Some help for a noob

[Ashock]

Once nice thing about dashing over to Darnassus is that it opens up a number of Darkshore quests that will be fast and easy at 19. You'll find the same situation in Loch Modan, but I like the Darkshore quests better. :)

Hints for the Darnassus area:

The bank is in the big tree in the middle of the west side. The exit to the NE newbie areas is to the east. There is a weapon trainer; any guard will direct you to him.

To get out of Darnassus and off the World Tree, walk through the pink portal west of the bank. Run down to the griff master and get the flight point, and then take the boat to Darkshore. The griff master in Auberdine is on a platform beside the inn. Don't forget to get that flight point. :)

There are lots of NPCs with quests in Auberdine. There's also a forge and anvil there.

There are some quests up and down the shore finding beached sea creatures. They give good reputation, and are nice if you want extra credit for heading in a direction you'd be going anyway. See the NPC on the griff master's platform.

To get to more challenging quests in the Ashenvale area, take the road from Auberdine south to Astranaar, the flight point in Ashenvale. You can also get some quests in Stonetalon, which is accessed through a tunnel southwest of Astranaar, just east of a lake with a NE outpost (Nightsong Retreat?). There are two or three NPC's in Astranaar who will give you quests to go there.

Once you're in Auberdine, it would be a good idea to take the other boat ride to Menethil Harbor and get the flight point there, even if you're coming right back to Aub. It connects to Ironforge and is a major pathway from Ironforge/Stormwind to Kalimdor. Menethil is also a launching point for level 20+ quests.

Just FYI, the boat rides are free and run both ways every few minutes. There's one from Auberdine to Menethil, Menethil to Theramore, and the short run from Ru'theran/Darnassus to Auberdine. There's also one in Feralas, but you won't be seeing that one for a bit. :)
