New zones, band not yet known

Level lane 40-50

Confirmed for launch, but not yet placed on the level curve

ZoneContinentFactionLevel
Shen'dralasNew Kalimdor Both 42-45 New contested zone south-east of Desolace, between Feralas and Mulgore, reached on foot through the Valley of Bones. Highborne ruins, the Magram centaur and the Bristleback quilboar. No official level band yet: this one is estimated from its creatures (42-43) and quest givers (45) on warcraft.wiki.gg. Its quests lead to Razorfen Downs and Maraudon

Zone names open the zone on Wowhead. Classic level bands, not yet confirmed for Forever.

Plan a route

Level together

Add yourself and any friends by race and it suggests a route: each of you starts in your own zone, and from the first zone your factions can share, one order for everyone. Class is kept but does not change the route yet, only race (for the starting zone) and faction (for which zones after it are open to you) do. Mixed factions cannot quest together in Forever, so a mixed party gets one route per faction instead.

A friend

Level flow

Pick the zones in the order you plan to level through them, then save the route. Ordered by level band and, once a party above suggests one, by faction; it does not know quest density or travel time between continents. It stays in this browser, and follows your account to your other devices when you are signed in.

    Saved routes
    Where the level bands come from, and how routes are picked

    Level bands for existing Classic zones are Wowhead's advised levels for original Classic, not confirmed for Forever; a zone whose quest density changed could shift. The five zones confirmed for launch (Mount Hyjal, Riverglades, Shen'dralas, Zephras Isle, and Dalaran inside Alterac Mountains) are marked New. Their bands come from Wowhead's Forever data, read from the game client before launch (checked 2 October): Zephras Isle 1 to 12, Riverglades 36 to 44, Mount Hyjal level 60. Shen'dralas has no official band yet; 42 to 45 is estimated from the levels of its creatures and quest givers on warcraft.wiki.gg (checked 9 November). Zephras Isle is the Skyborne starting zone for both factions, so it is listed once per side: the High Order Skyborne join the Alliance and leave by skyboat to Dalaran, the Windshapers join the Horde and leave by skyboat to Thunder Bluff.
