WoW Horde Leveling 12-20

The Barrens will be your new home for the next few levels. There’s a good deal to do here and the mobs range from 12 to 20+ so be careful running around. You don’t want to get in over your head fighting mobs that are too tough for you.

Once you arrive in the Barrens, turn in “Conscript of the Horde” and get “Crossroads Conscription”. Also turn in “Ak’Zeloth”. Skip “The Demon Seed” quest. Run to XRs. A hunter could tame a Savannah Huntress cat at this point if they want. Accept all the quests at XRs and then make it your home.

There are a couple of good guides that layout how the quests in the Barrens should be performed.

Another option is Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide. Joana went from 1-80 in less than 7 game days which is pretty cool. Considering he did it without hacks or cheating, and it's even more impressive. He’s set at least one new server record for fastest to 80. He also recorded the whole process on video and includes the video with his guide. It's by far the best step-by-step guide available for leveling a Horde character. The catch? It's $45.

WoW Horde Leveling 6-12

Last time, we stopped at Razor Hill to rest. Now is the time to get up and get back to leveling that Horde character of yours. Here are some suggestions on how to quickly get from 6-12. Before you leave Razor Hill, make sure you get First Aid as a profession.

Get all of the quests on Razor Hill. There are 5: “Encroachment”, “Dark Storms”, “Break a Few Eggs”, “Vanquish the Betrayers”, and “Carry Your Weight”. The last one is in the watch tower nearby.

Start with “Vanquish the Betrayers” and “Carry Your Weight”. Once Benedict is dead, take his key and open the chest to start “The Admiral’s Orders” quest. Turn in your two completed quests and go complete “A Solvent Spirit” and “From the Wreckage” near the water that is to the east of Tiragarde Keep. Go complete “Encroachment” as well. If you aren’t level 8 yet, what is wrong with you? Just kidding. Grind around until you reach level 8, then head for Razor Hill to get spells.
Head south to complete “Thwarting Kolkar Aggression” and turn it in. Go to Echo Isles and complete the following 4 quests “ Practical Prey”, “Zalazane”, “Break A Few Eggs”, and “Minshina’s Skull”. Now, and this is only to save time, go find the toughest mob you can and attack them. DO NOT heal yourself. If you die, so much the better, if you win, good experience. If you are still alive after doing this a few times, die on purpose. Now where are you? Sen’jin Village? Yup. Turn in all of those quests you compelted and then hearth to Razor Hill. Do the second part of “Encroachment” and go get “Lost But Not Forgotten”. While heading north, grind mobs until you reach a goblin who gives you “Winds in the Desert”. Do that quest and turn it in. Grind some mobs to reach level 10.

Go back to Razor Hill to turn in “Encroachment” and to level up.

At this point, hunters can complete the three pet quests and get their first pet. Other classes should turn in “The Admiral’s Orders” to Thrall and receive “Hidden Enemies”. Go to Cleft of Shadow to get “Finding the Antidote”. Go complete “Securing the Lines” and turn it in. Next, complete ‘Finding the Antidote” and “Lost but Not Forgotten” followed by “Dark Storms”. Turn in “Lost but Not Forgotten” and “Dark Storms” to get “Margoz”. Complete that quest and turn it in and get “Skull Rock”. Go complete ‘Skull Rock” as well as “Hidden Enemies”. When you kill Gazz’uz, make sure you loot him to get the Eye of Burning Shadow. This starts “Burning Shadows”. Turn in “Skull Rock” to get “Neeru Fireblade”. Go to Orgrimmar to turn in “Hidden Enemies” and get the second part of that quest. Go turn in “Neeru Fireblade” and “Burning Shadows”. Get “Ak’Zeloth”. Keep talking to the contact to complete ‘Hidden Enemies” as well. Go back to Thrall and turn in “Hidden Enemies”. You can skip the 3rd part since it’s an Instance, if you want to speed up the leveling. Leave Orgrimmar and turn in “Need for a Cure”. You should be level 12 now. If not, do a little grinding until you reach it. Use the hearth to get to Razor Hill. Build up First Aid as well as get new spells/abilities. Get “Conscript of the Horde”. Time for the Barrens. Head west to enter the Barrens.

Another good time to take a break. Your WoW Horde character should now be level 12 with good First Aid abilites to help you as you progress.

WoW Horde Leveling 1-6

Here are some quick pointers to get you started on leveling an Horde character as quick as possible. Keep in mind, that there are suggestions and you can certainly differentiate from that when you want. These tips will help you avoid the less worthwhile quests and maximize your time in the early part of the game. This is for starting as an Orc or Troll in Durotar.

Get “Cutting Teeth”, “Sting of the Scorpion”, “Serkoth” and then “Vile Familiars.” Once you’ve completed those, turn them in and get “Galgar’s Cactus Apple Surprise” and “Lazy Peons”. Turn those in and get “Burning Blade Medallion” and “Thazz’ril’s Pick”. Use the hearth stone to return to Durotar. Turn in “Burning Blade Medallion” and “Thazz’ril’s Pick” and get “Report to Sen’jin Village”. Leave Durotar and head to Sen’jin Village. On the way there, get “A Peon’s Burden” and “Thwarting Kolkar Aggression”. Go turn in “Report to Sen’jin Village”. Start collecting all of the quests around the village. One tip, try not to do “A Solvent Spirit” in the water around the village. Head towards Razor Hill. Feel free to grind on the mobs along the way. Make sure you reach level 6 before you get there so you can pick up some new skills. Before you take a break, make Razor Hill your home.

Time to rest, both in the game and at the computer. Get up, move around, get something to eat and some fresh air. The next trip will be from level 6-12.
