How to Start Leveling as a Gnome Priest in WoW: Forever

Start your Gnome Priest in Coldridge Valley and take Hallowed Memorandum to Branstock Khalder in Anvilmar. Continue training with Maxan Anvol in Kharanos when you move out of the valley. At level 10, visit High Priestess Mims in Ironforge for the Gnome Priest ability Confounding Flash.

1. Find Branstock in Anvilmar

1. Create a Gnome Priest in the Forever client. The race and class pairing is one of Forever's additions.
2. Take the starting quests in Coldridge Valley and look for Hallowed Memorandum from Sten Stoutarm.
3. Enter Anvilmar, the hall built into the hillside, and find Branstock Khalder. He's around 28.6, 66.5 on the Dun Morogh map.
4. Turn in the memorandum and check the Priest training window. Put your damage spell and heal on the bar before returning to the valley.

Use Smite as your initial ranged damage spell and keep Lesser Heal available. If you learn Power Word: Fortitude, check the buff before leaving town. On your first quests, start with one enemy at a time. Use the distance between you and the target to finish a cast, then check your health and mana before moving farther into a group of enemies. A Priest can heal after a pull, so you have room to learn how long a fight takes before trying two at once.

2. Keep up with training as you leave Coldridge

Visit Branstock again around level 4 for the next Lesser Heal rank. Then move on to Kharanos and check Maxan Anvol for later training. He is around 47.3, 52.2. You can check him as you reach the next spell milestones instead of returning to the first trainer each time.

These are useful stops, not a list of every spell. If you plan to heal in a group, keep the heal you actually want to use accessible and test it before the run. If you're solo, prioritize spells you use in most fights. Once you have a wand, use it to finish weak enemies when that saves mana and time compared with another full cast. Keep it easy to stop wanding when you need to control an enemy.

3. Heal Mountaineer Dolf for Garments of the Light

While you're training in Dun Morogh, look for In Favor of the Light, then Garments of the Light. The latter sends you to Mountaineer Dolf near Kharanos. Train Lesser Heal (Rank 2) before you leave. Target Dolf, cast that heal first, then use Power Word: Fortitude on him. Return to Maxan Anvol when the objective is complete.

If Dolf doesn't respond, check that you accepted the quest and used the required rank of Lesser Heal. Use the Dun Morogh version of the quest. A Human Priest walkthrough can show the same quest title but sends that character to a different target.

4. Learn Confounding Flash in Ironforge

At level 10, check Maxan Anvol for the Confounding Flash referral. It sends you to High Priestess Mims in Ironforge's Hall of Mysteries, around 24.8, 10 on the city map. If you are already in Ironforge, check with Mims directly. The Gnome leveling route lists a version of the quest she can offer without the Kharanos referral.

Finish the conversation and check your spellbook for Confounding Flash. It disorients nearby enemies briefly. Damage can break the effect, including damage from attacks already in progress. Stop wanding before you cast it and remember whether you left a damage effect on the target. Practice using the spell to create a little space, then move or heal while you have the opportunity.

5. Check the basics before leaving Dun Morogh

If you reached level 10 away from a trainer, make your next visit count. Check for the Gnome quest, train the rank of your heal that is available, and test that you can find both spells on the bar. If you intend to join a group, also check Resurrection before agreeing to heal. You can save yourself a trip back by looking at the trainer's list while you're already in Ironforge.
