Azshara quests (Classic Era baseline)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Azshara is a 45–55 zone with fewer quests than its neighbours. What it does have pays well, and several quests send you on round trips to the capital cities. Horde players use Valormok in the southwest, and Alliance players have Talrendis Point near the Ashenvale border. Many of the best quests are neutral.

For flight paths and grinding see Azshara.

Neutral quests

Loh'atu (Ashenvale border)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Quest (ID) Level / Req Objective Reward
Spiritual Unrest (5535) 47 / 45 6 Highborne Apparitions, 6 Highborne Lichlings 4,200 XP, 50s
A Land Filled with Hatred (5536) 47 / 45 6 Haldarr Satyr, 2 Tricksters, 2 Felsworn 4,200 XP, 70s

These two make a good first stop. The Highborne ghosts are in the ruins just inside the zone, and the Haldarr satyr camp is a short ride away.

Kim'jael

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Quest (ID) Level / Req Objective Reward
Kim'jael Indeed! (3601) 53 / 47 Recover his Compass, Scope, Stuffed Chicken and Wizzlegoober from the Thalassian Base Camp 6,550 XP, 8s, 3 consumables
Kim'jael's "Missing" Equipment (5534) 53 / 47 Take "Some Rune" from the naga in the Ruins of Eldarath 6,550 XP, 1g 60s

Both pay unusually high XP for their level. The blood elf camp is crowded, so clear it with care. Horde can do the Betrayed kills (below) on the same visit.

Loramus Thalipedes

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Loramus lives on an island off the east coast. His chain is level 57–58, which makes it end-game Azshara:

  1. Loramus (3141), listen to his story (600 XP).
  2. Breaking the Ward (3508), wait for his spell (3,100 XP).
  3. The Name of the Beast (3509), find Lord Arkkoroc at the Temple of Arkkoran on the shore (6,200 XP).
  4. The Name of the Beast (3510), kill Hetaera and bring back her three heads (6,200 XP, 2g 65s).
  5. The Name of the Beast (3511), take Hetaera's Blood back to Loramus (3,100 XP).

This chain ties into the warlock and demon-hunter story that continues in the Blasted Lands (Kirith, The Cover of Darkness, Azsharite). We don't cover that part here. Hetaera is a roaming naga, so group up for her.

A Crew Under Fire (3382)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Captain Vanessa Beltis, on a wrecked ship along the coast, asks you to defend her crew from a naga attack. Level 57, so leave it until late.

Horde: Valormok

Jediga's tablets

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Stealing Knowledge (3517), level 52, 5,100 XP. Collect the four tablets (Beth'Amara, Jin'yael, Markri and Sael'hai) from the Ruins of Eldarath. Jediga then sends you to deliver them, one to each recipient:

Delivery To Payment quest Total
Delivery to Magatha (3518) Thunder Bluff 3562 2,550 + 3,800 XP, 60s
Delivery to Jes'rimon (3541) Orgrimmar 3563 2,550 + 3,800 XP, 40s + 60s
Delivery to Andron Gant (3542) Undercity 3564 2,550 + 3,800 XP, 60s + 75s
Delivery to Archmage Xylem (3561) Xylem's tower, Azshara 3565 2,550 + 3,800 XP, 40s + 60s

That's more than 30,000 XP for one collection run plus some city travel. Do the deliveries whenever you're visiting a capital anyway. None of them can be shared.

Chemist Cuely

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Seeping Corruption (3568), level 52, 2,550 XP and 40s. Fill four vials at the tide pools along the Ruins of Eldarath shore. Seeping Corruption (3569) then takes the elixir to Thersa Windsong in Undercity.

Betrayed

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Belgrom Rockmaul in Orgrimmar starts this chain.

Quest (ID) Level / Req Objective Reward
Betrayed (3504) 53 / 44 Take the sealed letter to Ag'tor Bloodfist 2,650 XP
Betrayed (3505) 53 / 44 Kill 10 Blood Elf Reclaimers and 10 Surveyors, then find Magus Rimtori's camp 3,950 XP
Betrayed (3506) 56 / 44 Destroy her focusing crystal, kill Rimtori, take her head 4,350 XP
Betrayed (3507) 56 / 44 Return to Belgrom in Orgrimmar 7,300 XP, a choice of two items

Rimtori is listed as a level 55 normal (non-elite) caster, so a careful solo player at level 54-56 can handle her; bring a friend if you are under-levelled.

Alliance

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Quest (ID) Level / Req Giver Objective Reward
Arcane Runes (3449) 52 / 45 Tymor (Stormwind) Make rubbings of the four runes, then signal Pilot Xiggs from the island off the southern peninsula 2,550 XP
An Easy Pickup (3450) 52 / 45 Tymor → Xiggs in Ironforge Talk to Xiggs 510 XP
Signal for Pickup (3451) 52 / 45 Xiggs Fuselighter Collect the flare gun 510 XP, Standard Issue Flare Gun

Get the flare gun from Ironforge before you travel. Without it you can't finish Arcane Runes. The rune locations match the tablet sites that Horde loot, all in the Ruins of Eldarath.

Sanath Lim-yo

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Sanath Lim-yo asks for 2 Undamaged Hippogryph Feathers in A Meeting with the Master (3381), level 48, 2,200 XP. That leads to Meeting with the Master (3503). This is mostly a lore chain.

Suggested route

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

  1. 47: Loh'atu's two bounties when you first arrive.
  2. 52: The Ruins of Eldarath in one sweep: tablets or rune rubbings, the vials, and Kim'jael's rune.
  3. 53: The Thalassian camp: Kim'jael's gear and the Betrayed kills.
  4. City trips: do the tablet deliveries as you pass through each capital.
  5. 57–58: Come back for Loramus and the Beltis defence.
