📜 Guide
- Get a dungeon group going for Maraudon, or The Temple of Atal'Hakkar (Sunken Temple).
- If it's Alterac Valley weekend, try the 40v40 PvP battlegrounds Alterac Valley. The quests for this battleground unlock at level 51 and are found outside of the entrance in Alterac Mountains, just north of Tarren Mill. One of the best quests however is found inside of the battleground itself. At Frostwolf Keep, Speak with Voggah Deathgrip. After you win a game he will give you Battle For Alterac which when completed will immediately give Hero of the Frostwolf and reward you with a nice blue (rare) weapon that is meant for a level 60.
- Do all of the Blasted Lands quests: A Boar's Vitality, Vulture's Vigor, Rage of Ages, etc. These will send you around the area killing various enemies and rewarding you with rather special food buffs that last 60 minutes and are used by end-game raiders.
- Alternatively, keep questing in Azshara. Grab Betrayed from Orgrimmar before flying out. Grab Kim'Jael Indeed! from the goblin in the northern part of the zone, north of the Blood Elf camp where both quests will send you. Kill the Blood Elf Surveyors and Reclaimers there for a nice runecloth farm. After you are done, try the Legashi Satyr camp to the north for a nice Felcloth farm.
- Continue questing in Un'Goro Crater. Work on the higher level quests: Beware of Pterrordax, Finding the Source, Volcanic Activity, and Lost!.
- Quest in Felwood, detailed at level 53.
