Into the Riverglades, on to level 45.

The Riverglades

From about level 38, both paid guides head into the Riverglades, WoW Forever’s new questing zone, and start with its lowest quests. Each faction works from its own hubs, with Powderfuse Port, Sunnyglade and the Bristle Hills on both routes, and comes back later for the higher quests.

• Alliance: from Booty Bay, fly to Lakeshire and ride in through the Redridge Pass to Southern Watch and Turner’s Logging Camp, then work from Farholde Keep, Wheeler’s Grange, Terral’s Watch and Sunnyglade. Later visits take you to Powderfuse Port and the Eastwind Shore, the Twilight’s Shroud and the Bristle Hills, and the Eastsea camps and Bolder’ok.
• Horde: from the Harborage in the Swamp of Sorrows, head north to Rog’mar and the southern plains, then Sunnyglade, Meadowsbrook and the Bristle Hills, Powderfuse Port and the murloc shore, and the Eastwind Shore and Bolder’ok. A later visit takes on the Eastsea pirates.
• Cautions name the elites and rares near your arrows, among them Krek the Noxious, Scoutmaster Vargas, Ghostmaw and Gul’gash, and several arrows move away from their spots.

A tentative release

Please treat 1.8.0 as tentative. The Riverglades is new to WoW Forever, and the quest data we build the route from is still being processed. Where we couldn’t yet place a quest’s giver or hand-in, the guide leaves it out for now, and some prerequisites are still to be confirmed.

We’re continuing to review the route for accuracy, and we’ll release fixes as the data fills in. If a quest is missing, isn’t offered or sends you the wrong way, type /wisp feedback, describe what happened and copy it into our feedback page, so we can check that part of the route.

From the Riverglades to Tanaris

Between Riverglades visits, the new 40–45 chapters go on through the classic zones:

• Alliance: the Badlands, the Swamp of Sorrows and Nethergarde, Stranglethorn Vale, Arathi and the Hinterlands with Faldir’s Cove and Aerie Peak, Feralas from Feathermoon Stronghold and, last, Tanaris.
• Horde: Desolace from Shadowprey, Dustwallow Marsh from Brackenwall Village, the Swamp of Sorrows, the Hinterlands and Arathi, the Badlands from Kargath, Stranglethorn Vale, Feralas from Camp Mojache and, last, Tanaris.
• Quests alone take you to about level 43. Optional group trips are the way to 45: Uldaman and Zul’Farrak for the Horde, and Uldaman, Zul’Farrak and the Scarlet Monastery Cathedral for the Alliance. With the 8 November hotfix’s extra dungeon kill XP, Uldaman and Zul’Farrak alone take you to about 44, and the guide’s last step shows any XP you still need.
• At level 40, an optional riding card names your race’s riding trainer and mount vendor and takes you there. Not now hides it until your next level.
• New steps teach each flight path as you first reach it, and the Horde now take the Grom’gol zeppelin from Stranglethorn.

35–40 at your level

The 35–40 chapters change too. The grind-to-level steps are gone, and quests that sat several levels above you now come later, where you’re at level. Level checks follow the XP from the guide’s own quests, so you meet far fewer of them.

If your guide is on a step that has moved later, it carries on from the step now at its old place instead of jumping ahead.

What’s changed since Wisp 1.1

Wisp 1.1.0 came out the day before launch with a redesigned questing panel. Since then we’ve shipped 18 releases:

• Longer, tidier routes

  The paid guides reached level 40 on 7 November, with class quests on the way and optional runs such as City of Dalaran and the Scarlet Monastery. A check of every pickup, hand-in and objective point moved the wrong ones, and a review of every step in all ten guides fixed directions, arrow points and a few step orders.

• Quest log review

  A Wisp button in the game’s quest log shows which quests your guide doesn’t need. Nothing is abandoned until you confirm twice, and only the quests you choose.

• Smoother travel

  Dungeon trips show a ribbon with the dungeon’s art and how far through the trip you are. On the way to a boat, the guide can suggest a known flight or your hearthstone. Flight path steps are no longer set aside before you’ve seen them, and the Alliance take the direct Stormwind–Auberdine boat.

• Your Wisp, your way

  A light Parchment theme, a settings cog in the panel header and your Wisp version in the footer. Gathering routes show on the minimap with smoother route lines, and Wisp works on non-English game clients, with the game’s own font on Korean and Chinese clients.

Smaller fixes along the way

You’ll also find:

• Launch-day fixes from three reviews of all ten levelling guides, talent trees for build 1.60.1.70755, and a dungeon suggestion when a level check finds you short of XP.
• Less work on hand-ins, kills and loot, and while you’re standing still.
• Tips for The Great Outdoors campfire and Counterattack!, and corrected objectives for quests such as Stolen Blasting Powder, Tumors and Making Our Move.
• The Horde 1–20 guides send you to the Dry Hills quests at about level 17, not 14, and take Prompt Potion Runner in Undercity.
• The free 1–20 guides’ level-20 notes say where each paid guide begins and name the real Continue button.
• Fix guide progress works better when you’re several levels ahead, and the travel planner remembers your mount’s speed.

Update before you play

Wisp and your paid guide update separately, so please update both before your next session.

• Manual download: close WoW, download the latest Wisp from our website and replace only the ForeverWisp folder in Interface/AddOns.
• Own a levelling guide? Download Alliance 20–45 or Horde 20–45 from My library, even if you update Wisp through CurseForge.
• Keep your WTF folder and SavedVariables. Your settings and progress carry over.
