In this section, you will find a comprehensive guide to leveling efficiently in Shadowmoon Valley as an Alliance player using the TBC Classic system. It describes the level range, optional leveling path, important quest hubs, and best quest rewards to be found in Shadowmoon Valley, a high-level zone in Outland. It also includes a list of the best quest rewards.

When Horde players arrive in Shadowmoon Valley, they will immediately proceed to Shadowmoon Village for protection. Shadowmoon Village is the primary quest hub in Shadowmoon Valley, and it does contain a flying trainer for those interested in learning to fly. If you have enough gold on your character by the time you reach level 70 in the zone, you can immediately go and equip yourself with flying and a mount. The majority of the quests you receive from this hub will have you performing tasks in the surrounding area, which is not far from the village.

In the aftermath of Shadowmoon Village, Horde players will travel to Slag Watch, which is located near the Deathforge, for the next questing destination. These quests are short quest chains that involve disrupting the activity inside the Deathforge and gathering information about what is going on in Shadowmoon Valley. They are not difficult to complete even if you have lots of WOW TBC gold for using in AH to buy items.

Finally, the final questing hub is either Sanctum of the Stars if you are a Scryer or Altar of Sha'tar if you are an Aldor, depending on your class. This series of quests will teach the player about the Black Temple and its inhabitants. There will also be a lengthy quest chain involving the Warden's Cage that will introduce the player to Akama and his backstory.

The Cipher of Damnation quest chain, which takes place in Shadowmoon Valley and is required for the attunement process, is a very important quest chain that takes place in Shadowmoon Valley. Those who have completed their questing experience in Shadowmoon Valley are strongly advised to begin their questing process on this quest chain!
