Priest guide - levels 20-60

[Daxo]

I noticed there are not many priest guides...



Levels: 21, 22, 23, 24
Where: Southeast Duskwood (Tranquil Gardens Cemetary)
Mobs: Level 21-23 Skeleton Warriors/Mages
Comments: The area is packed with mobs and has a fast respawn rate. Should get around 18,000 EXP/hour here. Do the quest titled "The Night Watch" because it is a really good grinding quest. Pretty close to the graveyard.

Levels: 24, 25, 26
Where: Northwest Duskwood (Raven Hill Cemetary)
Mobs: Level 23-25 Skeletal Fiends/Horrors


Comments: If this area is packed with players, you can always jump over to the Ghoul area north of the Skeleton area. Watch out for Mor'Ladim. The second "Night Watch" quest is here. Raven Hill is rather far away from the graveyard; don't die as you will have a long walk.

Levels: 26, 27, 28, 29
Where: Duskwood
Mobs: Level 27-29 Ghouls (Raven Hill Cemetary/Catacombs), Level 26-30 Ogres (Ogre Mound)
Comments: I'm sorta at a loss about what to say for these levels. Personally, I did a lot of Duskwood quests here. The Worgen quest gives a 24.2 dps wand (if you didn't do BFD) and the Bride of the Embalmer quest gives a 7 INT/7 SPR pair of shoulders. Do whatever for these levels, but if you're going to quest it up in Duskwood, do bunches of quests at a time to minimize travel time. Set your hearth to Darkshire, also.

Levels: 29, 30, 31, 32
Where: Northeast Duskwood (Manor Mismantle)
Mobs: Level 29-30 Fetid Corpses
Comments: There are two treasure chests here (one in the middle of the area, one in the house). Be careful of Stalvan inside the house; stay away from him since he curses you. You'll need to remove the disease these zombies give you. You'll get lots of wool and a bit of silk from here. Pretty close to the graveyard.

Levels: 33, 34
Where: East Desolace (Kolkar Village)
Mobs: Level 31-34 Centaurs
Comments: There is one grind quest here for Centaur Ears, and the quest reward is a 7 SPR ring. You can easily get a ton of silk and mageweave here. Level 33-36 were the slowest leveling paces and the most painful. I'm wondering if there are better places to grind than in Desolace (e.g., Arathi trolls perhaps?). If you want my personal opinion, avoid Stranglethorn Vale, especially if you are on a PvP server as you will not get anything done quickly. Not far from the graveyard in the center of the zone.

Levels: 35, 36
Where: Southeast Desolace (Magram Village)
Mobs: Level 32-36 Centaurs
Comments: This can be a tough area to grind in, if you let it be. You have to find the correct spot and just get in a groove. For me, I used the spot on the map where the land juts into the lake to form a peninsula. There is a small tower near, and you can cross the bridge and kill the mobs on the island if you would like. Beware and avoid the Pack Leaders at all costs (they spell easy death). Figure out their movement paths so that you can avoid them. Not far from the graveyard in the center of the zone.

Levels: 37, 38, 39, 40
Where: Northwest Badlands (Dustbowl)
Mobs: Level 37-39 Lesser Rock Elementals
Comments: Your greatest grinding will probably take place here. Your mount money will come from here. Elemental Earths sell for 75 silver to 1 gold a piece on the auction house on my server, and stacks of 20 Solid Stone sell for 1.5 gold to 2 gold. Make use of the auction house! At level 40, I had about 200 gold thanks to Badlands. The Elemental Earths are also good if you are a tailor (powerlevel your tailoring skill with the Earthen Vest pattern. There is also a grind quest for the Lesser Rock Elementals. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you are NOT using a nature-based wand. Elementals are IMMUNE to nature damage. If you are an enchanter, you can craft yourself a Greater Mystic Rod (level 175). Right near a graveyard if you die.

Levels: 39, 40, 41, 42
Where: South Badlands (Mirage Flats)
Mobs: Level 39-40 Rock Elementals
Comments: These guys are located very south in the mountain area. Another grind quest here. You'll continue to get fast experience and make big money here. The only downside to grinding these Elementals in Badlands is that you won't have much mageweave (if you're a tailor). At level 40, your EXP/hour will shoot up to around 30,000!

Levels: 42, 43, 44, 45
Where: Southwest Badlands (Camp Something)
Mobs: Level 42-44 Greater Rock Elementals
Comments: There are two areas with these guys, one to the east of the Ogre cave and one to the west. The eastern area in the hills is the larger of the two and works best for grinding. The area is circular, so you can just go around in circles over and over again. If the eastern area becomes packed with players, you can switch back and forth between the two areas easily. Also, there is another grinding quest here. Right near a graveyard if you die.

Levels: 45, 46, 47
Where: East Tanaris (Lost Rigger Cove)
Mobs: Level 44-45 Southsea Pirates
Comments: After 9 levels in Badlands, you finally get some change of scenery. This area can be have quite a few players around, so you'll need to be fast. As a Shadowpriest, you should kill (and recover) things FAST, so you grind very well in crowded areas. There are five quests of note here, most of them starting in Steamwheedle Port (Northeast of Gadgetzan). There's a pirate hats quest, two WANTED quests worth doing, a grind quest, a ship schedule quest, etc. The map fragments quest and the Find OOX-117 quests are NOT worth doing, by the way. You'll get decent Mageweave cloth here. Grind both inside the fenced area and outside it, just wherever there are respawns. Work your way around.

Levels: 48, 49, 50
Where: Southwest Tanaris (Thistleshrub Valley)
Mobs: Level 47-50 Thistleshrubs
Comments: More elementals (so don't use that nature-damage wand). These are great for alchemists since they drop Gromsblood, Blindweed, Ghost Mushrooms, etc. The Rootshapers go down VERY quickly for mobs at this level (low 2000s HP). There are two quests here (both in Gadgetzen, one is for Noggenfogger). I experienced a high green drop rate here and even found a purple (Flurry Axe sold for 300 gold). You should be hitting 33,000 EXP/hour here.

Levels: 51, 52
Where: Southwest Western Plaguelands (Sorrow Hill)
Mobs: Level 50-52 Skeletons/Ghouls
Comments: This is very tricky grinding. This area will be very crowded, so you may not want to grind here at all. For these levels, I sometimes logged on late at night and did these when the server population was low. This area is very streaky. For a few hours one night at like 7pm, I grinded totally undisturbed. It is a great area since the mobs are weak, you get Runecloth, Scourgestones for Argent Dawn reputation (keep that A.D. Commission equipped!), etc. Right near a graveyard if you die. You also might want to consider grinding in Felwood for Timbermaw reputation or even for Felcloth during these levels, but that will probably be just as crowded.

Levels: 52, 53, 54
Where: Un'Goro
What: Quests, Level 52-54 Tar Lords/Lurkers
Comments: I held off on Un'Goro until level 53 for a reason. On my last character, I quested in Un'Goro starting at level 50, but I found I was unable to do half the quests and by the time I reached level 54-56, I was dry on quests everywhere. The Tar Lords/Lurkers are EXCELLENT to grind since they drop Living Essences (which you can either use for Timbermaw recipes, Hide of the Wild, or just the auction house). These elementals drop herbs also. This spot's very near the camp (vendor/repair). It is important to note, however, that you should begin doing quests again. Do all of the quests in Un'Goro with few exceptions. You probably don't want to do the entire Linken Chain since it involves a lot of travelling, but you can do the first few parts before giving up on the chain. Be wary of the Pterodax quests. Don't spend a lot of time on them. Try to keep an eye out for Pterodaxes while you're riding around like an idiot collecting soil (for a quest in Darnassus, if you're ever near there) and crystals.

Level: 55
Where: Felwood
What: Quests, Level 48-50 Furbolgs/Level 51-52 Satyrs
Comments: Felwood is a tricky zone, but many of the quests here are worth the travel if you do and turn in several at once. While crisscrossing across Felwood, I completed the Timbermaw Ally quest several times. You will want at least Unfriendly reputation so that you can access Winterspring. The Satyrs drop Felcloth, but these areas will be crowded with farmers. In my experience, the northern area (Jadefire Run) was very crowded, but the southern area wasn't. You can probably get 3/4 of a level out of Felwood. Note that the quest where you have to explore the craters and kill 2 Entropy Beasts (or whatever) is incorrectly marked elite (you can solo it just fine).

Levels: 55, 56
Where: Winterspring
What: Quests, Level 53-56 Winterfall Furbolgs, Level 55-58 Yetis
Comments: Felwood and Winterspring go hand-in-hand, and you'll run back and forth between them a lot. When you reach Winterspring the first time, you should have two quests from Un'Goro that direct you to Donova Snowden. Most of the quests here are pretty easy and straightforward. The Yeti-Fur one is a bit difficult, so try not to focus on it in particular. Try to do it gradually as you ride around Winterspring. If you can catch the furbolg areas free in the western part of the zone, you can grind there for easy EXP and reputation (the Totemics are very weak). The Yetis in the eastern regions and caves are great grinding as well. Note that for the Winterfall Runner quest, there is one Winterfall Runner in Deadwood Village in Felwood that you can kill to obtain the package (so you don't have to run around searching for those three runners). Also, the Recipe: Mooncloth pattern can be bought from a vendor in Everlook.

Levels: 56, 57
Where: Western Plaguelands
What: Quests
Comments: Western Plaguelands is most definitely an awesome zone in the game. There are so many quests here in such a small zone. Do all four of the cauldron quests. Try to get a group for Araj. At level 56, I was able to do the "All Along The Watchtowers" quest without aggroing the elite inside the towers (inch up to the door slowly). There are a couple quests that start in the Inn in Andorhall. At the first farm, there is a ghost inside the house that starts a line of quests. At the second farm, there is a diary on the floor in the barn that starts a line of quests. At the third farm, there is a dead druid in one of the houses that starts a line of quests.

Additionally, there is a lone human in the northern part of this zone that starts a line of quests dealing with the Scarlet Crusaders. The final quest in this line is probably one of the best quests in World of Warcraft. Tip on soloing it-- PW:Fort, Inner Fire, PW:S, jump on your mount, ride like hell through Hearthglen, use Psychic Scream at the bottom of the tower where the two Paladins are, renew/shield yourself going up the tower, make sure you get credit for the quest at the top of the tower, jump off so that you land on the wall beneath and don't take as much damage, use a potion/Desperate Prayer if applicable, run like hell out of Hearthglen. 6200 EXP and 1.75 gold quest reward. I was averaging about 50,000-53,000 EXP/hour during this time.

Levels: 57, 58
Where: Eastern Plaguelands
What: Quests
Comments: Tirion's quests are nice and lead to the eventual "Of Family" quest in Scarlet Strat (which gives an AWESOME cape). They are grueling and take a while, but they are well worth the EXP and the latter quests in the line. Be very careful of the quest "Of Forgotten Memories." It is very unlikely that you can solo it. Slowly make your way toward Light Chappel's Hill, killing all the Bats/Hounds/Grubs and doing a couple Darrowshire quests. There are a lot of Bats concentrated near the Marris Steed, and a lot of Grubs Northeast of that tower near there. Avoid the quest where you have to explode the eight Ziggurauts (takes too long). There are some frustrating quests here where you have to gather a list of supplies or bring something from another zone (e.g., the Fragments of the Past quest where you need Crystal Restore from the Northern Pylon in Un'Goro and a quest item from outside Dire Maul). You'll probably want to avoid these quests. You'll dip down to 40,000 EXP/hour here, but that's still pretty good.

Levels: 58, 59
Where: Silithus
What: Quests, Level 57-58 Rock Elementals, Level 58-60 Twilight Cultists
Comments: Find a group to do all of the elite Hive quests at once, and you'll get nearly half a level upon completion of all of the quests. You'll be grouping a lot in Silithus. You can grind Scorpids for Scorpid Blood drops if you want, or the Rock Elementals for Essences of Earth. The Twilight Cultist camps will probably be crowded with people farming gear/tablets, but then again this entire zone is packed but very fun!

[m0ses88]

nice. sounds sexy to me

[kringla]

the start is for alliance!

[Matinovich]

Finally !! a priest guide ... nice

i can really use this

[whoareyou70123]

no i can't use it I'm horde

[rezmeplz]

The alliance guide posted came from the Bliz forum's from a guy call Arvid, but it got a lot of praise.

anyway heres one for the horde which i have been using before i got joanna's guide, again this was origanily posted in another forum, in this case it was the VN Boards, the person posting it compiled it from other peoples guides so niether i nor him/her can take credit for the content posted, however he/she did put it all together. So enough chatter from me and here u go, enjoy!




Leveling 1-10
Here we go! To level anything from 1-10 will take you about 3 hours, maybe a bit longer if you're new to WoW. I won't bother telling you how. Essentially you run around the newbie area completing some newbie quests, and then you run out to the next newbie area and complete some more newbie quests..

Leveling 10-20
Head on over to Orgrimmar and grab the Wind Rider master. Then make the long run to Crossroads in The Barrens, where many quests await you. Bind at this inn, and always use your Hearthstone to save you running time. The main quests to do here are the series of kill quests from Sergra Darkthorn (12-16), the series of razormane killing quests from Thork (12-15), the oasis-related quests from Tonga Runetotem (16), and the raptor quests from Gazrog (13 and 1. Also available is Fungal Spores from Apothecary Helbrim (15) which will have you running to Thunder Bluff, where you'll want to train in your staff skill with the weapon master there, and also pick up the wind rider point. Just west of the Crossroads along the road is a small Orc outpost where you can find a series of Centaur quests from Regthar Deathgate (14-20). Heading east of the crossroads, along the road again, will bring you to Ratchet where you can find yet more quests such as a series from Mebok Mizzyrix (16-20), Wharfmaster Dizzywig (14-16), and Sputtervalve (14-16). One of Sputtervalve's quests will have you trekking over to Stonetalon Mountains (see below) but the end result (which you'll need a friend for as it's a level 27 quest) is a very nice cloak. Also, the quest NPC for the Chen's Empty Keg series of quests, Brewmaster Drohn (15-24) can be found in Ratchet. Now, if you look up the locations of all of these quests, you'll see that a lot of them coincide with each other in terms of location. Use this fact to minimize on the amount of running that you do. Time=Experience, remember? The Barrens is a big place and you can waste a lot of time there if you don't plan your journeys well. Plan your journeys for you? This isn't spoon feeding, it's just a guide! Well, ok, I'll give you a hint. Check out this link for the quest logs for these quests so you can work out your path. If at any point you manage to outlevel your quests, just find some mobs near your level - there's plenty in the Barrens - and grind on them until you hit the requisite level.
If you get really bored with Barrens you can head over to Silverpine forest. Some good quests there but it can be a bit of a pain due to the layout of the zone the large amounts of agro you find right off the path.


Levelling 20-25
At this point, it's time to incorporate Camp Taurajo in Southern Barrens to your leveling for some new, harder quests. However, there are still some very good quests from Crossroads and Ratchet that are worth doing. Lost In Battle and Consumed By Hatred which are given by Mankrik (20) are both good, as is the second part of Chen's Empty Keg as well as Egg Hunt which is given by Korran (22). Once you hit Taurajo, you should find the Blood Shards/Tribes At War series from Mangletooth (21-25) quite good, as well as the Gann's Reclamation series of quests from Gann Stonespire (23-26) who wanders on the road south of Camp Taurajo. The last part gives you a nice ring, but you'll need a friend or two to complete it. Now, these quests are hardly enough to level you from 20-25. I suggest you spend the time before, in between, and after these quests in Wailing Caverns, which is the level 20-25ish instance for Horde. You should do this because the XP there is very good, you'll learn some basic grouping skills, and you'll get some items, most of all is the Crescent Staff which you'll use until you're somewhere near 40. To add to the good XP, and to get the aforementioned staff, you'll need to pick up the Wailing Caverns quests in Thunder Bluff - Deviate Eradication from Ebru (21), Serpentbloom from Apothecary Zamah (1 (the plants for this quest inside the caverns can be seen using Find Herbs from the Herbalism profession), Leaders Of The Fang from Narah Wildmane (22). Also available is Smart Drinks from Mebok Mizzyrix (1 in Ratchet, who should be your old friend by now.

Leveling 18-25
This is in a separate section because you're going to zone hop into here a little from around 18-25 to Stonetalon Mountains, which is a short way west of the Crossroads along the road. At the entrance to the zone you'll find some quests from Makaba Flathoof (1 and Seereth Stonebreak (18-23). Also in Stonetalon are quest mobs and bits for various quests that begin in the Barrens, such as Deepmoss Spider Eggs from Mebok Mizzyrix (20). At some point, you'll want to head up to Sun Rock Retreat and grab the wind rider master. There are various quests here such as the Cycle Of Rebirth quests from Tammra Windfield (23) and Elemental War quests from Tsunaman (25), a talking water elemental who lives on a ridge just behind the retreat. There is also a small series of quests in the Charred Vale (it can be a pain to get here: take the hill over the back of Sun Rock, and when you hit a fork in the hill, left leads to Tsunaman and right leads to the vale) starting with Harpies Threaten from Maggran Earthbinder (26), although Charred Vale is such an add-filled place it's best to get a couple of friends and do the Elemental War quests at the same time as these, doing them a couple of levels below their requirement at the same time, so you don't have to come back here later. If you are on a PvP server keep in mind that you are at risk here. Might be a good idea to go later rather than sooner if that is the case.


Levelling 25-30 – Hillsbrad

If you are on a PvP server it may be to your advantage to skip this area. You will get ganked. You will get ganked a lot. Come to think of it don’t go. Go to Ashenvale instead.
Tons of kill quests, and a wide range of levels to fight. Also good for mining silk and greater healing potion reagents. Stay away from Alterac quests.
Let’s take a quick timeout. At this point (level 25ish) you've got some decent gear from your quests and instancing, and you've got enough talents to make you a decent soloer. You're hopefully finding out that Shadow Word: Pain + Mind Flay + Psychic Scream is awesome, and regeneration after a fight with Spirit Tap is awesome. Your Mind Flay is about to get better with Shadow Reach. It's time to blow off the Barrens and surrounding areas, and go check out Hillsbrad Foothills. Run to Orgrimmar, and if you're Undead, speak to the Priest trainer, Ur'kyo. He gives you a quest for a spell called Devouring Plague, which you'll come to know and love. Now go get the zeppelin from the south side of the station outside of Orgrimmar.
First of all, when you step off the zeppelin in Tirisfal, head into Undercity, grabbing the wind rider point if you don't have it already, and speak to Aelthalyste the Priest trainer. She'll complete your Devouring Plague quest and give you the spell. Next you've got a fairly long run all the way to Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad. You'll pass through Silverpine Forest and should stop off at The Sepulcher. You'll have outlevelled the quests there by now, so ignore them, but pick up the wind rider point anyway before you continue on your journey. When you reach Tarren Mill, grab the wind rider, and bind there; you'll be around here for a while.
The first quests to do are Elixir Of Suffering and Elixir Of Pain from Apothecary Lydon (22-24), The Rescue from Krusk (22) and WANTED: Syndicate Personnel from the wanted poster (22) on the church front before you outlevel them too much. They take quite a lot of kills to get the ingredients so you'll earn some good experience. Then grab the Battle Of Hillsbrad series first quest from High Executor Darthalia (25-30) and while you're doing that, you can complete Souvenirs Of Death from Deathguard Samsa (25). The last Battle Of Hillsbrad quest, in Dun Garok, can be a real pain, but a full group and some common sense make it very simple. You'll see what I mean when you get there. Also whilst doing the Battle Of Hillsbrad quests you can complete Dangerous!, again from High Executor Darthalia (2. More quests to do around Tarren Mill are the Elixir Of Agony series from our pal Apothecary Lydon (28-30), and Humbert's Sword from Deathguard Humbert (30) (which both require going into the Dun Garok where the final part of The Battle Of Hillsbrad is completed, so try to get them done together. Incidentally, Humbert's sword is a random drop from any mob in there).
For the time you aren't questing in this level range, I recommend grinding killing the same people that you kill for The Battle Of Hillsbrad quests. They're in plentiful supply; they drop decent cash, decent vendor-able items, and silk cloth.

Levelling 25-30 – Ashenvale
Ashenvale is much safer on PvP servers than Hillsbrad. You will still be running into Alliance, especially Night Elves (which means rogues more often than not,) but they should be close to your level.

I did not go there so I can’t give you any info on the quests. Thottbot is your friend.


Levelling 30-32 – 1000 Needles
Now we're rollin'. You're Level 30, which means you have Vampiric Embrace, the first key part in your arsenal of becoming ridiculously powerful. If you're playing on a PvP server, you're either loving or hating the constant war that rages around Tarren Mill and the alliance city of Southshore by now! But fear not, because we're going to take a short break from this area and hop on back over to Kalimdor and on down to Thousand Needles!
Once you get back off the zeppelin near Orgrimmar, fly to the Crossroads and run all the way south to The Great Lift (which you probably discovered in your 20's when you were ignoring my guide and exploring, tut tut!) and get the Message To Freewind Post quest from Brave Moonhorn (25). Head between the pillars of stone and on up to Freewind Post, (bind there) where you will be able to grab the wind rider point, turn in your message to obtain the Pacify The Centaur quest series from Cliffwatcher Longhorn (25-2, who also gives Grimtotem Spying. Whilst completing Grimtotem Spying you may happen upon an escort side quest, so it's a good idea to take a couple of friends up to do that one, as you won't complete the escort quest alone. Also available is the Alien Egg series from Hagar Lightninghoof (26-29). One part of this quest involves you swimming underwater gathering weeds and killing water elementals that get in your way; these are great for stocking up on water to drink, and also good experience. It's great being undead with a huge breath bar. I'd grind there for a while. Make sure you check out Hypercapacitor Gizmo (with a friend) from Wizlo Bearingshearer (30), who can be found just north of Freewind Post near a wrecked caravan. You get a decent little ring and a great xp reward for killing a mob that is about 10 seconds north of him.

27-34 Salt Flats/ Shimmering Flats

Moving on south of Thousand Needles brings you to its sub-zone, Shimmering Flats. The quests here are located in three separate Goblin encampments which are roughly North, Southwest, and Southeast of the centre of the flats. Incidentally, this whole zone is a big goblin racetrack. It's very cool. There are an abundance of quests requiring lots of travel time. Ignore them unless you need a break from fighting. The real gems here are the pickup-items-from-the-ground style quests and the kill quests, all of which don't send you any farther than the flats themselves. Check out all of the quests on offer from the NPCs there, and you'll soon find them all. You have all of Load Lightening from Pozzik (30), Hardened Shells from Wizzle Brassbolts (30), Salt Flat Venom from his brother Fizzle Brassbolts (30), Rocket Car Parts from Kravel Koalbeard (31), and A Bump In The Road from Trackmaster Zherin (33) to do. Also make sure you also pick up Hemet Nesingwary from Kravel Koalbeard (31), as you'll be seeing a lot of Hemet soon.

There is a small alliance presence, but horde numbers are much greater. Lots of good quests here, including a bunch of elites with awesome rewards (one of the best swords you can get for levels 34).


28-33 - Arathi Highlands.
Few kill quests, but mostly good grinding stuff.

30-35 - Stranglethorn Vale.
Take the Zeppelin to Grom’Gol and ignore the quests there for now. You need to run north to Hemet Nesingwary’s camp. You may want to look on Thottbot for the location but essentially it is right on the river near the northernmost bridge. You can finish the quest from Shimmering Flats and then grab a few quests in the camp that have you running all over the 10 foot wide camp. After that you will see quests available from just about everyone in the camp. These quests will have you killing steadily harder levels of Tigers, Panthers, and Raptors. These quests are available to Alliance as well so if you are on a PvP server you need to keep your eyes open. Your level at the time you are here will dictate when you leave. Once the quest beasts are too hard to kill easily you should move on to Desolace, Arathi Highlands, or Hillsbrad.

33-36 - Desolace.
So many centaurs... Watch out for useless quests. Best spot to farm grave moss (kodo graveyard). Stay away from the naga quests.

Levelling 34-37 – Hillsbrad, Alterac Mountains

Say it with me: I HATE Hillsbrad! I hope you meant it, because we're going back there now. If you are on a PvP server however you may want to think twice. And then go somewhere else. This is the first stage of leveling where grinding - that is, killing mobs instead of questing - becomes the most efficient form of XP. Grab the quests Prison Break-in from Magus Wordeen Voidglare (35), Bracers Of Binding from Keeper Bel'Varil (34), and Infiltration from Krusk (34). Head up into Alterac Mountains from Tarren Mill, complete Infiltration, get it's follow up quest, then go up into the mountains again and head west. You'll find lots of low-mid 30's Yetis. Kill these until you're level 35 and some more. They're great XP, and will give you the first taste of just how effective a soloer you can be. Using the sequence of Mind Blast/Shadow Word: Pain/Mind Flay/Psychic Scream/Mind Flay/Mind Flay you should kill many of these mobs. Let your spirit tap regen work for 15 seconds between each kill. If your feared mob pulls another one, deal with that too, and then take a drink. The only time you should need to drink is if you get an add, when you rebuff yourself, or after about 20 minutes of near-constant killing. When you're bored of grinding, head west off the mountain and complete the two quests near Dalaran. Go hand them in at Tarren Mill, then get the second quest from Wordeen, and do that too, as well as the follow up quest to Infiltration from Krusk, the name of which escapes me, but has you eventually go and do the quest Lord Aliden Perinolde on the east side of Lordamere Lake. He's easy enough to kill at a slightly lower level (36ish) even though he's level 40 (he might have been 42, I forget), but he does heal himself irregularly and has infinite mana, so bring a friend or two with decent damage capabilities. You probably won't be 37 yet, so go and grind to 37 on Crushridge Ogres, which you will have encountered earlier on the way to the yetis and whilst completing Krusk's quests. WoW ogres have little hp and hit quite hard; perfect fodder for a caster who keeps his target feared most of the time.

36-40 - Swamp of Sorrows

Great grinding/money spot, towards the end there are some decent kill quests along the far east coast. For the harder murlocks hit up the cave in the SE section. These levels will fly by

37-45 Badlands, Stranglethorn Vale, Faralas

Now it's on to the Badlands, where you get to deal with 8billion coyotes running all over, and earth elementals on every single border Nah; it is a pretty good zone, with some good quests. Keep in mind it has MAJOR agro though. Miners will love it because there is a ton of ore to be had here, mostly iron, some silver/gold/mithril. You can also head to Tanaris at some point, where there are another good supply of quests. Ooops almost forgot Grom'Gol in Stranglethorn Vale. A huge amount of quests here, including 1 for a 14 slot bag at level 37 (Cortello’s Riddle.) Make sure you don't skip this area, lots of great stuff here. Almost forgot Faralas as well. Not a lot of quests here, but it is an absolutely gorgeous zone. There is 1 long questline that ends with an amazing weapon, no matter what your class (4 to choose from).

43-48 – Tanaris

Not many quests except for Zul Farrak (one of the elite instances w/5-6 quests, very worth running through), but tons of stuff to grind from. Rocs give the most loot to sell, ogres drop mageweave by the assloads, and the dogs go down easy as hell. Watch out for the useless "go find this" quests.

48-50 - Searing Gorge

If you are a frost mage, this will be heaven to you. Stay on the northern side of the zone to fight tons of quickly respawning golems. Also, lots of fire elementals for some of those hard to get fire items needed in crafting. No wind rider.

48 – 57 – Felwood

From Zhitto: Tailors should grind on the furbolgs in Felwood for good faction with the Timbermaw Furbolgs.

50-51 - Un-Goro crater

This place blew. Do the kill quests, use Thott to find exactly where everything you need to kill spawns, and then leave. The quests give nice xp, but there's a much better place to grind off of which I'll mention next... You can get there from Tanaris. No wind rider.

From deBunzing:
If you only do the kill quests in Crater you're shooting yourself in the foot. There's some REALLY easy experience there. Crystals + pylons for example, or how about the Linken quest line? You can fly through two or three levels just with Crater quests.

52-54 - Western Plaguelands

For some reason, monsters here are incredibly easy... and drop runecloth. I don't think there's a wind rider, but it's really close to UC

54-?? - Burning Steppes

I've found a few mobs that go down easier than the easy ghouls at WP that were 5 levels lower. They are usually to the north. I'll let you guys explore yourself to find them. Again, this is an ideal place for a frost mage, as well as the staging ground for one of the all around best instances in the game for everyone: BRD. Because you'll be reaching about the end of your grinding here, go ahead and take some runs through the instance. The gear is well worth it

This is top dollar, really man, thanks alot, I just dinged, after 1 and a half hour of grinding in Duskwood.

Here is a way to kill these dudes in 12 sec (for Shadow Priests)

Start pulling with Mind Blast
Then dot your enemy with Shadow Word: Pain
Then do your Vampiric Embrace
Then shield up.
Go Mind Flay (Now your Mind blast CD will be over)
Use Mind Blast and use Mind Flay.

The enemy sometimes land on 10 hp when you're done, then just wand to death. Hope you can use it.

And +rep to you Daxo :>
