📜 Guide
- Get a dungeon group going for Blackrock Depths, inside Blackrock Mountain. Blackrock Depths is the largest dungeon in the game. For now focus on arena runs or the lower-level areas of the dungeon. Otherwise come back at level 55 for the Molten Core attunement quest and defeating the final boss.
- Finish up questing in the following zones that end at level 55: Azshara, Blasted Lands, Un'Goro Crater, and Felwood.
- Finish up questing in Felwood. Complete Cleansing Felwood to unlock the Songflower Serenade World Buff by gathering salves with the Cenarion Beacon and then cleansing a Corrupted Songflower. Discover Winterspring if you haven't.
- Start to quest in Winterspring. The Winterfall furbolgs from Threat of Winterfall are great to farm as they drop Winterfall Firewater, a consumable that increases melee attack power by 35 and size for 20 minutes. It's used heavily by melee in raids and can be sold for a good amount of gold on the Auction House. They have an 8% chance to drop from Winterfall Pathfinders and Winterfall Den Watchers, 9% from Winterfall Totemics.
- Other than that, Winterspring is a higher level zone, so just go east and grab the flightpath from the neutral goblin town of Everlook. Grab the quest The Everlook Report, which will send you to the Western Plaguelands.
- Head to the Western Plaguelands to level. Go east of the Undercity along the road to reach The Bulwark. Hand in The Everlook Report. Grab Argent Dawn Commission and your Argent Dawn Commission trinket, which, when equipped, allows for the acquisition of Scourgestones when killing Undead. Grab Scarlet Diversions and don't forget to grab the Flame in a Bottle from the box nearby.
- Head east to the Scarlet camp and start clearing out Scarlet enemies near the tent. When the coast is clear, burn the tent and plant the Scourge Banner down.
- Farther east is Dalson's Tears. Go behind the houses and kill the various undead out there. Be on the lookout for a Wandering Skeleton who drops Dalson Outhouse Key, and Farmer Dalson who drops Dalson Cabinet Key. Head into the house to open the cabinet and complete Locked Away.
- Finish up questing in Un'Goro Crater. Even start to explore west of the zone to discover Silithus, but I recommend waiting until level 55.
- Discover the Burning Steppes, south of Blackrock Mountain.

💡 Tips
- Purchase Level 54 skills
- Complete Cleansing Felwood to unlock the Songflower Serenade World Buff by gathering salves with the Cenarion Beacon and cleansing a Corrupted Songflower
- Farm Winterfall furbolgs in Winterspring for Winterfall Firewater
- A common strategy is to save Argent Dawn Scourgestones until after you are revered with the Argent Dawn faction and then hand them in bulk, since you stop getting reputation from killing undead after revered
