WoW Forever Alliance leveling guide 1-10
Ten levels, friend. The cheapest ten you'll ever buy. Follow Nix, don't wander, and you'll leave the starting zone with a bag, a weapon and coin in your pocket.

Before you go
Every start area has junior Mining, Herbalism and Skinning trainers. Learn one before you leave: the nodes on your path are free money.
Around level 5-6, the quest The Great Outdoors teaches camping. Cooking 1 is all a Basic Campfire needs.
Each start zone hides a free bag quest: Book Bag (Elwynn), Canvas Latchbag (Dun Morogh), Soft Saber Sack (Teldrassil).
Set your hearthstone in the first town. Walking back is time, and time is gold.
Step by step
Every line comes from one source unless marked: places and quests are checked, the order is our proposal.
The route on the map
Elwynn Forestlevels 1-10
Step 1 — Northshire Abbey (level 1-3)
Welcome to the business, friend. Northshire is small, safe and full of people who need things done. Take every job on the steps of the abbey before you swing at a single wolf.
Marshal McBride · 48.8, 41.6 → Follow That Kobold! (and every other quest offered at the abbey)
Brother Paxton · 49.4, 40.4 → Rascally Rodents (pick the book of the gathering profession you want)
Class quests: HunterTordrin Sternblade · 51.2, 40.8 → Shhh! We're Hunting Kobolds
Pick a book from Brother Paxton. Reading is free. Not reading costs you later.
Step 2 — Northshire trainers (level 2-4)
Mines, herbs and pelts, friend: the three things people always buy. The junior trainers are all here in the valley.
Kelsey Fargo · 47.2, 32.2 → The Big Picture
Nancy Songflower · 52.4, 43.8
Riley Peltskinner · 47, 39.8
One gathering profession now, a second one later. Two pockets fill faster than one.
Step 3 — Northshire, before you leave (level 5-6)
Done with the abbey? Good. The Marshal has one more letter for you before you walk down the road.
Marshal McBride · 48.8, 41.6 → The Adventurer
Follow the road south to Goldshire.
Downhill all the way. Nix likes roads that go downhill.
Step 4 — Goldshire (level 6-7)
Goldshire, friend! Cheap beer, cheaper quests, and every one of them pays. Grab them all before you touch a single wolf: walking back twice is walking for free, and I don't do free.
Sam Sarsaparilla · 44.8, 63.2 → The Great Outdoors (then Camping 101: Cooking)
Marshal Dughan · 42.2, 65.8 → Book Return, Rare Books (Book Return gives the Book Bag; Rare Books lets you pick a green weapon)
Remy "Two Times" · 42.2, 67.2 → An Enticing Offer, Baited for Success
Jason Mathers · 47.4, 62.2 → A Net Disaster, Slimy Menace, A Man About a Murloc
Lee Brown · 47.4, 62.2 → Bottles and Baubles
Helene Peltskinner · 46.2, 62.2 → Rough Wolf Pelts
Innkeeper Farley · 43.8, 65.8
Set your hearthstone with Farley. Your feet are slow, friend, and that stone is free.
Step 5 — Around Goldshire (level 7-9)
Now we work. Wolves, murlocs and the stream below town: do it all in one loop, then come back with full hands.
Goldshire → Brotherhood of Thieves
Goldshire givers → Rough Wolf Pelts, A Net Disaster, Bottles and Baubles, Baited for Success, Book Return
Turn everything in at once. One trip, one payday. That's how Nix keeps his teeth shiny.
Step 6 — Eastvale and the east road (level 8-10)
East, friend. Eastvale and the farms past it are full of craftsmen with problems, and problems pay.
Kitta Firewind · 64.8, 70.6 → An Enchanting Lesson
Blixie Fitzwink · 63.2, 72.6 → Stolen Enchanting Supplies
Hamish Bergwort · 65, 69.8 → Delicate Instruments
Ormin Pelford · 76.4, 72 → Downstream
Hagar Lowe · 82.4, 63.8 → Good Steel
Far east is far from home. Hearth back to Goldshire when your bags are full.
Step 7 — West Elwynn (level 9-10)
One more errand west, then Elwynn is squeezed dry.
Sergeant De Vries · 24, 73 → An Apple Treat
Goldshire → WANTED: "Hogger" (elite, level 11: bring friends)
Hogger bites. Nix fights only when someone else pays for the bandages. Find a group.
Step 8 — Level 10: class trainers in Goldshire (level 10)
Ten! First talent point, new spells, and for some of you, a class quest. Don't leave town without them.
Walk west into Westfall. Your first flight path is Sentinel Hill.
Class quests: Hunter, PriestJosephine Carson · 41.2, 66.2 → Taming the Beast, Training the Beast (your first pet)
Priestess Josetta · 43.4, 65.6 → Divine Grace, Confounding Flash
Elwynn's done, friend. Westfall pays better, and the farmers there are desperate. Desperate means generous.

Dun Moroghlevels 1-10
Step 1 — Coldridge Valley (level 1-4)
Cold, isn't it? Good: cold keeps the competition indoors. Start with your letter and the trainers around the camp.
Sten Stoutarm · 29.8, 71.2 → Hallowed Memorandum, Archaic Rune (your class letter, and every other quest at the camp)
Sally Swiftwrench · 28.8, 67.8
Emrys Flintbeard · 28.8, 66.6
Brighid Stormflayer · 29.2, 67.6
Pick a gathering trade now. Copper in these hills is money lying on the floor.
Step 2 — Coldridge Valley (level 4-6)
Two jobs worth your time before you leave the valley, and one of them is a bag. Never say no to a free bag, friend.
Grund Drokda · 28.6, 67.4 → Grund and Gozwin (reward: Canvas Latchbag)
Mountaineer Thalos · 33.4, 71.8 → The Adventurer
Class quests: ShamanTeo Hammerstorm · 28.7, 66.1 → Call of Earth (Dwarf Shaman: your Earth Totem, at the Minor Manifestation of Earth (24.8, 61.8))
Then take the tunnel out of the valley and follow the road to Kharanos.
Step 3 — Kharanos (level 6-8)
Kharanos, friend! Warm inn, strong ale, and half the town wants something fetched. Collect every job, then go out once.
Eric Brighthammer · 46.6, 53.8 → The Great Outdoors (then Camping 101: Cooking)
Tognus Flintfire · 45.2, 52 → Flintfire's Shipment
Senir Whitebeard · 46.6, 53.8 → Secure the Mountain
Maxan Anvol · 47.2, 52.2 → Dawn in the Mountains, Finding Warmth, Rime's Wrath, Treacherous Cold (Rime's Wrath gives Avala's Binding)
Innkeeper Belm · 47.4, 52.4
Set your hearthstone with Belm. Nix never walks when a stone can carry him.
Step 4 — South and west of Kharanos (level 8-9)
Out into the snow. The Mountaineers want the hills safe, and a lady in the west wants a very big wolf.
Mountaineer Gretchen · 44, 57 → Secure the Mountain
Gretta Ganter · 31.4, 44.6 → Frosthowl (reward: Frosthowl's Footwarmers)
Warm boots from a wolf hunt. Best trade in Dun Morogh, friend.
Step 5 — East Dun Morogh (level 9-10)
East, toward the quarry. Miners lose things, and Nix finds things. For a fee.
Rudra Amberstill · 63, 49.8 → Never Saddle on Quality
Quarrymaster Thesten · 69, 54.8 → Stolen Blasting Powder
Frast Dokner · 68.8, 55.8 → The Quarry's Smith (reward: Plans: Rough Copper Chain Boots)
Blacksmiths, those plans are worth keeping. Everyone else: sell them. Nix won't judge.
Step 6 — Level 10: class quests and Ironforge (level 10)
Ten, friend! Talent point, new spells, and the big city. Ironforge has a flight master and work for clever gnomes.
Jemma Quikswitch · Ironforge · 67.8, 43.8 → Data Hoarders
Gryth Thurden · Ironforge · 55.8, 48 (learn the flight path)
Next: Loch Modan (east) or Westfall (through Stormwind).
Class quests: Shaman, PriestIngrid Dunwald · 47.4, 52 → Call of Fire (the chain continues into Loch Modan)
Maxan Anvol · 47.2, 52.2 → Confounding Flash
Loch Modan is next door, Westfall pays well. Either way, friend: keep moving, standing still is expensive.
The route on the map
Teldrassillevels 1-11
Step 1 — Shadowglen (level 1-3)
Ah, Shadowglen. Pretty trees, quiet elves, and nobody counting coins but me. Start with the Shadowglen jobs.
Tenaron Stormgrip · 59, 39.4 (every quest offered around the glen)
Shanda · 59.2, 40.4 → The Goddess Provides
Tarindrella · 57.8, 45 → Nature's Call
Elves walk slowly, friend. You don't have to.
Step 2 — Shadowglen trainers (level 3-5)
Herbs everywhere on this tree. Learn to pick them before someone else does.
Fanorran Stilloak · 58.2, 41.4
Eleyna Duskbreeze · 59.8, 41.4
Terunne Bearshaper · 59.4, 38.6
Lost Journal · 59.1, 39.5 → The Adventurer (an object, not an NPC)
Then down the path to Dolanaar.
Step 3 — Dolanaar (level 5-8)
Dolanaar, friend! An inn, a camping lesson and a bag for a few pelts. Elves don't haggle. Lucky you.
Lyreena Duskblade · 57.6, 56.6 → The Great Outdoors (then Camping 101: Cooking)
Aldia · 55.4, 57.2 → Soft Saber Pelts (reward: Soft Saber Sack)
Sentinel Kyra Starsong · 56, 59.4 → The Lost Runner
Byancie · 55.2, 56.8 → The Great Tree Provides, Easing Suffering
Innkeeper Keldamyr · 55.6, 59.8
Set your hearthstone with Keldamyr. Teldrassil is big and your legs are not.
Step 4 — West Teldrassil (level 8-10)
West, into the woods. Sentinels in trouble, an escort and a glade gone dark. Sentinels pay in good gear.
Sentinel Lynessa Duskblossom · 44.6, 58.9 → Escaping Ban'ethil (escort; reward Ban'ethil Quiver or Sentinel's Slasher)
Sentinel Eralya Leafshadow · 37.6, 36.8 → Not Dead Yet
Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak · 38.2, 34.4 → Darkness in the Glade, The Oracle Tree (level 12 quests: do them at 10-11)
Escorts are slow, friend, but slow money is still money.
Step 5 — Level 10: Dolanaar and Rut'theran (level 10-11)
Ten! Talent point, a priestly errand for some, and a long road to the docks. The world is waiting, friend, and so are its customers.
Tallonkai Swiftroot · 55.4, 56.8 → Twisted Hatred (reward: Webwood Slicer)
Tenaron Stormgrip · 59, 39.4 → Crown of the Earth
Vesprystus · Rut'theran Village · 58.4, 94 (learn the flight path)
Next: Darkshore (11-19). A boat from Auberdine goes straight to Stormwind Harbor.
Class quests: PriestLaurna Morninglight · 55.6, 56.8 → The Sisterhood of Elune
Darkshore next, or the boat to Stormwind if your friends are human. Nix sails for free. You should too.
FAQ
- Where do I go after Elwynn Forest?
- At level 10, walk west into Westfall; its first flight path is at Sentinel Hill. Dwarves and Gnomes go to Loch Modan or Westfall, Night Elves to Darkshore.
- When do I get my first flight path?
- There is none in Elwynn Forest or Dun Morogh: use Stormwind (Dungar Longdrink) or Ironforge (Gryth Thurden). Night Elves have one in Rut'theran Village (Vesprystus).
- When can I do my first dungeon?
- Not before level 13: there is no dungeon in the 1-10 zones. The first Alliance one is the Hall of Thanes, under Ironforge, for levels 13-18.
