for horde, races in parentheses are just because they are close to start zones, doesnt mean restricted to those races

1-10 durotar (orc/troll starting)
1-10 mulgore (tauren starting)
1-10 eversong woods (blood elf starting)
1-10 tirisfal glades (undead starting)

10-20 ghostlands (blood elf)
10-20 silverpine forest (undead)
10-25 the barrens (orc/troll/tauren)

20-25 stonetalon mountains
20-25 ashenvale

25-30 hillsbrad foothills/tarren mill
28-32 thousand needles

32-38 arathi highlands
32-38 alterac mountains
34-38 desolace
34-46 stranglethorn vale
36-40 dustwallow marsh

42-48 feralas
42-50 badlands/brd
42-50 tanaris/zf

50-55 hinterlands
50-55 searing gorge
50-55 un'goro crater
50-55 azshara
50-55 felwood

55-60 burning steppes
55-60 plaguelands
55-60 winterspring
55-60 silithus

outland zones

58-62 hellfire peninsula
62-65 zangarmarsh / terrokar forest
65-67 nagrand
67-68 blades edge mountains
68-70 netherstorm

only have to do about 2/3 of outland to go 58-70 due to exp nerf
lots of blades edge / netherstorm / shadowmoon valley quests will be left over

northrend zones

68-71 howling fjord
71-72 borean tundra
72-74 dragonblight
74-75 grizzly hills
75-76 zul'drak
76-78 sholazar basin
78-79 storm peaks
79-80 icecrown

levels 20-45 suck the worst

then its pretty smooth leveling, even though more quests per level, less transitioning from place to place over and over

<3

Yeah the thing I hate is flying between zones it really blows dongs

also rep grinding pisses me off from revered to exalted is really fucking long

everything from the barrens until feralas fucking blows, fyi

thats a terrible guide, im assuming a c/p job

1-10 level where your starting race zone is
10-20 ghostlands (best rewards, easiest exp, just do all the quests you should be around that level)
20-26 crossroads/southern barrens (whatever quests in crossroads are still yellow)
26-28 stonetalon mountains
28-30 hillsbrad
30-34 thousand needles (grinding in shimmering flats is a lot of exp)
34-36 arathi highlands
36-38 desolace
38-40 stranglethorn vale
40-42 dustwallow marsh
42-45 feralas
45-48 badlands
40-50 tanaris
50-53 hinterlands (you may get more levels because you basically pick up 20 quests go do them all and turn them all in at once, its good grinding)
53-55 un'goro crater
55-58 western plaguelands/eastern plaguelands

58-62 hellfire peninsula
62-64 zangarmarsh
64-66 terrokar forest
66-68 nagrand

68-72 howling fjord/borean tundra

etcetera


btw i made this up off the top of my head, dont get too technical about what you need to do just go to a place, find all the quests, and do them. the game is designed so that when you finish all the quests you will be ready for the next area. dont waste time going to useless places like ashenvale or winterspring/silithus or felwood

and stay out of stranglethorn as much as possible, since youre on a pvp server youre going to get ganked non stop

Map addon ftw
