Lets take a minute to see where we are and where we're going in this book. Our last chapter should have brought us through level 56. That leaves us with three main chapters left; Felwood through 57, Western Plaguelands through 58, and Eastern Plaguelands into 59. At that point we could certainly complete Winterspring to begin leveling beyond 60, but we'll be overdue for Outlands, and the action there will be much more rewarding than any time we could spend in the Old World.

We could also head to Hellfire Penninsula as soon as we hit level 58, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you were playing with a group. Even though the mobs are possible at that level, the area is designed to be a shock to the system, and the quests are more complicated, with more unpredictible dangers than their level alone would indicate. The Warcraft soloist will have an easier time, and I think a more enjoyable time, by waiting at least until level 59.

With our time in the Old World winding down, we need to give a little attention to our professions. Outlands is going to be a change of scene, with new materials, new patterns, and a new crafting level cap to go with it. Before you make that transition you must be sure that your gathering and crafting skills have been maxed out at 300. If you're still struggling along at 260, there won't be anything you can gather, you won't be able to take advantage of the new recipes, and you'll have an extremely hard time advancing out there. The best thing to do is to take the next three levels and spend some time maxing out your skills.

So having planned our pathway, lets look at this chapter. The goal is to make it to level 58. Once you have done that, you can return to the Bulwark on the edge of Western Plaguelands.

Felwood 57

Expedition 1 There's one major quest chain in Felwood that focuses on an area known as Jaedenar. In addition, there's the side issue of the Timbermaw furbolgs which can be used for more XP, if you need it.

Felwood has two Horde flightpaths: one in Emerald Sanctuary and the other about halfway up Felwood at Bloodvenom Post, the Horde settlement in this area. To travel from Emerald Sanctuary to Jaedenar you could ride up the road; or you could fly to Bloodvenom and then travel the shorter distance back south. Both routes are about the same, in terms of travel time.

Our work in Felwood begins with the Jaedenar chain. Even though the chain starts with a low level quest, it will rapidly move up to a useful range for us. Begin in Emerald Sanctuary, where we should already have a flightpath. Pick up Forces of Jaedenar (51) from Greta Mosshoof. Talk to Taronn Redfeather in the tent to accept Verifying the Corruption (54). Travel north along the main road from Emerald Sanctuary and you'll find Maybess Riverbreeze on the left side of the road. Accept her quest, Cleansing Felwood (55).

If you visited here previously, you should have the flightpath to Bloodvenom Post. Fly there now. If not, leave Emerald Sanctuary and follow the road north until you reach a wooden bridge with Night Elf gates on either end. This is Bloodvenom Falls. Just south of that bridge, find a torch-marked trail that leads off to the west and ends at Bloodvenom Post. After riding all this way, be sure to pick up the flightpath on the hill behind the campfire.

Speak to Winna Hazard and accept Well of Corruption (54). This is the first of two quests that are so similar that the resulting confusion must be intentional. (Just a little Blizzard joke at your expense, here.) Both ask you to find a corrupted moonwell and collect a sample from it. One is the Jaedenar moonwell in Jaedenar, and the other is the Jadefire moonwell in Constellas, further south.

Return to the main road and follow it south a short ways. You'll find stone columns and an archway leading off to the west at 41, 57. This is the entrance to Jaedenar, and we'll return to it shortly.
