The Full clear route skips 14 quests in Desolace (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 Desolace (Alliance)?

The Desolace (Alliance) Full clear route marks each moment to use your hearthstone or stop at a vendor, listed below with its step number. In the first levels, quest items and loot fill your bags fast, so the route sends you to sell and repair between loops instead of walking back with full bags. The Chill route has its own stops in its tab.

  • Vendor (Step 76)

    Sell your loot to Christi Galvanis

Which quests are in Desolace (Alliance)?

We know 40 quests in Desolace (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 Desolace (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. Blizzard: Desolace centaur faction quests expanded; the Valley of Bones moved to Shen'dralas in the game tables.
