In Badlands (Alliance), the Full clear route takes 66 steps: every quest picked up at each hub, done from the nearest to the farthest and turned in on one trip. The Chill route takes 68 steps in story order with smaller loops. Both give each step's spot on the map as a /mappin command; switch between them with the tabs below.

Which Badlands (Alliance) quests should you skip?

The Full clear route skips 17 quests in Badlands (Alliance): the ones that cost more time than they give, such as long escorts, items that drop rarely, or quests that need a group or kill elites. Each one is listed below with the reason. In Chill mode you can still do them; elite and group quests carry a badge so you can decide.

When should you hearth or sell in Badlands (Alliance)?

The Badlands (Alliance) route has no hearthstone or vendor stop marked yet. Sell when you pass a vendor at a quest hub, and keep your hearthstone for the moment your bags are full and the next quests start in town: early on, quest items and loot fill bags fast. The route will mark these stops as soon as the data has them.

Which quests are in Badlands (Alliance)?

We know 40 quests in Badlands (Alliance) for WoW Forever, listed by level with the NPC who gives them and where. Quests from the Classic database stay to confirm in Forever until players see them, and badges mark escorts, elites, group, class and profession quests: the ones a route usually leaves out or keeps for later.

How reliable is the Badlands (Alliance) route?

All 40 quests on this page come from the Classic quest database (cMaNGOS classic-db), not from WoW Forever: Blizzard changed the starting zones, moved some quests and added new ones that are not here yet, so check a quest giver before a long run. Places come from Classic; the maps come from game build 1.60.1.70532.

Still missing

Classic base (cMaNGOS classic-db), to be confirmed in game: 40 quests. Missing: Forever's new or changed quests (the beta's game files hold no quest titles or objectives), French quest and creature names, Forever's own XP values; places are spawn points of Classic.
