Before you go

  • At 14, the Horde Cozy Sleeping Bag chain starts at a burnt tower south of Camp Taurajo (46, 74). The bag gives up to +3% XP.

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

  • Zeppelins link Orgrimmar, Undercity and Grom'gol. Undead can switch to the Barrens whenever they like.

  • Crafted food gives a small XP bonus. Cook what you skin, friend.

The Barrenslevels 10-25

  1. Step 1 — The Crossroads (level 10-14)

    The Crossroads, friend: the middle of everything. Flight path, inn, and enough jobs to keep you here for days. Set up shop.

    • Orcs and Trolls: walk west from Durotar past Far Watch Post. Tauren: walk east from Mulgore.To verify

    • Devrak · 51.5, 30.3 (learn the flight path)To verify

    • Innkeeper Boorand Plainswind · 52, 29.9To verify

    Keep your hearthstone here until about 19, friend. Everything in the north Barrens is a short walk from this inn.

  2. Step 2 — Ratchet (level 10-14)

    Ratchet! A goblin town, friend. Nix feels at home. Grab the flight path: the boat to Booty Bay sails from here too.

    • Bragok · 63.1, 37.2 (learn the flight path)

    • Boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay.

    Goblins run the docks, friend. Tip well, and they remember you.

  3. Step 3 — Orgrimmar: Ragefire Chasm (level 13-18)

    Under Orgrimmar there's a cave full of cultists, friend, and the quests for it are Horde only. Exclusive work. Nix's favourite.

    • Ragefire Chasm · Orgrimmar (entrance in the Cleft of Shadow; levels 13-18)

    Collect the quests in Orgrimmar first. Going in twice costs time, and time is gold.

  4. Step 4 — Central Barrens (level 14-18)

    South, friend. A famous corpse, a famous cave, and the start of your sleeping bag. Sleeping is a profitable hobby now.

    • Beaten Corpse · 49.3, 50.3 (starts the Mankrik's wife chain, from 14)To verify

    • Wailing Caverns · 46, 36.3 (Lushwater Oasis; run it once at 18-22 with its quests; sources give 15-24 or 17-24)Sources disagree

    The Wailing Caverns is a maze, friend. Bring a map, or bring someone who has one.

  5. Step 5 — Camp Taurajo (level 18-20)

    Camp Taurajo, friend, and just south of it a burnt tower with your sleeping bag inside. A bag that pays you to rest. Nix is jealous.

    • Omusa Thunderhorn · 44.5, 59.2 (learn the flight path)To verify

    • Innkeeper Byula · 45.6, 59To verify

    • Burned-Out Remains · 46, 74 (an object at the burnt tower; starts the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain from level 14)

    The chain's next step is a cart in Westfall (37, 50). Far away, friend, and full of humans. Plan the trip.

Thunder Bluff

  1. Step 6 — Level 20: class quests and training (level 14-20)

    Twenty, friend! Druids get their cat, professions reach Expert, and everyone gets new spells. Spend a little, earn a lot.

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

    • Next: Stonetalon, Ashenvale or Hillsbrad Foothills.

    Class quests: Druid
    • Thunder Bluff → Lessons Anew (level 14: Cure Poison)

    • Thunder Bluff → A Lesson to Learn (level 16: Aquatic Form)

    • Turak Runetotem · Thunder Bluff → The Great Cat Spirit, To Thunder Bluff (level 20; the last step comes from Dendrite Starblaze in Moonglade; teaches Cat Form, Claw, Prowl and Rip)

    Thirty is the beta cap, friend, and it's only one bracket away. Keep moving.

Done here? Next stop: 20-30
