Where to Adventure Guide - Levels 60 to 63

Hellfire Peninsula - Contested

Hellfire Peninsula is a dark war torn region and the first area of the Outlands that you are going to visit as it is the location of the other side of the Dark Portal. Upon entering you will find the Dark Portal under siege by the Burning Legion. To get to your faction city in the zone you can find a flight master on the steps of the Dark Portal that will fly you to either Honor Hold (Alliance) or Thrallmar (Horde). While the Hellfire Peninsula is accessible to players lower than level 60, it is really meant for levels 60-62. Lower level players can easily get squashed over and over again by some very difficult MOBS.

Blizzards Description of Hellfire Peninsula:

Once a lush and verdant land, Hellfire Peninsula is now a dry, barren wasteland rendered lifeless by the dark practices of orc warlocks. It is here that the Dark Portal stands, cementing the peninsula's place in history as the site of many pitched battles between the Alliance and Horde. The nefarious Burning Legion has gathered here also, using the area as a staging ground for its apocalyptic crusade.

As with all the zones in the Outlands, Hellfire Peninsula is packed full of quests, so many that you are unlikely to complete all of them before being ready to move onto a new zone. The quests for both factions start out at your starting city and then expand to secondary towns and encampments throughout the zone, including the secondary flight points at the Temple of Telhamat (Alliance) and Falcon Watch (Horde). A complete list of quests in Hellfire Peninsula can be found in our database here: TenTonHammer Quest Database Results for Hellfire Peninsula along with our Map of Hellfire Peninsula.

The zone contains a world PvP feature which is the Hellfire Fortifications. The fortifications are made up of Broken Hill, the Overlook and the Stadium. Whichever faction holds all three gets a +5% damage buff while in the zone. You also receive honor tokens when killing enemy players in these areas that can be turned in for rewards.

The Hellfire Citadel is also located in the region, which houses four instances that you will want to check out, they are:

Instance Hellfire Ramparts The Blood Furnace The Shattered Halls Magtheridon's Lair

You can find guide for these (and other) instances on our Burning Crusade Instance Guide page.

For Miners you are able to find tons of the new ore type: fel iron ore, in the zone. An especially good place is around behind the Dark Portal as there are at least a dozen spawn points back. For players collecting herbs, you can find the new Dreaming Glory and Felweed throughout the zone.

Zangarmarsh - Contested

Zangarmarsh is the second area you are likely to explore in the Outlands and is a completely different looking zone. It is a lush swamp covered with giant mushrooms that form a forest canopy overhead. The zone is meant for level 60 - 64 players and is teaming with MOBS. Most of the creatures are swamp type invertebrates or plant life, such as Fungal Giants, Spore Walkers, Nags, Crabs and Spore Bats.

Blizzards Description of Zangarmarsh:

Zangarmarsh is a tranquil area that has largely evaded the demonic influence. The marsh's innumerable lakes and pools are clean of any taint, and most native animals and fungi give off soothing phosphorescent light. Only recently has the area's self-contained ecology faltered. Something is causing the water levels to drop. The marsh's giant mushrooms are dying, as are the creatures that rely upon the mushrooms for food.

Zangarmash houses 2 towns per faction and a town that is visitable by both factions run by the Cenarion Expedition. There are 2 flight points per faction in the zone, one at each factional town: Telredor and Orebor Harborage for Alliance players and Swamprat Post and Zabra'jin for the Horde.

There are a huge number of quests in the zone, and a complete list of them can be found in our database here: TenTonHammer Quest Database Results for Zangarmarsh along with our Map of Zangarmarsh.

The zone contains a world PvP feature which is the Twin Spire Ruins. The ruins are made up of an East and West spire and a central tower and graveyard. Whichever faction holds both spires and plants a flag at the central tower gets a +5% damage buff while in the zone. You also receive honor tokens when killing enemy players in these areas that can be turned in for rewards.

The Coilfang Reservoir is also located in the region, which houses four instances that you will want to explore, they are:

Instance The Slave Pens The Underbog The Steamvault Serpentshrine Cavern

You can find guide for these (and other) instances on our Burning Crusade Instance Guide page.

For Miners you are able to find fel iron ore and Adamantite ore throughout the zone, but mainly near rocky cliffs. For players collecting herbs, you can Blindweed, Dreamfoil, Dreaming Glory, Felweed, glowcap, Golden Sansam and Ragveil throughout the zone.

Terokkar Forest - Contested

The Terokkar Forest is a zone with several different areas in it. To the north of the zone it is a lush forest with many types of wild life roaming though it. Also to the north the main city in the Outlands can be found: Shattrath City. However once you start heading south the zone becomes desolate as you enter the Bone Wastes. In the wastes you encounter many types of darker more sinister MOBs, such as spirits, vultures, spiders and demon worshipers. Also in the Bone Wastes you can find Auchindoun an ancient Draenei temple that is now an instance area.

Terokkar Forest houses the main capital in the outlands which is Shattrath city as well as one town per faction, Allerian Stronghold for Alliance and Stonebreaker Hold for the Horde. All three have flight points for easy travel.

There are a huge number of quests in the zone, and a complete list of them can be found in our database here: TenTonHammer Quest Database Results for Terokkar Forest along with our Map of Terokkar Forest .

The zone contains a world PvP feature called the Spirit Towers. The Spirit Towers are five towers that surround the Auchindoun instance area. Whichever faction captures all five towers gets a +5% damage buff while in the zone which is locked in for 6 hours, at which point the buff will be lost and all towers become fair game again. You also receive honor tokens when killing enemy players in these areas that can be turned in for rewards.

Auchindoun (an instance area) is also located in the region, which houses four instances that you will want to explore, they are:

Instances

Hellfire Ramparts - Contested

Omor Defeated!

The Hellfire Ramparts are the first wing of the Hellfire Citadel and are generally referred to as simply the Ramparts.  The Citadel straddles the path of glory leading to the Dark Portal and contains 3 other instances.  The Citadel is the home of the Fel Orcs in Hellfire Peninsula and was built by Blackhand and Gul’dan and still houses the Kargath Bladefist.

The Ramparts instance is set on the walls of the citadel and you can look out and see the whole zone in spectacular view in several places.  The Hellfire Ramparts are the first instance that you are likely to do in the Burning Crusade.  Much of the loot that is found is on par or will replace tier 1 epic gear.  Players that have not raided in the past will be very happy with the rewards and should run this instance several times to get all gear for their class.

Blood Furnace - Contested

Keli'dan the Breaker

The Slave Pens - Contested

Mennu the Betrayer

The The Slave Pens are meant for players level 62 - 64 and are the first of four instances located in the Coilfang Reservoir deep in Zangarmarsh.

Even though it is located underwater they are full of air. The predominant MOB type in the instance are Nagas and aquatic wild life in many different forms.

The Slave Pens themselves house mainly Naga MOBs and their Draenei slaves, but the bosses (other than the first) are various forms of sea and swamp life. You can find all the quests in our WoW Database here, and a complete walk through guide here: TenTonHammer's Guide to The Slave Pens .

The Underbog - Contested

Ghaz'an

The Underbog is the second instance in the Coilfang Reservoir area and meant for players level 63-65.

There are some naga, but predominantly it is full of sporebats, giants, wasps, and other creatures.
