Level 1 to 6 Horde

Depending on your race you will start in Durotar (Trolls and Orcs), Mulgore (Tauren) or Tirisfal Glades (Undead).

Each race has their own quests for the first 10 levels. If you are completely new to World of Warcraft, just right-click on the guys with the giant yellow (!) above their heads and they will give you a list of items to collect or a number of mobs to kill. Go kill and collect and the (!) will be replaced with a giant yellow (?). Right-click again and complete the quest. They will give you an item or some cash as well as a good amount of experience. It's worth doing these low level quests since they will make up the bulk of your experience, and hence levelling, for the first few levels.

As you search for mobs to complete the quests, kill everything and anything in your path that gives experience. This advice will serve you well right up to level 60. Don't waste time finding groups unless you are lonely, it will only slow you down.

As an example, I will describe the first few levels of the a Tauren Shaman.

Life starts at level one at Camp Narache in Mulgore. Your first quest will be right in front of you with Grull Hawkwind:



He wants you to bring him 7 Plainstrider feathers and 7 Plainstrider Meat. Head off to the North east and you will see a group of level 1 and 2 Plainstriders ready and waiting. Pull each mob with a lightning bolt, bash them with your trusty mace and gather whatever they drop.

Gather the 7 of each item and return to Grull. He will now have a (?) above his head:



Right-click on him again and complete the quest. You will receive 170 experience and a new leather belt. Equip the belt. Congratulations, you are now level 2.

Equip any upgraded item you have looted and sell the rest of the items to any vendor in the camp. Use the cash from the items to visit Meela Dawnstrider for further training.

Grull will now have two more quests for you – Rune Enscribed Note and The Hunt Continues. Go into the nearby hut and accept the quest A Humble Task from Chief Hawkwind. Completing these, and the subsequent quests from the Chief and Seer Graytongue, quests will take you to level 4 or close to it. Kill a few more of any mob to reach level 4 if you aren't there already.

Go back to Grull and accept The Battleboars quest, Break Sharptusk from Brave Windfeather and Call of Earth from Seer Ravenfeather, both standing nearby.

Completing the final Kodo Rock quests will take you to level 6. If not, killing a few more of the nearby Battleboar will get you there.

Go back to get final training from Mella Dawnstrider.

I know it's hard to leave the comfort and safety of Camp Narache, but you are level 6 now and it's time to move on and make your mark in the world. Make your way to Bloodhoof Village. Your final unfinished task, Rites of the Earthmother will lead you there. Pick up the delivery quest from Antur Fallow on the way. Head into the Inn in the village and make this your home location for now.

This is a good time to take a break from the game and go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Logging out while in an Inn will give you additional rest experience.
