Ashenvale levelling guide (levels 19–30) for WoW Forever
Ashenvale is an ancient forest where the night elves at Astranaar face the Horde loggers of Splintertree Post.
| Levels | Faction | Continent | Next zones |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19–30 |   Contested |
Kalimdor | Stonetalon Mountains, Thousand Needles |
When to level here
- On the beta routes Night Elves come through at about 21–22, and every Alliance race returns at about 27–30.
- The Horde arrives at about 27–28.
- That puts both factions in this zone at the same time, so expect fights here on PvP-ruleset realms.
What's new in Forever
- Respawn rates went up in the 1 Oct build.
- Blizzard hasn't announced a Battle for Ashenvale-style event for Forever.
