Teldrassil Leveling Guide (WoW: Forever): Shadowglen to Darkshore, Quest Order 1–12

Teldrassil is where Night Elves begin in World of Warcraft: Forever, and the World Tree now carries you further than before: the zone runs from level 1 to 12 instead of 1 to 10. Forever has added new quests in Shadowglen, a camping introduction in Dolanaar, a harpy storyline in the Oracle Glade, a rescue inside the Ban'ethil Barrow Den and a new elite satyr. Here's an efficient route through all of it.

This guide is for Alliance Night Elves starting in Shadowglen. It's checked against World of Warcraft: Forever as live on November 11, 2026.

Quick overview

Flight path: the only one is Vesprystus in Rut'theran Village at the foot of the tree (/way 58.4 94.0 VesprystusCopy) – Darnassus itself has none, so take the portal down. Next zone: Darkshore at 11–12.

Shadowglen (1–5)

1. Conservator Ilthalaine (/way 58.7 44.3Copy) starts you off with The Balance of Nature, followed by your class quest.
2. Nature's Call (new, level 3). Tarindrella asks for 4 Gnarlpine Totems from the abandoned furbolg camps on the western edge of the glen. Quick and worth it: 250 XP and 100 Darnassus reputation.
3. The Woodland Protector, A Good Friend and A Friend in Need – then Iverron's Antidote, which is timed. Gather the Hyacinth Mushrooms, Moonpetal Lilies and Webwood Ichor first, then pick it up.
4. Shadowthread Cave: Webwood Venom and Webwood Egg, plus the new Fang of Githyiss – kill Githyiss the Vile deep in the cave and bring the fang to Gilshalan.
5. Priests get the new The Goddess Provides from Shanda.
6. The Adventurer (new). A Lost Journal lies at the top of Aldrassil next to Tenaron Stormgrip (/way 59.1 39.5Copy). It's addressed to Lyreena Duskblade in Dolanaar – take it with you.
7. Finish with Tenaron's Summons → Crown of the Earth at the Shadowglen moonwell and Dolanaar Delivery.

Dolanaar and the east (5–9)

Set your hearthstone at the inn and take everything.

1. Camping: hand the journal to Lyreena Duskblade (/way 57.6 56.6Copy). The Great Outdoors has you rest at her campfire until you get the camp buff, then Camping 101: Cooking sends you to Zarrin to learn Cooking.
2. The Sisterhood of Elune (new). Laurna Morninglight (/way 55.6 56.8Copy) sends you to Sister Aquinne in Darnassus – bring it along on your first trip into the city.
3. Soft Saber Pelts (Aldia) and The Lost Runner (Sentinel Kyra Starsong). The pelts drop slowly, so treat that quest as optional.
4. Classic chains: Zenn's Bidding from Zenn Foulhoof east of town, Denalan's Earth → Timberling Seeds and Sprouts at Lake Al'Ameth (/way 60.9 68.5 DenalanCopy), Emerald Dreamcatcher → Ferocitas at Starbreeze Village, and Twisted Hatred – Lord Melenas at Fel Rock.
5. The Great Tree Provides (new) from Byancie needs a Dewy Lasher Frond from the lashers. The November 6 hotfix fixed Lasher Sproutlings, Blooming Lashers and Wrathvine being immune to nature damage – good news for Druids.

Ban'ethil Barrow Den (7–10)

The classic The Sleeping Druid, Druid of the Claw and Relics of Wakening all take you into the barrow den west of Dolanaar. Forever adds Escaping Ban'ethil: free Sentinel Lynessa Duskblossom inside the den (/way 44.7 58.9Copy) and report to Kyra Starsong in Dolanaar. Free her first – the quest is easy to forget once you're busy with the relics.

Oracle Glade (8–12)

The north-west of the island has the most new content.

1. Not Dead Yet (new). Hand in The Lost Runner to Sentinel Eralya Leafshadow (/way 37.5 36.8Copy), who gives you this follow-up for Byancie in Dolanaar.
2. The Enchanted Glade (Bloodfeather Belts from the harpies).
3. Darkness in the Glade (new) from Sentinel Arynia Cloudsbreak (/way 38.3 34.4Copy): kill the three harpy leaders – Hatescreech, Windmistress Gaedress and Witchmother Arysa – for an amulet each.
4. The Oracle Tree (new) ends at the Oracle Tree itself, next to the sentinels.

Twisted Hatred, part 2 (level 10, elite)

After the first Twisted Hatred, Tallonkai Swiftroot has a new follow-up: collect 8 Befouled Webwoods and Mature Fel Moss from Xethorr the Wicked, a level 12 elite satyr in a small cave north of Fel Rock. Bring a group or come back at 12.

The southern loop and Darnassus (10–12)

1. Gnarlpine Hold and the Pools of Arlithrien quests, ending with Ursal the Mauler (level 12) – clear the furbolgs around him before the pull.
2. Darnassus: turn in The Sisterhood of Elune to Sister Aquinne and finish your Darnassus turn-ins. Druids start the level 10 Bear Form quests here – see our Bear Form guide.
3. Rut'theran Village: Nessa Shadowsong gives The Bounty of Teldrassil, which sends you to Vesprystus – and on to Flight to Auberdine.

Elites and quests to skip

• Xethorr the Wicked (level 12 elite) – group or skip.
• Oakenscowl, a level 9 elite south-west of Lake Al'Ameth – avoid until 11–12.
• Sethir the Ancient is a Rogue quest target – Pick Pocket him rather than fight.
• Soft Saber Pelts if the drops are slow.
• Don't farm Blackmoss the Fetid for its optional quest item.
