What is the quest route through Swamp of Sorrows (Alliance)?

The Swamp of Sorrows (Alliance) route is partial: the Classic data leaves only 3 quests to turn in for the Alliance here, so it does not fill the zone's levels. Follow its 22 steps for what it gives, then level in the next zones below. Quests players record in WoW Forever will complete it, zone by zone, as soon as they share them.

How reliable is the Swamp of Sorrows (Alliance) route?

All 20 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: 20 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.
