Revision of Jame's Horde Leveling Guide - Chapter III (41-51) from Mon, 2008-03-03 02:34
Chapter III (41-51) - Journey from the Grom'Gol to Tanaris
This is v2.0 of the guide. It has been revamped as mentioned in this news post to adapt to patch v2.3 changes. You can still find the old version of the guide here. At the same time, many other improvements have been made:
- Introduction/Addons section has been updated
- Kill everything on your way rule has been lifted unless you lack experience compared to the progress described in the guide
- Grinding sessions removed and instances aren't part of the leveling process anymore (no dependancy on groups)
- Quests that aren't elite anymore have been integrated
- New patch 2.3 content has been integrated (Mudsprocket quests etc.)
- Maps have been remade and a lot of errors have been corrected
- Dustwallow Marsh circuits have been added
- Leveling should be possible at a faster pace than before

Big thanks to Subere for his beautiful map/picture editing
This guide starts at level 41. However I hope that you followed the 1st chapter and the 2nd Chapter of this guide as well. Because a lot of pre-questing and flight path gathering is done in it and we will need it for this chapter. If you didn't, it's not that bad, you'll just have some more grinding to do to catch up. If you need guides for any other level range (from 1-41 for example) please take a look at this page.
This guide is optimized for FAST leveling with a minimum of grinding sessions. Quests are important, they give rewards and faction and are less boring than pure grinding.
Some people say that grinding is always faster than questing, this is true in theory when you don't know which quests to take and which to avoid, and what is the best order to do them in. With this guide, questing will be very efficient and much better than pure grinding. Follow each instruction carefully and you will see for yourself.
The quest choices and order to do them in are optimized so that you run as few as possible while doing the most possible and then turning several quests in at the same time. This guide will be very useful for both veteran and novice players. I try to keep the amount of information as short as possible. So even the guide itself is optimized for the minimum reading possible, to save time! Let's get started immediately then! Everything described in this guide can be done solo (besides when I say otherwise). However you can follow this guide while duoing, grouping, it's not a problem, it works too.
Basic rules
- As soon as you see that you start to lack experience compared to the progress described in the guide start to kill everything that is on your way while traveling and that gives experience (Yellow mobs preferably, but greens are ok if they are just 3-4 levels below you, not more).
- Spend your talent points so you do the most damage possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, Rogues Combat/Assassination, etc).
- Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide. Only group with someone when it's not gonna be a waste of time (e.g: meeting the person at the other end of the zone to show him the way to where your quest is - that is a waste of time)
- Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.
- If I don't mention a quest, it means I consider it a waste of time, so don't take it thinking I forgot a quest here and there, I didn't. Also don't abandon a quest unless I say you should.
- Sometimes I will be making lists of quest you should have before starting with an area, that doesn't mean I will list the whole quest log, JUST the quests that interest us for the moment.
- When I say you should bind (make an inn your home location) somewhere, it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time. Don't change your home location until I say so.
Useful Addons
Something that's amazingly useful is the Ace2 updater. Download and install it and the program will present you with a list of addons which all use the same library (hence they consume very few ressources). From that list you can choose addons that interest you (I downloaded Fubar quest mod, Fubar location, Cartographer, Bartender and a mod to make my UI look better) and the program will install all the addons for you. Furthermore you can run the program every time before you launch WoW and choose to update all installed modules for you.
Side Note:
If your addons are not being loaded when you enter the game you might need to log out to your character selection screen and click on "Addons" in the left lower corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Relaunch WoW.
Shopping List:
Every time you pass by an auction house, try to buy the following items:
- Level 44: Patterned Bronze Bracers -- If you can't find them on the auction house, find a blacksmith willing to do them for a small tip. The components needed are 5x Bronze Bars, 2x Coarse Grinding Stone
- Level 44: Frost Oil - Made by alchemists. Components are 4x Khadgar's Whisker, 2x Wintersbite, 1x Leaded Vial
- Level 44: Gyrochronatom - Made by engineers. Components are 1x Iron Bar, 1x Gold Power Core
- Level 45: All the Pages for the Green Hills of Stranglethorn quest. They can be found at the auction house in the main cities and also at the booty bay auction.

Color Code:
Level 41
Before starting to follow the guide, I highly recommend that you get your level 40 mount. There will be more and more traveling the higher in levels we get. It will save you a tremendous amount of time in the long run.
Here we go:
First of all, go to Orgrimmar, go to the inn and make it your home location.
Take the Zeppelin to Grom'gol outpost.
In Grom'gol, get the following quests if you don't have them already (if you didn't follow my last chapter):
From the previous chapter :
Turn in [35] The Troll Witchdoctor at Kin'Weelay.
From Grom'gol ride north, find a small plateau in between Tkashi Ruins and Bal'lal Ruins (31,17). On top of this plateau you should find Sin'dal, a level 37 named tiger. Kill it, loot the Paw of Sin'dal.
Ride northeast to Nesingwary's Camp. Turn in [37]Tiger Mastery.
Go east back on the main road, follow it north, until you enter Duskwoods. Our next stop is Stonard in Swamps of Sorrows.
Follow the road north, turn right at the crossroads, follow it as shown on the map below, make sure to avoid the alliance town of Darkshire.
Go through Deadman's Crossing, follow the path shown on this map:
You should be in Swamp of Sorrows now, follow the road, go right at the crossroads, and keep going until you find Stonard (43,55). Get the flight path and the following quests:
They can all be found inside the buildings in Stonard. Don't get the other quests.
1. Go north to the small "isle" shown on map (48,41), stay in this area, kill everything in a wide radius until you have 8 Unprepared Sawtooth Flanks and found Noboru the Cudgel. Noboru is a level 39 draenei, he wanders in Swamps of Sorrows but always comes to this spot every now and then, you'll find him eventually if you stay in this area, kill him, loot his cudgel, right click it to start the quest [39]Noboru the Cudgel.
2. Ride west to the Harborage(25,31). Turn in [39]Noboru the Cudgel.
3. Ride southeast to the Pool of Tears (65,45), swim down in the pool and look for Atal'ai Artifacts, gather 10 of them. A full turn around the pool should be enough.
4. Get back on your mount, ride southeast to Misty Reed Post (80,80), turn in the quest [40]Lack of Surplus and get the follow up [42]Lack of Surplus.
5. Ride west back to Stonard.
Turn in:
[43]The Pool of Tears, don't get the follow up.
Your quest log should look something like this:
If you didn't follow my last chapter, you probably don't have all quests. It's not a big deal though, just ignore the ones from Thousand Needles and Arathi Highland. However, try to get the ones you miss from Stranglethorn Vale, most of them can be obtained in Booty Bay (beside raptor and panter mastery).
Fly to Kargath, Badlands. Sell, repair, restock food/drink.
Turn in [35]Neeka Bloodscar (he's at the top of the guard tower). Get the follow up [40]Report to Helgrum, also get the other quest [40]Coyote Thieves from Neeka Bloodscar and [40] Unclaimed Baggage from Advisor Sarophas at the bottom of the tower.
Go to the inn and get [39]Badlands Reagent Run
From now on, kill every coyote and buzzard you find on your way.
Start of XP Circuit:
1. Ride east to Lotwil Veratius, get the quest [39]Study of the Elements:Rock
2 Ride further east / northeast until you reach Angor Fortress. Fight your way to the entrance and from there enter on the right side. Fight your way through straight until you reach a room. You should find a weapon rack in this room looking like this :
Loot it. Go back outside to the entrance and this time go left. Fight your way straight through until you hit a room similar to the one we found the weapon rack in. There you should find a barrel looking like this :
Loot it as well. Fight your way back outside.
3. Ride south, around the hill to the Valley of Fangs and find Martek the Exiled (42,52). Turn in the quest [37]Martek the Exiled and get the follow up [39]Indurium.
Talk to the goblin next to Martek, get the quest:
[40]Barbecued Buzzard Wings
4. Go south to Agmond's End (50,65), kill the troggs there until you have 10 Indurium Flakes.

7. Go northwest of the elementals, there is a vast area with a lot of coyotes and some buzzards (35,72). Kill stuff there until you have 30 Coyote Jawbones and 10 Crag Coyote Fangs.

End of XP Circuit:
Note: I had some rested bonus during the first 10 minutes of the circuit. So you can chalk off about 10000XP from the screenshot. However, that still makes about 63000XP in 50 minutes, not too shabby .
Fly to Booty Bay.
Get out of the inn and get the quest [43]Akiris by the Bundle from Privateer Bloads in front of the bank.
While you are there check the Booty Bay auction house for any Stranglethorn Page you might still be missing.
From the bank, go up the pier and in the first house to the left you should find "Sea Wolf" MacKinley, get the quests [41]Scaring Shaky and [45]Stoley's Debt from him.
Head towards Booty Bay's exit and get [45] Stranglethorn Fever from Fin Fizracket who is under a broken boat right on the way. Get a last quest on the way from First Mate Crazz, [41]The Bloodsail Buccaneers.
1. Exit Booty Bay and go left, until you reach a pirate camp by the cove. Clear the camp and find the Bloodsail Correspondence on one of the barrels.
Click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [41]The Bloodsail Buccaneers.
2. Go northwest across the bridge and further northwest along the coast until you find some nagas. Kill those nagas until you have 10 Akiris Reed.
3. Ride back to the entrance of Booty Bay, this time go on the other side, follow the road north just a little while until you have Mistvale Gorillas on your right (31,68). Kill gorillas until you have gathered 5 Mistvale Giblets and until you get 1 Gorilla Fang.
4. Go north to (35,61) where you'll find a cave with Witch Doctor Unbagwa. Once you speak to him, 3 waves of 1 gorilla will spawn, with 10 seconds in between. You have time to eat/drink between the waves, don't loot though, you can do that afterwards. So after about 10 seconds an Enraged Silverback Gorilla (level 43) will attack you. After killing that gorilla you have another 10 seconds until Konda spawns (also level 43). Kill him as well. Then after another 10 seconds Mokk the Savage will run into the cave (Level 44). Kill him and loot the Heart of Mokk.
5. Go back to Booty Bay. Down the first slope you'll find "Shaky" Phillipe, turn in the quest and get the follow up [41]Return to MacKinley. Further towards the inn, turn in [45] Stranglethorn Fever at Fin Fizracket and [41]The Bloodsail Buccaneers at First Mate Crazz, get the follow up.
Up the slope right after First Mate Crazz, go to the house to your left and find Sea Wolf MacKinley, turn in the quest and get the follow up [44]Voodoo Dues. Go to the top floor of the inn and turn in [41]The Bloodsail Buccaneers at Fleet Master Seahorn, get the follow up.
In the room just before Fleet Master Seahorn get the quest [41]Up to Snuff from Deeg. At the bank turn in [43]Akiris by the Bundle.
Before leaving Booty Bay, find Dizzy One-Eye and get his quest [42]Keep an Eye Out. Dizzy is behind a big building close to the forge, which is actually quite close to the exit of Booty Bay, on the highest floor.
1. Get out of Booty Bay and go east towards the shore named Wild Shore. From there, go southwards while killing any Bloodsails on the way until you reach the 1st camp (29,80). Clear the camp and look for a map thingy named "Bloodsail Charts" or "Bloodsail Orders", If you don't find either, move on further south until you find a small boat ashore, check it for maps as well. Careful, the Bloodsail Warlocks really hurt, make sure you interrupt their shadowbolts if you can, and kill them fast then deal with their pets. If you are a Rogue or a Mage though, I suggest sap / polymorph on the Warlock first, kill the pet and then the Warlock.
2. Go further south until you find a bigger camp at (27,82). This camp will be harder to clear, but it's possible if you do it carefully.
Check the camp for Bloodsail Orders or Charts. Basically, the Bloodsail Charts and Orders can spawn at any of the two camps or at the boat. So check all three until you got both.
Then wander up and down the shore where you came from and kill Bloodsails until you get :
- 10 Bloodsail Swashbuckler Kills
- 15 Snuff (can drop from any Bloodsail)
- 1 Dizzy's Eye (can drop from any Bloodsail)
If you have a hard time finishing the snuffs, you can swim to the ships which are close to the shore. The Bloodsails there drop them too.
3. Ride back to Booty Bay.
You should be level 43 or close by now.
Level 43
Go to the top floor of the inn, turn in [41]The Bloodsail Buccaneers, get the follow up [42]The Bloodsail Buccaneers. Turn in [41]Up to Snuff and get the quest [42] Skullsplitter Tusks from Kebok. Sell and repair, restock food/drink.
Go turn in [42]Keep an eye out at Dizzy One-Eye on your way out of Booty Bay.
Get out of Booty Bay and ride east to the shore, then south along the shore until you have 3 pirate ships in sight.
We're gonna do [42]The Bloodsail Buccaneers.
Let's start with the ship which is the most to the west (30,89).
Instead of describing step by step how everything is done, I made a video, with explanations inside (the video was made before patch v2.3 but it's still more or less the same, beside that there are less mobs and they are lower level):
Note: The parchment I looted at the bottom of the ship - Cortello's Riddle - can spawn in any of the three ships, so you'll have to check the bottom floor of each ship until you find it. It can also spawn in other parts of the ship, so check every corner of each ship carefully, but it mostly spawns on the bottom floor.
When you pull the middle floor, don't fight in the stairs. As soon as you aggro something, get off the stairs, or you might aggro something from the captain's cabin through the floor, it's an annoying bug but it's easily avoided if you don't fight on the stairs.
In case you have difficulties with Fleet Master Firallon, I made short video of it:
Do the same for the other two ships and you should have [45]The Bloodsail Buccaneers complete and have Cortello's Riddle. Right click it and get the quest [43]Cortello's Riddle.
Note: Ignore Brutus, that iron golem standing at the top of the eastern ship. He doesn't drop anything particular and is a pain to kill.
Once done, go back to Booty Bay.
Fly to Stonard, Swamps of Sorrows.
From Stonard, follow the road west and then go north to the bridge at (23,48). Look under the bridge for a Soggy Scroll. (You'll see a question mark on your minimap)
Click the scroll, turn in the quest and get the follow up [43]Cortello's Riddle.
Hearthstone to Orgrimmar.
Visit the class trainer, the auction house, check for Stranglethorn Pages you might still miss. Also check for the other items on the shopping list, we'll only come back once to Orgrimmar before we need the first few.
Fly to Brackenwall, Dustwallow Marsh. If you don't have that flight path, fly to Camp Taurajo in the Barrens. From Camp Taurajo go south along the road and then east at the first crossroad. Enter Dustwallow Marsh and then go north to Brackenwall Village (36,32).
Turn in [38] Return to Krog.
Get the quest [43]Overlord Mok'Morokk's Concern from Overlord Mok'Morokk next to the bonfire, [43]Army of the Black Dragon from Tharg next to the eastern exit of the village, and [43]Identifying the Brood from Draz'Zilb inside the cave.
Fly to Mudsprocket. Get the following quests:

4. Ride northwest to the area named The Den of Flame, which you can enter by the main gate on the southeastern side of it at (40,67). From now on kill every dragonkin you see. After killing a Firemane Scout, Ash Tail or Scalebane, use your Brogg's Totem from your inventory on their corpses to get a Black Dragonkin Essence. You'll need to do this 10 times. At the cave entrance you should find Mok'Morokk's Grog (39,66), which looks like a big pot.
Go inside the cave and keep to the left side until you see a banner with a tiger pelt. Loot the Stonemaul Banner. Now go the other extremity of the cave you should find Mok'Morokk's Strongbox on the floor, which is a rectangular black/steel box.
Loot it and then get out of the cave. Continue killing Firemanes here until you finish [39] The Essence of Enmity.
5. Go back to Mudsprocket and turn in both quests at Brogg. Get the follow up [41] Spirits of Stonemaul Hold.
6. Go northeast to Stonemaul Ruins (43,66). Kill as many searing whelps/hatchlings as you can find to complete [41] Identifying the Brood. At the same time look for Ogre Remains:
Right click them and and Stonemaul Spirits will spawn which you need to kill. You'll need to free 10 spirits like this.
You should find Mok'Morokk's Snuff dead center of the fortress in plain sight on a metallic floor texture, located at (44,65).

When you have fed all 3 animals, go further east to (63,18) where you will find a destroyed caravan, right next to the caravan you will find Galen Goodward inside a cage, before you get his quest, clear the 'lost ones' camps to the southwest of the cage. Then get the quest [38]Galen's Escape and escort him out.
You should preceed Galen and attack anything that could jump on him because Galen is rather weak. After you have escorted him successfully, go southwest to (47,39). There you will find a small tent and Galen's Strongbox next to it. Open it, complete the quest.
2. Go east until you find Sawtooth Snappers (75,15), they are the bigger version of the crocolisks we killed in this zone last time. Go south from that location to find more crocs, just be careful not to run into those elite dragons. Keep killing those crocs until you have 6 Sawtooth Snapper Claws.

Set your Hearthstone to the Booty Bay inn. While here also check the Auction House for any Stranglethorn Pages you might still be missing :
Here is the list:
- 1. Chapter I: page 1,4,6,8
- 2. Chapter II: page 10,11,14,16
- 3. Chapter III: page 18,20,21,24
- 4. Chapter IV: page 25,26,27
We'll be needing them soon, so I advise you start offering 50s or even 1 gold for the pages you miss in the trade channel. We still have some killing to do though before we actually go turn in the page quest.
1. Get out of Booty Bay and ride north, stay on the road until you reach (39,41), slightly long ride.
At (39,41) go east and you will find Venture Co. Goblins uphill. Kill them until you get 10 Singing Blue Crystals.

4. Ride north along the shore until you find and Elder Saltwater Crocolisk. Kill it and loot the Elder Crocolisk Skin off it.
5. Ride further northwest/north along the shore until you find the back entrance of the big troll ruins (21,11). Look at this zoom of the minimap to know what path to follow:
You should find Nezzilok the Dire at (24,10) if you followed the map above. Kill him and loot his head. Just a bit further north you should find Gan'zulah, the troll boss of those ruins (23,8 ). Kill him and loot his head.
6. Ride out of the ruins of Zul'Kunda, go east towards Nesingwary's Expedition (36,10).
Turn in [41]Raptor Mastery, don't get the follow up. Also abandon [40]Panther Mastery (elite), because that named panther can sometimes take way too long to be found.
Get the quest [40]The Green Hills of Stranglethorn and then take the four other quests named Chapter I, II, III and IV. Turn them all in then turn in the quest [40]The Green Hills of Stranglethorn.
It can take some time to find these mobs, especially if someone else killed them before you so if you don't want to waste time on this, just skip this circuit. However if you lack exp, this might be a nice way to catch up.
Take [43] Raptor Mastery and retake [40] Panther Mastery.
Tethis has three spawn points (31,43 | 28,43 | 31,40) and roams in the back (west) of the Gurubashi Arena. Kill and loot him.
Bag'thera has three spawn points (48,20 | 48,28 | 46,28) and roams around in this area after he spawns. Kill and loot him.
Go back to Nesingwary's Expedition Camp and turn the two quests in.
You should be level 45 by now.

Clear the camp, beware of the patrols roaming this area, there are 2 of them and each contain 3 trolls level 39-40. Once the camp is clear, click on the Ziata'jai Trophy Skulls which stand in the middle of the ruins and loot the Ziata'jai Trophy.
9. Follow the little path northeast until you reach Balia'mah Ruins (45,33). Kill all the trolls there as well. When this camp is clear, loot the Balia'mah Trophy Skull.
10. Follow the path southeast and then south until you reach the Ruins of Zul'Mamwe (47,38), you should find the Zul'Mamwe Trophy Skulls there, loot it.
Now kill all the trolls you find in the ruins (Though avoid the southernmost ones up the plateau, the trolls there are higher level).
If you run out of trolls go back to the first ruins of Ziata'Jai and repeat this cycle - as shown by the arrows on the map - until you get 18 Skullsplitter Tusk, and 25 Splitbone Necklaces.
11. Go back to the Ruins of Zul'Mamwe. Our objective is to complete the quest [46]Speaking with Gan'zulah. All the quest objectives are in the ruins of Zul'Mamwe, so let's just go there and kill everything in the way. Just be careful, there are many patrols and you can get easily overwhelmed if you don't pull carefully.
Skullsplitter Headhunters and Berserkers can be found in the southeastern part of the ruins (48,43) - which we avoided until now - go there and kill what you need for the quest, be careful to avoid the named elite Mogh the Undying.
Now comes the difficult part, we have to kill a level 45 named with two level 44 guards. You can find that named - Ana'thek the Cruel - inside the cave at the end of the path going through the ruins (45,44). Ana'thek and his guards sometimes come out of the cave for a walk, but don't attack them then, you will probably get adds and die. It's safer to wait for Ana'thek to be back in the cave and attack him inside it.
Wait for your long cooldown abilities and your potion timers to be up, clear the area around the cave entrance to have some space, then charge in, kill the named fast, loot him and run away. If one of the guards is a Spiritchaser and you have no way to crowd control it - Polymorph or sap - kill it first, run away and then come back for the named. It's safer this way, because the Spiritchasers tend to heal the named and then things get ugly. I tried it with a rogue - even though I could have just used sap - to evaluate the difficulty, and it was no problem, I could easily take one down, run away and come back for the named without dying.
Once you have looted the Broken Armor of Ana'thek, make sure you don't miss anything on the kill list of [46]Speaking with Gan'Zulah (you might be missing a few hunter kills).
12. Ride northwest, back to Grom'gol.
Turn in [42]Split Bone Necklace. Click on the Bubbling Cauldron and turn in the two quests. Then click on the cauldron again and take the quest [45]The Fate of Yenniku. Speak with Kin'weelay, turn in the quest and get the follow up [45]The Singing Crystals.
Hearthstone to Booty Bay. At the inn, turn in [41]Venture Company Mining, then go to the top floor of the inn, turn in [42]Skullsplitter Tusks. Exit the inn by the top floor side-door, go turn in [38]Excelsior at the "Tan-Your-Hide Leatherworks" (you should see the yellow question mark on the minimap when you come out of the inn).
1. Restock/repair/etc. Get out of Booty Bay, go to Mistvale Valley and kill the same gorillas we killed earlier in this chapter at (32,68). Kill gorillas until one of them drops an Aged Groilla Sinew.
2. Get back on the road and ride north for a while, until you reach the Ruins of Jubuwal (33,51). Clear the camp until you can pull JonJon The Crow, he should come with an add, could be a hard fight but it's doable. Loot Jon-Jon's Golden Spyglass, then clear yourself some space around the little ruins just behind where Jon-Jon was, there stands Maury "Club-Foot" Wilkins with two Zanzil Something.
Now you probably can't take all 3 at the same time, so try to kill one of the minions fast then run away, rinse and repeat until you are left with just Maury Wilkins. Kill him and loot "Maury's Clubbed Foot".
3. Go back on the road and just a bit south until (33,53), go east through a breached wall and keep going until you hit the Ruins of Aboraz (40,57) and kill Zanzil Minions there until you find Chucky "Ten Thumbs" inside the ruins and loot "Chucky's Huge Ring" from him. Keep killing Zanzil dudes until you get 12 Zanzil's Mixtures, avoid Zanzil the Outcast himself though. If you run out of mobs to kill, go back and forth from this camp to the other. Any Zanzil Something can drop the Mixture.
4. Get back on the road and ride north and then go northeast at the crossroads of Gurubashi arena. Just after that you should pass a big gate and to the right you should see a small path going into the jungle (37,49). That's our next stop, clear the way towards the cave at the end of that path, the basilisks we need to kill are named Ironjaw Basilisks and are higher level than the ones outside. Enter the cave at (42,50) and kill Ironjaw Basilisks until you have 3 Pulsing Blue Shards. The shards are rather rare, I estimate them to drop about 30% of the time. When you're done, hearthstone back to Booty Bay.
In Booty Bay's inn, turn in [44]Zanzil's Secret. Go to the top floor of the inn and turn in [45]The Bloodsail Buccaneers. Get out of the inn and turn in [44]Voodoo Dues at Sea Wolf MacKinley, get the follow up if you are interested in the following items (optional circuit):

From Grom'gol ride straight east until you see an ogre camp/cave (Mosh Ogg Ogre Mound) at (50,28). Clear your way inside the cave until you see Mai'Zoth. Pull him his right guard first then deal with the rest. Once Mai'Zoth is dead, loot Mind's Eye from him. Clear your way out of the cave. Check if you've already looted Maury's Key from one of the ogres. If you didn't, continue killing ogres until it drops.
Ride back to Grom'Gol and fly to Booty Bay. At "Sea Wolf" McKinley turn in [44] Cracking Maury's Foot. Fly back to Grom'Gol and turn in The [46] Mind's Eye at Kin'Weelay. Take the follow up [46] Saving Yenniku.
Ride to the Ruins of Aboraz and find Yenniku at (38,57). Use the Soul Gem from your inventory on him (which will stun him) and talk to him to fill the gem up. Once done, ride back to Grom'Gol and turn the quest in at Nimboya.

General info about Tanaris, Feralas and Hinterlands:
While killing stuff in Tanaris if you find an item named OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon. Right click it and keep the quest. You'll find beacons in Feralas and Hinterlands as well, proceed equally with those. Each of those beacons start a quest where you will have to find a Homing Robot and escort it. The beacons won't always drop for you, they are kinda rare. The escort quests are hard to do solo especially for certain classes. But if you are lucky to find all 3 beacons you should really put the effort and finish all 3 rescue quests, it will be described when to do them in the guide later on. Anyway, if you don't get a distress beacon, or if you don't manage to complete the rescue quests, it's not a big deal, this is optional, it's a nifty exp bonus but it's not that important.
Sell, Repair, re-supply food/drink (3 stacks).

Complete the quest, get the follow up [41]Rizzle's Schematics and turn it in at Pozzik.
You can destroy the Sample of Indurium Ore in your bag.
Hearthstone back to Gadgetzan and fly to Camp Mojache, Feralas. You should already have this flight path if you followed the first chapter of my guide (21-31). If you don't have it, fly to Freewind Post, Thousand Needles, then follow the road west until you reach Camp Mojache.
In Camp Mojache get the quest [45] A New Cloak's Sheen from Kreug Skullsplitter near the eastern entrance to the village. Get [43]Gordunni Cobalt from Orwin Gizzmick, a goblin near the wyvern master.
Get [42]War on the Woodpaw from Hadoken Swiftstrider, [46]The Mark of Quality from Jangdor Swifstrider inside the big tent building in front of the wyvern master. [45]A Strange Request from Witch Doctor Uzer'l right outside that tent building.

Finally turn in [42]War on the Woodpaw, get the follow up [43]Alpha Strike, a quest timer will appear.
1. Ride southwest back to the gnoll camps. You have to kill 5 Woodpaw Alpha and go back to Camp Mojache before the timer runs out. A very easy task at this level. The camps with Alpha Gnolls are at the following locations: (73,57) (72,57) and (72,56). Also kill any wandering treant on sight.
2. Once you have 5 Woodpaw Alpha kills, ride back to Camp Mojache and turn in the quest [43]Alpha Strike, get the follow up [43]Woodpaw Investigation.
Sell and repair.
3. Ride north of Camp Mojache, follow the eastern bank of the river. At the end of it you should find a path going up the mountain, that's Gordunni Outpost (75,36). Start to explore the whole outpost, kill every ogre you find on your way, and look for the following two things:
- On the floor you should find blue glows scattered everywhere in the outpost. Look in your bags for Orwin's Shovel and put it on a hotkey. Whenever you find a blue glow, click the shovel over it. A Gordunni Dirt Mound should appear, loot it. Keep doing this until you find 12 Gordunni Cobalt.
- The Gordunni Scroll, which can spawn at various places in Gordunni Outpost. I mostly find it in the biggest camp with the cages and the bonfire (75,30), it looks like this:
Loot the scroll and right-click it to start the quest [43]The Gordunni Scroll.
Complete those two objectives and also kill enough ogres to complete the quest [43]The Ogres of Feralas.
4. When done with that, get out of Gordunni Outpost, cross the river and go southwest to the field with Sprite Darters (70,47). Kill them until you have 10 Iridescent Sprite Darter Wings. You can go kill stuff in the Grimtotem Camp West of the sprite darters while you wait for them to respawn, in case you need to.
5. Ride south/southeast to the same gnoll camps where you killed the alpha gnolls. Go to the western alpha camp which is at (71,57), clear it and look for the Woodpaw Battle Map on top of a wooden crate. (72,56)
Click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [43]The Battle Plans.
6. Ride back to Camp Mojache. Turn in [43]The Ogres of Feralas and get the follow up [44]The Ogres of Feralas, turn in the [43]The Gordunni Scroll and get the follow up [46]Dark Ceremony. Turn in [43]Gordunni Cobalt. Turn in [43]The Battle Plans and get the two follow ups [45]Zukk'ash Infesation and [47]Stinglasher. Turn in [45]A New Cloak's Sheen and get the follow up [45]A Grim Discovery.

7. Ride south/soutwhest to the Writhing Deep, there are two cave entrances. Go to the eastern one (75,60) and you should find Stinglasher there roaming in and out of the entrance, kill all the insects in the area until you find Stinglasher. Kill it and loot Stinglasher's Glands.
Keep on killing every insect in the area until you have 20 Zukk'Ash carapaces.
8. Ride north/northwest to the Grimtotem Village (67,46). Kill the grimtotems there until you have 20 Grimtotem Horns.
9. Get back on the main road and ride west, cross the stone bridge and shortly after to your left you should see some ogres, this area is named Ruins of Isildien (62,54). Kill ogres there until you have killed 5 Maulers and 10 Warlocks.
10. For the Ogre Shamans you will have to go much further south to the big temple at (59,73). Keep doing circles around the temple until you got 10 Shamans dead (there's also shamans inside the building, sometimes you gotta kill the placeholders for them to respawn).
Also kill Gordunni Mage-Lords until you find a Gordunni Orb on one of them, they can be found in the same area as the shamans.
11. Go northwest to the Yeti Cave (55,56). Kill Yetis, ignore the Homing Robot OOX-22/FE for now. Keep killing yetis until you get 10 Thick Yeti Hides.
When you got 10 Yeti Hides, go to the Homing Robot. (53,55)
Now, at this point you should normally have gotten a Distress Beacon with all the stuff you've killed in Feralas already. If you don't, it's not a big deal, just go to the next step. For those who did get a Distress Beacon, right click it to get the quest [45]Find OOX-22/FE! if you haven't already. Turn in the quest.
Don't take the follow up if you are solo, it's an escort quest and it's too hard for almost every class. We will come back to Feralas later on with a couple of levels more and then you'll be able to solo it, so don't worry. If you are a duo or more, read the following warnings before taking the escort quest:
1st Warning: The chicken robot is stupid and doesn't assist you all the time if you get attacked. Let him in the front so he gets the first hit. He has a decent amount of HPs and heals back to full after each fight is over. You can even eat/drink a bit after a fight and let the chicken walk in the front (not too far away though). Don't even think about looting, you don't have time. Don't let the chicken tank more than one at a time, and don't let him tank too long either.
2nd Warning: When out of the Yeti cave, the chicken will take a left turn and go towards the road, at some point 3 yetis will ambush him. Don't panic, you can let one of the yetis be tanked by the chicken at the beginning and deal with the other 2. Just check the chicken's health regularly. There will be a 2nd and a 3rd ambush, be prepared for them. Especially the last one is composed of 4 Gnolls.
12. Go west to the shore (you should already be there if you successfully did the escort quest), and look for Rogue Vale Screechers - those red flying snakes - you should find plenty of them at (46,47). Look into your bag for Yeh'kinya's Bramble and put it on a hotkey. Whenever you kill a Vale Screecher, target its corpse and right click the bramble, a screecher spirit should appear, right click it and you should get a quest update. Do this 3 times.
You should be level 47 or close by now.

Fly to Gadgetzan. Sell, repair and restock food/drink (3stacks).
Set your hearthstone to Gadgetzan.
1. In Tanaris ride to the southeast until you reach Waterspring Field (63,37).You will find numerous Wastewander camps there. Kill Wastewander Rogues (stealthers), Assassins and Shadow Mages. You can also find Caliph Scorpidsting, he wanders between the tower structures, so you should go kill from a tower structure to another until you find him. He has 2 stealthed bodyguards, it will be a hard fight, burn him down quickly and run away is my advice, use long cooldown abilities and potions if needed. Then go back and loot his head.
If you don't find Caliph it's not a problem though, it's just some bonus XP quest, nothing important.
2. Once you got [44]More Wastewander Justice completed, go east to find a tunnel entrance at (68,41). Go through this tunnel which takes you to Lost Rigger Cove.
Now you have a lot of work to do, check the kill list of [45]Southsea Shakedown and start killing Pirates!
Clear your way south toward the main camp with the 3 houses, 2 ships ashore and the boat under construction.
3. Andre Firebeard spawns at the campfire right in the center of the camp. He has 3 Dock Workers close to him but you can pull those 3 without him if you pull the back one, then you have Andre solo. Or you can burn him down fast and run away (or take on all of them :p^^). Anyway, this place is usually crowded because it is a good grinding spot, so you shouldn't have trouble getting help to kill Andre Firebeard if needed.
Then go inside the first house to the right when entering the camp. You might get pulls of 3 at a time inside the house, you will maybe have to use the "Kill one and run away" tactic to get to the top floor of the house if you can't take 3 at a time. On the top floor are crates, click them to get Stoley's Shipment.
Then keep on killing pirates until you complete Southsea Shakedown and Pirate Hats Ahoy!
Bonus: There is a rare spawn named Kregg Keelhaul on the boats ashore. Check for it.
If you find a Captain's Key off one of the pirates, the chest is at the bottom level of the ship which is the most to the east. Another thing, while killing pirates by the dozen you might find a pirate footlocker on one of them (1% chance to drop approximately). In the footlocker you might find a note named "Ship Schedule" (You might also find the Captain's Key inside the locker), right click it to start the quest [45]Ship Schedules, which you turn in in Steamwheedle Port for extra XP. However, you might be unlucky and never get a footlocker, so don't worry if you miss it, it's optional.
4. When done, get out of Rigger Cove and go north to Steamwheedle Port.
Turn in:
[45] Andre Firebeard
[45] Southsea Shakedown

They look like white upside down plates. Kill ogres in that camp until you got 30 Gahz'Ridian Ornament. If it's too crowded, there is another camp similar to this one further to the southwest named "Southmoon Ruin" (41,72). When you got 30 Gahz'Ridian ornaments you should also be done with [49]The Dunemaul Compound. If not, kill some more ogres!
6. Optional: If you went to Uldaman and did the quest [47]The Platinum Discs, go southwest to Uldum (38,79). The Dune Smashers have a small aggro range, you can hug the left wall and reach the Stone Watcher of Norgannon, just be careful of the one roamer. The Stone Watcher of Norgannon is at (37,81). Click the Uldum Pedestal under him and get the follow up, then talk to the Stone Watcher of Norgannon who just appeared on the pedestal. Go through his dialogue and you will complete the follow up. Then click the Uldum pedestal again, complete the quest and get the follow up [50]Return to Thunder Bluff. Now wasn't that the easiest 9400xp ever?
7. Go west (northwest if you went to Uldaman) to Thistleshrub Valley (28,67). Kill Gnarled Thistleshrubs and Thistleshrub Rootshapers until you get 8 kills of each. Also kill Thistleshrub Dew Collectors until a Laden Dew Gland drops (rare drop).

3. Once you are up, go north towards Shaol'watha (73,54).
** Kill any silvermane stalker - they are stealthed - and silvermane howler you find on your way from now on. To find the stalkers easily, I suggest to turn the sound on, you should hear the stealth sound effect everytime a wolf is nearby, then use the tab key while looking around to find it. **
At Shaol'watha, look around in the ruins to find Slagtree's Lost Tools. They look like this
They can spawn at various locations though, so if you don't find them, move on, we'll find them in the other camps.
4. Kill all the trolls you find in and around the wooden bunker just slightly north of Shaol'watha.
There's another bunker just northwest of this one, go there and clear it.
5. Southwest of that bunker is a forest area (60,50) with 3 types of monsters we need to kill:
- Savage Owlbeasts

Kill everything in a wide radius in that area. If you run out of things to kill, move on to the next step, we'll come back later to that "forest area".
6. Go north to Skulk Rock (58,43). Clear the slimes and go to the top of this mound, look amongst the ruins for Slagtree's Lost Tools. Don't worry if it's not there, we'll check the other areas.

8. Go west to Agol'watha (46,40), clear the Oozes and look for Horde Supply Crates.
Keep doing this until you have 10 Hinterlands Honey Ripples. One of the crates can sometimes be found outside ot the ruins by the lake.
Also look for Slagtree's Lost Tools if you don't have them already. They should be by one of the abandoned huts. If you don't find them here it means you must have missed them, so you will have to check the other camps - Shaol'watha and Skulk Rock - again when you get close to them later on.
You should be level 49 or close by now.
Level 49
9. Go west to Quel'danil lodge (34,48), make sure you kill any Silvermane Howler that crosses your path.
Don't enter the lodge yet, go behind it to the western corner of it. Kill every Highvale on your way. Next to a well you should find the Highvale Notes (30,49).
Right-click them once to burn them.
North of the well, under a gazebo structure you should find the Highvale Report (29,46), burn it.
Now go to the lodge, enter by the main gate. Clear the way to the end of the eastern wing, and you should find the Highvale Records on the floor next to some barrels (32,47). Burn them.
Inside the lodge you should also find a caged troll with a quest, Rin'ji. Before you take his quest - which is an escort quest - clear as much as possible and as fast as possible in front of the lodge. Get full HP/Mana, make sure your long cooldowns are up, then start the quest.
Note: Rin'ji doesn't tank too bad and you can heal him.
After Rin'ji passes the arch right outside the lodge, he'll get ambushed by 3 elves. This shouldn't be a problem if you cleared the area before starting the quest. Let Rin'ji tank one of the 3 elves and take out the 2 others fast.
Then comes the harder part, Rin'ji will go through the woods and at some point 3 other elves will attack him, however this time you'll most likely have one or two adds, an owlbeast or a wolf.
This is when you use all your cooldowns. Let Rin'ji tank one and kill the rest as fast as you can.
After that, Rin'ji will walk to the road and you should get a quest complete message.
Go back to Quel'danil Lodge and kill all the elves you still need to complete [48]Message to the Wildhammer.
10. Go turn in the quest [48]A Sticky Situation at Shindigger's camp (27,48), the only way to get there is through that path you took earlier, east of Aerie Peak. Get the follow up [48]Ripple Delivery.
11. Ride southeast to Valorwind Lake (40,61). Dive down and look for a mushroom named "Violet Tragan". Righ-click it and loot it. Warning: Don't eat the violet tragan, let it in your bag.
12. Go southeast to the Altar of Zul (48,67), kill every troll in the area, but avoid the top of the Altar, there are 2 level 50 mobs you might not be able to handle. Stay in this area until you have 10 Vilebranch Soothsayer kills (we'll get the Scalper kills elsewhere).
13. Go northeast, kill any Silvermane Howler on your way, you should find plenty in this area. So stick around and kill stuff in this area till you have 10 silvermane howler kills.
14. Go further northeast to the "forest area". Kill any Savage Owlbeasts, Silvermane Stalkers and Razorbeak Skylord you find.
15. When the "forest area" is clear, go northeast to the troll bunkers of Shaol'watha (65,45), it does NOT matter at this point if you still miss some Savage Owlbeasts / Silvermane Stalkers kills or if you still lack the Skylord Plume from Razorbeak Skylords. We will kill more when we come back to the "forest area" again.
Clear both bunkers, you should be done or almost done with the 15 Vilebranch Scalper kills. If you're not done just go back and forth to the "forest area" and the bunkers until you got 15 scalper kills.
At this point, you should be done with all the Hinterlands quest besides (maybe)[48]Hunt the Savages, (maybe) [48]Stalker the Stalkers and [49]Lard Lost his Lunch. We will finish those three in the next circuit.
16. Ride to the Waterfall (80,48) and jump down into the water.
17. Swim northeast to an island with a few trees on it (84,41). Somewhere on the island you should find Lard's Picnic Basket.
When you click the basket, 3 level 49 trolls will spawn. You don't have to kill all 3, just one is enough, they can all drop Lard's Lunch. It's actually quite easy to get one solo. You just have to run away until 2 of them give up and then kill the 3rd. Levitate or water walking makes this easier of course, but its not necessary. Here is a short video of how I did it:
18. Swim south back to the main land, after a little walk you should see another isle off shore, with a stone arch on top of it. Swim to that island (86,59). On top of that island you should find a big tablet labelled "Rin'ji'S Secret", righ-click it, turn in the quest and get the follow up [47]Rin'ji's Secret.
19. Swim back to the shore and ride to Revantusk Village.
Turn in all the quests and get all other quests available beside [48p] Another Message to the Wildhammer.
Sell, repair and restock consumables (3 stacks).
You should be level 50 by now or close (If you turned in the Silvermane Stalkers and the Owlbeast quest). If you are, fly to Undercity and zeppelin to Orgrimmar to train if you wish, then come back.
Ride back up and go to the forest area again, kill the last remaining Silvermane Stalkers and Savage Owlbeasts you need.
At this point, you should have the OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon unless you are really unlucky - like I was on the rogue - so what you can do is grind for a while on the elves at the Quel'danil Lodge or on the trolls at the Alter of Zul, or anywhere you like in the Hinterlands. Any monster in the zone can drop the beacon, but it's a 1% chance. So if you really don't feel like grinding, don't bother and move on to the next part of the guide. However, keep in mind that if you finish the 3 distress beacon quests (Tanaris, Feralas and Hinterlands), a huge xp reward awaits you at the end.
If you got the Distress Beacon OOX-22/HL, go to the lake northwest of Skulk Rock and find the Homing robot there (49,37). Turn in the quest. Before you accept the rescue quest, here is what you must know:
1. This quest, unlike the Feralas one, is more likely to be done solo. It's still not a walk in the park of course. So if you got a partner to duo it, all the better for you.
2. Let the chicken run in front of you, let it get the first hit. If it's not getting hit, it won't fight back. Sometimes mobs are actually chasing the chicken and failing to get a hit on it, so they give up.
3. You'll have to face 2 ambushes of 3 mobs each, make sure you are full health/mana and with long cooldown abilities up when you start the escort. When the 3 ambushers attack, stand back until the chicken gets hit. Then let the chicken tank one of the 3 adds, deal with the 2 others as quick as you can, then help the chicken finish off the 3rd add.
One you have successfully escorted the robot chicken, go back to Revantusk Village. Turn in [48]Hunt the Savages and [48]Stalking the Stalkers.
This should make you ding level 50 if you weren't level 50 already before.
Level 50
Repair and get ready for a semi-long circuit.
Mount up and ride to Jintha'Alor (66,64), using the passageway from before. Start killing everything on the way and clearing to the top of the temple. There is nothing you need on the first two floors, so skip as much as possible. On the third floor you'll start to find the trolls you need for [51] Job Opening: Guard Captain of Revantusk Village (Vilebranch Berserkers), so kill as many as you can find while also searching for shimmering kettles called "Vessel of Dark Blood" (Next to the Vilebranch Shadowcasters). Loot them and kill 10 Berserkers in total (so you don't have to come back later). On the third floor you'll find Vilebranch Shadowhunters, kill five of them and search for more vessels. Go up to the fourth floor and kill 5 Vilebranch Blood Drinkers (you should also be able to find some souleaters). On the left side of the stairs, you should see a pit with oozes. Fight your way through to the heart of the pit where you should see a pile of bones. Loot the pile.
Go further to the next stairs (you should be able to find a few more Blood Drinkers and Vessels). Go up to the next floor and go right (while getting the rest of the Blood Drinkers / Soul Eaters / Vessels you need) until you see an altar with a troll lying on it.
Don't go down into the pit yet but go around it until you see a stone gate with a path leading to the other pair of stairs and a cave. Follow that way until the very end where you should see an area shielded by stone walls (there should be two more of those on your way). You should see wolves in there. Kill them and loot the pile of bones inside.
Go back to the big stone pit with the quest npc. Clear your way into the pit and check next to the altar, there should be Vile Pristress Hexx (If she isn't there, she roamed into the cave but she'll come back). Single pull and clear as many trolls in that altar area as possible. When you are full mana pull the pristress. Kill her then turn in your quest at Elder Torntusk and get the follow up [51] Recover the Key!.
Now comes a rather difficult part, if you are confident that you can handle 3 mobs alone you can proceed solo, if you think you'd have difficulties, try to group up with someone. Go inside the tunnel behind the altar and fight your way through to the southernmost tip of the tunnel structure. There you should see Hitah'Ya the Keeper patrolling with two guards. Get full mana/hp. The trick here is to use crowd control (if you have, like ice trap, sheep, sap) and at the same time burn down Hitah'Ya as fast as possible (she has very little HP). Also pop your cooldown skills to burn down one of the guards as fast as possible. Once that is done you just need to deal with the other guard. Loot Hitah'Yah and go back to the altar.
Turn in [51] Recover the Key! at Elder Torntusk and get the follow up. Now get killed by a mob, release your spirit and take the spirit raise. Go back to Raventusk Village.
Turn in all your quests (grats on the extremely fat loot).
Fly to the Undercity, go to the Magic Quarter and turn in the 2 following quests at Oran Snakewrithe:
[47]Lines of Communication
[47]Rin'ji's Secret
Another quest will be up, you can turn that one in right away too.
Hearthstone to Gadgetzan.
Turn in [49]Sprinkle's Secret Ingredient, get the follow up [49]Delivery for Marin. Turn it in at Marin Noggenfogger on the other side of the town. Take his follow up, wait 5 seconds and turn it in. Now you'll be able to buy Noggenfogger Elixir from Marin as much as you want.
(Kudos to the original artist, whose name I don't know unfortunately)
Sell, repair, buy 3 stacks of food/drink.
Go south to the Gaping Chasm (56,61), clear yourself a path through the insects southwards until you find the entrance spiralling down at (55,70). Take the 2nd tunnel you see when going down the spiral, the one going north (55,69). Inside the tunnel at the first fork go right. Then go through the circular room. After the circular room at the first fork go right. You will enter a big square room. The Scrimshank's Surveying Gear (55,71) is at the western corner of the square room.
Loot it and then go back the way you came from, then go north until you are out of the Gaping Chasm.
If you don't have the Tanaris Distress Beacon, go back to Gadgetzan.
If you do have the Distress Beacon for Tanaris:
Go east and inside the mountain at (60,64). You will find the Homing Robot OOX-17/TN there. Turn in the quest. Get full health/mana, refresh buffs. Check if your long cooldown abilities are up. For some classes this will be hard to solo, so if you don't manage it better find someone to duo it with. If you don't manage that, just abandon the escort quest, it's optional anyway.
Things to know about this escort quest:
1. Let the chicken in front, let him get hit first. Sometimes mobs will aggro him but not manage to hit him while he walks and they will just give up.
2. The first part of the escort is the hardest as you will run into lvl 46-47 mobs. And at some point you will get an ambush of 3 level 46 scorpions. Use your long cooldown abilities there. After this, it gets easier.
3. Later on you will get a 2nd ambush, 3 humanoids lvl 42 (green). One will be a shadow mage though, kill it first.
Ride back to Gadgetzan, talk to Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser and get the follow up [48]Insect Part Analysis.
Go talk to Alchemist Pestlezugg, get the follow up and get back to Surveyor Fizzledowser. Turn in the quest and get the follow up [49]Rise of the Slithid.
You should be level 51 by now.

Your point, while a valid and useful one, could be made in a much more civil tone. Understand that these guides are free. As in, we are NOT paid to make them. In addition, do you really think it worth our time to update these guides as they currently are when Cataclysm will absolutely destroy them?

I agree that it will be a waste of time updating the guides with the quest flow being cataclysmicly different soon enough.
I usually do this: quest normally. Then abandon half of the quests that aren't mandatory when they are green. Abandon all quests who are gray. Keep on leveling. It works wonders. I don't do any optional quests unless I for some reason will benefit from the rewards. I only abandon quests when I'm at least 4 levels ahead.

Just for info : "Testing the Vessel" has been changed in 3.2, you no longer need to kill Owlbeasts in Hinterlands, you just have to kill wolves and bears east of Camp Mojache.
Also, the Feralas escort quest Homing Robot OOX-22/FE was changed : you just have to escort the robot to the main road. Screechers are no longer on the beach, they are east of Grimtotem Village, if i'm correct.
Finally, for the quest "A Strange Request" given by Witch Doctor Uzer'i, you no longer need to go to Orgrimmar. A new NPC, Xerash Fireblade, is waiting for you, east of Camp Mojache, in Lariss Pavillion.

Submitted by peasedmp on Fri, 2009-08-07 07:11.
Jame has labored to make this guide the best there is! Now Blizzard is revamping the quest lines! (Sigh..)The quests have been changed so "Testing the Vessel" no longer requires a trip to The Hinterland, so you can finish this chain much sooner. The chicken robot escorts have all been shortened to a short walk, 3 mob ambush, then the chicken rockets home...much quicker! In the quest "A Strange Request", you know longer have to go to Org, but instead talk to Neeru's brother at the temple just SE of the Gordunni Outpost, which you can do on the way there. I'm sure more changes are bound to sneak up on us!

3.2 changes
Submitted by daboidie on Wed, 2009-08-05 04:19.
Just a couple of changes I've noticed to quests in this portion of the guide for the 3.2 patch. 1) The wandering forest walkers no longer wander. A bunch can now be found hanging around fixed spawn points just north of Camp Mojache. 2) There is no longer a quest to get wildkin muisek. "Testing the Vessel" now requires you to kill 10 ironfur bears or longtooth runners and get muisek from them. Again, these can be found wandering just north of Camp Mojache. Followup is still the quest for hippogryph muisek.

Long time user of the guide, first time poster.
On the quest Study of the Elements:Rock in The Badlands there is a small valley to the west of the Flight Plan (14,36)or thereabouts which has the Rock Elemental s required to complete the quest and it is right above the quest giver.

It sort of depends on what zones you have and haven't done. Starting a little below your level is a good idea, since you may encounter quests you've already completed or quests you don't have access to as you go. So, yeah, I think it's as good a spot as any!

Nothing major wrong but on the part:
3. Ride southeast to the Pool of Tears (65,45), swim down in the pool and look for Atal'ai Artifacts, gather 10 of them. A full turn around the pool should be enough.
The quest "Pool of Tears" only seems to need 5 now.
Just thought it was worth mentioning.

at lvl 43 step 7 you wrote "Army of the Black" and it should be "Army of the Black Dragon" Also I think it would be handy once in a while to say which quests we should have every now and again. Just because sometimes i get the feeling that i have some extra quests that i accidentally picked up and I am missed some by accident as well. I'm sure it is not only me as well so yeah, it would be handy. Anyway great guide I'm lvling up really quick, keep up the great work.

Leveling is the real part of game!.
In the guide you say that people should go to Zul'farrak at 44.
At lvl 41 I went to ZF 2 times. I got 1,5 level ahead of the guide. When I was done with this guide I was lvl 52 instead of 51 . Been a level ahead almost all the time. That way, it's impossible to get behind guide.

It's actually a good idea to pick up the follow-up as well, since Jame sends you all around SoS anyways, it's not a problem to get the required drops (especially worthwhile if you have [36]Dream Dust in the Swamp from Booty Bay as well). It's 2-3 minutes run through Deadwind Pass to turn in (for 5-6k-ish xp, then back to Stonard for another bit of xp, after which you can continue the guide and fly back to whereever .
some possible improvements

hey jame,
first of all thank you for that impressive guide. i speed up my leveling alot and it makes a lot more fun instead of killing the same type of mob three times for three different quests...
right now i am at lvl 62 and i will post some possible improvements for your quest circuits.
so here two quests, which i did additionally...
1) level 44, swamp of sorrows
after killing the sawtooth snappers, i walked south on the shore and killed some of the crawlers. after picking up the murloc quest and killing them, i was also looking for crawlers. the droprate of the legs is not too bad and u already have to kill mobs in that area. note: in the south of the shore are mobs, who look like crawlers, but have a lower level and wont drop the legs.
2) the hinterlands
i also took that quest in booty bay. we have to ride along the shore multiple times and we are getting back to booty bay for the rescue quests at least. so in my opinion a small xp boost at some point.
look for some other notes of me on the next guide...
regarding [43]The Pool of Tears

The quest now only takes 5 Atal'ai Artifacts instead of 10. Your guide still says 10 though.

I also just did this quest and found the same thing.

Hey, so it is. That must be really recent, since I did it just a couple weeks ago and it was 10.

Horror films
While Hollywood grinded out its usual array of horrible hackneyed horror movies, we avoided them and instead attended the 13th Annual Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival.
I enjoyed judging a number of the short films and was pleased that one of my favorites, "Foxes", was selected and shown at the Bell Street Chapel last weekend, along with five other "Freaky Shorts of Horror." The best thing about a short film program is if you don't like one, another will be along in 15-20 minutes.
Congratulations to George Martin, his staff and volunteers for another successful festival. Put it on your schedule for next Halloween. It's a lot more fun than the run of the mill stuff that comes to the multiplexes.
If I never see another "Paranormal Activity," "Resident Evil," "Silent Hill" or "Sinister" I'll really have something to scream about.

Impact's Valentin loaned to Norway
Montreal, QC – The Montreal Impact have loaned defender Zarek Valentin to Norwegian second-division club FK Bodo/Glimt, the club announced on Wednesday.
"Before any decision, we wanted to make sure that he was ready for this type of experience," said Impact sporting director Nick De Santis. "We feel that it can be beneficial for both parties. Zarek will continue to grow as a player in a different environment, in a different culture and will practice soccer in a different way. It will be valuable for the club as well as he should get a lot of minutes and experience."
Valentin, 21, appeared in 15 games for Montreal in 2012, but has yet to see the field this season.
Montreal currently sits on top of the Eastern Conference with 12 points from five matches and has a bye this week after suffering their its first loss of the season last time out, a 2-0 setback to Sporting Kansas City.

South Dakota State's John Stiegelmeier on Nebraska Loss, North Dakota State Match-up
They say if you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best.
That's exactly the challenge facing South Dakota State Saturday in Brookings, as they open up Missouri Valley Conference play by welcoming the two-time defending FCS Champions, North Dakota State.
The Jackrabbits are fresh off a resounding 59-20 loss at Nebraska last Saturday. It was a game that featured a lot of offense from SDSU in the first quarter, as the Jacks used Zach Zenner (who finished with 202 yards rushing) to help score 17 points in the first 15 minutes, and lead the Cornhuskers by three after one.
Head Cocah John Stiegelmeier told me that end-to-end action from both teams left him with mixed emotions in Lincoln:
Even though the Jacks maintained their #6 national ranking despite the loss, Stiegelmeier and his staff must rebuild the confidence of this team in time to face the Bison Saturday:
North Dakota State beat SDSU twice last season, by just three points during the regular season, and by 25 in the second round of the FCS Playoffs.
Game one it was nine penalties, some crucial, that did the Jacks in. Game two it was a three touchdown explosion in the second quarter by NDSU, coupled with a lack of a running game for SDSU:
After limiting Zenner's production in both meetings last season, NDSU Head Coach Craig Bohl says that's at the top of the Bison's 'To Do' list this weekend:
There is a healthy amount of respect between these two programs, but when North Dakota State was treated to a visit by ESPN College Gameday before last weekend's win over Delaware State, some viewed it as nice publicity for the Missouri Valley Conference, Stiegelmeier is not jumping on that bandwagon:
Kickoff at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium is 2:00pm Saturday.

Denny Dillon has lived an improvised life.
Whether growing up in Cleveland, only to be thrust into high school in the Philippines, or riffing with John Travolta, which landed her a memorable part in"Saturday Night Fever," or finding herself in an out-of-town bomb that transformed into a hit Broadway musical, the actress has found that her career — as well as her life — has been one long improv where you take whatever you're faced with and say "yes" to the moment.
Dillon is currently exercising her comic chops as the all-knowing maid in the '60s sex farce "Boeing- Boeing," now in previews and opening Wednesday at Hartford Stage.

Getting(hacking) Wavetick on Windows environment
In this post I will cover what you will need to do to utilize <a href jne> Wavetick on Windows.
The configuration is a bit tricky since currently Wavetick is Mac-only.
This is what you will need:
1) a mac running wavetick, to analyze music and transmit it over networking.
2) a Windows machine where you will install Bonjour drivers and rtpMIDI to connect to the MIDI network.
For best performance, use a wired network connection. Wifi is okayish too if the reception is fine.
We cover the Windows setup first:
1) Install bonjour
2) Install rtpMIDI and run it.
3) Create a session (pic)
You're set!
On the MAC, I assume you have Wavetick installed and sending data to the internal IAC bus. If you need help with this, look <linkki WAVETICK101> here.
What's left for us to do is to forward Wavetick data over the Network.
1) Pop open the <pic hoverilla?> Audio Midi Settings.
2) Window -> Show MIDI window.
3) Under directory, you should see the Windows machine's name select it and click connect.
4) From Live routings, select IAC bus to be routed to the network. <pic>
If everything went fine, you should be receiving Wavetick within Windows.
You can join as many Windows and Mac machines to the network as you want! This is quite powerful for collaborations. The machine closest to the stage can do the music analysis and everyone gets the <link> BBT.

I want to make light wind TT and i will put small amount of rocker, wide, quite square shape and overall keep it simple. I have some questions for you guys.
1) I was planing to use very thin veneer and clue them together to get wanted rocker. Thicknesses i have available are 1,5 mm and 2,8 mm. Would 3*2,8mm(=8,4) be enough to last? Is it better to have more layers (by using thinner material)?
2) Should all layers be placed so that wood fibre's are running to same direction. Or should some layers be in 90 degree angle?
