News Tag: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold

WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 5 is nearing its end, with the final boss of Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, C'Thun, finally succumbing to the combined siege of players. Phase 6 will usher in the final major storyline.

With the opening of the undead fortress of Naxxramas, Scourge will once again sweep across Azeroth. Alliance and Horde players will relive the battle against Lich King.

WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6 Release Date

Although the official release date for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Phase 6 has not yet been announced, this estimate is based on the 11-12 week interval between phases and Phase 5's release date of July 10, 2025. Phase 6, which will introduce the Naxxramas raid and Scourge invasion, is expected to release on September 25, 2025.

Naxxramas Raid

Naxxramas is a floating city above Stratholme in Eastern Plaguelands, controlled by Kel'Thuzad, one of Lich King's emissaries.

In addition to earning WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and epic gear in this raid, defeating bosses in each zone will drop desecrated tokens, which, when combined with the corresponding materials, can be exchanged for Tier 3 sets of each class. These sets are the most powerful Tier 3 sets for WoW Classic 20th Anniversary.

Naxxramas raid is a large 40-player raid with a minimum level of 60. To enter the raid, you must have reached Honored with Argent Dawn and completed a simple introductory quest, The Dread Citadel - Naxxramas, at the dungeon entrance. This quest will require some WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and materials. Higher reputations reduce the required materials, and reaching Exalted grants free entry.

Naxxramas Raid Bosses

There are 15 bosses in Naxxramas raid, located in various areas.

Spider Wing (Arachnid Quarter):

• Anub'Rekhan
• Grand Widow Faerlina
• Maexxna

Plague Wing (Plague Quarter):

• Noth the Plaguebringer
• Heigan the Unclean
• Loatheb

Deathknight Wing (Military Quarter):

• Instructor Razuvious
• Gothik the Harvester
• Four Horsemen

Abomination Wing (Construct Quarter):

• Patchwerk
• Grobbulus
• Gluth
• Thaddius

Frostwyrm Lair:

• Sapphiron
• Kel'Thuzad

In addition, challenging Sapphiron requires the team to prepare certain frost resistance equipment, and each member must be prepared with frost resistance potions.

Defeating Kel'Thuzad will drop Splinter of Atiesh. Collecting 40 fragments and completing the corresponding quest will grant you the legendary weapon, Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian. This staff is wieldable by priests, mages, druids, and warlocks.

Scourge Invasion Event

Scourge Invasion is a limited-time world event that occurs around the opening of Naxxramas dungeon.

Scourge will invade six zones: Azshara, Winterspring, Tanaris, Blasted Lands, Burning Steppes, and Eastern Plaguelands. These zones are marked with purple skulls on the map.

Scourge Invasion Rewards

In addition to the usual EXP and WoW 20th Anniversary gold, killing the invading undead monsters will also drop Necrotic Runes.

Necrotic Runes can be exchanged for various rewards at Argent Dawn Quartermaster in Light's Hope Chapel, including Blessed Wizard Oil (for magic) and Consecrated Sharpening Stone (for physical). These two consumables are powerful buffs for progressing through Naxxramas (each character can only carry a maximum of 20).

Also available is Tabard of the Argent Dawn, which includes gloves, bracers, and robes. This set is effective against undead creatures and has good stats. There's also a new three-piece set:

• Regalia of Undead Cleansing
• Undead Slayer's Armor
• Garb of the Undead Slayer
• Battlegear of Undead Slaying

Participating in events and redeeming rewards can quickly increase your Argent Dawn reputation, which is crucial for entering Naxxramas and obtaining cold resistance enchants for gear.

How To Play Scourge Invasion?

You'll need to travel to these areas and attack the undead monsters that appear beneath Scourge Necropolis to weaken the energy within Necrotic Rune Crystal. When the crystal's energy reaches zero, four Cultist Engineers will appear. Talking to them with eight Necrotic Runes will summon Shadow of Doom. Killing it will temporarily clear the scourge circle in the area.

Each Cultist Engineer will drop the following items:

• Necrotic Rune (30) (guaranteed drop)
• Corruptor's Scourgestone (guaranteed drop)
• Robe of Undead Cleansing (chance drop)
• Unic of Undead Slaying (chance drop)
• Chestguard of Undead Slaying (chance drop)
• or Breastplate of Undead Slaying (chance drop)

In addition, some dungeons will have new undead bosses:

• Balzaphon in Live Stratholme
• Lady Falther'ess in Razorfen Downs
• Lord Blackwood in Scholomance
• Revanchion in Dire Maul
• Scorn in Scarlet Monastery Graveyard
• Sever in Shadowfang Keep

Field Duty Silithus

Field Duty Silithus is a series of repeatable PvP quests in Silithus, where Alliance and Horde players must defend their respective towers. The faction that successfully holds the tower will receive bonus damage against the undead. However, this bonus does not apply to Naxxramas raid boss.

In addition, earning Cenarion Circle reputation will earn you WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and gear.

This concludes Phase 6 of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary. Naxxramas raid promises to be another formidable challenge following Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Warriors of Alliance and Horde, sharpen your blades and save Azeroth from Lich King!

It’s been a while since WoW Classic’s 20th anniversary abilities, but WoW 20th Anniversary servers are still going strong and waiting for you to continue playing!

As WoW 20th Phase 4, which kicked off on May 1, comes to an end, whether you’re new to the game or a long-time player, now’s the time to focus on the main content of Phase 5!

The phase officially begins on July 10, 2025 at 3:00 PM PDT. You’ll be able to earn WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and new class sets by completing a series of new quests and dungeons.

Next, we’ll walk you through all the new content in Phase 5 to help you grab more loot!

Ahn’Qiraj War Effort

Think of it as a pre-quest to complete the two main dungeons in Phase 5. In this mission, you need to accumulate enough resources for your faction and deliver them to the corresponding commander within five days to help your faction open the gates of Ahn’Qiraj.

Bang A Gong!

This quest is actually the final quest of The Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline. If you are the first player on the entire server to complete this quest, you will be able to open the gates of Ahn’Qiraj for others and obtain Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal mount.

Or if you can get the final reward of The Scepter of the Shifting Sands through this quest line, you can also get the mount by completing Bang a Gong! during Ten Hour War - but yes, it’s only 10 hours.

The entire The Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline is very long and includes multiple fragmented tasks. So if you don’t want to miss the mount reward and can’t be the “first”, you must hurry up!

In general, this quest line mainly includes the following stages:

• Stage 1: First Three Quests
• Stage 2: The Reputation Grind
• Stage 3: Finally Continuing
• Stage 4: The Three Scepter Shard Quest Lines
• Final Stage: Open The Gates!

In addition, some tasks in the quest line will require you to turn in specific resources. In order to avoid delays, it is recommended that you farm them in advance and put them in your backpack:

• 20x Arcanite Bar
• 10x Elementium Ore
• 10x Azerothian Diamond
• 10x Blue Sapphire
• 20x Goblin Rocket Fuel
• 20x Deeprock Salt

20 Players Raid: The Ruins Of Ahn’Qiraj

This is the first dungeon you will face after the gate is opened. It resets every 3 days and its entrance is located in the south of Silithus. Completing it will earn you rewards such as gold, Cenarion Circle reputation and new enchantment recipes, and you will also have the opportunity to learn new ranks of spells.

There are 6 bosses in this dungeon, each with different combat skills and main drop rewards. You need to deal with them one by one according to their characteristics:

This dungeon is only accessible after the server-wide event Ahn’Qiraj War Effort is completed. You and your teammates will encounter 9 bosses in it (3 are optional). They provide basic loot similar to The Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, but also drop rarer rewards.

• The Prophet Skeram: Amulet of Foul Warding, Pendant of the Qiraji Guardian, Cloak of Concentrated Hatred.
• Battleguard Sartura: Necklace of Purity, Leggings of the Festering Swarm, Recomposed Boots.

Two New Class Sets

If you can defeat all bosses in the above two dungeons and increase your reputation with Cenarion Circle and Brood of Nozdormu, you can get two new sets based on your class. They are:

• Druid: Symbols of Unending Life / Genesis Raiment
• Hunter: Trappings of the Unseen Path / Striker’s Guard
• Mage: Trappings of Vaulted Secrets / Enigma Vestments

The above are all the main contents of Phase 5. You can experience more details in person after the phase is officially opened. I hope you can have an exciting summer in WoW 20th Anniversary!

WoW 20th Phase 3 has been open for some time, and the estimated opening time of Phase 4 is the spring of 2025, and it may be officially opened soon. The content of Phase 4 Rise of The Blood God is equally exciting. It will mainly open two contents, Zul’Gurub Raid and The Dragons of Nightmare World Bosses.

Zul’Gurub Raid is the first 20-man team dungeon launched in WoW 20th Anniversary. It is also considered a catch-up team raid, allowing players who are a little behind in progress to grow quickly. The difficulty and mechanism of the raid are more friendly to players and guilds, and the reset time is shorter. Zul’Gurub Raid offers rewards including 20th WoW Gold, gear, and two mounts: Swift Razzashi Raptor and Swift Zulian Tiger.

Zul’Gurub Raid

Zul’Gurub is located in the northeastern portion of Stranglethorn Vale, east of Lake Nazferiti. It was once the capital of Gurubashi Trolls, but was eventually destroyed by civil war and corruption. Centuries later, Atal’ai Priests returned to Zul’Gurub to summon Blood God, Hakkar, for evil purposes.

Zandalar Tribe now seeks adventurers to help them stop this summoning. Zul’Gurub Raid resets every 72 hours (basically every 3 days). Alliance players can choose to enter Zul’Gurub from Duskwood into Stranglethorn Vale, or go north from Booty Bay. The fastest route for Horde players is from Grom’gol Base Camp in Stranglethorn Vale.

Boss Overview

In Zul’Gurub Raid, you must first defeat the five high priests before fighting Blood God, Hakkar, because these five high priests will provide very powerful buffs to Blood God, Hakkar. Killing the corresponding high priest will make Hakkar lose the corresponding buff. If you challenge Blood God, Hakkar directly, it will be very difficult.

The buffs provided by each high priest to Hakkar are as follows:

• Aspect of Jeklik (High Priestess Jeklik): Causes about 1500 AOE damage and silences everyone in the area for 8 seconds, an average of once every 21 seconds.
• Aspect of Venoxis (High Priest Venoxis): Corrupted Blood will cause about 450 damage to the team every 2 seconds, and the frequency of activation is relatively high.
• Aspect of Mar’li (High Priestess Mar’li): Launched against the target with the highest hatred, Gouges for 2 seconds, and clears the hatred of this target. Tanks are required to accumulate hatred in turns.
• Aspect of Thekal (High Priest Thekal): Hakkar’s attack speed is increased by 150%.
• Aspect of Arlokk (High Priestess Arlokk: Usually launched on the target with the highest hatred, stunning it for 6 seconds.

Zul’Gurub Raid Loot

Boss Loots

Each high priest has a separate loot pool, but some loot is shared:

• Band of Servitude
• Seal of the Gurubashi Berserker
• Belt of Untapped Power
• Blooddrenched Mask
• Cloak of the Hakkari Worshipers
• Gloves of the Tormented
• Might of the Tribe
• Sacrificial Gauntlets
• Zulian Headdress
• Zulian Scepter of Rites

The loot in Zul’Gurub Raid is very rich, including various weapons, gears, rings and amulets and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold. Because of space limitations, the following are some of the more important loot:

• Band of Servitude
• Heart of Hakkar
• Seal of the Gurubashi Berserker
• Swift Razzashi Raptor
• Swift Zulian Tiger
• Warblade of the Hakkari (Main hand) & Warblade of the Hakkari (Offhand)
• Zin’rokh, Destroyer of Worlds

Non-Boss Loots

Zul’Gurub will also provide a new set of armor for each class. Each set contains 5 pieces of epic quality gear. However, the sets themselves are not boss drops in Zul’Gurub Raids, but are obtained through quest rewards and reputation requirements with Zandalar Tribe. Instead, you need to collect loot to craft the armor.

These armors are:

• Druid: Haruspex’s Garb
• Hunter: Predator’s Armor
• Mage: Illusionist’s Attire
• Paladin: Freethinker’s Armor
• Priest: Confessor’s Raiment
• Rogue: Madcap’s Outfit
• Shaman: Augur’s Regalia
• Warlock: Demoniac’s Threads
• Warrior: Vindicator’s Battlegear

Note that while all 5 pieces are part of a set, you can only obtain the actual necklace when you reach Exalted status with Zandalar Tribe. Once you have reached enough reputation with Zandalar Tribe, you can add enchants with specific class properties to your Helm or Leg slots at Zanza the Restless. Here are the enchantments:

• Druid (Animist’s Caress): +10 Stamina +10 Intellect, +24 Healing
• Hunter (Falcon’s Call): +24 Ranged Attack Power, +10 Stamina, +1% Hit
• Mage (Presence of Sight): +18 Damage/Healing, +1% Spell Hit

• Shaman (Vodouisant’s Vigilant Embrace): +15 Intellect, +13 Damage/Healing
• Warlock (Hoodoo Hex): +10 Stamina, +18 Damage/Healing
• Warrior (Presence of Might): +10 Stamina, +7 Defense, +15 Shield Block

2. Quests

3. Collect Bijous

The above is a brief introduction to Zu’Gurub rewards. Because Zu’Gurub Raid has so much content, there are still many rewards that have not been introduced in detail. New and old players can look forward to it.

The date of the highly popular WoW 20th Anniversary phase 3 has been announced, and players can return to Azeroth at 3 pm Pacific Time on March 20 to start your epic chapter.

The above is the general content of WoW 20th Anniversary Phase 3. Players can arrange when to return to Azeroth according to your own schedule.

World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary event, which provided you with a ton of new activities, rewards, and buffs, has ended, Caverns of Time have returned to normal, and most of NPCs and decorations that appeared at the celebration site have disappeared.

But if you pay close attention, you will find that one NPC has not left you. That is Alyx, a NPC you helped in Guest Relations mystery questlines. He has now moved to the hot springs northwest of Delver headquarters building in Dornogal, which can be seen on the path to Foundation Hall.

Alyx not only brings you the titles of Volunteer Event Coordinator, Among Other Things, but also a notepad with the locations of Celebration Crates containing tons of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold hidden around the world.

Once you have completed all the hidden item collections, you will be awarded a number of titles, the most important of which is Detective, which will help you unlock the ability to open the mystery and find Indecipherable Felcycle mount Incognitro that has been elusive to all WoW players.

To reduce the time you spend searching for Alyx and the 11 missing Celebration Crates, this guide will show you their specific locations and strategies you can use during your exploration so that you can complete this collection quest faster and get the final title.

Steps

First you need to find Lightforged Draenei NPC in Dornogal, Alyx and the clue board it has, which can be found in Foundation Hall and on the stairs leading to Delver’s Headquarters.

Then follow all the clues on this notepad to find all 11 missing Celebration Crates in World of Warcraft. Please note that although you can start Celebration Crate quests after your character reaches level 10, Dornogal requires you to reach level 68 to unlock it. Here are specific locations of 3 special Celebration Crates.

The first thing you should find is Celebration Crate in Ternaries. Just go to the coastline patrolled by Doomwalkers and dive into the deep sea to find it. But remember to use Water Breathing Potion first, so that you can support yourself to the right building in the southeast. Once you find this building, swim to the second floor, and you will find Crate under a bed in a room.

Celebration Crate in Thousand Needles is a bit more difficult to find, as it requires you to travel through different zones. You need to go to Fizzle and Pozzik’s Speedbarge, then fly or swim southwest to Sunken Digsite, and then swim to Silithid hive. In the huge hive, turn right and go straight into a dead end with a pipe.

There is an interactive note next to the pipe, which you need to take to the eastern edge of Azsuna in Broken Isles, where there is a very long path, and a merchant named Vashti. You need to pay 500 WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold to get the treasure chest offered here.

In this Forgotten Crypt behind Karazhan in Deadwind Pass, you need to go through the well and then go down Pauper’s Walk. You will then see that the road splits in two directions, and you should go left and then go down, which will lead you to a large room. On the far right of this room, you will see a partially submerged tomb, which you can search for some useful loot rewards.

But your focus should be on the far left corner of the room, where you will see a crate. When you interact with it, it will give you a quest to talk to Alyx, and after you complete the quest, you will get this Celebration Crate.

The above is the three most worthy of your attention among the 11 Celebration Crates. Turning in six Celebration Crates earns your Crate Insurance Agent title, while turning in 11 Celebration Crates earns you No Crate Left Behind, Azeroth’s Greatest Detective, and Detective title.

The developers took into account that many players only participated in Incognitro secret quests during the anniversary event, but did not obtain Greatest Detective achievement in Azeroth by obtaining Dalaran Survivor in Donorgal to uncover the final mystery, so Alyx was moved to Donorgal and players were allowed to have the right to turn in Celebration Crates indefinitely, which would give all players a certain chance to obtain Felcycle mount.

However, it is worth reminding you that the other Guest Relations quests in the current WoW 20th Anniversary Event are no longer available, because most of the tasks are heavily dependent on the venue of the event, which means that achievements such as Assistant to Assistant Guest Relations Manager and I Saved the Party and All I Got Were These Lousy Hats can no longer be completed, but it does not mean that World of Warcraft will not bring them back in the future by increasing the rewards!

Since World of WarCraft first opened the door to Azeroth to players in 2004, this epoch-making MMORPG has accompanied players around the world for 20 years. As one of the most influential works in the history of games, WoW Classic released its 20th Anniversary Edition on November 21, 2024.

The server of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary is a brand new server, which means that all players have to start over. During the operation of the 20th anniversary, the official will divide the update content into several stages. The first and second stages have been released, and it is expected that around March 20, 2025, the game will usher in the third stage. The content that will be updated in the third stage is Blackwing Lair, Darkmoon Faire.

Blackwing Lair Background

Blackwing Lair is the home of Nefarian, the son of Deathwing and brother of Onyxia. Originally, Dark Iron Dwarves built this area, but Nefarian took over the place, intending to use it as a base to rule all of Azeroth.

How To Enter Blackwing Lair?

Blackwing Lair is a large raid with very generous rewards. In addition to a large amount of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold, there are also gear for each class.

Blackwing Lair is adjacent to Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire and Molten Core, and is located inside Blackrock Mountain. Blackrock Mountain has two entrances: Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes.

Searing Gorge

After entering Searing Gorge, follow the initial path into Molten Span. You will see a long chain to the east leading to a broken stone ledge. You need to run up the chain and then follow the ledge around the corner. When you reach the edge of the ledge, you will find a balcony below the edge. Jump onto this balcony. Go through the doorway to Blackrock Spire dungeon portal. If you have completed Blackwing Lair Attunement, run down the corridor and you will see an orb. Touch the orb to enter Blackwing Lair.

Burning Steppes

After entering Burning Steppes, you need to take the path to the left to enter Molten Span. This path leads to a long chain of rock ledges. The path behind and along is the same as when entering from Searing Gorge.

Blackwing Lair Attunement

Blackwing Lair is located on the upper level of Blackrock Spire. Specifically, it is in the hallway after Warchief Rend Blackhand event. But you can also find a shortcut to get in quickly.

If you are facing the entrance to Blackrock Spire, turn right now and look down the hallway. You will see several Scarshield mobs, including a Scarshield Quartermaster. After killing them, Scarshield Quartermaster will drop Blackhand’s Command, which will then start Blackhand’s Command quest.

For this quest, you need to touch Orb of Ascension behind Drakkisath. Drakkisath is the final boss of Blackrock Spire. Once you’re done, you can return to the corridor where you killed Scarshield Quartermaster and quickly enter Blackwing Lair, which is located to the right of the entrance to Blackrock Spire. You’ll see an orb at the end of the corridor and touch this orb to enter Blackwing Lair.

Class Specific Trinkets

In addition to the regular WoW Classic 20th Anniversary gold and equipment, Blackwing Lair bosses will also drop unique trinkets for each class. Here is a list of trinkets for each class in Blackwing Lair:

• Druid: Rune of Metamorphosis (Trinkets), Vaelastrasz the Corrupt (Boss).
• Hunter: Arcane Infused Gem (Trinkets), Razorgore the Untamed (Boss).
• Mage: Mind Quickening Gem (Trinkets), Vaelastrasz the Corrupt (Boss).

• Warrior: Lifegiving Gem (Trinkets), Broodlord Lash layer (Boss).

Overview Of Bosses

As a team dungeon, Blackwing Lair’s quest route is basically linear. You and your team will encounter a total of 8 bosses in the dungeon:

• Razorgore the Untamed: In the first boss battle, you need to control Razorgore to destroy all the eggs before you can officially start the battle with Razorgore.
• Vaelastrasz the Corrupt: In the second boss battle, the player has three minutes to relieve Vaelastrasz the Corrupt from the pain, otherwise it will be enraged.
• Broodlord Lashlayer: The third boss battle, Broodlord Lashlayer will constantly affect the tanks on the team, reducing their threat.
• Firemaw: The fourth boss battle, it will use Shadow Flame, and players need Onyxia Scale Cloak to avoid this damage.
• Ebonroc: The fifth boss battle, it will also use Shadow Flame, players also need Onyxia Scale Cloak to avoid this damage, but also need to pay attention to its Shadow of Ebonroc skill.
• Flamegor: The sixth boss battle. It is one of the dragons that can use Shadow Flam, and it can also use Fire Nova skill. Hunters must use Tranquilizing Shot to deal with this skill.
• Chromaggus: The seventh boss battle. Chromaggus is Nefarian’s pet, and it has 5 breath methods, but only uses two of them in a battle.
• Nefarian: The last boss battle, he has two forms, human and dragon, he will Shadow Flame, and every 25 to 35 seconds, he will “summon” a class to make the class in your team affected by the debuff.

The above is a brief introduction to Blackwing Lair. As a large-scale team dungeon, its difficulty is absolutely beyond doubt. You’d better be prepared before participating in this dungeon. It is recommended that you farm gold first and then upgrade weapons and equipment, at least so that your character can produce effective output to the boss or be able to withstand the damage of the boss.

With the 20th anniversary, World of WarCraft series launched a new anniversary server on November 21: WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, and it is progressing smoothly. As a result, you will find that many new characters can also take this opportunity to level up in the early game.

Although the leveling process of WoW Classic is slow, with the 20th Anniversary version, you can actually level up faster than usual if you choose the right zone. WoW series has many zones covering the entire two continents, but not all of them provide you with the same leveling bonus.

Although the new zones brought by WoW Classic 20th Anniversary may make you want to try to challenge those less common zones, if you also plan to reach the end of the game as soon as possible, those destinations that provide rich trials and allow you to get a lot of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold and XP drops can speed up the process.

Based on this, we will provide you with some valuable references for choosing zones for leveling up.

What Are The Characteristics Of The Zone Suitable For Leveling Up?

In fact, all great leveling zones have their own characteristics. Leveling in WoW Classic used to rely more on defeating monsters to gain XP, which was reflected in the quest design as a variation in killing and gathering quests. Quests are a luxury for zones, and not every zone has the same number of quests that can provide you with monster grinding.

In WoW series, one of the core components of a good leveling zone is many quests, because only in this way can you be guided and rewarded enough XP. And unlike zone balance and the ever-increasing WoW leveling speed, zone selection can make the standard glacial speed feel less overwhelming.

Now to further improve the efficiency of WoW Classic 20th Anniversary zones, top questing zones will have both high quest and monster density. And since you can’t unlock ground mounts until level 40, if you want to pick the best leveling zone, you also need to consider the amount of travel - quests and objectives are best when they can be put together.

In fact, by minimizing downtime, you can easily flow between quests and zones. Don’t forget to make sure you’re also leveling up your professions as you travel between zones, as keeping professions in sync with your character level can minimize backtracking to save you time.

Best Leveling Zones For Horde Players

If you’re a Horde player, then after leaving the three starting zones, it’s recommended that you prioritize The Barrens as your next destination. Not only is it the most classic leveling zone in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary, it’s also full of rich and challenging content and supports level 10-25.

It’s worth mentioning that The Barrens chat is also one of the most active chats in the history of WoW series, because there are so many quests, players, and content here. In addition, another benefit of The Barrens is that it is the first dungeon worth entering as a Horde player, and it’s just a few minutes away from your initial quest center.

In The Barrens, Hillsbrad Foothills is a solid choice to fill the level gap between quests. Nearly every quest is located in the central hub, Tarren Mill:

Shadowfang Keep is located in nearby Silverpine Forest, which can provide you with some nice early-game gear if you’re an intellect user; the West Needles zone in Thousand Needles can fill the level gap in The Barrens, as it’s close to The Barrens.

Best Leveling Zones For Alliance Players

Since Alliance zones were created earlier, you’ll find that you’ll feel more guided when choosing a leveling zone if you’re an Alliance player. After completing the three respective starting zones, Elywnn Forest, Teldrassil, and Dun Murough, you can head to Westfall.

Westfall is essentially a perpetual autumn farmland besieged by bandits, with iconic visuals and storylines. Of course, it also has a surprisingly large density of mobs and quests to keep you leveling up, as well as access to loot-rich Deadmines. Before you head into Deadmines, though, don’t forget to complete the long quest chain starting with The Defias Brotherhood to get a huge chunk of Classic 20th Anniversary Gold.

Westfall has a lot of plot lines that are intertwined with the surrounding zones of Duskwood and Redridge. So not only can you easily move between zones to make up for level gaps, but you can also get attractive rewards after completing the related quests.

In fact, there is a lot of fluidity between the three zones, and if you want to level up quickly as an Alliance player, it’s best to find a way to get into these three closely connected zones as soon as possible.

Obviously, depending on which faction you play, there are different zones suitable for you to level up quickly in WoW Classic 20th Anniversary.
