Druid Leveling Guide 1-70

Levels 1-20

Play around in your starting area for the first 20 levels. Do a couple of Deadmines runs to get a couple blue or green items. Make some friends for later on down the road. At level 10 you get bear form, at level 16 you get aquatic form and at level 20 you get cat form. Don't forget to do these quests.

Levels 21-30

Redridge Mountains and the Wetlands are good transition areas for a druid. At level 23ish, you can move to Ashenvale, or the western part of the Stonetalon Mountains, if you're on Kalimdor. The Eastern Kingdoms, Wetlands can still be a hub for quests in the mid 20s, as is Duskwood and the Hillsbrad Foothills.

As for instancing, the Wailing Caverns is a good choice for some gear. In the late 20s, you can go to Blackfathom Deeps Shadowfang Keep or the Stockades. I'd suggest grinding Blackfathom and the Stockades because Shadowfang is mostly a clothie's instance and there are fewer quests there anyway.

Levels 31-40

Desolace is a good place to go to if you're a leatherworker, while Alterac Mountains or Arathi are better for miners. Now you have Razorfen Kraul (32ish) and Razorfen Downs (38ish) and Scarlet Monastery (all the way from 35 to 40).  

Stranglethorn Vale is awesome level 30+. The Rebel Camp and Nesingwary's Expedition are excellent grinding spots that you should exploit up to around level 36. The Venture Co Base Camp near Lake Nazferiti is also worth checking out, because it's a place where other classes have a harder time grinding.

Levels 41-50

At level 40, go to the Hinterlands to Hiri Watha. This is a relatively quiet area with mobs ranging from level 40 to 43 that you can tackle. Hinterlands, although being a contested area, is usually not very populated, so if you're the type that simply wants to power level with no one bothering you, then this is the place to be at, for around 1 or 2 levels. The Scarlet Monastery Cathedral can be tackled now and so is Uldaman. I'd wait until level 44 for Uldaman though and get through levels 42 and 43 by either grinding the Naga Explorers in Southern Stranglethorn Vale, or the Waterspring Humanoids in Tanaris.

Levels 46 and 47 can be filled with a couple of Uldaman runs, a trip to Azshara if you like the seaside, or the Feral Scar Vale in Feralas. Tanaris, Azshara and Feralas are my favorite picks. Tanaris has a lot of nice quests and is quite compact, plus it has humanoid mobs with good loot. Azshara is quiet with little player activity, plus the mobs there drop like flies.

For levels 47 to 50, Zul’Farak is an important source of gear and experience and you can also grind the Searing Gorge (very compact, humanoids, good quests). The Southmoon Ruins in Tanaris are grindable, with mobs ranging from 47 to 49.

Levels 51-58

Three areas work great in the 51-53 range: the furbolg villages in Felwood, Sorrow Hill in Western Plaguelands and the Frostfire Hotsprings in Winterspring. Felwood and Winterspring are a good combination and you'll also get some nice drops there, plus the rep if you're aiming for the rewards. Ungoro Crater is my favorite area for 53-55 although rogues have a great advantage here, as they'll be able to avoid the patrolling mobs better than any other class. Sunken Temple should be grinded a couple of times if you're aiming for some specific gear, but don't overdo it, there are several places where you can get a better experience/hour ratio. Such as the Blackrock Stronghold in the Burning Steppes. Blackrock Stronghold was loosely considered the best grinding spot pre-TBC, but now you should just use it as an experience well to get to 58 and step through the Dark Portal.

Outland

Stepping to Outland doesn't really change much in terms of how you should collect and use gear. Sometimes it's faster to jump from mob to mob if you have the Stamina for it, than killing mobs faster due to the higher AP, but having to downtime a lot.

Levels 58 and 59

One thing that Outland has in abundance is quests and despite the fact that you could find grinding spots that offered you better experience than questing so far, in Outland it's an absolute must to combine grinding with questing if you're to level quickly. Most quests in the Hellfire Peninsula are clustered in specific regions, so do a sweep of both camps there and collect all possible quests, to save you some time.

Come back to the Eastern part and complete the "local" quests there while grinding the level 58 mobs when possible. Remember that Outland mobs give you almost twice as much experience as mobs of the same level in Azeroth. So from now on, try to stay in Outland for the majority of time, there's no use grinding or questing in Azeroth anymore.

Levels 60-61

You have one of two options at this level range to speed up your experience gain. The first one is grinding and questing in Eastern and Central Hellfire, which is definitely the fastest way to get experience. However, you can also grind the two instances in the Hellfire Citadel, the Ramparts and the Blood Furnace. You may make less experience per hour, depending on the party you hang with, but it's definitely a good way to replace your Azeroth gear, which will speed up grinding for the next 2 levels. Entirely your call really and it might also depend on whether this is your first character through Outland or not. If it is, I suggest you take it slower and get a combination of questing and instancing done, but if you're just speeding through the levels to get your druid to raiding capabilities, go for the questing + grinding combo.

If you skipped some of the quests in Hellfire and went on to Zangarmarsh, a great grind spot is in the Dead Mire, straight up as you enter. Admittedly, this place seems to always be crawling with players, but if you're lucky enough to catch them resting, you can get an impressive amount of experience and money from the Bog lords there. They drop Motes of Life quite often and you'll need loads of them if you're a Leatherworker.

Levels 62-63

 You can either jump to Terrokar Forest, a new great quest hub, or continue to instance in Hellfire and Zangarmarsh until you hit level 64. As a shaman, Terokkar was pretty sweet; it reminded me of Stranglethorn Vale a bit. I've also been to Zangarmarsh with my priest and had a hard time, getting owned in the naga camps and by those silly tribesmen. But if you don't like the area, just finish all the quests in Hellfire and get to level 63, then skip directly to Terokkar. Make sure you go to Shattrath and take the flight path of course.

Levels 64-65

This is the perfect level range to tackle the instances in Zangarmarsh (Slave Pens and Underbog) and the first one in Terokkar, the Auchenai Crypts. After you've reached 64, I would advise you to jump straight to Nagrand. It's a cash cow out there and it's time to start gathering some gold for that new mount. There are 2 great places to grind for money and experience in Nagrand. The first one is the Elemental Plateau in the Northeast. You'll tackle level 65-66 mobs that aren't too hard to kill and that drop motes of fire and air on the edges of the valley you can get motes of earth (but these are less profitable and the earth mobs are annoying). The main problem in the Plateau is not the mobs, their number or their difficulty, it's the amount of players that see this area as a money making opportunity and constantly grind it.

The second place to grind is the lake near the Throne of Elements, at the foot of the mountain holding the Elemental Plateau. Less player activity, but you'll fight underwater mostly, which is always a nuisance. Motes of water drop pretty well, however the mobs are scarcer. So it's really more of a money-making grind spot than one for leveling.

Levels 66-67

Continue grinding in Nagrand for these two levels and maybe get a quest or two in when unloading for loot in your faction's town. I found the quests here less interesting or profitable (money and experience wise) than the ones in Hellfire or Terokkar, but it won't kill you to complete one on your way to your favorite grind spot. Additionally, if you're bored of Nagrand, you could go to Blade's Edge Mountains for a few ogre kills. I avoided Blade's Edge completely and as soon as I hit 67 doing quests, grinding and a few instances in Terokkar and Nagrand I went for Netherstorm.

Druid Leveling Guide - Levels 68-70

Going to Netherstorm at level 67 might be just a tad hard, however you'll get tons of experience from the initial mobs there. At level 68, you can tackle most areas in Netherstorm and you should focus on clearing the manaforges (doing the quests in the process). You get rep, money and good experience. Another great spot for a druid to grind in Netherstorm is the Ruins of Enkaat. You get to fight some mana wraiths, which drop motes of mana and rock elementals, which drop motes of earth. The experience is good, but again, you'll get to make some serious money in the process while you're at it.

Shadowmoon Valley, although not necessarily considered a higher level zone, should be tackled at around level 69. Mobs hit harder and it's generally a more chaotic area where you'll have a harder time leveling. The Hand of Gul'Dan is a good leveling spot and you'll be getting motes of fire in the process, which can't hurt.
