How to Plan a Quest Hand-In Loop in WoW: Forever

In World of Warcraft: Forever, make a turn-in route by grouping completed quests according to where they end. Check the Quest Log before leaving the last objective, then choose the order that puts you closest to your next activity. Use your Hearthstone only if its destination fits that order and the cooldown is ready.

Separate completed quests by destination

1. Open the Quest Log and identify the quests whose objectives are complete.
2. Read the turn-in instructions on each one. Group the quests that go to the same town or nearby quest givers.
3. Open the world map and compare the groups of destinations. Check which have an accessible flight point or a straightforward ground route.
4. Choose a final stop based on where you want to start next. Work backward from that stop to choose the earlier turn-ins.

A quest can send you to someone other than the person who offered it. Read the entry instead of assuming everything from one hub comes back there. If a name or location is unclear, inspect the map or written directions before walking to the old quest giver.

Check for an unfinished objective that is still near you. If it belongs to a group of completed quests going to the same place, finishing it now can save a second trip. If it is a long detour or requires a group you don't have, keep it active and make the turn-ins you can complete now.

Use one travel shortcut at the point it saves the most time

Check the destination and cooldown on your Hearthstone. If it returns you to the last hub you want to visit, save it for the end of the loop. If it returns you to the first hub and you'll head onward from there, use it early. Decide from the destination rather than using it automatically as soon as the last enemy dies.

Use learned flight points when they cover a long leg of the route. Check the destination and the remaining ground distance before buying a ride. It can be quicker to walk between two nearby stops than to double back to a flight master for each one.

For example, if you have two turn-ins in the next settlement and three back at your home inn, walk to the nearby settlement first. Then hearth home if the cooldown is ready. If the nearby turn-ins start a chain that sends you farther away, read those quests before deciding whether to continue or return. Your original route is a plan you can adjust after seeing the new instructions.

Check follow-up quests before leaving each stop

After turning in the completed quests, read any new follow-ups. Decide whether they fit the next leg or should wait. If a new quest sends you through a location already on your route, take it before leaving. If it pulls you in the opposite direction, keep the current plan unless the follow-up is more important.

Use the bag and reward check at each stop. Confirm that the hand-in completed and that you have room for any item you want to accept. If you are sorting gear, keep required quest items until you know you no longer need them. That avoids an inventory detour halfway through the route.

In a group, compare which players are ready to turn in each quest. A player who still needs one item may want to finish it before everyone travels. Agree whether to help or split up before using a flight or Hearthstone. Individual quest progress can differ even when the group fought the same enemies.

Fix a route when the turn-in isn't available

If the quest giver won't complete the quest, reopen the log and check every objective. Verify the correct NPC and stage of the chain. If the requirement is an item, check that it's in the inventory of the character turning it in. Don't continue to the next town until you know whether the current stop still matters.

If a flight is unavailable or your Hearthstone is on cooldown, revise the remaining order. Keep the stops that are on the same ground route and postpone a long return trip if it serves no immediate goal. Finish where you can pick up your next set of quests. That turns several hand-ins into the start of your next route.
