Starting out as a Draenai, you will find the beginning level places you at the crash site of Ammon Vale. You will first notice various creatures fluttering around. You will need to grind on them through your first three levels for many of your points.

If you head south from your starting point you will find the Draenai Megalon at the crash site. The fastest way to level in the game is by questing, and the early quests (You Survived!) make you go from one location to another to explore. They then shift to grind quests killing low level creatures. Draenai Proenitus will give you your first grinding quest (Replenishing the Healing Crystals), killing nearby vale moths and collecting moth blood.

By now you should reach level 2, and you will get additional points by delivering blood vials (Urgent Delivery) to draenai Zalduun inside the crash site. Zalduun himself will give you another quest (Rescue the Survivors) in which you are to go and heal one of the many Draenai survivors laying around the crash site. Heal with your base level talent “Gift of the Naruu.” You should be killing moths at the same time for points. Finish to this point and you win a 4-slot bag which is critical for being able to carry more.

You will find right outside the site Technician Zhanaa. She has the mechanic’s (Spare Parts) quest. 4 emitter parts you are to find are in the Nestlewood Hills to the south. You go through a tunnel to the Owlkin camp. With previous quests and killing Owlkins you should reach level 3 now.

Draenai Vindicator Aldur next to Zhanaa also gets you the Inoculation quest. You will find normal Owlkins among the mutated Owlkins. You use Aldur’s crystal to inoculate them. Doing both quests gets the emitter parts and the inoculation done simultaneously.

Aldur quests you to next find a scout (The Missing Scout). Pick it up but ignore it for now. Stop by Proenitus again and pick up a new quest (Botanist Taerix). Your job is to find Botanist Taerix. She is just a bit south of Proenitus. She has you kill 8 volatile mutations (Volatile Mutations). Taerix then has you kill mutated lasher samples (What Must Be Done). Go south. Between the lashers and the quest you should reach Level 4 by now. Also next to Taerix is her apprentice with a quest for more samples, allowing a double quest in the same area.

Taerix has a third quest for you. Go out to Silverline Lake and spread a neutralizing chemical (Healing the Lake). This is quest is very easy and quick. Notice the big crystal in the water. Use the agent on it and return to Taerix.

Remember (The Missing Scout) quest? You can now find him. Go far south near the mountain range. He’s missing because he got attacked by blood elves. As Tulaan is dying, he needs you to kill blood elves (The Blood Elves). Do so, but you will find Tulaan is not quite dead. He then tells has you kill the elf leader at the top of the ridge. When done, return to Vindicator Aldur back at the crash site (Blood Elf Spy).

Note, while you were fighting, the elf leader will drop the Blood Elf Plans (Blood Elf Plan) as loot. You read the map and give it to Aldur as well on your return.

Aldur notes the emitter is working (The Emitter). Zhanaa’s working on the emitter gives you your first quest out of the valley to Azure Watch (Travel to Azure Watch). Now you’re at Level 5.

Going west to Azurmyst Isle you find Aeun with a new quest (Word from Azure Watch). Aeun is injured and wants you to deliver a message to Caregiver Chellan further down the path in Azure Watch.

On the other river side you find Diktyanna (Red Snapper – Very Tasty). Catch 10 schools of red snapper in the river. But watch out for murlocs. She then has you deliver a fish crate to Acteon in Azure Watch. Finding caregiver Chelan (Word from Azure Watch) leads you to the first inn. You should be a Level 6 by now.

You find Technician Dyvuun (Travel to Azure Watch) and Acteon (Find Acteon). Acteon is to the left as you enter Azure Watch. Dyvuun is on the opposite side.

Nearby an Escape Pod Wreckage and Moongraze Woods give you more points.

Acteon quests you (The Great Moongraze Hunt) to kill 6 Moongraze stags. This is a nice grind area with a number of high-paying monsters for your level.

Reaching Level 7, Acteon quests you to hunt Moongraze bucks (The Great Moongraze Hunt 2). But Timberstriders are mixed in, causing problems.

In Azure Watch you find Anchorite Fateema (talk to her for first aid training, a free skill for bandages). She asks you to go get Root Trapper vines (Medicinal Purpose). You must kill 8 Trappers.

Next to her is Daedal. Daedal will then send you to find 5 azure snapdragon bulbs weeds (An Alternative Alternative). They are at the base of pine trees.

You can then head east and find Exodar. Inside you find Thelaana who quests you to find Field Marshal Snowfall at Ironforge (The Alliance Needs Your Help). Gain this quest and file it. Eventually you will arrive at Ironforge as you get better. Keep going east and you find Bristlelimb Village and Wrathscale Point both giving points to now reach Level 8.

Kill nightstalker cats to loot an Exodar crystal for a new quest. Return with it to Exarch Menelous (Strange Findings). He then quests you to kill 8 nightstalker runt cats (Nightstalker Cleanup, Isle 2).

At Azure Watch Daedel tells you to head south and find the Ereder (night elves) (The Prophecy of Velen). Gain this quest and hold on to it.

In the middle of Azure Watch find Cryptographer Aurren who teaches you to read totems (Learning the Language). You are to use a primer and figure out the language. A Stillpine bear ancestor appears when you accept the next quest (Totem of Coo). Follow him. The next totem quest appears (Totem of Tikti) and it is across the river. The third totem quest appears (Totem of Yor) being at the south end of the river and you have to go underwater.

Next, begin the Totem of Vark in Bristlelimb Village (Totem of Vark), freeing the white bears (Stillpine) from evil furlborg bears. They drop keys when killed. Return to Arugoo of the Stillpine to gain a large reward.

To the south of Azure Watch is Odyseus’ Landing. Here you complete the search for the Ereder by going to Admiral Odyseus (The Prophecy of Valen). By now your experience score should be at Level 9.

The Admiral quests you to search for nautical equipment (A Small Start). There is a goblin camp to the east with the parts. Next to the Admiral is reformed pirate Cookie. He wants 5 skittering crawlers (Cookie’s Jumbo Gumbo). Some grinding is involved here.

Arugoo the Stillpine bear in Azure Watch sends you north (Stillpine Hold). At Stillpine Hold you meet Moordo to kill 8 ravagers (Beasts of the Apocalypse). Go a little more north and find Fairbridge Strand for more points. Finish killing the ravagers and return to Moordo.

Standing near Arugoo at Azure Watch, Delvi quests you to find Cowlen (The Missing Fisherman), off the southwest coast of the island. Going west, you will reach the Silvermyst Isle and on the south side find Cowlen at the end of pier. He will be sobbing about his family being killed by enraged Owlkin. And at this point with nearby Owlkin to kill you should reach Level 10.
