Chapter 3 - [Level
50 - 60]
Journey from
Maraudon to Silithus
Introduction
This guide starts at level 50,
it is the 3rd chapter of my guide. Before starting I suggest you read the
introduction and recommendations of my 1st
Chapter. If you are already level 50+ and just found this guide, I suggest
you start at some point in the Chapter
II so you get the following quests, which we will be doing in this chapter:
However, if at any moment in the guide you lack quest log space (because of a
class quest you don't want to abandon for exemple), then abandon [50] Into the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, you can
easily get it back later on in Stormwind right before you go to the Sunken
Temple.
Also, this guide doesn't take
into account tradeskills, class specific quests or PvP. It's 100% focused on
getting the most experience possible in the shortest possible time while
doing a lot of quests and enjoying as much content as possible, any race/class
combination can do this guide. The most part of the guide is doable solo, when
it's not it will be mentioned. The guide has been tested with four different
characters, non twinked, played by the wow-pro team: a warrior, a mage, a rogue
and a hunter to ensure that the guide is accessible for any class. Enjoy!
Shopping List
Level 50
In
short: Go to Searing
Gorge.
In details: From Ironforge, fly to Thelsamar, then go south to
Inside
Searing Gorge:
Follow
the trail north and then west around the area named "The Cauldron"
and find Kalaran Windblade (38,39). Get the quest [48] Divine Retribution then talk to Kalaran
again and go through his dialogue. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [48] The Flawless Flame.
Go a
bit further west and you should find a path going up the mountain to Thorium
Point (32,33).
In
Thorium point, find an panel at (37,26). Right click it and get the
quests:
Get
the 3 quests from Hansel Heavyhands:
and [50] What the Flux? from Master
Smith Burninate.
Note: If you ever need to sell and repair, you
should go to this NPC.
Get
the flight path.
Your
quest log should look like this:
note: You should have [49] Rise of the Silithid instead of March of the
Silithid, which is the follow up. We will get it later in the guide.
Start
of Searing Gorge circuit #1
Start
killing the Dark Iron dwarves in the camp as well as the golems
around here. After you have killed 8 Dark Iron Gelologists and got 15 silk cloth (if you don't have them, kill more
of those dwarves, they drop silk cloth), go back to the Wooden Outhouse and
turn in the quest, don't get the follow up though.
At (66,44)
he will stop to catch his breath and will get ambushed by 4 lvl 43 Dark Iron
Steelshifter. Easy fight for you but make sure you get at least all but one
off Dorius quickly so that he doesn't die.
At (74,19)
he will get assassinated (you can't help it) and a parchment will appear on the
floor next to him.
Click
it and turn in the quest, get the follow up [48]
Suntar Stones.
Note: If while killing dwarves you find a "Grimsite Outhouse Key", right click it
to start the quest [47] The Key to Freedom,
we will turn it in later on.
Inside
the slag pit go across the bridge, on your left will be the Quarry Gate, go
through it.
Work your way northwards until a bigger room where you'll find Enslaved
Archeologists and a big 52 Elite elite golem lying down (ignore it).
Go up the iron slope, midway on the slope you have 2 options, straight or left.
Go straight. You'll soon enter a room with several pairs of taskmasters
and slavers.
In
this room further in and to the right you'll find Overseer Maltorius and
2 Dark Iron Sentries. These are 3 elites so you can't solo them. You can
either try to find more people (I managed to duo it with mage + paladin) or
just abandon this quest. However, behind these 3 elites you can find Secret Plans: Fiery Flux.
You
need to click the plan and not be interupted for 6 seconds. So how do you do
this? Well several classes can't do it, Paladins for example. Some can, like
mage:
Sheep
the overseer, let the 2 sentries come to you, Iceroot them, run for the scroll
and loot it fast, then jump down the ledge behind the scroll.
Or
warlock, hunter: Send in the pet, quickly loot the scroll and jump down.
Or
warrior: charge the Taskmaster, and use intimidating shout. Loot the scroll
quickly and jump down.
Engineers
can probably make it too if they got a high level target dummy.
Anyway,
that's if you can't find people to kill those 3 elites with you, so try to find
people for it and in the meantime you can go on with the other quests inside
the Slag Pit. Better try it with 2 other people, its a tough fight because
Overseer is a mage and casts polymorph. If you got paladin or priest they can
dispell it. Best is to sap/sheep Overseer and kill the 2 sentries first, then
deal with the overseer alone.
Kill
every Steamsmith you find around the buildings infront and to the left
of you after getting off the elevator (39,50). There is 5 Steamsmiths at
this spot, pray that one of them drops a smithing Tuyere. If not don't worry,
we'll kill more of these later.
You
should be level 51 by now, if not you should grind on dark
iron dwarves in the slag pit for exemple to catch up.
Level 51
There
is alot of them in an area west of the cauldron (28,47).
While
doing circles around the cauldron, make sure you kill the Dark Iron Lookouts
you can find at the feet of each of the 4 watch towers. They drop the spyglass
you need for one of the quests.
Note: The Thorium
Plated Daggers can drop on any dark iron dwarf, it generally takes me a
full turn around the cauldron to get 8 of them.
Turn
in the quest at Kalaran Windblade and get the follow up [50] The Flame's Casing (Elite)
You
can duo these two quests but it might be a bit tough depending on the class mix
you get. So if you find more it's even better.
If you
don't find people to help you immediatly, just keep on doing circles around the
cauldron killing dwarves, giants and greater lava spiders while waiting on
people to join your group.
The
pool of lava might look too crowded, but actually you can get solo pulls if you
know the trick. Out of the 6 mobs at this lava pool, 3 of them are Twilight
Idolaters, and they don't assist if you pull a mob that is next to them,
they are busy performing a ritual. They will only attack if you attack them
directly.
So
first you must pull the mobs one by one and then the idolaters. Once you go the lava pool cleared, you
can go get the quest from that captured elf, Zameal Lunthistle. After
taking his quest, talk to him again and go through his dialogue, then turn in
the quest and get the follow up: [50] Prayer to
Elune.
When you got both these items, you can say goodbye to your group and go back to
Kalaran Windblade. You can also go to thorium point for a quick sell/repair if
necessary.
Turn
in the quest at Squire Maltrake and get the follow up [52] Set Them Ablaze! (Elite)
Luckily,
this is one of the elite quests you can solo!
When
you are at the 1st watch tower, clear any mobs guarding it (minus the elite
inside of it), then search the Torch of Retribution in your inventory,
equip it, and put it on a hotkey.
There
is one elite Dark Iron Sentry on the tower, you don't need to kill it, just run
past it (or stealth past it if you are rogue/druid). If you can iceroot / sheep
/ fear it, do so, but you don't have to. Just ignore it, quickly search for a
small bowl on the floor named "Sentry
Brazier" and right click it.
It
will be instantly lit. Then jump down and run away to lose aggro on the elite.
Do
exactly the same thing on the 2nd tower (35,59), the 3rd tower (43,63)
and the 4th tower accessible only through a bridge at (52,57).
Note: The 4th tower is the one with the most Dark Iron Lookouts, in case
you didn't get a Lookout's Spyglass.
Optional: If you
feel like you are capable of soloing a level 48 Elite (green for you at lvl
51), or if you are not solo, from the grimsite camp go south and find a narrow
path going up the mountain at (65,80), you will find a named rhino named
Margol the Rager. I soloed him with ease at lvl 51 as mage, warrior and
rogue, I just used long cooldown abilities and didn't even need to use potions.
He wanders from this path in the mountain to his cave is at (72,77).
Loot
Margol's Horn from him and click it to start the quest [48] The Horn of the Beast.
You
don't need the Torch of Retribution anymore, you can destroy it or bank it.
In
Ironforge go to the Hall of Explorers and talk to Curator Thorius, turn in the
quest [48] Proof of Deed and [48] Suntara Stones. Take the follow up [48] At last!, don't get the other follow up.
Also get the quest [52] A Little Slime Goes a
Long Way from Laris Geardawdle and [52]
Passing the Burden from Historian Karnik if you don't have this
quest already (those who did Chapter II of my guide should have it).
End
of Searing Gorge circuit #1.
Note: I had XP Bonus for the major part of the
circuit, however if you do the math it's still around 30000 XP / hour.
Go back
to Ironforge, sell, repair, check the Auction house.
Go to
the Military Ward and get the follow up from Xiggs Fuselighter, turn in the
quest so you receive 2 "Standard Issue Flare
Gun".
Fly to
Menethil Harbor and take the boat to Auberdine, then fly to Rut'theran Village,
go to Darnassus and turn in the quests in the Temple of the Moon:
Go to Arch Druid Staghelm, who is on top of the tower at the Cenarion Enclave
and get the follow up [50] Un'Goro Soil.
Get
out of Darnassus and fly back to Auberdine, then fly to Gadgetzan.
In
Gadgetzan, turn in [53] March of the Silithid
at Alchemist Pestlezugg and get the follow up [53]
Bungle in the Jungle. Also get [54]
Super Sticky from Tran'rek.
Start
of Un'goro Circuit #1
Go
down the slope and find Torwa Pathfinder to the right up a small hill (71,75).
Get the 2 quests:
From now on, while in Ungoro Crater look around for crystals. There is 4 types
of crystals:
Red,
Blue, Yellow and Green crystals. Loot them anytime you see them until you got 7
of each color. Also look for Ungoro Dirt Piles and loot the Un'goro soil from them. Un'goro soil also drops
fairly often from most creatures in Un'goro crater, you should try to have at
least about 50 Ungoro Soil before we leave Un'goro, because we will need
extra soils for 2 other quests which will require you to transmuate Un'goro
soils into Morrowgrain.
Take a
dive right next to where the wrecked raft is and look underwater for yellow bag
called "A Small Pack". Click it, turn in and get the follow
up. You should receive a small pack in your inventory but don't open it for
now, it will save you some bagspace.
Kill
every dinausaur you find on your way and normally you should find a Mangled Journal at some point (if you don't you
will later on in Ungoro, don't worry). Right click the journal and get the
quest [50] Williden's Journal.
Level 52
Get
the following quests:
Turn
in [50] Williden's Journal and get [53] Expedition Salvation from Williden
Marshal and [52] Alien Ecology from
Hol'Anyee Marshal.
Open
the "small pack" in your inventory and loot all the items from it,
then turn in [52] It's a Secret to Everybody
at Linken (he's inside a tree trunk south of Williden Marshal), don't get the
follow up yet. You can destroy the throwing daggers and the Faded Photograph
from your inventory.
Get
her quest [53] Crystals of Power and
turn it in. Then get the 3 follow up quests she gives you:
Your
quest log should look like this:
There's
a weapon merchant, use it to repair and sell junk. You can also destroy the
extra power crystals if you still have any, for more bagspace.
From
this point on, kill the following mobs on sight:
And
also beware of the Tyrant Devilsaurs, there is a few of them roaming in
Un'Goro. They are lvl 55ish elite, run fast and hit hard. So watch your back.
Kill
apes there until you get 2 un'goro gorilla, stomper
and thunderer pelts. Inside the ape cave at the first fork go right
until you find A-Me 01, turn in the quest but don't get the follow up.
Be
careful when fighting the Un'Goro Gorillas, they call for help when they get
low health, and any other ape in a rather wide range will come to help. So,
fight them away from other apes.
Go
southeast until you find the Eastern Crystal Pylon (76,48). Click it and
examine it.
Go
south to Torwa Pathfinder (71,75) and turn in [55] The Apes of Un'Goro, don't get the follow up. Turn in [53] The Fare of Lar'Korwi. Don't get the
follow up.
At
this point you might already have gotten a Gorishi
Scent Gland. If you didn't, keep on killing these bugs until one drops.
It can drop from any of the bugs, inside or outside the lair, it doesn't
matter.
A bit
further to the west you should find another of those spots up the mountains
with 4 or 5 Pterrordax there (44,87), kill them. Stay at this spot until
you get your 10 Pterrodax kills, you can kill some bugs while waiting on
respawns.
(Quickly
because a Devilsaur roams at this place every now and then. :P)
Ride
northeast back to Marshall's Refuge and sell and repair.
If you
haven't finished [52] Muigin and Larion,
go out and kill some more flowers until you complete it. Go to the area which
is southeast of the black pools where we killed the Tar beasts. There are
plenty there and they are the easiest flowers to kill (65,27).
Also
make a stop at the Northern Crystal Pylon (55,13) and kill the 2
Pterrordax there, you should have your 10 Pterrordax kills then.
Get
out of the cave and get the quest from Linken [52]
It's a secret to everybody.
In
Gadgetzan, turn in [54] Super Sticky
and [53] Bungle in the Jungle, don't
get the follow up quest.
End
of Un'goro circuit #1
Note:
This time no xp bonus at
all, and the XP from turning in [50] Un'goro Soil is missing, because I went LD
before using hearthstone, and managed to take the screenshot quick. So that's actually
41000 XP/ Hour, not too shabby!
Go to
the top of the Cenarion tower and get the quest [50]
Morrowgrain Research from Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm. A floor below
get the follow up from Mathrengyl Bearwalker.
Search
your inventory for something named "Evergreen Pouch". From now
on, click it everytime the timer is ready, it will create an "Evergreen
herb casing", open it and loot what's inside. It can be various herbs but
sometimes it will be Morrowgrain, and that's
what you need. You need 2 Ungoro Soil
everytime you want to use the pouch, but you should still have about 20 left
even after turning the quests.
You
will need a total of 20 Morrowgrain, which you might not get if you are unlucky
with the evergreen pouch, however you will probably get 10 Morrowgrain at
least, and that's what you'll need in short term, the other 10 morrowgrains are
not so urgent, and we'll go back to Un'goro if you run out of Un'goro soils
anyway. However once you got 20 Morrowgrain you can stop using the evergreen
pouch. I personally sold the seeds and the un'goro soil I had left after
obtained my 20 morrowgrain, and also destroyed the evergreen pouch, because I
like having bag space :p. Don't stand still and do nothing while waiting on the
pouch timer though, go on with the next part of the guide! You can click on the
evergreen pouch every now and then everytime the cooldown is refreshed, until
you get 20 Morrowgrain.
Go to
Rut'Theran village and fly to Auberdine, then ride south following the road
until you zone into Ashenvale.
In
Ashenvale keep following the road until you hit Astraanar (36,49)
Make Astranaar your home location and get the new flight path.
Then
keep going east following the road until you zone into Azshara (92,46),
it's a long ride.
Right
after entering Azshara you'll find Talrendis Point to the right (11,77).
Get the new flight path. Get the two quests from the tauren named Loh'atu:
[47] A Land Filled with Hatred
[47] Spiritual Unrest
Go
north on the other side of the road to Shadowsong Shrine (13,74). Kill 6
Highborne Apparitions and 6 Highborne Lichling. There's more of them
just a bit further to the northeast
Level 53
Ride
southwest and find the path going down to the Shattered Strand (45,37),
it's right next to Ursolan, southeast of it. You'll encounter some naga
pretty soon, kill every naga on your way, go southwest, until you reach
the Ruins of Eldarath by a path at (41,48).
South
of it, at (39,50) you'll find a Pillar named Rune of Jin'yael, clear the
2 ghosts guarding it and any naga close to it. Right click the pillar,
it will use your drawing kit and you'll receive the Rubbing:
Rune of Jin'yael.
Just
southeast of this spot is the Rune of Markri (39,55), get the
rubbing.
And
the last one is much further to the south and a bit to the east, at (42,64)
you'll find the Rune of Sael'hai.
Grind
your way through nagas back from where you came from until the path leading to
the Shattered Strand at (45,47). Consider this as a mini grinding session,
because these nagas go down easily and there is a lot of them = good grind
spot.
You
should find "Some Rune" on one of
the nagas on the shattered strand, keep killing Spitelash sirens and myrmidons
until one drops "Some Rune".
Find
the slope taking you out of the Shattered Strand back on high ground at (46,39)
and then ride northeast back to Kim'Jael, turn in the quest.
Get on
the Helipad and use your Standard Issue Flare Gun from your inventory.
After a few seconds a gyrocopter will land and Pilot Xiggs will come out, turn
in the quest [52] Arcane Runes and
get the follow up [52] Return to Tymor
(don't worry there is still 7000 xp to come from turning that one, I didn't
make you cross the ocean for peanuts ) You can destroy the Flare Gun.
Ride
to felwood this time! Follow the road east and then north at the fork.
In
Felwood, stay on the road until you see an elf to the right named Arathandris
Silversky (54,86). Get the quest [55]
Cleansing Felwood.
Further
along the road you'll find Emerald Sanctuary, left of the road you'll see a
furlbog named Grazle (50,84), get the quest [48]
Timbermaw Ally from him.
In
Emerald Sanctuary get [51] Forces of Jaedenar
from Greta Mosshoofand [54] The Corruption of
Jadefire from Eridan Bluewind.
Also
get the quest [54] Verifying the Corruption
from Taronn Redfeather, don't get the other quest.
Fill
up 6 Cursed Ooze Jar in the same fashion.
Get
the follow up [52] Collection of the Corrupt
Water from Greta Mosshoof.
Ride
north on the road until (42,69), which is just before the green pool
where you killed the Cursed Oozes. Go west until you find Satyrs among
the ruins (38,69). Kill whats on the kill list of [54] The Corruption of the Jadefire.
Shadowstalkers are stealthed but you can see them from far enough. Work your
way westwards through the satyrs until you reach a green moonwell. Xavathras
should be to the left of it with a guard. I killed the weak guard first quickly
and then killed Xavathras. Use long cooldown abilities if needed. Then get the
last kills you need to complete the quest on your way out.
Get
close to the moonwell and click the Empty Canteen
you should find in your inventory.
Get
out of Jaedenar and ride back to Emerald Sanctuary. Turn in [52] Colleciton of the Corrupt Water and get
the follow up [52] Seeking Spiritual Aid.
Turn in [54] Corruption of the Jadefire
and get [54] Further Corruption.
In
Jadefire Run clear yourself a path towards the west, and then take a narrow
path towards the southwest.
At the
end of that path you'll find Xavaric (39,22), he is surrounded by
2 other satyrs and he moves from one to the other. You can actually pull each
of the guards solo, if you wait for Xavaric to be away enough from one of them.
Kill Xavaric, he's an easy fight if pulled solo.
Loot
the Flute of Xavaric and right click it to
get the quest [54] Flute of Xavaric.
Get
back on the main road, go east and then south to Talonbranch Glade (62,24).
Get the new flight path, sell and repair.
Get
back on the road and ride north until the entrance of Timbermaw Hold, talk to

[52] Secret of the Circle
Ride
west/southwest until the entrance to Un'Goro. (27,57)
Down
the slope in Un'Goro talk to Torwa Pathfinder (71,76). Get the 2 quests
from him:
[55] The Mighty U'Cha and
[56] The Bait for Lar'Korwi
If you
don't have enough space in your quest log (because of a class quest you don't
want to abandon for example), abandon [50] Into
the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, you can get it back easily in Stormwind
later on before going to Sunken Temple.
At the
end of the cave in a room with a puddle of water and a rock in the middle
you'll find U'cha, lvl 55 Gorilla. There's another gorilla in the same
room but you can pull it solo if you wait for U'cha to be away. Then pull U'cha
solo, kill it and loot his pelt.
Go
southwest until you hit the river (40,27). On the southern side of the
river you'll find plenty of Dinos and some Oozes.
In
this area, kill every Frenzied Pterrordax, Elder Diametradon and Ooze
you find. Open the "bag of empty ooze
containers" from your inventory and put the 10 "Empty Pure Sample" Jar on a hotkey. Everytime you
kill an ooze, loot it and then target the corpse and click the Jars to fill
them up. You can stop killing Oozes once you got 10 Pure samples.
Keep
doing this until you complete:
[51] Shizzle's Flyer
[51] Roll the Bones (they
drop from the Elder Diametradons approximately 25% drop chance)
[55] Beware of Pterrordax
[54] A Little Slime Goes a Long Way
This might
take a while but this is decent grinding since there's quite a lot of mobs, and
you are completing 4 quests at the same time.
Warning: Be
careful, 2 devilsaurs roam this area from time to time.
When
at the top of Fire Plume Ridge, next to the lava pool you should see a conic
stone named "Fire Plume Ridge Hot Spot". Search your inventory for Krakle's Thermometer, right click it next to the
conic stone, this should complete the quest [55]
Finding the Source. Don't get too close to the cave at the top,
there's a lvl 56 Elite elemental there, avoid it.
Ride
east/southeast to Torwa Pathfinder (71,76). Turn in the 2 quests:
[55] The Mighty U'cha
[56] The Bait for Lar'korwi
[55] Beware of Pterrordax
[55] A Little Help from my Friends
[51] Roll the Bones
[51] Shizzle's Flyer
Finally
some space in the quest log! Let's hope blizzard extends it to 25 someday :P
Hearthstone
to Ratchet, turn in [55] Volcanic Activity
at Liv Rizzlefix, in the house just down of the inn.
End
of xp rate winterspring --> Un'goro --> Ratchet
Note: This XP rate was just to show that with a
proper quest path, you get great results even though there was a lot of
travelling. This was done without any XP bonus.
Take
the boat to Booty Bay, then fly to Stormwind.
Follow my Guide to Sunken Temple.
Level 55
Take
the boat from Menethil Harbor to Auberdine, then fly to Rut'theran village, get
the quest [55] Moontouched Wildkin. Go
to Darnassus and make it your home location. For those who didn't turn in [50] Morrowgrain yet, go turn it in in
Darnassus at the Cenarion Enclave.
Fly to
Auberdine then to Astranaar. Ride to Felwood.
In
Felwood just off the road to the right, turn in the quest [55] Cleansing Felwood at Arathandris
Silversky (54,86). Talk to her and ask her for a Cenarion beacon. From
now on when you kill stuff in Felwood you can get Corrupted
Soul shards, which you will turn in later for cenarion plant salves.
With those salves you can cure corrupted plants in felwood and get consumables
in return.
Turn
in [54] Flute of Xavaric, get the
follow up [54] Felbound Ancients.
Turn in [54] Further Corruption and [54] Linken's Memory, get the follow up [54] Silver heart.
Turn in [54] Verifying the Corruption.
Get
back on the road, ride to Jaedenar (40,57). in Jaedenar clear the way
westwards until the green pool you already went to before to fill up the
vial. Enter Shadow Hold (35,58).
At
this point if you can find people to group it will be much easier. Dousing the
Flames of Protection is doable solo (but kinda hard), on the other hand there's
an escort quest which is almost impossible solo, at least for most classes. It
also depends on how crowded the area is, if there's lots of people farming in
the shadow hold already, it's doable solo.
Clear
your way down the first tunnel, in the first room you'll find a captured elve
named Arko'narin. This is the NPC that gives the escort quest, but to
get it you first need to find a Blood Red Key
from one of the mobs inside Shadow Hold, click it and get the quest [55] A Stranged Red Key. You have to turn this
quest at Captured Arko'narin later. The follow up will be the escort quest.
Defeat
it and then Arko'narin will leave and you'll get the quest complete message.
If you
don't find anyone to group with, just don't do the escort quest, clear your way
inside the Shadow Hold and turn off the 4 brazier.
Get
back on the road follow it until Talonbranch Glade, sell and repair then go to
Timbermaw Hold. In Timbermaw go to the winterspring exit.
Right
outside of Timbermaw Hold get the quest [58]
Winterfall Activity from Salfa.
From
now on, throughout winterspring look for big white/blue feathers on the floor
named "Moontouched Feather", you need 10 of these.
Keep
killing these Furlbogs until you also get a Empty
Firewater Flask, click it and get the quest [56]
Winterfall Firewater.
Get
back on the road, go south to the crossroads, when you are there go southeast
this time until everlook.
End
of circuit Felwood --> Everlook:
Note: I had XP Bonus during 90% of that one. So
that's about 35000 XP / Hour.
In
the Inn, get the quests:
[52] Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff
[52] The Everlook Report
[55] Sister Pamela
You
can put in bank "The Everlook Report"
and "Studies in Spirit Speaking".
I'll say when to get them back from the bank later in the chapter.
Sell and repair, resupply food and drink (4 stacks), get the flight path (it's
on the eastern side of Everlook.)
Turn
in [56] Threat of the Winterfall and [56] Winterfall Firewater, get the follow up [56] Falling to Corruption.
Ride
north, back to Timbermaw Hold, go through it to Felwood. As soon as you exit in
Felwood, jump down west in Felpaw Village. Clear yourself a path to the camp
which is on the upper level of Felpaw Village, northwest of the green pool.
Now if
you haven't gathered your 10 Moontouched Feathers yet, go do it, then
Hearhstone to Darnassus.
In
Darnassus go to the Temple of the Moon and fill up Eridan's Vial in the
pool. Go to the bank and put the 4 relic fragments
there, as we won't be needing them for a while. You can destroy Jaron's Pick
too.
You
should be 56 by now, so go get your new skills. If you aren't 56
yet it's not a problem, we'll be back in town in a few.
Level 56
Start
of XP Circuit Felwood --> Everlook #2
Inside
Felwood just on the right side of the road you'll find Arathandris Silversky (54,86).
Turn in the Salve quests you completed there (if you don't have any gathering
skill, you will only have Salve via Hunting completed). These quests are
repeatable but only the first turn ins give XP. On the other hand you get Cenarion Plant Salves which you can use to cleanse
corrupted plants in Felwood and get buffs or consumables from them. Check this guide for more details.
Get
the two follow ups:
[58] A Final Blow
[57] Retribution of the Light
Also turn in [54] Silver Heart and [54] Felbound Ancients at Eridan Bluewind.
Get the follow up [54] Aquementas.
Also get the follow up [54] Purified!,
turn it in, you'll get the "Flue of the Ancients" as reward.
You
can pull Rakaiah solo, the 4 warlocks will be aggro on you but won't attack as
long as you don't directly attack them. After you got rid of Rakaiah, you will
still be locked in combat mode because of the 4 warlocks, to lose combat mode
you just have to run back some distance away from them until they forget you.
Basically they never attack you unless you directly attack them. However the
warlock's imp pets will attack you and you should dispose of them.
Go
left and keep going in that direction until you reach a big room where you'll
find Shadow Lord Fel'dan and his two succubus guards.
It
wasn't an easy fight to solo, I basically used everything I had with the mage
and rogue. I sheeped Shadow Lord Fel'dan and killed the two succubus fast. Same
with rogue, I sapped the shadow lord and killed it last. With the warrior I
used retaliation. Don't forget to loot the head of
the Shadow Lord.
This
part of the dungeon is just much easier with a group, you can try it solo but I
recommend at least finding a person to duo it with.
Go to
the crater at (49,27), you'll find plenty of Toxic Horrors there,
kill them until you got 3 Toxic Horror Droplet.
There's more Toxic Horrors all around the big green pool just north of the
crater.
Get
back on the road and ride east to Azshara, go to Talrendis Point and fly to
Talonbranch Glade. Sell and repair. Go to Winterspring through Timbermaw Hold.
Time
to find those runners!
Check the map below to see which path they follow, they are on the road from
Timbermaw entrance to the crossroads, then they go around the mountain by the
north and to Winterfall Village.
When
you find the 3 Winterfall runners (lvl 57), you don't have to kill all
3. Just kill one fast and run away, come back and loot the crate. They all drop
it.
Go to
Everlook, resupply food/drink up to 4 stacks, sell and repair.
End
of Circuit Felwood --> Everlook #2:
Go
east of Everlook to Winterfall Village (66,33), kill 8 Winterfall
Shamans and 8 Winterfall Ursa there.
Once
that is done, go south over the mountain to Ice Thistle Hills (65,41).
Kill Ice Thistle Yetis there until you have 10
Thick Yeti Fur.
Click
on the Damaged Crate, turn in the quest and get the follow up. Go east and
you'll find a wagon with a keg atop at (61,60) just west of the road.
Jaron's
Supplies are at the
wagon, they are small crates half burried in the snow, loot one of them. Then
get back on the road and ride south, go over the ice bridge and keep going
south until you discover Darkwhisper Gorge and get the complete message for [56] Strange Sources.
Escort
her to the cave, inside the cave she'll start to cast a spell, while she does,
click on the stave infront of her named "Fire of Elune" and it
will be lit. You can drink/eat while she is channeling her spell, you don't
have to light the torch immediately.
Always
let her in front and get the first hit. Escort her inside the 5 caves and
light the 5 torches. Then she will go to the altar of elune, which you will
have to click too. Then a beautiful scene will happen and you will have the
quest complete message at the end of it.
While
escorting her you should have normally looted the Blue-Feathered
Amulet you need for the other quest. If you didn't, keep killing these
owlbeasts until one drops.
Go
back to Everlook, turn in [58] Are We There,
Yeti? and get the follow up. Find a goblin named Legacki, she
stands to the left of the Inn. Target her and right click Umi's Mechanical
Yeti from your inventory.
Go
west to Donova Snowden, turn in the quest [56]
Strange Sources and [57] Winterfall
Runners and get away from the pool. 3 Winterfall Ambushers
will spawn shortly after you turn in the quest, but if you are away enough they
won't aggro you. Don't get the follow up.
Hearthstone
to Darnassus, go out to Rut'theran village and turn in [59] Guardians of the Altar and get the follow
up [57] Wildkin of Elune. Go back
inside Darnassus to Arch Druid Staghelm at the Cenarion Enclave and turn in the
quest.
End
of circuit Everlook --> Darnassus:
Note: No XP bonus at all.
Level 57
If you
didn't turn in [53] The God Hakkar
yet, go east to Steamwheedle Port and turn it in.
Open
the blue bag named "Eridan's Supplies",
loot everything from it. Then step inside the circle and click the Book of
Aquor. Aquementas, a lvl 54 elemental, will come to the circle and
attack you. You don't have to kill it, just have to stand in the stone circle
and let him attack you once. If you want to kill it, just know that he is
immune to frost and deals frost damage (mages use Frost Ward). He should be
a cakewalk at level 57.
You should now have the Silver Totem of Aquementas. If you do, you can
destroy the "Book of Aquor", the "Silver Claws" and the
"Irontree Heart".
At
Marshall's refuge turn in [52] Haze of Evil,
and then turn in the follow up immediatly (thanks to the 3 Bloodpetal sprouts
you just gathered on the way).
Anyway
here is how to defeat Blazerunner, the last boss of the long quest chain
"Linken's Adventure". Go to the top of fire plume ridge, clear all
the elementals around to make sure they don't add during the fight.
Equip the Silver Totem of Aquementas and put
it on a hotkey. Click it to dispel Blazerunner's aura right at the start
and everytime it reappears. Blazerunner is somewhat invincible when his aura is
on, he keeps knockbacking people and every damage he takes is divided by 10. So
be sure to always keep that aura dispelled.
Another thing, fight him inside his cave with your back facing the walls, so if
he knockbacks you when the aura appears again you won't end up being tossed off
the mountain or into adds.
He's a tough fight, I did it with a level 57 Priest, a level 55 Paladin and me
(lvl 57 rogue) and it wasn't easy. On the other hand I soloed it with my lvl 57
frost mage, thanks to kiting, it took time and several attempts though. So I
recommend saving that quest for when you are level 60 and have time to spend on
it, unless you got enough people to help you immediately. Anyway if you do
manage to kill Blazerunner, you must also go loot the Ornate Chest in
his cave. Then turn in the quest at Linken.
Hearthstone
to Gadgetzan, fly to Auberdine, take the boat to Menethil Harbor, fly to
Ironforge.
In
Ironforge, sell/repair, resupply food and drink (4 stacks), check the AH.
Go to the throne room and take the quest [54]
The Smoldering Ruins of Thaurissan from Royal Historian Archesonus,
then talk to her again and go through her dialogue. Turn in the quest and get
the follow up.
Go to
the bank and get your Black Dragonflight Molt from it (if you don't have
it on you already, that is).
Go

going up the mountain with torches on each side (83,63).
Ride
northwest to Flame Crest (63,30), get [52]
Broodling Essence from Tinkee Steamboil and [50] Tablet of the Seven from Maxwort
Uberglint.
From
now on try to find a partner or more to do the quest [54] Dragonkin Menace (Elite), some of the dragons will
most likely be too hard for you to solo, so ask for help (Hunters, Warlocks and
frost mages will probably be able to solo them though). If you don't find help
immediatly for it, proceed with the next steps of the guide while actively
looking for people to help you with the dragons. When you find someone, go to
the paragraph called "Dragonkin Menace".
At
this point if you still haven't found someone to help you, grind on Orcs at the
Blackrock Stronghold or PIllar of Ash. Ask your guild for help or your friends,
but get someone to help you for [54] Dragonkin
Menace.
When
you find a partner to duo the dragonkins with, go to the area which is north of
Dreadmaul Rock (78,28), you should find Black Broodlings there.
Search your inventory for Draco-Incarcinatrix 900
and put it on a hotkey. Use it on every Black Broodling before killing them.
When they die while having the incarcinatrix aura on, a crystal will appear at
their corpse named "Broodling Essence". You need 8 of these.
Make a semi circle around the eastern side of Dreadmaul Rock, that's where
you'll find the dragonkins you need. Complete the kill list of [54] Dragonkin Menace while getting the 8 Broodling Essence as well.
Before you leave this area go to the northeastern edge of it, you'll find a
cave with Cyrus Therepentous in it.

get the follow up.
Ride
northwest and then west along the road which is north of the area called
"The Pillar of Ash".
On the
western end of The Pillar of Ash you should find Gor'tesh next to an orc
bunker (39,53). Kill Gor'tesh, be carefull he hits hard and has one
guard. Use everything you got if needed. Loot his head.
Go
back to Morgan's Vigil. Turn in [53] Gor'tesh
the Brute Lord and get the follow up [53]
Ogre head on a stick = Party.
Turn in [53]The True Masters, don't
get the follow up. We will get all these Blackrock Depths quests later on when
we go do the instance.
Note: I got delayed a lot because someone was
doing the onyxia key quest where a bunch of elite dragons attack Highlord
Bolvar, had to wait quite a while for Lady Katrana Prestor to reappear. Still
decent.
Sell
and repair, check the AH, resupply food and drink (4 stacks) get the following
quest item from your bank:
"Everlook

Aregent Officer Pureheart, also complete the quest Argent Dawn Commission,
you will receive a trinket.
When you kill undeads while having this trinket equiped, you can collect Scourgestones
from their bodies. I suggest equiping it from now on everytime you kill undeads
in eastern and western plaguelands.
Turning
in these Scourgestones at Argent Officer Pureheart gets you faction
increases with the Argent Dawn and a token. These tokens are the only way
to raise your faction with the Argent Dawn at a certain point in reverred, so
save them until then. Check
blizzard's official homepage to see what rewards you get at the different
faction levels.
Don't

Go
back through Sorrow Hill and enter the Ruins of Andorhal by the south gate (49,73).
In

abominations roam them. So just clear yourself a path through the destroyed
houses. Also avoid the center of the town of course, there's a huge bunch of
mobs there and Araj the Summoner (lvl 61 elite).
Go to
the Tower One which is direclty to the west (40,71). It's close
to the western entrance to Andorhal. Mark it with the torch just like you did
for the previous tower.
Go to Tower
Two, northeast of tower one (42,66). It's close to the northern
entrance to Andorhal. Mark it.
The
Tower Three is right behind tower two, northeast of it. Be careful of the

the cauldron and click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [53] Return to Chillwind Camp.
In the

Outhouse Key". Go behind the barn, you'll find an Outhouse (48,49).
Open it, kill Farmer Dalson, loot Dalson Cabinet

lumbermill, go northeast of it, follow a trail going down to a destroyed wagon.
You'll find Kirsta Deepshadow there (51,28), get the quest [56] Unfinished Business.
You
can find the Scarlets Knights and Mages you need to kill for the

wait for Cavalier Durgen to show up. He goes to the top of the tower
then walks back to the entrance. You don't need to go look for him inside the
tower.

the Marris Stead so that you are on the east of it (29,74).

Insignia (Turyen) from it.
Go a bit closer to Nathanos, on a small mound right infront of him you should

Darrowshire, find a small destroyed house on the western side of Darrowshire.

Now
you must find the 3 parts of pamela's doll, they can be in any of the other
houses in Darrowshire, mostly on the 2nd floor of it. Look on the floor for

55 ghost spawns and attack you.
Go
back towards the Marris Stead and keep doing wide circles around it killing
everything until you got 30 Plaguebat and 20 Plaguehound Runts
slain. This is the best area to find them.
Go
east to the area north of the infectis scar and Corin's Crossing. Kill
everything around until you have 5 Plaguehound Kills. Focus on Carrion

sell the eyes at the AH for nice cash.
Turn
in [62] The Eastern Plagues at Flint
Shadowmore, get the follow up [62] The
Blightcaller Cometh.
End
of circuit Plaguelands #2:
Fly to
Ironfore, make the Inn your home location, go to the bank and get the
following quest items:
The
4 Relic Fragments.
Fly to
Chillwind Camp. Get the quest [55] A Plague Upon
Thee from Nathaniel Dumah.
Ride
east to Sorrow Hill and find Marlene Redpath in the only house there is (49,78).
Turn
in [56] Auntie Marlene and get the
follow up [56] A Strange Historian (Elite).
Search
the graveyard just north of the house where Marlene Redpath is, look for "Joseph
Redpath's Monument" among the graves (49,76). Click the grave
and get Joesph's Wedding Ring.
Just a
bit inside Andorhal go to the house to the north, it's the only house around
with a floor and not totally destroyed (39,68). Inside the house go to
the 2nd floor, in one of the rooms you'll find Chromie. Turn in [b][56] A Strange historian[/b], get the follow up [56] The Annals of Darrowshire. Also ge the
other quest [56] A Matter of Time.
Get full
hp/mana, get next to one of them and click your Temporal
Displacer (looks like a horn). 1 to 3 lvl 57 worms will spawn and
attack you. When it's 3 it might be tough to handle solo, so always start
those fights with full hp and if possible potions / long cooldown abilities up.
Back off from the silos after you summon the worms, if you stay too close more
worms will spawn sometimes, and that's probably more than you can handle solo.
The
worms only appear when the silo is sparkling blue. They take a while to sparkle
again after you use the temporal displacer next to them. There's 3 more silos
just a bit more to the east.
Keep
doing that until you have 15 Temporal Parasites slain.
Now
what you have to do is go from destroyed house to destroyed house in Andorhal
and look for Small Lockboxes like this:
Loot
the Andorhal Watch from it. Keep doing this until you have 5 Andorhal Watches.
Inside
the town hall you'll find several "Musty Tome" lying on the
floor. When you click one, there is a chance you will find the Annals of Darrowshire, but there is a higher
chance that you will get a "Ruined Tome"
and 1 or 2 level 57 mobs will attack you. They give no loot and no exp.
Hoewever there is a trick to know which tome is the right one. There is a
slight graphical difference. The pages of the fake tomes have two-tone
colored pages, lightbrown and white, like this one:
The
good tome looks "newer", and it's pages only have one color tone,
like this one:
You
can easily see the difference if you zoom in 1st person view and put your mouse
pointer over the books to highlight them. Loot the Annals of Darrowshire.
Turn
in [56] The Annals of Darrowshire,
get the follow up [56] Brother Carlin.
Now
you should also have finished [57] Skeletal
Fragments, if you haven't, kill some more skeletons while you are in
Andorhal.
Turn
in [56] Demon Dogs, [56] Blood Tinged Skies and [56] Carion Grubbage. Get the follow up [56] Redemption. Listen to Tirion's tale, turn
in the quest and get the follow up [57] Of
Forgotten Memories.
Behind
the crypt in the Undercroft you'll find Tiron Fordring's Grave (28,86).
Next to should be a "Loose Dirt Mound". This is where you need
help, this almost impossible to do solo unless you use a lot of creativy and
everything you got. Anyway here is what happens when you click the dirt mount, Mercutio
Filthgorger and 3 Dwarf Graverobbers spawn and go to the dirt mound,
if you are close they of course jump you.
They all hit hard, especially Mercutio, and all have a lot of hit points for
non elites. Here is what I suggest:
As
soon as you click the dirt mount, run to the other side of the fence, you can
jump over it if you walk up the mountain a bit. The 4 dwarves will walk to the
grave and stand there.
You
have two ways to do this now:
1. Polymorph Mercutio (if you have a
mage with you) and kill the 3 gravediggers. Then bandage up and kill
Mercutio, loot his hammer.
2. Ignore the 3 adds and go all out on
Mercurio, loot the hammer and run.
Use
creativity with the classes you have!
Ex: With my rogue I got help from a warrior.
He charged Mercutio and used intimidating shout as soon as possible to send the
3 gravediggers away for 10 sec or so. We both went all out on Mercutio, looted
and ran away. Anyway, if you don't get help immediatly, there's something to do
in the Undercroft while you look for help:
Go
inside the crypt (27,85), clear the way down, kill Zaeldarr the
Outcast and loot his head.
In the same room look for a "Torn Scroll" on the floor, click
it can get the quest [60] Hameya's Plea.
If you
still didn't get anyone to help you on [57] Of
Forgotten Memories, grind on the trolls in the Undercroft while
waiting for someone to help you. It just takes 10 min! Call a guildmate or
something.
Get
back into Eastern Plaguelands and ride east to Light's hope Chapel. Turn in [56] Brother Carlin, get the follow up [57] Villains of Darrowshire and [56] Heroes of Darrowshire.

out of the Infectis scar by the way you came in.
Loot
it.
Go
north and slightly to the east to Northpass Tower (55,24). Turn in [56] Troubled Spirits of Kel'Theril at Aurora
Skycaller inside the tower, don't get the follow up.
You should be level 59 by now.
Level 59
and
loot them.
Kill
stuff inside plaguewood while looking for those termite mounds, but also try to
find as much Cannibal Ghouls as possible. Anytime you kill one of these,
a Spirit of Darrowshire will appear, right click it to free it. You need to
free 15 Darrowshire Spirits. The Cannibal Ghouls are not so numerous
though, so it will take a while, consider this as a mini grinding session, plus
you are getting faction with the Argent Dawn and Scourgestones.
Clear
the way up the slope, and to the east, you'll soon face a big pyramid. At it's
base you should see tombs with some trolls roaming about them. One of them is Infiltrator
Hameya.
Clear
some of the trolls until you get a clear pull on Hameya, pull him solo and kill
him, then loot his key.
Loot
it.
Ride
southeast back to Light's Hope Chapel.
Turn
in [55] Defenders of Darrowshire and [57] Villains of Darrowshire. Get the quest [56] Heros of Darrowshire. We won't be doing
it in the guide, however it's one of the cool quest lines to do at level 60.
Ride
northwest back to Tirion Fordring, turn in [58]
Of Lost Honor and get the follow up [58]
Of Love and Family.
Go
south and then west back into the Western Plaguelands.
This
quest will be taking you to Stratholme so it's something we won't do in the
guide. However it is a great quest, yet another 'must do" at level 60.
Swim
west until you reach Sorrow Hill, then ride west to Chillwind Camp. Turn in [57] Skeletal Fragments, get the follow up [57] Mold Rhymes With...
This
is for your Scholomance Key quest,
and clearly yet another "must do" at level 60. Don't forget to take
the quest [60] Alas, Andorhal from
Commander Ashlam Valorfist when you go kill Araj for your Scholomance Key quest
- killing two birds with one stone.
Turn
in [55] A Plague Upon Thee, take the
follow up [55] A Plague Upon Thee.
Go
back to Chillwind Camp, turn in [55] A Plague
Upon Thee.
End of circuit Plaguelands #3
Go to
the throne room, get the quest get quest [60] An
Earnest Proposition from Deliana.
Also get [59] Kharan Mighthammer from
King Magni Bronzebeard while you are here.
Go to
Auberdine, fly to Everlook, Winterspring. (or ask a mage to teleport you to
Darnassus, then fly to auberdine --> everlook).
In
Everlook, turn in [58] Are We There, Yeti?
at Umi Rumplesnicker.
Turn
in [54] Felnok Steelspring, get the
follow up [54] Chillwind Horns.
Once
you got 8 Uncracked Horns, go west, closer to Frostsaber Rock, you will find a
lot of tigers there. Kill them until you got 15
"Winterspring Blood Sample". This will take a while, but it's
normal, this is your new armor set quest (For Dungeon Set 2).
Hearthstone
to Ironforge, go to the throne room, turn in [60]
An Earnest Proposition at Deliana and get your Dungeon Set 1 bracers
updated! 3 Spectral stalkers (non elite) will spawn and attack Deliana,
help her to kill them.
Get the follow up [60] A Supernatural Device.
This is the next step for your armor quest, but we won't be doing it in this
guide, that's yet another thing for you to do at level 60!
It's
time for you to go to Blackrock Depths! Gather all the quests, follow this guide. Don't forget to
take your Altered Black Dragonflight Molt
with you, and also go turn in [54] Return to
Tinkee in the Burning Steppes at Flame Crest.
Doing
Blackrock Depths and all the quests should easily ding you 60, and some of
these quests are important for your level 60 life:
However,
if after Blackrok Depths and all it's quest XP rewards you are still level 59,
here is one last bonus XP circuit (And remember, after patch 1.10 you will be
able to cash in quests for gold - means epic mount sooner ):
Go to
Gadgetzan, turn in [57] Mold Rhymes With...
get the follow up [57] Fire Plume Forged.
Ride
to Un'Goro Crater, right after entering it from the slope, go northwest to Fire
Plume Ridge, climb to the top of it. Go next to the lava pool and right click
your Skeleton Key Mold from your inventory.
Get [55] Securing the Supply Lines from Windcaller
Proudhorn. [55] Deadly Desert Venom,
from Beetix Fickelspragg on the 1st Floor of the Inn.
[58] The Twilight Mystery from
Geologist Larksbane
[60] Secret Communication from Bor
Wildmane
Keep
kiling around this camp until you complete [b][60]
Secret Communication[/b], [55] Deadly
Desert Venom and [55] Securing the
Supply lines.
It's
gonna take a while. But anyway this is good because you are working on our
cenarion faction (which is very good at level 60 for many reasons, check
Blizzard's homepage here for rewards etc.) and you get Glowing Scorpid Blood, which can be traded for
tickets at the Darkmoon Faire. (or sell for nice cash if you aren't
interested in the Darkmoon faire rewards).
While
killing Twilight mobs, you will sometimes find Twilight
Cultist Robe, Mantle and Cowl.
Keep
them, you will need them later on for level 60 faction quests with cenarion.
Things
to be careful with:
Don't
touch the greater wind stones or you'll get nuked by it. These stones are to be
used while wearing the full twilight cultist set and only when doing specific
quests. Don't bother with them for now.
Avoid Twilight Keeper Havunth, he hurts a lot and doesn't drop anything
particular.
The Scorpids you need to kill are the grey/green ones, named Stonelash
Scorpids, NOT the golden ones. Kill Twilight mobs until you finish [60] Secret Communication.
When
you are done with them, go northwest, kill every Dredge Crusher you see
on the way. Keep going northwest until you are in the northwestern most corner
of Silithus named "The Crystal Vale" (20,18). Look around for "Twilight
Tablet Fragments", they look like this:
As
soon as you have 8 tablets, go southeast
towards Cenarion Hold, kill every Dredge Crusher on the way so that you finish [57] Stepping Up Security.
LEVEL 60 -- End
of chapter III!
