Ashenvale is a vast wilderness found north of the Stonetalon Mountains
and the Barrens in Kalimdor. Being the ancestral homeland of the Night
Elves, these fair folk are rather protective of the zone and up until
the recent Cataclysm following Deathwing’s return remained
largely in control.
Since the Cataclysm and Garrosh’s takeover and his push for
conquest, the Horde has begun a series of attacks on Ashenvale and the
various Night Elf encampments in the zone. Many sections of the once
beautiful woods have been deforested however, the Night Elves will not
go down without a fight. Splintertree Post is under constant siege and
half of the Warsong Lumber Camp has been lost. But despite the efforts
of the Night Elves, the Horde has continuously managed to expand in
Ashenvale and will not be easily removed.
If you have been following along so far, we have completed Azshara in
it’s entirety and have successfully reached level 20 (or
perhaps higher). The quest “Probing Into Azshara”
obtained from Kroum in Valormok will lead you to the Mor’shan
Ramparts on the border between the Northern Barrens and Ashenvale. Here
you will be investigating a potential assault on the Barrens by the
Night Elves. For those who did not complete the quests in Azshara but
who are still looking for a breadcrumb quest leading into Ashenvale,
don’t fret! Simply visit your local Warchief’s
Command Board where the quest “Warcheif’s Command:
Ashenvale!” can be picked up.

After taking out some pesky Night Elves and avenging some fallen Orcs
it will be time for you to move on. The quest “Got
Wood” opens after you have completed the chain of quests
starting with
style="font-style: italic;">“Find
Gorat!” and will
offer you a
free ride on a spunky Kodo named Brutusk who will take you to the next
quest hub on your journey; Warsong Labor Camp.

After doing your small part at the Warsong Labor Camp you are once
again sent on your way as a bit of dire news pours in with the quest
style="font-style: italic;">
“Crisis at Splintertree“.
Time to load up your

The loss of Gorka is a great one, but you have managed to obtain help
for Splintertree, and just in time. It’s finally time to see
what this Kodo can really do. Accept the quest
style="font-style: italic;">“To The

accompany Kadrak on the back of Brutusk to break

it’s time once again to move on with the quest

quest will be turned in at Splintertree Post then you will be asked to
take the orb to one Je’neu of the Earthen Ring.
Je’neu is supposed to be in the Zoram’gar Outpost
but in a recent patch he has since been moved just inside the instance
of Blackfathom Deeps
Once you have struck one final blow in Ashenvale in the name of the
Horde it’s time to move on. At this point if you have
completed all the quests thus far you will have two very clear options.
“Well,
Come to the Jungle” will
lead you across the
sea to Stranglethorn Vale, while
style="font-style: italic;">“We’re
Here to Do
One Thing, Maybe Two…”
on the other hand will take
you south into the Stonetalon Mountains.
Since this is a Kalimdor quest guide, we of course will be taking the
path into the beautiful, and often dangerous Stonetalon Mountains as a
part of Hellscream’s great army.

Stonetalon Mountains are a large range of peaks found west of the
Barrens. Once a low set of gentle rolling hills, the Sundering that
first tore apart the world drove the peaks high into the air.
Traditionally the homeland of the Harpies, their numbers have dwindled
in recent years as the race spread further east and south.
The Stonetalon Mountains is an unusual zone, as both the races of Night
Elves and Tauren coexist here as it is a sacred zone for both peoples.
It was here, atop Stonetalon Peak, the highest point in Stonetalon
Mountains that the Horde and Alliance combined forces to fight the
Burning Legion’s advancement.
Since Garrosh’s takeover after the Cataclysm a push for
conquest by the Horde all over Kalimdor has begun. Garrosh’s
unknowing appointment of a corrupt General in charge of the
Horde’s progress in the zone will rock the very core of this
coexistence and perhaps mar the Stonetalon Mountains beyond repair.
If you have completed the quests in Ashenvale the breadcrumb quest
“We’re Here to Do One Thing, Maybe
Two….” will take you into the Stonetalon Mountains
as a part of Hellscream’s mighty army. Or if you somehow
managed to miss this breadcrumb quest simply visit
Orgrimmar’s Warchief’s Command Board where the
quest “Warcheif’s Command: Stonetalon
Mountains!” will be available for pick up. Both of these
quests will land players at the first quest hub in the zone; The Fold.

battle at Malaka’jin, which if taken, will ensure the loss of
half the zone for the Horde. The quest

A terrible turn of events reveals corruption in the Horde and all seems
lost until the Warchief himself makes a surprise appearance and he and
an old Tauren show us once again what it truly means to be part of the
Horde. With faith renewed in the new Warchief and the future of the
Horde, two paths lie before you leading out of Stonetalon. The quest
“Nura
Pathfinder”, picked
up earlier at
Malaka’jin will take you to the aid of the Tauren defending
the Southern Barrens at the High Road, while
style="font-style: italic;">“Nothing Left
for You Here” will
lead you into Desolace. Your course is
yours to choose but for this guide we will be setting our path into the
war torn Southern Barrens.

The Southern Barrens was once part of the larger zone previously known
as just the Barrens. Once a peaceful, savannah like zone the Barrens
was one of the zones most heavily effected by the Cataclysm and has
since been divided into two sub zones; the Northern and Southern
Barrens.
The Southern Barrens is a rather generic term for all the lands that
now fall on the southern portion of the Great Divide (a huge
lava-filled chasm). The Southern Barrens have seen many other major
changes since the Cataclysm including the introduction of the region
called the Overgrowth where the efforts of the Druids who have for so
long been trying to restimulate life in the Barrens can be seen first
hand.
Despite the promise of new life (regardless of how out of control it
may currently be) the Southern Barrens is also home to one of the
greatest war zones in the ongoing conflict between the Horde and
Alliance. Marring the center of the land lies the Battlescar, a natural
bottleneck and one of the most important positions for either side.
Players who managed to complete the quests in the Stonetalon Mountains
will be lead here by the quest style="font-style: italic;">“Nura
Pathfinder”.
Those who do not have this breadcrumb quest for whatever reason can
pick up another breadcrumb from the Warchief’s Command Board
in Orgrimmar where the quest style="font-style: italic;">“Warchief’s
Command:
Southern Barrens!”
will be available. Both quests will lead
you to Nura Pathfinder, who can be found along the High Road.

Low Road” comes from a Roadway Plans, a quest item dropped
from an Honor’s Stand Officer.
After doing your part to ensure that Honor’s Stand remains
isolated, hopefully upping the chances for the Horde to push back the
Alliance here once again you will receive the quest
style="font-style: italic;">“Signals
in the Sky”. This
quest will have you travel to Camp
Una’fe located in the Overgrowth to investigate a distress
signal.

notorious Quilboar Sabersnout in the quest “Speaking Their

will call a large number of boars to his aid. These boars have low
health and can easily be defeated with AoE spells.
The Quilboar are subdued, at least for now, and many survivors have
been rescued and it’s now time to travel further into the
Overgrowth to offer your services elsewhere. At this point you should
have two quests leading you onward
style="font-style: italic;"> “A Family
Divided” and
style="font-style: italic;">“A Curious

the quest “A Curious Bloom” first and seek out
Naralex at the Overgrown Camp.

Overgrowth and now it’s time to share the information with
others who will know what to do with it. The quest
style="font-style: italic;">“Winnoa

ground outside, while the other two can be found inside two separate
buildings.
Vengeance for the destruction and murder at Camp Taurajo has finally
begun being served despite the mishaps of the last general in charge in
this zone. A full reckoning for this incompetent general is at hand and
you will be delivering the news of his fate first hand with the quest
style="font-style: italic;">
“Desolation Hold Inspection”

An unworthy General has been removed from command and great strides
have
been made at reclaiming the Battlescar in the name of the Horde all
with your help, but now it is time to move on from Desolation Hold to
the next step in your journey through the Southern Barrens. You should
have two quests that will lead you onward;
style="font-style: italic;">“Firestone
Point” and
style="font-style: italic;">“Tauren
Vengeance”.
Which quest you choose to follow is up to you, but for the
sake of this guide we will be going to Firestone Point first where you
may be surprised to find a very familiar face.

“Blood of the Barrens” can be obtained from the
Carved Boar Idol, a quest item that drops from the Quilboar in the area
around Firestone Point.
While Mankrik’s heart is still heavy with the death of his
wife, the death of many of the Quilboar, including their leader, at
your
hands as well as a possible new romance is salve for his wounds.
Nothing more can be done here and it is time to follow the quest
“Tauren
Vengeance” to
Spearhead where you will be
able to make a final blow against the murders of Camp Taurajo.

The Dwarven hold at Bael Modan has been eradicated and the spirits of
the dead at Camp Taurajo, including Gann, can finally be at peace. Only
one quest remains to you,
style="font-style: italic;">“Next of
Kin” will take
you into dangerous Dustwallow Marsh where you can alert
Gann’s next of kin of his fate. Congratulations on
successfully completing the Southern Barrens!

Dustwallow Marsh was once a high plain, until the Sundering. The plain
was smashed and a valley was created allowing for the water table to
bleed to the surface, giving us the Marsh we know today. Navigation
through the Marsh can be extremely difficult and those adventuring here
should be prepared to constantly adjusting their camera angles thanks
to the dense growth found here.
Fed by underground springs, the Marsh is always wet and muddy and is a
favorite spot for crocolisks. Black Dragons have also made the southern
portion of the marsh their home and is appropriately named Wyrmbog.
Here in the Wyrmbog, Onyxia, the current brood mother of
the black dragon flight, can be found deep within her instance
lair.
For those that have completed the quests in the Southern Barrens the
quest “Next
of Kin” will lead
ask you to report to
Brackenwall Village where you can report the fate of Gann to his
family. If you didn’t complete the quests needed to obtain
“Next
of Kin” or
you simply choose another
leveling path, visit the Warchief’s Command Board in
Orgrimmar where the quest style="font-style: italic;">“Warchief’s
Command:
Dustwallow Marsh!”
will be available which will also take you
to Brackenwall Village.
Upon arrival to Brackenwall you will notice that there will be a ton of
quests available for pick up. Brackenwall is the largest quest hub in
the zone and will be the central hub from which all the spokes leading
about the rest of the Marsh will originate.

While completing the quests from Brackenwall Village players will find
themselves quickly involved in a mystery of sorts with the quest
style="font-style: italic;">“Shady Rest
Inn”. The Inn has
apparently been burned to the ground and you are charged with
investigating for any clues that may have been left behind. Due to the
sheer number of quests from Brackenwall Village, it is suggested that
you visit this mini-quest hub whist completing other quests from the
Village.

collect them all!
After you have collected the three clues from the Shady Rest Inn you
will head back to Brackenwall where you will further investigate the
mystery and continue completing any other quests you have not yet
completed.
Another mini-quest hub branching from Brackenwall Village will open
with the quest
style="font-style: italic;">“The Hermit of
Witch Hill”. This
quest will lead you to Swamplight Manor in the northern region of the
swamp where you will be investigating some strange happenings that may
or may not directly relate to the Manor itself.

players with pets, when completing the quest “Marsh Frog
Legs” be sure to put your pet on passive, or attack and kill
the frogs from range otherwise your pet will kill them and make the
frogs unlootable.
After collecting an unthinkable amount of food to sate Jarl’s
appetite and cleansing Swamplight Manor and Witch Hill of its demon
problem, one again you will be heading back to Brackenwall Village with
the quest “The
Lost Report” which
can be picked up next to Swamplight Manor in some loose dirt.
By now you have probably completed most if not all the quests available
to you in Brackenwall Village. If this is the case you will probably
have the quest
style="font-style: italic;">“Help
Mudsprocket” in
your quest log as well as two other quests
style="font-style: italic;">“Check Up on
Tabetha” and
style="font-style: italic;"> “Seek Out
Tabetha”. Put
Mudsprocket on hold for awhile and prepare to visit the infamous
Tabetha instead at her farm in the Quagmire.

style="font-style: italic;">The quest “The
Grimtotem Weapon” will ask players to kill mobs while using a
totem. You MUST get the killing blow on these mobs while under the
effects of the totem. The buff is 10 seconds long and refreshes almost
instantly after expiring. The easiest way to do this is to turn all
pets on passive, and to only kill one mob at a time to prevent the
debuff from jumping from mob to mob.
Head back to Brackenwall Village where you will turn in one final quest
“Justice
Dispensed” and then
it’s time to
make one more stop before heading to the Goblin town of Mudsprocket.
While questing for Tabetha you should have received the quest
“The
Zeppelin Crash” where
you will be asked to
check out a crashed Goblin Zeppelin to the east of Tabetha’s
home. Head here next to help out where you can.

will not function leaving you at the mercy of the Oozes.
Collect some cargo, zap some oozes and finally all quests in your log
(“Feeling

style="font-style: italic;">“Enemies
Abroad”, and
style="font-style: italic;">“Help

including the one you will have just obtained from Beezil’s

wondering all the while why these Raptors are carrying around feathers
in the first place.
Almost as soon as you arrive in Mudsprocket you will obtain the quest
“To The Summit” which is the breadcrumb quest
leading to you to the next zone in line; Thousand Needles. But before
you move on be sure to complete the quests in Mudsprocket by
challenging the might of the Black Dragonflight and avenge the Ogres of
Stonemaul Hold. Once completed speak with the nearby Wind Rider Master
for a free flight to the next zone. Congratulations on successfully
completing another zone and reaching level 40!
