Shadowglen: your first 10 levels

Updated 2026-10-28 · ForeverDB

Where everything is in Shadowglen and Dolanaar for a new Night Elf: 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 Shadowglen, a peaceful glade at the foot of a giant tree on the island of Teldrassil. Night Elves begin here. It's calm and beautiful, and nothing here is in a hurry.

1. You appear at 58.6, 44.8 in Shadowglen. The giant tree is Aldrassil. Ramps wind up around its trunk, and most trainers stand on its levels.
2. Your first quest: talk to Melithar Staghelm (59.9, 42.5), 105 yards north-east 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 58.7, 42.3.

Levels 1 to 5: your first quests

Here are the quests in a good order. Take every quest from a person before you head out, then do them together. Each quest name opens its page, with where to go and what to do.

1. Level 1. Talk to Melithar Staghelm (59.9, 42.5) and take The Woodland Protector. You hand it in to Tarindrella. Walk: 245 yards. (Classic data: this quest giver hasn't been seen in Forever yet.)
2. Level 2 to 3. Talk to Conservator Ilthalaine (58.7, 44.3) and take The Balance of Nature, The Balance of Nature. Walk: 310 yards. (Classic data: this quest giver hasn't been seen in Forever yet.)

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.

Dolanaar (levels 5 to 10)

When you're ready, follow the path south out of the glade to Dolanaar, a small village with an inn and more trainers. From where you started it's about 880 yards on foot (about 2 min). See the walk on the map.

Tip: Talk to the innkeeper, Innkeeper Keldamyr, 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 Dolanaar, along the walking routes of our Companion addon. Click a walk to see the route on the map.

1. Level 5. Talk to Corithras Moonrage (56.1, 61.7) and take Crown of the Earth. Walk: 805 yards. (Classic data: this quest giver hasn't been seen in Forever yet.)

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: Darnassus

You don't need the city before level 10, but it's good to know. Darnassus 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 Dolanaar, 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.
