The druid is the smallest class in the game — only night elves and tauren can be one, and the chains come in mirrored race-specific pairs. Its skeleton is form unlocks: Bear Form at 10 and Aquatic Form at 16 are hard gates, with Cure Poison at 14 and the level-50 Un'Goro line woven between. This edition is rearranged as a step-by-step walkthrough: every line is broken into "what level, where to go, who to see, what to do, where next" — follow the numbers. The druid's biggest travel perk is Teleport: Moonglade: castable from the second step of the level-10 bear chain, it drops you at every Moonglade stop in every later level band (14/16/50) with no overland running; each race runs its own line, but the bulk of the route converges in Moonglade — the hub is Dendrite Starblaze in Nighthaven (56.21,30.64). Quest ids and objective text come from the QuestieDB pinned reference set (cac1eff8), cross-checked quest-by-quest against the Forever quest database — all 74 present. Marker coordinates come from the same pinned source's NPC/object spawn data; all four maps in this piece carry numbered markers; targets with no spawn data (the Moonkin Stones, the Sea Lion halves) are found per the objective text verbatim. Chain structure follows classic consensus; Forever values are governed by the game.

Level 1: the starter notes — a quick errand at home

Each race gets one level-1 starter note — a pure errand with no follow-up chain. Grab it while you are still at the starting zone.

Night elf line (Teldrassil)

  1. Verdant Sigil (3120, level 1): Conservator Ilthalaine (58.69,44.27) in Teldrassil hands you the note; read it and deliver it to Mardant Strongoak (58.63,40.29) inside the tree Aldrassil — the objective text names "the tree Aldrassil in Shadowglen".

Tauren line (Mulgore)

  1. Verdant Note (3094, level 1): Grull Hawkwind (44.88,77.07) hands you the note; deliver it to Gart Mistrunner (45.09,75.93) in Camp Narache, as the objective text names — the two steps are one village apart.

Level 10: Bear Form — four steps in Moonglade

The real class chain starts at 10: first hand in the Heeding the Call lead-in (three possible starters per race), then run the four Moonglade steps. Done, and you are bound to Moonglade — the teleport is in hand, and the rest of your druid chains never require map-running again.

Night elf line (starters in Teldrassil/Darnassus/Stormwind)

  1. Heeding the Call (5923/5924/5925, level 10): pick whichever starter is closest — Kal (Teldrassil, 55.95,61.56), Fylerian Nightwing (Darnassus, 33.51,8.35) or Denatharion (Darnassus, 34.77,7.37), Theridran (Stormwind, 21.24,51.63); the task is one line: report to Mathrengyl Bearwalker (35.37,8.40) in the Cenarion Enclave, Darnassus.
  2. Moonglade (5921, level 10): Mathrengyl gives you this one; the objective reads "Use the spell Teleport: Moonglade to travel to Moonglade" — cast Teleport: Moonglade and find Dendrite Starblaze (56.21,30.64) in Nighthaven. From this step on, no more running: every later Moonglade stop (14/16/50) is a teleport away.
  3. Great Bear Spirit (5929, level 10): Dendrite sends you to northwestern Moonglade to hear the Great Bear Spirit speak on the nature of the bear (objective: "Seek out the Great Bear Spirit in northwestern Moonglade") — the spawn sits in northwestern Moonglade (npc 11956, 39.11,27.50), so walk straight to it; hear it out, then report back to Dendrite.
  4. Back to Darnassus (5931, level 10): return to Mathrengyl in Darnassus.
  5. Body and Heart (6001, level 10): the objective reads "Use the Cenarion Moondust on the Moonkin Stone of Auberdine to bring forth Lunaclaw" — use the Moondust at the Auberdine Moonkin Stone, face Lunaclaw, defeat it, and report back; neither the stone nor Lunaclaw has spawn data in the pinned source, so this site plots no marker: look by the Auberdine side per the text.
  6. Hand 6001 in and you learn Bear Form — your first tanking form; solo leveling dies half as often.

Tauren line (starters in Mulgore/Thunder Bluff)

  1. Heeding the Call (5926/5927/5928, level 10): three starters — Gennia Runetotem (Mulgore, 48.48,59.64), Gart Mistrunner (Mulgore, 45.09,75.93), innkeeper Pala (Thunder Bluff, 45.81,64.71); the task is one line: find Turak Runetotem (76.48,27.22) on the Elder Rise.
  2. Moonglade (5922, level 10): same objective as the night elf version — cast Teleport: Moonglade, find Dendrite Starblaze (56.21,30.64). From this step on, no more running.
  3. Great Bear Spirit (5930, level 10): same as the night elf version — hear the spirit out in northwestern Moonglade, report back to Dendrite.
  4. Back to Thunder Bluff (5932, level 10): return to Turak in Thunder Bluff.
  5. Body and Heart (6002, level 10): the objective reads "Use the Cenarion Lunardust on the Moonkin Stone between Mulgore and the Barrens to bring forth Lunaclaw" — summon Lunaclaw at the Moonkin Stone on the Mulgore/Barrens border, defeat it, and return to Turak.
  6. Hand 6002 in and you learn Bear Form.
Moonglade — every druid chain contact at 10/16/50 (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

Moonglade — ① Dendrite Starblaze in Nighthaven (56.21,30.64): the Moonglade turn-in hub for the level-10 bear chain and the 14/16 chains; ② the Great Bear Spirit to the northwest (39.11,27.50): the 5929/5930 conversation target; ③ Tajarri at the Shrine of Remulos (36.52,40.10): where the level-16 lake trial turns in; ④ Loganaar (52.53,40.57): one of the level-50 Un'Goro line starters. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates (pinned cac1eff8), not in-game verified.

Thunder Bluff — the tauren druid trainers and chain starters (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

Thunder Bluff — ① Turak Runetotem on the Elder Rise (76.48,27.22): the tauren version's main trainer for the 10/14/16 chains; ② Sheal Runetotem on the Elder Rise (77.14,27.02): a level-50 Un'Goro line starter; ③ innkeeper Pala (45.81,64.71): the inn start of the tauren Heeding the Call (the other starter, Gennia Runetotem, is in Mulgore, not on this map). Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates, not in-game verified.

Level 10 stays inside Moonglade's inner ring: every hand-off is at Dendrite in Nighthaven, the Great Bear Spirit is one straight line northwest, and quest level 10 slots straight into your leveling rhythm. Both races run the identical five steps — only the trainers and the final Moonkin Stone differ.

Level 14: Cure Poison — Darkshore/Barrens twin versions

Return to your city trainer for Lessons Anew (night elf 6121 / tauren 6126, required level 14), teleport to Moonglade, and turn in to Dendrite for the empty sampler — teleport again. Then the races split:

Night elf line (Darkshore)

  1. The Principal Source (6122, level 14): the objective reads "Use the Empty Cliffspring Falls Sampler to draw a sample of water from the mouth of the cave by the falls" — draw water at the cave mouth by the Cliffspring falls in Darkshore; the cave mouth is a pinned object spawn, Cliffspring Falls Cave Mouth (19463, 54.92,33.31). Carry the sample back to Alanndarian Nightsong (37.69,40.66) in Auberdine.
  2. Gathering the Cure (6123, level 14): gather 5 Earthroot plus 12 Lunar Funguses on the spot and hand them to Alanndarian.
  3. Curing the Sick (6124, level 14): take the Curative Animal Salve and cure 10 Sickly Deer; the objective marks their range — "south of the Cliffspring River to the north of Auberdine and extending all the way into southern Darkshore".
  4. The finish, two steps: teleport to Moonglade and hand 6124 to Dendrite (the 6124 turn-in); take Power over Poison (6125) on the spot and return to Mathrengyl in Darnassus to learn Cure Poison.

Tauren line (the Barrens)

  1. The Principal Source (6127, level 14): the objective reads "Use the Empty Dreadmist Peak Sampler to draw a sample of water from a pool at the top of the peak" — climb Dreadmist Peak in the Barrens; the peak-top pool is a pinned object spawn, Dreadmist Peak Pool (19464, 48.40,18.89). Carry the sample to Tonga Runetotem (52.26,31.93) at the Crossroads.
  2. Gathering the Cure (6128, level 14): gather 5 Earthroot plus 5 Kodo Horns and hand them to Tonga.
  3. Curing the Sick (6129, level 14): cure 10 Sickly Gazelles; the objective marks their range — "north of the east-west road that runs through the Crossroads".
  4. The finish, two steps: teleport to Moonglade and hand 6129 to Dendrite (the 6129 turn-in); take Power over Poison (6130) on the spot and return to Turak in Thunder Bluff to learn Cure Poison.
Darkshore — the night elf cure chain: sampler and sick deer (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

Darkshore — ① Alanndarian Nightsong in Auberdine (37.69,40.66): sampler and herb turn-ins, salve hand-out; ② the Cliffspring falls cave mouth (54.92,33.31): where 6122 draws water; gold dots = a 12-of-58 sample of Sickly Deer spawns. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates, not in-game verified.

the Barrens — the tauren cure chain: sampler and sick gazelle (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

the Barrens — ① Tonga Runetotem at the Crossroads (52.26,31.93): the tauren sampler and herb hand-off; ② the Dreadmist Peak pool (48.40,18.89): where 6127 draws water; gold dots = a 12-of-64 sample of Sickly Gazelle spawns. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates, not in-game verified.

The two versions mirror perfectly: draw water, gather herbs, cure the sick, learn the spell — four legs, identical structure. Only the sampling spot (falls cave mouth vs Dreadmist peak-top pool), the herb list (12 Lunar Funguses vs 5 Kodo Horns) and the animals (deer vs gazelle) differ.

Level 16: Aquatic Form — the lake trial and the Sea Lion halves

Return to your city trainer for A Lesson to Learn (night elf 27 / tauren 26, required level 16), teleport to Moonglade, and start at Dendrite.

The convergence leg: Moonglade (both races)

  1. Trial of the Lake (night elf 29 / tauren 28, level 16): the objective reads "Find a Shrine Bauble in Lake Elune'ara, and take it to the Shrine of Remulos in northwestern Moonglade. Once there, use the Shrine Bauble." — dive into Lake Elune'ara; the lakebed holds six Bauble Container (177785) spawns: 54.3,55.69 / 52.99,48.44 / 54.61,46.55 / 54.15,50.2 / 47.94,46.89 / 56.24,53.6. Open any one for a Shrine Bauble, take it to the Shrine of Remulos in the northwest and use it, then turn in to Tajarri beside the shrine (36.52,40.10).
  2. Trial of the Sea Lion (night elf 272 / tauren 30, level 16): the objective reads "Find the Half Pendant of Aquatic Agility and the Half Pendant of Aquatic Endurance. Speak with the residents of Moonglade to learn clues as to where these items may be located." — the two halves have no spawn data, so this site plots no marker and gives no coordinates; ask Moonglade's residents for clues per the text and assemble the Pendant of the Sea Lion.

Each race turns in at home

  1. Aquatic Form (night elf 5061 / tauren 31, level 16): carry the assembled pendant back to your trainer — night elves to Mathrengyl Bearwalker (35.37,8.40) in Darnassus, tauren to Turak Runetotem (76.48,27.22) in Thunder Bluff — and learn Aquatic Form: water breathing plus swim speed, and sea crossings stop being detours.

Level 50: the Torwa Pathfinder line in Un'Goro

From level 50, Torwa Pathfinder (9063) is offered by: Loganaar (Moonglade, 52.53,40.57), Turak Runetotem (76.48,27.22) and Sheal Runetotem (77.14,27.02) on Thunder Bluff, Mathrengyl Bearwalker (35.37,8.40) and Denatharion (34.77,7.37) in Darnassus, Sheldras Moontree (20.89,55.50) and Theridran (21.24,51.63) in Stormwind, Jannos Lighthoof (Feralas, 75.99,42.28) and Golhine the Hooded (Felwood, 61.93,24.54) — the pinned source sets no race restriction, any druid qualifies. The objective reads "Speak with Torwa Pathfinder in Un'Goro Crater" — he stands in southern Un'Goro Crater (71.64,75.96; the crater has no basemap in this piece, navigate by coordinates). The pinned chain order is 9063→9052→9051→9053, and all three legs hand in at Torwa:

  1. Bloodpetal Poison (9052, quest level 52): collect 8 Bloodcaps plus 8 Gorishi Stings.
  2. Toxic Test (9051, quest level 52): stab a devilsaur with the Devilsaur Barb and report back to Torwa.
  3. A Better Ingredient (9053, quest level 52): descend to the bottom of the Sunken Temple, take the Putrid Vine from its guardian, and close the line back in Un'Goro.

Nothing here unlocks a form — clear it while leveling through Un'Goro, not as a detour.

Level 58: Wildheart to T0.5 — the eight-piece buy-back in four legs

The Wildheart eight-piece T0.5 buy-back runs as mirrored legs for the two factions (the pinned druid bag holds the opener, the second leg and the two later legs; 8926/8927's follow-ups 8929/8930 and 8951/9016's follow-ups 8960/9032 sit outside the bag — ordering follows your in-game quest list):

  1. The opener, An Earnest Proposition (Alliance 8905 / Horde 8913, required level 58): Alliance brings Deliana in Ironforge (43.53,52.64) a set of Wildheart Bracers, 15 Winterspring Blood Samples and 20 gold; Horde brings Mokvar in Orgrimmar (34.95,38.29) the Bracers, 15 Silithus Venom Samples and 20 gold.
  2. Just Compensation (Alliance 8926 / Horde 8927): the same pair of NPCs takes a Wildheart Belt plus a set of Wildheart Gloves (follow-ups 8929/8930 are outside the bag).
  3. Anthion's Parting Words (Alliance 8951 / Horde 9016): Anthion Harmon (Eastern Plaguelands, 30.85,16.75) hands out this leg; bring the Wildheart Boots, Wildheart Kilt and Wildheart Spaulders back to Deliana/Mokvar (follow-ups 8960/9032 are outside the bag).
  4. Saving the Best for Last (Alliance 8999 / Horde 9007): the finale takes your Wildheart Cowl plus Wildheart Vest, with no follow-up in the bag — all eight pieces exchanged.

Level 60: Zul'Gurub / Ahn'Qiraj / Silithus / EPL — the graduation exchange list

  1. The Zul'Gurub trio (Maywiki of Zuldazar, 15.30,16.02): she stands on Yojamba Isle, Stranglethorn Vale (named verbatim in the objective text); reputation gates the pieces — Paragons of Power: The Haruspex's Bracers (8057) from Friendly for a Primal Hakkari Stanchion; The Haruspex's Belt (8064) at Honored for a Primal Hakkari Sash; The Haruspex's Tunic (8065) at Revered for a Primal Hakkari Tabard.
  2. The five Genesis pieces (8665-8669): handled by Kandrostrasz, Vethsera and Andorgos inside the temple (no in-temple markers in the pinned source — find them via the quest list): Genesis Helm (8667, Andorgos, Friendly), Genesis Boots (8665, Kandrostrasz, Neutral), Genesis Shoulderpads (8669, Andorgos, Neutral), Genesis Trousers (8668, Kandrostrasz, Friendly), Genesis Vest (8666, Vethsera, Honored); the material bill is per-piece in the quest text.
  3. The Cenarion Circle trio in Silithus: Cloak of Unending Life (8692) from Keyl Swiftclaw (51.76,39.54) at Revered — a Qiraji Regal Drape, 2 Vermillion Idols, 5 Silver Scarabs, 5 Bone Scarabs; Band of Unending Life (8700) from Windcaller Yessendra (52.05,38.16) at Honored — a Qiraji Magisterial Ring, 2 Alabaster Idols, 5 Bronze Scarabs, 5 Ivory Scarabs; Mace of Unending Life (8708) from Warden Haro (51.14,38.94) at Exalted — a Qiraji Ornate Hilt, 2 Jasper Idols, 5 Crystal Scarabs, 5 Stone Scarabs. One more leg sits in the same zone: Armaments of War (8382) with Geologist Larksbane (49.67,37.46) — no objective text in the pinned source.
  4. The eight Dreamwalker pieces (9086-9093): Rayne (81.20,59.00) at Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands crafts each piece to order — every piece costs 1 Desecrated piece plus a bundle of Wartorn Leather Scraps; the rest of the bill (Cured Rugged Hides, Nexus Crystal/Arcane Crystal, Mooncloth on some pieces) is per-piece in the quest text.
  5. The Easter egg (9269): the closing leg of the legendary staff Atiesh also sits in this class bag — started by Anachronos (65.27,50.03) at the Caverns of Time in Tanaris; per the objective text, take Atiesh to Stratholme, use it on the Consecrated Earth and return after the exorcised entity falls.
