Horde Leveling Guide

Hi, good . As you probably well know, your enjoyment of World of Warcraft increases as your character level increases. This is true whether you are a member of the Horde or of the Alliance. Here you will find a horde leveling guide that will provide some areas and quests that suit Horde-related classes.

Before we go any further, it is worth mentioning that things proceed slowly when beginning your game of WoW. It has been said that anything worth doing takes time. With this in mind, be sure to complete your starting area first. There is no need to take off willy-nilly into strange lands and take on creatures and opposing players that are higher in level.

Sure, you receive a greater number of points when defeating these characters, but you will lose more often than not and your frustration level will cloud any increase in power level. Believe me, take it from me, take it easy and one step at a time, beginning with your starting area.

You may have read a Horde leveling guide that mentions grinding. This one does not. Though effective over an extended period of time, grinding out victories over something like harpies for levels at a time makes a mortal human want to pull their hair out.

Levels 1-10 can be accomplished in your starting area. Blizzard’s game designers didn’t want players to quit on them, so they ensured that the early levels could be somewhat easily accomplished.

Levels 10-20 can also be reached with similar strategies, but for those who own Burning Crusade, Ghostlands is an appealing leveling area. In Ghostlands, there is an available quest chain that begins with The Farstrider Enclave and finishes with The Traitor’s Destruction. This chain yields a Rare (falling between Uncommon and Epic) quality weapon such as:

Dawnblade

Farstrider’s Longbow

Sin’dorei Warblade

Staff of the Sun

Many a Horde leveling guide will mention the Hillsbrad Foothills as a good area to get from Level 20-30, probably because it is rather obvious. Tarren Mill offers some fine quests and you will often fight in Hillsbrad Fields and Azureload Mine due to creatures such as bears and lions. Be careful on the PvP servers unless you like to dish out and receive damage.

Leveling from 30-40 is partially accomplished by finishing quests acquired from Tarren Mill in the Alterac Mountains. Dalaran and Ruins of Alterac are two areas you will find helpful. These quests will enable you to reach Level 35. To get from 35-40, it might be wise to travel to Shimmering Flats in the Thousand Needles area. It’s a good place to grind (no further will be said) and to pick up Rocket Car Parts.

It should be noted in this Horde leveling guide that questing in Thousand Needles will lead you to the completion of two quests in Badlands leading you to Level 50. Badlands also contain beneficial questing creatures including elementals that are effective for study and reagent.

Buzzards are good for reagents and cooking, and Coyotes for cooking and thieves. These factors make Badlands a great area for several levels. Tanaris is an area that contains quests appropriate for making it to Level 55.

Finally, Silithus is a relatively easy area to level from 50-60. The mobs not difficult and there are numerous quests. It is, however PvP, so move to Burning Steppes if you’re not in a combative mood.

Of course, there are many more areas and methods by which to level up not covered in this Horde leveling guide, but it should give you an idea of the path to take.

I hope you found this Horde Leveling Guide of help.
