Since Patch 7.3.5, leveling has become fun again. We reveal which WoW areas you should take a leisurely look at on the side of the Alliance.
With Patch 7.3.5, Blizzard made some significant changes to the game world of World of Warcraft. All zones in Azeroth, the Outland, Northrend, Pandaria, and Draenor now scale with the character’s level.
This allows new characters to fully experience quest areas and complete the story of each zone without the character’s level being too high already.
Many players have set out to level some twinks and truly enjoy the old areas.
The Most Beautiful Leveling Areas on the Alliance Side
But which zones in World of Warcraft are worth it? Which stories are worth reading the quest texts and stopping for the small NPC events?
After all, many players don’t even read quest texts; they just hammer “Accept” and travel to the marked spot on the map.
In this article, we want to briefly introduce you to the areas with the most beautiful, exciting, or funniest quest lines – today in the version for the Alliance.
Westfall (10-60)
After the Cataclysm, Stormwind is unable to supply the outer regions of the kingdom. Life in Westfall is tough; the people literally feed on dirt and long for someone to give them hope again. However, that is not the player. Because while trying to help the inhabitants of the area, it quickly becomes clear that a once-hostile organization is rising again from the shadows to save the beleaguered people.
Duskwood (20-60)
Dark and oppressive is the atmosphere in Duskwood. No sunlight penetrates through the dense treetops, while wolves, worgen, and zombies trudge through the night. The small town of Darkshire struggles to survive despite the numerous threats. Help eliminate the dark machinations in the forest – or become an unwitting helper of evil and lead the downfall of the human settlement.
Redridge Mountains (15-60)
If you enjoy classic series like “The A-Team,” you might experience a nostalgic high in the Redridge Mountains. Lake Town is plagued by numerous problems, such as gnolls and orcs. An old “hero group” has now grown tired and no longer wants to deal with the problems. However, with the player’s help, they once again march into battle while featuring plenty of slapstick moments. For instance, a wizard is promptly demoted to the engine of a boat that he must power with a flame strike…
Darkshore (10-60)
The once beautiful elven area of Darkshore has been completely devastated by the Cataclysm. Cities lie in ruins, and even the elemental forces are so confused that permanent whirlwinds arise and ravage the land. While supporting the night elves, you attempt to alleviate the suffering of the land, give the dead their last rest, and even encounter a demon hunter for the first time. Even the naga queen Azshara is causing trouble for the land, necessitating the intervention of none other than Malfurion Stormrage…
Swamp of Sorrows (35-60)
Theramore has actually been destroyed by Garrosh. There seems to be nothing left to do in the Swamp of Sorrows. “Actually” is a word that holds no meaning for bronze dragons! If you want, you can travel back in time to the past of the Swamp of Sorrows and experience firsthand what problems this Alliance outpost had to face. In addition to ogres, dragons, and experimenting goblins, there are also some curses in this eerie swamp that require a cool head to resolve.
Grizzly Hills (63-80)
No area in Northrend compares to the beauty of Grizzly Hills. The music and surroundings invite you to linger and are somewhat detached from the scourge of undeath that otherwise reigns in Northrend. In addition to the beauty of the area itself, there are also interesting quest lines. Tracks of Old Gods can be found, interesting facts about the summoner of the worgen, Arugal, come to light, and even remnants of the Old Gods can be spotted.
Dragonblight (61-80)
In Dragonblight, the great dragonflights have their small sanctuaries – but like all of Northrend, this area is also overrun by the undead scourge. You must help the various flights, but at the same time ensure that the Alliance can secure its positions in Northrend. And then there are also the remains of the Scarlet Crusade, whose fanaticism drives them further into the army of those who want to exploit them.
Those who stay in the zone until the end will even be rewarded with a unique cinematic that once again reminds them why the Alliance should never trust the Horde!
The Jade Forest (80-90)
The Jade Forest is the starting point for the journey to Pandaria. Both Horde and Alliance want to conquer the new continent – this very conflict simmers in the Jade Forest. The Alliance teams up with a strange race of fish people and tries to suppress their negative emotions. This doesn’t always work; you will witness a gruesome massacre where drowning people are simply slaughtered. The Jade Forest is a grimly beautiful mix of inviting nature with beautiful Pandaren culture and the cold, merciless effects of war.
Uldum (83-90)
If you like Indiana Jones, you will love Uldum. Much of the area is filled with stories alongside Harrison Jones, revolving around the discovery of long-decrepit temples and mechanisms. However, the dialogues with Jones’ rival, the goblin Schnottz, who tries to turn the old ruins into a tourist attraction to fund his search for magical artifacts, are what make it truly entertaining. Not to mention that the Tol’vir, a people deeply connected to the Titans and the creation story of life on Azeroth, are also present in the zone…
No matter how you plan the leveling phase of your new Alliance character – you should definitely check out the areas mentioned, as they contain many interesting or funny stories!
