Revision of Boston's 20-30 Alliance Leveling Guide from Sat, 2008-02-02 03:44
Alliance Leveling Guide 20-30
This is a detailed, in depth guide on leveling an Alliance character from level 20 to level 30. It is focused on questing rather than grinding, though some parts you may be asked to grind. This guide will lead into Jame's Alliance Leveling Guides and those will bring you all the way to level 70.
Useful Addons
- Titan Panel: Great mod that allows you to keep track of your inventory, money, and experience easily. It also shows (X,Y) coordinates that are frequently used in this guide.
- Cartographer: Awesome map mod that has a lot of cool features, particularly, a fully explored world map that is very helpful for everyone, especially beginners.
- Quest Level: Simple mod that shows the level of a quest in your quest log.
In case you don't know how to install add-ons, make a folder called Interface in your World of Warcraft directory (if it doesn't exist already). Then you open it and create a folder called Addons inside the Interface folder (if it doesn't exist already). Now every Addon you want to install goes directly into the Addon folder. For example you download and unzip Titan Panel, you drag the folder called TITAN PANEL (not Interface or Addons) into the new Addon folder you created. You restart World of Warcraft completely and it should be working.
If it isn't you might need to log out to your login screen and click on "Addons" in the left lower corner. Tick the box that says "Load out of date Addons". Relaunch WoW.
Basic Rules
- 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. The exception to this is paladins, they level greatly with a prot spec).
- Don't waste your time trying to find groups for questing. You can solo everything that is described in this guide unless I say otherwise. 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 map to show him the way to where your quest is, that is a waste of time)
- Always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break. This gives you rested experience which makes it twice as easy to level.
- Don't take a quest that I do not list in the guide. 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.
- Always pay attention where I tell you to set your Hearthstone and don't change it unless I say so. When I say you should bind somewhere (make an inn your home location), it's for a good reason, and it will save you much time.

- Purple: Names of NPC's
- Red: Names of Mobs
- Teal: Areas (towns, cities, etc.)
- Blue: Quests
- Orange: Items

The Guide
I. Level 20a
First you'll need to get to the city of Stormwind. If you don't have the flight path here get it. Do what you need to here (train, sell, etc.) and leave the town through the south gate when you're ready. Follow the road until you get to Goldshire. Once here, head down the eastern road. Keep going until you come to a tower on the left side of the road (64,68). Go inside and get the quest [21] A Watchful Eye from Theocritus at the top. Head back to the road and continue east until you come to Redridge Mountains.
Keep going and you'll come to the town Lakeshire. Get the flight path in front of the bridge. Cross the bridge and get the quest [18] The Price of Shoes from Verner Osgood.

3. Head back to the road and follow it northeast to Render's Camp at (44,18). Since we can't go further into the camp because of the higher levels, we're going to do a triangle between three spots until we finish [18] Underbelly Scales and [21] Blackrock Menace. Once you killed all the orcs here, head south to (42,32) and kill Black Dragon Whelps around this area. Once you killed them all, head southwest to (39,40) and kill the Blackrock Orcs here. Head between the three coordinates, (44,18), (42,32), and (39,40), until you finish your 2 quests.

From now on kill Mottled Scytheclaws and Mottled Razormaws along the way as you finish this quest. You'll see these things on the ground that are either jars, loose soil, or small tomb-like structures. These are hard to map as they spawn all over the place so just look for them while finishing your other quest.
Once you finish [27] Ormer's Revenge (it's okay if you didn't finish [28] Uncovering the Past, we're coming right back to the site), head back to the camp and turn in your quest. Get the follow-up and head to the western side of this small valley. At about (31,38) you'll see a path leading up into the mountains. Follow this up and around until you get to the top ledge. Here you'll see Sarltooth. He's level 29 but a pretty easy kill. If you don't think you can kill him, leave him for now and come back later. The reason we came up here anyway is to see if there is another fragment we can get. If you killed him, get his claw. Finish [28] Uncovering the Past and return to the camp. Turn in your 1 (or 2) quest(s).
From now on kill any Giant Wetlands Crocolisk and Fen Creeper you encounter
2. Leave this area and head east until you see some Dragonmaw Orcs on your right. Make your way into Angerfang Encampment at (43,43) and kill the orcs here until you complete [26] War Banners.

Around this house (typically to around the northern side) you'll find Giant Wetlands Crocolisks and Fen Creepers. Make wide semi-circles around the northern side of the house until you finish [26] Apprentice's Duties and [26] Blisters on The Land (the Fen Creepers are invisible and roam only in the water so you'll have to look for them).
4. Head southeast to Rethiel the Greenwarden at (56,40). Turn in your quest to him.

Head to the trade district from the old town but don't enter the actual district. After crossing the bridge to the trade district, make a left here and head to the end of the wall of the trade district. Here you'll find the shop Fragrant Flowers (64,60). Head inside and buy Stormwind Seasoning Herbs from Felicia Gum. Now go to the Mage's Quarter and turn in your quest to Collin Mauren. Once that's done, fly to Lakeshire.

XVIII. Level 26a
1. Head northeast along the main road into the mountains. Take the left path once the road falls apart to get to Render's Camp (35,9). Kill any Blackrock Champion you see as you make your way to the back where you'll find a cave. Enter and go down the left side and make your way to the bottom. Here you'll find Corporal Keeshan (28,12). He is an escort quest where you'll have to follow him and protect him while he gets out of the cave. So kill the rest of the Blackrock Champions you need for the quest then take his quest and start following him. The mobs here are close together so always try to make the pull your self. Once outside the cave, he'll stop to rest. At this point you need to pull the camps. So start with the one on your right and make the best pull, then repeat with the left. Otherwise, he'll just charge in and aggro everything. From there he'll go straight to Lakeshire. Sell and repair while you're here.
Start trying to find a group to do [25] Tharil'zun and [26] Wanted: Gath'llzogg. If you do, skip to step 5. After you're done, come back to finish the other steps. If you don't find a group, do the steps in order until number 5. At number 5, finish the quest [23] Shadow Magic and skip the killing of the two other guys. The missing exp. won't kill you and you'll be able to make it up.
2. Get back on the main road and head northeast. This time, when you get to the fork, head east. Keep going until you come to some gnoll camps. Kill any of them you see as you make your way to Lieutenant Fangore (80,38). Kill him and loot his paw.
3. Head south until you see a lion statue next to the mountain (84,46). Turn in your quest to it and get the follow-up.
4. Continue to kill gnolls and head west. You'll soon come to some orcs along the road. You need to go to the tower on the right side (63,50). Make your way to the top of the tower, being careful not to get extras. At the top, turn in your quest to the jar on top of a barrel.
5. Head out of the tower and go down the left road this time. This will bring you to a keep (67,55). Kill the orcs out front and gather the Midnight Orbs from the Blackrock Shadowcasters. Once the front is clear, make a sharp left at the wall toward the back and clear the orcs here. In this area you'll find Tharil'zun along with 3 or 4 other mobs. Kill him and loot his head. Back out of this area toward the keep and head inside. At the top you'll find Gath'llzogg along with 2 other mobs and another elite. Kill him and loot his head. If you haven't finished [23] Shadow Magic, do so before you leave.
If you haven't finished [23] Solomon's Law do so now by killing the gnolls. Step 6 and 7 are a little hard and are optional.
6. Return to the lion statue and get the quest [26] Morganth from it.

Fiora Longears
Submitted by Malorajan on Mon, 2010-04-19 21:05.
The quest says that you should be able to take a ship from Menethil to reach Fiora. This is incorrect. As of patch 3.0.3 (Wrath of the Lich King) the ship that used to go to Auberdine has been removed. In order to get to Auberdine, you need to take a ship from Stormwind Harbor (also added 3.0.3). This is a known issue with the quest text. It is unknown when Blizzard will clarify the text.
As of patch 3.3, Red Jack Flint is unresponsive. A Game Master stated that the quest had been removed.

The guide is working pretty well although it needs to be updated for the boat paths. I know at the top of the page it says that it's been updated but it still has me going to the wetlands in order to go to auberdine. Other than that it's a good guide.

Submitted by clint0602 on Wed, 2009-09-16 02:43.
At the end of 29a, you have it so you fly to stormwind, take the boat to auberdine, and then fly to astrannar. Wouldn't it be faster to take the boat in the wetlands to Thereamore, get the flight path there, and then fly to astrannar? Also, you get an extra flight point that you dont have to take time getting to if you level there.
Blackrock Orc's
Submitted by CJ on Tue, 2009-08-25 14:50.
The Blackrock Orc's give me grief every time I go near them and have a hell of a time to kill them off. Maybe the suggestion of "YOU NEED A FRIEND" might help as at the early stages of Redridge they simply kick serious butt and truely make you want to go else where. Ther are a few other low level quest that seem to be a little overwhelming as well that could have the same mention
Should be said that in
Submitted by Weissheit on Fri, 2009-08-14 20:35.
Should be said that in section Level 27b, the quest Seasoned Wolf Kabobs has a requirement of lvl 50 cooking to be available. So far so good though, thanks for the guide.

Culling the threat
Submitted by bodecca on Wed, 2009-08-05 00:45.
Just adding corrections as I find them in case you can update Maw.
At Level 23c Boston forgets to tell us to pick up Culling the Threat - was annoying to get all the way to Bloodclaw only to realise quest was sitting in Astranaar without me!
Edit same for Raene's Cleansing - also needs to be picked up before leaving town

Love These Guides!!
If the quests start turning
Submitted by Jiyambi on Mon, 2009-07-13 05:21.
If the quests start turning gray on you, skip ahead. If you get bored or don't like an area, skip ahead. Otherwise, don't - doing lower level quests isn't bad, you finish them quicker so it makes up for any less XP you get from the monsters.
Great Update

Hey Maw, just like to say a great update you did to this guide, it is so much more clearer now!
Maybe if you had time, have a go at the 12-20 one? That would be awesome !
Great guide aswell, just a few typos here and there. Otherwise, I have used it 4 times and still plan to use it again!
just a couple small things :)
Submitted by ferafaces on Thu, 2009-06-04 06:41.
1. If you're going to tell us to go to an area (take going to Forest Song in 24b), tell us to take both delivery quests, especially if it's just a delivery quest.
2. When you tell us not to take the follow-ups, but tell us to do the quests later, make sure to tell us we need to take the quests you previously told us not to take. Noticed a lot of that during the lvl 24ish area.
Otherwise, amazing guide.

you say theres only 2 things by him but thats not true all the time i went there and there were 2 more but then 1 left and there were 3 i killed him but then i got aggroed cus i had to get another one so i just looted his paw real fast and got it so before you kill him kill EVERYONE around yowler expect his 2 people if you can without aggroging him then yeah... if you can stick it in the guide then thatd be great!
That poor dying girl...
Submitted by Jiruru on Thu, 2009-05-07 10:17.
Whatever happened to the quests in Ashenvale to help the sick Night Elf girl? The Ruins of Stardust and Fallen Sky Lake, that is. Both those quests are quite short and could easily be done in the last Ashenvale section (TRoS is right beside Astranaar, and FSL is very close to point "3" on the last Ashenvale map). All it'd really take is one short flight back to Astranaar after the return to Forest Song.
Worgen in the Woods
Submitted by Timmeh on Mon, 2009-05-18 07:07.
First I'd like to say thanks for making this great guide, and not only making it, but making it for free.
But I had one thing to say about the quest, Worgen in the Woods I was two levels ahead of the guide when I went to go complete this quest and I found the mobbing of the Nightbanes absolutely horrible. Even two levels above the recommended guide level also having the benefit of my tenacity pet, I died three times trying to complete this quest (I don't know whether this was just me or not, I might just suck ) but I'd attack one lone Nightbane thinking I'd be fine, only to have 3 others rushing from the side or from quite far away, then halfway through fighting four of them another two attacking from behind. Since you say the guide is a bit heavy on the exp side and might be able to drop a few quests, you might make this one of them or make a note about trying to avoid the mobs (although all my attempts seemed futile, since they'd rush in no matter how far away they were.) Anyway it's not an extremely hard quest to complete even if you die a few times, but it just gets a bit frustrating wondering why a nightbane halfway across the map inside a house facing the other way seems to decide it's a good time to come attack me whenever I attack a nightbane on it's own.
Anyway thanks for the guide.

Another Great Addition to the WoW-Pro Guides
Submitted by Necter on Mon, 2009-03-02 02:19.
I've been using Jame's guides for years so, needless to say, my standards are high
For those of you who are used to Jame's "style," you will feel right at home here - Boston does a great job of creating a very smooth transition from his guide into Jame's; using the same formatting scheme.
This guide does an excellent job of introducing you to the expansive world of WoW. Actually, not since the opening month of WoW have I gone so deep into some of those quest chains as Boston guides you, which makes for a very "fulfilling" 20-30 run. Only possible downside is you really (really..) cover some ground in this guide, involving a lot of running around every few levels (more so than Jame's). Although I got the feeling that with the increased questing XP rewards with recent patches that the extra leg-work was worth it (plus you gather a great deal of the flightpaths that Jame requires, saving time in the long run).
All in all, this guide is excellent - takes you through nearly all the relevant quests for this level range in the detail and efficiency that you've come to expect from WoW-Pro and Jame's guides. Was able to do 20-30 in 2 days following this guide (albeit I was playing a twinked char w/ heirloom shoulders/dagger/bow )

It doesn't matter if it's better or not, this guide covers different levels than my guide, so you'll have to do both guides anyway
I've been using these guides
Submitted by qillerdaemon on Mon, 2008-12-22 23:49.
I've been using these guides for some time, they are just simply the best you can get at any price. That they're free is sweet icing on WoW's cake! I'm finally playing my first Alliance toon after playing Horde for so long, and this and your 12-20 guide just plain rock!
There are a few comments and possible corrections you might consider, though:
1) At 22a step1, is this a revision mistake? There is at this point no quest to turn in to Blind Mary, that won't happen until 27a, step 1. Unless you meant for us to get the Ghost Hair thread from Madame Eva and complete it then, but the step is unclear about which quest we're supposed to give Blind Mary.
2) To make "Retrieval for Mauren" more bearable, while at Atranaar, get the quest "Journey to Stonetalon Peak" from Faldreas. After going thru Talondeep Path and visiting Ziz, and then Kaela then Gaxim (I skipped taking their quests since on a PvP server, Horde players will be thick in the area killing Venture Co guys, and along with all the spiders, it's all too much trouble), get to the Pridewings and finish that quest. Then keep heading north on the road till you get to Stonetalon Peak, an Alliance camp with a flight path. Turn in the quest to Keeper Albagorm (a Cenarius looking dude) at coord 37.8, and get "Reclaiming the Charred Vale", which involves killing Harpies found in the same place at the Blackened Basilisks. When done with both quests, instead of heading all the way back across the Horde camp and all the Venture Co guys to get to Talondeep Path, just get back to the much closer Stonetalon Peak camp and fly back to Astranaar. The Harpies quest nets more XP and rep than the Venture Co quest, anyway, and IMHO they're easier to fight.
3) You state "kill any Young Pridewing", which don't exist as such. Kill any Pridewing around the lake, esp at the north end. Generally about 1 out of 4 venom sack droprate.
4) When you're back in Astranaar from Stonetalon Mountains, get the quest "Kayneth Stillwind" from Shindrell. Might as well have a good reason for getting to Forest Song to get you past the Horde's big camp if you're on a PvP server. Things can get ugly...
5) Also, after leaving the Forest Song camp, head east on the road to Azshara and the Alliance camp south of the road just after entering the zone. Get the flight path and you'll be prepared for that zone later on. Just be careful of the Horde Outrunner who patrols along the road, but she's a really easy kill if she tries to gank you. The Tauren in that camp is friendly, don't be afraid of him.
6) At 26a, step 1, Corporal Keeshan did -not- stop at the cave entrace, but kept right on going into the camps, aggroing the whole bunch. We survived, but barely. He didn't give me the chance to clear those camps before stumbling on.
7) Personal note: don't be afraid or hesitate to go ahead and take some of the continued quests that Boston says not to, if you want to explore a bit. A bunch of these quest chains are a lot of fun and have lore to learn , and this is the reason to play this game. Don't always be in a blind rush to level cap, especially if this is your first toon to level! Use this guide as a guide for where to be when and how, not as a strict bible. Have fun along the way!
Again, thanks to Boston for this guide, and Jame for his and the whole site!
Hey Quillerdaemon. I saw
Submitted by 00ZER00 on Wed, 2008-12-31 23:34.
Hey Quillerdaemon.
I saw this list and decided to test the guide out with a new character. This are my results:
1) You DO have to turn in a quest at this point, Boston tells you to turn in your quest to Madame Eva and GET THE FOLLOW UP in the section 21a.
2) This is indeed more XP because the time it takes for these little basilisks to respawn is quite... annoying.
3) This is true, only Pridewings and higher appear around this lake.
4) Yup, This is another quest I obtained because I saw it as easy XP.
6) Corporal Keeshan stopped for me, but when I helped my buddy do it he did not stop. I believe that it has to do with the orcs right outside the cave, whether they are there or not. Just prepare in advance and expect the worse.

Just jump in the guide at the beginning of a circuit close to your current level, and ignore the quests you can't get. It might be a little slower at the start, but after a while, you'll be back on track, and those quests won't matter anymore.
Thank you

Take the sting out of a diabetes diagnosis at your veterinary practice
Diabetes. This single word can bite cat owners, especially if they're unprepared or they've witnessed the disease before in other pets or people they know. Although we go out of our way in the veterinary industry to prevent such disease, it's still a common illness that we see in feline patients. With proper communication and commitment, you can help cat owners manage their pet's disease.
As you know, all diabetic patients are treated and managed on a case-by-case basis. They can all experience different outcomes, depending on concurrent disease, lifestyle, personality and so on. Not all clients will choose the same treatment for many different reasons. Your practice will have its own protocols for effective diabetic treatment and may not follow the same approach in this example.
Diabetes diagnosis: the first biteMrs. Sweet calls because she's concerned about her 11-year-old cat, Toonces. She says he's been drinking and urinating a lot, and he's not grooming himself like he used to.
Mrs. Sweet: "My friend told me he's just getting old, and not to worry. Should I be concerned?"
You: "Mrs. Sweet, you did the right thing by calling us. I know Dr. Cares will want to take a look at Toonces. She will thoroughly examine Toonces, including checking to see if he's lost any weight or is dehydrated. You might also watch to see if you notice Toonces isn't jumping well or if his rear legs seem flatter to the floor. Dr. Cares will also use blood work and a urinalysis to check for any abnormalities. This will help her give you a more complete picture of Toonces's health and how we can help him feel better."
When Mrs. Sweet and Toonces arrive at the clinic, the veterinary team will perform a physical exam, blood work and urinalysis to check for internal abnormalities.
Mrs. Sweet: "Why does my cat need all of these tests?"
You: "Generally your cat's symptoms help Dr. Cares make a diagnosis, but there are other factors that can affect the success of the treatment for diabetes. For instance if Toonces has pancreatitis or an underlying kidney problem, he may not respond well to the diabetic treatment and this can complicate the situation long term. So we need to be able to rule out concurrent disease so we can offer Toonces the right care to help him feel better."
When the doctor diagnoses diabetes, she may suggest hospitalizing Toonces for the day to perform further diagnostics, such as a blood glucose curve, administer IV fluids to correct dehydration if needed and any other testing required to treat any concurrent disease. It's not uncommon for clients to feel overwhelmed at this point, and it's vital to take the time to discuss the details of this disease and what they should expect in the future.
When a client first learns that their companion may have a lifelong chronic disease, it can be difficult to deal with. It's our job as veterinary professionals to help them understand what treatments are available and support them in any way we can. Many people know someone who's diabetic or they may be diabetic themselves. Sometimes referring to examples of people with this disease helps clients understand that with commitment and proper treatment, they can often manage their cat's condition.
Always try to discuss this diagnosis before bringing the cat into the exam room. Clients have usually been separated from the pet for some time and get very excited. You want them to focus on your information. Once you bring the pet in, give them time to visit. Then say you'd like them to practice giving the cat's injection. This usually gets them back on task.

The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Hyundai Elantra was redesigned for the 2001 model year. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of the Elantra in three 40 mph moderate overlap frontal crash tests into deformable barriers.
After the first test, Hyundai indicated the dummy's lower leg injury measures were different from those recorded in tests the company had conducted and requested a retest. Results of the second test were somewhat improved for lower leg injuries, but a high right foot acceleration occurred. More significantly, the airbag deployed late, contributing to poor head injury measures.
A third test was conducted after Hyundai could find no evidence of a problem in the airbag deployment sensing system and suggested the late deployment might have been anomalous. However, the airbag also deployed late in the third test. Due to the similarity of results, the evaluation of the Hyundai Elantra is based on all three tests.
Measures taken from the chest in all three tests indicate a low risk of injuries to this body region in a crash of this severity. In all three tests, forces on the head indicate that injuries to the head would be likely. In the second and third tests, forces on the neck indicate that injuries to the neck would be possible. A high head acceleration occurred when the head hit the B-pillar in the third test, indicating that another injury to the head would be possible. In all three tests, forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be possible. Forces on the right foot in the second test indicate that injuries to the right foot would be likely.
In the first test, dummy movement was reasonably well controlled, although the dummy's head did hit the steering wheel through the frontal airbag. During rebound, the deployed side airbag kept the dummy's head away from the B-pillar. In the second test, the frontal airbag deployed late (76 milliseconds, compared with a typical 30 milliseconds), and the dummy's head hit the steering wheel. Also, the driver seat came loose on one of its tracks and moved forward 3 inches on the right side, where the safety belt is anchored. Both of the dummy's legs jammed against the instrument panel. The left shin contacted an exposed metal edge, and the right knee hit just below the ignition switch, producing gashes in the "vinyl" skin at the dummy's left shin and right knee. During rebound, the deployed side airbag kept the dummy's head away from the B-pillar. In the third test, the frontal airbag also deployed late (64 milliseconds), and the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag. The side airbag did not deploy in this test, and during rebound the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
How this test is conducted
The Hyundai Elantra was redesigned for the 2001 model year.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. A left femur fracture also would be possible.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that head injuries plus rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the window frame, glass, and sill of the rear passenger door, producing moderately high head injury measures.

Ohio teen defendant testifies in Craigslist slaying trial that he feared for his life
AKRON, Ohio – The teenage suspect in the slayings of three men lured by phony Craigslist job offers testified at his murder trial Tuesday that he went along only because he feared he would also die if he didn't.
Asked repeatedly by his defense attorney why he didn't run from his co-defendant or call police, soft-spoken Brogan Rafferty, 17, said his onetime mentor had issued a veiled warning to keep quiet.
"I thought he'd kill me," Rafferty, of nearby Stow, testified as jurors watched intently, some taking notes.
He said co-defendant Richard Beasley, 53, of Akron, who has pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately, reminded Rafferty during the drive home after the first killing that he knew where Rafferty's mother and sister lived.
Asked what would have happened if he had objected, Rafferty responded, "He probably would have murdered me right there in the car."
Authorities say the victims answered Craigslist ads for work on a nonexistent cattle farm in rural Noble County in southeast Ohio. The scheme targeted older, single, out-of-work men with backgrounds that made it unlikely their disappearances would be noticed right away, according to authorities.
Beasley could face the death penalty if convicted. As a juvenile, Rafferty cannot and instead faces a life prison sentence without chance of parole if convicted of aggravated murder.
Rafferty said the horror of the first killing as the victim interviewed for a job at a southeast Ohio farm surprised him and, as he and Beasley drove home, Rafferty testified that he vomited during a rest stop.
"Did you agree to any of this?" defense attorney John Alexander asked.
"No," Rafferty responded as his tearful mother watched from the front row.
"Did you want to be a part of it?" his attorney asked.
"No," Rafferty said.
After the first killing, Rafferty testified, Beasley stayed in touch, sometimes daily, to check on his whereabouts, and Rafferty said he was afraid.
"Did you fear he was watching?" his attorney asked.
"Yes," Rafferty responded. "Because he was."
Rafferty, dressed in a gray open-collar jersey and green slacks, described a one-parent upbringing, seeing his drug-addicted mother only occasionally and often alone at home as his father worked.
His father befriended Beasley, and the ex-convict took Rafferty under his wing, taking him to church and becoming a "spiritual mentor," Rafferty testified.
On the first outing of what led to three shooting deaths and the wounding of a fourth man, Rafferty said there was no warning on the killing of Ralph Geiger, 55, of Akron, on Aug. 9, 2011.
Geiger, who was killed the day after he left a homeless shelter, saying he was taking a farm job, was shot by Beasley without notice as they walked through a wooded area, ostensibly looking for a path to a farm, Rafferty testified.
In one second Beasley pulled out a pistol, and in another shot Geiger, Rafferty testified. "I said to myself, 'Oh, my God,'" the teenager testified.
Rafferty said there was no logic to the killing, leading him to believe he might become the next victim.
"I was terrified," Rafferty testified.
Asked by his attorney why he accompanied Beasley on subsequent killing outings, Rafferty replied it was "that or die."

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks rose Friday, vaulting to intraday highs after a report the European Central Bank is modeling 1 trillion euros of quantitative easing.
The Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, -0.20% closed up 0.6% at 339.18. It rose by as much as 0.8% after a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung report that the central bank has modeled bond buying over one year, and that asset purchases would raise inflation by 0.2 to 0.8 percentage points.
The report comes a day after ECB President Mario Draghi said at a news conference accompanying the ECB's latest policy decision that officials have discussed quantitative easing, an indication the bank could use unconventional measures to tackle low inflation.
With annual inflation in the euro zone falling to 0.5%, there have been calls by some — including International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde — to take action.
The Stoxx Europe 600's advance on Friday was its ninth in a row. The last time the regional index posted nine straight sessions of wins was in October. The index also finished the week up by 1.6%, a third consecutive weekly gain.
Session standouts on Friday included Remy Cointreau SA RCO, +1.15% with shares moving up 3.6% on speculation the spirits maker may be an acquisition target of Brown-Forman Corp. BF.B, +1.12%
Also, shares of Renault SA RNO, -1.12% and Fiat SpA IT:F zipped higher by 3% and 1.2%, respectively, after the car makers landed ratings upgrades to buy from neutral at UBS.
The major European indexes had retained gains after the U.S. Labor Department said the economy created 192,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.7%, as more than a half-million people joined the labor force in search of work. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected an increase of 200,000 nonfarm jobs, and a dip in the unemployment rate to 6.6%. Employment gains for February and January were revised higher.
The data are consistent with the widely held view that the U.S. economy gained traction later in the first quarter, said analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman in a note. "The [Federal Reserve's] course remains well entrenched. The tapering continues," wrote Marc Chandler, BBH's global head of currency strategy, of the Fed's reduction in the amount of its monthly bond purchases. An interest-rate increase by the central bank isn't likely to take place until the second half of 2015, said Chandler.
The German DAX DAX, -0.11% finished up by 0.7% at 9,695.77.
Ahead of the jobs report, the German government said total manufacturing orders grew 0.6% in February in monthly terms, adjusted for inflation, workdays and seasonal effects. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected an unchanged reading. But figures for January were revised down to 0.1% growth, well below the 1.2% initially reported.
In France, the CAC 40 PX1, -0.17% tacked on 0.8% to 4,484.55. Shares of Bouygues SA EN, +0.06% rose 0.6%, managing to slough off earlier losses. The French conglomerate again raised its bid for Vivendi SA's VIV, +3.09% mobile unit, SFR. The offer was boosted by 1.85 billion euros to 15 billion euros ($20.6 billion) in an effort to fend off a rival bid from Altice SA ATC, -2.13%
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 UKX, -0.34% picked up 0.7% to end at 6,695.55, with EasyJet PLC shares EZJ, -0.43% rising 2% after March traffic figures from the carrier.

Plenty of excitement surrounded the University of Miami's first bowl game since 2010 with Saturday's matchup against Louisville in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando.
Unfortuantely for Canes fans, former quarterback commit and Miami Northwestern product Teddy Teddy Bridgewater had other plans as he most likely finished his college career, collecting 471 total yards and four total touchdowns to lead the Cardinals to a 36-9 victory.
Several of Miami's heralded recruits took to Twitter during the game to express their excitement, disappointment and outlook on UM's final game of the season.
Here are a few highlights from Saturday night:
Despite a typo, Deerfield Beach slot receiver Brandon Powell starts things off before the game with this gem, referring to Louisville coach Charlie Strong.
Louisville coach but too much Vaseline on his head before the game
— Brandon Powell#⃣4⃣ (@_Powellbp4) December 28, 2013
Miami Booker T. Washington defensive end Chad Thomas put Homestead wide receiver and UF commit Ermon Lane in his place in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Thomas reminded Lane of Louisville's 33-23 win over Florida in the Sugar Bowl last season.
@_MoneyLane chill lane, both of these schools smashed UF.
— TouchMoney99 (@F5_Chad) December 29, 2013
Booker T.'s Nigel Bethel, one of Miami's most solid commits since pledging to UM in July, tweeted out of frustration before retweeting a plethora of fans suggesting he attend school elsewhere. He wrote, "Miami embarrassing the 305😤," before later deleting it.
While far away from South Florida, safety commit Kiy Hester from Montvale (N.J.) St. Joseph Regional was hopeful for better days.
Don't trip Miami fans the future is too bright
— #⃣2⃣ (@Hester_2k) December 29, 2013
I'm coming crazy next year taking spots
— #⃣2⃣ (@Hester_2k) December 29, 2013
Things did look upbeat for the Canes to start the game. Deon Bush's safety blitz on Louisville's first offensive play, which gave UM a 2-0 lead, got Powell pumped up to say the least.
Safety!!!!!!!!!!! Lettssss gooooooo!!!!!!
— Brandon Powell#⃣4⃣ (@_Powellbp4) December 28, 2013
— Brandon Powell#⃣4⃣ (@_Powellbp4) December 28, 2013
Thomas, who was in Orlando for the Under Armour game festivities, wrote "Canes!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on Twitter before tweeting this:
In here with my future teammates, we cutting up! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
— TouchMoney99 (@F5_Chad) December 28, 2013
Other UM commitments at the Under Armour weekend are: Miami Central running back Joseph Yearby, offensive tackle Trevor Darling, Palm Beach Central offensive lineman Kc McDermott, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas offensive lineman Nick Linder and Raleigh (N.C.) Leesville Road wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
Bethel was critical of UM's defense on Louisville's second offensive drive, which resulted in a 32-yard field goal and 3-2 lead for the Cardinals.
Man it's simple once the QB roll out you get the man closet to you!!! They teach that in high school!
— Nigel Bethel II (@_NigelBethel) December 29, 2013
After Louisville's second field goal gave the Cardinals a 6-2 lead over the Canes, Hester urged the Canes offense to take advantage of its defense's play up to that point:

When Bridgewater connected with DeVante Parker for a 26-yard touchdown to give Louisville a 16-2 lead, Booker T. defensive end Demetrius Jackson showed some concern while Powell took the score in stride.

Good D good catch
— Brandon Powell#⃣4⃣ (@_Powellbp4) December 29, 2013
Jackson showed some more concern by "shaking my damn head" following a Louisville sack on UM quarterback Stephen Morris when the Canes were inside the 5-yard line on the ensuing drive. His teammate Bethel might have seen enough and decided to get a workout in with track season around the corner.
Smdh .... 😕😕😕😒

With about 3 minutes left in the scond half, Louisville's James Burgess Jr. (former Homestead standout and former UM recruit) laid out Dallas Crawford on a rushing attempt for no gain.

These dudes scared to run the ball and play they tip toeing

Louisville took a 22-9 lead into halftime, which stretched to 29-2 at the end of the third quarter. Powell had a positive outlook on the melee to a certain extent, while Jackson's reactions kept on the same trend.
29-2 smh wow !!!!!??

Miami just straight up trippin tonight

Around the 12-minute mark in the fourth quarter, Bridgewater scrambled for a 1-yard touchdown run and celebrated by signaling the U with his hand with a proceeding throat slash as the Cardinals took a 36-2 lead over the Hurricanes.
Thomas showed some love to Bridgewater, while Bethel got home from his workout.
Big cuz putting on. ✊

It's now full speed ahead into the offseason for the Canes, who will look to sustain the fifth-best Class of 2014 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.
Miami finished the season 9-4, giving up more than 500 yards on defense in five of its last six games. And while the outlook from Hester, Powell, and Thomas -- one of UM's most solid recruits -- looks positive, Canes coach Al Golden and his staff will have plenty of work to do leading up to National Signing Day on Feb. 5, 2014.
Saw a lot of positives last night In the game.... 🙌🙌 gotta keep grinding and working ... Good season hurricanes— Demetrius Jackson (@F5_Jackson) December 29, 2013

Tom Allesee is from Iowa, and it wouldn't be a stretch to see Kevin Costner playing him. His sunsplashed skin hints at his job, sports turf supervisor for Deltona's parks.
DELTONA — Ever since W.P. Kinsella's novel, "Shoeless Joe," was turned into a movie about a farmer transforming his cornfield into a magical ball diamond, writers and speechmakers have turned the figurative dirt in search of wisdom.
"Build it, and (fill in the blank) will come," goes the axiom.
Tom Allesee is from Iowa, and it wouldn't be a stretch to see Kevin Costner playing him. Allesee's blue eyes pierce through the shadow of a ball cap with a perfectly rounded bill. His sunsplashed skin hints at his job, sports turf supervisor for Deltona's parks. But he didn't build the city's "Field of Dreams," the Dewey O. Boster Sports Complex. When it was being constructed a decade ago, nobody was imagining much more than local residents and their children having a place to play.
Yet Allesee is an integral part of a team that has drawn raves from Major League Soccer club officials, opening possibilities for a city without much of an identity.
* * *
Deltona staff and elected officials have explored dozens of ways to attract economic development – everything from sales pitches, streamlining their own bureaucracy and offering tax breaks.
Yet it was one simple thing that got the attention of the Philadelphia Union when club officials were looking for a preseason training home.
The quality of the grass at Boster's soccer fields is the main reason the Union has expressed an interest in cementing a long-term agreement that could have world-class players and their fans coming to Deltona each February for decades.
"The ground crew here has done an amazing job," Union Manager John Hackworth said while surveying the field before a February exhibition. "This is one of the nicest soccer complexes we've been to."
Allesee, a 48-year-old former physical-education teacher who commutes from Palm Coast, oversees the turf at Boster's six soccer pitches and one football field, as well as at ball diamonds and other sports facilities across the city.
He heads a grounds crew of five and easily gives credit for the fields' quality to the team effort.
When Allesee started with Deltona in 2009, the fields' function was essentially to serve local youth and adult soccer clubs and the occasional tournament. Three years ago, his bosses – Steve Moore and Mark Manning, the director and assistant director of the parks and recreation department – asked Allesee his opinion about hosting a major-league soccer club for some practices.
Allesee supported the idea, but felt a bit of uncertainty.
"I knew nothing about soccer. I'm expecting them to want a major-league field (with stadium-seating). We don't have that," he said. "We have nice grass."
That was enough, though.
"I have a good crew," he said. "They'll address it to me if they see a puddle."
Eliminating those "compression areas," where water pools, is important because algae will form and grass will not grow in those spots.
Allesee also credits the quality of the soil upon which the fields sit. Deltona has a notoriously sandy soil, which makes for good drainage when it rains. Unfortunately for the turf crew – and homeowners across the city – drought conditions have dried up lakes and deprived lawns.
To keep the grass at Boster green through the drought and dormant wintertime, the city seeds its 419 Bermuda turf with rye.
"We wait until November, when football gets done about a week to 10 days, when there's minimal traffic. We put (rye) seed out and we water. About 10 to 12 days later, it pops up and we start mowing it," he said.
That might sound simple, but there's an art to using the right amount of rye seed so the grass stays green through the winter but doesn't choke out the base Bermuda come springtime.
* * *
Allesee, who learned about turf working on golf courses in Flagler County during each of the 16 summers he was teaching, laughs when asked about how green his own yard is. He says it's no better than the brown lawns most Floridians have before the spring renewal, and his wife, Nancy, occasionally reminds him of that.
"I don't have eight hours a day (to work on the lawn at home)," Allesee said. "It's a full-time job. A lot of beautiful yards are that way because either the owners hire people to do them or they don't have to spend a lot of hours at their job."
Allesee, though, would seem to be in the right job. He played sports as a youth, including football, basketball and tennis at Camanche High School.
He likes the idea that he helps make fields available to children and adults for healthy, fun activities that build the Deltona community. And he just feels at home on his lawn tractor.
"It's beautiful the days it's nice out here," he said. "I don't think I could be inside all day. It's a nice place spending mornings mowing. There's stress in the job, sure, but it's not do or die. Nobody is going to get hurt if one piece of grass is out of place."

** (out of four)
At some point in their lives, everyone believes they should follow the "signs" that the universe presents and see where they lead.
That's still what 30-year-old, mom's-basement-dwelling Jeff (Jason Segel) thinks, and that philosophy leads him on a wild escapade around Baton Rouge where his brother (Ed Helms) suspects his wife (Judy Greer) is having an affair. The guys' mom (Susan Sarandon) also wonders which work colleague is sending her instant messages, claiming to be her secret admirer.
Writers-directors Mark and Jay Duplass (the wonderful "The Puffy Chair") started strong and wrote themselves into a corner with 2010's "Cyrus." With "Jeff" they start in the corner and never get out, wrapping a weak idea around characters that spend too much time as Dopey and Grouchy.
What's meant to be a slacker adventure about destiny and living with purpose becomes an irritating, forced indie dramedy about foolish characters who let what happens at the end of the day justify everything that came before. That's not fate; that's asking for trouble.
