Alliance leveling route 1-60

Zone by zone from your starting area to 60: where the quests are at each level, which flight paths to pick up and which dungeons fit on the way. The quest hubs and their quests come from our database.

The route follows the quest levels in our database. Forever changed some zones and quests, so the order is still being checked in game.

Starting zones

Each race has its own path to about level 20. Pick yours, then continue with the main route.
