Firstly this guide was created, routed and prepared initially by CauthonLuck.
You can find his twitch at twitch.tv/CauthonLuck and youtube.com/SpacedNeedle
One thing to note is at 14 and onward the routing for class training becomes a lot less accurate as people and specs level at difference paces and things change. So best practice is to find good times to go train class skills and professions.
This guide also skips all dungeon quests but by all means feel free to go around, pick up dungeon quests and run them. In the end it's all about having the most amount of fun possible.
This guide was very much rushed and made in 4-5 days so hopefully there aren't too many mistakes. Feel free to let me know if there are any mistakes and I'll do my best to fix them when I can.

The one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it sometimes has you going to do quest steps for quests it didn't have you pick up. What I mean by this is that when you're multitasking quests, sometimes it will try to get you to do something you are unable to do because it's for a quest that you could have picked up while you were in an area but the guide just simply didn't have you get. For instance, when I was leveling my UD Priest, the guide had me kill raptors in the barrens where there's that one line of nests. At the end of that line of nests, there's a chest with a quest item for the quest Stolen Silver. You get the quest from an NPC in the crossroads, and just before the guide step I was in the crossroads picking up quests like it wanted me to, but when I got to the guide step where it wanted me to get that silver, I didn't have the quest so I couldn't interact with the chest. And I make absolutely sure that I do the guide steps in order and pay attention to what it's telling me to do, so there's no way I could have missed picking up the quest unless it simply just didn't have me pick it up. So I spent the whole time clearing raptors just to find that out. I hearthed to the camp nearby then flew to the crossroads to pick it up, flew back to the camp, and walked to where I was. The raptors respawned so I had to kill them all again just to get a quest item.
Aside from these few hiccups, this guide is fine. I think that it explains itself easily enough to understand what you want to do while maintaining efficiency. However, the formatting on the guide text could be a little more polished. Since I'm playing UD, I had a different guide for my starter area made by Freezy I believe. The formatting was nicer and easier to read when it came to specific quest steps.
hiya, just used the undead starter, very good. just a couple of things that would improve it, it is better to turn in the 2nd scarlett crusade where you just kill one mob later on. after you pick up rogues deal, and then you collect pumpkins and kill yourself. its better to set hearth at tirisfall glades, then collect/turn in all quests. then walk along the road toward 2nd part of rougues deal, meet gordo and collect 3 doomweed, then complete rogues deal, kill yourself again to res at deathnell then turn in quest and hearth to tirisfall. in my eyes thats faster, but see what you think if you ever read this thanks
Any ETA on updating the guide for 44+? Me and my friends are all using this guide and it's awesome, really hope we can keep using it all the way to 60.
In reply to pwyb:
Sorry for the extremely delayed response. Over the next few weeks I plan to lvl my Alt while amending the current guide as I go and once I get to 44+ I'll be looking at crafting the 44-60 portion. I'm sure this isn't the time frame you were looking for but I myself am not a routing genius, I simply port existing ones but I'll do my best with the resources I can find.
hey, whats your reasoning behind deleting your hearthstone as the first step for the undead starting zone?
In reply to glish:
Hi, sorry for delayed response. It's entirely a bag space thing. You will usually be abusing death warps and if you were to use the hearthstone it would take you right back to the very start of Deathknell in the intro crypt. If you were going to use the unstuck macro to somewhere it would eat your hearthstone and send you back there too so a few reasons.
