Less Important Horde Leveling Areas - Cataclysm

If you want to level up a new Horde character, the fastest way to do this is to work with an in-game Horde leveling guide. However, since most complete guides cover the quest paths of each area in the game, at some points you will be offered two or even three alternatives for you next questing destination. Some zones are ideal for questing, some are not. So, in this article I will point out some of the less important Horde leveling areas Cataclysm has changed, also explaining why it would be best not to quest there.

Stonetalon Mountains. This zone was heavily changed with the coming of Cataclysm. There are 5 flight masters here and quite many quest hubs, but the terrain is not very accessible. There are plenty of peaks, valleys and ravines, and many obstacles to go around to get to your quest objectives, and you will waste a lot of time moving from a point to another. Plus, since your character will be somewhere between level 25 and 30, you won't be able to use an epic ground mount, which will make your movement throughout the area even slower.

Searing Gorge - is one of the less important Horde leveling areas - Cataclysm because of the big pit in the middle, which makes travelling in this area quite a bit difficult. Plus, a big part of the quests here must be completed inside the tunnels which have entrances inside the pit, and you'll have to use the elevator quite a few times, clearing hostile NPCs every time. Both main camps in this area are neutral, which means Alliance players will also pick up their quests from there, and if they see you, chances are they're going to wait for you outside and kick your butt.
