Northshire Valley: your first 10 levels

Updated 2026-10-28 · ForeverDB

Where everything is in Northshire Valley and Goldshire for a new Human: your first quest, every class trainer, food, repairs and the inn, with map pins and walking routes, and the quests in order up to level 10.

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

You start in Northshire Valley, a quiet green valley with a big stone abbey in the middle. It's one of the safest places in the game, and everything you need for your first few levels is within a short walk.

1. You appear at 48.1, 43.7 in Northshire Valley. The abbey is the large grey building with a tall tower. Most trainers are inside it or around it.
2. Your first quest: talk to Deputy Willem (48.2, 43.0), 15 yards north of where you appear. Look for the yellow ! over their head and right-click them.
3. Your class trainer teaches you new spells. You learn something new at level 4 and then every two levels. Yours is in the table below.

Tip: If you die, don't worry: it happens to everyone. Click Release Spirit, run back to your body as a ghost, and you're back where you fell. The spirit healer for this area is at 49.7, 42.5.

Levels 1 to 5: your first quests

Tip: Sell your grey items to any vendor. They're junk and only there to be sold for coins, and you'll need money for training.

Goldshire (levels 5 to 10)

When the valley's quests are done, the road south takes you out through the valley gate to Goldshire, a small town with an inn. Stay on the road and you'll be fine. From where you started it's about 1010 yards on foot (about 2 min). See the walk on the map.

Tip: Talk to the innkeeper, Innkeeper Farley, and make this inn your home. Your Hearthstone (the stone in your bags) then brings you back here, and logging out at an inn builds rested experience: you level faster for a while next time you play.

Walk: on foot at normal running speed from the middle of Goldshire, along the walking routes of our Companion addon. Click a walk to see the route on the map.

Class quests up to level 10

Some quests are only for your class. They often teach you something important, like a Hunter's pet or a Warlock's demon, so don't skip them. Your race and class guide lists just yours.

Your capital: Stormwind City

You don't need the city before level 10, but it's good to know. Stormwind City has a bank (extra storage), the Auction House (buy and sell with other players), and trainers for every class and profession.

Walk: on foot at normal running speed from the middle of Goldshire, along the walking routes of our Companion addon. Click a walk to see the route on the map.

Professions

A profession is a trade: you can gather herbs, ore or leather, or make things. The trainers nearby are in the tables above. Not sure which to pick? See the best professions for each class.

After level 10

Well done. From here, the leveling guide shows where to go next for your race.
