Head Start in Arathi and Speed Trick (Wow)

Neither of these will give you much of an advantage, but they are advantages.

In Arathi, when it says 30 seconds until game begins, start running into the gate. Right when it says the game is beginning, there will be a short second where you stilll can't run past the gate, BUT, you can JUMP over it. On a normal mount this is about a 15 foot head start, on an epic more along a 30 foot.

Also, whenever you get a movement speed boost thats timed, when it reachs 0 seconds, waith .5 seconds and then jump. The buff will end mid flight but you will retain your speed until you hit the ground.

If you do this from a hill you could easily end up with another second or two of the speed buff.

Alliance Leveling Guide (Warcraft)

Part 1

Northshire Valley Human Starting Grounds
Started : Level 1
Completed : Level 5

I chose a Human for my race of choice; I much prefer the lush green starting area of Elwynn Forest to the snow filled Coldridge Valley. If you chose to play a Gnome

[1] A Threat Within
Obtained from: Deputy Willem, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Speak with Marshal McBride
Reward: 40 XP!

When you enter the world as a freshly created Human, your first quest will literally be starting you in the face. Deputy Willem will be directly in front of you, and after conversing, will direct you to Marshal McBride, whom you will find just inside the building.

[2] Kobold Camp Cleanup
Obtained from: Marshal McBride, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Kill 10 Kobold Vermin
Reward: 170 XP

[2] Wolves Across the Border
Obtained from: Eagan Peltskinner, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Collect 8 pieces of Tough Wolf Meat
Reward: Cloth Boots or Leather Bracers and 170 XP

Once you have seen Marshal McBride inside the Abbey, head out and turn to your right. Follow the Abbey wall around and you will come across Eagan Peltskinner, he would like you to kill some wolves.

From there, if you turn around 180 degrees, you can t miss the wolves. To the right of the wolves you will find the Kobolds, you want the Vermin, not the Workers.
Warlock Trainers!

If you re playing a Warlock, you will most likely want to find your trainers and collect your Imp quest. One of the things that differs between the Undead Warlocks and the Human ones, is Undead can pretty much get their Imp at level one Humans have it a little more difficult.

To find your trainers, stand facing the steps of the building near where you entered the world, follow it around to the east (or turn right and follow the wall). Run past the White Stallion and into the graveyard beside it, there you will see three people standing at the back.

The man on the far left is Meritt Herrion and he gives you the quest to obtain your Imp. The man on the far right is Dane Winslow and after you complete the quest and receive your imp (along with level 5) you can see him about training your beloved first pet up with some added bonuses, speak to him earlier than that and he kindly tells you to 'Buzz Off'. The woman in the middle however, is the one you re interested in at this time her name is Druzille La Selle and she is your trainer and can help you with new spells.

If you need help completing your Imp quest, please see the guide at The Warlocks Den here.

[3] Investigate Echo Ridge
Obtained from: Marshal McBride, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Kill 10 Kobold Workers
Reward: 250 XP

After you hand in Kobold Camp Cleanup, you need to head back out to the Kobolds and this time, kill the Workers. They occupy the camps scattered around, but if you are having trouble finding them, head closer to the Mine. Once you have killed your 10, return to Marshal McBride.

[4] Skirmish at Echo Ridge
Obtained from: Marshal McBride, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Kill 12 Kobold Laborers
Reward: Cloth Gloves, Leather Belt or Mail Boots and 450 XP

You will find the Kobold Laborers inside the Echo Ridge Mine. Again I notice a difference between Horde and Alliance the Laborers in this mine still con Yellow, all the way to the end. On the Horde side, the same type of cave would have red con aggressive mobs.

Because of this though, Humans have the ability to run all the way to the end to look for a chest! Awesome!

[4] Brotherhood of Thieves
Obtained from: Deputy Willem, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Collect 12 Red Burlap Bandanas
Reward: Choice of weapons and 360 XP

After you gain a couple of levels, Deputy Willem, the man you saw when you first entered the zone, will give you a quest to rip the bandanas from the Defias. If you head South-East from the Abbey, you will come across a small stream. There is a bridge that will keep you from getting wet, or you can run across the shallow water. On the other side, you will find your Defias.

[4] Milly Osworth
Obtained from: Deputy Willem, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Speak with Milly Osworth
Reward: 35 XP

After you hand in your bandanas and collect the weapon of your choosing, you are sent to speak with Milly Osworth (as well as requested to collect the head of Garrick Padfoot). If you follow the outer wall of the Abbey around to the other side, you will find Milly standing beside a cart.

[4] Milly's Harvest
Obtained from: Milly Osworth, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Gather 8 crates of Milly's Harvest
Reward: 180 XP (plus 360 for the second step)

You will find the crates of Milly s Harvest scattered around the Northshire Vinyard, where you were just killing Defias. You are looking for lootable barrels.




[4] Bounty on Garrick Padfoot
Obtained from: Deputy Willem, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Kill Garrick Padfoot and bring his head to Deputy Willem
Reward: Cloth Pants or Cloak, or a Leather Chest piece and 340 XP

Just west of the Vineyard you will find Garrick Padfoot and his not so friendly sidekick. They are found standing in front of what looks to be an out door toilet, or perhaps a very cozy hut. You will get both when you pull them, so be prepared, although they are very easy to kill.

Once you have collected Milly s Harvest and Garrick s Head, make your way back to the Abbey to hand in. After handing in Milly s Harvest, you are directed to Brother Neals, you will find him at the very top of the Abbey.

[5] Report to Goldshire
Obtained from: Marshal McBride, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Take Marshal McBride's Documents to Marshal Dughan in Goldshire
Reward: A Shield and 230 XP

[5] Rest and Relaxation
Obtained from: Falkhaan Isenstrider, Northshire Abbey
Objective: Speak with Innkeeper Farley at the Lion's Pride Inn
Reward: Food or Drink and 110 XP

You are now done with Northshire Valley, booyah! Make your way south through the passage way and follow the path all the way to Goldshire! Don t forget to grab the delivery quest on your way through

Part 2

Goldshire
Started: Level 5
Completed: Level 11

If you ve left the newbie area and followed the path, you can t miss Goldshire; the path leads right too it. Here you will find an Inn to rest at and bind yourself to, most class trainers and a couple of profession ones. You will also find quests!

[7] The Fargodeep Mine
Obtained from: Marshal Dughan, Goldshire
Objective: Explore the Fargodeep Mine
Reward: 480 XP

This quest will become available to you after you hand in Marshal McBride's Documents for the Report to Goldshire quest. Before you run off though, be sure to see Remy Two Times located at the end of the path you are on, and William Pestle who is located inside the Goldshire Inn

[7] Gold Dust Exchange
Obtained from : Remmy Two Times , Goldshire
Objective : Collect 10 Gold Dust
Rewards : Bag of Marbles and 625 XP

[7] Kobold Candles
Obtained from : William Pestle, Goldshire Inn
Objective : Collect 8 Large Candles
Rewards : 5 x Glowing Wax Sticks and 480 XP

All three of these quests are completed in the same mine, located straight North of Goldshire. Getting there is easy, face Remy Two Times and run directly North. You will go over a dirt patch, or if the fair is in town, weave your way through the caravans. You should now be relatively close to a small cliff face, although I m not sure it can be called a cliff, I can t see you needing rock climbing gear to get back up. Anyway, you should be able to see a large hill straight in front of you, that is the hill the mine delves into.

Before we go running into the mine though, let s head off to your right to The Stonefield Farm and collect a couple more quests.

[6] Lost Necklace
Obtained from : Auntie Bernice Stonefield, The Stonefield Farm, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Speak with Billy Maclure
Rewards : 140 XP

The reason for the slight detour is there is a quest line that will also involve entering the Fargodeep Mine, and you can complete it at the same time as the above three. To find Billy, face south-east (more east than south) and run to the farm located on the other side of the mine; The Maclure Vineyard.

[6] Pie for Billy
Obtained from : Billy Maclure, The Maclure Vineyard, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Collect 4 Chunks of Boar Meat
Rewards : 410 XP

You will find Billy standing outside the bard at The Maclure Vineyard and he will feign any knowledge of a missing necklace that is until you mention pie. To get him to talk, kill the boars roaming around both farms until you collect 4 pieces of meat and head back over to Auntie Bernice to convert it into a pie.

Note: These boars can sometimes be a pain in the posterior in dropping the meat!

[6] Young Lovers
Obtained from : Maybell Maclure, The Maclure Vineyard, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Deliver Maybell s love letter
Rewards : 140 XP

While you are at the farm, head into the small hut and see Maybell. Hold onto her letter until we go back to see Auntie Bernice as Tommy is not far. You can also pick up Princess Must Die! when you get back to Auntie Bernice (if you ve dinged level 6) as we can do that later.

Hand in the boar meat and collect your pie. Before heading back to Billy though, face west and run across the farm to the river, there you will find Tommy.

[6] Speak with Gramma
Obtained from : Tommy Joe Stonefield, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Speak with Gramma Stonefield
Rewards : 140 XP

After you have handed in the letter from Maybell Maclure, Tommy asks you to speak to Gramma back at the Stonefield farm, she will help. You will find Gramma Stonefield inside the small hut that Auntie Bernice stands out the front of.

[8] Goldtooth
Obtained from : Maclure, The Maclure Vineyard, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Retrieve Bernice s Necklace
Rewards : Crappy leather gloves and 875 XP

Goldtooth is the mob that you will find inside the Fargodeep Mine, so now we re ready to head in. There are two entrances into the mine and if you are standing on the slope that leads down, between to the two farms, you should be able to see both of them.

The easiest route (I find) is to take the one on the right, the higher entrance. So head up the slope, be aware there will be a couple of mobs just inside the entrance. Once inside, you want to turn right and follow the tunnel around. You will come into a large open room, and if you take the closest left, at the bend at the end you will find Goldtooth.

When pulled, Goldtooth will usually come with one friend, but if you put your DoT s (if playing a Warlock) on both, you should have little trouble. If playing during a populated time of the day, you may even find other people in there killing so can group up if you feel you need it.

The dust and candles drop off the random mobs and you might even have all collected by the time you clear in and out of the cave. Once you are done, head back out of the Mine and back to Goldshire, stopping past Auntie Bernice to return the necklace.

[10] A Fishy Peril
Obtained from : Remmy Two Times , Goldshire
Objective : Talk to Marshal Dughan
Rewards : 85 XP

[10] Further Concerns
Obtained from : Marshal Dughan, Goldshire
Objective : Talk to Guard Thomas
Rewards : 420 XP

[10] The Jasperlode Mine
Obtained from : Marshal Dughan, Goldshire
Objective : Scout through Jasperlode Mine
Rewards : 3 silver 50 copper and 850 XP

[7] Shipment to Stormwind
Obtained from : William Pestle, Goldshire Inn
Objective : Deliver William s Shipment to Stormwind
Rewards : Choice of 15 x Explosive Rockets, 5 x Oil of Olaf or 2 x Lion s Strength plus 800 XP

[7] Collecting Kelp
Obtained from : William Pestle, Goldshire Inn
Objective : Collect 4 Crystal Kelp Fonds
Rewards : 320 XP

Those are all the quests I collected after handing in. First, I made my way up to Stormwind as I wanted to check the Auction House for some armor, from Goldshire, take the fork on the left. To deliver the Shipment, you head into Pestle s Apothecary, the second building on your left as you enter the city. I chose the rockets personally, boom, big badda boom!

After handing in the Shipment, I made my way back to Goldshire, or more precisely Crystal Lake. If you re standing in Goldshire and you look at your mini map, you should be able to see the start of the lake north east. The islands and east end are riddled with Murlocs and these vile creatures will drop the Crystal Kelp Fonds for William Pestle.

I had a really good drop rate with these, all four in just five mobs. Since I was still so close to Goldshire, I quickly ran back to hand in.

[7] The Escape
Obtained from : William Pestle, Goldshire Inn
Objective : Take the Invisibility Liquor to Maybell Maclure
Rewards : 800 XP

Maybell is back at The Maclure Vineyard, where Billy is. To get the quest out of my log, I made my way there to hand in. Once done, make your way back to the main path and follow it east. Eventually you should see a tower approaching on your left, the Tower of Azora. If you head north just before the tower, you will eventually come to Jasperlode Mine. Be aware there are a few wolves and bears between the mine and the path.

Once you locate the Mine, fight your way in. You only need to scout out the mine, and as such don t need to go very far in. As the mobs come singularly most times, this is a relatively easy quest. Once complete, make your way back to the path and continue east.

Eventually you will come across a small bridge and Guard Thomas standing beside it. Hand in Further Concerns and pick up the next step.

[10] Protect the Frontier
Obtained from : Guard Thomas, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Slay Prowlers and Forest Bears
Rewards : 2 x Lesser Healing Potions and 625 XP

[10] Finding the Lost Guards
Obtained from : Guard Thomas, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Search for the two lost guards
Rewards : 210 XP

[10] Discover Rolf s Fate
Obtained from : Half-chewed Remains (yes you read right..)
Objective : Search for signs of Rolf s death
Rewards : 420 XP

Once you have collected the quests, follow the river north, staying on the same side as Guard Thomas. Just after the waterfall, look to your left and discover your first guard sort of. Right clicking the remains on the ground will complete the first step, and give you the follow on, the search for Rolf. Face east and make your way across the water. Before we go searching for another body though, head down into Eastvale Logging Camp and pick up some quests.

Note: Location of the first body is 72,60 for those that utilize titan bar or other location information mods.

[9] Red Linen Goods
Obtained from : Sara Timberlain, Eastvale Logging Camp
Objective : Collect 6 Red Linen Bandana s
Rewards : Red Linen Shirt, Red Linen Sash and 775 XP

[9] A Bundle of Trouble
Obtained from : Supervisor Raelen, Eastvale Logging Camp
Objective : Collect 8 Bundles of WoodRewards : 775 XP

Heading north from Supervisor Raelen will lead you almost directly to Rolf s remains, located in the midst of Murlocs! You want to start killing your way in from the east (right hand) side. Once you can see Rolf s remains, starting clearing your way in, very carefully. This is one of the trickier quests you will do in this area, as both the murlocs loitering around the remains, as well as the ones at the hut just near it, will both be double pulls. It is doable solo, however it will require patience and perhaps a couple of runs.

Thankfully Eastvale Logging Camp has a graveyard it in, something I discovered very quickly.

While you re running around, keep your eyes on the base of the trees, there you will find the Bundles of wood you need. In amongst all the trees are the Prowlers and Young Forest Bears for you to kill, keeping it nice and easy to complete multiple quests at once.

Once you have completed the quest at Rolf s remains, collected the medallion to return to Guard Thomas, grab the rest of your Bundles of Wood and hand those in. Don t worry too much about the Young Forest Bears if you haven t completed your kill count, you will kill them as you come across them. Make your way back to Guard Thomas, hand in and then head across to Brackwell Pumpkin Patch. Here you will find the Defias Bandits to drop the Red Linen Bandanas!

Fun tip : If you re feeling hungry, mouse over the pumpkin patch and ride one!

[9] Princess Must Die
Obtained from : Ma Stonefield, Stonefield Farm
Objective : Kill Princess and take her Collar
Rewards : 13 Armor Cloth Boots and 775 XP

If you collected this quest while playing around in the Fargodeep Mine, you can complete it while gathering the Red Linen Bandanas. Wandering around Brackwell Pumpkin Patch is Princess and her entourage. Be aware before engaging her that all three pigs will agro. You can concentrate on Princess and then run (or die) to avoid killing the other two. Even if you die, you can usually make it back to Princess corpse to loot in time.

Just to the left of the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch is a few Young Forest Bears so I killed those to finish off Protect the Frontier before making my way back Eastvale Logging Camp to hand in (stopping past Guard Thomas). Once done there I hearthed back to the Goldshire Inn to hand in the other quests I had completed.

Note : Princess collar is handed in back at The Stonefield Farm.

After handing in I was left with just speak to and a delivery quest. I did ding level 10 however, and if you re a Warlock following this, it means it s time to obtain your Voidwalker. Have a look in the Pet Quest Guides section of this forum for a write up on the quest.

[10] Bounty on Murlocs
Obtained from : Guard Thomas, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Collect 8 Torn Murloc Fins
Rewards : Choice of Weapons and 850 XP

After training up, I ran all the way back down to Eastvale Logging Camp to hand in [10] Cloth and Leather Armor where I also picked up this quest from Guard Thomas. The Murlocs are where you went looking for the remains of Guard Rolf and have a much better drop rate than I remember.

Once I had collected my fins, I returned to Guard Thomas to hand in before making my way to the complete other end of the zone to see Deputy Rainer at the Westbrook Garrison.


[10] Riverpaw Gnoll Bounty
Obtained from : Deputy Rainer, Westbrook Garrison, Elwynn Forest
Objective : Collect 8 Painted Gnoll Armbands
Rewards : 850 XP

[11+] Wanted : Hogger
Obtained from : Wanted Posted beside Deputy Rainer
Objective : Kill Hogger and take his paw to Marshal Dughan
Rewards : ?? XP

You will notice the ?? XP reward listed under Hogger this is because I didn t complete this quest. Your first elite quest, Hogger is not someone you want to take on solo unless you re prepared and confident. At level 10, he is one tough cookie. If you are wanting to try your luck

For the Riverpaw Gnoll Bounty however, you want to head south from Deputy Rainer, across the path. Here you will find Riverpaw Outrunners, Runts etc they will drop your armbands. Voila, all done!

Part 3

Westfall

Started: Level 11
Completed: Level 14

Aah Westfall As dry and barren as it is, for some reason it s one of my favorite Alliance zones. By now I start to feel as if my character is starting to get somewhere, finally out of the newbie area of Elwynn Forest, a change of scenery in front of me.

You enter Westfall from the west most end of Elwynn Forest, just past the Westbrook Garrison and the area where Hogger and his gnolls inhabit. As you exit Elwynn Forest you will pass over a small bridge and have your surroundings turn from lush greens, to dry yellow and brown.
Westfall was all but destroyed by the rebel Defias Brotherhood and its demi-human minions, who could easily take control of the poorly defended farmlands. The Brotherhood, composed mainly of thieves and bandits, made Westfall their new refuge. Employing everything from local superstitions to sabotaging mechanical Harvest Golems, the Brotherhood stopped at nothing to scare away trespassers and protect their stolen treasures.

Only the People's Millitia, a volunteer military organization, rose to stand in their way, recruiting young heroes of the Alliance to strike back and regain what was stolen. This battle is still ongoing, and in the end, the only hope the people of Westfall has is to strike directly against the leaders of the Defias, in hiding somewhere deep below ground.

As you enter the zone you will immediately see Verna and Farmer Fulbrow, and if you were lucky enough to have Furlbrow's Deed drop while killing in Elwynn Forest, you can hand this into Farmer Fulbrow now.

[14] Poor Old Blanchy
Obtained from : Verna Furlbrow, The Jansen Stead, Westfall
Objective : Gather 8 Handfuls of Oats
Rewards : 9 Armor Cloak, 4 Slot bag and 1250 XP

[10] Westfall Stew
Obtained from : Verna Furlbrow, The Jansen Stead, Westfall
Objective : Deliver Verna s recipe to Salma Saldean.
Rewards : 420 XP
Be sure to also collect The Forgotten Heirloom while you are here, although you won t be attempting to complete it straight away. To start with, we are going to continue on our way to Sentinel Hill, the main focal point of the zone.

From The Furlbrows, continue along the path until you see it fork, from here you want to head almost straight south through the grass to the house you can see off in the distance. Inside you will find Salma Saldean who Verna wanted you to find. You can also collect a couple of other quests while you here

Note : Be sure to keep your eyes open, there will usually a sack of oats or two around the outskirts of this. You will find these scattered through out the zone.

[12] Gortusk Liver Pie
Obtained from : Salma Saldean, Saldean s Farm, Westfall
Objective : Collect 8 Goretusk Livers
Rewards : 3 Goretusk Pies, the recipe and 900 XP

[13] Westfall Stew
Obtained from : Salma Saldean, Saldean s Farm, Westfall
Objective : Gather the ingredients for Westfall Stew
Rewards : A variety of items as well as 900 XP

Both of these quests can be done while running around the zone and don t really need to be done in a particular area or in any order.
3 x Stringy Vulture Meat From Fleshripper s found all around the zone.
3 x Goretusk Snouts Drops from Goretusks, again all over the zone.
3 x Murloc Eyes Murlocs are found along the shore line
3 x Okra Drops from the Mechanical Harvesters.
Once you have collected your quests, face south and make your way towards the tower you should be able to see in the distance. Kill or dodge any mobs in your way. Sentinel Hill provides you with a flight path, merchants to sell up to and repair at (repair at the ones on the side of the road), an Inn to rest at and lots more quests!

[10] A Swift Message
Obtained from : Quartermaster Lewis, Sentinel Hill
Objective : Deliver Lewis' Note to the gryphon master
Rewards : 210 XP

If you are playing a Human character, you will be able to pick up this quest from the merchant located inside Sentinel Tower. The quest line is fairly easy to follow, take Lewi s note to the gryphon master at Sentinel Hill and then purchase a flight to Stormwind. Note that you must purchase the flight and not hearthstone back, this is part of the quest line


Once you land in Stormwind, make your way to the Old Town section of the city. As you enter from the Trade District, turn right and you should almost instantly see the yellow marker appear on your mini map outlining the whereabouts of Osric Strang. Once you have handed in that step, head back to the Stormwind Gryphon master, hand in and purchase a flight back to Westfall again you must take the flight.

Once back in Westfall, hand the final part back to Quartermaster Lewis. The total quest line yielded me 1890 XP.

[12] The People s Militia
Obtained from : Gryan Stoutmantle, Sentinel Hill, Westfall
Objective : Slay 15 Defias Trappers and 15 Smugglers
Rewards : 900 XP

[15] Red Leather Bandanas
Obtained from : Scout Galiaan, Sentinel Hill, Westfall
Objective : Retrieve 15 Red Leather Bandanas
Rewards : Choice of Cloak or Legs and 1050 XP

I decided to begin my real adventures with some Defias killing. If you head North out of Sentinel Hill, you ll come across a small patch of Defias Trappers and Smugglers, so feel free to stop and kill your way through that.

That one camp won t be enough to finish the quest, but if you continue north running between The Molsen and Saldean Farms, you will come across Jangolode Mine which has more than enough. You will most likely find more Smugglers inside, or you can hang around outside for safety and wait for respawn. All of them have a chance to drop the Red Leather Bandana s, however if you don t get all 15 by the time you have your kill count, don t worry, there will be many more Defias to kill!

[12] The Forgotten Heirloom
Obtained from : Farmer Furlbrow, The Jansen Stead, Westfall
Objective : Retrieve Furlbrow s Pocket Watch
Rewards : 10 Freshly Baked Bread, 10 Ice Cold Milk and 900 XP

Once you are done slaughtering Jangolode Mine, make your way north-east to Furlbrow s Pumpkin Farm. Inside the hut there (not the barn) you will find a closet. Inside that you will find Farmer Furlbrow s Pocket Watch. You will have one Defias guarding just outside the entrance, and usually another one inside. Along with the one inside however, you will also have Benny Blaanco who is level 15 and neither can be pulled separately.

You can try sneaking up outside the hut and trying to loot the closet through the wall, but there is still a very good chance you will agro both. Although level 15, he is not that hard to take down

[14] Patrolling Westfall
Obtained from : Captain Danuvin, Sentinel Hill, Westfall
Objective : Collect 8 Gnoll Paws
Rewards : 11 Armor Cloth Wristbands and 975 XP

Once you have collected your pocket watch, continue north to the cliffs that overlook the water. All along the cliff tops are little packs of Gnolls, and they drop paws you need to collect. If you head straight north from the farm and kill your way along the cliff edges to the east, you will come to where the paddocks meet the waters edge and Murlocs!

The Murlocs up this end are the lowest around and have a pretty good drop rate for the eyes you need in the Westfall Stew. While you are running around the zone, be sure to kill any Goretusks and Vultures for the other parts. Okra will drop from the mechanical golems later.

Once you have killed all your Defias, collected your Gnoll Paws and retrieved your pocket watch, make your way around handing in.

[14] The Peoples Militia
Obtained from : Gryan Stoutmantle, Sentinel Hill, Westfall
Objective : Slay 15 Defias Looters and 15 Pillagers
Rewards : 975 XP

The second step in the Defias killing follows onto Looters and Pillagers. There are two main places you can go - the Defias hangout Moonbrook, or the lesser known Gold Coast Quarry. Depending on the time of day, Moonbrook can sometimes be completely over run with other players.

Just like their relatives, these Defias will also drop the Red Leather Bandanas, and if you haven t already collected your 15, you will after this quest.

[15] The Killing Fields
Obtained from : Farmer Saldean, Saldeans Farm, Westfall
Objective : Slaughter 20 Harvest Watchers
Rewards : 2 Stamina 2 Spirit Robe and 1050 XP

Hopefully by now you re a level or two higher, and the Harvest Watchers are a little easier to take. These golems are all around the zone, with the lower level ones usually lurking in the hay piles, while the Watchers, the ones you need, roam the fields. I tend to bounce between Saldeans Farm, The Molsen Farm and Furlbrows Pumkpin Patch, all three have Watchers. If you fought at the Gold Coast Quarry for your Defias, there are also Watchers at Alexton Farmstead which is the area just near there.

The Golems will also drop the Okra you need for the Westfall Stew quest, which if you have been killing Goretusks and Vultures, you can hand in. The golems also drop Hops which you will want to hold onto (only 5) to hand in later on for a separate quest, and Flasks of Oil, which is for another quest again, so hold onto 5 of these too.

Note:
Harvest Watchers (and Golems) are mechanical creatures, and thus you can not drain any life from them (if you are a warlock). They are also immune to fear and taunt, which means your Voidwalker most likely won t be able to tank these for you. For these fights I recommend the Imp to help take them down as quickly as I could. I was surprised to find you can use drain soul and in fact yield a shard!


By now you should start to be running a little dry on Westfall quests, the ones remaining involving mobs a little too high to take at our level. At level 14 you can pick up the first quest that will eventually send you inside The Deadmines, the first instance Alliance see. You can pick it up from Gryan Stoutmantle at Sentinel Hill Westfall and follow the quest log, or read through the information under the Deadmines guide.

It s up to you if you complete it now or later, most pick up groups won t take players before level 17 or more. If you do decide to run around handing in now, feel free to take a look at the Lakeshire guide for the starting quests in that zone. If you re in the mood to run around, these can give you a nice boost to your XP. For now though, I m going to leave the remaining high level Westfall quests and make my way over to Loch Modan!

Additional Quests
Below are two quests that come from outside the normal quest givers in Westfall. Humble Beginnings comes from Stormwind more specifically the building to the right of the cathedral if you were facing it.

[15] Humble Beginnings
Obtained from : Baros Alexston, Cathedral Square, Stormwind City
Objective : Retrieve a simple compass
Rewards : 1050 XP

For the compass you need to head to Alexston Farmstead and into the burnt out hut there. The problem is the three defias pull right out the front, extremely difficult solo. Fear is your friend here along with any tricks you might have up your sleeve, potions, bombs etc.

[16] Sander's Hidden Treasure
Obtained from : Captain Sander's Treasure Map, Dropped Item
Objective : A Treasure Hunt
Rewards : 8 Slot Bag, Cloth Sash, Sander s stained Shirt and XP!

Obtaining this quest relies on luck or a lot of patience. The first step drops from the Murlocs along the beach. It doesn t appear to be level based as I had it drop from both the low level Murlocs while collecting my eyes, as well as the higher ones further south.

A fun quest, this sends you on a treasure hunt around the zone, stopping at different places to find more clues. The footlocker is the hardest of all the items to obtain as it s half buried in the sand surrounded by level 15 or so Murlocs some with pets! If you can complete this step however, the rest is simply running around.

That is mostly all that i can remember, I will edit if i can remember any more :)

World of Warcraft Arena Season 4 will end soon (Warcraft)

forums in Europe, Season four of the Arena will end in less than two weeks, on October 14.

Once Season 4 ends, teams and ratings will carry over so that players still get to earn points and purchase gear until Wrath of the Lich King launches on November 13. Also, note that October 14 is only a tentative date, as Wryxian explains:

We re currently planning to end the fourth Arena season on October 14, 2008, and as always — this date could easily change.

This Arena Season is only ending in respect to the ladder, meaning we'll be taking a snapshot of the season's ladder and then go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week.


It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the arena-specific title and/or Armored Nether Drake to refrain from transferring their character to another realm between the date outlined above, and when the end-of-season rewards are physically awarded.

Warcraft Characters app for iPhone gets new update
Screenshot of Warcraft Characters app for iPhone - Image 1If you want to pull up some quick information about your World of Warcraft character (or anyone else's for that matter), why don't you try browsing for it on your iPhone. I'm not talking about the WoW Armory. There's a quicker way for you to do that - on the new and updated version of the Warcraft Characters app for the iPhone.

Released last July on the App Store, the WoW-friendly application now features some interesting and useful additions. Aside from compatibility with Apple's firmware 2.0, the app now allows you to view a character's gear, as well as his or her's reputation status.

In addition, non-US players can now make use of the app since it provides extended compatibility for characters from all other realms, such as those from China, Korea and Taiwan. The only thing missing seems to be the talents list for each character viewed. Otherwise, as a portable Armory, this app definitely does the job quite well.

Warcraft Characters is available on the App Store for free, so go ahead and download a copy. We'll be sure to keep tabs on any further updates regarding this nifty app as soon as we get them.

WotLK beta servers down for new build; level cap to be raised? (Warcraft)

The beta servers for Wrath of the Lich King are down , ladies and gents. That's because they are about to unleash a new build, and you bet this is but the calm before the storm.

As rumor would have it, based on the Gamona video interview at Leipzig earlier today, the level cap will be raised to 80. We cannot know for sure until the servers go back up. The downtime is expected to run for about six to eight hours, which started at 2:30PM PST.

Leipzig: Games Convention 2009 dated, GC 2008 sets record
Leipzig 2008 - Image 1With the Leipzig Games Convention 2008 finally closing its curtains, we now get confirmation that next year's event has already been scheduled. The announcement was made via press release by Leipziger Messe GmbH CEO Wolfgang Marzin: GC 2009 will be held from August 19 to 23, also in Leipzig.

Along with the announcement, we hear of a survey conducted to this year's event's visitors, asking them if they'd want to see another GC next year.

Among all the visitors - whether trade exhibitor or part of the general public (some of which have travelled from half way across the world just to see the show) - a vast majority of about 90 agreed.

This makes me think of what the outcome would have been if a survey like this were conducted at the end of this year's E3, but moving on…

GC 2008's success is proven by the sheer number of visitors who dropped in: over the four-day period, some 203,000 people came in. Compared to last year, the number of software and hardware companies from around the world who participated in the Leipzig event have increased, from 189 to 234.

Fishing Money Making Guide (World of warcraft)

(Horde)First get fishing and train it in Orgrimmar to about 70. Then head to the Barrens and enter Wailing Caverns (the instance). Head into a enclosed area with some water around (prefereably the croc place) and start fishing. In a while you should start collecting Deviate Fish (Nightcrawlers or shiny baubbles shouls help), these little buggers can sell up to 20g for 10-20 in the AH depending on the server. To make even more money train in cooking and get it to the same skill level as your fishing(probably 80-90) and head to the lower Barrens and get ready to kill some boarmen because they have a chance of dropping a cooking recipe of Savory Deviate Delights, which after they are made sell even more.

Leveling in Wrath of the Lich King now needs twice as much experience
Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft - Image 1If you think going through the ten extra levels Wrath of the Lich King will be offering is going to be a breeze, then think again. An article written on WoW Insider indicated that leveling now needs nearly twice as much experience (around 80 to be exact) compared to before.

While it is expected that leveling is a lot harder at this point, the steep slope the new leveling curve introduces can be quite daunting for even veteran World of Warcraft players. It is still a point of contention whether Blizzard will adjust this curve in the future or simply introduce other game balancing methods to draw out the grind.

The expansion does introduce two new starting points for players to suitably level their characters for the area. However, having players clear through them just to level up kind of defeats the whole purpose of creating them in the first place.

We'll be sure to keep an eye on any new updates regarding this matter as soon as we get them. In the meantime, check out our other WotLK articles through the links we've provided below.

Making quick money with secondary skills (World of warcraft)

Make Gold with Secondary Skills

Crafting drops/exp
Farming crafting drops can be done all over the world of Azeroth. Things like Large Fangs are used in smithing/tailoring/enchanting/Alchemy. Spider silks come in 3 forms and sell VERY well on AH at times (Spider Silk, Ironweb Spider Silk, Shadow Silk).

*NICHE* Secondary Skills like Cooking and Fishing can be used to make consumable foods/Pet foods/Transforming foods. Most would snub their nose at this but we have made close to 450 gold in 2 days with cooking and fishing on straight runs though sat/sun, 12 hours each.

As you kill/fish things they drop meats etc. 90% of the items that drop in WoW are used in some craft/spell. Some sell for less some more. Gather all items that the monsters are dropping that you know are used in some craft. Then start fishing for Delight Fish. A Delight Fish is fun, and we won't go into the mods of eating it, but they often sell for as much as 2-5 gold on AH for five of them, and we typically gather about two per minute.
By cooking the items that you gather you allow people who don't want to max out a cooking skill maxed the ability to use them. We usually sell meats and soups on AH for 30 silver to 3 gold for 5.

Humanoids for cloth
Humanoids drop all kinds of cloth and its used in 4 of the 5 main trade skills, and 1 secondary skill. (linen, silk, mageweave, runecloth, fellcloth) As you encounter humanoid enemies, you can gather about 2-10 stacks within 20-50 min of farming as you pass though. Selling that on the AH when you get back to Ironforge or Orgimmar. Fellcoth is turned to mooncloth by tailors and we usually sell 2 fellcloth for 2 gold about 5-10 stacks per day.

Quest items
Although this is the most time consuming way to make money it is very easy to do. And once you know the locations of the items you are gathering you will be much faster at it.

We'll start with the big hitters:
Ungoro Crater (lvl 50+) — Shards from the area are used to create buffs and a quest that is located there. Can be sold in the amount of 10 stacks for 1 gold per 10 at the AH in Tanaris. They drop by 2-4 at a time and takes 30 min to get a full bag fast.

Ungoro Soil — Used in 3 quest for the alliance and 2 for the horde, this can sell very fast for a quick buck. We've sold 10 stacks for 50 silver to 2.5 gold depending on demand. At times the demand is so high we cant keep up with it.

Azshara(lvl 50+) — The hostile Gryphons there drop IronFeathers, used in one of the most desired armors on our server. You can sell a 10 stack for 5-10 gold and sell 4-15 stacks a day. Also there is an abundance of sea creatures that drop clams. The meat can be cooked, and if your lucky you will walk out with 15-20 gold or black pears to boot
