The warrior sits mid-pack for class-quest load (107 class quests in the reference set), but the chains spread the widest: the level-1 birth note hands you to your trainer first, the level-10 weapon chains split by starting city, the level-20 armor lines pit Alliance material runs against the Horde's three-piece set, and the level-30 Whirlwind Weapon crosses Fray Island and Alterac before the Blasted Lands and three raid-barter tracks open past 50. 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. Quest ids and objective text come from the QuestieDB pinned reference set (cac1eff8), cross-checked quest-by-quest against the Forever quest database — all present. Trainer, contact and target-entity markers come from the same pinned source's spawn data; all five maps carry numbered markers. Chain structure follows classic consensus; Forever values are governed by the game.

Level 10: the weapon chains — six starting lines, birth note first

The level-10 weapon chains split by starting city, but the pinned source's race masks are looser than "race-exclusive": all four Alliance races (mask 77) can run any Alliance line, and all four Horde races (mask 178) can run any Horde line — the six lines are really six "starting lines"; just pick the city nearest your birthplace. Step 1 of every line is the level-1 birth note: read the note and see the trainer per the objective text, and your warrior status is on the books.

Alliance · Stormwind line (the Bartleby chain + the Haggard chain)

  1. Check in at Northshire Abbey (level 1): the birth note Simple Letter (3100): Marshal McBride in Elwynn Forest (48.92,41.61) hands out the letter — the objective reads Read the Simple Letter and speak to Llane Beshere in Northshire Abbey. — deliver it to Llane Beshere (50.24,42.29) in the abbey.
  2. Start in Stormwind (level 10): A Warrior's Training (1638) has two possible starters per the pinned source — Lyria Du Lac in Elwynn Forest (41.09,65.77) or Ilsa Corbin in Stormwind (78.50,45.71); the objective reads Speak with Harry Burlguard. — find Harry Burlguard in Stormwind (74.26,37.25).

  4. The Haggard two-step (1666/1667): from the same spot Harry issues a second line: find Marshal Haggard out in Elwynn Forest (84.61,69.38, 1666), then retrieve Haggard's Badge from Dead-tooth Jack's camp (1667) — the camp is not in the pinned source, so follow the quest list; turn the badge in to Haggard to close the chain.

Alliance · Darnassus line (the two Elanaria chains)

  1. Check in at Shadowglen (level 1): night elves take Simple Sigil (3116): Conservator Ilthalaine in Teldrassil (58.69,44.27) hands out the sigil; read and find Alyissia in Shadowglen (59.64,38.44).

  4. The Elura two-step (1686→1692): a second line starts at Elanaria: gather 8 loads of Elunite Ore and Elura's Medallion (1686); after turning those in, carry the Case of Elunite to Smith Mathiel (59.51,45.38, 1692) and take the Weapons of Elunite (1693) reward to finish.

Horde · Orc/Troll/Tauren line (Durotar/Mulgore starts, converging in the Barrens)

  1. The birth notes (level 1): orc Simple Parchment (2383) and troll Simple Tablet (3065) both come from Gornek in the Valley of Trials (42.06,68.33), then on to Frang (42.89,69.44); tauren Simple Note (3091) comes from Grull Hawkwind at Camp Narache (44.88,77.07), then on to Harutt Thunderhorn (44.01,76.13).

Horde · the Tirisfal branch (the heirloom weapon chain, 1818-1822)

  1. Check in at Deathknell (level 1): undead take Simple Scroll (3095): Shadow Priest Sarvis in Deathknell, Tirisfal (30.84,66.20) hands out the scroll; read and then see Dannal Stern (32.69,65.56).
  2. Meet in Brill (level 10): Speak with Dillinger (1818) is open to all four Horde races, with two possible starters — Austil de Mon at the Brill crossroads (61.85,52.54) or Baltus Fowler in the Undercity (47.40,17.29); the objective reads Speak with Deathguard Dillinger in Brill. — find Deathguard Dillinger (58.20,51.45).
  3. Kill Ulag (1819): the objective reads Kill Ulag the Cleaver, then speak with Deathguard Dillinger.; Ulag (npc 6390 in the pinned source) has no recorded spawn, so follow the quest list and return to Dillinger.
  4. Four heirlooms (1820→1821→1822): Dillinger passes you to Coleman Farthing (61.72,52.29, 1820); Coleman wants the four Agamand family pieces — axe, sword, mace and dagger (1821, quest level 11); turn them in for the Heirloom Weapon (1822) to close the chain.
Stormwind — the Alliance warrior contacts at levels 10/20 (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

Stormwind — ① Harry Burlguard (74.26,37.25): the 1638 hand-off; ② Bartleby (73.78,36.33): the sparring partner of 1639/1640/1665; ③ Wu Shen (78.68,45.79): contact for the level-30/50 chains; ④ Furen Longbeard (58.09,16.54): hub of the level-20 armor chain; ⑤ Grimand Elmore (51.76,12.08): the human variant. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates (pinned cac1eff8), not in-game verified.

Ironforge — ① the Hall of Explorers holds Muren Stormpike (70.77,90.27) · Kelv Sternhammer (70.34,90.65): the level-10 and level-30/50 starts share one hall; ② Tormus Deepforge (48.64,42.48): the back half of the level-10 chain; ③ Klockmort Spannerspan (67.92,46.10): the level-20 armor variant; ④ Deliana (43.53,52.64): the T0.5 Alliance contact.

All of level 10 is the same combo of "meet people, beat people, fetch things": the Stormwind line closes on a badge, the Ironforge line ends with the Grey Iron Weapons, the Darnassus line with the Weapons of Elunite, the Horde main line closes on forged steel, and the heirloom line trades for the Heirloom Weapon. Quest levels 10-11 slot straight into your leveling rhythm.

Level 20: the armor chains — three Alliance cities gathering vs. the Horde's three pieces

Alliance · Fire Hardened Mail (1698→1702→1701, closing with 1782)

  1. Meet in Stormwind (level 20): Wu Shen (78.68,45.79) issues Yorus Barleybrew (1698): the objective reads Speak with Yorus Barleybrew. — head for Redridge.
  2. The timed cave run (The Rethban Gauntlet, 1699, quest level 22): take it from Yorus Barleybrew in Redridge (26.58,44.72); the objective reads Enter the Rethban Caverns, reach the first fork, and return to Yorus Barleybrew within the time allowed. — the cave is not in the pinned source, so follow the quest list; beat the clock and turn in to Yorus.
  3. Second leg back to Stormwind (The Shieldsmith, 1702, quest level 22): Yorus hands you one more: carry the Cask of Scalder to Furen Longbeard in Stormwind (58.09,16.54) — the hub of the Alliance armor chain.

  5. Three-city gathering splits (pick your line by race mask): Furen also sends his notes to three cities — human/gnome (mask 65) goes to Grimand Elmore (51.76,12.08, 1700) and runs Burning Blood (1705): 20 vials of Burning Blood + 1 Burning Rock; dwarf/gnome (mask 68) returns to Klockmort Spannerspan in Ironforge (67.92,46.10, 1704) and runs Iron Coral (1708): 20 loads of Searing Coral (gnomes can run either line); night elf (mask 8) returns to Mathiel in Darnassus (59.51,45.38, 1703) and runs Sunscorched Shells (1710): 20 Sunscorched Shells. Each line carries a closing slip (1706/1709/1711, quest level 30) handled at its own contact.

  3. Referral to the smith (Speak with Thun'grim, 1825): Ruga hands you another letter: back into the Barrens for Thun'grim Firegaze (57.23,30.34).

The formal order (Brutal Armor, 1838, quest level 30): the objective reads Bring to Thun'grim Firegaze 15 Smoky Iron Ingots, 10 Powdered Azurite, 10 Iron Bars and a Vial of Phlogiston. — gather the four materials and bring them back; the pinned source's target entities also log Jaedenar Hunter spawns in Felwood (around 36.51,56.37), so map the materials to mobs per the quest list.
  5. The three-piece splits: Thun'grim issues three letters — the gloves line goes to Ula'elek at Sen'jin Village (56.31,74.33, 1839), gather 7 Uncloven Satyr Hooves (1842) and claim the Brutal Gauntlets (1843); the helm line goes to Orm Stonehoof in Thunder Bluff (38.99,55.98, 1840), fetch a Galvanized Horn (1844) and claim the Brutal Helm (1845); the legguards line goes to Velora Nitely in the Undercity (62.14,39.14, 1841), gather 8 Sturdy Dragonmaw Shinbones (1846) and claim the Brutal Legguards (1847).

the Barrens — the Horde level-10 hub, the level-20 armor chain and Fray Island (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations)

the Barrens — ① Uzzek (61.38,21.12): where the Horde level-10 weapon chains converge; ② Thun'grim Firegaze (57.23,30.34): forged steel at 10, Brutal Armor at 20; ③ Ruga Ragetotem (44.67,59.42): Trial at the Field of Giants; ④ Fray Island's Klannoc Macleod (68.62,49.16): The Islander / The Affray. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates (pinned cac1eff8), not in-game verified.

The Alliance leg spreads across Stormwind, Redridge and each home city; the Horde leg plays out entirely in the Barrens — the Camp Taurajo trial, the smith's order, a loop through Durotar/Thunder Bluff/Undercity for the three pieces, and everything turns back in to Thun'grim.

Level 30: the Whirlwind Weapon — Fray Island plus a summoning circle

  1. Six capitals take the orders (The Islander, 1718): at 30, return to any capital warrior trainer — Wu Shen in Stormwind (78.68,45.79), Kelv Sternhammer in Ironforge (70.34,90.65), Darnath Bladesinger in Darnassus (58.94,35.35), Sorek in Orgrimmar (80.39,32.38), Torm Ragetotem in Thunder Bluff (57.24,87.37), Baltus Fowler in the Undercity (47.40,17.29); per the pinned source this chain lists no race restrictions (empty races field).

  4. Cyclonian (1712, quest level 40): the objective reads Bring the items on Bath'rah's Parchment to Bath'rah the Windwatcher in Alterac. — this line likewise lists no race restrictions in the pinned source; two target entities carry pinned locations: Makaru in Orgrimmar (73.12,26.08) and Illiyana in Ashenvale (21.73,53.34); follow the quest list for the checklist and bring everything back to Bath'rah in Alterac.
  5. The summoning circle (The Summoning, 1713, quest level 40): the objective reads Bring the Whirlwind Heart to Bath'rah Windwatcher. — deliver the Whirlwind Heart to Bath'rah; the summoning circle has no pinned spawn, complete it on site.
  6. Close the chain (Whirlwind Weapon, 1792): turn in at Bath'rah and pick one of three weapons (reward details = classic 1.12 consensus) — the Whirlwind Weapon is yours.
  7. Worth a mention (Essence of the Exile, 1714): the pinned source also holds an independent level-30 chain (quest level 37): no objective text or turn-in recorded; its target entities are pinned in Arathi Highlands with the Dabyries — Kenata (56.38,36.09), Fardel (56.55,38.70), Marcel (54.18,38.09); run it or not per the quest list and in-game prompts.
Alterac — the Whirlwind Weapon summoning chain (site client map render with site-made numbered annotations; basemap newly rendered this pass)

Alterac — ① Bath'rah the Windwatcher (80.50,66.92): the hand-off for Cyclonian / The Summoning / Whirlwind Weapon; the summoning circle and Big Will have no pinned spawn. Markers = QuestieDB spawn coordinates (pinned cac1eff8), not in-game verified.

Level 50: the Fallen Hero of the Horde chain

  1. Six capitals take the orders (A Troubled Spirit, 8417): at 50, return to any capital trainer — the same six as level 30, except the Undercity contact swaps to Christoph Walker (46.93,15.23); the objective reads Speak with the Fallen Hero of the Horde at the entrance to the Blasted Lands. — go to the Blasted Lands entrance (the pinned spawn sits in Swamp of Sorrows at 34.29,66.14) and find the Fallen Hero of the Horde.
  2. Cull the helboars (Warrior Kinship, 8423, quest level 52): the objective reads Kill 7 Helboar in the Blasted Lands and return to the Fallen Hero of the Horde. — per the pinned spawns the pack clusters in the mid-west (52.38,58.00 / 51.49,53.20 / 50.65,55.71); kill 7 and turn in.
  3. Clear the Shadowsworn (War on the Shadowsworn, 8424, quest level 52): the objective reads Slaughter the Shadowsworn in the Blasted Lands and return to the Fallen Hero of the Horde. — the camps pin to the southeast (Adept 67.10,31.36 / Cultist 64.48,33.27 / Thug 62.59,40.81 and around); clear them and turn in.

Worth a mention, a level-54 slip (Codex of Defense, 7499): the objective reads Return the book to its rightful owners. — the turn-in, Lorekeeper Kildrath, carries only an area id and no map point in the pinned source; where the book comes from follows the quest list.

Level 58: the T0.5 upgrade chain

  1. Sign up (An Earnest Proposition, 8912): Deliana (43.53,52.64) opens the books — the objective reads Acquire 15 Winterspring Blood Samples and 20 gold and bring them along with a set of Bracers of Valor to Deliana in Ironforge. — 15 blood samples + 20 gold + a set of Bracers of Valor.
