One inevitable problem when Phase 2 of Season of Discovery launches is actually being able to complete a quest. Just like the original launch of Season Discovery, the best thing to do will be to get ahead of the pack. The best way to do this is by preparing quests to turn in for when the phase drops. In this way, you can quickly obtain a large amount of SOD Gold while completing quests!

But bear in mind, this is for sweaty tryhards who enjoy speed running the game. There’s no need to rush in Season of Discovery since it’s so casual-friendly. So, don’t worry if you can’t get all of these quests done.

What To Do To Prepare A Quest List?

Let’s cover the important things of what to do when preparing a quest list.

I have for you an optimal route for both the Alliance and Horde. It’s a full quest list and a route. Make sure to watch until the end so you can get information about that. 

If you play Horde, you can get yourself 76,000 XP points, and if you play Alliance, you can get 98,000 XP points. So, you’ll definitely be able to get to level 27, going on level 28. And realistically, it should only take you about an hour to get all of these quests turned in.

What we want to do with making the quest list is first of all, pick the quests with the biggest XP rewards. Some give 3.3k XP like Elite quests, but then some quests only give 1.7k XP. And then some have a little follow-up that gives you even more XP.

We also want the route to be efficient because if quests are too far apart, then just grinding in dungeons is going to get you more XP per hour. We also want to pick up some extra quests that don’t need to be in your quest log. For instance, quests on pickup items or the ones that require non-quest items.

Bear in mind that many of these quests are actually higher level and may require a group because it will be quite hard to solo some of them. So, it depends on how sweaty that you want to go. If you don’t want to go as hardcore, that’s perfectly fine. Just pick quests earlier on in these quest chains or alternative quests in the hopes that I’m going to clarify.

Personally, I probably wouldn’t make the list exactly. You may have also turned in some of these quests, so you will have to pick alternatives, anyway. But the main thing to do is do quests in these hubs so that you can complete them in an efficient loop.

So, for Horde, start in Tarren Mill, hearthstone to Thunder Bluff, then fly to Stonetalon Mountains, Zoram Strand, Ashenvale, Freewind Post, Crossroads, and then Southern Barrens, and then maybe Freewind Post if you have some quest to do there. 

Then, for Alliance, start in Southshore, then go to Ironforge, Stormwind, and Darkshire, then Westfall, then hearthstone to Darnassus, and then go to Theramore Isle. Maybe the little town in Ashenvale again if you have some quest for it.

Remember your cloth turn-ins and your Warsong Gulch Marks of Honor if you haven’t done them because they will get you just under 10,000 XP in total. So, silk is unlocked at level 26 but get 240 wool and 240 silk.

There are also some items that you can prep for future quests at a higher level in the level 30s. For instance, all the quests in the Badlands that actually require non-quest items. 

And you can also get a quest at level 28 for the Alliance in Southshore to just get some Turtle Meat, which we can already get, and if you want to go ultra sweaty, you will need a group for this. You can prearm The Green Hills of Stranglethorn.

And guys, definitely remember to get the BFD buff for the movement speed before you attempt this because that is going to be an absolute godsend.
