Alliance Guides
Routes and loops written for Alliance characters.
These guides take an Alliance character from Northshire Abbey to the level cap. The Alliance leveling route 1–20 runs from Northshire and Goldshire to Westfall, with a Loch Modan detour by tram at 13 and a Deadmines run near 20. From there the shared bracket routes give the Alliance track: Redridge, Duskwood and the Wetlands in the twenties, then Arathi Highlands and Stranglethorn Vale in the thirties, and on through Tanaris, Feralas and the Hinterlands to Winterspring and the Plaguelands.
For coin on the way, three loops follow the same road: the Elwynn Forest gold farming route for levels 5–12, the Westfall Defias route for 12–20 and the Duskwood Raven Hill loop for 20–30, plus copper and starter herb routes for the first skill points. The Alliance dungeons, the Deadmines at 17–24, the Stockade at 23–29 and Gnomeregan at 29–38, each have a boss-by-boss guide, starting with the Deadmines dungeon guide.
In ForeverBot, the Leveling section with Pick guide by level and zone chooses the chapter for your level and zone, and the Farming section runs any of these loops once you walk it with Record loop and press Start. Horde routes are in the Horde hub.

Frequently asked questions
Where should an Alliance character level after Westfall?
Redridge for 20–24, Duskwood for 24–27 and the Wetlands for 27–30, with Shadowfang Keep or the Stockade as group runs along the way. At 30, cross the Thandol Span into Arathi Highlands for 30–35, then walk south from Duskwood into Stranglethorn Vale. The bracket routes give a grind spot in each zone for the last levels.
Can a dwarf or gnome follow the Alliance leveling route?
Yes, from stop 4. Dwarves and gnomes finish Dun Morogh around level 10 and can run the Loch Modan detour first, then take the tram to Stormwind and the road to Sentinel Hill. From there the route is the same as for a human.
How much gold can an Alliance character farm before level 20?
Not much, but enough for bags and skills. A level 9–12 clearing the whole Elwynn loop makes roughly 50 silver to 1 gold 20 silver an hour before the auction house, and a miner herbalist sees roughly 1.5–3 gold. In Westfall a level 17–20 makes roughly 2–3 gold an hour, more with Skinning on the boars.
