Duskwood (18 - 30) Lies south of Elwynn forest.
You will find many quests in this level range in this zone, and in the two listed below.
Whenever you notice some of the quests getting too hard, switch to one of the other two zones below and carry on questing there. As a whole, this zone has a lot of atmosphere, and is fun to quest in.
Ashenvale (18 - 30) and Wetlands (20 - 30)
Skip the lowest quests if you have not already done them at an earlier level. Go for the level 24-32 quests here, depending on your level.

Hillsbrad Foothills (20-45) for level 25-27
Excellent quests from Tarren Mill for this zone at this level range. You’ll want to do them, and move to Thousand Needles.
Thousand Needles (25-35) for level 25-27:
Thousand Needles lies directly south of The Barrens.

Pick up ’A New Ore Sample’ from Tatterneck Steelforge in the Crossroads and ’Steelsnap’ from Melor Stonehoof in ThunderBluff on hunter rise before going to Thousand Needles.
For the lower level end of this area, Freewind Post on a mountain in the middle of the zone will provide you with quests. There are some quests available by a small outpost to the west along the road as well.
Quests are somewhat scarce at this level range. You can move to one of the zones listed below for some questage, or to grind for a few levels instead.
Ashenvale Forest (18-30) for level 25 – 30
Several quests to do here at this level. Mostly green quests at this level, so gain a level or two and move to Stonetalon.
Stonetalon Mountains (15-27) for level 25-30
Mostly green quests here at this level. Crank em out for a levelup
Level 30 - 35 questing
Thousand Needles (25-35) for level 30 and higher:
Thousand Needles has a goblin/gnome racing town with a several quests in the southeast of the zone, on the Shimmering Flats. You can complete all of these quests in the Shimmering Flats (All enemies are beasts), which is a pretty small area. The quests are:
Load Lightening
Salt Flat Venom
Hardened Shells
Rocket Car Parts
A Bump in the Road
Make sure to pick them all up so you can work on all of them at the same time.
If you spot a centaur named Galak Messenger in the area near the Great Lift, you can kill it for a dropped quest. You will need a party of level 30’s or higher to kill the quest mob without too much difficulty.
After finishing these quests, either Desolace or Arathi Highlands is a good spot to move to next. Pick up the ’Encrusted Tail Fins quest’ from Wizzle Brassbolts in Shimmering Flats first if you plan to go to Desolace.
Arathi Highlands (30-40)
As Alliance, follow the road to the north in Wetlands over the bridge, or go east from Southshore.

Horde players; Pick up ’To Steal From Thieves’ from Genavie Callow in Undercity, and ’The Hammer May Fall’ from Tallow in Tarren Mill. Reach Arathi by going east along the road in Hillsbrad.
Complete the non-elite quests from Hammerfall, and move to a different zone before trying Stromgarde quests. For the hardest ones its easiest to have a group of 40’s.
You can expect to gain one or two levels questing here.
Hillsbrad Foothills (25-40)
Hillsbrad has a several good quests for Alliance from level 30-40 available in Southshore.
It is a good opportunity to gain some experience, but not a zone you can expect to stay in for more then one level at this level range.
Desolace (30-40)
The entrance to Desolace lies in the Southwest of Stonetalon Mountains, in the Charred Vale. The zone is fairly unpopulated, mainly because it lies out of the way. It is fairly good for questing, and provides a nice and quiet questing experience.
For Horde: There is a troll town with flight path in the southwest of Desolace, by the shoreline.
Alliance has an outpost in the north of the zone, east of the zone entry.
The quests for both factions range from level 33-40.
Outside of the outposts, there are some questgivers scattered around the zone. Most of those can be skipped, but one quest is definately worth doing for its nice +7 stamina necklace reward;
Bone Collector, gotten from Bibble Futzbuckle at a hut, south of the zone entry along the road and northeast of the Kodo Graveyard. The quest takes place in the Kodo Graveyard.

Doing either of the Centaur Alliance quest chains is a good idea, as it requires alot of killing in the same location. Beside the quest reward experience, you will gain good experience, gold and loot from simply killing alot of centaur.
Stranglethorn Vale (30-45)
Horde players should wait till level 33-35 before going here.
They can reach it by taking the boat that departs from Ratchet in The Barrens.
Alliance players can go here at level 31 or higher, taking the road leading south in Duskwood.
They can visit a camp in the north of Stranglethorn which containts quests around the level 30 range. (Alliance only)
Both horde and alliance players should pick up all of the quests in the hunters camp, in the north of the zone along the river. Horde should also visit the town of Grom’Gol, southwest of the hunter camp, for a flightpath to Booty Bay and more quests in that level range.
Lastly, visit Booty Bay to pick up the following quests:
Singing Blue Shards (from Crank in the Inn)
BloodScalp Ears (from Kebok in the Inn)
Save all of the various pages you find. Four sets of four pages each can be combined into chapters at Barnil Stonepot in Nesingwary’s camp. The whole thing gives a large chunk of exp and is worth the nuisance of having all the pages in your inventory a while. You will often find people looking to trade pages in the zone.
Skip the quests from Drizzlik in Booty Bay as the items you need to gather drop far too rarely, and the end reward is a pair of leather boots. Bleh.
As you reach level 36-38, there is a gap in the quest levels, and there will only be a few yellow or green quests left. Time to move to a different zone. Its best to wait with returning here until you’ve passed 40.
Both factions have a flightpath in Booty Bay, but they’re easy to miss. For Horde it is on the top level of the Inn. (Go outside on the balcony, then turn the left corner) For Alliance it is on the highest level of BB, behind the Inn’s top floor.
Level 35 - 40 questing
Badlands (35-45)
The Badlands entry is in the south of Loch Modan. As horde, your travel path to Loch Modan would be Arathi Highlands >> Wetlands >> Loch Modan. (Take the tunnel from wetlands to loch, SE of Wetlands)

There are alot of quests from 35-40 for both factions here, and many of them are quite easy. This is an excellent zone for gaining a few levels at this level range.
One quest chain is of extra interest as it rewards you a clickable trinket with a 10 second runspeed boost.
To do this one, you’re going to need a Gyrotomaton (Engineering) and a Frost Oil (Alchemy). You might find those in the auction house, or maybe you can get someone to make them.
The quest starts off east of kargath (Horde town in the northwest), in a small camp with two gnomes in it.
Complete the following quests:
Quest:Coolant Heads Prevail Quest:Gyro... What? Quest:Study of the Elements: Rock part 1,2,3
This is Going to be Hard.
Once you’ve done all that, you’ll get the trinket. Its nice for escaping sticky situations.

Arathi Highlands (30-40)
At or near level 40 you can get a group together for the Stormwind quests. They are good experience, and worth the effort because they’re all in a relatively small area.
Horde Stromgarde Quests:
Call to Arms part 4: From Hammerfall.
Sigil of Strom quest chain (all quests are done in Stromgarde): From Hammerfall
Foul Magics part 2: From Hammerfall.
Alliance Stromgarde Quests:
Stromgarde Badges: From Refuge Pointe
Treleyne’s Defenses and Attack on the Tower: Refuge Pointe.
Before doing this quest, you must complete the ’Worth its Weight in Gold’ quest from Apprentice Kryten.
Wanted! Marez Cowl: Wanted sign in Refuge Pointe
Wanted! Otto and Falconcrest: Wanted sign in Refuge Pointe
There is a somewhat hidden area called Faldir’s Cove with a couple of quests for level 40’s. You can find it Southeast of Stromgarde. If youre up to the ’Death From Below’ quest, get up on the ship and fire the cannon whenever you see nagas coming. Its easily solo’d that way and pretty fun.
Desolace (30-40)
There are some quests for the level 38-40 players of both factions here. The amount of quests is fairly limited, but especially the demon related ones in the south are relatively easy, and fun to do if you use enslave. Enslave Lord Azrethoc, an elite demon who wanders around the ruins, for some serious killing power.
Stranglethorn Vale (30-45)
To avoid too much travelling (its negative effects on levelling speed not to be underestimated), Its best not to return to SV until 40 or higher if you have already done the 30-35 level range quests.
Level 40 - 45 questing
Stranglethorn Vale (30-45)
There is a good deal of quests available for the 40 - 45 player here.
Both times I’ve done Venture Company mining it was a big pain because the goblins are close together. Other people aggroing them and causing you adds during a fight happens often, so you might want to skip that one.
If you are doing the ’The Bloodsail Buccaneers’ questline, make sure you pick up ’Up to Snuff’ from Deeg in the inn, as well as ’Keeping an eye out’ from Dizzy on a middle level of Booty Bay.

Do quests here until you start running out of yellow/green ones, after which its a good idea to move to Tanaris or Badlands.
Tanaris Desert (40-50)
You reach Tanaris through a passage in the mountains in the south of the Shimmering Flats region, which is in the east of Thousand Needles.
You will find alot of 40-45 quests here, and theyre for the most part rewarding to do. If you run out of quests, move back to Stranglethorn or Badlands to do quests there.
Badlands (35-45)
Theres a bunch of 40-45 quests here, many are for the Uldaman instance. Nearly all Uldaman quests are done before actually entering the instance, so you could take a group and do them even when you dont have the time for a full instance run.
Level 45 - 50 questing
Tanaris Desert (40-50)
This zone is very similar to Feralas questwise, around this level.
As most of the zones listed for this level range are reasonably equal in terms fo quests and experience, pick the zones you enjoy playing in the most.
The Hinterlands (40-50)
You reach The Hinterlands through a mountain pass to the east of Tarren Mill. Alliance has a dwarf outpost with flightpath in the northwest. Horde players will find the trollish outpost Revantusk Village in the southeast of the zone, along the coast. There’s many quests available here.
Searing Gorge (43-50)
There is a passage through the mountains in the Badlands leading west, you’ll find it south of Kargath.
The Searing gorge has a neutral outpost in the Northwest of the zone, called Thorium Point. Many quests are available for this level range, which makes it a good place to quest for some time. You can find dark iron ore in the thorium deposits here.
Feralas (40-52)
In Thousand Needles, follow the road west to get to Feralas. An alternate route is going through a gap in the mountainridge in the south of Desolace.
Horde players going here at level 45 will let you do the majority of the quests here, and be sure to net good experience. Alliance players are better off going to Tanaris, The Hinterlands or Searing Gorge at this level range.

Azshara (45-55)
Follow the road leading to the east in Ashenvale.
This zone has a very low amount of quests available. Not worth it unless you’re anxious to mess around with enslave demon on the satyrs here.
Level 50 - 55 questing
Un'Goro Crater (48-55)
This is a great zone for questing for 50+, there are alot of quests available and I find them for the most part fun to do.
Before going to Un’Goro, theres some quests you could pick up in other zones to do there.
Bone-Bladed Weapons (Horde Only) from Jes’rimon on the top level of the alchemists building in the Drag of Ogrimmar
Un’Goro Soil - Horde – Archdruid Runetotem on Elder Ride
Un’Goro Soil – Alliance – Arch Druid Staghelm on top of the center tower in the Cenarion Enclave in Darnassus
Super Sticky from Tran’rek in Gadgetzan.
Bungle in the Jungle from Alchemist Pestlezugg in Gadgetzan.
Jumping down the crater from Tanaris will kill you, and sometimes put your corpse in a place you cannot reach in ghost form. There is an entry ramp in the southeast of the zone. As you enter the zone through the ramp, don’t miss the tauren questgiver near a waterfall. (for both horde & Alliance)
Also, there is a goblin questgiver in the west of the zone, right by a large lake. The temperature he wants measured is on highest point of the volcano in the center of the zone.
There is a neutral outpost in the north of the zone.
Western Plaguelands (51-58)
When done in Un’Goro, the Western Plaguelands make a good zone to visit next,
follow the road leading east in Tirisfall Glades to reach it.
Horde players will find several quests at the Bulwark, which is right at the entry to the zone. Some of them are soloable, but they are mostly fastest done in a group.
Alliance players will find similar quests at their own entry to the zone, which lies north of the Alterac Mountains.

The Hinterlands & Searing Gorge (40-50)
If there’s any quests remaining for these areas, they will mostly be around the low 50’s. Taking a group into Jintha’Alor to complete the quests there will get you some nice quest experience and rewards. The zones listed above are better suited for questing at this level area though.
Burning Steppes (50-58)
To reach this zone, you much travel through the Searing Gorge (west of Badlands), and go through Blackrock Mountain. Horde has an outpost in the north of the zone, east of the Blackrock Mountain entry. Alliance has an outpost in the Southeast corner of the zone.
Both outposts have a flightpath. It is not a very good zone for questing.
The number of quests that actually take place in this zone is limited, the majority takes place in the Blackrock Depths and Blackrock Spire instances.
If you are killing or questing in this zone, and see an elite giant named Volchan, he is soloable. Just use fear and dont let him get near you, and you’re good. He drops green items most of the time.
You can find dark iron ore in the thorium deposits here.
Level 55 - 60 questing
Eeastern Plaguelands (53-60)
Follow the road leading you east through Western Plaguelands.
Right as you enter eastern plaguelands, go north along the river. There is a small farm with a questgiver, and a tunnel leading directly to the scourge town Plaguewood. (In the tunnel is another NPC who offers you a quest that, as reward, lets you buy a box with a random item inside, for far too much gold)
Light Hope’s Chapel can be found in the east of the zone, and is home to many questgiving NPC’s. Argent Dawn faction can be gained through doing these quests, which is valuable if you’re after the rewards this can get you.
Felwood (47-57)
You can get to Felwood by following the road leading north in the center of Ashenvale.
In the south of the zone, near the entry, you’ll find a small outpost along the road with some neutral questgivers. A bit further along the road, a little to the west of the road there is another questgiver wandering about. The quest this tauren gives will reward you with consumable items, and requires you to be in Felwood for an extended period to be worthwhile. I suggest you don’t go out of you way to do it and save yourself some time.

There is a well hidden horde outpost in this zone. Follow the river from the bloodvenom Falls (in the middle of the zone) westward, and look for a ramp leading up on the south shore.
Alliance has an outpost in the Northeast, south of Felpaw Village.
Both have a flightpath and questgivers.
Silithus (55-60)
This is a good questing zone for this level range, you will find a bunch of single and chainquests from the NPC’s in Cenarion Hold. Stay away from the large hives, they’re full of nasty elite bugs.
Winterspring (55-60)
Winterspring can be reached by going through a tunnel in the northern tip of Felwood. The tunnel is filled with enemies, but you can fight your way through or run it pretty easily.
You can find Donova with some quests south of the tunnel exit (and you may need her for quest turnins like Linken’s quests. Follow the road to the east to get to Everlook, a neutral outpost with flightpaths for both factions. This zone has alot of quests for this level range.
Burning Steppes (50-58)
Very few quests that dont take place in Blackrock Depths or Spire. It’s a good zone for farming thorium, dark iron ore and soul shards though. (imp groups)
