Level a new Dwarf or Gnome through Dun Morogh with an efficient route from Coldridge Valley to Kharanos, the mountain settlements and the Old Ironforge Incursion setup.

Quick Overview

FactionAlliance
AreaDun Morogh
Recommended level1-12
Best forAlliance Dwarf and Gnome characters
Main routeColdridge Valley, Kharanos, Misty Pine Refuge, Steelgrill Depot, Brewnall Village, Gol’Bolar Quarry, Ironforge and Westfall handoff
Watch forDwarf and Gnome class steps differ, several named enemies are group-friendly, and the Dark Iron Map chain is the Hall of Thanes prerequisite.

Before You Start

Prepare the character and quest log before beginning the route.

  • Dwarves and Gnomes share the zone but receive different class and racial introductions. Follow only the class quests offered to your character.
  • Set your hearthstone in Kharanos or at Thunderbrew Distillery once the route reaches the central road. The later loops repeatedly return through this area.
  • Take the Camping introduction when it appears. Sitting at the campfire is required for The Great Outdoors; standing beside it does not complete the objective.
  • Keep a Dark Iron Map if it drops during the Steelgrill and Dark Iron quests. It starts the chain leading into Hall of Thanes.

Dun Morogh Route at a Glance

Follow the phases in order to minimize long return trips.

Phase 1 of 6Quest Stage

Coldridge Valley and Anvilmar

Complete the protected starting valley before taking Coldridge Pass.

  1. Collect Dwarven Outfitters, the appropriate class rune, A New Threat, The Boar Hunter and the mail-delivery chain around Anvilmar.
  2. Clear boars, wolves and troggs in a clockwise loop. Recover the stolen journal and the refugee belongings while moving toward the troll cave.
  3. Enter the Frostmane cave for The Troll Cave, then return through the valley for the mug and mornbrew deliveries.
  4. Finish Grund and Gozwin, turn in the class and local quests, train, and accept both parts of Senir’s Observations before leaving through the pass.

Common mistake: Do not leave through Coldridge Pass while the second mail delivery or Senir referral is missing. Both provide clean turn-ins on the Kharanos road.

Key quests or objectives: Dwarven Outfitters, The Troll Cave, The Stolen Journal, Grund and Gozwin and Senir’s Observations.

Phase 2 of 6Quest Stage

Kharanos, Camping and Frostmane Hold

Use Kharanos as the central hub for the mountain route.

  1. Turn in the Coldridge referrals, set your hearthstone and collect Secure the Mountain, Frostmane Hold, Beer Basted Boar Ribs and the available class training.
  2. For The Great Outdoors, use /sit beside the marked campfire until the rested effect appears, then complete Camping 101: Cooking.
  3. Clear the nearby trogg and Frostmane objectives in one western loop. Enter Frostmane Hold far enough to complete the exploration and named-enemy steps.
  4. Return to Kharanos for the full batch and take Dawn in the Mountains toward Misty Pine Refuge.

Common mistake: Frostmane Hold is a cave objective. Killing trolls outside will not complete the interior step, and crowded tunnels make uncontrolled pulls dangerous.

Key quests or objectives: Secure the Mountain, Frostmane Hold, The Great Outdoors, Camping 101: Cooking and Dawn in the Mountains.

Phase 3 of 6Quest Stage

Steelgrill Depot and the Old Ironforge Incursion Setup

Start the Dark Iron chain that unlocks the early Alliance dungeon guide.

  1. Deliver Tools for Steelgrill, then take Stocking Jetsteam, The Grizzled Den, Ammo for Rumbleshot and A Visitor to Dun Morogh.
  2. Clear wendigos in the Grizzled Den and collect the supply objectives before moving toward the Dark Iron camps.
  3. Follow Farsen’s Watch, Nip ‘Em in the Bud and Underground Map. Kill Dark Iron enemies until the required map or quest item drops.
  4. Accept or continue Old Ironforge Incursion. Keep it in your log for the separate Hall of Thanes dungeon route.

Common mistake: The Hall of Thanes main quest does not simply appear at the dungeon entrance. Begin with A Visitor to Dun Morogh and loot the Dark Iron Map during this chain.

Key quests or objectives: A Visitor to Dun Morogh, Farsen’s Watch, Underground Map and Old Ironforge Incursion.

Phase 4 of 6Quest Stage

Brewnall Village, Iceflow and Amberstill Ranch

Finish the western snowfield cluster without repeated mountain crossings.

  1. At Brewnall Village, collect Bitter Rivals, The Perfect Stout, A Favor for Evershine and the related brew deliveries.
  2. Work north and west through the Iceflow area for Frosthowl and the required ingredients. Clear the path around named creatures before engaging them.
  3. Stop at Amberstill Ranch for Protecting the Herd and the ranch errands. Vagash or other group targets are safer with another player.
  4. Return through Brewnall once, complete the Evershine follow-ups and carry the final stout delivery toward the eastern road.

Common mistake: The brew chain sends you back and forth if accepted piecemeal. Collect every Brewnall quest before leaving the village and return only after the northern loop.

Key quests or objectives: Bitter Rivals, The Perfect Stout, A Favor for Evershine, Frosthowl and Protecting the Herd.

Phase 5 of 6Quest Stage

Gol’Bolar Quarry and the North Gate

Clear the eastern troggs and finish the pilot chain.

  1. Take The Public Servant and Those Blasted Troggs! at Gol’Bolar Quarry, then clear the open quarry before entering the lower dig areas.
  2. Move north for The Lost Pilot, inspect the wreck and follow the chain to A Pilot’s Revenge.
  3. Complete the North Gate and South Gate deliveries on the same road loop rather than using Ironforge as an unnecessary midpoint.
  4. Return to Kharanos or the quarry for the last turn-ins and train before entering Ironforge.

Common mistake: The pilot quest advances from the wreck and then a nearby follow-up target. Do not return to town immediately after finding the first body or item.

Key quests or objectives: The Public Servant, Those Blasted Troggs!, The Lost Pilot and A Pilot’s Revenge.

Phase 6 of 6Quest Stage

Ironforge, Class Training and the Westfall Route

Organize the city visit and join the common Alliance road.

  1. Enter Ironforge, collect the flight path and complete any class or profession turn-ins already in your log.
  2. Use the Deeprun Tram to Stormwind when the Dun Morogh route is complete. Avoid collecting unrelated city quests that send you into higher-level zones.
  3. Travel through Elwynn Forest to the western bridge and enter Westfall around level 12.
  4. If you plan to run Hall of Thanes at levels 13-18, keep the Old Ironforge Incursion chain and return to the High Seat after gathering the full dungeon quest set.

Common mistake: Do not abandon Old Ironforge Incursion when leaving Dun Morogh. It is the important bridge between the outdoor route and Hall of Thanes.

Key quests or objectives: Ironforge training, the Deeprun Tram, Westfall handoff and the Hall of Thanes prerequisite.

Dun Morogh Quest Guide FAQ

What level should Dwarves and Gnomes leave Dun Morogh?

A complete route normally reaches level 12 before using the Deeprun Tram and joining the Alliance road in Westfall.

Are the Dwarf and Gnome routes identical?

They share most zone quests, but their class, racial and a few starting steps differ. Follow only the quests offered to your race and class.

How do I complete The Great Outdoors in Kharanos?

Sit beside the marked campfire until the rested objective updates. Type /sit if standing near the fire does nothing.

How do I unlock Old Ironforge Incursion?

Start A Visitor to Dun Morogh at Steelgrill Depot, follow the Dark Iron investigation and loot the required Dark Iron Map before continuing the chain.

Do I need a group for Protecting the Herd?

The named target can be difficult at the lower end of the route. Grouping is recommended, but the quest can be skipped temporarily without blocking Westfall.

Where should I go after Dun Morogh?

Use Ironforge and the Deeprun Tram to reach Stormwind, then follow the road west through Elwynn Forest into Westfall.
