Dwarf Paladin: your first 10 levels
Updated · ForeverDB
A gentle start for a Dwarf Paladin in WoW Forever: where your trainer stands in Coldridge Valley, your spells up to level 10, your class quests, the racials that help and the best professions.
Written for the WoW Forever beta, for your first 10 levels. Where each person stands comes from what players recorded in WoW Forever wherever we have it. Anything else is marked: "Classic data" means the spot comes from the original game and may have moved in Forever.
Right now
Welcome! You're a Dwarf Paladin, and you start in Coldridge Valley. Here are the three things you need first. Take your time: nothing here is in a rush.
- You appear at 29.9, 72.0 in Coldridge Valley.
- Your first quest: talk to Sten Stoutarm (29.9, 71.3), 20 yards north of where you appear.
- Your Paladin trainer is Bromos Grummner at 28.8, 68.3, 130 yards north-west of where you appear (Classic data, may differ in Forever). Walk: 225 yards, 30 sec.
- Your class quest: Sten Stoutarm also has Consecrated Rune for you. It sends you to your trainer, and it's free experience.
Tip: If you die, that's fine: everyone does. Click Release Spirit, run back to your body as a ghost, and carry on. Fight one enemy at a time and eat or drink between fights.
Playing a Paladin at first
You're a holy knight: you fight up close in heavy armor and can heal yourself and others. You use mana.
- Turn on Seal of Righteousness before a fight. It adds Holy damage to your melee hits.
- Keep Devotion Aura on. It gives you more armor.
- Heal yourself with Holy Light when your health gets low.
Tip: From level 4, Judgement lets you unleash your seal on the enemy for extra damage.
Tip: You heal yourself, so you rest less than most classes. Drink water when your mana runs low.
Your spells up to level 10
You start with your level 1 spells. The rest you learn from your trainer, for a few coins, at levels 4, 6, 8, 10. A few come from class quests instead. From the WoW Forever game client:

Where your Paladin trainers are
| Where | Trainer | Spot (click for the map) | Walk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coldridge Valley | Bromos Grummner (Classic data, may differ in Forever) | 28.8, 68.3 | 225 yards, 30 sec |
| Kharanos | Azar Stronghammer (Classic data, may differ in Forever) | 47.6, 52.1 | 75 yards, 10 sec |
| Ironforge | Brandur Ironhammer (Classic data, may differ in Forever) | 23.1, 6.1 | 1385 yards, about 3 min |
Walks start from where you appear (the first trainer), the middle of the town (town trainers) or the first town (city trainers).
Class quests
| Level | Quest | Starts with |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Consecrated Rune | Sten Stoutarm (29.9, 71.2) (Classic data) |
| 1 | A Gently Shaken Gift | Gently Shaken Gift (33.5, 65.6) (Classic data) |
Your racials as a Paladin
- Big Game Hunter: More damage to beasts. You fight a lot of wolves, boars and spiders while leveling.
- Stoneform: Clears bleeds, poisons and diseases and makes you tougher for a few seconds. Great for anyone who fights up close.
Professions
For a Paladin, the best pair is Blacksmithing and Mining. Blacksmithing makes mail armor and weapons you can wear, and Mining digs up the ore for it. Spare ore sells well too.
Tip: Not sure yet? Pick two gathering professions (Herbalism, Mining or Skinning). They make money from the very first herb, vein or beast, and you can swap one for a crafting profession later. Dropping a profession loses its skill, so decide before you've raised it far.

After level 10
At level 10 you get your first talent point. Our Paladin leveling guide takes you on from there, and the leveling guide shows where to go next. Your first dungeon comes a bit later: see your first dungeon.
