Alliance Leveling Guide 46-50


Level 46

1. Go to Ironforge (Fly to Theramore, take the boat to Menethil Harbor and then fly to Ironforge)

In Ironforge: Visit your class trainer, sell, repair, check auction house.

Optional: If you did Uldaman and [47] The Platinum Discs quest, then go to the Hall of Explorers, talk to High Explorer Magellas, get the quest [50] Portents of Uldum, then talk to Historian Karnik further inside the Hall of Explorers and get the follow up [50] Seeing what Happens.

Fly to Southshore, then go northeast to the Hinterlands (84,32). In Hinterlands go northeast to Aerie Peak (14,47).

Get the quests:

[45] Troll Necklace Bounty
[48] Skulk Rock Clean-up
Turn in [43] To the Hinterlands at Falstad Wildhammer and get the follow up:
[43] Gryphon Master Talonaxe
On your way up to the top get the flight path for Aerie Peak.

Talk to Gryphon Master Talonaxe and get the follow up:
[43] Rhapsody Shindigger. Also get [45] Witherbark Cages from him.
Then make Aerie Peak your home location. (the innkeeper can be hard to find, he wanders about on the top floor inside the inn)

** Reminder: If you find a distress beacon on mobs in Hinterlands, right click it and get the quest**

Circuit:

2. Head out directly east of Aerie Peak, follow a small path while staying close to the mountain to your left. You will find Shindigger’s camp (26,48).

Talk to Rhapsody and get the follow up [43] Rhapsody’s Kalimdor Kocktail

**While in the Hinterlands look for Wilkdkin Feathers, they are big white/brown feathers you can find on the ground throughout Hinterlands. They don’t drop off the Owlbeasts. I found most of them in between Aerie Peak and Quel’Danil Lodge. Start gathering them from now on while doing the quest circuit**

3. Go south to the troll ruins of Zun’watha (23,58), clear the camp and check the first and second Witherbark cages.

Then go east to the troll ruins of Hiri’watha (32,57). Clear some space inside and check the “Third Witherbark Cage”

Kill trolls until you get 5 Troll Tribal Necklaces.

4. Go northeast to Agol’Watha (46,40) and kill 10 Green Sludges.

Go east to Skulk Rock (56,44) and kill 10 Jade Ooze. Beware of the wolf stalkers there though, they are stealthed, so be prepared for unexpected adds.

5. Optional: If you got the Distress Beacon OOX-22/HL, go to the lake northwest of Skulk Rock and find the Homing robot there (49,37). Turn in the quest. Before you accept the rescue quest, here is what you must know:
1. This quest, unlike the Feralas one, is more likely to be done solo. It’s still not a walk in the part of course. So if you got a partner to duo it, all the better for you.
2. Let the chicken run in front of you, let it get the first hit. If it’s not getting hit, it won’t fight back. Sometimes mobs are actually chasing the chicken and failing to get a hit on it, so they give up.
3. You’ll have to face 2 ambushes of 3 mobs each, make sure you are full health/mana and with long cooldown abilities up when you start the escort. When the 3 ambushers attack, stand back until the chicken gets hit. Then let the chicken tank one of the 3 adds, deal with the 2 others as quick as you can, then help the chicken finish off the 3rd add.

If you don’t have the beacon, you can come back later when you get one. But of course now is the most efficient time to do it, cause it’s on your quest path Smiling

6. Go southeast, to the Overlook Cliffs (70,63) and follow the path down to the shore. Search your bags for the Super Snapper FX and make a hotkey out of it. Then ride along the shore and search for a named turtle named Gammerita. She is easy to discern from the rest because she’s the only aggressive turtle (red name — turn NPC names on in your interface options, advanced options tab). She roams a lot, so you’ll find her anywhere between the waterfall (82,47) and Revantusk Village (77,77).

You don’t need to kill her, just get close enough and use the Super Snapper FX on her, she will not like it and will attack you, just run away. You should now normally have a Snapshot of Gammerita in your inventory.

7. Hearthstone back to Aerie Peak.

Turn in the quests:

[45] Troll Necklace Bounty
[48] Skulk Rock Clean-up

Optional: You can turn in more Troll Necklaces at the same NPC if you have extra stacks of 5. You gain 390 XP and extra faction with these dwarves each time.

Go to the top floor of Aerie Peak to Gryphon Master Talonaxe and get the follow up:

[48] The Altar of Zul

End of circuit:

Sell, repair, buy up to 3 stacks food/drink.

8. Go to the Altar of Zul (49,64) and kill trolls / wolves there.

Now the best would be that you shout in the “Looking for group” channel the following: “Looking for more to do [48] The Altar of Zul and get the Sacred Mallet”

During peak times there’s almost always people interested in doing that.
Anyway, if you don’t find people willing to do this immediately, just keep on killing trolls / wolves in this area (or the lower level ones to the west) until you get a group going. Also use the oportunity to finish the Wildkin Feather gathering. (You need 15 feathers)

You and two level 50s should be just enough to kill the 2 NPCs on top of the Altar of Zul. More will make it easier of course. I even managed to do it with just me (lvl 47 rogue) and a level 48 priest. But it was really close.

On top of the temple of Zul you’ll find 2 level 50 elites. Qiaga and Morta’gya.

With me playing my mage I managed to kill them with a level 51 Hunter and a 50 Priest, I sheeped Morta and we killed Qiaga first. It went quite smooth.

Loot the “Sacred Mallet” from Qiaga. Then walk on top of the altar in the middle of it and you’ll get a quest update for [48] The Altar of Zul.

**Note: If you don’t find a group to kill the 2 elites, nevermind. You can still run up to the top of the altar, complete [48] The Altar of Zul and run away. The Mallet is really optional**

Say goodbye to your group and grind on trolls (you choose which camp) until you are one bubble away from level 47.

Optional: While grinding you can also go to Shadra’Alor and get the quest [53] Jammalan the Prophet from the Atalai’ Exile (32,74). That’s if you plan to do the Sunken Temple instance later on (I recommend it)

9. Then go back to the top of Aerie Peak and speak with Gryphon Master Talonaxe. Turn in the quest and get the follow up:

[47] Thadius Grimshade

Don’t forget to turn in the Troll Necklaces for extra exp at Fraggar Thundermantle (in the inn). Important: Keep Aerie Peak as your home location until further notice.

10. Fly to Ironforge. Sell, repair, check AH. you really have to buy the 2 Elixirs of Fortitude if you didn’t already (See shopping list). Fly to Menethil Harbor, take the boat to Auberdine, fly to Rut’Theran village.

In Rut’theran Village turn in the quest [47] Favored of Elune? at Erelas Ambersky (55,92).

In the same house on the 1st floor turn in [48] The Super Snapper FX (Elite). Get the follow up [48] Return to Troyas.

You should also be level 47 now. Congratulations.

Level 47

1. Fly back to Auberdine then fly to Feathermoon Stronghold.

Buy up to 4 stacks of food/drink then talk to Troyas Moonbreeze and get the follow up [50] The Stave of Equinex. Get [51] The Sunken Temple from Angelas Moonbreeze, standing next to Troyas.

Circuit:

Cross the sea east to the peer in Feralas and get the two quests from the goblin named Zorbin Fandazzle (44,43)

[48] Zapped Giants
[48] Fuel for the Zapping

Look inside your bags for Zorbin’s Ultra-Shrinker and put it on a hotkey.

2. Then go south along the shore and start killing water elementals. Look for giants as well, they are elite but if you use the Zorbin’s Zapper on them they become totally managable. Keep killing elementals and giants until you got 15 Miniaturization Residue and 10 Water Elemental Core.

Once finished, go turn in your quest at Zorbin Fandazzle.

Optional: You can take the 2 follow ups (which appear lvl 55 but are still about the same mobs) if you feel like it and redo the quests several times, it’s not so bad for grinding as you get an extra 550XP, 21 Silver and faction increase with all Steamwheedle Cartel factions per quest turn in, but on the other hand those elementals are kinda hard to kill with certain classes, so I’ll let you be the judge here. (I redid both quests only once, then it was getting too boring Sticking out tongue)

Note: For engineers it’s worth it, because after completing the quests, Zorbin opens his store and you can buy Schematic: Snake Burst Firework.

3. Get back on the main road and ride north/northeast towards the yeti cave (51,32). On the way there also kill every Ironfur Bear and Groddoc Thunderer you find. You need 3 livers of each for [43] Rhapsody’s Kalimdor Kocktail. Kill Rage Scar Yetis until you get 10 Rage Scar Yeti Hide and a Pristine Yeti Hide (rare drop). When you get the Pristine hide, right click it and get the quest.

Note: Miners / Skinners you might want to grind here a little, this is a good spot.

4. Get out of the yeti cave and go north until you can get back on the main road, then northwest until you find a stone giant named Rockbiter. Get the quest [49] The Giant Guardian from him.

Then go directly north to the Ruins of Ravenwind. We’re now gonna do the quest [50] The Stave of Equinex.
There are level 48-50 Harpies everywhere in those ruins, the lvl 50s will be a bit harder but manageable. Plus, they drop Vibrant Plumes for Darkmoon Faire tickets. Be careful with runners, overall, be very careful in that area, take your time to pull one by one, don’t be reckless or you will die (I did! Sticking out tongue )

5. First go west to (38,15), next to a thick square tower you’ll find a dark gazebo, inside of it is the first flame, right click it. Loot the Byltan Essence.

Go northeast to (40,12) to some big ruined arch, the 2nd flame is on the top of it in the middle. To get there you have to get behind the building and jump from stones to stones until you can reach the flame of Samha. Right click it and loot the Samha Essence.

Then go back and jump down the building, directly northeast of it and on slightly higher ground among ruins you will find the flame of Imbel. (39,9) Loot the Imbel Essence.

Then go southwest (ignore Shay Leafrunner for now if you see her) until (37,11). The Flame of Lahassa is under a dark brown gazebo. Loot the Lahassa Essence.

6. Now that you have all 4 essences, go southeast to the Equinex Monolith (38,13).

Clear some space around it, then go to it, search your bags for Troyas’s Stave. Right click it to charge the stave, then right click the monolith, complete the quest, get the follow up [50] The Morrow Stone.

7. Get out of the Monolith area and then clear yourself a path northwest to Shay Leafrunner.

Before you take the quest, here is the trick :

After taking the quest you must loot the bell from the chest next to Shay. Make a hotkey of that bell. Now here is the problem with Shay, she wanders off every now and then, she always says something like “oh what a beautiful flower” and goes away. When she does that you are supposed to ring the bell and she will run back to you. The problem is that the bell has a rather long cooldown so she ends up wandering off too often.
The trick is that as soon as you ring the bell, she will run to you, so you should start running southeast / south towards Rockbiter (42,21) and she will keep running after you until she catches up. When she catches up she will say something like ‘I wandered off again, sorry”. But the cooldown on the bell will be reset already.

In short: When she wanders off, ring the bell and run away, don’t let her catch up to you. Even if you get aggroed by mobs keep running. Only stop if Shay herself gets attacked, then you will have to defend her. You can run and look behind you by holding your mouse’s left click and moving the mouse, to make sure she’s still running after you.

Once at the giant, turn in the quest. Then go southeast and back on the road, follow the road south and then east until (54,41).

8. Now you can go south back into the Yeti Cave and try to escort the Homing Robot again if you didn’t before. It’s still really hard solo, but at level 47 I managed to do it (was extremely close with the mage though). I recommend finding someone willing to duo it with you. Anyway, one advice, just ALWAYS let the chicken get hit first before you do anything.
If you don’t manage to solo this quest or can’t find a person to duo it just abandon it. It’s really optional, but do try hard though. Sticking out tongue

9. Then get back on the road, keep going east and past the bridge until (65,49). When there, go down and northeast towards the grimtotem camp. Go talk to Kindal Moonweaver (those two elven chicks we already helped back then with the sprite darters).

Get the quest [47] An Orphan Looking for a Home.
Then ride back to Feathermoon Stronghold.

Turn in :

[48] Improved Quality and
[48] Pristine Yeti Hide at Pratt McGrubben
[50] The Morrow Stone at Troyas Moonbreeze

End of circuit:

I went linkdead right in the middle of the Ruins of Ravenwind, so no XP rate screenshot. But from what I checked before going linkdead and after. This session lasted about 2H45min. The exp rate was around 30000 XP/ Hour for a total of ~80000 XP gained.

Sell/repair/refill up to 3 stacks food/drink.

10. Fly to Thalanaar and then to Gadgetzan.

In Gadgetzan get:
1. [46] Gadgetzan Water Survey from Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser (he’s on a mound of earth behind the houses on the west side of Gadgetzan)
2. [49] The Thirsty Goblin from Maren Noggenfogger
3. [49] The Dunemaul Compound from Andi Lynn (behind the Inn)
4. [50] Thistleshrub Valley from Tran’Rek

Circuit:

11. Get out of Gadgetzan and go south until you find the skeletal remains of some huge animal (50,35). Kill all the Fire Rocs you find there. You got another of those huge skeletal remains to the southwest. Cycle between those 2 spots until you get the 3 Roc Gizzards you need for [43] Rhapsody’s Kalimdor Kocktail.

12. Go northwest to the pool of water by the Sandsorrow watch (38,29). Stand by the western tip of the pool and get full health/mana. Search your bag for a black vial named “Untapped Dowsing Widget” and right click it. Two level 48 insects will pop and attack you, kill them or run away from them. It doesn’t matter.

13. Go east back to Gadgetzan. Talk to Senior Survery Fizzledowser and get the follow up [47] Noxious Lair Investigation.

Go south to the area named “Broken Pillar” (52,45) and talk to Marvon Rivetseeker. Turn in [51] The Sunken Temple and get the follow up [51] The Stone Circle. Also get [48] Gahz’ridian.

14. Go west / southwest to the Dunemaul Compound and clear a path to the cave there (40,56). In that cave you’ll find Gor’marok the Ravager, kill him. (lvl 49 - soloable at lvl 47 without a problem)

Go southeast to the Eastmoon Ruins (48,64) (yes, even if you didn’t finish [49] The Dunemaul Compound yet.) Start killing ogres there and look on the floor for Gahz’Ridian pieces. They look like white upside down plates. Kill ogres in that camp until you got 30 Gahz’Ridian Ornament and hit level 48. If it’s too crowded, there is another camp similar to this one further to the southwest named “Southmoon Ruin” (41,72). When you hit 48 and got 30 Gahz’Ridian ornament you should also be done with [49] The Dunemaul Compound. If not, kill some more ogres Sticking out tongue

Level 48

1. Optional: If you went to Uldaman and did the quest [47] The Platinum Discs, go southwest to Uldum (38,79). The Dune Smashers have a small aggro range, you can hug the left wall and reach the Stone Watcher of Norgannon, just be careful of the one roamer. The Stone Watcher of Norgannon is at (37,81). Click the Uldum Pedestal under him and get the follow up, then talk to the Stone Watcher of Norgannon who just appeared on the pedestal. Go through his dialogue and you will complete the follow up. Then click the Uldum pedestal again, complete the quest and get the follow up [50] Return to Ironforge. Now wasn’t that the easiest 9400xp ever?

2. Go west (northwest if you went to Uldum) to Thistleshrub Valley (28,67). Kill Gnarled Thistleshrubs and Thistleshrub Rootshapers until you get 8 kills of each. Also kill Thistleshrub Dew Collectors until a Laden Dew Gland drops (rare drop).

3. Go north to the Noxious Lair (31,51). Kill Centipaars there, Stingers, Wasps, Tunnelers.. until you get 5 Centipaar Insect Parts. Then go back to Gadgetzan.

4. In Gadgetzan turn in:
1. [49] The Thirsty Goblin at Marin Noggenfogger. Get the follow up [49] In Good Taste.
2. [49] The Dunemaul Compound at Andi Lynn
3. [50] Thistleshrub Valley at Trank’Rek
4. [49] In Good Taste at Sprinkle, get the follow up [49] Sprinkle’s Secret Ingredient.
5. [47] Noxious Lair Investigation at Alchemist Pestlezugg

Get the quest:

[48] The Scrimshank Redemption from Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser.

End of circuit:

Sell/repair/restock food-drink (3 stacks).

5. Go south to the Broken Pillar and talk to Marvon Rivetseeker, turn in [48] Gahz’ridian.

Go further south to the Gaping Chasm (56,61), clear yourself a path through the insects southwards until you find the entrance spiralling down at (55,70). Take the 2nd tunnel you see when going down the spiral, the one going north (55,69). Inside the tunnel at the first fork go right. Then go through the circular room. After the circular room at the first fork go right. You will enter a big square room. The Scrimshank’s Surveying Gear (55,71) is at the western corner of the square room.

Loot it and then go back the way you came from, and then go north until you are out of the Gaping Chasm.

6. If you don’t have the Distress Beacon, go back to Gadgetzan.

If you do have the Distress Beacon for Tanaris:

Go east and inside the mountain at (60,64). You will find the Homing Robot OOX-17/TN there. Turn in the quest. Get full health/mana, refresh buffs. Check if your long cooldown abilities are up. For some classes this will be hard to solo, so if you don’t manage it better find someone to duo it with. If you don’t manage that, just abandon the escort quest, it’s optional anyway.

Things to know about this escort quest:

1. Let the chicken in front, let him get hit first. Sometimes mobs will aggro him but not manage to hit him while he walks and they will just give up.
2. The first part of the escort is the hardest as you will run into lvl 46-47 mobs. And at some point you will get an ambush of 3 level 46 scorpions. Use your long cooldown abilities there. After this, it gets easier.
3. Later on you will get a 2nd ambush, 3 humanoids lvl 42 (green). One will be a shadow mage though, kill it first.

7. Ride back to Gadgetzan, talk to Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser and get the follow up [48] Insect Part Analysis.

Go talk to Alchemist Pestlezugg, get the follow up and get back to Surveyor Fizzledowser. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [49] Rise of the Slithid
.
Get your 2 Elixirs of Fortitude from the bank in Gadgetzan. Then ride north to the thousand needles.

8. Go to the Mirage Raceway and talk to Quentin (78,74). Turn in the quest [47] An Orphan Looking for a Home. Get the follow up, turn it in instantly (as you already have the 2 Elixirs of Fortitude).
Get the quest [47] The Newest Member of the Family and hearthstone to Aerie Peak. Go talk to Agnar Beastamer, he is inside the inn on the lower level. Turn in [47] The Newest Member of the Family.

Get the follow up [47] Food for Baby.

End of circuit.

9. Now don’t worry we are gonna hit Ironforge soon to visit the class trainer, but first, repair/sell, refill food/drink (3 Stacks).

Get out of Aerie Peak by the small path to the east and go to Rhapsody Shindigger. (26,48)

Turn in [43] Rhapsody’s Kalimdor Kocktail. Watch him get drunk and then get the quest [43] Rhapsody’s Tale.

Ride east towards the area in between Shaol’Watha and Jintha’Alor (65,50). At this spot and widely around it you should find Silvermane Stalkers. They are level 47-48 wolves and they are stealthed. Run circles in the area I described among the trees, hit tab while looking around. You should find them quickly, they drop the stuff you need 40% of the time. (Humans: use perception / Warlocks: Buff yourself with detect invisibility)

Kill everything on your way while you are at it, like those goofy looking Owlbeasts.

10. Once you got 5 Silvermane Stalker Flanks, ride west to Valorwind Lake at (40,60). Dive in and look for some white/red mushroom named Violet Tragan. Loot one. (Don’t right click it when its in your inventory!) Then go back to Aerie Peak, into the inn, back to Agnar Beastamer.

Turn in the quest [47] Food for Baby and get the follow up [48] Becoming a Parent. Turn it in, congratulations on your new pet. It’s useless but it’s cute Sticking out tongue (and wasn’t a waste of time XP wise)

11. Fly to Ironforge, visit your class trainer, sell, repair, auction.

If you went to Uldaman before and if you did the platinum discs quest:
Go to the Halls of Explorer, turn in [50] Return to Ironforge at Historian Karnik and get the follow up [50] A Future Task.
Also get [52] Passing the Burden from him.
Turn in [50] A Future Task at High Explorer Magellas. (yet another 4700 XP and 2 Gold 20 Silver.)
Note: This is why I really advise doing certain instances. They are not a waste of time at all if you do them the right way. Here we got 3 times 4700XP only because we did a quest in Uldaman back then.

12. Fly to Stormwind, go to the Dwarven District to Brohann Caskbelly (64,20) and get the follow up [50] Into The Temple of Atal’Hakkar (Dungeon).

Fly to Nethergarde Keep (Blasted Lands) talk to Thadius Grimshade and get the follow up [47] Nekrum’s Medallion (Dungeon).

Fly to Darkshire and then to Booty Bay.

In Booty Bay turn in the [45] Deliver to MacKinley at “Sea Wolf” MacKinley (close to the inn) and all the Rescue OOX-22 quests you completed at Oglethorpe Obnoticus (2nd house to the right of the forge), if you completed any, that is.

If you completed all 3 rescues you get and extra quest [50] An OOX of your own. You’ll get another of those useless pets and 7100 XP as well! Which is why going through the pain of doing those 3 escort quests is in the end worth it. (Sadly the Tanaris beacon never dropped for the character I used to record the XP Rates, so I didn’t get this bonus)

13. Go back to Ironforge. Now here is what I advise:

Get a group together and go to Zul’Farrak. Follow this Zul’Farrak Instance Guide.

It would be a waste not to go, you already have all the pre-quest work done, you just have to gather a few more quests in Tanaris (and one in Dustwallow Marsh).
Even if you don’t like instances, I really suggest you do an effort on this one, it will be a great XP boost and you also get follow up quests which will be another source of extra XP later. You don’t even have to do everything in Zul’Farrak. You can skip Antu’Sul and Witch Doctor Zum’Rah, which are arguably the hardest battles in there. You can also skip Gahz Ridian actually, but if you get someone in your group with the Mallet, you might as well go for it. Just make sure you do at least:
1. Kill Theka the Martyr (Get 1st Tablet)
2. The Temple script (Loot Nekrum’s Medaillon)
3. Kill Hydromanther Velratha (Loot 2nd Tablet)

It took me just 2 Hours with a crapy pick-up group for a huge XP boost.

If you really don’t want to go to Zul’Farrak:
You can abandon the quests related to it and go grind up to level 49. (Because those who go to Zul’Farrak will ding 49 from turning in the quests even if they don’t do all the quests, Gazh’Rilla and Troll Temper namely)
You can grind either in Feralas on Yetis or on Harpies (good for Darkmoon Faire Tickets). You can also grind on ogres in Tanaris if you prefer.

14. For those who go to Zul’Farrak, the optimal setup would be that one person of your group has the Mallet to summon Gahz’Rilla. If you can’t manage that it’s np, this is optional and you can always come back later when you have your own mallet, if you wish to.

In both cases, when you stop by Tanaris, talk to Sprinkle and get the follow up [49] Delivery for Marin. Go talk to Marin Noggenfogger and get the follow up [49] Noggenfogger Elixir and turn it in. The elixirs are more fun than useful but sometimes they give nifty effects like levitation or water breathing, which can be helpful situationaly. Plus now you can buy Elixirs from Marin at will Smiling

You can also bind in Gadgetzan or anywhere you please if it’s more convenient to you, for now.

Level 49

1. So you just turned in all the quests you finished in Zul’Farrak (besides the one in Blasted Lands, cause we are going there now) or grinded your way up to level 49. Those who did Zul’Farrak should have already 4 bubbles in level 49 or close to that.

Go to Ironforge and bind there (unless you are still bound in Hinterlands), Sell/repair/get 4 stacks food/drink.

Fly to Stormwind, go to the Mage District, then go on top of the Wizard’s Tower (37,81).

Get the quest [45] Vital Supplies from High Sorcerer Andromath.

2. Fly to Darkshire (Duskwood). In Darkshire go talk to Watchmaster Sorigal (he’s just down the path from the gryphon master), get the follow up [45] Supplies for Nethergarde.

Fly to Nethergarde Keep (Blasted Lands).

In Nethergarde:

Turn in [45] Supplies for Nethergarde at Quartermaster Lungertz.
Turn in [47] Nektrum’s Medaillon at Thadius Grimshade, he’sinside the big tower, on the highest floor. Get the follow up [47] The Divination. Turn it in, get the follow up [47] Return to the Hinterlands (Elite).

3. Ride out of Nethergarde Keep, go west / northwest until you find the two Blood Elves at (50,14). Get all their quests:

[50] A Boar’s Vitality
[50] Snickefang Jowls
[50] The Basilisk’s Bite
[50] The Decisive Striker
[50] Vulture’s Vigor

Start killing directly from here, you can find all the animals you need to kill for theses quests in the upper part of Blasted Lands. Avoid the area around the Dark Portal and the Tainted Scar. Avoid anything that is level 52 or above.

Kill pretty much everything on your way until you have all the quests completed. Beware of the big drake flying around named Teremus the Devourer. Besides this, just kill everything Sticking out tongue What you’ll need to kill the most though are vultures and basilisks, so here is a path you should follow, listing every possible Vulture spawn (there’s also a few vulture roamers but you’ll run into those too from time to time) so try to get all of them every cycle.

Completing all the quests will take a while, but here are a few tips:
1. Melees: As soon as possible try to finish the quest [50] The Decisive Striker and go turn it in, you’ll get a +25 AGI buff for 1 Hour. When that buff wears out, go turn in either Snickerfang Jowls (+25 STR buff) or A Boar’s Vitality (+25 STA buff) depending on your preferences.

2. Casters: As soon as possible try to finish the quest [50] A Boar’s Vitality and turn it in for a +25 STA buff. Later on after your sta buff wears off, try to finish [50] The Basilisk’s Bite for a +25 INT buff.

These buffs will help you killing faster, they do not stack, so wait for them to fade before you get the next one. Make good use of them Smiling

4. While killing mobs in Blasted Lands you might loot an Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment on one of them. Go to Kum’Isha the Collector (51,35). Get the quest [55] Everything Counts in Large Amounts and turn it in. No need to get the follow up quest unless you get another Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment.

If you are extremely lucky you’ll find a Flawless Draenetyst Sphere (I didn’t Sad ) In that case get the other quest from Kum’Isha and turn it in.

5. Turn in all the other blasted lands quest when they are done, don’t get the follow ups (they are repeatable if you want to get more of those nifty clickable buffs later on). Now you should be approximately 4 bubbles away from level 50 if you did this right.

6. Hearthstone to Ironforge (or to Hinterlands if you are still bound there).

Go to Aerie Peak in Hinterlands, talk to Gryphon Master Talonaxe. (he’s at the very top of Aerie Peak) Get the follow up [53] Saving Sharpbeak (Elite).

Now you got 3 reasons to go to the top of Jintha’Alor. The Mallet of Zul’Farrak being one of them, but most importantly:
1. [50] The Ancient Egg (Elite) and
2. [53] Saving Sharpbeak (Elite)

7. Build a group of level 50+ and go to Jintha’Alor (66,66). It’s doable with 3 level 50s but it will be long and very tedious at the end, I suggest you try to fill up the group.

Fight your way to the top of Jintha’Alor, then go to Vile Priestess Hexx (59,78). She has one guard, you can wait till the Priestess wanders in the cave and get her guard solo. Then get the Priestess solo, kill her and loot the Hexx’s key from her. Also don’t forget to forge the Mallet of Zul’Farrak, just click your Sacred Mallet while being next to the Altar. Go inside the cave behind where you fought the Vile Priestess. Follow this path to find the Ancient Egg:

You’ll find Hitah’ya the Keeper and 2 guards patrolling around the Ancient Egg. Kill Hitah’ya the Keeper first, should be a pushover for a group of 4 or 5. Get the Ancient Egg.

Once you have the Ancient Egg, clear the way out of the cave back to the Altar, from there go north towards the other cave at (56,68). Kill the two trolls guarding it’s entrance. Then go through the cave and on the other side of it you’ll find Sharpbeak in it’s cage. Free Sharpbeak and watch him fly away with his parents.

You are done, hearthstone back to Aerie Peak and turn in the quest [53] Saving Sharpbeak (Elite). Also turn in any stacks of 5 Troll Tribal Necklaces you might have gotten during your Jintha’ Alor trip.

Go turn the other quest in Tanaris at Steamwheedle port, and get the follow up quest [53] The God Hakkar (Dungeon)

8. Turning in the quests will make you ding level 50 or be very close, and you can go kill some trolls next to the Altar of Zul to finish your level, or some ogres in Tanaris.

For those who didn’t do Zul’Farrak: Time to grind!
