Before you go

  • The Valley of Trials and Camp Narache now have junior Mining, Herbalism and Skinning trainers. Learn one before you leave.

  • Around level 6, The Adventurer starts the camping quests. The Camping 101 profession quests need skill 20 in that profession.

  • None of the three start zones has a flight master. Learn the flight path in your capital the first time you visit.

  • Undead Paladins have their own storyline from Deathknell to Bandarion Keep, with Redemption learned at 12.

Step by step

Every line comes from one source unless marked: places and quests are checked, the order is our proposal.

Durotarlevels 1-10

  1. Step 1 — Valley of Trials (level 1-4)

    Welcome to the Valley, friend. Dusty, hot, and full of weapons nobody bothered to pick up. Nix hates waste. Let's tidy up for profit.

    • Gornek · 42.1, 68.3 → Wayward Weapons (pick up 6 Abandoned Training Weapons; turn in to Kzan Thornslash in the Den)

    • Norzsh · 40.5, 68.1

    • Zor'la · 42.7, 67.4

    • Kagil · 40.8, 67.9

    Class quests: Mage
    • Gornek · 42.1, 68.3 → Glyphic Parchment (Orc Mage: your class intro, ends with Mai'ah (42.5, 69.0))

    Learn one gathering trade before you leave. The Valley gives it to you for almost nothing.

  2. Step 2 — Razor Hill (level 5-7)

    Razor Hill, friend! The cook wants fruit that bites, the soldiers want their gear back from the humans' keep. Take every job before you walk out.

    • Turroc → For Honor (Raider's gear at Tiragarde Keep: axe 57.3, 56.4; bow 59.4, 56.4; shield in the watchtower)

    • Cook Torka → This Fruit Could Bite Back (8 Prickly Pear Fruit, Razormane Grounds west of town)

    • Vel'rin Fang → Legging It (Ridgeshade Creepers and Lurkers in south Durotar; turn in to Gar'thok)

    • Lost Journal → The Adventurer (an object; take it to Brakk near Razor Hill to start the camping quests)

    • Ukorsbane · 50, 56.5 (level 8 tarantula, west of Tiragarde Keep)

    Tiragarde Keep has three of your jobs in one place. One trip, three rewards.

  3. Step 3 — Sen'jin Village and the Echo Isles (level 6-9)

    Sen'jin, friend. Trolls with raptor problems, hex problems and a lost scout. Every problem has a price tag.

    • Xar'Ti → Bloodtalon Matriarch (eggs from a level 9 raptor; reward: Raptorscale Pants)

    • Pa'zula → A Pain in the Neck (3 Luminous Residue from Hexed Pendants on the Echo Isles; whether it needs Enchanting is still to check)

    • Pal'juh → Lost in the Shadows (escort out of Kolkar Crag; Kolkar Hammer or Kolkar Bow)

    • Master Vornal → Forgotten Loa Idols (8 idols on the Echo Isles; turn in to Master Gadrin; reward: Depleted Ritual Band)

    • Ukor's Lost Pack → Ukor's Lost Pack (an item that starts the quest; return it to Ukor in south Durotar)

    • Shal'ma (level 9 nightsaber on the Echo Isles; drops Shal'ma's Shawl)

    Escorts are slow, friend, but the hammer at the end is worth the walk.

Orgrimmar

  1. Step 4 — Orgrimmar errands (level 8-10)

    The big city, friend. Four new jobs behind Grommash Hold and in the Valley of Honor, open from level 5 to 9. City jobs, city money.

    • Thra · Orgrimmar → Rocks to Rests (behind Grommash Hold; pick one of 5 Friendship Bracelets)

    • Thatog · Orgrimmar → Meal Appeal, Favorite Food (via Borstan, ends with Migi)

    • Kor'geld · Orgrimmar → Yelmak's Medley (from 9; Yelmak's Alchemy)

    • Yelmak · Orgrimmar → Whuut's the Rush (2 Lesser Mana or 2 Healing Potions)

    • Orgrimmar flight master · Orgrimmar (learn the flight path: it is the only one near Durotar)

    These are quest level 15, friend: easy now, generous XP. Nix calls that a discount.

Durotarlevels 1-10

  1. Step 5 — Level 10: north Durotar (level 9-10)

    Ten coming up, friend. One last errand, two big beasts if you have friends, then the Barrens.

    • Orgnil Soulscar → A Missing Hand (from 9; find Heglan Shadeeye north of Tiragarde Keep)

    • Aggor the Young · 58.9, 16.9 (level 11 elite sea giant, Bladefist Bay; needed for Threat from Below)

    • Halikor · 43.4, 23.6 (level 12 thunder lizard, Thunder Ridge; drops Halikor's Hoof, which starts a quest)

    • Next: The Barrens, west of Durotar.

    Elites bite, friend. Nix only fights when somebody else pays for the bandages.

Done here? Next stop: 10-20
