this is something i was looking for but didnt find; if i were to run a new NE to the dwarf starting area how would that affect my ability to do the starter quests?

Not 100% sure, but I think there is Druid Trainer in Stormwind. Park area. That's not terribly far.

Yes, there are Druid Trainers in Stormwind. I noticed them when I went over there to find a quest giver.


As for doing the starter quests - you can do them at any level but once they are 'gray' to you (meaning you are too high a level to get exp from the fighting), the quest givers won't have the yellow "!" over their heads to signal they have a quest for you. You would have to try 'talking' to pretty much every NPC you can find in the newbie area to see if they will offer you a quest.


My 'normal' routine is to do all of the 1-10 quests in my own starting area and then go to another starting area around level 13 and do those starting quests and then hit the third starting area for those quests. I also try to fit in some of the quests from the 10-20 areas while they are still green and yellow to me which isn't too hard since I am not gaining a lot of experience by doing the other starting quests at a higher level. I do this mainly for the reputation gains since it is nice to hit honored with all of the races in my faction for the discounts.

I took my NE hunter to the dwarf area, got him to level 10 and accepted the hunter quest line that would get me my first pet... well, the very first quest wanted me to talk to an NPC that was ALL the way back in the NE starting area....

So from my own experience, if you're rolling an NE hunter, stick in the starting area.

Webjunky's problem applies to any class. Any NE that heads east will find themselves having to return to Darnassus at around lvl 10 for their first class quest. I'd probably stay in Teldrassil until that quest is done, then venture out into the world after that.

The starting stats are pretty much meaningless - your high agility will be pretty much irrelevant by about lvl 10. If you're certain that you want a NE skinner though, I'd stay in Teldrassil, then move to Auberdine at around lvl 10. There are bears, cats and striders all over Auberdine which can be skinned.

I wouldn't really worry too much about how fast skinning goes up though - my skinning was always far higher than I needed for mobs I could kill - I hit 300 skinning (suitable for skinning lvl 60s) whilst still killing lvl 40 mobs.

High agility would suggest you want a rogue, hunter or maybe warrior for your character. Whatever class you'd want, I'd reccommend Dwarf. Why?

1 - We get good classes (Rogue, Warrior, Hunter, Paladin, Priest).
2 - The starting area is the best of all six, in my opinion.
3 - Stoneform is a useful Dwarf-only ability, although it's less useful if you roll a pally.
4 - Dwarfs sound Scottish, which is fun. It really suits them, too.
5 - The world needs more Dwarfs. Bonus points for rolling a Dwarf Rogue :)
