***Joana/Mancow's Outland Guide for Horde***

 

Introduction:

Welcome to Joana's 60-70 Burning Crusade Outland Leveling Guide for Horde!  Before I start, I would like you to understand that there are hundreds of quests in the Outland, and there is only 10 levels of character advancement.  What this means is that there is no perfect path to take since you will be at the same level for long periods of time (at least I have not found a perfect path yet), with this in mind, this 60-70 guide will be a bit different than my 1-60 guide.  I am not going to list an exact path to take but rather list the order of a general path to take in the Outland.  I am going to highlight quest hub paths to take, a general order on how all the quests are to be done, and any information I feel is necessary to mention about a particular quest.  I am not going to fill this guide up with loads of obvious information and force you to take one path the whole time.  You should read all the quest descriptions carefully, because they will tell you where and how the quest is done, I will list additional info on a quest if I feel it would help out.  This guide was made for a reference on where you should be leveling at and any help you may need on particular quests. I wrote this guide based on the info I wish I had the first time I was playing through the Outland.  My guide is also tweaked for FAST leveling, since that is what I like doing best with this game.  I leveled up two characters to 70 in the beta, 60-70 takes about the same time as 1-50, although I'm not completely sure because I have not done any speed runs through Outland yet.

 

Why didn't I make a step-by-step guide?  It is about impossible to come up with a very good step-by-step guide while playing in the beta.  As I am writing this guide, the game is constantly changing from patch to patch.  With every patch that comes out like every week, Blizzard is adding a lot more quests and tweaking the way current quests work, plus it takes months and months of playing and planning to come up with a set-in-stone pattern. Once TBC matures a bit more and I do several speed runs through it and feel comfortable with a set in stone pattern I can then make a step-by-step guide, you are just going to have to settle with this "reference" guide for now, which should still be VERY helpful.

 

Also the quest patterns are pretty much the same no matter what class you are.

 

If you come across any quest that you don't know where or how to do it, simply look it up at either wow.allakhazam.com or Thottbot.com, they will tell you everything about the quest.

 

 

Help me improve this guide!

If you feel that some quests should contain additional information that would be helpful, or if you have any additions or find any errors in this guide, PLEASE contact me here, make sure you leave "Outland Guide Improvements" in the subject line so it filters correctly into my inbox.  This guide is a work in progress, and I appreciate any feedback to make this guide better!

PLEASE READ! (HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE):

 

This guide is an excellent reference for how to level up in Outland, a good way to use this guide is if you need help on a quest you can use your browser's "Find" feature, simply go to your browser's menu and click "Find" or use the shortcut key "CTRL+F" to bring up the find text function, then enter the quest name (or a partial part of the quest name) and your browser will go right to it.

 

More info on how to use this guide:

 

08) "Quest Name"  (this quest has a yellow highlighted number)  Quests that have a yellow highlighted number simply means it is numbered on the map to the right.  This saves time because some quests are not numbered on the maps, so you know whether or not to look on the maps.

 

Links colored in blue are quests that are (or will be in the future) linked to both thottbot and allakhazam, you can see this by the last two letters in each quest link will take you to Thottbot instead of Allakhazam. This is not implemented yet!

 

Links colored in maroon are internal guide links.

 

For each section you will notice that some quests will be highlighted in a certain color, this means that each quests with the same highlighted color (in each section) are generally best done together at the same time.  So before doing a quest that has a highlight on it, make sure you have the other quests with the same highlight before you go do them.  This just makes things more efficient for faster leveling.  And the [x] next to each highlighted quest simply means how many other quests total have that same highlight.

 

All video links are in RED,  All videos are linked to both Stage6 and Google Video (the last letter in each short video link will take you to Google video instead). Now keep in mind Stage6 has MUCH higher video quality than Google video.  Mirrors are provided if there is an issue with one of the links.

 

!!!!!!!!!I DID NOT CONTINUE ON!!!!!!!!!  -  This simply means I did not continue on with this quest chain in the beta.  It does not necessarily mean that you shouldn't continue on also.

Outland 60-70

01) To enter the Outland, you must have the Burning Crusade Expansion pack, otherwise you are not allowed to enter it.  To enter it, you have to go through Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, from there you can enter the Outland.

02) There is a quest giver (Warlord Dar'toon) right before you enter the dark portal that gives "Through the Dark Portal"  ... accept it.

03) Then enter the Dark Portal.

04) Before I get started, I want you to get a bit familiar of what is in store for you, as far as the paths you are going to take.  Check the map out to the right for a basic guideline on the leveling paths you are going to take.  Here is a quick and basic rundown of zones/levels:

05) 60-61 Hellfire Peninsula

06) 61-63 Zangarmarsh

07) 63-65 Terokkar Forest

08) 65-67 Nagrand

09) 67-68 Blade's Edge Mountains

10) 68-69 Netherstorm

11) 69-70 Shadowmoon Valley

12) For reference, you can check out Blizzard's overview of Outland right here, you can get a good idea of where all the cities and dungeons are with this map.

 

(Levels 60-70)

____________

01) Dark Portal

02) Thrallmar

03) Stonescythe Canyon

REMEMBER:  The arrow paths you see only represent a general progression path to take through Hellfire Peninsula, it does NOT represent an exact path to take.

This big blue O represents the best grinding spots. Most of the mobs in this zone are non-squishes, the best grinding spot in this zone would be the Wrathguards at the Legion Front.


 

Dark Portal

01) First thing you'll notice in front of you is a bunch of HUGE demons killing a bunch of NPCs, no need to worry about it now.

03) Go turn in "Arrival in Outland" ... accept "Journey to Thrallmar"

05) Make Thrallmar your home.

The Marsh Elementals at the Funggor Cavern is the best grinding spot in this zone, and it's a VERY good one too, the elementals die really fast and don't do a whole lot of damage. It's a good place to hang out for awhile, however you should focus more on doing the quests in this zone though.
