📜 Guide

  1. From Ratchet pick up the Wailing Caverns quests such as Trouble at the Docks and Smart Drinks.
  2. Go for Stolen Silver south of Ratchet towards the Southern Barrens. Afterwards head to Camp Taurajo. Get the quest Tribes at War and the flight path.
  3. From Camp Taurajo head west through Mulgore to discover Thunder Bluff, the capital city of the Tauren.
  4. Look for the Thunder Bluff weapon master (or ask a guard) to learn to use other weapon types: Two-Handed Maces, One-handed Maces, Staves, and Guns for 10 silver each.
  5. Discover the Thunder Bluff flight path and fly back to the Crossroads. Hand in Stolen Silver. Optionally grab Apothecary Zamah and fly back to Thunder Bluff to hand it in. Then, yep, fly back to the Crossroads.
  6. At this point either grind around until you reach level 18, try to get a Wailing Caverns group going, or head west of the Crossroads to discover Stonetalon Mountains. Start with Avenge My Village and Kill Grundig Darkcloud.
