Void Elves: On Outland, Void Elf players would be interested in the Dark Portal and meeting Alleria's son in Hellfire Peninsula, as well as meeting the village named after her, Allerian Stronghold, in Terokkar Forest. In Northrend, Void Elves would be interested in Ulduar and Storm Peaks to learn more about the Old God Yogg Saron.

Nightborne: The Netherstorm story, Magister's Terrace, and Isle of Quel'Danas to learn more about Kael'Thas and The Sunwell. Spend some time in Shattrath City to align yourself with the Scryer faction and hear Lady Liadrin's conversation with A'dal. In Northrend, Nightborne would be interested to learn more about the magical properties of Coldarra and the ley lines in Dragonblight.

Lightforged Draenei: All of Outland provides rich lore on the Draenei, including the broken in Nagrand, the sacred capital of Shattrath, the ruins of Auchindoun, the corrupt Black Temple, and The Dark Portal in Hellfire Peninsula. Lightforged Draenei players may also be interested in the noble mission of the Argent Crusade and the Crusader Bridenbrad questline in Icecrown.

Highmountain Tauren: The Taunka'le Village questline in Borean Tundra to learn how the Taunka join the Horde. You can find more Taunka settlements in Dragonblight (Westwind Refugee Camp), Grizzly Hills (Camp Oneqwah), Storm Peaks (Camp Tunka'lo), and Howling Fjord (Camp Winterhoof).

General Leveling Tips

In Patch 7.3.5, Blizzard removed the extra flying training requirements for Northrend zones. Simply train Erfahrenes Reiten at level 60. At level 70, you can further train to increase flying speed to 280%. Gekonntes Reiten costs from a Riding trainer.

Set your Hearthstone location wisely, so you can save travel time returning to quest hubs if they are far away.

Your base heirlooms stop scaling at level 60, so you must upgrade them in order to receive increased stats while leveling in these 60-80 zones. You can upgrade them to scale up to 90 via Rüstungsschutz für uralte Erbstücke and Waffenscheide für uralte Erbstücke.

Have extra bag space! Check out the Big Bag Guide if you need help finding some bags.

Outland Leveling Routes

Draenei: Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, Nagrand

Demon Hunters: Shadowmoon Valley, Nagrand

Ethereals: Nagrand, Netherstorm

Illidan: Zangarmarsh, Shadowmoon Valley

Mag'har Orcs: Hellfire Peninsula, Nagrand

Ogres: Blade's Edge Mountains

Kael'thas: Netherstorm, Magister's Terrace

Hellfire Peninsula

The Alliance quartermaster for Ehrenfeste and Horde quartermaster for Thrallmar are located in this zone, and sell a variety of recipes and transmog items.

Make sure to avoid the scary Teufelshäscher stomping around!

Alliance players can earn the Mirrens alkoholischer Hut hat, which provides drinks, from Feinste Daunen questline. Another fun set of gear from quests are the lookalike Paladin Tier 4 pieces -
Feuervernarbte Brustplatte and Schienbeinschützer des Magistrats.

One notable questline is Sühne. The questline demonstrates how revenge is not always the most effective strategy. After a peace-loving Draenei is murdered, you are asked to go on a rampage on his behalf--learning afterwards that it was the wrong choice.

The AU Warlords version is Tanaan Jungle.

Zangarmarsh

Zangarmarsh is the location of the Expedition des Cenarius quartermaster, and running Steamvaults is the best way to earn reputation. At Exalted, you can get the Cenarischer Kriegshippogryph mount.

Zangarmarsh is also home to the Sporeggar faction, a peaceful race of mushroom creatures. Turning in Bluthibiskus from the Underbog is a good way to gain reputation with them. Rewards include Winziger Sporensegler.

There is no AU Warlords version, as Zangarmarsh is a sea to the north of Nagrand.

Terokkar Forest

In Shattrath you will find the usual city amenities like banks, trainers, and some portals, as well as the quartermasters for Die Sha'tar and Unteres Viertel factions.

Terokkar has the special reputation hub Skettis, with mobs to grind and daily quests to complete. Finishing the grind rewards Nether ray mounts, a tabard, and a pet.

Wolkenschwinge is a quest which rewards the battle pet Minischwing. Vermisste Freunde, in which you free Draenei children, rewards the sentimental toy Ramponierte Dampfpanzersteuerung.

The Warlords AU version is Talador, a 94-100 leveling zone. Here you can see the Bone Wastes and Auchindoun in its former glory.

NagrandAltruis der Leidende

Altruis der Leidende is a familiar name - he plays a role in the Demon Hunter starting zone in Legion, and you can choose Altruis der Leidende as a Class Hall Follower.

Der Ring des Blutes: Die letzte Herausforderung - The Ring of Blood questline is a great way to get a weapon upgrade.

While not particularly active now, Halaa is a PvP zone in the center of Nagrand. Players mainly visit there now to purchase mounts like Zügel des dunklen Kriegstalbuks from vendors.

Ein Besuch bei der Großmutter - ]This quest chain provides backstory on Thrall, his surviving relatives, and Garrosh. It can only be started after completing numerous quests in Nagrand.

Nagrand is perhaps best known for the Kurenai and Die Mag'har reputation grinds, which award beautiful Talbuk mounts like Zügel des kobaltblauen Reittalbuks.

The Warlords AU version is Nagrand, which is quite similar in many ways to the original zone.

Blade's Edge Mountains

Take a trip to Toshley's Station, a quest hub filled with Star Wars references.

Ogri'la is a faction of peaceful ogres that have gained magical powers from Apexiskristall. They are fighting both the Black Dragonflight and Burning Legion. There are a number of dailies you can complete with this faction.

One of the most disturbing questgivers is T'chali der Hexendoktor, a buried Troll, killed after sharing his brew secrets with the ogres.

The Warlords AU version is Frostfeuergrat and Gorgrond. The zones look quite different to the current Blade's Edge.

Netherstorm

Kirin'Var Village is a Kirin Tor Outpost that hung on after the Alliance Expedition to Draenor, but was destroyed by Kael'Thas's Mana Bomb. He then trapped the wizards in the tower, including the famous Archmage Vargoth. Players enjoyed summoning his spirit via Erzmagier Vargoths Stab which could be used in any zone. In Legion we finally learn more about Erzmagier Vargoth, acquire him as a champion, and free him from the actions of Kael'Thas.

Das Konsortium are ethereal smugglers, traders and thieves that have come to Outland. Their headquarters are in Stormspire and you can purchase intersting items like Illusion: Scharfrichter.

Der Wendepunkt/Todesstoß für die Legion - These quest series give major amounts of reputation for Die Aldor or Die Seher. They mostly follow the same trajectory in Netherstorm--shutting down the various Manaforges. However, the climactic battle against Socrethar differs for factions. The Aldor questline is a bit more interesting as a traitorous Draenei realizes his wrongdoings and then sacrifices himself.

Shadowmoon Valley

Netherschwingen is a faction spawned from the eggs of Deathwing's black dragonflight, and infused with raw nether-energies. Through dailies, story quests, and collecting eggs, you learn about this faction, befriend the dragons, and can acquire Netherwing mounts for yourself!

The Cipher of Damnation is an epic questline that used to be a prerequisite for entering Tempest Keep. This comment outlines all the various quests in the chain. You are tasked with rebuilding the spell uttered by Gul'dan which shattered Outland. Oronok, a former lieutenant of Gul'dan, is constantly reminded of his treacherous involvement--and sent his three sons out into Shadowmoon Valley to find traces of the cipher when he received word that Illidan was using the cipher for his own purposes.

Starting with Val'zareqs Tagebuch: Vorboten des Krieges, you learn that a general of the Sha'tar is captured by agents of Illidan. After disrupting their ritual, you are rewarded with either Grüner Trophäenwappenrock der Illidari or Lila Trophäenwappenrock der Illidari.

The Warlords AU version is Schattenmondtal. In this version, Shadowmoon Valley is a thriving center of Draenei civilization, with the gleaming Temple of Karabor as the zone's highlight.

DragonblightDrachenseeleStunde des Zwielichts

The Wrathgate is a can't miss quetsline, and completing the available quests rewards Veteran der Pforte des Zorns. In the Cataclysm revamp, the final part of this story was removed, and you can read more about it on the Die Schlacht um Unterstadt page.

Der Wyrmruhpakt has its base in Dragonblight, and you can purchase Zügel des Rotdrachen at Exalted.

The Die Kalu'ak also has their main base in Dragonblight, with a boat that ferries players to both Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord. Here you will find the quartermaster Sairuk who will sell you Meisterliche Angelrute der Kalu'ak and Bebrütetes Pinguinei.

Grizzly Hills, starting at level 63

The music of Grizzly Hills is beloved by players, and you can pick up the Musikrolle: Totems des Grauschlunds which drops from Remington Brode.

Hunters can tame the beautiful Spirit Beast Arcturis in this zone.

Guardian Druids will be interested particularly in the Ursoc, der Bärengott questline as their Artifact Weapons draw heavily on Ursol's lore.

Zul'Drak

The Ampitheater of Anguish is a great place to pick up a new leveling weapon, if you do not have an heirloom.

There is a fun Argent Crusade daily, Pa'trollieren. If you complete it quickly, you can pick up Beutel des Patrouillenführers which has a low chance to contain Hilfssheriffstern der Pa'Trollie.

Sholazar Basin, available at 66

Loque'nahak is a coveted rare spirit beast that can spawn around the zone.

Completing Nesingwary's Sholazar questline rewards the achievement Der Schnee von Nordend.

The reputation grind for Die Orakel and Stamm der Wildherzen yields many interesting rewards such as Zügel des grünen Protodrachen and Wildherzengebräu. These items can "hatch" several days later from items you buy at Revered...but be warned, you may get a Hundertjähriges Ei instead.

Sholazan Basin may look familiar as it was the location for the Legion quest and cutscene Flüstern einer verängstigten Welt with Azeroth and Magni.

The Storm Peaks

One of the best-known rare spawns resides in the Storm Peaks - Zeitverlorener Protodrache which drops the Zügel des zeitverlorenen Protodrachen.

Completing dailies for the Hyldnirbeute has a small chance to reward the Zügel des weißen Eisbären mount.

Pet lovers can tame the Spirit Beast Skoll and catch the Arktischer Fuchswelpe when it snows.

Icecrown

Kreuzfahrer Bridenbrad's quest story is particularly notable, as against all odds, you try to save a soldier dying of the Scourge Plague.

Gefrorenes Herz, the heart of Arthas, starts a massive lore questline. For part of the questline, Matthias Lehner (thought to be the conscience of Arthas), will let you relive key events in Arthas' life such as raising Sindragosa and fighting Illidan. Tirion Fordring eventually destroys the heart of Arthas, which greatly weakens the Lich King.

Icecrown is the headquarters for the Ritter der Schwarzen Klinge faction, an organization of renegade death knights, and the Argentumkreuzzug, an organization created from the union of the Argent Dawn and the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Non-Linear Zones (67-80)Crystalsong ForestWintergrasp

Every 2 hours 30 minutes, the battle for Wintergrasp begins. The defending faction must successfully defend for 30 minutes to keep it, while the opposing team attacks with siege weapons. Destroying towers both grants damage buffs and shortens the battle's time by 10 minutes. Between battles, elementals spawn that players from the winning faction can easily farm for crystallized elements. Players can also fight the bosses inside Vault of Archavon which are very simple and drop a variety of tier and PvP loot, or turn in Mark of Honor to vendors for special items like Zügel des schwarzen Kriegsmammuts. Learn more in the Wintergrasp Guide.

Argent TournamentSiegel des ChampionsArgent Tournament

Argent Tournament vendors sell an assortment of vanity items such as tabards and mounts. Vendors representing each of the major city factions can be unlocked upon championing their faction, and will then sell tabards, banners, mounts and companion pets. In addition, Dame Evniki Kapsalis sells heirloom shoulders, chestpieces, weapons and trinkets in exchange for Siegel des Champions

The Argent Tournament has many unique vanity rewards. The Wappenrock des Argentumkreuzfahrers is a popular item, as it provides a teleport to the Argent Tournament grounds in Eiskrone with a short, 30 minute cooldown, providing an excellent and fast way to access Northrend. In addition, players can purchase an Zügel des Argentumponys which they can use with their Argentumknappe to gain access to bank, mailbox or a vendor for 3 minutes once every 4 hours!
