E'ko quest first (Luck Be With You) - there's a spot in NE of valley where it can be looted without aggro. hearth after.
do not aggro owlbeasts as a non-priest/paladin, they have a nasty disease
wintersaber trainer quests don't give exp - don't waste time
pick up The Everlook Report & Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff when leaving
Chief Winterfall final quest line leads back to Felwood - last chance to do Final Blow

WPL I (Fields) - 56 (56)
--------------
Pointers: Any major city herald, First and the Last from SW (Bolvar), The Everlook Report (Everlook)
note: Plaguelands order is basically WPL graveyard / cauldrons -> tirion EPL killquests / undercroft / pamela -> WPL andorhol since pamela leads back, then finally EPL north. Winterspring can be done anytime mid-50's and is more relaxed than WPL/EPL
recommended do graveyard/cauldron quests and skip andorhol for the time being
on 3rd cauldron go north for wolves then do scarlet quests but don't do hearthglen vantage yet
note: this beast kill chain awkwardly ends in darnassus, try to get a mage port there or do it when eating or something
when leaving WPL make sure you pick up A Plague Upon Thee from Chillwind
-
4th field and Andorhol are much more difficult than early EPL
if not 56 when finishing fields then grind to 56 or run dungeons (preferably BRD). Can also do Winterspring early
Better Late Than Never is very awkward to go to SW - suggest going at 56 to also pick up First and the Last (Bolvar)
and then doing it right before Andorhol post-early-EPL

EPL I (South & East) - 56 (56)
--------------
Pointers: First and the Last (SW, Bolvar), Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff (Everlook)
start Tiron quests while heading east to wpt, swing by Light's Hope for wpt/quest, finish tirion kill quests BEFORE undercroft
only quests to actually pick up @ Light's Hope are Zaeldarr the Outcast and Restless Souls
frenzied plaguehounds can be found just NW of light's hope, don't need to go far north at all
taelen's hammer quest summons 4 mobs on top of you, best to run then split pull. stoneshield good here.
after turning in last tirion quest head back SW to andorhal

WPL II (Andorhal) - 56 (57)
---------------
Quests: should have watchtowers and darrowshire quest pointing to Auntie Marlene
andorhal is a bitch, stay on the perimeter - don't go inside more than necessary.
annals part is best done approaching from north then around the back of building. still rough. or just corpse run once.
split pull the grubs for chromie's first quest, 2nd quest 2 fast spawns just west of chromie
SE tower should be done when turning in Marlene, then go around the west side for the rest
do bone fragments part of scholo quest. skip the rest of chain for now unless araj group already planned.
do hearthglen vantage point w/defenders of darrowshire from EPL

EPL II (North) - 57 (58)
---------------------------
Quests: Uncle Carlin / Brother Carlin -> Defenders/Villains/Heroes of Darrowshire, Of Lost Honor
fly back to EPL from WPL after finishing Andorhol and go north. turn in kel'theril along the way, don't bother picking up next step.
don't bother doing Defenders in Corin's, the ghouls are way more common in eastern plaguewood
sword -> skull -> symbol -> hameya -> termites/defenders -> terrordale/receipt/restless -> run or hearth/fly back to light's hope
note: it's only a 5 min flight from IF to light's hope, how long from menethil?
note: don't bother picking up 2nd part of restless, is for stratholme
note: rapidly right clicking ghosts for Defenders worked for multi credit on pserver
head west, finish hameya, advance tirion, head to WPL

WPL/EPL III (Hearthglen, Darrowshire Chain) - 57 (58)
--------------
Quests: Unfinished Business (kirsta deepshadow), Heroes of Darrowshire (libram)
grab shield, swim to caer darrow advance tirion.
may want to keep "Love and Family" as it's annoying to reacquire - especially if a healer, tank, or attack dps
swim across to chillwind and turn in termites, get next part
head north to hearthglen forlibram and vantage point.
can be solo'd if patient. avoid lorik.
turn in Unfinished, do 2nd part of termites, turn in chillwind, fly light's hope
turn in darrowshires, try marauders but spawn/rng is awful. west spawn area is far worse. ~7 spawns every 5 min, only do if uncontested
