What is the quest route through Darkshore?

In Darkshore, the Full clear route takes 179 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 190 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.

How reliable is the Darkshore route?

All 72 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: 72 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.
