Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I've lvld dozens of aliance chars, and they all went through Westfall/Loch Modan, and later on to Redridge. Now I'm starting a night elf and instead of doing the run through Wetlands, I've been thinking about staying on Kalimdor.

I will go to Westfall in order to get the Deadmines questline done, but aside from that, I plan on lvling in Darkshore. I've never done it before, and it will also give me more rep with Darnassus. Can anyone here tell me whether Darkshore alone is enough to lvl normaly from 10 to at least 18?

Darkshore is honestly pretty good. It has a decent amount of quests, al though some are hard to find. It probably has more, and cooler quests than westfall and loch modan. It's just a lot of running because of the weird shape of the zone.

http://db.vanillagaming.org/?zone=148 for a nice overview of all the quests.

I generally recommend it to even human, dwarf, and gnome players. Darkshore is probably the easiest zone to level in since the level gap between quests aren't as big as Loch Modan and Westfall. I'd suggest after leveling to 18, you go to Westfall and Loch Modan and do the quests there anyway, then go to Redridge, and then come back to Darkshore.

You can do the other starting areas, too. More coin, and a little more exp to jump you ahead a little. I found Elwynn Forest to be the hardest (effing Murlocs), so do that one last if you wanna do the other starting areas.
