Note: This guide is not meant for power-leveling purposes. Rather, it is meant to show a player the most efficient way to complete all quests available for a particular zone. If you know of a better order or method to accomplish this, your input is welcome (in fact, greatly desired). For major changes, feel free to edit, but make a note in the talk page as to your reasoning.

Shadowglen (LVL 1-5)

See Also: Powerlevel Shadowglen

Shadowglen is the starting zone for new night elves, and is located in north eastern part of Teldrassil. Other races may choose to quest here, but not all quests are available to them. If you are new to the game, check out the Newbie Guide to get started, or just dive in - the game has in-game hints and the opening quests are very straight-forward, just relax and have fun!

[7] Seek Redemption!	Syral Bladeleaf	Dolanaar
[7] Timberling Seeds	Denalan	Lake Al'Ameth

• If you haven't done so, pick up the quests  [5] Denalan's Earth and  [7] Seek Redemption! from Syral Bladeleaf in Dolanaar.
• Head down to the lake south of Dolanaar. Pick up any Fel Cones you see along the way - they tend to be on the slope above the lake or near trees and can be a bit hard to find.
• Denalan can be found at the northeastern side of the lake. Talk to him to get  [7] Timberling Seeds and  [7] Timberling Sprouts.
• The timberlings who drop the seeds and the Timberling Sprouts are all along the northern half of the lake, and Fel Cones can be found in the same area. Once you have the required number of each, return to Denalan and turn in the two Timberling quests.
• Then head northeast of Dolanaar to give the satyr the Fel Cones.

Running Errands

Quest name	Quest giver	Subzone
[7] Twisted Hatred	Tallonkai Swiftroot	Dolanaar
[8] Ferocitas the Dream Eater	Tallonkai Swiftroot	Dolanaar

The next two quests are not connected or even in the same area, but should be done at this time for leveling purposes. Both  [7] Twisted Hatred and  [8] Ferocitas the Dream Eater can be a pain, so bringing a friend along is helpful.

•  [7] Twisted Hatred: The cave for this quest is in the hills just north of Dolanaar. Locate the satyr Lord Melenas and kill him, then return to Tallonkai Swiftroot in Dolanaar with his head.
•  [8] Ferocitas the Dream Eater: The furbolgs for this quest, along with Ferocitas the Dream Eater, are camped just north of Starbreeze Village. Right click the necklace looted from Ferocitas to get Tallonkai Swiftroot's gem, and return it to him after killing the required number of mystics.

The Ban'ethil Barrow Den

Quest name	Quest giver	Subzone
[8] The Road to Darnassus	Moon Priestess Amara	Road west of Dolanaar
[8] The Sleeping Druid	Oben Rageclaw	Ban'ethil Barrow Den
[9] The Relics of Wakening	Athridas Bearmantle	Dolanaar
[10] Druid of the Claw	Oben Rageclaw	Ban'ethil Barrow Den

Map location of the Ban'ethil Barrow Den

The barrow den is a difficult area for new players and is also rather large. It is much more enjoyable to do this quest with one or more other people.

• Make sure you have the quest  [9] The Relics of Wakening from Athridas Bearmantle in Dolanaar.
• Walk along the road to the west of Dolanaar until you find Moon Priestess Amara and pick up  [8] The Road to Darnassus.
• The Ban'ethil Barrow Den is in the hills of central Teldrassil, accessible from the north. Along the way you should encounter the Gnarlpine Ambushers you need for  [8] The Road to Darnassus.
• Once inside, search for the chests containing the artifacts for  [9] The Relics of Wakening. Search also for the ghost of the night elf Oben Rageclaw, who will give the quest  [8] The Sleeping Druid.
• Once you have found a [Shaman Voodoo Charm] from one of the furbolg shamans, return to Oben Rageclaw to receive the next quest,  [10] Druid of the Claw. Note that some people skip this quest since it often takes a long time to find the voodoo charm.
• Locate the druid's body at the bottom of the barrow den and kill it, then use the charm. Return to Oben for a reward.
• Find any relics for the  [9] The Relics of Wakening you still have left, then return to Athridas Bearmantle in Dolanaar.

The Pools of Arlithrien

Quest name	Quest giver	Subzone
[10] The Glowing Fruit	Strange Fruited Plant	South-western Teldrassil
[9] Crown of the Earth (4)	Corithras Moonrage	Dolanaar
[12] Ursal the Mauler	Athridas Bearmantle	Dolanaar
[10] Vorlus Vilehoof	Elanaria	Warrior's Terrace in Darnassus

Hunters should do their pet quests around this time, as soon as they hit level 10. See the Taming the Beast quest chain (night elf) for details.

Warriors should head to Darnassus to pick up their level 10 quest at this point as well. If you aren't level 10 yet, grind until you get there.

• Get the following quests from Dolanaar before setting out:
  •  [9] Crown of the Earth (4)
  •  [12] Ursal the Mauler
• Head along the road to the west past the hills where the Ban'ethil Barrow Den is. Just before the entrance to Darnassus, turn left (south).
• Just southeast of the big lake is the moonwell you need for  [9] Crown of the Earth (4). Right click your phial to fill it.
• Go as far to the southwest as you can. Along the way you should see the Strange Fruited Plant, which looks like a giant tree with a pink glow around it. Right click it to receive the quest  [10] The Glowing Fruit.
• You will come upon a furbolg settlement. Search the settlement for Ursal the Mauler and defeat him.
• Warriors on the quest [10] Vorlus Vilehoof should now head towards the eastern side of the hills where the Ban'ethil Barrow Den is. You will find a path heading up into the hills, which will eventually lead to the moonwell and the satyr, Vorlus Vilehoof, whom you are after. Defeat him to complete your quest.
• Return to Dolanaar and turn in the quests (Warriors head to Darnassus to turn in yours).

The Oracle Glade

Quest name	Quest giver	Subzone
[7] Rellian Greenspyre	Denalan	Lake Al'Ameth
[9] Tumors	Rellian Greenspyre	Darnassus
[10] The Shimmering Frond	Strange Fronded Plant	North-western Teldrassil
[11] The Enchanted Glade	Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak	The Oracle Glade
[11] Teldrassil	Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak	The Oracle Glade
[12] Mist	Mist	The Oracle Glade
[12] The Moss-twined Heart	[Moss-twined Heart] drop from the rare spawn Blackmoss the Fetid	Along the river north-east of The Oracle Glade
[11] Crown of the Earth (5)	Corithras Moonrage	Dolanaar
[12] Tears of the Moon	Priestess A'moora	The Temple of the Moon in Darnassus
[10] The Apple Falls	Jannok Breezesong <Rogue Trainer>	Dolanaar
[10] Destiny Calls	Syurna <Rogue Trainer>	Cenarion Enclave in Darnassus

There are a lot of quests in the Oracle glade, and it is most efficient to do them all at once. However, make sure you prepare properly, or you may need to make multiple trips back to civilization for supplies.

• In Dolanaar, gather the following quests:
  •  [11] Crown of the Earth (5)
  • [10] The Apple Falls (rogues only)
• Head down to Lake Al'Ameth and pick up  [7] Rellian Greenspyre from Denalan.
• Travel west to Darnassus and turn in  [7] Rellian Greenspyre and [10] The Apple Falls. Pick up:
  •  [9] Tumors
  •  [12] Tears of the Moon
  • [10] Destiny Calls (rogues only)
• Once you have the quests, head out of Darnassus and hang a left (north). Follow the road straight up to the moonwell and fill up your phial for  [11] Crown of the Earth (5). Now talk to the night elf by the moonwell to get  [11] The Enchanted Glade.
• Find Mist, the nightsaber, in the farthest northwestern point of the island. Talk to her to receive  [12] Mist. You will need to escort her back to the Oracle Tree (where the Sentinel and moonwell are). Kill harpies for the  [11] The Enchanted Glade quest as you go.
• Nearby (slightly to the northeast of where Mist was) you should find the Strange Fronded Plant. Right click it to receive the quest  [10] The Shimmering Frond.
• Head back to the southwest and defeat any more harpies needed for  [11] The Enchanted Glade, then return to Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak to turn in the quest. She should now offer the quest  [11] Teldrassil.
• In the river to the east are the timberlings needed for  [9] Tumors. Range up and down the river, looking for the rare mob Blackmoss the Fetid. If you find him, he will drop an item which starts the quest  [12] The Moss-twined Heart.
• On either side of the farthest north point of the river roams Lady Sathrah, the objective of  [12] Tears of the Moon. Defeat her and take her spinnerets.
• West of this point (directly north of the Oracle Tree), rogues can find Sethir the Ancient for their quest [10] Destiny Calls. Don't attack him: though you can get the item in this way, he spawns several minions which make him incredibly difficult to defeat for this level. Instead, pickpocket the journal from him to complete the quest.
• Head back south, picking up any more tumors you need from the timberlings in the river. When you have completed everything, return to Darnassus.
• In Darnassus, turn in the following:
  •  [9] Tumors
  •  [11] Teldrassil
  •  [12] Tears of the Moon
  • [10] Destiny Calls
• Make sure to pick up  [9] Return to Denalan before you leave for Dolanaar.

Back to the lake

Quest name	Quest giver	Subzone
[9] Return to Denalan	Rellian Greenspyre	Darnassus
[9G] Oakenscowl (Group)	Denalan	Lake Al'Ameth
[10] The Sprouted Fronds	Sprouted Frond	Lake Al'Ameth
[12] Planting the Heart	Denalan	Lake Al'Ameth
[11] Crown of the Earth (6)	Corithras Moonrage	Dolanaar

• Head back to Dolanaar and turn in  [11] Crown of the Earth (5) to Corithras Moonrage, and pick up the final quest in the series,  [11] Crown of the Earth (6).
• Go down to the lake and talk to Denalan. You should have quite a few quests to turn in, but be sure to turn them in one at a time: each time you turn one in, Denalan will plant something in his planter and a mob will spawn.
  •  [9] Return to Denalan
  •  [10] The Glowing Fruit
  •  [10] The Shimmering Frond
    •  [10] The Sprouted Fronds
  •  [12] The Moss-twined Heart (if you found Blackmoss the Fetid)
    •  [12] Planting the Heart
• After all this Denalan should offer you  [9G] Oakenscowl. This is a group quest to kill a named timberling in a cave just south of the lake. Grab a friend and head down there, defeat the creature, and return to Denalan.
• All that is left to do is return to Darnassus to turn in  [11] Crown of the Earth (6) to Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm, who sits atop the main building in the Cenarion Enclave.

Where to go from here

The next step for most night elves is to head to Darkshore. See the Darkshore questing guide for details on preparation and questing in that area.

Other zone options for this level include Redridge Mountains, Loch Modan, and Bloodmyst Isle.
