Most of these have been confirmed to be good, but in order to prevent overcrowding inareas I will try to list several different places, all of which should be pretty decent. Moreoften than not, the areas will only hold one or two people maximum as far as spawn ratesgo - any more than that and you have too many people and too little mobs to supportthem. Unfortunately, because of this, you might end up somewhere that isn't quite asgood as you might've hoped, and if that's the case, I apologize in advance.
The levels are approximate, you may or may not have to supplement grinding for one ortwo levels in order to move onto the next zones early on, although most of the later partsdeal mostly with areas to grind in. Also, when a level is listed next to a grind area, thatmeans this is the level at which you can more than likely *start* grinding the mobs. Youcan probably *stop* grinding them about 4-5 levels past where the start level is. In fact,it's probably recommended that you do stop 4 levels past them.
Also, keep in mind that this is mostly for Alliance players, as it's the only faction I'veplayed and thus have no experience with Horde lands. You'll also note the lack ofKalimdor lands up until Feralas/Tanaris. While I'm not saying Ashenvale, StonetalonMountains, Thousand Needles or Desolace are bad places, I honestly have no experiencewith them either, and these areas that I do list are typically sufficient to take you up inlevels.
Please note that the level listed beside a place, if there is one, is the level recommended to*begin* the place. Each place should typically be able to last you for 4-5 levels (with theexception of quest areas), whether you have the patience to stay at that one place for thatlong is another thing.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed and added to the list!
Level 1-12:
-Newbie Zone :: You may have to leave at level 11.
Level 12-20:
-Westfall [Sentinel Hill, Westfall Lighthouse]
- Loch Modan [Thelsamar, Farstrider's Lodge, Stonewrought Dam]
- Darkshore [Auberdine]
- Elite Area: Mo'grosh mound (Loch Modan)
- Instance: Deadmines
Complete the easiest quests in the first area that you go to (Night Elves should visitDarkshore first, Dwarves/Gnomes should visit Loch Modan first, Humans should visitWestfall first.) Move onto the next zone, and do the same, but this time you can completemore of the zone. Leave the most difficult, unless you can get a group for them - don'twaste too much time on it, though. Move onto the last zone and complete all, or nearly allof the quests available in that zone. By this time, you should be about level 17-18. Goback to the first zone, and complete the rest of the quests there.
Typically, my "first zone" is Westfall, in which case you can go back when you are donewith both Loch Modan and Darkshore, and finish the Van Cleef line of quests and be at agood level to run the instance.
Level 20-22:
- Redridge Mountains [Lakeshire, Tower of Azora in Elwynn]
Again, do the easy quests in Redridge, which should take you up to level 21 or 22. Skipthe more difficult quests unless you have a group for them. I'd skip the entire StonewatchKeep area of quests just simply because that entire area itself is crap.
Level 22-30:
- Redridge Mountains [Lakeshire, Tower of Azora in Elwynn]
-Duskwood [Darkshire, Sven's Camp, Abercrombie]
-Wetlands [Menethil Harbor, Greenwarden, N. Loch Modan (The Algaz Gauntlet)]
-Ashenvale [Astranaar ?]
- Stonetalon Mountains [?]
- Elite Area: Dun Modr (Wetlands)
- Instance: The Stockades
- Instance: Shadowfang Keep
- Instance: Blackfathom Deeps
-Happy Loot: Naraxis' Fang (Duskwood)
-Happy Loot: Tiny Crimson Whelpling (Wetlands)
-Grind Area [26]: Dragonmaw Encampment (Wetlands)
-Grind Area [26]: Whelgar's Excavation Site (Wetlands)
-Grind Area [28]: Rotting Orchard (Duskwood)
-Grind Area [28]: Raven Hill Cemetary (Duskwood)
-Grind Area [29]: Vul'Gol Ogre Mound (Duskwood)
Preparation: Purchase Bronze Tube.
Start at either Duskwood or Wetlands. This is where "quest stacking" can come in reallyhandy if you want to be efficient. There are many, many quests that send you to the sameareas, and if you get all of the quests at once, you can knock all of them out withouthaving to run back and forth. Considering Wetlands and Duskwood are fairly bad forhaving their towns on one side of the map and the quest mobs/areas on the other side, thissaves a lot of time. A lot of these are parts of quest chains, so honestly it's hard to know ifyou don't have prior knowledge or do a lot of quest research beforehand - so don't worryabout it too much, but try to be as efficient as you can. Once you finish one of the twonew areas, you should be about level 25 and can go finish the harder parts of Redridge,and then finish the last zone.
Note for Stockades : There are 6 quests you can obtain for this instance. Lakeshire,Darkshire, Wetlands, Van Cleef note continuation (Bazil Thredd), and two fromStormwind.
Level 31-37:
- Stranglethorn Vale [Rebel Camp, Nesingwary's Expedition, Booty Bay]
-Hillsbrad Foothills [Southshore]
-Arathi Highlands [Refuge Pointe]
-Desolace [32]
- Thousand Needles [31]
- Instance: Gnomeregan
-Happy Loot: Howling Blade (Skhowl, Alterac Mountains)
-Happy Loot: Toxic Revenger (Gnomeregan)
-Happy Loot: Tiny Emerald Whelpling (Swamp of Sorrows)
-Grind Area [31]: Kurzen Encampment [!NOTE!] (Stranglethorn Vale) -- [Test needed]
-Grind Area [33]: Stranglethorn Raptors (Stranglethorn Vale)
-Grind Area [33]: Growless Cave (Alterac Mountains)
-Grind Area [34]: Gallow's Corner (Crushridge Ogres - Altarac Mountains)
-Grind Area [36]: Venture Co. Base Camp (Lake Nazferiti - Stranglethorn Vale)
Preparation: Purchase all 15 pages of The Green Hills of Stranglethorn, 4 BloodstoneOre.
Start at Stranglethorn Vale. Quest stacking here is also godly, since you don't want tohave to run all the way to the northern end of the zone, do one or two quests and turnthem back in at Booty Bay. Rebel Camp's quests are largely independent of the rest,though, so you can do those first. Then, head to Booty Bay, where you can pick up twomain quests for the northern area: Investigate the Camp and the start of the Excelsiorchain, both of which takes you to Nesingwary's Expedition, where you obtain all of thenice happy quests there.
Hillsbrad is only good starting at about level 33, at which point you can actually *do* allof the quests that you could obtain at level 30... Arathi only has one or two quests thatyou can actually do right now, but it's listed anyways.
Kurzen Cave has been fixed, which perhaps means that Jungle Fighters andHeadshrinkers have as well, so someone test that out please.
Level 37-43:
- Stranglethorn Vale [Booty Bay, Nesingwary's Expedition, Rebel Camp]
-Arathi Mountains [Refuge Pointe, Faldir's Cove]
- Badlands [Various camps around the zone]
-Desolace [37]
- Elite Area: Stromgarde
- Elite Area: Mosh'ogg Mound
- Instance: Scarlet Monastery
- Instance: Uldaman
- Instance: Razorfen Downs
-Happy Loot: Tiny Black Whelpling (Badlands)
-Grind Area [37]: Lashtail Raptors (Stranglethorn Vale)
-Grind Area [37]: Water Elementals (Stranglethorn Vale)
-Grind Area [37]: Theramore Coast (Dustwallow Marsh) - Turtle Scales & Leathers
-Grind Area [39]: The spider cave north of Brackenwall (Swamp of Sorrows)
-Grind Area [39]: Rock Elementals (Badlands)
-Grind Area [39]: Elder Crag Coyotes (Badlands)
-Grind Area [41]: Scalding Whelps (Badlands)
-Grind Area [41]: Agmond's End (Badlands)
-Grind Area [41]: Ziata'jai Ruins (Venture Co. Stuff, Stranglethorn Vale)
-Grind Area [43]: Naga Explorers (Stranglethorn Vale)
Preparation: Purchase 9 Blue Pearls, 1 Frost Oil, 1 Gyrochronatom, 4 Buzzard Wings, 1Elixir of Water Breathing. 37 is where you obtain your next batch of quests fromStranglethorn Vale. Arathi Highlands has fairly decent quests in Faldir's Cove, or ifyou're feeling group-friendly, knock out the ones in Stromgarde. Badlands has a lot ofnice quests, but you have to actually find them. This is where supplementing experienceby grinding becomes more efficient at times, and at 42-43 you should be closing the lastof your Stranglethorn quests, and be finished with Badlands and Arathi both, as well.Scarlet Monastery. Black Menace or Sword of Serenity. Nothing more needs to be said -except where to obtain the quest: Desolace.
Level 43-46:
- Feralas [Feathermoon Stronghold]
- Tanaris [Gadgetzan, Steamwheedle Port]
- Instance: Zul'Farrak
-Grind Area [43]: Wastewander Bandits (Tanaris)
-Grind Area [44]: Isle of Dread (Feralas - Inside Cave; South of FeathermoonStronghold)
-Grind Area [45]: Feral Scar Vale (Feralas)
-Happy Loot: 14slot bag! Cortello's Riddle quest, starts in one of the ships inStranglethorn Vale for the end of the Bloodsail Buccaneers line of quests.Fairly self explanatory, I guess. Not much going on here, really.
Level 46-50:
- Tanaris [Gadgetzan, Steamwheedle Port]
- The Hinterlands [Aerie Peak]
- Instance: Zul'Farrak
- Instance: Maraudon [49]
- Instance: Temple of Atal'Hakkar [50]
-Grind Area [47]: Undead in Western Ashzara (Azshara)
-Grind Area [47]: Dunemaul Compound (Tanaris)
-Grind Area [47]: Elementals/Golems around The Cauldron + N of it (Searing Gorge) -Elemental Leatherworking Supplies
At this point, you more than likely have a bunch of quests saved up for The Hinterlands -including but not limited to, the quest to gather Wildkin Feathers (from RutheranVillage), the quest to obtain a snapshot of Gammerita, the quest to obtain Violet Trajan,the last part of Cortello's Riddle, etc. Feel free to knock them all out at once.Level 50-55:
- Searing Gorge [Kalaran Windblade]
- Blasted Lands [Blood Elf camp]
-Un'Goro Crater [Marshal's Refuge]
- Felwood [Emerald Sanctuary]
- Burning Steppes [Morgan's Vigil]

-Grind Area [55]: Jadefire Run, Felpaw Village (Felwood)
The quests in Blasted Lands all stack on top of each other. Five in total, one for each stat;they give 4700 experience per turn-in, along with always the chance of obtaining aDraenethyst Sphere for Kumi'sha the Collector with every mob you kill. Un'Goro Craterhas the biggest collection of quests out of all of these zones.
Level 55-60:
-Winterspring [Everlook, Starfall Village]
-Western Plaguelands [Chillwind Point]
- Eastern Plaguelands [Light's Hope Chapel]
- Instance: Blackrock Depths
- Instance: Blackrock Spire [60]
- Instance: Stratholme [60]
- Instance: Scholomance [60]
-Grind Area [55]: Felstone Field, Dalson's Tears, The Writhing Haunt, Gahrron's
Withering (Western Plaguelands)
-Grind Area [56]: Northridge Lumber Camp (Western Plaguelands)
-Grind Area [56]: Corin's Crossing (Eastern Plaguelands)
-Grind Area [56]: The Pillar of Ash (Burning Steppes)
-Grind Area [56]: Winterfall Village (Winterspring)
-Grind Area [57]: Blackrock Stronghold (Burning Steppes) [NOTE]
-Grind Area [57]: Ice Thistle Hills (Wintespring) - Rugged Leathers
Notes: Blackrock Stronghold is probably the best place to grind for a rogue; however,you do have to get used to how the roamers work. You'll probably die a few times alongthe way while learning them. Also, this might likely be another area where they'reincreasing the armor on the mobs, but two of the four kinds of orcs that spawn arecasters, anyway. Ice Thistle Hills is not the best place to grind for experience, but it'sprobably one of the better places to get a nice quiet grind going and also leave with a fewbackpacks full of Rugged Leather.
Okay -- So this isn't really a "complete" grind area list, because honestly, you only haveto sit down and grind at one or two places for a few levels before you can move onto thenext tier of zones, and that's typically what I did. Just sit down and grind at one place,don't move around everywhere and you'll be out of there in a few hours or days. I've triedmy best to list the best quest areas and zones as well for those that would rather try toquest and not grind their way through the game, too, but that's also somewhat incomplete,especially at later stages since I don't have much knowledge of the various new queststhey implemented in Winterspring and the Plaguelands.
