Level 1: Complete your first starter zone quests

NORTHSHIRE

• Create your Human Rogue (or create a Dwarf, Gnome or Night Elf Rogue and run them directly to Northshire in Elwynn Forest to begin questing).

• Starting in Northshire, get the quest A Threat Within from Deputy Willem.

• Go inside Northshire Abbey to turn in A Threat Within (40xp, 55SW) to Marshal McBride and get Kobold Camp Cleanup.

• Return to Deputy Willem, get the quest Eagan Peltskinner, then run around the left side of the building to turn in Eagan Peltskinner (85xp, 55SW).

• Get the quest Wolves Across the Border from Eagan Peltskinner.

Before you get started, create yourself a simple Attack macro:

/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike

With that macro, you'll immediately start attacking your enemy, even if you don't have enough energy for Sinister Strike.

• Head west, then around to the north, focusing your attacks on level 1 Young Wolves and Kobold Vermin.

When attacking a mob, always start your attacks from behind whenever possible. If they're facing you, run up and jump into the air, spin around to face their backside, then start your attacks from behind. Attacking from behind (at least to start battle) is a good habit to get into, because enemies cannot parry from behind and some of your Rogue abilities will eventually rely on positioning.

OPTIONAL: If Northshire is way too crowded to begin questing, then consider Exploration Leveling as an alternative to get to level 5, complete with an upgraded weapon, two gathering professions, a few early flight paths (FPs) and a little bit of spending money. Another leveling strategy is the Gladius Grind, where you just grind wolves or similar beasts from levels 1-6 until you have 15 silver and 36 copper (15s36c) to buy a Gladius and train in swords.

Level 2: Continue your starter zone quests

• Kill just enough level 1 Young Wolves and level 1 Kobold Vermin to complete each quest, then return to Northshire Abbey.

• Turn in Wolves Across the Border (170xp, Wolfskin Bracers, 110SW) to Eagan Peltskinner, equip the bracers and sell junk (all gray items are junk) to the vendors. If you find any gloves, hold onto the best set for your Rune of Shadowstrike.

• Turn in Kobold Camp Cleanup (170xp, 25c, 110SW) to Marshal McBride inside Northshire Abbey, then get Investigate Echo Ridge and Encrypted Letter (Humans).

Level 3: Questing and saving copper to start gathering professions

• Go back outside and get Brotherhood of Thieves from Deputy Willem.

• Go around the east side of the building to turn in Encrypted Letter (40xp, 55SW) to Jorik Kerridan (but don't buy any skills yet).

• Get the new SoD quest Thrice Stolen.

• Go north and west to kill 10 Kobold Workers, then return to Northshire Abbey and sell junk.

• Turn in Investigate Echo Ridge (250xp, 40c, 110SW) to Marshal McBride inside Northshire Abbey and get Skirmish at Echo Ridge.

• Go northwest to the entrance of the mine and kill 12 Kobold Laborers.

If the caves are crowded with players waiting for Kobold Laborers, group up to get through this quest quicker (and reduce the total mob xp). All you need to do is click the player, then right-click their portrait (or right-click their name in chat), and click Invite to add them to your group (max group size is 5 for completing quests together).

Level 4: Use gathering professions to get an early weapon upgrade

• Return southeast to Northshire Abbey.

• Turn in Skirmish at Echo Ridge (450xp, Outfitter Belt, 110SW) to Marshal McBride inside Northshire Abbey and get Report to Goldshire.

• Head south out of Northshire and get Rest and Relaxation from Falkhaan Isenstrider.

• Go through the arch and turn right going west, closely hugging the northern hills, avoiding Defias Cutpurses until you reach a light post.

• Go north up the path into the hills to your right until you reach the house of the Herbalism trainer outside Stormwind City.

• Learn Apprentice Herbalism (10c) from Herbalist Pomeroy. Click on your Spellbook icon, go to the General tab and drag Find Herbs from your spellbook onto your Action bar, then click it to turn on your Herbalism "radar". Also make sure to re-click that button to turn it back on if you ever die. Save all herbs for now unless you need quick cash.

If you absolutely have to sell some herbs, only sell Peacebloom and never sell Silverleaf or Earthroot as you'll need more of them later on.

• Go back down the path, then turn right, and go west around the Defias Cutpurses until you reach the other road.

• Take that road south towards Goldshire, picking herbs and avoiding all mobs.

If you get attacked by a hostile mob, you can kite them to a nearby Stormwind Guard patrolling the road who will deal with the threat.

GOLDSHIRE

• Head south into Goldshire and turn in Report to Goldshire (230xp, armor, 55SW) to Marshal Dughan but SKIP Fargodeep Mine.

• Go inside the inn and turn in Rest and Relaxation (100xp, 5 Small Pumpkin, 27SW) to Innkeeper Farley.

• Go outside and buy a Skinning Knife (82c) from the Trade Supplies vendor, Tharynn Bouden, under the covered cart.

• Go northeast past the Goldshire Inn to the Skinning/Leatherworking house next to the Crystal Lake dock. Use the crates next to the building to climb up onto the roof and open the Rusty Lockbox next to the chimney for Rune of Slaughter. Right-click the rune in your inventory to learn Slaughter from the Shadows, then click Slaughter from the Shadows on your character screen to engrave it on your chestpiece. If you ever use Backstab or Ambush, that rune will reduce the high energy cost of those abilities by 20, leaving you more energy for any followup attacks.

• Learn Skinning (10c) from Helene Peltskinner inside.

From now on, kill and skin all level 1-3 critters for Ruined Leather Scraps and Light Leather (rabbits, cows, deer, and especially sheep for Wool Cloth) and keep all scraps and skins unless you need cash. When your health gets low, and you're out of battle, use that downtime to kill/skin surrounding critters while you naturally heal up (assuming no enemies are around). Anytime you see a critter or a dead, looted beast, consider that a free resource waiting around to be gathered, just like any other herb.

• Do a quick circle around Goldshire, picking herbs and killing/skinning critters, but avoiding killing higher level mobs that will give XP.

• Go inside the building across the road from the Goldshire Inn, sell enough skins/herbs and, if necessary, any extra armor you've picked up along the way in order to reach 4s.

• Sell your Worn Dagger and buy a Stiletto (4s1c) from Corina Steele. This is the best dagger you'll find for a while and will last you for several levels until you can afford to learn One Handed Swords and One Handed Maces. Those skills costs 10 silver each and can actually be learned as early as level 1, but gathering 15+ silver to buy one of those skills along with a matching weapon would take a while. If you happen to find a better Sword or Mace that does more damage, hold onto it so you won't have to buy one at a vendor when you eventually train that respective skill.

• Pick herbs and kill/skin critters on your way back to Northshire.

NORTHSHIRE

• Go left through the arch and skin critters around the hills to the west.

• Return east to Northshire Abbey and sell enough skins/herbs/armor to reach 1s10c to buy your initial skills (or 2s10c if you also want Backstab). If you didn't find any gloves, and can afford them, you might consider buying a cheap set of Thin Cloth Gloves (24c) from Dermot Johns outside the Northshire Abbey so you can immediately apply your Rune of Shadowstrike without having to return to Jorik to turn in the quest first. Don't buy the more expensive Cracked Leather Gloves, because you'll be getting a free pair of those very soon.

• Go around the east side of the building to buy your skills (Stealth, Pick Pocket, Optional: Backstab) from Jorik Kerridan.

• Put the skills on your action bar, go into stealth, and put skills on that bar too (with Sinister Strike/Backstab on the same attack slot).

Even better, turn on autoloot and make a simple Pick Pocket + Attack macro to put on your stealth bar:

/cast Pick Pocket
/cast Sinister Strike

• Unstealth and go southeast across the river to the southern side of the Northshire Vineyards while skinning all critters in the area.

You should notice a significant improvement in your effectiveness, partly because you're a level higher, but also because of the new dagger. As a Rogue, your most important piece of gear is your main hand weapon. The higher the average damage, the harder your special attacks hit. Previously, you could barely handle one enemy at a time, whereas now you should be able to safely take on two without breaking a sweat.

• Go into stealth, get behind a lone Defias Thug, use Pick Pocket, then finish the mob off with Backstab/Sinister Strikes/Eviscerate.

When you're using Stealth around equal or higher level mobs, you need to be very careful to sneak up behind them or else you risk being seen. Pick Pocket allows you to get extra loot, including occasional healing potions, which will eventually be life savers in difficult situations. If you get any Minor Healing Potions from pick pocketing, put them on your action bar. New in SoD: You can pick pocket 4 pieces of a map to create one of several Treasure Maps (one for each starter zone). You can also find other helpful items, like Cutty's Note which alerts you to a hidden agent north of Crystal Lake who provides you with another Rune.

Backstab, despite being a fairly powerful attack, can often be frustrating to use for leveling. You must be using a main hand dagger, you must be behind your target and it costs 60 energy. The positional requirement can be especially annoying, sometimes forcing you to Gouge an enemy just to get yourself into place for your next attack.

Now it's time for a more advanced technique - - the jumping stealth attack.

• Run towards a lone Defias Thug, jump for forward momentum, stealth in mid-air, then quickly get behind, pick pocket and finish them off.

Doing this allows you to save time (since stealthing is so slow) by getting as close as you possibly can before entering stealth. The key to this technique is knowing exactly how close you can get before you need to jump and stealth prior to being pulled into combat. The aggro radius varies depending upon the level difference between you and each mob, so it will take a little trial and error to perfect.

If you're faced with a group of enemies, throw a knife from maximum range to pull one from the group, run away in a safe direction, throw another knife to kite that same mob and repeat until any adds stop chasing, then kill that mob.

• Pickpocket and kill Defias Thugs as you make your way to the two outhouses on the southern side of the vineyard where you will find a Defias Stashbox that contains your Rune of Shadowstrike. Right-click the rune in your inventory to learn Shadowstrike, then click Shadowstrike on your character screen to engrave it on your gloves (if you have any - - if not, you'll soon get some when you turn in the quest). Next, go into Stealth and move the Shadowstrike rune from your spellbook onto your bar.

Shadowstrike is a useful ability in various scenarios where you want to close the gap and get a surprise attack (although you won't get to pick pocket, so keep that in mind.) Not only that, but you can use it as a sort of quasi-blink, teleporting from critter to critter along your path, or even other player's mobs. Just find a critter (or gray low level mob) far ahead of you, make a mental note of the direction they're facing (because you'll always end up facing their backside), and as soon as you get into ranged attack distance, jump while running, then hit stealth and Shadowstrike in mid-air to blink to your target. Be careful though, as you could easily teleport into the aggro range of a more dangerous enemy and be caught out of stealth minus 20 energy and facing the wrong direction!

• Continue pickpocketing and killing your way through Defias Thugs for 12 Red Burlap Bandanas, then return to Northshire Abbey.

Level 5: Finish Northshire quests and start up Fishing and Cooking

• Turn in Brotherhood of Thieves (360xp, weapon, 110SW) to Deputy Willem, get Bounty on Garrick Padfoot and Milly Osworth.

• Sell junk but try to hold onto Ruined Leather Scraps, Light Leather and herbs from now on unless you absolutely need to sell them.

• Go around the east side of the building to turn in Milly Osworth (35xp, 11SW) and get Milly's Harvest.

• Turn in Thrice Stolen (85xp, Cracked Leather Gloves, 55SW) to Jorik Kerridan. Save a 2nd pair of gloves for your next Rune unless you run out of bag space and/or need to sell them.

• Go back southeast across the river to collect Milly's Harvest from crates around the field while avoiding combat as much as possible.

• Stealth your way further east to Garrick Padfoot. Pickpocket him for Cutty's Note, kill him, loot his head and return to Northshire.

• Turn in Milly's Harvest (180xp, 55SW) to Milly Osworth on the east side of Northshire Abbey and get Grape Manifest.

• Turn in Bounty on Garrick Padfoot (340xp, Layered Tunic, 83SW) to Deputy Willem and go inside Northshire Abbey.

• Go up to the very top of the spiral stairs to turn in Grape Manifest to Brother Neals (360xp, Wine-stained Cloak, 110SW).

• Sell junk outside the Abbey, then head south out of Northshire.

• If you pickpocketed Cutty's Note from Garrick Padfoot, when you go through the arch, turn left and go across the river where you'll find Cutty stealthed at the east end of the wall. Turn in the note for your Rune of Mutilation. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use it until you get Dual Wield at Level 10.

• Continue south to Goldshire as you kill/skin critters, pick herbs, pick pocket Defias Cutpurses and avoid battles.

GOLDSHIRE

• Do a quick circle around Goldshire, picking herbs, pick pocketing Defias Cutpurses and skinning critters, then buy a Fishing Pole (23c) from Tharynn Bouden under the cart. To reduce the chance for missed catches, you might also want to buy a Shiny Bauble (50c) to help out in your first 10 minutes of fishing.

Your bag is probably pretty full by this point. Assuming you haven't looted more bags, you'll need to manage your bag space wisely. Rather than buy more bags (5s each), save your money for now.

Organize your bag so it only contains the following items:

• 1 Hearthstone

• 1 Stiletto/Fishing Pole (these two items take turns sharing the same slot)

• 1 Skinning Knife

• 1 stack of Peacebloom (try to keep a stack, but you can sell some if you really need to)

• 1 stack of Silverleaf (try not to sell any of these until after you have a full stack)

• 1 stack of Light Leather (try to gather a full stack, and sell anything more than that)

• 2-4 stacks of Ruined Leather Scraps (you may need to hold onto more until you've gathered a full stack of Light Leather)

• 1 stack of Minor Healing Potions (try not to sell these unless you really need to)

• 1 Fishing Bauble

• 1 or more pieces of a treasure map

Total: 11-15 slots filled of your 16 slot bag, leaving a few slots for fish you'll be catching and cooking. If you're having trouble making space, sell any extra non-quest items, such as extra stacks of Ruined Leather Scraps, to the vendor and the most recent 12 items sold will remain in their Buyback tab (until you logout) if you need to get them back later on.

• Go back to the Skinning/Leatherworking building, go out on the dock and learn Fishing (1s) from Lee Brown.

Fishing might seem slow, boring and pointless, but you will eventually be reaping multiple short term and long term benefits from it. Within 45 minutes, you'll have 75 Fishing, 75 Cooking, and plenty of great low level food, 4x better than any other food at your level. Later on, Fishing provides you with buff food, free loot, some easy quests, Alchemy reagents and even lock boxes to level your lock picking. Since you won't be grinding mobs for meat with this questing plan, fish will be your main source for skilling up Cooking as you level.

• Equip the fishing pole, move Fishing from your spellbook to your action bar, apply the Shiny Bauble and cast your line. Make sure autoloot is on, and when the bobber splashes, use right-click on your mouse to loot the fish. Zoom your camera in and turn up your sound to make it easier.

Your initial goal is to fish for 50 Brilliant Smallfish to level up your cooking to 50, after which you'll be able to cook Longjaw Mud Snapper.

• Fish from the dock until you reach Fishing level 25 (approximately 10 minutes), then make another circle around Goldshire, picking herbs, pick pocketing Defias Cutpurses and beating critters with a fishing pole before skinning them.

• Return to the dock to continue fishing until Fishing level 75, then make another circle around Goldshire, picking herbs, pick pocketing Defias Cutpurses and skinning critters.

Note: Level 10 is required for Journeyman Fishing and crafting professions but not for Journeyman Cooking or Journeyman Herbalism. You may be approaching 50-75 Skinning by now, but don't learn Journeyman Skinning just yet, because you'll be temporarily dropping it soon.

• Return to Tharynn Bouden, sell junk and buy the Recipe: Brilliant Smallfish (40c).

• Go inside the inn, learn Apprentice Cooking (1s) from Tomas, then cook up and sell all Brilliant Smallfish.

Upon reaching level 20, with 60 Cooking and 50 Herbalism, you'll be able to harvest and make your own Thistle Tea, improving your overall effectiveness.

• Sell skins/herbs and any non-fish junk you may have collected from fishing to reach 5s (and free up space), then fish up the rest of the 50 Brilliant Smallfish.

• Make another circle around Goldshire, picking herbs, pick pocketing Defias Cutpurses and skinning critters, then cook and sell all Brilliant Smallfish to get to 50 Cooking.

• Go outside the inn, pick herbs, pick pocket Defias Cutpurses and skin critters, then sell skins/herbs to reach 4s and buy Recipe: Longjaw Mud Snapper from Tharynn Bouden.

• Cook Longjaw Mud Snapper until you reach 75 Cooking, then save any remaining raw fish to continue leveling later on when you can easily afford the 5s for Journeyman Cooking.

• Buy back any herbs, Ruined Leather Scraps (which you'll no longer need once you have 20 Light Leather), etc. that you sold earlier (before they disappear from the Buyback tab), then sell all cooked fish except for a stack of Longjaw Mud Snapper.

From now on, use Longjaw Mud Snapper to quickly heal yourself up (it heals faster than Linen Bandages, however it can't be used in battle.)

• Make one final circle around Goldshire, picking herbs, pick pocketing Defias Cutpurses and skinning critters, then head northwest into Stormwind City (85xp).

STORMWIND CITY

• Get Wine Shop Advert from Renato Gallina as you walk in and Harlan Needs a Resupply from Harlan Bagley in the Lionheart Armory further ahead.

• Go to the bank to put in all Ruined Leather Scraps, Light Leather and any uncooked Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper to save for later. Also, put any treasure map pieces in the bank to save for later.

• Walk west through the tunnel towards the canal, go right and turn in Harlan Needs a Resupply to Rema Schneider (85xp, 17c, 55SW, 13Sp). Note: This is your first quest with Spillover rep (Sp).

• Get Package for Thurman, then go south to the Gallina Winery to turn in Wine Shop Advert (130xp, Bottle of Pinot Noir, 82SW, 21Sp) to Suzetta Gallina.

• Sell the Bottle of Pinot Noir, then go west across the bridge and left through the tunnel into Mage Quarter.

• Go up the hill and to the right to turn in Package for Thurman to Thurman Schneider at Larson Clothiers (130xp, 83SW, 20Sp).

• Go northeast across the city to take the Deeprun Tram to Ironforge. While waiting for the tram, set your action bars/macros/keybindings.

IRONFORGE

• Leave the Deeprun Tram going into Ironforge (0xp?), go west and north into the Great Forge to grab the FP.

• Go to the southwest and out through the Gates of Ironforge (65xp).

DUN MOROGH

• Walk down the sloping road from the Ironforge Gate, then at the bottom, turn left onto the road going south to Kharanos (45xp).

• Kill/skin critters and pick herbs as you go south to Kharanos, staying close to the road.

• When you reach the Thunderbrew Distillery in Kharanos on the left, go up the back left side of the building, then climb out onto the keg and open the box for Rune of Slaughter (if you still need it), then go into the inn and set your hearthstone at Kharanos.

• If you can afford them, buy Small Brown Pouches for 5s each from Kreg Bilm and upgrade to Balanced Throwing Daggers for 30c.

• Learn First Aid (1s) from Thamner Pol, then begin making bandages out of any Linen Cloth you find throughout your travels.

When your health gets low, and you're out of battle, use that downtime to make Linen Bandages while you naturally heal up (assuming no enemies are around). At low levels, you should heal up naturally in the time it takes to make a few bandages that you can then use in-combat the next time you get into trouble.

• Leave the inn and go southwest along the road to Coldridge Pass (35xp).

• When you get to the tunnel, zoom in your camera for a better view, then stealth/pick pocket the Rockjaw Raiders, but don't kill any of them. If one of them aggros, run through the rest of the tunnel until you escape out the other side into Coldridge Valley.

COLDRIDGE VALLEY

• Go down the hill to the Dwarf/Gnome starting area.

• Sell all junk (and also sell any herbs to temporarily hold in Buyback so you can free up space), then get Dwarven Outfitters from Sten Stoutarm (even if it's gray).

• Kill/loot Ragged Young Wolves (Shadowstrike is perfect for these non-humanoid mobs, since they can't be pickpocketed) and skin rabbits, then turn in Dwarven Outfitters (80xp, Wolf Handler Gloves, 110IF/GE) to Sten Stoutarm and get Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery.

• If the Encrypted Rune (Dwarf) or Encrypted Memorandum (Gnome) quest is offered to you, take it. Note: Not offered to Humans.

• Get A New Threat from Balir Frosthammer, then go back east towards the hillside and pick pocket/kill Rockjaw Troggs and Burly Rockjaw Troggs.

• If you haven't reached level 6 yet, you should be extremely close. Pickpocket/kill more troggs until you're 170xp away from level 6 then go back west to the Dwarf/Gnome starting area.

• Turn in A New Threat (170xp, Bear Shawl, 110IF/GE) to Balir Frosthammer and sell all junk (always keep an eye on your herbs in Buyback and buy/sell them back if they get close to disappearing).

Level 6: Work on Coldridge Valley quests and continue to Teldrassil

• Go north into Anvilmar.

ANVILMAR

• Get A Refugee's Quandary from Felix Whindlebolt.

• Turn in Encrypted Rune (Dwarf) or Encrypted Memorandum (Gnome) to the Rogue Trainer, Solm Hargrin, and get Thrice Stolen. Note: This version of Thrice Stolen is not offered to Humans.

• Buy skills (Sinister Strike Rank 2, Gouge) for 2s and put Gouge on your action bar.

Gouge is mainly a delay ability, giving you time to use a partial bandage, kite a mob, or slow them down long enough for you to regain energy or just get away.

• Walk further inside and buy Cracked Leather Boots (unless you've already looted decent boots) from Durnan Furcutter and equip them.

• Leave Anvilmar.

COLDRIDGE VALLEY

• Head west along the road.

• Stop by the trogg camp on your left to quickly stealth through and pick all of their pockets for free loot, since they'll rarely aggro, then continue west.

• Turn in Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery (190xp, 83IF/GE) to Talin Keeneye and get Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery Pt. 2 and The Boar Hunter.

• Kill (Shadowstrike) Small Crag Boars around the area, then turn in The Boar Hunter (250xp, Dwarven Leather Pants, 110IF/GE) to Talin Keeneye and equip your pants.

If you need to free up space in your bag(s), turn on Autorun between objectives and throw out the least valuable items. As a general rule, you can throw away any gray cloth/leather armor that you won't equip, as well as jerky/bread/water, since they usually sell for 5c or less. Always hold onto quest items, as well as tusks, pelts, leather scraps and similar pieces that stack, because they can sell for 20c or more per stack.

• Continue south along the road and turn in Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery Pt 2. (270xp, 7c, 82IF/GE) to Grelin Whitebeard and get The Troll Cave.

• SKIP Scalding Mornbrew Delivery from Nori Pridedrift (for now).

• Go due west to the first of three troll camps to kill Frostmane Trolls while picking up all of Felix's gear.

• Get Felix's Box, then go southeast to the next camp to get Felix's Chest, then east to the Troll Cave entrance for Felix's Bucket of Bolts.

• Kill any Frostmane Trolls you still need, then return to the campground to turn in The Troll Cave (360xp, weapon, Healing Herb, 110IF/GE) to Grelin Whitebeard and get The Stolen Journal.

• If you are more than 1,250xp away from level 7, get Scalding Mornbrew Delivery from Nori Pridedrift, otherwise skip it for now (you don't want to hit level 7 until after reaching Teldrassil). Throw away the Healing Herbs if your bag is full.

• Return northeast to Anvilmar, briefly stopping by the trogg camp to pick pockets.

ANVILMAR

• Turn in Refugee's Quandary (250xp, 50c, 110IF/GE) to Felix Whindlebolt.

• Turn in Scalding Mornbrew Delivery (230xp, 55IF/GE) to Durnan Furcutter but SKIP Bring Back the Mug.

• Hearth to Kharanos.

KHARANOS

• Sell junk and buy Small Brown Pouches for 5s each from Kreg Bilm.

DUN MOROGH

Closely follow the exact route listed below to avoid getting extra exploration experience.

• Leave the inn and go north up the road, then just before the river, turn right at the crossroad and follow the other road going east all the way across Dun Morogh.

• At the fork, turn left and go northeast through North Gate Pass and North Gate Outpost (85xp) into Loch Modan.

LOCH MODAN

• Head east out of the tunnel to Algaz Station (85xp).

• Pick herbs and kill/skin rams and sheep (if you no longer need to sell Wool Cloth, start saving it in your bank to eventually make Wool Bandages) as you go south or die/resurrect (rez) to the south outside Thelsamar (85xp).

OPTIONAL: If you're playing Hardcore mode (or just don't want to die needlessly), then obviously ignore any steps where I recommend that you die/rez in order to save time. In particular, you're going to want to skip the next few steps where I have you make several corpse runs to get to Menethil Harbor in Wetlands. Instead, I recommend that you take a safer, but longer route (approx. 40 minutes total) to Menethil Harbor.

For the safe route, take a gryphon flight from Thelsamar back to Stormwind, then go south through Elwynn Forest to Goldshire, west along the road towards Westfall, then when you reach the river bordering Westfall, follow it north to the waterfall. Get your Minor Healing Potion button ready for use as you carefully make your way west over the hill, then north down to the shore, going around the murloc huts to the The Great Sea.

Swim your way north (avoiding all darker colored, deep water on your left which causes Fatigue death), hugging the cliffs all the way around until you eventually reach Wetlands (it will take about 30 minutes of swimming). When you reach Baradin Bay, stop hugging the coastline and instead swim due east until you reach Menethil Harbor (you'll want to avoid the much higher level murlocs on the south end of Menethil Harbor). Now skip ahead to the Menethil Harbor section.

• Grab the Thelsamar FP, then go back north, picking herbs and killing/skinning rams and sheep close to the road, past Algaz Station and into the tunnel.

• Go north through the Dun Algaz (85xp) tunnels until you reach the Dragonmaw Orcs. Run past them as far as you can until you die. Despite technically dying in the Wetlands, you'll have to run your ghost from Thelsamar back to your body, then safely rez past the guards, continue through the tunnels, then carefully drop down into Wetlands. Die to an enemy outside the lower tunnel exit.

WETLANDS

• Rez at the Wetlands graveyard, then carefully go west towards Menethil Harbor, hugging the rock wall on the left until you reach the Dragonmaw Raiders.

• Move closer to the road to get past them, then get back over to the left, climbing along the rock wall to avoid the crocolisks on the right.

• Wait for the best opening, then run west on the road past the raptors and crocolisks, hugging/hopping over obstacles to slow them down.

• You should reach Sundown Marsh (85xp) before you eventually die and rez at the Baradin Bay graveyard, but it may take an additional graveyard run.

• From the Baradin Bay graveyard, swim south and go west over the bridge to Menethil Harbor (85xp).

MENETHIL HARBOR

As you travel in and around large bodies of water, always keep an eye out for pools of Floating Wreckage that you can fish for free loot. Ideally, you'd like to score one or more Watertight Trunks, which are the equivalent of floating treasure chests. If so, you might be able to get enough silver selling the loot to buy a full set of 4 bags, which will make bag organization much easier.

• Repair your dagger and fishing pole, then get the FP.

To maximize your chance to catch fish/loot here, you can buy a Shiny Bauble (50c) or Nightcrawlers (1s) from Stuart Fleming on the dock.

• Make a quick circle around the peninsula of Menethil Harbor looking for pools of Floating Wreckage, while watching for any hostile mobs.

When fishing at a pool of Floating Wreckage, keep recasting your line until it lands in the circle.

• When you're done fishing for loot, save all raw fish and sell anything you don't want to keep.

• Go out to the right (northern) dock to take the ship to Auberdine in Darkshore. While waiting for the ship, get in some more fishing.

AUBERDINE

• Check for pools of Floating Wreckage on the outer end of the dock, but stay away from the town of Auberdine to avoid the extra 85xp.

• Go across to the other dock where the ship going to Rut'theran Village/Teldrassil lands and get in some more fishing while waiting for the ship (save all Darkshore Groupers for a quest).

• When the ship for Rut'theran Village/Teldrassil arrives at the Auberdine dock, go across its deck to get as close to the lighthouse island as possible. Get your Minor Healing Potion button ready, and wait for the Darkshore Threshers on either side to open a path for you to swim through, then quickly jump across and swim over to that island. Climb up to the top where you'll find a Lighthouse Stash next to the base of the topmost tree. Loot it to get your Rune of Saber Slash. If you didn't save a 2nd pair of gloves, you'll get a free set soon. Now you'll need to get your Minor Healing Potion button ready again, then carefully swim southeast back to Auberdine, keeping a close eye out for any nearby Darkshore Threshers.

Saber Slash is superior to Sinister Strike, and will replace it as your primary attack, so make all of the necessary changes in your macros. You can create different attack macros for each rune. For example:

Shadowstrike Macro (use in stealth against critters and other easily killed gray mobs):

/equip Cracked Leather Gloves
/cast Shadowstrike
/cast Sinister Strike
/startattack

Saber Slash Macro:

/equip Wolf Handler Gloves
/startattack
/cast Saber Slash
/cast Sinister Strike

Note: If you open with Shadowstrike on a mob, then you'll be stuck wearing your Shadowstrike gloves, and will be unable to use Saber Slash, so Sinister Strike has been added as a fallback attack in both macros for those types of situations. Also, make sure to update your Shadowstrike and Saber Slash macros each time you replace your gloves.

• Take the ship going to Rut'theran Village/Teldrassil.

RUT'THERAN VILLAGE

• When you arrive in Rut'theran Village (85xp), buy Recipe: Slitherskin Mackerel (40c) from Nessa Shadowsong, but try to save 2s25c. If you don't have that much saved up, then sell some loot, including all of the armor you're wearing (except for your gloves), until you do.

• Get the FP at the end of the eastern walkway, then go west back down the walkway, turn right at Nessa, and go north to take the glowing teleporter into Darnassus (85xp).

DARNASSUS

Whenever you're in Darnassus, try to hang around for the the excellent Boon of Blackfathom world buff, which increases the critical chance of spells, melee, and ranged by 2%, grants 20 attack power, and increases movement speed by 20% for 2 hours. In SoD, that world buff is being constantly refreshed as players turn in the Perfect Blackfathom Pearl quest from BFD. That buff will greatly speed up your overall progress and effectiveness, and is well worth the wait. So go take a bio break, finish up some chores, etc. and resume questing once you're buffed.

• Go to the bank in central Darnassus, deposit your Fishing Pole, all uncooked fish, all map pieces, and any other items you want to save for later.

• Take out all Light Leather and Ruined Leather Scraps, then go northeast to the Craftsmen's Terrace and up to the 2nd floor of the Tailoring/Leatherworking tree.

• Click on your character's Skills tab, select Skinning and click the red "cancel" icon to drop that profession (temporarily).

• Learn Leatherworking (10c) from Darianna and buy 8 Coarse Thread (80c) from Saenorion.

• Convert all Ruined Leather Scraps into Light Leather, then craft yourself a Handstitched Leather set and 14 Light Armor Kits.

You should have enough leather to reach skill level 25+ to craft Handstitched Leather Pants (50c) and a Handstitched Leather Belt (75c). This starter set of armor should last you for the next 5-10 levels until you start picking up quest gear with better stats.

• Use the Light Armor Kits to buff all of your chestpieces/pants/boots/gloves, (which does not replace your Runes), and any upgrades that you eventually get for those slots.

The reason you waited until now to craft that armor is so you wouldn't have to repair it all after making your death run through Wetlands. Unfortunately, the Leatherworking profession doesn't fit into the rest of this leveling plan beyond this point, so I recommend dropping it. If you can't sell your damaged low level gear that's being replaced, don't try to repair and sell, just throw it away.

• Once you've crafted all of your armor (including the Handstitched Leather Pants and Handstitched Leather Belt), use any remaining leather to craft more Light Armor Kits.

• Click on your character's Skills tab, select Leatherworking and click the red "cancel" icon to drop that profession.

• Learn Skinning (10c) again from Eladriel, then sell all skins from now on to help fund your adventures.

OPTIONAL: If you have any interest in Cenarion Circle rep, put all skins in your bank as you're leveling until you've saved up and/or purchased 6-9 stacks of Light Leather and 6-18 stacks of Ruined Leather Scraps (more of one would require less of the other), which is what you would need to temporarily level up Leatherworking to skill level 70 to complete the Leatherworking quest Moonglow Vest for Cenarion Circle rep after level 15.

If you're playing in Phase 1 of SoD, consider saving all optional quests (highlighted in red) until you reach max level 25, then go back and complete any optional quests that you skipped. You'll get little or no rep for lower level quests, but at least you won't have to worry about the extra experience from those quests causing other, more important quests to go gray.

• Put anything you don't need right now in the bank.

• If you still have silver to spend, check the Auction House (AH) for any bags that cost less than 5s (which is what you would pay for a 6 slot bag from a vendor).

• Head east out of Darnassus to Teldrassil.

TELDRASSIL

• Go east on the road across Teldrassil, hugging the left side of the road to avoid exploration XP from Ban'ethil Hollow.

• Get The Road to Darnassus from Moon Priestess Amara along the road, then continue east to Dolanaar (45xp).

DOLANAAR

• Skin all critters around Dolanaar, then go into the inn on the right and sell junk.

• Get Recipe of the Kaldorei from Zarrin the Cook just outside the inn to the south.

• Go north across the road, get Denalan's Earth from Syral Bladeleaf and get A Troubling Breeze from Athridas Bearmantle.

• Go up the ramp inside the tree and purchase Small Brown Pouches and Balanced Throwing Daggers from Aldia (if you still need them).

• Continue to the top of the tree and get Twisted Hatred and The Emerald Dreamcatcher from Tallonkai Swiftroot.

TELDRASSIL

• Leave the tree and go east, picking herbs and skinning critters (but avoiding all mobs) and get Zenn's Bidding from Zenn Foulhoof on the left side of the road.

• Continue east and north into Shadowglen, past Porthannius and further north to the village of Aldrassil.

ALDRASSIL

If everything works out properly, you will arrive in Aldrassil just before reaching level 7. You might have one initial gray quest, but all of the remaining quests will still be green, giving full reputation and experience.

• Get The Woodland Protector from Melithar Staghelm in front of the building (even if it's gray).

• Go east and get A Good Friend from Dirania Silvershine, then go west across the path.

• Get The Balance of Nature from Conservator Ilthalaine, then go further west to turn in The Woodland Protector (40xp, 55D) to Tarindrella.

• Get The Woodland Protector Pt 2., then kill 7 Young Nightsabers and 4 level 1 Young Thistle Boars. Note: These animals cannot be skinned.

• Turn in The Balance of Nature (170xp, Archery Training Gloves, 110D) to Conservator Ilthalaine and get The Balance of Nature Pt 2. Apply your Rune of Saber Slash to those gloves, and setup your macros, if you still need to.

• Get the Night Elf Rogue quest Encrypted Sigil if it is offered to you. Note: Not offered to Humans.

Level 7: Finish Shadowglen quests and start on Dolanaar quests

• Go northeast into the main building, repair and sell junk to the vendor.

• Turn in Encrypted Sigil (40xp) to Frahun Shadewhisper and get Second-Story Work.

• Go out of the building and turn right and to the north to get Webwood Venom from Gilshalan Windwalker. If you are a Night Elf and have the quest Second-Story Work, go up the ramp behind him all the way to the top of the tree, then jump down onto the roof of the building and make your way down to the right until you find the idol of an owl on the southeast corner of the lowermost rooftop, which contains your Rune of Shadowstrike. Turn in Second-Story Work (85xp, Cracked Leather Gloves, 55D) to Frahun Shadewhisper inside the building.

SHADOWGLEN

• Go northeast past the pools to kill/loot 7 Mangy Nightsabers and 4 Thistle Boars. Note: These cannot be skinned.

• Go west towards Shadowthread Cave, killing/looting Webwood Spiders outside the cave for Webwood Venom Sacs, then go into the narrow valley west of the cave entrance.

• Turn in A Good Friend (270xp, 83D) to Iverron and get A Friend in Need, then return east to the entrance of Shadowthread Cave.

• Go into the cave to kill/loot Webwood Spiders for 10 Webwood Venom Sacs, then return south to Aldrassil.

Don't hearth back, because your hearthstone is set in Dun Morogh. You can die/rez to get back quicker, but it will cost about 1s to repair.

ALDRASSIL

• Turn in Webwood Venom (360xp, Thistlewood Dagger, 110D) to Gilshalan Windwalker and get Webwood Egg (save the dagger for your offhand when you get level 10 Dual Wield).

• Go south and turn in The Balance of Nature Pt 2 (250xp, Blackened Leather Belt, 50c, 110D) to Conservator Ilthalaine.

• Go northeast to turn in A Friend in Need (90xp, 27D) to Dirania Silvershine and get Iverron's Antidote.

• Go northwest into the main building and sell junk to the vendor.

SHADOWGLEN

• Go west to kill/loot Grellkin (not Grells) for 8 Fell Moss and 7 Hyacinth Mushroom, then go northeast to get 4 Moonpetal Lily around the pond.

• Go northwest to Shadowthread Cave, kill spiders for 1 Webwood Ichor, then zoom in your camera and carefully stealth your way into the caves.

• Go forward, turn right at the first intersection, then turn left at the next, and go up the hill and around the corner to the very top.

• At the top, you'll see eggs behind the spiders. Go to the safest egg on either side, kill any nearby spider, loot the egg, then die/rez back in Aldrassil, or else stealth your way back out of the cave.

ALDRASSIL

• Turn in Webwood Egg (550xp, Woodland Tunic, 165D) to Gilshalan Windwalker and get Tenaron's Summons.

• Go up the ramp to the top of the tree to turn in Tenaron's Summons (45xp, 11D) to Tenaron Stormgrip, get Crown of the Earth, then make your way back down.

• Go south to turn in The Woodland Protector Pt 2 (250xp, Canopy Leggings, 3 Healing Herb, 110D) to Tarindrella.

• Go northeast into the main building, repair and sell junk to the vendor (the Healing Herbs are junk).

• Go southeast to turn in Iverron's Antidote (360xp, 110D) to Dirania Silvershine and get Iverron's Antidote Pt 2. (which starts a 5 minute timer).

SHADOWGLEN

• Quickly go northwest to turn in Iverron's Antidote (450xp, armor, 165D) to Iverron before the timer runs out.

• Go east and fill the Crystal Phial in the moonwell.

• Return south to Aldrassil.

ALDRASSIL

TELDRASSIL

• Head southwest to Dolanaar, picking herbs and killing/looting/skinning nightsabers/owls/spiders for quest items along the way.

DOLANAAR

• When you reach Dolanaar, if you still need bags, then go into the tree on the right, up the ramp to the second floor and buy Small Brown Pouches from Aldia.

• Go south across the road into the inn.

• Turn in Dolanaar Delivery (110xp, 5 Darnassian Bleu, 27D) to Innkeeper Keldamyr and sell all junk (don't sell Small Eggs or Small Spider Legs).

• Go south through the inn to the moonwell just outside.

• Turn in Crown of the Earth Pt. 2 (230xp, 55D) to Corithras Moonrage and get Crown of the Earth Pt. 3.

Level 8: Finish low level Teldrassil quests, then return to Dun Morogh

• Visit the Rogue Trainer, Jannok Breezesong, to learn new skills (Evasion, Eviscerate Rank 2) for 4s and put Evasion on your action bars.

Evasion is your primary defense mechanism, allowing you to dodge attacks from multiple opponents, both melee and ranged. With a 5 minute cooldown, you'll want to save it for those times when you really need it. Also, when you do use it, make sure that your enemies stay in front of you to get the full effect.

TELDRASSIL

• Pick herbs and kill/loot/skin nightsabers/owls/spiders as you go east to the moonwell outside Starbreeze Village to fill the Jade Phial.

• Stealth your way east into the village to the first building on the right, and go up to the top floor.

• Turn in A Troubling Breeze (270xp, 55D) at the body of Gaerolas Talvethren, then get Gnarlpine Corruption.

• From that building, stealth your way east to a small house, where you'll loot the Emerald Dreamcatcher from the dresser.

• If the dresser isn't there, go out and pick herbs in the immediate area, then come back and check again.

• Pick herbs as you go southwest down the hill, avoiding Timberlings, to Lake Al'Ameth.

• Turn in Denalan's Earth (230xp, 50c, 55D) to Denalan and get Timberling Seeds and Timberling Sprouts.

• Go north, avoiding Timberlings, and finish killing owls/nightsabers/spiders, then turn in Zenn's Bidding (450xp, 1s, Severed Voodoo Claw) to Zenn Foulhoof.

• Go west to Dolanaar.

DOLANAAR

• Get Seek Redemption! from Syral Bladeleaf.

• Turn in Gnarlpine Corruption (550xp, 1s25c, 110D) to Athridas Bearmantle and get The Relics of Wakening.

• Go up the ramp to the second floor of the tree to buy Small Brown Pouches from Aldia if you still need them.

• Go to the top of the tree to turn in The Emerald Dreamcatcher (410xp, 1s, 83D) to Tallonkai Swiftroot and get Ferocitas the Dream Eater.

• Go back down and across the road and through the inn.

• Turn in Crown of the Earth Pt. 3 (340xp, 110D) to Corithras Moonrage and get Crown of the Earth Pt. 4.

• Turn in Recipe of the Kaldorei (625xp, 85c, 3 Kaldorei Spider Kabob, 110D) to Zarrin the Cook and cook up any leftover Small Eggs and Small Spider Legs.

TELDRASSIL

• Pick herbs, avoid mobs and look for Fel Cones on the ground around trees as you go southwest around the south end of the mountain range to the next moonwell.

When you reach the mountains west of Dolanaar, keep an eye out for Earthroot along the hillsides.

• Near the Pools of Arlithrien you'll find the next moonwell, where you'll fill the Tourmaline Phial.

• Return northeast to Dolanaar, picking herbs and Fel Cones along the way.

DOLANAAR

• Turn in Crown of the Earth Pt. 4 (775xp, 110D) to Corithras Moonrage and get Crown of the Earth Pt. 5.

TELDRASSIL

• Finish picking up 3 Fel Cones on the ground around trees, then head east to Zenn Foulhoof and turn in Seek Redemption! (625xp, 1s75c, 220D).

• Hearth to Kharanos.

KHARANOS

• Sell junk and buy Small Brown Pouches for 5s each from Kreg Bilm if you still need them.

• Get the quest Beer Basted Boar Ribs from Ragnar Thunderbrew standing outside the inn.

• Get Tools for Steelgrill from Tharek Blackstone standing in front of the other building.

OPTIONAL: Temporarily drop Skinning and switch to Mining until level 17 to complete two Blacksmithing quests that give Ironforge/Stormwind rep - - Supplying the Front and Gearing Redridge. You can buy a Mining Pick from Thrawn Boltar in the building behind Tharek Blackstone and learn Mining from Yarr Hammerstone at Steelgrill's Depot, but note that you can only have one gathering "radar" on at a time, so this would require constantly switching back and forth from Find Herbs to Find Minerals on your "radar" (use this easy 1 button macro: /castsequence Find Herbs, Find Minerals). To level up Blacksmithing at level 17 and complete those two quests, you'll need to gather and/or purchase approximately 100 Rough Stone, 160 Copper Ore, 8 Light Leather and 12 Linen Cloth.

• Go north and get Operation Recombobulation from Razzle Sprysprocket in the building on the left with the spinning gear on top.

DUN MOROGH

• Go northeast to Steelgrill's Depot and turn in Tools for Steelgrill (110xp, 25c, 28IF/GE) to Beldin Steelgrill.

• Get Ammo for Rumbleshot from Loslor Rudge, Stocking Jetsteam from Pilot Bellowfiz and The Grizzled Den from Pilot Stonegear.

• Kill/loot/skin level 5/6 boars and bears around Steelgrill's Depot.

As you begin finding chests and looting higher level mobs (level 6+), you'll start occasionally getting Waylaid Supplies crates. These can be turned in at capital cities for Azeroth Commerce Authority reputation (ACA rep), which you'll need to work on in order to reach Friendly (no longer Honored as of 12/12/23) if you want to get Rune of Teasing for the Just a Flesh Wound tanking rune. The Waylaid Supplies crates can be turned in with or without the missing crafted item, but you'll get more rep if you add the missing item.

Unfortunately, turning in lower level 10 supplies only works until Friendly. Once you reach Friendly, you'll need to turn in higher level 25 supplies if you want to reach Honored for the 12 slot bag. To further complicate matters, Waylaid Supplies are unique and soulbound, so you'll need to go out of your way to turn them in one at a time. If you already have a Waylaid Supplies box in your inventory and another one drops that looks easier/cheaper to complete, feel free to throw away the old one in order to pick up the new one.

Level 9: Continue working on low level Dun Morogh quests

• Turn in Stocking Jetsteam (675xp, 2s50c, 165IF/GE) to Pilot Bellowfiz and get Evershine.

KHARANOS

• Return to Kharanos, go inside the inn and buy one Rhapsody Malt from Inkeeper Belm, sell any junk gray items but save all meat (you need 4 Chunks of Boar Meat for another quest and all other meat will be used to level Cooking after you train Journeyman Cooking).

• Turn in Beer Basted Boar Ribs (625xp, 1s75c, 5 Beer Basted Boar Ribs, Recipe: Beer Basted Boar Ribs, 110IF/GE) to Ragnar Thunderbrew outside the inn.

DUN MOROGH

• Go west down into the valley of Grizzled Den.

• Grab the crate at the camp, then go northwest towards the cave entrance.

• Kill/loot/skin Wendigos outside the cave and make your way in until you've completed the quest.

• Return south back to the road and follow it southwest, then turn in Ammo for Rumbleshot (550xp, 1s25c, 110IF/GE) to Hegnar Rumbleshot.

• Sell junk to Hegnar Rumbleshot, then continue southwest to Coldridge Valley, checking for Earthroot along the hillsides.

When you get to the tunnel, stealth/pick pocket/kill Rockjaw Raiders until you exit out the other side.

COLDRIDGE VALLEY

• Go northwest into Anvilmar and get Bring Back the Mug from Durnan Furcutter.

• Go southwest back to the Troll Cave and zoom in your camera to better see your way inside the cave tunnels.

• Stealth your way through the cave along the left side, then kill any roving patrols that might wander near the boss, Grik'nir the Cold.

• Stealth up to Grik'nir the Cold, use Evasion and quickly kill/loot him, then kill any other adds who jump into the battle. If you don't already have it, get the Rune of Shadowstrike from the Frostmane Loot Cache on the ledge to the left of Grik'nir the Cold.

• Stealth your way back out of the cave to turn in The Stolen Journal (550xp, weapon, 165IF, 220GE) to Grelin Whitebeard and get Senir's Observations.

• Turn in Bring Back the Mug (450xp, 50c, 110IF/GE) to Nori Pridedrift, or if you didn't get it earlier, get Scalding Mornbrew Delivery.

• If you just got Scalding Mornbrew Delivery, quickly return northeast to Anvilmar to turn it in, get Bring Back the Mug, then return to Nori Pridedrift to turn it in.

• Go northest back to Anvilmar.

• Sell junk, turn in Thrice Stolen (85xp, Cracked Leather Gloves, 55IF/GE) to Solm Hargrin, then go northeast up the trail back towards the tunnel that leaves Coldridge Valley.

• Turn in Senir's Observations (340xp, 82IF/GE) to Mountaineer Thalos and get Senir's Observations Pt. 2.

• Get Supplies to Tannok from Hands Springsprocket.

DUN MOROGH

• Stealth/pick pocket/kill Rockjaw Raiders on your way north back through the tunnel, then go northwest to Brewnall Village.

• Turn in Evershine (160xp, 28IF/GE) to Rejold Barleybrew, get A Favor for Evershine, The Perfect Stout and Bitter Rivals from Marleth Barleybrew, then sell junk.

• Kill/loot/skin all Ice Claw Bears, Elder Crag Boars and Snow Leopards as you complete the next few steps.

• Go east past Iceflow Lake, then go up the path to Shimmer Ridge. At the top of the mountain, go right (southeast) towards the troll village.

Be very careful. These trolls run for help when they get low on health, and it's easy to get overwhelmed (especially with the casters firing at you from a distance), so you'll need to start slow and end fast. Pick an isolated troll, kite them away from any adds, hit them with a couple of Sinister Strikes, or preferably Saber Slashes, then whittle them down with autoattacks while your energy recharges. Once recharged, unleash a couple more Sinister Strikes (Saber Slashes) and finish them off with an Eviscerate before they get a chance to run off. Saber Slash is a very good ability for this tactic, as the bleed can help whittle them down and virtually guarantee that they die before they can get away and bring back any adds. If you get in trouble at any point, pop Evasion, use your Minor Healing Potions, and Gouge/Bandage (these trolls drop Linen Cloth to make Linen Bandages).

• Continue to carefully kill/loot Frostmane trolls and get Shimmerweed from Shimmerweed Baskets.

Level 10: Imp. Sinister Strike 1/2, Dun Morogh quests

• Once you're done, carefully make your way down the steep south side of the mountain into Chill Breeze Valley.

• Go west, then southwest through the cluster of trees into another valley towards Old Icebeard's cave, watching carefully for Old Icebeard.

• When you reach the clearing outside Old Icebeard's cave, go north up the mountain path and get Tundra MacGrann's Stolen Stash from Tundra MacGrann.

• Go back down the mountainside, wait patiently (up to 6 minutes) for Old Icebeard to leave the cave, loot the Old Meat Locker and return to Tundra MacGrann.

• Turn in Tundra MacGrann's Stolen Stash (900xp, armor, 110IF/GE), then drop down the north side of the mountain and go northwest to Brewnall Village.

• Turn in The Perfect Stout (775xp, Goat Fur Cloak, 110IF/GE) to Rejold Barleybrew, but SKIP Shimmer Stout (for now).

• Hearth to Kharanos.

KHARANOS

• Turn in Supplies to Tannok (110xp, 5 Tough Jerky, 27IF/GE) to Tannok Frosthammer.

• Sell junk, save all meat, buy one Thunder Ale from Inkeeper Belm, then go through the doorway to the left into the basement of the Inn.

• Click the Guarded Thunder Ale Barrel, click Jarven Thunderbrew, then wait for the Unguarded Thunder Ale Barrel to appear.

• Click on the Unguarded Thunder Ale Barrel to turn in Bitter Rivals (140xp, 28IF/GE), get Return to Marleth, then go back upstairs.

• OPTIONAL: Get Road to Salvation from the Rogue Trainer, Hogral Bakkan. Note: This quest gives no rep, but does lead to a nice dagger, Blade of Cunning.

• Train skills (Dual Wielding, Sprint, Slice and Dice, Sap) for 12s.

Sprint is a very helpful ability, one that can be used offensively to quickly close in on enemies, defensively to bolt away from dangerous situations, or you can just use it to cover long distances every 5 minutes and speed along your overall leveling progression. Slice and Dice is a finishing move mostly used for raiding, but can also be helpful in longer battles while leveling. Sap is your long-duration creature control (CC) ability, allowing you to separate individuals from groups and control the battlefield. After using Sap, be ready to fight any other mob that's nearby, as you'll be immediately pulled out of stealth when you use it.

• Put the skills on your action bars and equip the Thistlewood Dagger in your offhand. You can now finally put your Mutilate rune on a set of gloves and start using Mutilate with two daggers.

• Get Rejold's New Brew (the breadcrumb quest which precedes Shimmer Stout) from Tharek Blackstone across from the inn.

• Turn in Senir's Observations Pt. 2 (340xp, 82IF/GE) to Senir Whitebeard south of the inn, get Frostmane Hold, then sprint northeast to Steelgrill's Depot.

• Turn in The Grizzled Den (625xp, 1s75c, 110IF/GE) to Pilot Stonegear.

DUN MOROGH

• Go back east to Brewnall Village, killing/looting/skinning Ice Claw Bears, Elder Crag Boars and Snow Leopards along the way.

• Return to Brewnall Village and turn in Return to Marleth (625xp, 1s75c, 110IF/GE) to Marleth.

• Turn in Rejold's New Brew (85xp, Mug of Shimmer Stout, 11IF/GE) to Rejold Barleybrew and get Shimmer Stout.

• Sell junk (including the Mug of Shimmer Stout), then go northwest and kill/loot Leper Gnomes until you've gathered 8 Restabilization Cogs and 8 Gyromechanic Gears. Much like with the Frostmane Trolls, you'll want to play carefully here, because these Leper Gnomes will run off to grab adds when their health gets low.

• Finish killing/looting/skinning Ice Claw Bears, Elder Crag Boars and Snow Leopards, then return to Brewnall Village. You may want to group up with someone to get this completed quicker.

• Turn in A Favor for Evershine (525xp, 83IF/GE) to Rejold Barleybrew and get Return to Bellowfiz.

Level 11: Imp. Sinister Strike 2/2, weapon upgrade, Elwynn Forest quests

• Go west to Frostmane Hold.

• Zoom in your camera and carefully stealth your way through the cave, killing lone Frostmane Headhunters and completing the exploration quest. This is another quest that might benefit from grouping up.

If you're going into the cave solo, Sap will come in very handy here, allowing you to incapacitate one mob while you focus on another. Try to kill the 5 Frostmane Headhunters before you go too deep into the caves. Once you've killed all 5, carefully stealth your way through the caves until you complete the exploration portion of the mission. If you make a mistake and drop out of stealth before completing the exploration, pop Sprint and Evasion and race through the caves to get that done before you die. If you die, you should rez back at Kharanos, which is where you want to end up anyway.

KHARANOS

• Hearth or return east to Kharanos, sell junk (but not meat) and buy as many Rhapsody Malt from Inkeeper Belm as you have Crag Boar Ribs.

• Go outside the inn and turn in Frostmane Hold (600xp, armor, 82IF/GE) to Senir Whitebeard and get The Reports.

• Go north to turn in Operation Recombobulation (850xp, Driving Gloves, 110IF/GE) to Razzle Sprysprocket in the building with the spinning gear on top.

• Go east to Steelgrill's Depot to turn in Return to Bellowfiz (875xp, weapon, 165IF/GE) to Pilot Bellowfiz.

• Sprint north to Ironforge.

IRONFORGE

• Put all Rhapsody Malt, Crag Boar Ribs, any other cookable meat (except 4 Chunks of Boar Meat), map pieces, and any other items you want to save in the bank, but try to sell enough loot to get to 35s to learn One Handed Swords (10s) and to buy a decent sword (20-25s) unless you already picked one up during your adventures.

• Also put Senir's Report, the Amethyst Phial and the Barrel of Shimmer Stout in the bank to free up bag space until you turn them in later.

• Turn in Waylaid Supplies (70xp-110xp, 1s-5s, 110ACA) or A Full Shipment (90xp, 15s, 495ACA) to Tamelyn Aldridge standing outside the AH. Try to complete the shipment if you can afford to do so, but make sure you have 35s left over for your sword and sword training.

• Go to the Forlorn Cavern near the Rogue Trainers. Get yourself prepared, loot the Rune of Precision from the Dusty Chest, pop Evasion and kill the two Cut-throat Muggers that appear. Apply Between the Eyes to your pants.

• Check the AH to see if you can find a better or comparable mainhand sword or mace (Redridge Machete, Cranial Thumper, Weighted Sap) that you can equip at your level for less silver than Feral Blade (24s7c, 12-24 Damage, 6.9 DPS). You can always check my Twink Weapons Chart to compare most weapons as you're leveling. If you find a good mace on the AH, then go to Timberline Arms on the south side of Military Ward to train in One-handed maces (10s) from Buliwyf Stonehand.

• If you still need bags, check the AH for any bags that cost less than 5s.

For extra convenience, you should make a level 1 character and run them to a capital city to be your bank alt to buy/sell goods, mail stuff back and forth, provide extra storage space for your main, etc. Note: Mail takes one hour in Classic so keep that in mind when sending items and money back and forth. The exception to this rule is when returning mail previously sent to you, which happens instantly.

• If you plan to purchase Feral Blade, take a gryphon flight to Thelsamar in Loch Modan (1s10c), otherwise, take the free Deeprun Tram to Stormwind City.

THELSAMAR

• Buy a Feral Blade (24s7c) or Enamelled Broadsword (28s77c) from Morhan Coppertongue outside the first building on the left.

Those are two of the better weapons you can wield at your level. However, if they're sold out or you can't afford either of them, you'll still have other options.

• Take a gryphon flight to Stormwind City (1s60c).

STORMWIND CITY

• Set your hearthstone in the Stormwind City Inn.

• Visit Woo Ping in The Trade District to train in One-Handed Swords (10s). If you couldn't get a Feral Blade (or equivalent), then buy a Cutlass (20s23c) from Gunther or Marda. If you can't afford a sword, then you'll have one more chance at a decent sword in Elwynn Forest. Hold onto your daggers until you get your swords skill leveled up. In any case, you'll continue using one of them in your offhand until you find a better replacement.

If you have plenty of silver leftover, go learn Journeyman Fishing (5s) from Arnold Leland located in the Canals west of the AH, and learn Journeyman Herbalism (5s) from Tannysa in the Mage Quarter (don't upgrade Skinning yet). You can also buy a 12 slot Herb Pouch (10s) from Eldraeith to manage all of your herbs. As far as consumables are concerned, EZ-Thro Dynamite is great for AoE damage, so see if you can get some cheaply off the AH or from an Engineer. Also, Adair Gilroy in the northeast Mage Quarter outside The Stockade sells scrolls that can help in your adventures. Charys Yserian in the western Mage Quarter sells Healing Potions (3s) that you can start using at level 12.

• If you haven't already gotten your Between the Eyes Rune, go north to the canal side of The Dwarven District, then through the open building to Cut-Throat Alley. Turn right and go up to the top floor of the building at the end of the street. Get yourself prepared (you haven't skilled up with Swords yet, so probably best to stick to your daggers for now), loot the Rune of Precision from the Dusty Chest, pop Evasion and kill the two Cut-throat Muggers that appear. Apply Between the Eyes to your pants.

• Return east, while killing kobolds, to Billy Maclure at The Maclure Vineyards to turn in Back to Billy (140xp, 27SW) and get Goldtooth.

• Go west to Fargodeep Mine and make your way through the mine killing/looting kobolds as you complete all quests.

By the time you reach Goldtooth, you should have most or all of the 8 Large Candles and 10 Gold Dust that you need.

• Use Evasion, kill/loot Goldtooth, then finish off any adds. Finish killing kobolds for 8 Large Candles and 10 Gold Dust.

• Exit the mine and go west to turn in Goldtooth (875xp, Lion-stamped Gloves, 165SW) to "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield.

• Pick herbs on your way back to Goldshire.

• Go east around the northern side of Crystal Lake while picking herbs to pickpocket/kill Murlocs for 4 Crystal Kelp Frond.

• If you still need a sword, or want a second sword (without having to buy it), then go northeast around the mountainrange to Stone Cairn Lake. Search the gnoll camps on the northwestern side of the lake for the rare gnoll, Fedfennel. He has a chance to drop the Cutlass-equivalent Pale Skinner sword as well as an 8 slot bag.

You'll want to have 6+ Earthroot, 11+ Peacebloom, and 21+ Silverleaf by the time you return to Teldrassil. You can find Earthroot along the hills just to the north of Crystal Lake. Once you're done, make your way back southwest to Goldshire.

GOLDSHIRE

• Go into the inn and turn in Collecting Kelp (320xp, 55SW) to William Pestle, wait a few seconds, then get The Escape.

• OPTIONAL: Get the quest Seek out SI: 7 from the Rogue Trainer, Keryn Sylvius, upstairs. Note: This quest gives no rep, but does lead to a nice dagger, Blade of Cunning.

ELWYNN FOREST

• Go south to the Maclure Vineyard, while picking herbs, to turn in The Escape (800xp, 5 Minor Healing Potion, 165SW) to Maybell Maclure.

• Hearth to Stormwind City.

STORMWIND CITY

• Sell junk and deposit any items you want to keep long term in the bank. Put the Delivery to Mathias in the bank.

• Turn in Shipment to Stormwind (800xp, 3s50c, 15 Explosive Rocket, 165SW) to Morgan Pestle in The Trade District.

• Put the Explosive Rockets on your action bar and save them for tough battles against multiple enemies.

Level 12: Lightning Reflexes 1/5, choose professions, level 7-9 Teldrassil quests

• Turn in Waylaid Supplies (70xp-110xp, 1s-5s, 110ACA) or A Full Shipment (80xp-180xp, 6s-20s, 330ACA-495ACA) to Elaine Compton standing outside the AH.

• Visit Osborne the Night Man in the SI:7 Headquarters near Old Town to get new skills (Kick/Parry) for 16s and put Kick on your action bar.

Use Kick on spellcasters when they're casting powerful spells with long casting times, and use it at the last possible second for maximum effect. To see what spell your enemy is casting, go to Options, Interface, then scroll down to the Display section and click Show Enemy Cast Bar. Parry, on the other hand, is a passive ability that increases your ability to avoid melee attacks from the front, and really shines when you get Riposte. If you have any level 12 Healing Potions, put them on your action bar.

• Visit the various profession trainers to level up any of your professions, but not Skinning because you'll be dropping it again soon. Try to save about 5s for gryphon flights.

• If you can afford it, buy a Strong Fishing Pole (8s10c) from Catherine Leland located in the canal area to replace the one in your bank.

• Visit the bank, drop off map pieces and anything you want to save and get out your fishing pole.

• Take a gryphon flight for 50c or the free Deeprun Tram to Ironforge.

IRONFORGE

• Set your hearthstone in the Ironforge Inn.

• Take a gryphon flight to Menethil Harbor in Wetlands (3s30c).

MENETHIL HARBOR

• Two different vendors in Menethil Harbor sell Healing Potions (3s), Samor Festivus on the top floor of the inn and Dewin Shimmerdawn in the house next to the northern dock.

• If you still need it, buy a Strong Fishing Pole (8s10c) from Stuart Fleming on the dock.

• Go around Menethil Harbor looking for pools of Floating Wreckage.

• When you're done fishing for loot, go out to the right (northern) dock to Auberdine in Darkshore. While waiting for the ship, get in some more fishing.

AUBERDINE

• Check for pools of Floating Wreckage around the dock, then go into Auberdine to get the FP and fly to Rut'Theran Village (for free even).

RUT'THERAN VILLAGE

• Take the glowing teleporter to Darnassus.

DARNASSUS

• Cook and/or drop off all extra fish at the bank.

• Sell junk and clear out your bags as much as possible. Try to sell enough loot to get to at least 15s-40s.

If you have 40+ silver, upgrade your ranged weapon to bows, otherwise save your silver for skills.

• Go east to the Warrior's Terrace and learn the Bows skill for 10s from Ilyenia Moonfire.

• If you can afford it and want a more powerful ranged weapon, buy a Laminated Recurve Bow (17s52c) and Sharp Arrows (50c) from Ariyell Skyshadow nearby. Replace Throw with Shoot Bows on your action bar and get rid of your throwing daggers.

The more powerful ranged weapon will really help with taking down runners before they aggro more mobs.

• Go east out of Darnassus to Teldrassil.

TELDRASSIL

• Head southeast to Lake Al'Ameth, picking herbs and killing/looting/skinning all gray skinnable mobs along the way.

From this point forward, treat all gray skinnable mobs as easy critter kills for quick loot and skins. Also, if your Herbalism is 50+, you'll be able to pick Mageroyal now, so save all Swiftthistle you get from those plants for eventually making Thistle Teas.

• Go around the east end of the lake, pickpocketing/killing/looting level 5/6 Timberlings and using time between kills to collect sprouts/herbs as you heal.

• Return to Denalan to turn in Timberling Seeds (650xp, food, 110D) and Timberling Sprouts (800xp, armor, 3s50c, 165D) and get Rellian Greenspyre.

• Return northwest to Dolanaar, picking herbs along the way.

DOLANAAR

Once you have 6+ Earthroot, 11+ Peacebloom and 21+ Silverleaf, it's time to switch professions again (at least temporarily) to complete another reputation quest.

• Click on your character's Skills tab, select Skinning (or Mining if you switched to that) and click the red "cancel" icon to drop that profession.

• Go to the small house by the cooks in Dolanaar and learn Alchemy from Cyndra Kindwhisper.

• Go north across the road and up to the second floor of the tree to buy 40 Empty Vials (1s52c) from Narret Shadowgrove.

• Craft 6 Elixir of Lion's Strength, 2 Elixir of Minor Defense and 11 Minor Healing Potions to reach skill level 20 for a Darnassus rep quest.

• Go back outside the tree and turn in Elixirs for the Bladeleafs (700xp, 6 Earthroot, 6 Mageroyal, 2s25c, 110D) to Syral Bladeleaf.

• Return to Cyndra Kindwhisper to learn Weak Troll's Blood Potion, then keep a stack of each herb and Empty Vials to make potions as needed.

At this point, you have an important decision to make - - What do you want your leveling professions to be? Assuming as a Rogue that you want to keep Herbalism for Swiftthistle (Thistle Tea) and Fadeleaf (Blind), what about your 2nd profession? Would you rather have the increased short term income from Herbalism/Skinning, allowing you to sell extra herbs and skins as you level? Or would you rather be self sufficient long term with Herbalism/Alchemy, able to make your own potions and elixirs for leveling and raiding?

The current benefits of Alchemy (50 Armor, 4 Strength, Regen 2 Health/5 sec, and 70-91 instant heals) definitely make it worth consideration. Those potions and elixirs can be very helpful for buffing you up and keeping you alive in tough situations. Eventually, you can craft stronger potions and elixirs including Agility, Water Breathing, resistance/protection potions and raiding flasks. On the downside, you'll no longer get the increased income from selling skins and herbs and would need to seek out and buy Alchemy recipes. Picking Alchemy also means dedicating bag space for herbs/vials/potions, which is a significant hassle to deal with while leveling.

I recommend dropping Alchemy for Skinning as you level, allowing you to sell all skins and herbs (other than Swiftthistle and Fadeleaf). If you decide on Skinning (there is no Mining in Teldrassil), make as many potions as you need, then drop Alchemy and learn Skinning again from Radnaal Maneweaver near the bridge on the road back to Darnassus. If you decide to keep Alchemy, sell your Skinning Knife, save all Minor Healing Potions (along with Briarthorn which you won't see for a while) to make Lesser Healing Potions at skill level 55+, then mail and/or bank any extra herbs (and all Alchemy-related fish) to level up later on.

• Sell all unneeded Minor Healing Potions and other stuff you don't need to free up space in your bags.

TELDRASSIL

• Go east and around to the northern side of Starbreeze Village to pick pocket/kill Gnarlpine Mystics and kill Ferocitas the Dream Eater.

These Furbolgs are a bit tougher than the Furbolgs at Starbreeze Village, so buff up, be careful and pull individual mobs with your ranged weapon. Gnarlpine Mystics will run and bring back help, so after your initial attack, let your energy refill as your autoattacks whittle them down. When their health starts to get low, unleash Sinister Strike/Eviscerate to finish them off before they run away and aggro more Furbolgs. When you've killed 6 of 7 Gnarlpine Mystics, it's time to fight Ferocitas who is guarded by the final 7th Gnarlpine Mystic you'll need.

• Stealth up, use Evasion, quickly kill the Gnarlpine Mystic, then kill Ferocitas, using a Healing Potion/Severed Voodoo Claw if needed.

• Loot the Gnarlpine Necklace from Ferocitas and open it to get Tallonkai's Jewel.

• Follow the mountains to the northwest, picking herbs, past Dolanaar into a narrow valley that leads to a cave to the north called Fel Rock.

• Zoom in your camera and carefully stealth and pickpocket your way through the cave, going right and up the slope past all enemies until you find Lord Melenas on a balcony.

• When you're ready, use Evasion and a Healing Potion/Severed Voodoo Claw if needed to kill Lord Melenas and loot his head and the Rune of Mutilation if you haven't already gotten it.

• Stealth and pickpocket your way back out of the cave. And/or pickpocket/kill gray, level 6+ sprites/grells on your way back. If you don't have a Waylaid Supplies crate by this point, consider quickly plowing through a bunch of gray level 6+ mobs until you get one. Anytime you return to a capital city (SW/IF/Darnassus), you'll want to turn in one of those shipments to keep working on your ACA rep.

• Return south to Dolanaar.

DOLANAAR

• Turn in Twisted Hatred (625xp, Feral Bracers, 110D) and Ferocitas the Dream Eater (875xp, 4s50c, 165D) to Tallonkai Swiftroot at the top of the tree.

TELDRASSIL

• Go west while picking herbs, then stop off at the Leatherworking/Skinning house by the bridge if you need to learn Skinning again. Make the last few potions you need before you drop Alchemy.

• Go southwest, while skinning/picking herbs and avoiding mobs, to the Pools of Arlithrien, then continue further south to Gnarlpine Hold and get The Glowing Fruit from the glowing Strange Fruited Plant.

• If you haven't already gotten your Between the Eyes Rune, go further south to pickpocket Gnarlpine Avengers and Gnarlpine Pathfinders for the Gnarlpine Stash Key. Then go further south out onto a limb to find the Gnarlpine Stash. Get yourself prepared, loot the Rune of Precision from the Gnarlpine Stash, pop Evasion and kill the two furbolgs that appear. Apply Between the Eyes to your pants.

• Go north, while skinning/picking herbs and avoiding mobs, back to the road, then west to Darnassus.

DARNASSUS

Go southwest to Tradesmen's Terrace and visit the AH. Check prices for the following items to see if it's more profitable to vendor or sell them on the AH (vendor prices listed below):

Stack of Ruined Leather Scraps: 1.4s
Stack of Light Leather: 3s
Stack of Peacebloom: 2s
Stack of Silverleaf: 2s
Stack of Earthroot: 4s
Stack of Mageroyal: 4s

Keep that information in mind as you continue gathering those items. Will it be worth it to you to use up bag space holding items while waiting to return to the AH or would you just be better off vendoring them every chance you get? To make those decisions even easier, get an Auction addon that can quickly provide that pricing information for you.

• Turn in Waylaid Supplies (70xp-110xp, 1s-5s, 110ACA) or A Full Shipment (80xp-180xp, 6s-20s, 330ACA-495ACA) to Marcy Baker standing outside the AH.

• Go northwest to the Cenarion Enclave, turn in Rellian Greenspyre (320xp, 55D) to Rellian Greenspyre and get Tumors.

• Visit the various profession trainers to level up any of your professions.

• If you were unable to upgrade to bows earlier, go to the Warrior's Terrace and do so now.

• If you have plenty of leftover silver, upgrade to 8 slot bags. You can buy Brown Leather Satchels for 25s each from Ellandrieth in the Tradesmen's Terrace, but you can probably get cheaper 8 slot Woolen or Leather bags on the AH.

• Sell junk and clear out your bags as much as possible.

• Visit the bank and drop off map pieces and anything you want to save. If you replaced any of your 6 slot bags with an 8 slot bag, consider buying a bank slot and using your old 6 slot bag in that slot. Get the Amethyst Phial out.

• Go east out of Darnassus back to Teldrassil.

TELDRASSIL

• Go northeast to Wellspring Lake.

• Make your way around Wellspring Lake and north along Wellspring River, pickpocketing/killing/looting all level 8-10 Timberling Tramplers and Timberling Mire Beasts for 5 Mossy Tumors.

As you head north up the river, keep an eye out for the rare Blackmoss the Fetid who drops the Moss-twined Heart, a Darnassus rep quest item. Blackmoss the Fetid has a 2 hour respawn and appears along the river near the crescent shaped rise northeast of the river on your map. If you want to, camp by Blackmoss' spawn point and work on leveling your fishing in the river while waiting for him to appear.

• Once Blackmoss the Fetid appears, kill him and loot the Moss-twined Heart. Don't accept the quest The Moss-twined Heart until later.

• When you're done waiting, go west to the Oracle Glade (you can always check back for Blackmoss the Fetid later) and fill the Amethyst Phial in the moonwell.

• Go northwest and get The Shimmering Frond from the glowing Strange Fronded Plant.

• Die to a mob west of the road and rez back in Darnassus (or just walk back to save the repair costs).

DARNASSUS

• If it's available, get Nessa Shadowsong from Mydrannul in eastern Darnassus. Note: Not available to Humans.

• Turn in Waylaid Supplies (70xp-110xp, 1s-5s, 110ACA) or A Full Shipment (80xp-180xp, 6s-20s, 330ACA-495ACA) to Marcy Baker standing outside the AH.

• Go northwest to the Cenarion Enclave and turn in Tumors (975xp, 6s, Pruning Knife, 165D, 41Sp) to Rellian Greenspyre and get Return to Denalan.

• Sell junk and repair, then go east out of Darnassus back to Teldrassil.

TELDRASSIL

• Go east past the Leatherworking/Skinning house until you reach the bridge, where you'll drop down and go southeast into the valley of Ban'ethil Hollow.

• Kill 6 Gnarlpine Ambushers, then go southwest past more Furbolgs into the Ban'ethil Barrow Den.

These caves are often referred to as the suicide caves, but with your higher level, skills, consumables and gear, you can easily solo this area now. Trying to stealth through these caves at level 9/10 with daggers is a very frustrating experience compared to level 12/13 with a sword. However, just to be safe, you may still want to group up for these caves since it's easy to make a mistake and get overwhelmed by multiple furbolgs.

• Buff up and stealth your way south and down into the den until you reach two bridges.

• If you don't already have your Slaughter from the Shadows Rune, keep an eye out for a Gnarlpine Cache which should have a Rune of Slaughter inside.

• Go across each bridge, pickpocket/kill furbolgs and loot the chests for the Rune of Nesting and Black Feather Quill.

• Go down a level and through the tunnel going southwest deeper into the caves until you reach another bridge. Go across and pickpocket/kill any Furbolgs.

• Get The Sleeping Druid from Oben Rageclaw, then stealth through the tunnels pickpocketing/killing/looting all Gnarlpine Shaman for the Shaman Voodoo Charm while you complete the next step.

• From Oben Rageclaw, go down a level southeast through a tunnel where you'll reach Greenpaw and his guards, who are guarding another chest.

• Use Sap and Evasion to defeat them, then loot that chest for the Sapphire of Sky.

• Continue killing/looting all Gnarlpine Shamans for the Shaman Voodoo Charm, then make your way back to Oben Rageclaw. If you're having trouble finding Gnarlpine Shamans, go to the surface where you will encounter more of them. Just make sure you follow the detailed instructions listed above to find your way back to Oben Rageclaw. Alternatively, you might want to group with one or more others on the same quest and just blast your way through all Furbolgs until you get the Shaman Voodoo Charm and complete the next steps of the questline together.

• Turn in The Sleeping Druid (700xp, 110D) to Oben Rageclaw and get Druid of the Claw.

• From Oben Rageclaw, go down a level, then north through the lower tunnel until you reach a donut-shaped room at the northern end of the den.

• Rageclaw patrols this circular area, so carefully pull single Furbolgs to clear out a safe area to fight him alone.

• Use Evasion and a Healing Potion/Severed Voodoo Claw if needed to kill Rageclaw. DO NOT FORGET to use the Voodoo Charm on his dead body.

• From the south side of that circular room, go up the ramp onto a platform, across the eastern bridge and up a narrow tunnel past Furbolgs.

• At the end of the narrow tunnel going up, you'll reach the final chest on a balcony, where you'll loot the Raven Claw Talisman.

• Drop down from that balcony and return south all the way back through the lower tunnel and up the ramp on your left to Oben Rageclaw.

• Turn in Druid of the Claw (1,050xp, Brushwood Blade, 165D) to Oben Rageclaw and equip your new sword (which straps across your back!)

Level 13: Lightning Reflexes 2/5, Teldrassil/Dun Morogh quests

• From Oben Rageclaw, stealth your way back across the bridge and straight through the southeast tunnel and up ramps out of the caves, back up to the surface.

• Leave Ban'ethil Barrow Den and go northeast back to the road.

• Take the main road east to turn in The Road to Darnassus (700xp, 2s25c, 110D) to Moon Priestess Amara, then go further east to Dolanaar.

DOLANAAR

• Turn in The Relics of Wakening (775xp, weapon, 3s, 110D) to Athridas Bearmantle and get Ursal the Mauler.

• If you've reached 40 in First Aid, learn Heavy Linen Bandage from Byancie inside the tree, make them and put them on your bar, then sell your regular Linen Bandages.

• OPTIONAL: Go across the road into the inn and get The Apple Falls from Jannok Breezesong. (You can get more than one Rogue class quest, but they do not give any rep.)

• Turn in Crown of the Earth Pt. 5 (650xp, 82D) to Corithras Moonrage outside the inn and get Crown of the Earth Pt. 6.

TELDRASSIL

• Go southeast to Denalan at Lake Al'Ameth, pickpocketing/killing all gray, level 6+ mobs along the way for Waylaid Supplies.

• DO NOT turn in The Moss-twined Heart yet. You'll be saving that quest for later.

• Turn in The Glowing Fruit (850xp, 3s50c, 110D) to Denalan and kill the 3 Boglings that appear for their Bogling Roots.

• Turn in The Shimmering Frond (850xp, 3s50c, 110D) and click on the Sprouted Frond in the planter to complete The Sprouted Fronds (85xp, 5 Sprouted Fronds, 11D). Put the Sprouted Fronds on your bar and you can use them to heal you in battle, and they don't share a cooldown with healing potions.

• Turn in Return to Denalan (80xp, 11D) and get Oakenscowl.

• Go west to the small cave at southwest Lake Al'Ameth, while pickpocketing/killing all gray, level 6+ mobs along the way for Waylaid Supplies, then pull single timberlings until Oakenscowl is mostly alone.

• Buff up and kill/loot Oakenscowl, using Evasion, a Severed Voodoo Claw, a Bogling Root, a Sprouted Frond and a Healing Potion if necessary.

• Return east, while pickpocketing/killing all gray, level 6+ mobs along the way for Waylaid Supplies, to turn in Oakenscowl (975xp, 6s, armor, 165D) to Denalan.

• Hearth to Ironforge.

IRONFORGE

• Turn in Waylaid Supplies (70xp-110xp, 1s-5s, 110ACA) or A Full Shipment (80xp-180xp, 6s-20s, 330ACA-495ACA) to Tamelyn Aldridge standing outside the AH.

• Sell junk, then go to the bank and get out Senir's Report and the Barrel of Shimmer Stout while depositing map pieces, the Moss-twined Heart, the Filled Vessel and Jannok's Rose.

OPTIONAL: If doing Supplying the Front and Gearing Redridge, get a stack of Rough Stone and all Copper Ore out of the bank, go to the center of The Great Forge, drop Skinning for Blacksmithing, make 20 Rough Sharpening Stones and/or Rough Weightstones (which require Linen Cloth), then drop Blacksmithing for Mining (learn from Geofram Bouldertoe in the Deep Mining Guild building just to the north), smelt Copper Ore into Copper Bars (to skill back up), learn Journeyman Mining from Geofram Bouldertoe, put the Copper Bars in the bank, then continue mining ore and stone until level 17. Use the Rough Sharpening Stones and/or Rough Weightstones on your weapons until you get poisons (and even after that save them for poison immune mobs).

• Turn in The Reports (420xp, 1s75c, 55IF/GE) to Senator Barin Redstone in the southwestern section of the Great Forge.

• Go southwest to Timberline Arms on the south side of Military Ward to train in One-handed maces (10s) and Guns (10s) from Buliwyf Stonehand (if you haven't already).

• If you want a better ranged weapon, check the AH, or go downstairs and buy a Hunter's Boomstick (13s24c) and Heavy Shot (50c) from Thalgus Thunderfist, then replace Throw with Shoot Guns on your action bar.

• Visit the various profession trainers to level up any of your professions.

• If your Skinning is 50+ and you plan to continue with that gathering profession throughout your travels, then go learn Journeyman Skinning from Balthus Stoneflayer on the northwest side of The Great Forge.

• Check the AH for a better mainhand weapon if you need one (you'll be getting Compact Hammer from a quest soon).

• Go out the Gates of Ironforge to Dun Morogh.

DUN MOROGH

• Go southeast to Gol'Bolar Quarry, picking herbs and skinning critters, while pickpocketing/killing all gray, level 6+ mobs along the way for Waylaid Supplies.

• Get the quests The Public Servant from Senator Mehr Stonehallow and Those Blasted Troggs! from Foreman Stonebrow.

Be careful with these two quests. These troggs have a knockdown ability and always run for help when they get low on health.

• Buff up, go down into the quarry, zoom in your camera and carefully pick pocket/kill all troggs inside the cave.

Pick an isolated trogg, pick pocket, Sinister Strike, Slice and Dice, and whittle them down with autoattacks while your energy recharges. Draw them away from adds, unleash two Sinister Strikes and finish them off with an Eviscerate before they get a chance to run off.

• Turn in The Public Servant (650xp, 3s, 82IF/GE) to Senator Mehr Stonehallow and Those Blasted Troggs! (600xp, 2s, 83IF/GE) to Foreman Stonebrow.

• Sell all junk, then head northeast along the road, picking herbs and skinning critters, while pickpocketing/killing all gray, level 6+ mobs along the way for Waylaid Supplies to North Gate Pass.

• Continue through the tunnel into North Gate Outpost, then get the quest The Lost Pilot from Pilot Hammerfoot.

• Go northwest up the road until you reach The Dwarven Corpse, turn in The Lost Pilot (420xp, armor, 55IF/GE) and accept A Pilot's Revenge.

• Head west up the hill past The Dwarven Corpse and defeat Mangeclaw.

• Return to Pilot Hammerfoot to turn in A Pilot's Revenge (650xp, Compact Hammer, 82IF/GE). You can use that hammer to level up your Maces skill.

• Go back south, then east through South Gate Pass to South Gate Outpost.

• Turn in Shimmer Stout (420xp, 55IF/GE) to Mountaineer Barleybrew and get Stout to Kadrell.

• Continue east into Loch Modan.

LOCH MODAN

OPTIONAL: If doing Supplying the Front and Gearing Redridge, keep an eye out for Tin Ore that you can mine for Coarse Stone in Loch Modan. Coarse Stone is used to make Coarse Weightstones/Coarse Sharpening Stones to use on your weapons until you get Poisons at level 20.

• Go to the watchtower and get In Defense of the King's Lands from Mountaineer Cobbleflint outside and The Trogg Threat from Captain Rugelfuss inside.

• Go in the Thelsamar Inn and get the quest Thelsamar Blood Sausages from Vidra Hearthstove and sell junk (but save any meat).

You won't be doing the Thelsamar Blood Sausages quest just yet, but if you happen to pick up any Bear Meat, Boar Intestines or Spider Ichor during your travels, hold onto them.

• Go to the eastern building in Thelsamar and get Honor Students from Brock Stoneseeker. Note: Not available to Humans.

• Turn in Honor Students (200xp) to the Thelsamar Gryphon Master and get the quest Ride to Ironforge. Note: Not available to Humans.

IRONFORGE

• Go around to the northern section of the Great Forge to turn in Ride to Ironforge (420xp, 1s75c) to Golnir Bouldertoe and get Gryth Thurden. Note: Not available to Humans.

• Visit the Rogue Trainer to train skills (Sinister Strike Rank 3 and Garrote for 24s, SKIP Expose Armor) and put Garrote on your Stealth bar.

Garrote is an underestimated skill for leveling, one that can be used very effectively to help kill off runners before they bring back adds. Rather than using your ranged weapon to pull single mobs, if you can, safely stealth up to a mob near a group (but not too near), pick pocket, Garrote, then fight them while walking backwards away from the group. By the time the mob decides to run for help, Garrote will help ensure that they die before they get back in time to pull in any adds. It's also useful at the start of long battles against tougher Elite/Rare mobs and any enemies with lots of armor, since the damage bypasses armor. Unfortunately, Garrote doesn't work on all mobs.

If you're on a PVP server, this might be a challenge for you. However, keep in mind that the extra experience you get from killing non-essential mobs while completing non-Alliance quests may cause later Alliance quests to go gray and give you less rep.

If you pull a 2nd or 3rd Murloc, use your Explosive Rockets and pop Evasion and back up a little so they face your dodges from the front.

• Use Evasion to kill Princess, loot her, then finish off her guards.

• Stealth inside the house, sap Surena Caledon and use Evasion to defeat Morgan the Collector and Erlan Drudgemoor, then kill Surena Caledon (these three have a higher chance of dropping the Westfall Deed).

• Repeat the two prior steps until you have 6 Red Linen Bandanas and hopefully the Westfall Deed.

If you can't get the Westfall Deed, then set that quest aside for later, and stick to killing just gray level 8 Defias mobs until level 15. If you keep killing level 9/10 mobs for it now, then you'll end up having other quests turn gray later on at the expense of completing this one quest.

This is the Dwarven version of the level 10 Rogue class questline. Class quests do not give any reputation rewards and the extra experience may cause later rep quests to go gray.

• Buy Brown Leather Satchels from Yanni Stoutheart if you still need them (unless you can get cheaper 8 slot bags on the AH).

LOCH MODAN

• Go west of Thelsamar (or further southeast to Stonesplinter Valley) buff up and kill/loot troggs to complete In Defense of the King's Lands and The Trogg Threat.

Be very careful. These Troggs will gang up on you, some of them throwing daggers from a distance, and you can easily be overwhelmed. Pick an isolated trogg, pick pocket, Garrote, Slice and Dice, and whittle them down with autoattacks while your energy recharges. Draw them away from adds, unleash two Sinister Strikes and finish them off with an Eviscerate before they get a chance to run off. Repeat until both quests are complete.

• Go south to turn in In Defense of the King's Lands (900xp, 5s, 110IF, 28Sp) to Mountaineer Cobbleflint and The Trogg Threat (900xp, 5s, 110IF, 27Sp) to Captain Rugelfuss.

• Put any Crisp Spider Meat and Boar Ribs in the bank to save for a later quest and cooking. Take out any Westfall quest items (Murloc Eyes).

• Take a gryphon flight to Stormwind City, unless you want to complete the optional quests below, in which case, go to the Deeprun Tram in eastern Ironforge.

OPTIONAL: Complete two Deeprun Tram quests. You may want to skip these as neither gives reputation and the extra experience may push some of your later rep quests into gray territory. Get the Deeprun Rat Roundup quest from Monty, round up 5 Deeprun Rats, turn it in (900xp, 0Rep), get Me Brother, Nipsy, then take the Deeprun Tram to Stormwind City to turn that quest in to Nipsy (90xp, 5s, 10 Deeprun Rat Kabob, 0Rep).

STORMWIND CITY

• If you have 47s, visit Woo Ping in The Trade District to train in Crossbows (10s). Buy a Fine Light Crossbow (36s40c) and a stack of Sharp Arrows (50c) from Marda Weller.

Crossbows are slower than other ranged weapons but hit a lot harder, which is great for softening up mobs before they get in melee range. You might want to save a stack of throwing daggers if you ever have a need for faster ranged pulls.

• Buy Healing Potions (3s) from Charys Yserian in the western Mage Quarter.

• If you still need Westfall Deed and/or the Gold Pickup Schedule (both quests are gray now), return to Elwynn Forest.

• Go north to Furlbrow's Pumpkin Farm while picking herbs and killing/looting/skinning boars and vultures.

• Pickpocket/kill/loot all Defias Trappers/Defias Smugglers around the farm and get Furlbrow's Pocket Watch inside the house.

You should be able to pickpocket a Discreet Envelope from those Defias mobs which contains a Message from Emily and an Equipment Stash Key. In order to get your next rune, you'll need to go to the southwestern tip of Westfall, where you'll find the rear exit of The Deadmines up on a hill, located in the Dagger Hills west of Moonbrook. Climb up to that mineshaft exit, and just inside on the left side, you'll find an Equipment Stash. Open it to get your Rune of Blade Dance. You can safely throw away the Message from Emily.

• Turn in The Forgotten Heirloom (900xp, Bread/Milk, 110SW, 28Sp) to Farmer Furlbrow, then finish killing boars and vultures.

Level 17: Deflection 3/5, Westfall/Teldrassil/Darkshore

For the 3 Okra you need, kill gray, lower level Rusty Harvest Golems to avoid getting experience off of higher level Harvest Watchers. If you ever switch to Engineer, save all Flasks of Oil, Handfuls of Copper Bolts, Copper Tubes and Copper Modulators that they drop. Also, save 5 Hops and 5 Flasks of Oil for later quests.

Save all higher level quest turn-ins (Handfuls of Oats, Red Leather Bandanas, Gnoll Paws, Hops, Flasks of Oil) for later.

OPTIONAL: If doing Supplying the Front and Gearing Redridge, you may want to mine some Tin Ore for Coarse Stone in western Westfall (Jangolode Mine/Gold Coast Quarry) before leaving.

• Craft 30-40 Rough Sharpening Stones/Rough Weightstones to skill level 30 (save these for use on your weapons against poison immune mobs), then learn and make 25-30 Rough Grinding Stones to skill level 54.

Make sure you have 6-9 stacks of Light Leather and 6-18 stacks of Ruined Leather Scraps, then drop Skinning, Blacksmithing or Mining for Leatherworking, buy 45 Coarse Thread, convert all Ruined Leather Scraps into Light Leather, make Light Armor Kits until skill level 50, make 5 Small Leather Ammo Pouches, 5 Embossed Leather Gloves, 5 Embossed Leather Boots and 5 Embossed Leather Cloaks to reach skill level 70, turn in the Moonglow Vest quest to Lotherias in the Craftsmens Terrace in Darnassus, drop Leatherworking for Skinning, then powerlevel Skinning back to 50+ on gray mobs in eastern Teldrassil. Or, if you plan on choosing Engineering at some point, you may want to switch back to Mining instead and save all stone and ore for leveling that profession. However, that may require mining/smelting Copper Ore again to get your Mining high enough for Tin/Coarse Stone in the higher level zones.

• Go east to Teldrassil.

TELDRASSIL

You only need 6 Darkshore Grouper, so you can throw out any extra stacks of those as well.

Beware: PVP is back on the menu, and you're the main course. In addition to being a zone with mobs at, or above your level, you are entering contested PVP territory and will be flagged for PVP. If you stay on the road, you can avoid most of the mobs, but then you'll be an easy target for any Horde in the area. So have all of your defensive cooldowns and consumables ready to go in case you get attacked.

If you join in PVP in Ashenvale and help kill a Warsong Outrider combatant during the Battle for Ashenvale World PvP event, you will be able to pickup a Warsong Outrider Mark, which you turn in for the weekly quest Repelling Invaders (2,000xp, 1g20s, Silverwing Battle Hymn, 200SS) to Felore Moonray in the Astranaar Inn. The Silverwing Battle Hymn can be used to ncrease all damage and healing done by 5% for 2 hours. Also, once you reach Friendly with the Silverwing Sentinels, you can purchase a Trainee's Sentinel Nightsaber mount (10g) for use only in Ashenvale.

You should be Friendly by now, so once you can afford it, purchase your Rune of Teasing for 2g, and a 10 slot bag for 45s if you need it (the Courier Treads aren't as good as the Agile Boots you should already have, or can soon get).

Leveling up your Pick Lock skill is just as boring, but also just as useful, as leveling up Fishing. Stand near the two leaning boards in the middle, towards the outer edge of the building, so you don't aggro any nearby spiders. Also, if you move your camera down to floor level looking at three boxes in a near line, you can open a box, clicking every six seconds without having to move your mouse.

If that still doesn't get you to 20, turn in these other quests in the following order, then stop as soon as you reach Level 20 (and don't take any of their follow-up quests): Return to Verner, The Lost Tools, Hilary's Necklace, The Defias Brotherhood (inside the inn), Encroaching Gnolls (by the FP), Messenger to Westfall (Sentinel Hill).

• Carefully stealth into the tower, past several guards, up to the top floor. The guards are all level 23-24, so don't try to fight them solo, and don't be caught in front of them, or they will see you. Be patient, watch their routines, and you can safely get around them.

• Once you reach the top floor of the tower, get behind the elite, Klaven Mortwake, sap him, pick the lock on the chest, take Klaven Mortwake's Journal, then quickly escape from the tower using Spint/Evasion/Healing Potion or die/rez back at Sentinel Hill.

• Sell junk, mail stuff to your bank alt, and empty out your bags as much as possible before heading to Deadmines. The last thing you want is to be worrying about organizing your overflowing bags and throwing out junk on the run in the middle of a dungeon.

• If you haven't already, type /join World and /join LookingForGroup where you can find all sorts of dungeon groups.

• If you're waiting around to join a Deadmines group, go southwest to The Deadmines entrance in Moonbrook to work on Red Silk Bandanas solo.

THE DEADMINES

• From Moonbrook, go into the Deadmines building, down to the mine, and carefully kill single Defias Diggers outside the instance for 10 Red Silk Bandanas.

When faced with elites, use Evasion and Thistle Tea if necessary to defeat them. Don't let runners get away, otherwise you'll need to sprint all the way back outside to escape.

• Return northeast to Sentinel Hill.

SENTINEL HILL

• Turn in Red Silk Bandanas (1,250xp, Solid Shortblade, 110SW, 28Sp) to Scout Riell at the top of the Sentinel Hill tower.

• If you still can't get into a Deadmines group (it can be rough, because Tanks and Healers are in high demand, while DPS are a dime a dozen), try to make your own group, or continue questing and keep an eye on the General/World/LookingForGroup channels.

THE DEADMINES

Your objective in The Deadmines will be to complete all quests and hopefully get one or both weapons upgraded, without getting too much experience in the process. A full quest run through The Deadmines at this level should get you about halfway through your experience bar. If you want even less experience from mobs, you can wait as late as level 23 and still get full reputation credit from your Deadmines quests. When your group is finally formed, make sure to ask that they go kill Foreman Thistlenettle, who is located outside the instance. Loot all undead mobs on your way to him, and you should get the 4 Miners' Union Cards you'll need for the other quest. If your group isn't interested in completing those two quests, you can try to solo or duo them with another player.

• Oh Brother. . . and Collecting Memories are completed just outside the instance down a tunnel on the left side. Kill/loot Foreman Thistlenettle and his undead miners.

• Pickup a Level 25 Waylaid Supplies crate (if you're continuing to Honored with ACA).

• Underground Assault is completed with a quest item drop from Sneed's Shredder.

• The Defias Brotherhood Pt. 7 requires that you get the Head of VanCleef.

• Also, pick up An Unsent Letter from VanCleef's body to start the next questline that leads to The Stockade.

• Your ultimate objective here is to get Cruel Barb from VanCleef. You may want to run the instance more than once for that excellent weapon, since it will last you 5-10 levels.

If you can't get Cruel Barb, Cookie's Tenderizer is still a decent upgrade and Thief's Blade (Mr. Smite) is ideal for your offhand.

• Leave the instance and return northeast to Sentinel Hill.

SENTINEL HILL

• Return northeast to Sentinel Hill (you can die/rez to get back if you have no more Westfall quests other than The Defias Brotherhood Pt. 7).

• Sell junk and make Wool Bandages with all of the Wool Cloth you picked up in Deadmines. When you reach 115 First Aid, go back to a First Aid Trainer to learn Heavy Wool Bandages. When you reach 150, learn Silk Bandages.

• Turn in The Defias Brotherhood Pt. 7 (2,600xp, Tunic of Westfall, 220SW, 55Sp) to Gryan Stoutmantle at Sentinel Hill, equip your chestpiece and apply a Medium Armor Kit.

• If you haven't already, turn in Red Silk Bandanas to Scout Riell at the top of the Sentinel Hill tower.

• If you still need to complete any other Westfall quests, do so now.

OPTIONAL: If you want to continue working on Steamwheedle Cartel reputation, and/or quest in the Wailing Caverns dungeon, take a gryphon flight to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale, then take the ship to Ratchet in The Barrens. Note: You can get 100 Darnassus rep from the end of a questline which begins inside Wailing Caverns.

RATCHET

• Get Samophlange from Sputtervalve by the gryphon master and SKIP Ziz Fizziks.

• Get Southsea Freebooters from Gazlowe, located upstairs in the northern, Engineering Trainer building.

• Get WANTED: Baron Longshore from the sign on the wall to the left of the bank.

• Get Root Samples and Raptor Horns from Mebok Mizzyrix standing west of the bank. SKIP Deepmoss Spider Eggs and Blueleaf Tubers.

• Put Thistlenettle's Badge, the Gnoam Sprecklesprocket and the Unsent Letter in your bank. If you have a Silver Bar, also put that in the bank.

You will be questing in Horde territory again, so watch your back and be ready for some PVP.

• Pick herbs as you go south to kill/loot 12 Southsea Brigands, 6 Southsea Cannoneers and Baron Longshore (if he's around), then return to Ratchet. Each of these pirate kills gives you 5+ Ratchet rep, so feel free to come back later at a higher level and grind them when they're gray if you want more Ratchet rep.

• DO NOT turn in WANTED: Baron Longshore (unless you're already level 25+, then go ahead and turn it in for 21s80c and 22 Ratchet rep), but do turn in Southsea Freebooters (750xp, 75Rat) to Gazlowe in the northern building and get The Missing Shipment.

• Turn in The Missing Shipment (125xp, 10Rat) to Wharfmaster Dizzywig on the dock and get The Missing Shipment Pt. 2 and Miner's Fortune.

• Turn in The Missing Shipment Pt. 2 (125xp, 10Rat) to Gazlowe in the northern building and get Stolen Booty.

• Pick herbs as you return to the southernmost pirate camps to loot from the items marked Drizzlik's Emporium and Fragile - Do Not Drop. If you still need to kill and loot Baron Longshore, then do so now.

• Return north to Ratchet, sell all junk and put the Shipment of Boots, Telescopic Lens and Baron Longshore's Head in the Ratchet bank.

THE BARRENS

• Go to the far northeast, picking all herbs for Root Samples (even if they're gray to you) and killing/looting/skinning Sunscale Scytheclaws, to Boulder Lode Mine.

• Kill/loot low level Venture Co. Enforcers and Venture Co. Overseers for the Cats Eye Emerald.

• Go southwest along the hills, collecting herbs, Root Samples and Intact Raptor Horns, past the Sludge Fen.

• Continue southwest to the Control Console (located at the Venture Company research site which has a distinctive tall chimney east of the Gold Road) to turn in Samophlange (750xp, 75 Rat) and get Samophlange Pt. 2.

• Shut off the three valves on each side of the contraption connected to the Control Console, then turn in Samophlange Pt. 2 (196xp, 50Rat) and get Samophlange Pt. 3.

• Go northeast to kill/loot Tinkerer Sniggles inside the building, then return to the Control Console to turn in Samophlange Pt. 3 (750xp, 75 Rat) and get Samophlange Pt. 4.

• Once you've finished collecting 8 Root Samples and 5 Intact Raptor Horns (more Sunscale Scytheclaws can be found further west across the Gold Road, and they share spawns with Ornery Plainstriders), return to the Sludge Fen.

• Go just south of the letter "G" on your map to find Wizzlecrank's Shredder next to a multilevel platform in a pool of water. You may have to wait around for him to reappear, following a completed escort quest.

• Stealth up to Wizzlecrank's Shredder and get the quest Ignition when he appears.

• Go south across the pool, and stealth up the ramp to the top of the platform to kill/loot Supervisor Lugwizzle.

• Stealth back down and turn in Ignition (1,350xp, 100Rat) to Wizzlecrank's Shredder.

You may have to stealth around and ninja the followup escort quest from Horde players waiting around to do the same quest. Feel free to skip it if you die and can't complete the quest.

• Clear out a path of enemies to the west (or let the Horde do it for you), then get The Escape from Wizzlecrank's Shredder.

• Escort Wizzlecrank's Shredder (staying in stealth as much as possible) to the west until the escort quest is complete (or you die trying).

• Return southeast to Ratchet.

RATCHET

• Sell junk, then get the Shipment of Boots, Telescopic Lens and Baron Longshore's Head out of the Ratchet bank.

• Ask in the General/World/LookingForGroup channels if a Wailing Caverns group is forming that wants to complete all quests and kill the Serpent Lords.

Not many Alliance players run Wailing Caverns (aside from players looking for twink gear) so you may not be able to get a group together. Try doing a /who Wailing command and a /who Barrens command to find interested players and try to join or form a group.

• Turn in Miner's Fortune (1,700xp, Sack of Coins, 150Rat) to Wharfmaster Dizzywig on the dock.

• Turn in The Escape (1,700xp, 20s, Greasy Tinker's Pants, 150Rat) and Samophlange Pt. 4 (920xp, weapon, 100Rat) to Sputtervalve by the gryphon master and get Ziz Fizziks. You can safely throw away the Control Console Operating Manual.

• Get Trouble at the Docks from Crane Operator Bigglefuzz by the gryphon master.

WAILING CAVERNS

• Get Deviate Hides from Nalpak in the cave above the instance entrance.

• Get Deviate Eradication from Ebru in the cave above the instance entrance.

• Sell junk and empty out your bags at the vendor next to Ebru as much as possible before heading into Wailing Caverns.

• Drop down, go into stealth and enter the cavern, following the tunnel around to the right, checking alcoves for the stealthed Mad Magglish. He hides in one of several locations inside the caves, but outside the instance entrance. Once you find him, kill and loot him for the 99-Year-Old Port.

See if you can join a Wailing Caverns group that wants to complete all quests and kill the Serpent Lords. After completing quests and killing all Serpent Lords, speak to the Disciple of Naralex at the instance entrance, escort him to the boss room, kill Mutanus The Devourer and loot the Glowing Shard (which eventually leads to 100 Darnassus rep). Save that final quest turn-in for level 30.

• Turn in Deviate Hides (1,600xp, 18s, Slick Deviate Leggings) to Nalpak in the cave above the instance entrance, then return to Ratchet.

• Turn in Smart Drinks (1,350xp, 10s, 100Rat) to Mebok Mizzyrix standing west of the bank but SKIP Blueleaf Tubers.

• At level 30, turn in In Nightmares (2,000xp, Talbar Mantle, 100D) to Mathrengyl Bearwalker in the Cenarion Enclave in northwestern Darnassus.

• Hearth to Stormwind City.

STORMWIND CITY

• Turn in A Full Shipment (140-200xp, 15-30s, 550-880ACA) to Marcy Baker standing outside the AH.

• If you haven't already, put Thistlenettle's Badge, the Gnoam Sprecklesprocket and the Unsent Letter in your bank. If you have a Silver Bar, also put that in the bank. If you have any Crisp Spider Meat, Underbelly Whelp Scales or any other Redridge Mountain quest items in the bank, get them out. You'll need 5 Crisp Spider Meat, 5 Great Goretusk Snouts and 5 Tough Condor Meat for a quest, so check the AH for any that you can get inexpensively.

• Turn in Collecting Memories (1,350xp, Dusty Mining Gloves, 110IF, 28Sp) but NOT Oh Brother. . . to Foreman Thistlenettle in the Dwarven District.

• Visit the Rogue Trainer to learn new skills (Garrote Rank 2, Sinister Strike Rank 4, Distract, Vanish) for 1g44s.

• Buy 20 Flash Powder from Jasper Fel, the Shady Dealer, in the SI:7 Headquarters.

Distract is useful for forcing mobs to face away from you, allowing you to sneak by, pick their pockets and/or or set them up for a surprise attack. Vanish is the ultimate emergency button for Rogues, providing you with an escape from a variety of nasty situations. Not only that, it can also be used offensively to initiate another stealth opener. When using Vanish, try to make sure that you don't have any Damage over Time (DoT) effects on you that might break the effect. In addition to that, you also want to be certain that you don't accidentally autoattack yourself back out of stealth. Most importantly, make sure you have a sufficient supply of Flash Powder on hand, otherwise you'll try to Vanish and end up dead. Here's a simple macro to prevent you from autoattacking out of Vanish

/stopattack
/cast Vanish

• Buy two Elixirs of Water Breathing off the AH or from an Alchemist.

• If you were unable to get a weapon upgrade from The Deadmines, then check the AH for a cheap Fighter Broadsword.

Save your Sprint, Evasion, and most importantly Vanish, in case you aggro too many mobs or get ganked by a higher level Horde player.

• Return northwest to Lakeshire.

LAKESHIRE

• Turn in Assessing the Threat (950xp, 7s, 83SW, 21Sp) to Deputy Feldon by the gryphon.

• Finish killing/looting/skinning Black Dragon Whelps/spiders/boars/condors around Alther's Mill until you've completed your quests.

LAKESHIRE

• Turn in Underbelly Scales (1,700xp, Black Whelp Gloves, 165SW, 41Sp) to Verner Osgood under the blacksmith shed but SKIP A Baying of Gnolls.

• Turn in Redridge Goulash (1,350xp, 10s, 5 Redridge Goulash, Recipe: Redridge Goulash, 110SW, 28Sp) to Chef Breanna in the building on the west side of Lakeshire.

You should now be Honored with Gnomeregan Exiles or close to it.

• Sell junk and mail stuff to your bank alt.

• If you have a Level 25 Waylaid Supplies crate, fly to Stormwind and turn in A Full Shipment (140-200xp, 15-30s, 550-880ACA) to Elaine Compton standing outside the AH.

• Take a gryphon flight to Thelsamar in Loch Modan.

LOCH MODAN

• Set your hearthstone at Thelsamar.

• Go southeast to Stonesplinter Valley.

• OPTIONAL: If you still need to kill/loot Ol' Sooty, try to get a group.

• Hearth back to Thelsamar.

• Repair and return south along the road to the southern watchtower.

• Go back north to Thelsamar.

OPTIONAL: Complete a run in the Shadowfang Keep dungeon if you still want a chance at a weapon upgrade (Shadowfang or Face Smasher). Unfortunately, you won't have any quests for that dungeon, but you might be able to join a Paladin and/or Warlock looking to complete one of their class quests there. If you're interested, then fly to Ironforge, get any consumables you need and ask in the General/World/LookingForGroup channels for a Shadowfang Keep (SFK) group, then take a gryphon flight to Menethil Harbor, go north into Arathi Highlands, get the Refuge Pointe FP, go west to Hillsbrad Foothills, get the Southshore FP, then go further west to Silverpine Forest. When the dungeon is complete, hearth back to Thelsamar.

• Take a gryphon flight to Menethil Harbor in Wetlands.

MENETHIL HARBOR

• OPTIONAL: Get The Greenwarden from First Mate Fitzsimmons outside the inn (this questline gives no rep).

• Buy Healing Potions (3s) from Samor Festivus on the top floor of the inn and from Dewin Shimmerdawn in the house next to the northern dock.

• Go around Menethil Harbor looking for pools of Floating Wreckage.

• When you're done fishing for loot, go out to the right (northern) dock to Auberdine in Darkshore. While waiting for the ship, get in some more fishing.

• Check for pools of Floating Wreckage around the dock.

• Get Fruit of the Sea from Gubber Blump beneath the Hippogryph Master.

• If you weren't able to get an Elixir of Water Breathing, see if there are any Warlocks around who can cast Unending Breath on you.

DARKSHORE

• Go north along the beach, picking Stranglekelp, until you reach the first of two partially submerged ships, then apply your poisons and drink your Elixir of Water Breathing.

If you don't have Water Breathing or Unending Breath, then lure Murlocs out of the ship and kill them up at the surface to avoid drowning. The lockboxes are at the very bottom of each ship, so you don't want to be caught in battle, struggling for air, trying to loot those boxes.

• If you do have Water Breathing, then either stealth swim or fight gray Murlocs on your way down into the ships to loot the Silver Dawning's Lockbox and Mist Veil's Lockbox. Both boxes are hard to see in the dark, located at the very bottom on the western side of each ship.

• Continue north along the beach, past a beached sea turtle, picking Stranglekelp and killing/looting low level Reef Crawlers (and Encrusted Tide Crawlers beyond Cliffspring River until you get the Bottom of Gelkak's Key) for 6 Fine Crab Chunks, then go south to the road and east to the bridge.

• Go southeast along the south side of the Cliffspring River until you reach the Blackwood furbolg camps to get the Talisman of Corruption from Xabraxxis.

• Assuming the Talisman of Corruption isn't already in a bag on the ground, go through the furbolg camps to the southwest, looting the Blackwood Fruit Stores, the Blackwood Nut Stores and the Blackwood Grain Stores.

• South of the furbolg camps, go up the mountain path to kill the Den Mother. Pull the cubs individually, then kill the Den Mother. Or just burst her down and sprint out.

• Return northeast to the first camp with the bonfire, clear out any Furbolgs around the bonfire, summon Xabraxxis using the bowl, kill him and loot the Talisman of Corruption from the bag that drops on the ground.

• Go north over the river across the log and northeast up the mountain path to the Naga cave.

• Go into the Naga cave and carefully stealth your way through, collecting 5 Scaber Stalks and 1 Death Cap.

• If you don't already have your Rune of Blade Dance, kill/loot Stormscale Sirens and Stormscale Wave Riders for the Cliffspring Key which opens the Clliffspring Chest located at the eastern end of the lower cave.

This cave is much like Ban'ethil Barrow Den - - a miserable solo experience at lower levels, but a breeze at max quest level. If you get a quest item called Book: The Powers Below, from any Twilight Disciples or Twilight Thugs, hold onto it until level 25 (don't accept the quest so you keep your quest log from hitting the limit). If it doesn't drop, you'll have more chances to get it later.

• Stealth your way out of the cave (or die/rez), then return southwest to Auberdine.

AUBERDINE

• Repair, sell junk (save all Crawler Meat/Claws for Cooking), cook up fish/meat, and mail stuff to your bank alt.

DARKSHORE

• Go far to the southeast to the Grove of the Ancients to turn in Onu (625xp, 55D, 14Sp) to Onu and get The Master's Glaive.

• Go to The Master's Glaive, southwest across the road from the Grove of Ancients, and stealth across the water to the table.

• Click on the Phial of Scrying in your inventory to create the Scrying Bowl, then click the Scrying Bowl on the table.

• Turn in The Master's Glaive (625xp, 55D, 14Sp) and get The Twilight Camp and you can safely throw away the Phial of Scrying, which you won't need anymore.

• Click on the book on the pedastal next to the table to turn in The Twilight Camp (1,250xp, 9s, 110D, 28Sp) and get Return to Onu.

• Get Therylune's Escape from Therylune, then escort her around to the east and up the path to the road.

• Go south around the rim of The Master's Glaive, then west to the shore to work on the final murloc and beached animal quests.

• Go west out into the water where you'll find a Beached Sea Creature on an island guarded by Murlocs, located south of two Beached Sea Turtles. Make sure that you have enough emply slots in your inventory to collect three quest items. Also wait until Vanish is ready in case anything goes bad.

• Once you've cleared out all nearby Murlocs on the east side of the Beached Sea Creature, get close and click it to accept the quest Beached Sea Creature.

• North of that Beached Sea Creature you'll find the final two Beached Sea Turtles, also located on islands.

• Be extra careful, as you'll have very little dry ground to work with and they can swim faster than you. Also, make sure Vanish is off cooldown.

• Once you've cleared out all Murlocs near the clickable head/arm of each turtle, get close, click and accept the Beached Sea Turtle quests.

• Check in the General/World/LookingForGroup channels for anyone wanting to kill Murkdeep as you go north up the coast to the Murloc camp.

• Carefully pull single murlocs from a distance until you've cleared out the camp. Walk into the camp to start the Murkdeep event, use Evasion, kill more murlocs, then kill Murkdeep.

OPTIONAL: While you're in the Ruins of Mathystra, open every Cat Figurine you see, and you might get lucky and find yourself a 10 minute Ghost Saber battle companion. Anytime you're here, do a circuit around the Ruins of Mathystra and open every Cat Figurine. They're often hiding in tough to find locations, so swivel your camera around as you go so you can see from all different angles. You'll know you're successful when a hostile (Hunter tameable) Ghost Saber spawns that you have to kill for a chance to earn your very own 10 minute pet.

• Return (or die/rez) southwest to Auberdine, repair and sell junk.

• Take a hippogryph flight to Astranaar in Ashenvale.

ASTRANAAR

• Get Journey to Stonetalon Peak from Faldreas Goeth'Shael by the glowing "gazebo".

• Get Raene's Cleansing from Raene Wolfrunner inside the large northern building.

As you're questing in Ashenvale, join in PVP and help kill a Warsong Outrider combatant during the Battle for Ashenvale World PvP event to get a Warsong Outrider Mark, which you turn in for the weekly quest Repelling Invaders (2,000xp, 1g20s, Silverwing Battle Hymn, 200 SS) to Felore Moonray in the Astranaar Inn.

As soon as you reach Friendly with Silverwing Sentinels, and have 10g to spare, leave Astranaar and go along the road far to the east until you reach the Falfarren River, then go south past Silverwing Outpost, all the way to Silverwing Grove, to purchase a Trainee's Sentinel Nightsaber mount (10g) from Illiyana Moonblaze for use only in Ashenvale. That mount will greatly help out as you ride back and forth across Ashenvale completing quests (and engage in more PVP for the weekly Repelling Invaders quest). You can also purchase a Rune of Duty (2g) and a Resilient Leather Mask (2g50s) in case you don't have a trinket and/or helm yet.

ASHENVALE

• Go northeast back to the road, then north to Maestra's Post to turn in The Tower of Althalaxx Pt. 3 (1,000xp, 82D, 20Sp) to Delgren the Purifier but SKIP The Tower of Althalaxx Pt. 4.

Be extra careful questing here, as you will be in contested territory near Blackfathom Deeps, with a Horde outpost just to the south. The entire area may be crawling with Horde, so you should stay underwater as much as possible to avoid them.

• Apply your poisons and drink your Elixir of Water Breathing, then go west into the water and head north, carefully killing/looting Wrathtail Wave Riders and Wrathtail Sorceresses, while picking Stranglekelp and picklocking Waterlogged Footlockers, until you reach a small beached boat where you'll find the Ancient Statuette.

• Finish collecting 20 Wrathtail Heads (and leveling up your Lockpicking on Waterlogged Footlockers found along the beach), then return southeast to Astranaar, repair and sell junk. Note: Don't die/rez to try to get back to Astranaar because you'll end up at the southern Darkshore graveyard rather than the Astranaar graveyard.

• Go out of the last tunnel into Wetlands, while picking herbs and avoiding mobs, north past Thelgen Rock, then follow the road northwest through The Green Belt, to the Wetlands graveyard.

• Buy Healing Potions (3s) from Kixxle near the intersection of the roads by the graveyard.

• SKIP Daily Delivery from Einar Stonegrip standing at the intersection (for now).

• Buy Expert First Aid - Under Wraps (1g), Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage (22s) and Manual: Mageweave Bandage (50s) from Deneb Walker on your right. In SoD Phase 1, he sells Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage and Manual: Mageweave Bandage but not Expert First Aid - Under Wraps! In any case, save 75s for your next Rune.

As you train higher in First Aid, and move on to Silk Bandages, save 12 stacks of Wool Cloth to eventually turn in for rep and put them in your bank.

• Return east to Refuge Pointe (or continue west if playing SoD, see below).

• It's time to get two more Runes. Carefully continue west past the wall into Hillsbrad Foothills (save Sprint/Evasion/Vanish in case you run into trouble), then go northeast to Durnholde Keep. Go past bears and spiders around to the back side of the keep until you reach a group of trees, then climb up to the top, where you'll find the vendor Kris Legace. Buy a Hot Tip for 75s from her and open it for a Safe Combination and a Hillsbrad Treasure Map. Go west to the river past more bears and spiders, follow it southeast to Southshore to grab the FP, then follow the river all the way northeast into Western Plaguelands, where you'll find a Rusty Safe at the bottom of a waterfall which contains your Rune of Venom. Engrave the Envenom Rune on your pants. You can safely throw away the Hillsbrad Treasure Map.

• Follow the river back southwest until you reach a group of fallen trees with a hill rising up to your right. From there, carefully go north up the hill around any Hulking Mountain Lions, then take the road north to Chillwind Point (keeping an eye out for the Rare Elemental Stone Fury who patrols that section of road) to grab that FP, then fly back to Southshore.

• Continue west to Silverpine Forest, where you'll visit a cabin in the southwestern part of the zone located just outside the Pyrewood Village wall, at the bottom of the ramp leading up to Shadowfang Keep (SFK). Open the Dead Drop chest inside the cabin and get the quest The Horn of Xelthos. As part of that process, you'll be directed to go to Stonetalon Mountains to get a Breaching Charge (Goblin Lockpicks) from Veenix, who asks you to pickpocket Venture Co. mobs for a Venture Co. Work Order, however you can completely skip the Goblin Lockpicks portion of the quest chain and instead get a mob inside SFK to open the gate for you.

• Leave the cabin, turn left, go up the ramp and across the bridge into the SFK instance (you'll need to go in solo for this). Once inside the instance, immediately turn right and stealth through the very first door next to you. Go up all of the stairways until you reach the locked courtyard gate above Rethilgore's room, who is located down below you to the left next to prison cells. Beside Rethilgore is a lever on the wall. Stealth over to the lever and activate it, pop Evasion, walk into the cell, quickly talk to the captive, then vanish and follow him back up to the locked gate.

• Once he's opened the gate, go through it and wait for your Vanish to reset. Go down the stairs, northwest across the Courtyard, through a doorway into the Butcher's Room and further into the Ball Room, then turn right onto the stage where you'll find Gemela. Pick her pocket for the Sister's Half-Key.

• Continue through to the end of the Ball Room, up either set of curved stairs, then turn right, go up more stairs to another room where you'll find Gefell. Pick his pocket for the Brother's Half-Key (don't combine them into the Twin Key yet). Go back down the stairs, back through the Ball Room and Butcher's Room, out into the Courtyard, turn right, and go into the Stables, where you can safely combine the keys into the Twin Key and open the Ornamented Chest for The Horn of Xelthos.

• Return to the hut outside SFK to turn in The Horn of Xelthos, then hearth back to Loch Modan, fly to Ironforge (you have to check your mail in a major city), fly back to Southshore and return to the cabin outside SFK to get your Rune of Deadly Brew from the Dead Drop chest. Once you engrave Rune of Deadly Brew, you can stop using Instant Poison, and instead switch to sharpening/weightstones for your weapons, since they will automatically proc both Instant and Deadly Poisons with Deadly Brew in effect.

• Return east to Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills.

• Take a gryphon flight to Ironforge.

IRONFORGE

• Turn in A Full Shipment (140-200xp, 15-30s, 550-880ACA) to Tamelyn Aldridge standing outside the AH.

• Repair, sell junk, and buy poison supplies.

• Put all unlearned First Aid books and any quest items you don't currently need (6 Mathystra Relics, Ancient Statuette, Book: The Powers Below if you got it, and any parts of Gelkak's Key) in the bank, and if you have it, get Ol' Sooty's Head out of the bank.

• As soon as your group forms, go east into Mo'grosh Stronghold and kill 4 Mo'grosh Ogres and 4 Mo'grosh Enforcers outside the cave. If you can't get a group, you can solo these elite ogres, but you'll have to be very careful.

• Go into the northeastern cave to kill 4 Mo'grosh Brutes (these can also be solo'd, but are a bit tougher, so buff up and use your cooldowns), then kill Chok'sul and loot his head. Yes, even Chok'sul can be burst killed at your level, using a Severed Voodoo Claw, Evasion, Thistle Tea and a Healing Potion, although it may require several attempts. If you want, you can wait and come back at level 26 to solo that quest.

(SoD-P2) Turn in Fight for Warsong Gulch (2,350xp, 25s, 150SS) to any Alliance Brigadier General. Note: As of 2/7/24, it's believed that those stored up Marks of Honor will not give XP at level 25 on P2 launch day, but they'll still give honor and rep.

For those wanting to save 20 quests, as well as additional quest turn-ins, for maximum XP at the beginning of SoD Phase 2, don't complete quest steps marked as (SoD-P2) until Phase 2 starts. Then, on launch day, run around and quickly complete those quests, and any easy followup quests, for a quick burst of XP to level you up a few levels.

GADGETZAN

• Grab the FP and check out the neutral AH.

• If you plan to complete the quest Highperch Venom at level 25, follow the optional route listed below.

• OPTIONAL: Head north to the Shimmering Flats in Thousand Needles to go grab one more useful FP located at Thalanaar on the edge of Feralas. This one will be challenging, and will require stealthing past numerous level 28-33 mobs, so you might want to wait until you're level 25+ to make this trip.

THOUSAND NEEDLES

• Carefully make your way northwest through the Shimmering Flats, avoiding all of the level 30-35 mobs, as well as the high level Horde at Ironstone Camp on the northwest edge of the Shimmering Flats.

• Continue northwest, around Ironstone Camp, through the Thousand Needles, avoiding all of the level 28-30 mobs, as well as the high level Horde around Freewind Post, as you go all the way past Highperch on your left to Thalanaar on the edge of Feralas.

• If you've reached level 25, and are ready to complete the Highperch Venom quest, go back southeast to Thousand Needles. If you aren't ready yet, then return to this section when you are.

THOUSAND NEEDLES

• Go southeast and up the cliffside path to Highperch and carefully kill/loot level 28 Highperch Wyverns/Consorts for 10 Highperch Venom Sacs. You'll probably need to use every buff and consumable you have to defeat them solo at level 25. They have a nasty poison, so eat food often to recover while poisoned. Avoid all level 29 Highperch Wyverns/Consorts, as well as the level 30-31 Highperch Matriarchs, and especially the level 32 rare elite Heartrazor if you ever see him.

• Go back down the path and return northwest to Thalanaar.

THALANAAR

• Take a hippogryph flight to Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh.

• OPTIONAL: Go northeast to the Ruins of Mathystra and do a circuit around the Ruins of Mathystra and open every Cat Figurine you see. They're often hiding in tough to find locations, so swivel your camera around as you go so you can see from all different angles. You'll know you're successful when a hostile (Hunter tameable) Ghost Saber spawns that you have to kill for a chance to earn your very own 10 minute pet.

Once you hit max level 25 in Phase 1 of SoD, definitely come back here to farm that Glowing Cat Figurine. You might even consider helping out any level 19 hunters in the area trying to farm the Ghost Saber as a pet. Work together, quickly killing Naga, then if a level 20 Ghost Saber spawns from a cat figurine on the ground, you kill it to try to get your Glowing Cat Figurine (since a level 19 Hunter cannot tame a level 20 mob). If a level 19 Ghost Saber spawns, let the Hunter dismiss his pet, and tame it. If the Hunter gets low on health during the taming process, use a bandage on him for a tic or two between Ghost Saber attacks.

• Buff up and make sure your cooldowns are ready, then go south to escort The Threshwackonator 4100. The robot will attack you when you reach Gelkak Gyromast, so be ready to kill him.

Mechanical enemies are immune to poisons and bleeds, so if you have any weightstones/sharpening stones, use those instead of poisons.

• Turn in Gyromast's Revenge (1,150xp, 9s, 5 Elixir of Water Breathing, 110IF, 28Sp) to Gelkak Gyromast and you can safely throw away Gyromast's Key. Save the Elixirs of Water Breathing to use on underwater quests.

• Die/rez or return south, picking herbs, to Auberdine.

• Sell junk, cook up fish/meat, and mail stuff to your bank alt.

• Turn in A Lost Master (1,550xp, 110D, 27Sp) to Terenthris inside the eastern building and get A Lost Master Pt. 2.

• Go southeast to Blackwood Den and carefully stealth your way past furbolgs until you find the cave with Volcor.

• Buff up and carefully pull and kill single furbolgs in front of the cave entrance until it is cleared.

• Turn in A Lost Master Pt. 2 (775xp, 55D, 13Sp) to Volcor and get Escape Through Force (which is the tougher quest but provides more Darnassus rep and a better quest reward).

Level 25: Precision 5/5, Darkshore/Ashenvale

• Make sure your cooldowns are ready, then fight your way out of the cave through three waves of furbolgs until you reach the road.

• Go southwest towards the Master's Glaive.

• If you haven't gotten Book: The Powers Below, then grind gray Twilight Disciples and Twilight Thugs at Master's Glaive until you do (could take an hour or more for this Darnassus quest item to drop). Don't accept the quest (yet).

You thought farming a single quest item for up to an hour was annoying, wait until you hear about your 12th rune, the Rune of Main Gauche. You can either farm a total of 60 quest items in three different locations, or you can buy some or all of them from the AH, but for quite a hefty price. You're going to need 16 Shredder Turbochargers (Stonetalon Mountains - Shredder Autosalvage Units), 20 Dark Iron Ordinance (Wetlands - elite Dark Iron Dwarves group farm) and 24 Fish Oil (any level 25+ Murlocs/Naga). And it's not just you. You're competing against ALL of the other classes to acquire those same items for their final rune. Once you've gathered all of that together, go turn it in to Grizzby inside the Ratchet inn on the eastern shore of The Barrens, who will give you a delivery quest, Let Me Make You An Offer, to turn in to Master Wood near the Warrior trainers in Stormwind, then get You've Got Yourself A Deal, to return to Grizzby, who will now sell you the Rune of Main Gauche for 3g. You can safely vendor the Grizzwerks Defense Industries Founder's Certificate.

Now that you've maxed out at Level 25 in Phase 1 of SoD, you can continue questing without gaining any additional experience, so feel free to go back and complete all of the red optional quests you skipped earlier. If your goal is to maximize rep gain while minimizing experience, you could also continue moving forward through this guide until you can't quest any further (due to required level and/or quest difficulty). Or, you might consider completing 20 quests without turning them in, to give yourself a jumpstart once leveling to 40 starts back up in SoD Phase 2. Whatever you decide to do, it's highly recommended that you spend your free time farming herbs/grinding mobs/skinning in Ashenvale (to soak up valuable Silverwing Sentinels rep during Ashenvale World PvP events for gear upgrades), and set your hearth in Darnassus so that you can frequently hearth back for the excellent Boon of Blackfathom.

For those wanting to save up 20 quests, as well as additional quest turn-ins, for maximum XP at the beginning of SoD Phase 2, don't complete quest steps marked as (SoD-P2) and their followups until Phase 2 starts. All other non-marked quest steps can be completed while waiting around at max level 25 if you want to continue questing through this guide.

• Continue west around Master's Glaive to Remtravel's Excavation.

• DO NOT turn in The Absent Minded Prospector to Prospector Remtravel (yet).

• Buff up, then quickly go through the excavation site killing all golems, which are also immune to poisons and bleeds.

• Quickly return to Prospector Remtravel, turn in The Absent Minded Prospector (1,150xp, 83IF, 21Sp) and get The Absent Minded Prospector Pt. 2.

• Escort him through the excavation site, which should be much easier with the golems cleared out.

• Be careful when he makes his way back past the second wooden ramp. A caster trogg tossing fireballs will spawn on the hill to the left of that ramp. Kill him quickly.

• Continue escorting Prospector Remtravel, fighting golems near the entrance as they respawn, until the mission is complete.

• Go north to Auberdine.

AUBERDINE

• Sell junk and repair.

• (HOLD) Turn in Escape Through Force (1,750xp, 14s, Steadfast Cinch, 110D, 27Sp) to Terenthis inside the eastern building, then wait a few seconds, and get Trek to Ashenvale from Sentinel Selarin who runs in and disappears shortly after.

Quests marked (HOLD) should be held in your quest log until you fill it with quests marked as (SoD-P2), at which point you can start turning in HOLD quests to free up quest slots for better quests that will give more XP on SoD Phase 2 launch day. As a general rule, you want each of your 20 stored up quests to yield 2,600xp or more (to include any quick follow up quests), so backup quests marked (HOLD) will tend to be in the 2,000-2,500xp range (including follow up quests). Depending upon how closely you're following this guide, you may want to save more or less (HOLD) quests. The more you hold onto, the more you'll have to go back and turn in to free up slots for better quests. So, put a priority on keeping higher XP (HOLD) quests that get turned in at major quest hubs until they get replaced.

• Turn in The Absent Minded Prospector Pt. 2. (1,950xp, 165IF, 42Sp) to Archaeologist Hollee outside the northern building and (SoD-P2) get The Absent Minded Prospector Pt. 3. Don't pickup this followup quest until SoD Phase 2 launch day, and then turn it in, and its followup quests, for easy XP.

• Escort Kerlonian Evershade south to Maestra's Post in Ashenvale, using the Horn of Awakening to wake him up when he falls asleep, while staying off the road (if solo) to avoid ambushes.

(SoD-P2) The week SoD Phase 2 comes out, don't accept or turn in that quest, and instead save the quest item to turn in on launch day for the free XP.

OPTIONAL: If you've reached Friendly with Silverwing Sentinels from PVP in WSG and Battle for Ashenvale World PvP, leave Astranaar and go along the road far to the east until you reach the Falfarren River, then go south past Silverwing Outpost, all the way to Silverwing Grove, to pickup and turn in the Warsong Gulch PVP quest Sentinel Basic Care Package (270xp, 20 Warsong Gulch Field Ration, 20 Warsong Gulch Silk Bandage, 16s, 10SS) to Illiyana Moonblaze.

• Return north to Maestra's Post.

• Turn in The Tower of Althalaxx Pt. 5 (1,950xp, Clergy Ring, 110D, 0Sp) to Delgren the Purifier standing by the stones and SKIP The Tower of Althalaxx Pt. 6.

The next quest, while being listed as a level 24 solo quest, is very tough to complete alone, so it's highly recommended to form a group. Try not to skip this quest as it gives a nice 220 Darnassus rep.

• Get Supplies to Auberdine from Feero Ironhand standing by the stones. If he's not there, then wait for him to return from the escort quest.

• Escort Feero Ironhand north along the road, keeping him alive through three ambushes from multiple enemies, until you reach Darkshore and complete the quest.

Level 34: Sword Specialization 3/5, Wetlands/Hillsbrad/Arathi

(SoD-P2: Level 28) Depending upon your route, and how many quests you've already turned in on SoD Phase 2 launch day by the time you reach Dun Modr, you may actually be high enough level (level 28) to quickly complete the next few quest steps marked below for a nice 14,300xp. If not, come back later and blast through them.

• (SoD-P2: Level 28) Get The Thandol Span from Rhag Garmason.

• (SoD-P2: Level 28) Go north to the middle of the Thandol Span bridge, turn right and stealth down a spiral staircase, past one level 28/29 elite dark iron dwarf who patrols the top floor, then look for the other dwarf below, and drop down to the lower floor away from him next to Ebenezer Rustlocke's Corpse. You'll probably need to Distract/Sap or kill the other dwarf on the lower level in order to turn in the quest.

• (SoD-P2: Level 28) Turn in The Thandol Span (2,500xp, 110IF, 27Sp) at Ebenezer Rustlocke's Corpse and get The Thandol Span Pt. 2.

• (SoD-P2: Level 28) Turn in The Thandol Span Pt. 2 (2,500xp, 110IF, 28Sp) to Rhag Garmason and get The Thandol Span Pt. 3.

• (SoD-P2: Level 28) Go north across the Thandol Span bridge, turn right at the end of the bridge, then stealth your way across the smaller rope bridge up to several level 32 guards on the far end.

• (SoD-P1) Get Mortality Wanes from Heralath Fallowbrook inside the instance, located down the hill behind the main boss, Charlga Razorflank, inside a tent next to Willix the Importer. Once you have the quest, you'll need to kill humanoid mobs inside the instance until Treshala's Pendant drops. If you're careful, you can actually stealth all the way through the instance ahead of time to reach him in order to pick up the quest, so you'll have a better chance to find the quest item as you and your group fights through the instance (unfortunately, the quest is not shareable). If you're fully buffed up, and use a Combat Rogue Tank spec (with Riposte and Blade Dance/Just a Flesh Wound runes), you can solo low level Razorfen mobs near the entrance for Treshala's Pendant. Make sure you bring Instant Poison as well, since you'll have to replace Deadly Brew/Envenom with those other runes.

• Get Willix the Importer from Willix the Importer inside the instance, located down the hill behind the main boss, Charlga Razorflank, inside a tent next to Heralath Fallowbrook, then escort Willix out.

• (SoD-P2) Turn in Mortality Wanes (3,050xp, Lancer Boots, 150D) to Treshala Fallowbrook in the Tradesmen's Terrace in Darnassus.

From this point forward, I will no longer be marking non-Alliance quests in this guide as "optional" because if you skip too many you're going to really start falling behind on leveling. Also, you no longer need to go out of your way to focus on gray quest mobs or avoid mobs in your path to reduce unwanted experience.

• Take a hippogryph flight to Rut'Theran Village, then take the glowing teleporter to Darnassus.

DARNASSUS

• Get the Miscellaneous Goblin Supplies out of your bank and empty out your bags as much as possible. Put Treshala's Pendant in the bank.

Save this as a final (HOLD) quest possibility in case you find yourself short a quest. If you decide to take the quest, turn it in to Delgren the Purifier at Maestra's Post, next to where you turn in Supplies to Auberdine.

• Return to Auberdine.

• Take a hippogryph flight to Astranaar in Ashenvale.

ASHENVALE

• Go northwest to Maestra's Post.

• (HOLD) Turn in The Tower of Althalaxx Pt. 9 (2,500xp, weapon, 110D, 28Sp) to Delgren the Purifier.

Level 35: Weapon Expertise 1/2, Thousand Needles/Stranglethorn Vale/Hillsbrad Foothills

Most of those objectives can be achieved in the northern half of The Shimmering Flats, but you'll need to go south for the 6 Saltstone Gazers. Also, Load Lightening will be particularly troublesome, as there are very few Salt Flats Scavengers and Salt Flats Vultures around and you will need to specifically seek them out in a PVP-rich zone. Don't skip that quest, as it leads to 9 more quests and a nice pair of gloves.

• Turn in Rocket Car Parts (2,500xp, 30s, 0Rep) to Kravel Koalbeard and get Hemet Nesingwary and Wharfmaster Dizzywig.

• Turn in Salt Flat Venom (1,850xp, 25s, 0Rep) to Fizzle Brassbolts and get Martek the Exiled.

Turn in An Old History Book (1,500xp, 14s, 83SW, 21Sp) to Milton Sheaf in the Stormwind Library in northeast Stormwind City and get Southshore. Switch to a Combat Rogue Tank spec (with Riposte and Blade Dance/Just a Flesh Wound runes) and get plenty of buffs and consumables. Make sure you bring Instant Poison as well, since you'll have to replace Deadly Brew/Envenom with those other runes. Fly to Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills and turn in Southshore (710xp, 27SW) to Loremaster Dibbs standing outside the building next to the inn, then get Preserving Knowledge.

Once inside, you'll need to use Distract multiple times until he doesn't resist, then Vanish, move up behind him, Sap, loot the Worn Leather Book from the bookcase and die. (SoD-P2) turn in Preserving Knowledge (3,550xp, 165SW) to Loremaster Dibbs in Southshore, which will be followed up by turning in Return to Milton (3,550xp, 150SW) to Milton Sheaf in the Stormwind Library in northeast Stormwind City.)

The Magram questline eventually leads to a nice Rogue belt whereas the Gelkis questline provides no Rogue quest rewards. If you really want to complete both questlines, you can do so, but it would involve selecting the "At War" check box next to the Magram reputation (after completing their questline), then killing a whole lot of Magram centaurs to get to Friendly with the Gelkis clan.

Level 40: Adrenaline Rush 1/1

Congratulations on reaching level 40! If you've completed most or all of the quests in this guide, then you should have around the following reputation totals:

• Darnassus: 3,715/21,000 Revered

• Gnomeregan Exiles: 7,781/12,000 Honored

• Ironforge: 11,580/12,000 Honored

• Stormwind: 6,469/21,000 Revered

As you can tell, reaching Exalted with another race by level 40 is just not possible. To reach Exalted, you will need to complete many more quests and/or complete "turn-in" quests. At level 47, you can turn in Morrowgrain and Un'Goro Soil for Darnassus rep. At level 50, you can complete Runecloth turn-ins for any of the four factions.

As far as your level 40 mount in concerned, unfortunately you'll be stuck with your own race's mount for now. Also, you may not have all of the 90 gold needed to purchase Apprentice Riding along with your first mount. If that's the case, you have several options available to you.

If you haven't gotten An Old History Book yet, you could go back and kill humanoids in Duskwood until you do. Another option is to kill level 30-40 humanoids anywhere in the world (but not Duskwood unfortunately) for a chance at the Pendant of Myzrael, to complete that elusive quest.

Killing humanoids also serves two other important purposes. You can pickpocket them for lockboxes to work on your Pick Lock skill and kill them for cloth to level up your First Aid. The numerous humanoids in Kurzen's Camp and caves are very good targets, as they can help you achieve several objectives all at once (Worn Junkboxes, Silk Cloth, Jungle Remedy, Fadeleaf, and Green Hills of Stranglethorn pages).

Or, if you want another challenge, finish the last three Magram Centaur quests in Desolace, then declare war with them and kill hundreds of Magram Centaurs to reach Friendly reputation with the Gelkis so you can work on their questline.
