Before you go

  • At level 14, the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain opens at a wrecked cart in Westfall (37, 50). The bag gives up to +3% XP. Free XP, friend.

  • From level 10, mobs drop Waylaid Crates. Fill one and take it to the Three Corners camp in Redridge for Merchant's Favor.

  • Journeyman professions open at level 10 (skill 50, up to 150). Train before your skill caps.

  • Party XP now depends on each member's own level, and dungeon quests give bonus XP. Take the dungeon quests before you go in.

  • A new boat links Stormwind Harbor and Auberdine. Night Elves no longer need the long run through the Wetlands.

Stormwind City

  1. Step 1 — Stormwind, on your way out (level 10-12)

    Before Westfall, friend, a quick stop at the Keep. The Highlord hands out errands, and errands come with gifts.

    • Highlord Bolvar Fordragon · 78, 18 → Journey to Sentinel Hill, Exploring the Alliance (Exploring the Alliance: Cloak of the Honored Guest)

    • Gilbert Gray · 26.2, 47 → Fishin' Time

    • Walk west out of Stormwind into Westfall, then south to Sentinel Hill.

    A free cloak before lunch. Nix approves.

Westfalllevels 10-20

  1. Step 2 — Sentinel Hill (level 10-13)

    Sentinel Hill, friend! Flight master, inn, and a lady in the tower with a whole new line of work. That line ends in the Deadmines, so start it now.

    • Thor · 56.4, 52.6 (learn the flight path)

    • Innkeeper Heather · 52.8, 53.6

    • Alba Fairmoon · 52.4, 53 → Testing the Wells, Murloc Gills

    • Water sample · Molsen Farm · 46.2, 38.3 → Testing the Wells

    • Water sample · Jansen Stead · 56.7, 18.7 → Testing the Wells

    Two farms, two samples, one payday. Set your hearthstone with Heather on the way back.

  2. Step 3 — North Westfall (level 12-15)

    Up north there's a gnome with a harvester problem. Harvesters are expensive, friend. Fixing them pays.

    • Ozwin Ironsprocket · 51.6, 32.2 → Harvesting the Harvesters (3 steps; rewards include a Harvester Override Signalcaster and an Engineering schematic)

    Engineers, keep the schematic. Everyone else, it still sells.

  3. Step 4 — Sentinel Hill and Moonbrook (level 14-16)

    Back to Alba, friend. Something smells wrong in Moonbrook, and on the way you'll pass the cart that starts your sleeping bag.

    • Alba Fairmoon · 52.4, 53 → The State of the Mines, Moonbrook Espionage (Moonbrook Espionage: collect 8 Suspicious Industrial Supplies in Moonbrook)

    • Burned-Out Remains · 37, 50 (an object: the wrecked cart at Alexston Farmstead; starts the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain from level 14)

    Sources disagree on Moonbrook Espionage's level, 15 or 16. Either way, friend: it pays.

Stormwind City

  1. Step 5 — Stormwind: the dynamite errands (level 15-17)

    Alba's chain runs through Stormwind for a while. Explosives, shady dealers. Nix's kind of shopping trip.

    • Sprite Jumpsprocket · 54.6, 8 (part of Alba's chain through Stormwind)

    • Jasper Fel · 78.2, 58.8 (Shady Dealer, part of the same chain)

    • Alba's Stormwind chain → Explosive Consultation, A Dynamite Plan, Detonation at a Distance (the exact order with The State of the Mines is still to check)

    • Manifest Clerk Philmor · 30.4, 29 → Philmor's Favor

    • Elaine Trias · 60.4, 63.4 → Gatehouse Goods (reward: Dalaran Sharp)

    Cheese, gunpowder and paperwork. A perfect afternoon, friend.

Ironforgelevels 13-18

  1. Step 6 — Ironforge: the Hall of Thanes (level 13-18)

    New dungeon under Ironforge, friend, and four or five jobs that pay for going in. Collect them all first. Entering twice is paying twice.

    • Thom Filch · Ironforge · 32.6, 44.6 → Important Heirlooms (Dwarven Tome or Tomb Robber's Gloves)

    • Afadra Dunwall · Ironforge → The Restless Dead (Lorekeeper of Ironforge; sources give 33.0, 48.0 or 34.0, 48.8; Dusty Belt or Cryptwalker Bracers)Sources disagree

    • Earthseer Farsen · Dun Morogh · 64.8, 58.4 → Old Ironforge Incursion (kill Durgen Dirgehammer inside)

    • Hall of Thanes · Ironforge · 43.5, 52 (below the High Seat, levels 13-18; the tablet inside starts The Treaty of Understanding)

    • King Magni Bronzebeard · Ironforge · 39.4, 55.8 → Old Ironforge Incursion (pick Calibrated Blunderbuss, Ironforge Greathammer or Deepblaze)

    Sources disagree on whether Farsen's chain is required to enter. Do it anyway, friend: the weapon is the prize.

Redridge Mountainslevels 15-25

  1. Step 7 — Lakeshire (level 15-19)

    Redridge, friend! Gnolls, orcs and a goblin camp that buys crates. Lakeshire first, the camp after.

    • Ariena Stormfeather · 30.6, 59.4 (learn the flight path)

    • Innkeeper Brianna · 26.8, 44.8

    • Deputy Feldon · 30.8, 60 → Show of Force

    • Foreman Oslow · 32.2, 48.6 → Alther's Mill (from 15)

    • Marshal Marris · 33.4, 48.8 → Blackrock Blockade (from 18)

    • Wanted poster · 24.4, 46.3 → WANTED: Incinerator Gar'im (quest level 25: bring friends)

    • Marcy Baker · Three Corners · 9.7, 70.9 (turn in your filled Waylaid Crates for Merchant's Favor)

    Crates to Marcy, friend. Goblins pay fair. Mostly.

Westfalllevels 10-20

  1. Step 8 — The Deadmines (level 17-20)

    Alba's last job: blow something up inside the Deadmines. Nix loves a job that ends with a bang.

    • Alba Fairmoon · 52.4, 53 → Destruction in Deadmines (the detonator is in Gilnid's room)

    • The Deadmines (entrance in Moonbrook; sources give ranges from 15-22 to 17-26)Sources disagree

    Group up, friend. Five pairs of hands loot faster than one.

Stormwind City

  1. Step 9 — Level 20: class quests and training (level 20)

    Twenty! Expert professions, new class quests, and the bag chain still waiting. Spend a little, earn a lot.

    • Expert rank opens at 20 (skill 125, up to 225).

    • Next: Duskwood (Darkshire) or the Wetlands (Menethil Harbor).

    Class quests: Priest, Druid, Shaman

    • High Priestess Laurena · Stormwind City · 38.8, 26.4 → Contingency Plan

    • High Priestess Mims · Ironforge · 24.8, 10 → Contingency Plan (same quest, Ironforge giver)

    • Mathrengyl Bearwalker · Darnassus · 35.2, 8 → The Great Cat Spirit, To Darnassus

    • Norric Lochthane · Loch Modan · 41.8, 19 → Call of Water (your Water Totem at the end)

    Duskwood is dark, friend, but dark is where the bargains hide.

Done here? Next stop: 20-30

FAQ

Where should Alliance level from 10 to 20 in WoW Forever?
Humans go to Westfall, Dwarves and Gnomes to Loch Modan, Night Elves to Darkshore. From about 15, everyone can move on to Redridge Mountains, then Duskwood from 18.
How do I get into the Hall of Thanes?
The entrance is in Ironforge, below the High Seat (43.5, 52.0), for levels 13-18. Earthseer Farsen in Dun Morogh (64.8, 58.4) gives the quest chain. Sources disagree on whether the chain is required to enter.
How do Night Elves get to Stormwind in WoW Forever?
A new boat sails directly between Auberdine (Darkshore) and Stormwind Harbor, so the old run through the Wetlands is no longer needed.
