Ashenvale is one of the first contested zones new players on PvP servers will come across(on kalimdor), levels of the mobs range from about 18 to 25.
The feel of the zone is all night elf environment, a lush forest and even a few moonwells scattered through the zone. Tailors can use moonwells to turn felcloth into mooncloth.

The land of nightelfs and WSG i love this place u getta turn into a furlbog here from a quest.

Comment by 9110

This place is good for leveling for low level Night Elf characters. It is also good as a central hub to many places of interest. such as Darkshore that allows access to Eastern Kingdoms, Warsong Gulch which allows you to fight Horde from the Barrens in your level, Felwood for when you are much higher level and Azshara which is also good for high level grinding and Azshara offers more quests than Felwood.

Comment by 9859

Good place to quest but be ready for some hardcore running, these quests have you all over the place, for horde and alliance. Great place for PvP too because it attracts lots of horde to the area.

Comment by Gymnos

You need to head here for the quest, Call of Water. The Ruins of Stardust are located just south of Astranaar.

Comment by 2733

Make sure you get the FP in Azshara...will save you a lot of running back and forth to Forest Song.

A few horde outposts along the way when you run, but easily avoidable.

Comment by 69592

Night elf lowbies usually level here, if not Wetlands, and a quest sends Horde lowbies to Ashenvale. Astranaar and Splintertree are subject to frequent raids.

Comment by 63832

to be fair this is more of an allience zone allthough its labeled as contested there are allience npcs dotted around everywhere where as almost all of the horde npcs are confined to theyre outposts allthough i must admit its anoying having to avoid horde npcs patroling the roads when im playing on my dreanie (why did blizzard make this name so hard 2 spell)
ps: dont comment on my spelling i wasnt even tryn

Comment by 82030

There is a mistake on map. Sentinel Melyria Frostshadow and Illiyana are in Forest of Song not at shrine !. Before changing u can check it (if u dont trust me ^^)

Comment by Kaiten

Coming in from Darkshore (or Bloodmyst), you'll gradually work your way East while making a few treks to Stonetalon Mountains soon after you hit Astranaar (in fact most of the Stonetalon alliance quests complement Astranaar's); and finally landing in Forest Song in your late 20s.

Mobs get progressively harder from West to East, until about Ravenwood Retreat (due to the Horde enterance being to the south) and are strongest at the borders of Azshara and Felwood.

It's worth noting that if you're Alliance and come here fresh from a level 10-20 zone, most of the chains will lead to an orange or red quest; keeping this in mind for optimal speed. You'll hit about 22-24 when you run out of yellow/green quests go elsewhere to level and later come back in your mid to upper twenties when you come back.

I strongly recommend going to the Eastern Kingdoms and complete as much of Redridge Mountains and Duskwood as possible, this will prevent the need to grind for hours in Ashenvale and will also round out your Stormwind reputation. There should be enough quests to make the red quests go yellow in Ashenvale and in Stonetalon Mountains.

Comment by 112072

Here is a map showing locations where alliance characters can sell their trash to vendors:
Alliance Vendors

A few other tips. To get to Stonetalon Mountains go through Talondeep Path. The tunnel itself is free of mobs, though there will be some spiders waiting for you at the other end.

The flight path to Azshara is easy to pick up from here. Just take the road east out of Ashenvale, it's just over the border and there are no hostile mobs to deal with.

The flight path to Emerald Sanctuary in Felwood is a little more difficult for lower levels. You will aggro some hostile beasts and even when you make it to Emerald Sanctuary, the NPC's there won't help you to kill them.

Comment by 127088

it will be better if here will be location where are briarthorns and not a men who droppes briarthorns.

Comment by 98899

"Ashenvale" Was a zone used in Warcraft III and there is a melee map with said name.

Comment by 135219

what is the name of the instance up in the right hand corner? never seen that before

Comment by 111827

You might want to bring a friend when you come here on a PvP server, you are bound to run into a Horde/Alliance ready for PvP because the Warsong Gulch Battlemasters are near by and there might be a twink.

Comment by 145137

Ashenvale is home to the instance named Blackfathom Deeps.

It's located north west on the Zoram'gar strand (the coast completely west of Ashenvale on your map), underneath a temple-like place. Just south of the strand is the horde outpost, and on the road east you will come to Astranaar. So horde and alliance have an easy way to get there.

A total of 6 bosses, 3 optional. Most drops require level 20-24. Id say the level requirement of the group should be about the same as Shadowfang Keep.

Fun instance; doable more than once for its ease and loots. If you haven't gone there yet, I recommend doing so.

Comment by 192727

I've been playing this game for about two years now and just found a buried green statue its head is about the size of a house and its wielding somthing but its buried up to the neck in the ground....i had to leave a post asking what this is. Coords are ~ (31, 60) i found it buy going from the flight path and heading south while omw to find the talondeep path.....what is this thing?
all i know is that its a Night Elf (female)

Comment by 133212

Since this has yet to be posted here, Talondeep Path in Ashenvale is at 43:71. In Stonetalon Mountains, the entrance is at 78:42

wheres The Howling Vale i cant discover it

Comment by Seif

I remember when I first started playing WoW with a few mate, all three of us were in our early 20 (levelling and irl).

Torek's assualt was an awesome quest and one of the most fun I've seen in WoW. Pity Classic didn't have more like this one.

Comment by 152099

Any idea where is Bough Shadow?

ran all around the map at least twice - and unlucky me, bumped into Lethon and got smacked

Comment by 67224

For Horde Only Loremaster of Kalimdor:
Make sure to kill 3 named mobs in this area that count towards the achievement. Each drops an item that starts a quest.
Sharptalon ~~> Sharptalon's Claw
Shadumbra ~~> Shadumbra's Head
Tideress ~~> Befouled Water Globe

Comment by 309204

I know this probably also happens in Astranaar, but seeing as I play mostly Horde, it's frustrating when Alliance camp Splintertree, killing every NPC and questgiver, wait for them to respawn, and do it again. And seeing as there's only one way in and out of the post, you may not be able to leave for awhile without being killed on a PvP server. Like I said, I know the same probably happens in Astranaar, but this area seems more aimed toward the Alliance, and higher-level Alliance at that. I hate seeing "Splintertree Post is under attack!". Over and over and over...

Comment by 390181

Its not bad place it's pretty nice looking but I think its just to big.

Comment by DeathBlood

Don't 'fall-far-in' the Falfarren River! hehehe

Comment by 263008

Ashenvale is a luch and vibrant area of forests, meadows and lakes. Today Demons, Elementals, Furbolgs and many more supernatural creatures rule this land. The Night Elves, inherently attuned to nature, have started to cleance this land, but it will take many years before it is safe for travelers to roam freely through this land.

Comment by Xelestial

Beautiful area. One of the most beautiful in the game besides Azshara. The only original home of the Night Elves that isn't in ruins.

Fully enjoy it pre-Cataclysm by taking up achievements like Loremaster of Kalimdor. https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/achievement=1678#comments and be sure to take some screenshots before the Horde tear it up to make their mud huts and whatever they use wood for.

Comment by 332754

I remember this was the zone with a lot of chain quest's rly fun to do :) atleast for alliance but i'm sure horde have them too :p

Comment by 400785

If you are questing here remember that your honor points and Warsong Gulch Marks can be turned in at the Alliance Warsong Gulch area. Great place to stop by on your way to Forest Song. https://www.wowhead.com/mop-classic/maps=331:620844

Comment by matoh

current Cataclysm map leak for this zone: here

seem like Garrosh screw Ashenvale ,, and this zone got a volcano?

Comment by 601538

Very beautiful zone, watch out for hordies, they love makin those damned mud huts!

Comment by 292457

Ashenvale is a very popular zone for both Alliance and Horde for a number of reasons.

The zone has a good level range for questing, making it suitable for players from as low as Lvl 18 (Lvl 19 for Horde) to as high as Lvl 30 (although some quests reach as high as Lvl 32). Most of the quests can be soloed easily and there are only two group quests, both on the Horde side (Vorsha the Lasher and King of the Foulweald). Notable Alliance quest chains include the "Elune's Tear" chain, available from Pelturas Whitemoon Pelturas Whitemoon, the "Raene's Cleansing" chain, available from Raene Wolfrunner (Raene Wolfrunner), and the "Tower of Althalaxx" chain that begins in Darkshore when given to the player by Sentinel Elissa Starbreeze (Sentinel Elissa Starbreeze).

Gathering professions such as skinning and herbalism (but not so much mining, although there are some veins to find) mix well with this zone. Many of the mobs here are skinnable (though perhaps not as many as in Darkshore, due to the large numbers of Furbolgs, Demons and Forsaken Undead) and herbs are almost as bountiful as the beasts. I've found that if you ever forget to do a bit of skinning and need to raise your skill afterwards, you can visit the Howling Vale (West of the road to Felwood and just before the border between the two zones) and grind Terrowulf Worgen mobs. They're Lvl 28-30 (with one rare mob named the Terrowulf Packlord (Terrowulf Packlord) who can reach up to Lvl 32 and drops the Wolfpack Medallion and Ruffled Chaplet green items) and are skinnable. The mobs (excluding the Packlord) respawn quickly and a player at a similar level can expect to clear the area just as they begin to respawn again. As a result, you get a constant supply of leather and a bit of added XP. I realise that grinding XP is never great compared to questing, but it's good to get a little bonus since you're going to have to collect leather anyway.

Finally, World PVP is an attraction for both factions. Horde players often raid Astranaar (some realms can expect several hour-long raids a day) due to its location between two Orcish towns. Through personal experience, I've discovered that this can range from Lvl 20-30 players that think that they can measure up to the guards to Lvl 80 players on sadistic rampages (just like Crossroads raids, amirite?). Alliance raids, to be honest, are less common but do occur occasionally on the large Horde town of Splintertree Post.

Tips on Exploring/Questing in Ashenvale:

If you're on a PvP realm or have your PvP turned on, watch out while you're in Astranaar or on the roads directly outside the town.
The Boss Level (Lvl ?) Dragons of Nightmare spawn at Bough Shadow, just to the East of the Alliance outpost of Forest Song. One of the four mobs will emerge from a portal on the side of the Great Tree, and elite mobs also patrol the surrounding area. Many players have been killed when trying to complete their zone maps, so beware when entering below Lvl 60.

Thanks for reading this guide to Ashenvale!

Comment by leettroll

and Soon astranar will become besieged by the horde and we will push up into darkshore, with the help of Zoram'gar Outpost (Its more like a Fortress now).

Comment by bluedusk

insert evil cackle here( ) god i hated ashenvale when i was starting out im glad the horde has torn it a new one and guttted the place. now it looks like one big ol warsong gultch for ppl to kill each other in and the new quest lines look fun for a hordi to do

Comment by Movanz

Garrosh: I want every damned stone,tree trunk and night elf toilet turned into a Horde quest hub!Clear out!

Meanwhile in the Barrens...
Footman:Sir! We found several footprints arround a ''beaten corpse''!We managed to track their owner down and found a dehidrated troll,upon our..interogation.. he started babbling foul talk about a ''man's kirk''.
Alliance Officer: Damn it! WHAT is the Horde up to now?

Comment by 353104

Why did Horde have to take Ashenvale? I don't necessarily want to give up S. Barrens, but couldn't they take one of my less favorite areas? Take Dustwallow!

Comment by Dimonslayer

You know I'm beginning to see a pattern here...First Azshara then Ashenvale...Horde/Blizzard must really hate Night Elves...

On a side note, why did they have to kill Cairne?

Comment by 650974

I guess Garrosh wants more orcs dead from questing night elf players...or maybe he makes chairs and tables as a hobby.

Save the trees of Ashenvale!

Comment by aweus

Enough is enough. Protecting Ashenvale is a sacred duty for every Night Elf. Any Horde questing character found in this zone will be exterminated on sigth. Join the resistance! Ashenvale shall be free again!

Comment by 664823

Hate this zone soo much :S

Comment by kazumi

When the cataclysm happens, some of the zone levels will change. For example, Azshara is changing to a level 10-20 zone for goblins.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gryphon##DELIM##

Comment by 523797

Concerning the Ashenvale Quest Achievement which requires 80 quests post-shattering:
it might be possible that there are not enough quests. I'm stuck at 72/80 and even after 2 hours of traveling through the zone I couldn't find any more quests.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

PS: The problem above occures for Horde player (can't say anything about Alliance quests)

Comment by 339092

confirmed

horde can only do 73 quests.

Either blizzard fixes the amount of quests required to 70 as alliance, or horde needs a new quest hub.

Comment by cattaclysmic

Just got this confirmed by a GM... Horde is lacking quests, and they will be implemented together with the Cataclysm Launch... i suspect something having to do with Twilight Highlands or the Twilight Cult but im not sure

Comment by galaxypa

Okay so i am like 4 quests away and i have been to every area, Is there a drop quest some where?

Also i have no recived any quests from the elementals since they wont give me any.

*I am alliance*

Comment by 714854

Many Horde quests in Ashenvale reward reputation with the Warsong Offensive when it shouldn't. The rep shouldn't even go to the Warsong Outriders because the Alliance version quests do not give rep with the Silverwing Sentinels. They need to either change the Warsong Offensive rep to Outrider and make the Alliance get Silverwing Sentinel rep or fix it so that the quests give the correct reputation to their respective race.

Comment by Myhv

Shattering happened, every freaken zone got dozen new flight points and alliance still has no FP close to Silverwing Sentinels' camp. And Horde got one right next to Warsong Offensive camp.

Post-Cata leveling guide for Ashenvale: Good zone to skip if you are Alliance, unless you are a masochist. You can do a couple quests to save Astranaar if you want, pretty much everything else is depressing as all get out. I would advise Dwarf areas instead as most of them aren't quite so depressing.

Take the Talondeep path, just south of the lake...

Comment by Thottbot

Forest Song is NE Ashenvale, keep following the road to NE when you can head south toward Barrens and its there on the left.

Dor'Danil Barrow Den is kinda SE but not too far, you should see 4 Forsaken guarding a little camp with bottles - from there you should see the barrow den. That place is quite hard to solo at the recommended level btw - i did it as a 29 rogue with a higher level priest as backup.

the portal guarded by the green dragon flight leads to an area called The Emerald Dream.

similar portals are in Duskwood, The Hinterlands, and Feralas. these portals wont open in the burning Crusade Expansion, but rather in the next expansion along with the Continent of Northrend. Thanks for the great questions!

I've got a question about the level in Ashenvale and Stonetalon Mountains. I'm currently in Darkshore, level 18 hunter, and fed up with this zone. I'd like to go to a new zone asap, but I don't know if the quests in Ashenvale are too hard for my character. Is it better to go to Stonetalon first?

Comment by Thottbot

For those of you looking for the Achievement, 'Bough Shadow' is in the Northeastern corner of Ashenvale. It's supposedly a portal to the Emerald Dream.

Comment by Thottbot

The howling vale's coordinates are 53,37. It's just to the west of the road right below felwood.

Comment by Thottbot

Where is the entrance to warsong gulchperson in ashenvale exactly

Comment by Thottbot

I've been in love with this place since my main character came here at lvl 18 in early 2005. To my sight there was a big battle at "the bridge to astranaar" lvl 18-60's fought an epic battle that I simply cant forget :p
I miss the old school world pvp stuff from back in the days..
I think this is one of the most beautiful places in kalimdor or any other region in the wow universe. Hope when the new expansion comes, they wont ruin my beloved enchanted forest to mutch, hope it wont be burned down to ashes, because my elven heart would be broken then :p Only negative thing I can see with this place is that its long stretched so you have to run alot, you get mounts at lvl 20 now so its not that big a deal anymore anyway though. Love the music in this place to :)

Comment by Thottbot

Actually, there is one more fishing location, that is not listed here. Hay, thottbot supporters! You should add to your base of knowledge, that it its possible to fis from Silverwing Outpost. There is a small place behind this location, near the Fallfarren river, and its fishable. Not much, a had only Bristle Whisker and Longjaw Mud Snapper, but...

Comment by Thottbot

I totally agree with Chancern, Ashenvale is lovely. As a Draenei, when I was done with Azuremyst and Bloodmyst I started to quest in Darkshore. It didn't feel right, I felt out of place and "lost". When I got to Ashen I felt right at home...it was weird. I don't know if it was the colors, the music or the great quest-line stories. The little Draenei camp up in Forest Song was also heart-warming and it's proximity to the Exodar also helped. The area is welcoming and challenging at the same time. I especially liked the sense of closure at the end of the quests, like you've done your duty to help the zone and can move on now, although it unfortunately doesn't tell you where to go next. I'm not sure what other areas are suitable for this level bracket but I highly recommend questing in Ashenvale. Lots of fond memories.

P.S Chancern...unfortunately I heard that in Cataclysm Auberdine will be destroyed by a tidal wave and Ashenvale's forest will be futher destroyed by the Warsong Lumber dudes. Sorry :(

Comment by Allakhazam

Blizzard still has BFD listed in Northern Darkshore. They haven't placed the acutal instance where it is in Ashenvale. I had played this game on some of my friends accounts a while ago, and I just recently finally got a copy of the game myself and was like, "Isn't BFD in Ashenvale". I hope they did a revamp for the Expansion pack. I don't have that yet some I'm not sure if they revamped the map.

It was still called Blackfathom Deeps in Archemonde. I am not sure what is meant by the reference to 'Northern Zoram Strand' but I found Blackfathom Deeps no prob....is N.Z.S. the instance that used to be there or what?
KELLEVAN'

Comment by Allakhazam

Blizzard originally ment to put BFD in Darkshore, but instead changed it to the Zoram Strand in Ashenvale. The old entrance can still be found in the northern ruins in Darkshore (I suggest going because there is a lvl 19 rare mob that appears and drops a rare ring) the instance is gone but the building is still there. If you look at the game manual (not the computer version) from the older copies of the game it still shows BFD in this area.

Comment by Allakhazam

There is also lots of Naga svimming around. Plus the orc base has a flight path.

Comment by Allakhazam

I think this is one of the most contested areas when it comes to PvP'ing for the first time (for those wise enough to not to flag themselves while in their home territory). The Horde has a small outpost located in the southern part & the Alliance has a quest in the northern part (along with the entrance to the Blackfathom Deeps instance). This means that there's usually a few level mid-20's people hanging around.

Comment by Allakhazam

I ran into a mid-20's gnome mage with my 25 Orc hunter/25 raptor. I was killing naga on my way to BFD, waved at the mage, and he fired on me. His mistake:) He sheeped me a couple of times and blinked around, but I nailed him. Is waving considered rude? Every time I do, I get attacked;)

Comment by Allakhazam

Is it even in Ashenvale? The map is pretty much useless without cosmos... and sure could use a map with the Lake. -Matt

Never mind I found it. It is to the Northwest of Astranaar, just west of the first set of mts you come across to the left of the road as you're heading north.

I found this place on February 15th 2005, its awesome, there are lvl 62 Elites in packs guarding the area along with a 62 Elite Dragon called Phantim, what they are guarding is amazing, its another Portal, you get past all them, then a little ways back is a stone ramp up, at the top is a massive Portal I believe like that of the Dark Portal. Guarding this portal is another dragon called Dreamwalker, I just wonder what Blizzard has in store for us with these portals ;P just figured I would share with everyone, later and you better go up there either in spirit form, or be a lvl 60 Rogue ;P
got some Screenshots too

Comment by Allakhazam

I was wondering what lvl they was up there :D.. Upload the screen you got somewhere

Comment by Allakhazam

There are 4 portals I know of: Duskwood, Hinterlands, Blasted lands and Ashenvale. Blasted lands host the Dark Portal, while all the other three should take you to the Emerald Dream. Where Ysera the green is.

"In that age, there were many dragonflights. Yet there were five flights that held dominion over their brethren. It was these five flights that the Titans chose to shepherd the budding world. The greatest members of the Pantheon imbued a portion of their power upon each of the flights' leaders. These majestic dragons (as listed below) became known as the Great Aspects, or the Dragon Aspects."

"Eonar also blessed Alexstrasza's younger sister, the lithe green dragon Ysera, with a portion of nature's influence. Ysera fell into an eternal trance, bound to the waking Dream of Creation. Known as the Dreamer, she would watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the Emerald Dream."

It's where druids Hibernate and dragons are plenty. :p

Comment by Allakhazam

There is another portal leading to the emerald dream in feralas. Its south of desolace, then east. Im guessing each portal is guarded by a patrolled emerald dragon and actually guarded by another. DONT ATTEMPT TO TAKE ALONE!

Comment by Allakhazam

I went there as my 30 druid and got stomped of course. But a sheer act of detrmination (and a facination with dragonkin) i died/respawned closer and closer to the area till i got next to Dreamwalker. I tried running beeline into the portal but nothing happened and i got brutally slaughtered (3927 dmg).

makes me think Blizzard may be thinking expansion pack. That would be sweet.

I went looking @ the dragon to tease him
Hes weak, I fired some pyroballs in his ass he couldnt hit me

Comment by Allakhazam

The only thing I've ever found here was the large monument to Grom as this is where Grom and Thrall fought Mannaroth in WC3.

Comment by Allakhazam

Has anyone found anything down here? Or perhaps quests that send players here? So far all we have found is Diathorus, a level 34 named demon who doesn't drop anything but copper.

At best it's a nice place to pick up some interesting rare-drops off the demons.

Comment by Allakhazam

I think the giant floating swords are those of Mannaroth who was killed by Grom Hellscream. They're really cool if you've managed to get to them. Just watch out for the pack of legion hounds and you'll be fine. Oh and if you're lvl 30+

The moonwell is near a Dryad, just northwest of Raynewood Retreat. You have to go around a little indention into the mountains though. Just keep moving north and west along the mountains until you reach a little path to the north, follow that path.

Is 60,72!

Comment by Allakhazam

LMAO amazes me how ppl can be so confusing in describing locations. Yes Moonwell is NE of Astraanaar, but isn't it just as easy to say its east of Iris lake?..namely looking at the map the bit of iris lake that has the island in the middle. Easiest way for me was to follow the road from Astranaar then just as u pass the southern tip of Iris lake, if you look to your left you will see a large open area ..go that way past all the bears until you see the lamps in the ground, follow the lamps and it takes you directly to the NPC at Moonwell

where is it?

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok I just read all the posts about where the wells are....so I ran around and took down the coordinates of my position while I was standing in the middle of the wells.

Raynewood, there is a well there, and yes there is a 40th lvl Dryad right in front of the well. 59,59
to get there run up the road that is east of Raynewood on the map, take your first right and basically make a uturn around the mountian you will then see a lit path with some lvl 20+ mobs.

Bloodtooth Camp, I did not see anything guarding this one. 60,72

Oh and if you are making mooncloth, don't be a dork like me and go all the way there to find out you have like 5 hours left until you can make more LMAO :)

Night Run is immidately east of Raynewood Retreat and directly west of Satyrnaar on a small mountainous peninsula that can only be reached from the north by the mountains on either side.

Comment by Allakhazam

Does anyone know what's up with the floating green shard in Night Run?

Comment by Allakhazam

The write-up on Night Run says it is West of Satyrnaar which leads me to believe that Satyrnaar is directly East of Night Run in the Northern Mid-Ashenvale area. Currently, there are no posts on the location of this area so I thought it a good idea to post this one.

Comment by Allakhazam

Follow road NE past Splintertree outpost, past warning markers(?), gateway on left. Watch for stealthed satyr in gate!

Comment by Allakhazam

Either Northeast of the Warsong Labor Camp or south and just a little east of Splintertree Post

Comment by Allakhazam

Going to the Veiled Sea from the south end of the Zoram Strand you can find quite a few secluded spots which are creature-free, allowing decent mid-level fishing without interruptions.

The Dragons of Nightmare and where to find them:
Ysondre
Taerar
Lethon
Emeriss

Ashenvale / Duskwood / Feralas / The Hinterlands
"All four Dragons of Nightmare spawn at the exact same time, but where each dragon spawns will be random among the locations listed. That being said, a particular dragon will never be guaranteed to be in the same location." - WOWHEAD

Comment by cicciograna

A couple of notes for newcomers.
While visually stunning and beautiful, Ashenvale is a nightmare to navigate. The place is huge, and to go from A to B you are pretty much forced to follow the road, because the landscape is dotted with impassable hills, trees, boulders or mountains: don't try to take shortcuts, you risk having to backtrack back to where you started and waste a lot of time.

The questline "Raene's Cleansing" for Alliance is long (9 steps!) and convoluted, and will require to run from one corner to the other of the zone: in light of what I just wrote, it will be annoying and time-consuming. Oftentimes you will have just vague hints on where you should go and what you should do to complete the quest objectives ("The final piece of the rod I have no idea where they hid it. All I can tell you is to follow the road that leads towards the Barrens. The druids were killed recently...").

In short, Ashenvale will have you swear.

This has to be one of the most deceptively terrible places to farm herbs. You'd think it would be like a Sholazar Basin or Swamp of Sorrows with all of its lush greenery. Sadly, this is not the case. Not a good place to navigate, mobs are packed in tight, and just not many active herb nodes it seems. Go someplace else, anyplace else to level in the 100 - 200 range; you will have better luck.

Comment by GibbleFenwick

I decided to do some questing in Ashenvale; which follows naturally from the revamped Azshara zone.
I mistakenly thought it would provide a lot of reputation with the useful Orgrimmar faction.
Unfortunately I didn't check here first, because it turns out only a few quest offer Orgrimmar rep.
It turns out most quests offer Warsong Offensive. Which doesn't make sense, as none of this content has much to do with the Northrend faction.
I can only assume, some disinterested dev got this faction mixed up with Warsong Outriders.
But even that is problematic, because many of the quests that award Warsong Offensive rep don't really have anything to do with the conflict with the Silverwing Sentinels either.
Just another example of blizzard's lack of basic attention to quality for OG Cata, and rushed development to reached an arbitrary marketing deadline.

Really disappointing. :(
