Orgrimmar in Forever

- After "Warlord's Command" in Lower Blackrock Spire, Warlord Goretooth sends you to report to Eitrigg in Orgrimmar, then to Thrall.
- "For the Horde!": bring Thrall the head of Warchief Rend Blackhand.
- "What the Wind Carries": Thrall sends you to find Rexxar in Desolace.
Full steps: raids and attunement.

Levelling tips for this city
- Set your hearthstone in the Barrens once you are questing there, and fly back to Orgrimmar to train.
- Your first Legacy point usually comes when a character reaches level 25. After that, Frequent Flier makes flights cheaper and faster, and Well Rested raises the rested XP cap (Blizzard: Legacy System).
- Inns build rested XP. Log out in one between sessions Classic Era baseline.
Resting in Orgrimmar Classic Era baseline
Innkeeper Gryshka's inn is in the Valley of Strength. Blizzard later renamed and rebuilt it as the Broken Tusk, but the inn was already there in the original game (warcraft.wiki.gg: Broken Tusk).
The whole city counts as resting, so after training you can log out anywhere inside the gates. One bubble of rested XP is 10% of a level. It takes 16 hours to earn in an inn or a capital, or 64 hours logged out anywhere else, and it caps at 150% of a level (warcraft.wiki.gg: Rest). Keep your hearthstone on Razor Hill or your current questing town, and walk or ride into Orgrimmar when you need to train.
More in hearthstone, inns and rested XP.
