Durotar levelling guide (levels 1–10) for WoW Forever
Orcs and Trolls begin in the Valley of Trials, a dry canyon of boars, scorpids and imps.
| Levels | Faction | Continent | Next zones |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–10 |  Horde |
Kalimdor | Tirisfal Glades, The Barrens |
When to level here
- On the beta route Orcs and Trolls stay here until about 13.
- Then, instead of going straight to the Barrens, they take the zeppelin north to Tirisfal Glades for Forever's new content and the Ruins of Lordaeron dungeon.
- After that they come back south.
What's new in Forever
- The Lost in the Shadows escort was also made to reset faster.
