Most people are capable of leveling, it's really not that hard to do, but have you ever wondered how some people seem to level with such ease while you are left struggling, bogged down by the corpse trail they leave behind? I have lots of characters, there's nothing that warms my heart more than the fresh smell of a level 1, particularly if I haven't eaten for a few days. When I started my 3rd Undead character, a Warlock, I decided to take note of what I did in the hopes it might help...

Everyone has their little tips for WoW, and below is just a few things I have picked up along the way that might help with your levelling. Professions! Professions are a great tool to have, as a Warlock you could choose Tailoring to make your own armor and bags, or perhaps Alchemy for all those helpful potions. A lot of Warlocks go Engineering for all the nifty trinkets, but if you don't have your heart set on a particular profession, or you want to wait till you're higher level,...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Deathknell! Started at level 1 Finished at level 6 Ok, now you're up and running it's time to get on with the leveling. As an undead you start in a crypt (har har) so head up to the surface. You will get a quest as soon as you get upstairs; Rude Awakening. This directs you to you're 'starting area' and Shadow Priest Sarvis can be found inside the first building on your left.

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Brill! Started at level 6 Finished at level 13 Ok so you've just finished the newbie area and are starting to feel tough, you are ready to take on the world... well, Brill! Located almost in the center of Tirisfal Glades, the Brill locals will have you running all over the zone and doing some wonderfully undead things like poisoning a prisoner, stealing pumpkins and gathering blood, aren't you excited!

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Silverpine Started at level 13 Finished at level 15 I was just into level 13 when I finished the last of Tirisfal Glades and made my way to Silverpine. This is where you can start to quest/level in multiple area's to make the most of what's on offer to you. To get to Silverpine Forest from Tirisfal Glades, face the entrace to The Undercity and take the path on your right. When you enter Silverpine, follow that path...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. The Barrens, Silverpine and Ashenvale Started at level 15 Finished at level 19 If this is your first trip to The Barrens, you won't have the flight path yet and will have to run there. From The Undercity, you need to take a Zepplin which are actually located just outside, so it's more from Tirisfal Glades really. When your Zepplin lands in Durotar, head towards Orgrimmar, but instead of turning right to head in, turn...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. The Barrens and Stonetalon Mountains! Started at level 19 Finished at level 22 After finishing off Silverpine and getting the Ashenvale quest out the way, I headed back to The Barrens to see what else I could complete.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Hillsbrad Foothills, Barrens and Stonetalon Started at level 22 Finished at level 26 By now I had a few places with level 20 to 25 quests, but the ones from Taren Mill were the lowest, and involved the lowest mobs so I headed there first.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Ashenvale / Thousand Needles Started at level 26 Finished at level 30 Now I had finished up The Barrens and Stonetalon, I was ready to head to Ashenvale. Before heading off though, get your hands on a Deadly Blunderbuss as you will need it for a quest there, and better to have it already. If you are an Engineer you can make one, otherwise ask an Engineering friend or check the Auction House, I paid 1g for mine. Once you...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Hillsbrad, Desolace, Arathi & Shimmering Flats Started at level 30 Finished at level 33 A lot of Horde comment on the lack of choices when you hit level 30, and if you have played Alliance before, you will surely notice the difference. Still, no matter which side you play, Stranglethorn Vale seems to be a sess pool for the unwanted kindergarten crowd, and I personally like to avoid it for as long as possible.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Stranglethorn Vale and Desolace Started at level 33 Finished at level 37 Stranglethorn Vale is a massive zone that covers about 10 level's of quests. Filled by both Alliance and Horde, you tend to find a lot of people complain about this zone, especially if you leave general chat on. At 33 though, I wanted to go and at least get the starting ones out the way, but much like The Barrens, I try to keep my trips here short...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Hillsbrad, Arathi and Dustwallow Marsh! Started at level 37 Finished at level 39 After leaving Desolace, I had a few remaining quests left in Hillsbrad, and I figured what better time than now to clear them up. After landing in Taren Mill, I made my way to the Dalaran Bubble to knock off the following two;

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. More Stranglethorn Vale Started at level 39 Finished at level 41 Now that I had had a break from STV, I decided it was time to clean up any remaining quests. I took a Zepplin from Orgrimmar to Grom'gol Base Camp, and then a flight to Booty Bay to grab any additional quests, and then back to Grom'gol as it was quicker from there.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Badlands, Dustwallow and Swamp of Sorrows Started at level 41 Finished at level 43 With the remainder of my Stranglethorn Vale quests being in the mid 40's, I decided to jump around a few other zones to start with. Badlands was my first choice, and if you haven't been here yet, prepare for a run. For Horde, we have to make our way to Taren Mill, run through to Arathi Highlands and then into Wetlands. From there, you...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Stranglethorn Vale and Tanaris Started at level 43 Finished at level 45 With the final quests for Stranglethorn in my log, I decided to kill off some Naga first.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Feralas and Hinterlands Started at level 45 Finished at level 48 Since you can't fly to Thousand Needles from Tanaris, I decided it was just as easy to run as it was to go from Tanaris to Crossroads to Thousand Needles. Feralas is basically at the opposite end of Thousand Needles to Shimmering Flats, just run straight across.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Feralas and Tanaris Started at level 48 Finished at level 50 Since I had the Muisek quest left over from the Hinterlands, I decided to return to Feralas and hand in. While I was there, I knocked off the last remaining quests I had.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Blasted Lands and Searing Gorge Started at level 50 Finished at level 51 Getting to Blasted Lands is very easy, just head to Stonard in Swamp of Sorrows. From there you just north about 10 feet and you should see a path lead off to your left, that is Blasted Lands. As you cross zones you should see an Orc; Fallen Hero of the Horde. It is up to you if you want to start his quest line now or later, but it does jump up in...

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Un'Goro, Felwood and Linkin's Sword Quest Started at level 51 Finished at level 53 If you have never been to Un'Goro before, getting there is easy. From the Gadgetzan in Tanaris, you want to head South-West as if you were heading to Thistleshrub Valley. Just near there you will see two large blue / black pylons on either side of a gulley, that gulley will lead you straight to Un'Goro!

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Un'Goro and Felwood Started at level 53 Finished at level 55 Now that I was back in Un'Goro from the Linkin's Sword quest line, I decided to complete some other quests. In your running around, if you happened to pass The Undercity, head down to where they do all the testing in The Apothecarium and see Chemist Fruely.

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Azshara and Burning Steppes Started at level 55 Finished at level 56 Wanting to delay my travels in the Plaguelands, I decided to check out Azshara, and although I was probably a tad high for most mobs, it made for quick and easy killing. Before you head out there though, run and see Belgrom Rockmaul outside the Hall of the Brave in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar. He will give you a quest that sends you to Azshara, as...

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Western Plaguelands Started at level 56 Finished at level 57 To get to Western Plaguelands, you simply have to run to the eastern end of Tirisfal Glades. You will see an encampment on the borders edge, and before you go starting any quests, be sure to see Argent Officer Garush. He will give you an Argent Dawn Commission which is a Trinket you will want to wear while fighting in either of the Plaguelands.

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Winterspring Started at level 57 Finished at level 58 With Western Plaguelands out the way, you could head over to Eastern Plaguelands, but with both Winterspring and Sithilis starting to go green now, I chose to go there first. I chose to do Winterspring first as Sithilis mobs, although around the same level, can be a bit harder.

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Silithus Started at level 58 Finished at level 59 Deadly Desert Venom Objectives : Collect 8 Stonelash Scorpid Stingers and 8 Sand Skitterer Fangs

---

The recently deceased! An Undead leveling guide. Eastern Plaguelands Started at level 59 Finished at level 60 I was actually almost to 60 by the time I left Silithus, but as I didn't want to grind the last quarter, I made my way to Eastern Plaguelands. If you have the flight path, you can take a bat there, but as I came in from the Zepplin anyway, I just ran through Western Plaguelands. The firsts quests I got were from that side of the zone...
