If you are Tauren.. while creating this
guide yesterday :)
Taurens, you will most likely be starting in Bloodhoof Village, or at least
have a good idea of how to get there. Starting at Bloodhoof, head east 7 weeks ago
until you hit the border between Mulgore and The Barrens. The southern
barrens has mobs of a much higher level than you are right now, so stick to more
the roads as you head east towards Camp Taurajo. (Follow the blue dots on
the map above.) Once you get there, talk to the Wind Rider Master to get
the Flight path, then pick up [10] The Barrens Oases and [12] Journey to
the Crossroads from Kirge Sternhorn. Once that's done, hit the road north
out of Taurajo. This is a long-ish run, but completely necessary. When you
arrive at the crossroads, talk to Thork to finish your quest. Once that's done,
talk to Jahan Hawkwing to get [10] A bundle of hides. This quest involves
flying to Thunder Bluff, dropping the hides off and riding back. You can
handle this yourself. Complete the entire quest chain, and when you're back
at the Crossroads, start on Part 2.
If you are a Troll or an Orc..
I shall assume you are starting in Razor Hill. At the western gates of Razor
Hill, you'll find Takrin Pathseeker. Talk to him and pick up [12] Conscript of
the Horde, then head west, following the road, until you meet a bridge.
Cross the bridge, find the guard tower nearby, and talk to Kargal Battlescar.
Get the follow up, [12] Crossroads Conscript. Your next order of business is
to get to the Crossroads. Follow the road west until you meet a junction,
then turn south. The crossroads is a short walk ahead of you. (Follow the red
dots on the map above.) When you arrive, pick up [10] Meats to Orgrimmar
from Zargh. This is a short quest to get you used to flying between Wind
Riders. I won't talk you through this quest, as it's simple enough to do.
Complete the entire quest chain, then move on to Part 2.
If you are Undead..
GO HOME! ..seriously though, as undead you will be starting in Brill. Hop on

a Zeppelin, which will fly you to Orgrimmar. (If you end up in Stranglethorn,
you hopped the wrong Zeppelin. =p) From Orgrimmar, run south down the
road to Razor Hill, then turn west and head straight for the Barrens. Don't
worry about [12] Conscript of the Horde, undead players won't be able to
pick this up. Just follow the red dots on the map, and get to the crossroads.
You will also be unable to do the Wind Rider quests for the crossroads, which
will leave you with a slight experience deficit compared to the other races,
so be prepared to plug some holes with some grinding later in this guide.
Now, even with all that running around, you should now be about a third of
the way through level 12. And we didn't even kill anything yet! )
Part 2 From Plainstriders to Kolkar
Before you start, set your hearthstone to The Crossroads.

The first thing we'll do is gather all the quests available at the crossroads.
These should be..
[11] Wharfmaster Dizzywig

[12] Disrupt the Attacks
[12] Plainstrider Menace
[13] Raptor Thieves
[13] The Forgotten Pools
[14] Supplies for The Crossroads
[15] Fungal Spores
Got them all? Good! Now from now on, and this is important, kill every
raptor you see until you have completed [13] Raptor Thieves. Do not go
looking for them, but if you pass one, kill it. If you are on the quest, any
Raptor in the barrens will drop a Raptor Head for you, so you'll only need to
kill 12 of them. We are in no rush with this quest, but we do want it out of
the way, because eventually, we'll need the followup.
Now, let us begin. Head east out of the crossroads and kill any Plainstriders
you see. They should be right outside the town. Start moving south, and
walk clockwise around The Crossroads, killing Plainstriders and Raptors as
you go. Once you have completed [12] Plainstrider Menace, get back into
town, talk to Sergena Darkthorn and get the followup, [13] The Zhevra.
1. Next, we're going to head West to a little bunker, which can be found at
45,28 for anyone that uses coordinates. If you don't read the addons section
at the begining of the guide, or just use the map above. On your way there,
kill any Zhevras and Raptors that you pass, but don't worry too much about
them at this point. Once at the bunker, you will find Regthar Deathgate,
who will offer you two quests. [14] Centaur Bracers and [16] Kolkar
Leaders. Take them both.
2. Start running north, continueing to kill Zhevras and Raptors. You should
see a few Centaur camps up ahead. Keep away from the tents, and run north
into the trees, picking off the Centaurs you see one by one. Keep an eye
open for big blue mushrooms! They are Fungal Spores and are needed for a
quest you're on. They are most common around the lake there. Grab four of
them to complete [15] Fungal Spores.
Once you've collected all your spores, get back into the lake, and look for a
crack in the floor with some bubbles flowing out of it. Swim over the
bubbles to complete [13] The Forgotten Pools.
3. Now, the tricky part. Start moving west towards 43,24, killing Centaurs as
you go, being careful to fight them one on one. When you get there, you will
see a small gazeebo-like building up on a hill. Just outside that building will
be Barak Kodobane, with one patroller nearby. CAREFULLY pull the patroller,
and kill him one on one. Take a quick look around for any patrols, then Kill
Barak Kodobane. He is Level 16, which will make this a difficult fight, but
definately a possible one. He uses a bow to attack you from range, and runs
away at low health. Don't worry if you die, just go back and try again. Once
he is dead, start grinding on Centaur around the Forgotten Pools until you
ding level 13. Make sure you loot the Centaur Bracers that they drop for
[14] Centaur Bracers. Do not worry if you don't get all 15. There'll be
plenty of opportunity to get them later.
If you can't kill Barak Kodobane..

If you try really hard to kill Barak, but still die, don't worry! Just grind on the
Centaur in the area until you ding level 13, then try again. One level can
make a huge difference!
4. Once you level, head south to the bunker and turn in [16] Kolkar
Leaders, then get the followup, [18] Verog the Dervish. While you're there,
kill off any more Zhevra you need for [13] The Zhevra.
5. Now start heading back to The Crossroads. When you get there, turn in
the following quests..
[13] The Zhevra

[13] The Forgotten Pools
[15] Fungal Spores
And get the followups..
[15] Prowlers of the Barrens

[18] The Stagnant Oasis
DO NOT get [15] Apothecary Zamah yet. It is a timed quest, and we're not
ready to do it just yet.
Done? Good job. You should now be about 1/3rd through level 13. Sell your
grey items, restock any food or water that you need, grab a cup of coffee,
and get ready for Part 3!
Part 3 Razormanes, Prowlers, and Pirates
1. Head north out of The Crossroads. On your right, you should find a small
camp of Razormane Quillboars. Kill these until you have completed [12]
Disrupt The Attacks. If you run out of quillboar, head further east to the
side of the mountain. There should be plenty there for you to kill.
2. Once you're done with Razormanes, head north until you hit the road,
then walk East. Stay on the road until you see a Guard Tower, right before
you hit the river. (Trolls and Orcs will remember this tower from [12]
Crossroads Conscript.) From there, start heading south. There are a few
raptors in this area, try to kill them all as you move south, until you
complete [13] Raptor Thieves. (If you've been killing raptors as you see
them, you should only be 4 or 5 heads away from being done.) Follow the
road all the way south, until you reach Ratchet.
3. While we're here, we're going to scoop up some quests and take the
Ratchet flightpath. As you approach the town from the north, you'll see a
green hut on your right. Inside, you will find Gazlowe who will give you [14]
Southsea Freebooters. Leave the hut, walk south some, and find
Sputtervalve who will give you [14] Samophlange. Next, you'll find a
wanted poster on the wall of the Bank. Get [16] WANTED Baron Longshore
from it. While you're here, pop out onto the pier and talk to Wharfmaster
Dizzywig. Complete [11] Wharfmaster Dizzywig, and pick up [18] Miner's
Fortune. One more quest to pick up.. as you head south out of Ratchet, stop
at Captain Thalo'thas Brightsun and get [20] The Guns of Northwatch.
4. All done? Lovely. Now head south along the coast until you find the
pirates. Kill these until you have completed [14] Southsea Freebooters. If
you find Baron Longshore, please don't try to kill him just yet. We'll be
coming back this way soon enough anyway, and he is very difficult to kill at
the moment. We can put him off until we're a little more prepared.
5. When the pirates are all dead, head back to Gazlowe, turn in, and get
the follow up, [14] The Missing Shipment. This is a short quest which will
take you down to Wharfmaster Dizzywig by the water in Ratchet, then back
up to Gazlowe. Then, Gazlowe will give you another followup, [16] Stolen
Booty.
6. Head west out of Ratchet. As you leave the town, you will see a cliff to
the north. Walk around that cliff and towards 60,35 (or the big number 6 on
the map above.) This place should be full of Savanah Prowlers. Search in
the long grass. Kill them until you've completed [15] Prowlers of the
Barrens.
7. When that's done, head back to The Crossroads, turn in your quests,
restock food and water, sell greys, and repair. Congrats on level 14!
Get the following quests
[15] The Disruption Ends

[16] Echeyakee
[18] Stolen Silver
To Thunder Bluff!
Before you do anything else, look for Mankrik in The Crossroads. He's near
the gate to the South. Since you turned 14, he now has two quests for you,
[20] Consumed by Hatred and [20] Lost in Battle. Take them both. Now,
remember that quest we DIDN'T get from Apothecary Helbrim? We're about
to get it. Talk to him (He's in The Crossroads, near the Wind Rider Master)
and get [15] Apothecary Zamah. For anyone who isn't Tauren, this quest is a
waste of time experience wise, but we're going to do it anyway. Why? One
reason. Flight paths. In this run, non-taurens will pick up flight paths for
Camp Taurajo and Thunder Bluff, both very important places.
If you are Tauren..

Remember the long run you had to do just to get to The Crossroads? Well, it's
about to pay off! Fly straight to Thunder Bluff and turn in [15] Apothecary
Zamah. Zamah is found in the Pools of Vision, which is beneath Thunder
Bluff's Spirit Rise. While you're there, pick up [18D] Serpentbloom. When
you are done with him, find a trainer, pick up your level 14 spells, put any
green items you collected on the auction house, repair, sell greys, or do
anything else you need to in Thunder Bluff.
When you're all done, fly to Camp Taurajo. From there, head north to 49,50
and search the two tauren buildings you find for a corpse. "Talk" to it to
complete [20] Lost in Battle, then hearthstone back to The Crossroads, and
turn your quest in at Mankrik to the south side of the town.
If you are NOT Tauren..
This will be a long run, and will lower your exp rate a lot. But it's more than
worth it for the flight paths, which you'll have to pick up eventually anyway.
Follow the road south towards Camp Taurajo. Note that Mankrik's Wife is on
your route. Pop off the road, and talk to her. She can be found at 49,50,
near a few small tauren buildings. When you've talked to her, head south a
little more to Camp Taurajo and pick up the flight path. Then follow the
road West and into Mulgore. Continue along the road until you reach
Bloodhoof Village, and follow the road north. Eventually, it will lead you to
Thunder Bluff.
When you get there, head to the Pools of Vision, underneath Spirit Rise.
Turn in [15] Apothecary Zamah, and get the quest [18D] Serpentbloom
from him. Now, go learn your level 14 spells (rogues and warlocks will have
to fly to Orgrimmar), visit auction house, and take care of any other business
you have in town. When you're done, fly back to The Crossroads.
While you are at The Crossroads, turn in your "Lost in Battle" quest at
Mankrik.
Part 4 Samophlange, Echeyakee, and other unpronouncables.

This will be our longest run yet. Ready?
1. The Samophlange. Head north to 52,12, where you will find a small
Goblin hut, and a big piece of machinery. Inside the machinery is a Control
Console. You'll have to kill a few Venture Co. Peons to get at it. Fight your
way into it, and interract with it. Get the followup.
Once that's done, you'll have to run a circle around the machinery, turning
valves off. There are three in all, one at the left side, one at the right side,
and one at the back. Clear off the area and use the valves. Some Peons
spawn when you turn a valve, but it's nothing you can't handle. When you've
turned all the valves, go back to the control console. Get the followup.
2. Now you're being asked to retrieve a Console Key from Tinkerer Sniggles,
who can be found inside the hut, at 53,11. He is level 16, and can easily be
fought one on one. Loot him, then head back to the Control Console.
3. Clear off the mobs around the console again, interract with it, complete
the quest. At this point, you can throw away the Control Console Operating
Manual in your inventory. It does nothing but waste space.
4. Echeyakee. A fancy name for an easy mob. Move south towards 55,16.
You'll find some tall grass, a few Savanah Prowlers, and some Kodo Bones
sticking out from the ground. Kill off a few Prowlers, as many as it takes to
get a nice clear area to fight Echeyakee. When you feel safe, search your
inventory for your Horn of Echeyakee and blow it. The moment you do,
Echeyakee will spawn, and more often than not, attack you immediately.
Fight him off, and loot his hide.
5. Still moving south, head towards where we killed the Razormanes earlier.
Head further East to around 58,24 and look for Razormane Geomancers and
Razormane Defenders. Start killing these, and start moving south a little.
There is a large camp at 58,26, filled mostly with Razormane Mystics, which
you do not need. Inside the camp though, you'll find Kreenig Snarlsnout. Kill
him, and once he's dead, start searching the camps where you found him.
Look for a stack of orange boxes. These are Crossroads Supply Crates, and
are needed for [14] Supplies for the Crossroads. Grab a box, and head
south again, towards Ratchet.
6. Once you get to Ratchet, turn in [16] Samophlange at Sputtervalve and

get the followup, [14] Wenikee Boltbucket. Also turn in [16] Echeyakee
and to get the followup [17] The Angry Scytheclaws. Continue south
towards the Pirates.
7. Fight your way past the pirates, and make your way towards 62,49. USE
THE PICTURE BELOW. There are two boxes for you to find here, and are
fairly difficult to find. One is in a pirate camp, fairly close to the water. The
other is in the west, fairly close to the mountains. Find them both. Once you
have them, search for Baron Longshore, who you'll find in one of the nearby
pirate camps. Kill him, and head back to Ratchet.
8. In Ratchet, head back to Gazlowe and turn in [16] WANTED Baron

Longshore and [16] Stolen Booty. Also get [18] Raptor Horns from Mebok
Mizzyrix, who is right next to the bank. If you aren't Level 15 now, you
should be really, really close.
9. Now head southwest towards the Stagnant Oasis, which you'll find at
55,42, killing Kolkar as you go. When you get to the water, start looking for
another Bubbly Fissure. Beware the turtles, they're aggressive. Swim in and
use the fissure to complete [16] The Stagnant Oasis.
10. Time for another tough fight. Head west to 53,41. Look for another
centaur gazeebo-like building, up on a hill. We are looking for Verog the
Dervish, but he won't be here yet. Here is what you're going to do..
Near the gazeebo, you will find a couple of tents, and a few kolkar. Kill them
all. Eventually, after much killing, one of the Centaur will say "I am slain!
Summon Verog!" When you see this shout, head back to the gazeebo. Verog
should be standing there. Kill him and loot his head. This might be a tricky
fight, so try to have a health potion standing by.
11. At this point we're going to do a little grinding. Why? Well, we're now
standing in one of the best grinding spots for our level you'll find. Kolkar
Bloodchargers don't hit very hard at all, and have around 250-280 health.
They go down -very- fast, and are relatively easy to find. They also drop
Centaur Bracers, which we need for a quest. They also drop Linen Cloth at a
decent rate, which we can sell at auction. There are more Bloodchargers at
the east side of the oasis, so let's concentrate on that area. Also worth
noting, if you run our of convenient Centaurs to kill, don't be afraid to go
into the lake and kill a few Oasis Snapjaws.
Grind here until you are level 16. For me, this was around 80 kills, but it
may differ depending on how many Peons, Prowlers and Pirates and Turtles
you had to kill to get to your previous objectives.
12. Now head west, past the crossroads, to Regthar Deathgate's Bunker.
Turn in [14] Centaur Bracers and [18] Verog the Dervish, and get the
followup, [16] Hezrul Bloodmark. Then head back to the Crossroads.
13. At The Crossroads and turn in [16] The Stagnant Oasis, [14] Supplies
for The Crossroads and [15] The Disruption Ends, get the follow up
[16]Altered Beings. Repair, restock, and fly to Thunder Bluff if you're
tauren, or Ogrimmar if you're not. Auction off your greens, retrain in spells,
and take care of any other business, and fly to Camp Taurajo.
NOTE Remember at the start of the guide, i recommended that you should
have 10 slot bags? Well, since then we've had a chance to get some gold
together from grey sales to vendors and cloth/greens selling at auction. Bag
space is important. As expensive as it may seem, it'll earn you money in the
long run. So while you're in town, get a few bags. The bigger the better; you
might regret buying smaller bags, but you sure as hell won't regret buying
large ones later on in the game.
Part 5 From Raptors to Hezrul
We will begin the next part from Camp Taurajo, so fly there now and set
your hearthstone to the inn there. Let me say that one more time so no one
has an excuse.. SET YOUR HEARTHSTONE TO CAMP TAURAJO. Done? Good!
1. Using the map above, head towards the Raptor Grounds. Be careful not
to run through the Bristleback Quillboar camps, they're more trouble than
they're worth right now. When you get to the Raptor Grounds, start killing.
They tend to stand in pairs, but it's easy enough to kill them off one by one.
Right at the back of the Raptor Grounds, a group of 3 raptors guard the
Stolen Silver, at the southeastern most camp. One of these can be pulled
solo. The other two you'll have to fight together, unless you're able to
polymorph or hibernate one. Kill them both and loot the silver.
Stay at the Raptor Grounds, killing any loose raptors you find until you have
5 Intact Raptor Horns for [18] Raptor Horns and at least 3 Sunscale Feathers
for [17] The Angry Scytheclaws. When you have the silver, the horns, and
the feathers all collected, move on.
2. Move north to 52,46. you will find more raptors here, guarding some
nests. Every single one of these raptors can be pulled one at a time, if you're
careful. Clear the area, then drop one Sunscale Feather on each of the three
nests.
3. Head to mark number 3 on the map above, the Lushwater Oasis. Fight
your way to the water, then begin killing Oasis Snapjaws, and loot 8 of their
shells for [16] Altered Beings.
4. Here is another one of those difficult fights. We're going to take on

Hezrul Bloodmark. Hezrul patrols around Lushwater Oasis and is level 19.
But he isn't alone. He walks with two guards, who are anywhere between
levels 13 and 16. You can't just run in blind and expect to win this fight, so
here's the tactic i used.
First of all.. FIND HIM! He patrols Clockwise around the Oasis, and spawns
right outside the Wailing Caverns. Once you've located him, take a look at
his guards, and decide which of the two guards is the WEAKEST. If you are
able, polymorph, sap, root, or use any other crowd control you have on
Hezrul himself. Kill the weakest guard first, then run away. Eventually,
they'll stop chasing you, and go back to where you first fought them. Drink,
eat, get your strength back. Then, use any crowd control effects you have on
Hezrul again and kill the second guard. Then escape again. This should
leave Hezrul all alone. Get your strength back, and attack him directly. A
little patience makes this a simple enough fight, but if you have any potions,
be prepared to use them. good luck!
5. Run a little further north to Regthar's Bunker and complete [19] Hezrul
Bloodmark. Do not take the followup. The next quest in this chain is a
script that involves killing wave after wave of 15-16 Centaurs, followed by a
level 20 elite Centaur, while still dealing with more waves of the 15-16 ones.
It shouldn't be attempted alone until much later on.
6. Run all the way east to Ratchet. Finish up [18] Raptor Horns, and take
the followup, [18D] Smart Drinks. You will also find a Wailing Caverns quest
in Ratchet worth picking up, [18D] Trouble at the Docks from Crane
Operator Bigglefuzz who you'll find near the water.
7. Now return to the Crossroads and turn in [16] Altered Beings. This quest
has two followups. One of them leads to the Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest,
which is a timewaste for us. The other, [16D] Hamuul Runetotem, is worth
getting. Also, turn in [17] The Angry Scytheclaws (get the follow up), and
[18] Stolen Silver. This should make you Ding level 17. While you're here, be
sure to get [19] Report to Kadrak.
Before we go any further, I want you to check your Quest log and make sure
you are on all of these quests. If you are not, something has gone wrong
somewhere (If you didn't get to turn in .

Part 6 Walkabouts
This is a guide to The Barrens, so the next part might shock you. Y'see.. we
aren't staying in The Barrens for this run. We are going walkabouts. Note
that if you are on a PvP or PvPRP server, you will be Flagged for bits of this
run. Hold your nerve and you should do fine. After part 5, you should be
standing in the middle of The Crossroads. Let us begin.
1. Start walking north, following the road, until you reach the Mor'shan
Rampart. Pretty much as soon as you hit this area, you will see Wenikee
Boltbucket on your right, standing at 50,11 or so. Talk to her to complete
[14] Wenikee Boltbucket, and get the followup.
2. Now, we're going east again, towards 57,9, staying close to the mountain,
until you find Sludge Fen. To the north side of this area is a Goblin Shredder
with a quest for you. Talk to it, and get [18] Ignition!. This quest involves
killing Supervisor Lugwizzle, who you'll find at the top of the large tower
slightly to the south, in the middle of the water. Start climbing the tower,
killing as you go. Also, stop to loot any Tool Buckets you see. Those contain
Nugget Slugs, which you need for a quest. Kill Lugwizzle, jump off the tower
(aiming for the water, of course) and get back to the shredder.
3. The guy in the shredder will now offer [18] The Escape. This is a really
easy escort mission. Accept it. When we first start, the shredder will run
around at random for a little while, until the goblin learns to control it.
While he's doing this, start making long pulls and killing the Drudgers and
Mercenaries to the west of you. When he works out the controls, he'll start
walking West. Continue to make long pulls. It will take him a second or two
to notice when you're fighting things, but stay close to him and he WILL
notice eventually. Try not to let things run away. After a short while, the
shredder will turn north up a ramp, and stop. When this happens, two
Venture Co. mobs will spawn and attack you. It should be an easy fight. Once
they're dead, the mission will end. Now, patrol the area looting any more
Nugget Slugs you need until you have completed [15] Nugget Slugs.
If you DO NOT have the Orgrimmar Flight Path..
Taurens, it is time for you to visit the Horde's capital if you haven't already.
(If you already have, skip this part) Trolls and Orcs should already have this
flight path, so skip ahead. Undead, if you didn't pick it up yet, now is the
best time.
Walk East, and don't stop walking until you reach a river. When you hit the
river, turn North towards 64,3 on the Barrens map. Here you will find a
bridge, and over the bridge, you will find the little known and hugely under
used Orgrimmar West Gate. Ask a guard where the Wind Rider Master is,
then go find him. He is at the top of the Skytower in the Valley of Strength.
When you're done, leave Orgrimmar via the West gate again, and head back
to Sludge Fen. Then, continue the guide.
4. Head back to Wenikee Boltbucket and complete [15] Nugget Slugs. Take
the followup. Now run north, to the very top of the Mor'shan Rampart, and
find Kadrak. He should be in the 1st floor of a guard tower, 48,5 for those
who use coordinates. Turn in [19] Report to Kadrak and get the followup,
[19] The Warsong Reports.
5. We are now going to do [19] The Warsong Reports. This quest is a waste
of time exp wise, but earns us flight paths in Ashenvale, and is therefore
worth it.
NOTE Click the image above to see a larger map.
Follow the road north until you reach Ashenvale. Take a look at the map
above. Our first stop will be on the middle floor of a guard tower, just
outside Splintertree Post. Follow the purple dots to get there.Open your
stack of warsong reports, and give one of them to the guard with a Blue
question mark over her head. Remember to give her only one, or you won't
have enough to go around. Then head into Splintertree Post and Get the
Flight path. When you're done there, follow the Blue dots to the second
guard. This guard patrols the road outside Satyrnaar, and unfortunately is
frequently ganked by Alliance members on most servers. (Although she is
civilian, she is the same level as most people in this part of Ashenvale, and
therefore doesn't give a DK). Give her a report, then turn back and head
west. Get back to the junction, and follow the yellow dots all the way west
to Zoram'gar Outpost, being very careful to avoid Astranaar, the major
Alliance settlement in this zone. When you get there, hand out the last
report, get the flight path, and fly to The Crossroads.
6. Take care of any business you might have in The Crossroads, repairs,
restocking, selling grey items etc. Then leave the town through the West
gate, and follow the road until you come to the border with Stonetalon
Mountains. We're going to do a few quests here. Right on the border, you'll
see a few Horde NPC's right next to the road. Stop and pick up [18] Avenge
My Village.
7. A tiny bit northwest, at about 81,88 you will find Camp Aparaje, a
deserted Tauren village with a few camps of Grimtotem Ruffians and
Grimtotem Mercenaries. These are both very, very easy for you to kill right
now. So go ahead and kill until you have completed [18] Avenge My Village.
Once they're all dead, head back to the NPC's at the border.
8. Find Makaba Flathoof at the border and turn in [18] Avenge My Village.
Get the followup, [18] Kill Grundig Darkcloud.
9. Follow the road west until 70,87, then turn northeast and follow the road
into the grimtotem settlement, killing as you go. At 73,86 you'll find a tent.
Standing at the entrance to this tent is, amazingly enough, Grundig
Darkcloud. Kill him. Before you leave, kill 6 Grimtotem Brutes to complete
the quest, then walk into the tent where you found Grundig. Inside you will
find Kaya Flathoof. Get yourself ready, then talk to her, and take her quest,
[18] Protect Kaya. This is an escort mission. She will walk West out of the
grimtotem settlement, then start following the road Southast. Nothing
should challenge you for this one. When she gets to the middle of Camp
Aparaje, you will be ambushed by 3 grimtotems at once. Be ready to pull
aggro off Kaya as soon as this happens, as she dies very quickly. Kill them,
and the mission ends.
10. Head back to the border, and turn in [18] Kill Grundig Darkcloud and
[18] Protect Kaya. Get the followup [18] Kaya's Alive, and then hit the
road northwest again.
11. At 71,95, you'll find a Darkspear Troll settlement called Malaka'Jin.

There you'll find Xen'zilla, who'll offer the quest [19] Blood Feeders. Take
it, then get back on the road northwest.
12. We are now going to do the two Spider quests you have at the moment.
Keep following the road 'til about 57,76, then go into Sishir Canyon, on your
left. Here you'll find all the spiders you could ever want. You will also see
Deepmoss Eggs, which you can loot for your quest [20] Deepmoss Spider
Eggs. These contain either 2 or 3 eggs in my experience, so you don't need as
many as you think. Be aware though that looting them causes some
Deepmoss Hatchlings to spawn, so make sure the area is clear and that
you're ready for a fight. Gather all the eggs you need and kill the spiders you
need for [19] Blood Feeders. Avoid the elite in the area, we'll get her later.
13. At this point, you should be Level 18, or close to it. If you are not, grind
on the spiders until you ding.When you do, leave Sishir Canyon and head
north. At around 52,60 you'll see a road heading west. Follow it, and it'll
lead you to Sunrock Retreat, the horde settlement in Stonetalon Mountains.
Get the flight path which should be to the north side of the lake there.
Complete the quest [18] Kaya's Alive at Tammra Windfield, who should be
near the biggest tent in Sunrock.
14. Walk back south to Malaka'Jin and complete [19] Blood Feeders. Then
hearthstone to Camp Taurajo.
Part 7 Boulder Lode Mine
A nice short part now. You should now be standing in Camp Taurajo. But this
isn't where we want to be, so fly to Thunder Bluff and head for Elder Rise.
When you get there, complete [16D] Hamuul Runetotem, then complete
the followup [16D] Nara Wildmane, which will earn you the quest [22D]
Leaders of the Fang, which is the main Wailing Caverns quest.
1. Now that you're done here, head to the Wind Rider Master and Fly to
Ogrimmar. When you get there, sell, repair, restock, visit the auction house,
Train in your level 18 spells and take care of anything else you need to.
When you're done, head to the Valley of Honor and look for Rilli Greasygob
(wonderful name, huh?). Talk to him, and get the quest [19] Samophlange
Manual. When you're done there, head out of Orgrimmar West Gate, which
you'll find at around 16,62 on the Ogrimmar map.
2. Very close by, at around 61,4 you should find Boulder Lode Mine. Fight
your way into the mine, and be VERY careful. This area is full of 17-18 mobs
that run away at low health and are packed incredibly tightly. Also, because
the area is so small inside the cave, respawn can and will bite you. At the
back of the cave, you'll find Boss Copperplug. Use the map below to help
you find him. Kill him, and loot the Samophlange Manual Cover from him.
Now fight your way out of the mine. You don't want to be in there for any
longer than you absolutely have to be. Once you are outside, keep killing the
Venture Co. mobs in the area until you have 5 Samophlange Manual Pages
and one Cats eye Emerald for [18] Miner's Fortune. First time i did this, I
got my emerald from the first mob i killed. Second time, i fought my way in
to copperplug, back out, and still had to grind for 5 minutes or so to get the
drop. Pure luck.
3. When you're all done, go west back to Mor'shan Rampart and turn in [19]
The Warsong Reports. When that's done, pat yourself on the back and stone
to Camp Taurajo. (If your Hearthstone isn't done cooling yet, run up to
Splintertree Post and fly to Taurajo.) When you get to Taurajo, complete
[19] Jorn Skyseer. Then get [19] Ishamuhale from Jorn Skyseer and [21]
Tribes at War from Mangletooth, who you'll find inside a cage, near the
wind rider master. Once that's done, move onto part 8.
Part 8 Bristlebacks, Northwatch, Ishumahale and Thunder Lizards
1. This is a nice big run, one of my favourites. Right now we have a lot of
quests for Bristleback Quillboar, which are found to the north of Taurajo.
That's where we're going now. Head to the first camp, which you'll find at
45,53. Kill any Water Seekers you see, try to get at least six, but if you
don't, don't worry. We can come back later, once they've spawned. Make sure
you loot any Bristleback Quilboar Tusks and Blood Shards. The tusks are for
[20] Consumed by Hatred, and the shards we will need later.
2. Keep moving north to 43,51. You will find another camp, this time
populated by Thornweavers, and a few others that we don't need. Kill as
many as you can find, but don't worry if you don't get all 12. We will return
here soon.
3. Further north again, this time to the Geomancer camp at 42,48. Start
killing. These things hit hard, so expect a lot of downtime between kills. Kill
as many as you can find, then head back down to the Thornweaver camp.
Keep moving between these two camps until you have killed 12 Bristleback
Thornweavers and 12 Bristleback Geomancers.
4. Go back to the Water Seeker camp. Take care of any more Water Seekers
or Tusks you need, and continue to kill until you have at least 11 Blood
Shards. When that's done, head back to Taurajo.
5. Back in town, turn in [21] Tribes at War at Mangletooth. He will then give
you [21] Blood Shards of Agamaggan Take it, and turn it in. If you managed
to find Lakota'mani earlier, go talk to Jorn Skyseer and finish the quest [22]
Lakota'mani. Sell greys, repair, restock. When that's done, go back to
Mangletooth and take the quest [??] Spirit of the Wind. That will give you a
nifty little speed buff, which will help us get to the next part that little bit
quicker!
6. Run north along the road, and then turn east towards Northwatch Hold.
Stay on the road for as long as you can. Be careful to avoid the Bristlebacks
on your way, the Thornweavers will root you, making it impossible to run
from them. The speed buff you have should chop a bit of time off that
journey, and should wear off just as you arrive. How convenient!
7. Follow the path from the entrance, up to the top of the hill, then turn
right and approach the West tower. If you get lost, use the map. Clear off
any mobs around the tower. Inside this tower, you will find 3 mobs, one of
which is a cloth-wearing healer. This is a tricky fight, but by no means
impossible. If you have to, use the same tactic we used for Hezrul
Bloodmark. (Kill one and escape, eat, drink, then kill another and escape.)
Once all 3 of them are dead, climb the tower. At the top you will find
Canoneer Smythe, and one guard. Take care of them both.
8. Now head to the East tower, using the map shown above. Same routine as
before, three guards on the ground level. Take them down, climb the tower,
use any tactics you have and bring down Canoneer Wheesan, and leave the
tower. At this point, it's a good idea to grind off 10 Theramore Medals if you
don't have them already. They drop from any mob inside Northwatch.
9. Head back down the hill, clear off the mobs around the keep, then
prepare yourself again. There are 4 mobs in this room, but they will pull 2 at
a time. Range the healer then run around a corner so she's out of your line of
sight, and she'll come running round to get you. Once her and the marine are
dead, kill the two marines guarding the Blood Elf. Do not take his quest yet.
Once they're dead, fight your way to the top of the tower, moving slowly and
carefully, and keeping your eyes open. At the top of the tower, you will find
around 4 regular mobs, and Captain Fairmount. The regular mobs should
pull one at a time, so clear the area off until Fairmount is alone. Then
simply kill her. Once she is dead, Climb back down the tower and talk to
Gilthares Firebough, the blood elf, and get his quest, [22] Free From the
Hold.
10. Escort Gilthares. Try to stay about 10 feet in front of him, and pull
things towards you. He has a terrible habbit of running headlong into
clusters of mobs and pulling more than you need to fight. He is also very
fragile, so don't let him tank things for too long if you can help it. He will
walk down the hill, to the main gates of Northwatch, then rest for a short
while before heading north through the pirate camps. These are all much
lower level than you now. The words "Turkey Shoot" and "Cakewalk" spring to
mind. Escort him all the way to ratchet.
11. Welcome to Ratchet! There's quite a lot of things we have to do here,

mostly quest turn-ins! Get to work turning in these quests..
[18] The Escape

[18] Miner's Fortune
[20] The Guns of Northwatch
[22] Free From the Hold
If you have any more business to take care of in ratchet, do it now.
12. Lucky for us, there's a quest we need to do that's very nearby. What a
coincidence! [19] Ishamuhale is very close to us. Head north to the dead
tree at 59,30. On your way, Kill the first Zhevra you see. It should drop a
lovely, fresh caracas. Tasty. When you get to the tree, Right-Click the
Caracas in your inventory. This should summon Ishamuhale. Kill it.
13. Almost done! Head back to The Crossroads and turn in [20] Consumed
By Hatred, and deal with any other business you have.
14. Once that's done, fly to Camp Taurajo and turn in [19] Ishamuhale. Get
the followup, [18] Enraged Thunder Lizards.
15. Head north to 46,50 and look for Lakota'mani. This is a named Thunder
Lizard. He has a long-ish patrol route and a less than ideal respawn time, so
you might not find him. If you do find him, kill him, and loot his hoof. This
hoof starts a quest, [22] Lakota'mani, which is worth 1,300 exp. After you
have killed him, or while you are looking for him, kill the Thunderheads in
the area and loot their blood. Once you have 3 Thunder Lizard Bloods, head
back to Camp Taurajo. (Don't worry if you don't find Lakota'mani, he isn't
essential, and the 1.3k exp isn't really worth camping the area for.)
16. Back in Taurajo, turn in [18] Enraged Thunder Lizards. Don't bother
with the followup. Once that's done, fly to Orgrimmar, head back to Rilli
Greasygob and give the Samophlange manual to him.
Congratulations!
You should now be Level 20! This guide stops here, but there's plenty more
work to do for your character. My suggestion for you now is to try out the
Wailing Caverns. This is, in my opinion, the first worthwhile instance for the
Horde. There are some lovely drops for all classes in there, and you have
done all the preparation already. Check out Jame's Wailing Caverns Guide
before you head inside, and don't forget to get the quests from the Druids
inside the "eye" above the entrance.
Also, Jame is working on a Guide for the horde, taking you from 20 right
through to 60, which I will link from here as soon as it is published. There
are also plenty more Barrens quests for you to do! We didn't touch the last of
Jorn Skyseer's chain, or the Silithid, or the Dwarves in the south. We barely
touched Ashenvale and Stonetalon, so there's lots of work to do there. And if
you're willing to travel, Undead lands have a whole ton of quests we didn't
even think about in this guide.
Please, don't forget to leave some replies to this post letting me know how
you did, any problems you hit, areas you found difficult, or if you need more
information in some areas. I will be watching these, and will try to reply
quickly. Have fun, happy hunting!

Towards the end of the guide at Part 8, paragraph 15 you talked

about hunting down Lakota'mani whom you identified as a named
Thunder Lizard. Although you said not to go out of your way; I still
tried to search around and find him. After like 10 mins I gave up.
While heading back to camp I ran into a Kodo Beast named
Lakota'mani. lol I slew him and looted his hoof for the 1.3k xp
quest turn-in. Unless this was a change in one of the later patches
just thought you should know he is not a Thunder Lizard but a
Kodo Beast. anyways great guide Jame, your a GOD!

Whether Blood Elf or Undead or anything in between, all my toons

time and effort.
I thought it was about time I pointed out, though, that you do not
turn in Echeyakee at Ratchet (Section 4, No. 6), but at
Crossroads. I always forget and run around Ratchet looking for the
questgiver until I eventually remember she's not there.

Sry, but when I use ANY of the guides on this site

or on the addon, e.g. I did 23-25 stonetalon
mountains guide, I was surprised to see that I JUST creeped over
24 after completing all the quests. I believe that Blizzard
increased quest drop rates could you add parts to the guide
that say "grind here until such and such level" after certain quests
or after we complete everything else? I have been forced to grind
for about 3 hours to get up a couple of levels up to keep on top of
it all. It just gets a bit confusing
but, very nice guides. I have gained more levels in a week than I
did in about 3 weeks of playing (cause Im a noob ), which is
pretty impressive for me. Thanks for spending so much time on
them.

Hey, I'm currently converting this guide in

TourGuide-addon format, and I just noticed
something. At the start of the guide, the undead section you
didn't mention to get the Orgrimmar flightpath. As they are
passing by anyway, they could just get the FP as well. And more
importantly: It saves time, a lot! (They would have to run all
the way back to Orgrimmar if they didn't take the flight path).

Deviate Hides

Trouble at the Docks
These 4 quest can be done outside the instance. I think everyone

is able to do those quests when you completed this guide. And i

Priestly Endeavors

If you're a newcoming priest using this guide and having much

difficulty taking down these mobs, it is probably because you
don't have a wand. Get a wand asap, it helps tremendously in
levelling. Use this pattern for most mobs: Mind Blast, Shadow
Word: Pain and Shoot wand, shield if you have to. Make sure you
have your buffs on at all times!
I hope I helped some of you
Mostly very good...

Most of this guide is very good, although some

quests are far too difficult for most
people to do at the levls you suggest. Also, I could
not find these quests:
[19] Report to Kadrak
So, could someone please tell me where to get them, thanks
[ For Priests: If you are finding it hard to kill things with the low-
damage spells and stuff, then use this sequence: smite, shadow
word: pain, power word: fortitude, shoot (requires wand) ]

Killing barak kodobane as mage

Get rid of the guard in front of him when they wander apart a bit.
A stormer wanders over to where he is sometimes so wait till she
leaves before attacking.
When attacking pull him away from where he is slightly incase
when he flees he flees to the stormer behind him.
As a level 13 mage I just spammed frostbolt until he was just
below half health then did some arcane missiles. When he runs a
nicely placed frost or firebolt into the back should finish him. Or
you could use a wand because he runs in slow motion

I forgot to add this in my last comment. This is not meant as a

suggestion to put in the guide, but rather an addition of mine to
druids reading this. Spec feral right away!
I realize that balance or resto are viable builds later on, but
unless you want to get very good gear and drink every fight,
please follow my advice. "But, I only have Bear form Pretense!" It
doesn't matter, at this point less downtime and more survivability
mean a lot to a druid, as you are very gear dependent as balance.
A side note: Agility is not as important without cat form, I'd say
matter of importance is either Str/Stam and then Int, as you will
be switching forms to heal if you pull a bit too much.
Remember though, just because you are balance or feral doesn't
mean you can't use the other builds skills, pull with a wrath if
needed as feral, and use bear form to conserve mana if you really,
really want to play as balance. That's all, sorry for cluttering your
board with class specific things =[.

First of all, thanks for making this guide, it helped a lot =].
Secondly, I'd like to say to players to NOT just target the quest
targets in 8.1-4 because it's very easy for you to pull too much
aggro. For the guide the only problem I encountered was at
Boulder Lode Mine, although it was possibly my fault for staying
balance for this long as my druid. Thanks once again for a
wonderful guide.
Thanks, and a suggestion

Part 5, paragraph 6 - You instruct the player to walk from Thorn

Hill to Ratchet to turn in Echeyakee and get the followup The
Angry Scytheclaws. These quests are actually provided by Sergra
Darkthorn in Crossroads.
I found that my hearthstone had been up for quite a while, so it
may be more advantageous to, after completing The Disruption
Ends and Supplies for the Crossroads, to hearth to Crossroads.
Then turn in the following quests: The Disruption Ends, Supplies
for the Crossroads, and Echeyakee. Then get the followup The
Angry Scytheclaws, and fly to Ratchet.
I, too, had quite a bit of trouble (as a level 12 mage) with the first
centaur boss quest NW of Crossroads. I think I died twice
attempting to kill him. While I don't think a player intent on
leveling quickly should spend a lot of money on equipment they'll
outstrip very shortly, what probably contributed most to my
difficulties was I had no potions. It might be a good idea to ensure
you have a few healing pots. I think a Lesser Healing Potion would
make all the difference in the tough spots, and some folks (well,
me anyway ) may tend to forget about stocking potions while
running some of these guides.
I've found this guide to be very helpful otherwise - thanks very

much for posting it.

Guide needs work

Submitted by zeddgara on Sun, 2008-05-04 06:37.
You are telling people to do things at a much to low level, Nezgul

for instance. At the time you tell people to do it it's nothing but
frustration and a death run. CC Nezgul when he's 3 levels above
you? Good luck with that. In fact almost the entire centaur boss
section needs to be held off from much longer.
Sludge Fen is a death trap for people, it's packed full of goblins
every 2 feet and they all run when low on health. Die in sludge
fen you have to run from X-roads which is 10 minutes or longer,
which is again nothing but frustrating.

Whilst I agree that some of the centaur

bosses should be fought at later level, the
sludge fen part is totally doable by any class
if you are careful with the way you pull and the way you
fight. Snare runners, or save a burst of dps for when they
start to run and it should be fine.

Trouble at the Docks

Submitted by Zulfandar on Sat, 2008-02-16 21:15.
First: nice guide
To keep it up to Patch 2.3, I suggest you add Trouble at the Docks.

Since the Patch this quest can be easily solod. Just get the quest
at Part 4.6/4.8 and do it when you are done with Part 5.4. After
slaying Hezrul Bloodmark, enter the instance, turn right and go
straight ahed until you have to jump down a bit. A stealthed
goblin awaits you there. Kill, loot and go on as the guide says.
Next time you visit Ratchet, actually about 5 minutes later, turn it
in.
tips for warriors vs. higher mobs

(barak, etc)
Submitted by axhed on Wed, 2008-02-06 23:06.
get some consumables: food with stam buff, +str

elixir or scroll, +armor or +hp elixir or scroll,
sharpening or weightstones for weapon, have a health pot ready,
and make sure you have battle shout up.
when clearing out the area around the big mob, use only auto
attack and rend against the last one or two so that you build up a
full rage bar.
when the area's clear and your rage bar is full, bandage up to full
health and charge the mob... as long as you hit charge with 80 or
more rage you should end up full again after the first autoattack.
start out
charge > rend > sunder x5 > demo shout > heroic him down.
voila!
great guide

Great Guide
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-01-21 04:12.
This guide is great, although i didn't enjoy the walkin that much
but who does? i am 2 lvls ahead of scheduled on it and its is very
easily understandable
LOVED IT !!! Just have a few things to add ^^

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2008-01-19 07:26.
First of all: many thanks for this guide, i have enjoyed lvling a
char through the Barrens in another way than i am used to (just
slacking and running countless miles till your hooves are worn
down to your knees... really, the efficiency in shorter runs in here
is brilliant (apart from some minor things that occured because
there now is a FP in Ratchet which wasn;t there when the guide
was written)).
As i mentioned above: the new FP in Ratchet slightly changes a

few things, but nothing too serious ^^
Another point: many people complain about hard points, but it

doesn't say that you need to solo everything. Many harder quests
are popular quests in general and if you start looking for a mate a
while before you get to the actual hard quest (read centaur
quests, mainly) then you should have help when you reach that
certain point in the guide where things get tricky.
Some minor additions to the guide:
Pt3.5/3.6: Switch these... I did the prowlers before i entered

Ratchet because since the FP-in-Ratchet patch you don;t Walk
back to XR, but you Fly, thus not passing the prowlers on your way
out of town.
Pt4.6: hand in for Echeyakee is in XR, not in Ratchet. You could

actually better hand it in at Pt4.13.
Pt4.7: The picture shows it the wrong way around... The boots are
in the minimap-dot on the left and the lens is in the minimap-dot
on the right.
Pt4.10: This quest can be bugged (it seems). I killed at least 40

(and probably 50+) centaur around his gazebo, died twice because
some of the centaur with packhound run fast and are suddenly on
your neck while you are fighting another centaur and there is
Rocklance, a rarespawn elite that i found (or was found by). After
that half hour of grinding centaur i chose to read up on thott
(http://thottbot.com/q851) and someone hinted to abandon and
retake the quest at the bunker. I did; cost me some more time but
i wasted so much on this quest that i really had to finish it. Fifth
kill, Verog got summoned, we met and got in a bit of a fuzz and
the rest is history.
You might want to skip this quest if it turns out to be bugged
(don't worry about the lost xp... You'll ding 20 before the end of
this guide anyways ^^) but it is just a good test of you skills to
solo him at low lvl and the follow up (pt5.4) is an even better test
of skills (though you might want to get some help there).
Pt4.13: If you are a Tauren and head for Thunder Bluff: go and
train your weapon skills (Lower Rise). If you are not a Tauren,
train your Orgrimmar weapon skills (Valley of Honor, behind the
big building where battlegroundmasters are).
Pt5.5: If you are grouped you might just want to try this follow
up. I think it's the most enjoyable quest in the Barrens, though
you would actually want to have 2 lvl20s attempting it or 3
lowers. Come on, try it... Die a bit, corpserun is short enough (ask
for help in /1 General) and have some fun.
Pt5.6: You might want to pick up Ziz Fizziks

(http://thottbot.com/q1483), as i will explain at Pt6.12
Pt6.3: The Tauren that sneak into Orgrimmar for a flightpath

might just as well pick up some weapon training in the Valley of
Honor and while they;re at it pick up Spirits of Stonetalon
(http://thottbot.com/q1061), which leads to an easy follow up
that you might want to do at Pt6.12 if you choose Windshear Crag
instead of Sishir Canyon.
Pt6.4: The follow-up from Wenikee Boltbucket is called Rilli

Greasygob (i forgot i even had the quest till i was in Orgrimmar
getting a quest From him and seeing i had to hand in a pre-q
first).
Pt6.5: I play on a RP server, but i feel sorry for all you guys being
slapped silly in Ashenvale in PvP servers. Rest assured in the fact
that you will be highlvl yourself oneday and then it is time to kick
some night elf butt, slap some humans silly, stomp on some of
them gnomes and make those dwarves run back into the holes
they came from, yelling for their mommy.
Pt6.12: Besseleth is no longer elite and can easily be done with

two people so you might want to add http://thottbot.com/q6284
to your guide (might even be soloable).
Pt6.12: The Deepmoss Spider Eggs and Blood Feeders quest can
also be done in the Windsheer Crag, going that way you could do
Ziz Fizziks (http://thottbot.com/q1483) as well (pick it up in
Ratchet around Pt5.6).
Pt7.1: If you haven't trained your Thunder Bluff weapon skills yet
at Pt4.13: now is the time to do it !!!
Pt7.1: If you haven't trained your Orgrimmar weapon skills yet at
Pt4.13: now is the time to do it !!!
Pt7.2: DON'T DIE IN THE MINE !!! I repeat: DON'T DIE IN THE MINE
!!! The corpserun from XR is so long, most mobs you already took
down would probably have respawned by now. You'd better try
and get a friend to come along, the quest is easy then, but it is
hard to find people that want to do this quest. First time i died i
was disappointed, then i died again (when i was deeper in the
mine i had to run from 2 adds and ran into respawns at the
entrance to the mine... ouch: i was annoyed). Then i had to re-
enter my body in the middle of, now even more, respawns and
died instantly (that was 3rd death within 15 mins... yes, corpserun
is 5-ish minutes) so i got frustrated, parked my character in front
of the mine, got out my 70 hunter and single-shot every single
mob in the mine (doing a /spit on many of them as well) and
logged my shaman again to walk through a sea of barely
recognizable bodies (crits of 3k damage left pretty bad
bloodstains in the cave) and killed Boss Copperplug.
If you die in the mine, and don't have a higher lvl character (lvl30
should be more than high enough as well), then just spiritres at XR
and abandon the quest... you'll probably have the Cats Eye
Emerald already and fine ol' Copperplug gets to live another day.
Again, don't worry about the lost xp... You'll ding 20 before the
end of this guide anyways ^^.
Pt8.15: Lakota'mani is not a Thunder Lizzard, but a kodo...
Pt8.15: You might want to kill Owatanka as well, a lvl 24 non elite
Thunder Lizzard (yes, a real one, not a kodo in disguise) for a "this
item begins a quest"-item (for http://thottbot.com/q884).
Pt8.16: DO bother to pick up the follow-up if you're a shaman,

you'll meet the NPC next to Mahren Skyseer in your Call of Water
quest.
Thanks again for compiling all these quests into a (more or less)
smooth ride through the Barrens. I love the area, it is where you
get to Really know your class and develop tactics that will be used
up untill you are waaaay up there in the high-lvl regions ^^. I hope
my additions are helpful.
Happy hunting all. (BARRENS FTW !!!)

was a great guide, I didn't have to grind once and I could kill all
the bosses and stuff easy, lucky I guess
