The Barrens questing guide

This is a questing guide detailing the best method to obtain and complete quests in The Barrens.

For a list of all The Barrens quests in table format (arranged by level), see The Barrens quests

Disclaimer: This guide is not meant for power-leveling purposes. Rather, it is meant to show a player the most efficient way to complete all quests available for a particular zone. If you know of a better order or method to accomplish this, your input is welcome (in fact, greatly desired). For major changes, feel free to edit, but make a note in the talk page as to your reasoning.

Many of the drop quests in the Barrens can be completed anywhere, so the progression is very non-linear.
