Troll Shaman: your first 10 levels
Updated · ForeverDB
A gentle start for a Troll Shaman in WoW Forever: where your trainer stands in Valley of Trials, 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 Troll Shaman, and you start in Valley of Trials. Here are the three things you need first. Take your time: nothing here is in a rush.
- You appear at 43.3, 68.8 in Valley of Trials.
- Your first quest: talk to Kaltunk (43.3, 68.6), next to where you appear.
- Your Shaman trainer is Shikrik at 42.5, 69.0, 40 yards west of where you appear (seen once in Forever, not confirmed). Walk: 40 yards, 5 sec.
- Your class quest: Gornek also has Rune-Inscribed Tablet 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 Shaman at first
You call on the elements. You fight up close or cast lightning, you can heal, and later you place totems that help you. You use mana.
- Start a fight with Lightning Bolt from a distance.
- Then hit up close with Rockbiter Weapon on your weapon.
- Heal yourself with Healing Wave when your health gets low.
Tip: From level 4, Earth Shock is a quick hit that also stops an enemy's spell.
Tip: Your first totem comes from a class quest. Do it when it's offered: totems help a lot.
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:

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 | Rune-Inscribed Tablet | Gornek (42.1, 68.3) |

| 10 | Call of Fire | Swart (54.4, 42.6) |
Your racials as a Shaman
- Beast Slaying: More damage to beasts. You fight a lot of beasts while leveling.
- Berserking: Faster attacks and spells while it's on. Turn it on for a hard fight.
- Rapid Regeneration: Stand still and get half your health back in a few seconds. Less time spent eating.
- Regeneration: Your health comes back faster, even a little during a fight.
Professions
For a Shaman, the best pair is Leatherworking and Skinning. Leatherworking makes leather armor you can wear, and Skinning takes leather from the beasts you kill anyway.
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 Shaman 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.
