Quick Overview

FactionAlliance
AreaWestfall
Recommended level11-15
Best forAll Alliance races after their starting zone
Main routeJansen Stead, Saldean’s Farm, Sentinel Hill, northern Defias camps, Moonbrook, the coast and the Darkshore handoff
Watch forHuman characters skip several Alba Fairmoon quests offered to other Alliance races, the Defias mine objectives overlap, and Deadmines should wait until the full dungeon quest set is ready.

Before You Start

Prepare the character and quest log before beginning the route.

  • Every Alliance race joins this route after its starting zone. Arrive around level 11-14 and take the referral appropriate to your race.
  • Humans follow Report to Gryan Stoutmantle. Dwarf, Gnome, Night Elf and Skyborne characters receive additional Alba Fairmoon quests such as Testing the Wells and Moonbrook Espionage.
  • Set your hearthstone at Sentinel Hill and get the flight path immediately. Westfall repeatedly sends you between the farms, hill and Moonbrook.
  • Do not enter Deadmines merely because you reach Moonbrook. Collect every available dungeon quest first and run the instance at the appropriate level.

Westfall Route at a Glance

Follow the phases in order to minimize long return trips.

Phase 1 of 6Quest Stage

Jansen Stead and Saldean’s Farm

Collect the farming quests and begin gathering ingredients on every road segment.

  1. At the burned farm, take Westfall Stew, Poor Old Blanchy and The Forgotten Heirloom. Collect oats from sacks as you travel.
  2. Continue to Saldean’s Farm for Goretusk Liver Pie, The Killing Fields, the second stew step and Harvesting the Harvesters.
  3. Clear harvest watchers, mechanical harvesters, goretusks and fleshrippers while moving toward Sentinel Hill. Keep every stew ingredient until both cooking quests are complete.
  4. Recover the heirloom from the ruined farmhouse only after clearing the Defias outside, then return it on the next northern loop rather than immediately.

Common mistake: Westfall Stew and Goretusk Liver Pie use drops gathered across the whole zone. Deleting or selling them causes unnecessary farming later.

Key quests or objectives: Westfall Stew, Poor Old Blanchy, The Forgotten Heirloom, Goretusk Liver Pie, The Killing Fields and Harvesting the Harvesters.

Phase 2 of 6Quest Stage

Sentinel Hill and the People’s Militia

Set the hub, collect every local quest and begin the Defias campaign.

  1. Get the Sentinel Hill flight path, set your hearthstone and turn in your racial referral.
  2. Take The People’s Militia, Patrolling Westfall, Red Leather Bandanas and every race-appropriate Alba Fairmoon quest.
  3. Work north through the first Defias camps, killing smugglers and trappers while gathering bandanas and any well-testing or murloc components.
  4. Return to Sentinel Hill only when the entire first militia batch is complete and accept the follow-up against stronger Defias enemies.

Common mistake: Do not copy another race’s quest list exactly. Humans are not offered several Alba Fairmoon objectives that other Alliance races receive in Forever.

Key quests or objectives: The People’s Militia, Patrolling Westfall, Red Leather Bandanas, Testing the Wells and Murloc Gills.

Phase 3 of 6Quest Stage

Jangolode Mine and the Northern Defias Camps

Combine mine exploration, militia kills and the Forever investigation.

  1. Enter Jangolode Mine for the Defias investigation and clear the miners and overseers required by the militia follow-up.
  2. For non-Human Alliance characters, complete The State of the Mines and gather any evidence requested by Alba Fairmoon.
  3. Sweep east and south through the camps for remaining Defias kills, mechanical parts and the named targets tied to the patrol.
  4. Return to Sentinel Hill for the next Defias Brotherhood step and the Moonbrook investigation.

Common mistake: The exploration objective may require reaching the inner mine chambers. Killing the correct enemies outside does not always complete The State of the Mines.

Key quests or objectives: The People’s Militia follow-ups, The Defias Brotherhood, The State of the Mines and Patrolling Westfall.

Phase 4 of 6Quest Stage

Moonbrook Espionage and the Deadmines Entrance

Investigate Moonbrook without starting the dungeon too early.

  1. Approach Moonbrook from the north and clear the outer Defias patrols before entering the buildings.
  2. Non-Human characters complete Moonbrook Espionage, Explosive Consultation and the connected demolition steps when offered.
  3. Follow the Defias Brotherhood chain through its Moonbrook contacts and collect the entrance information for Deadmines.
  4. Mark the Deadmines entrance but leave the instance for the dedicated dungeon run after every prerequisite and city follow-up is ready.

Common mistake: The tunnel beneath Moonbrook leads toward Deadmines, but entering with only one quest wastes a run. Finish the Westfall and Stormwind prerequisites first.

Key quests or objectives: Moonbrook Espionage, Explosive Consultation, The Defias Brotherhood and the Deadmines lead-in.

Phase 5 of 6Quest Stage

The Coast, Captain Sander’s Treasure and Riverpaw Cleanup

Finish the optional but efficient coastal route before leaving the zone.

  1. Move west to the coast for murloc objectives and the lighthouse quests available at your level.
  2. If Captain Sander’s map drops, follow the treasure chain along the coast while completing the same murloc and wildlife loop.
  3. Clear any remaining Riverpaw or Defias objectives in the Dagger Hills on the return toward Sentinel Hill.
  4. Hearth to Sentinel Hill after the coastal batch and turn in everything before choosing the next zone.

Common mistake: Captain Sander’s chain is optional and drop-dependent. Do not grind indefinitely for the map; complete it only when it appears naturally.

Key quests or objectives: Captain Sander’s Hidden Treasure, coastal murloc quests and the final Riverpaw cleanup.

Phase 6 of 6Quest Stage

Stormwind Turn-ins and the Darkshore Handoff

Close the city steps and continue the Alliance leveling road.

  1. Use the Sentinel Hill flight to Stormwind for any Defias, class or city turn-ins that are ready.
  2. Train, repair and clear bag space. Keep the Deadmines chain if its later steps are not yet complete.
  3. Travel to Auberdine and begin the full Darkshore route around level 15.
  4. Return to Westfall later for Deadmines when your group has the complete dungeon quest set.

Common mistake: The common leveling route leaves Westfall before every higher-level Defias step is finished. Keep those quests for the Deadmines return instead of overleveling in Moonbrook.

Key quests or objectives: Stormwind Defias turn-ins, the Darkshore travel route and the future Deadmines quest set.

Westfall Quest Guide FAQ

What level is Westfall in WoW Forever?

The efficient Alliance leveling route enters around level 11 and leaves around level 15, although the broader zone and Deadmines chains continue toward level 20.

Can every Alliance race quest in Westfall?

Yes. Westfall is where the Alliance routes merge, but Humans skip several Alba Fairmoon quests offered to Dwarves, Gnomes, Night Elves and Skyborne.

Why can’t my Human accept Testing the Wells?

In Forever, that chain is for non-Human Alliance races. Human characters should continue with the People’s Militia and Defias Brotherhood routes.

Should I run Deadmines as soon as I reach Moonbrook?

No. Collect the full dungeon quest set and reach the appropriate level before entering so one run completes as many objectives as possible.

Is Captain Sander’s Hidden Treasure required?

No. It begins from a random map drop and is an efficient optional chain only when the item appears during the coastal route.

Where should I go after Westfall?

The shared Alliance route continues in Darkshore around level 15. Keep unfinished Deadmines quests for a later grouped return.
