About Desolace
For over a thousand years the tauren and the centaur fought a bloody war for the plains of Kalimdor. When the tauren finally found peace in Mulgore, most of the centaur retreated to Desolace, a lifeless land of bone-white dust and ravaged earth, where they turned on each other. The Magram and Gelkis clans have been fighting ever since.
The heart of the region is Maraudon, a place sacred to the centaur. There, the earth elemental Princess Theradras and the spirit of her fallen mate, the keeper of the grove Zaetar, are locked in a struggle that has poisoned the land around them. Nijel’s Point and Shadowprey Village hold the edges of a country that has forgotten what green looked like.
Nijel’s Point and Shadowprey Village hold the edges of this barren land, and Maraudon waits in the south-west, a vast cavern dungeon tied to the centaur legend.

Desolace Leveling Guide for the Alliance, Levels 30–40
Desolace is the long, dry valley south of Ashenvale and Stonetalon, and Alliance players treat it as one road with a hub at each end: Nijel's Point in the north-east, where every quest giver you need is standing, and the Kolkar and kodo country around Scrabblescrew's Camp in the south. Plan on one long loop and a second, shorter trip back for the quests that are still red when you first arrive.
Monsters run from level 31 satyrs at Sargeron to level 37 to 38 Undead Ravagers and the level 36 Tyranis Malem. The Burning Blade Seer is 33, and Khan Dez'hepah, the Kolkar chief, is 35. Almost every quest item here is a quest-only drop, so there is no shopping to do at the auction house first.
1Nijel's Point: Pick Up the HubLevel 30–34
Follow the road west past Sun Rock Retreat and into the Charred Vale; Nijel's Point stands at the top of the pass. Kreldig Ungor, Vahlarriel Demonslayer, Corporal Melkins and Brother Anton are all in the camp. Bind your hearthstone at the inn and take the flight path.
Take every quest you can see: the Reclaimers' reagent runs, Vahlarriel's search for the Malems, the Centaur Bounty and Brother Anton's Scarlet errand all start here, and almost everything you hand in later comes back to this camp.

- 1Kreldig Ungor 66.2, 9.6: Reagents for Reclaimers Inc. for Hatefury Claws and Horns, then The Karnitol Shipwreck.
- 2Vahlarriel Demonslayer 66.4, 11.8: Vahlarriel's Search.
- 3Corporal Melkins 66.7, 10.9: Centaur Bounty, 15 Centaur Ears from the Kolkar.
- 4Brother Anton 66.5, 7.9: Down the Scarlet Path.
2Sargeron and the Hatefury SatyrsLevel 31–33
The Hatefury satyrs hold the ruins of Sargeron, east of Nijel's Point. Rogues and Felsworn are level 31 to 32, Shadowstalkers and the other casters 32 to 33. One kill in this camp feeds the Claws and the Horns for Kreldig at the same time, so do both runs in one pull.

- 1Sargeron 72.4, 18.2: 10 Hatefury Claws and 10 Hatefury Horns for Reagents for Reclaimers Inc.
- 2Northern ruins 74.2, 11.0: finish the Claws and Horns here; the satyrs are thickest around this camp.
- 3Nijel's Point 66.2, 9.6: hand in and take the next Reclaimers errand, Reagents for Reclaimers Inc. for 7 Scorpashi Venoms and 3 Aged Kodo Hides.
3The Malems and Thunder Axe FortressLevel 31–34
Vahlarriel sends you to the wagon of Tyranis and Dalinda Malem, south-west of Nijel's Point. The pendant is in the wagon, Dalinda hides inside the Burning Blade fortress, and her brother Tyranis, level 36, walks the fortress with the level 30 to 33 cultists: pull him alone.
Azore Aldamort's Sceptre of Light goes in the same trip. The sceptre is in the main building of the fortress, guarded by the level 33 Burning Blade Seer, so clear the cultists first and take it in one go.

- 1Tyranis' wagon 53.0, 29.1: take the pendant for Search for Tyranis, then give it to Dalinda.
- 2Dalinda Malem 54.9, 26.1: Return to Vahlarriel; escort her out of the fortress.
- 3Azore Aldamort 38.9, 27.2: Sceptre of Light; his tower is on the hill west of the fortress, so take the quest first.
- 4Fortress main building 55.2, 30.1: kill the Burning Blade Seer and take the sceptre, then go back to Azore.
- 5Vahlarriel Demonslayer 66.4, 11.8: hand in Return to Vahlarriel.
4Down the Road: Caravan, Kodos and KolkarLevel 33–36
Ride south past Kormek's Hut. Cork Gizelton's caravan waits by the road north of Kolkar Village. If it has already left, ride on; the escort is a straight walk south to Scrabblescrew's Camp. Kolkar ambushers (34 to 35) come in waves, so skip it below level 33.
Smeed Scrabblescrew's Kodo Roundup is one tamed kodo at a time: use the Kombobulator on an Aged, Dying or Ancient Kodo in the graveyard and walk it back to the camp, five times. Aged Kodos also carry the hides for Kreldig.
Every Kolkar around Kolkar Village can drop an ear for Melkins.

- 1Cork Gizelton 66.5, 37.5: Bodyguard for Hire; stay with the caravan until it stops at Scrabblescrew's Camp.
- 2Scorpashi hills 40.4, 40.8: 7 Scorpashi Venoms for Kreldig on the road south.
- 3Smeed Scrabblescrew 60.9, 61.9: Kodo Roundup.
- 4Kodo Graveyard 53.9, 58.1: tame five kodos, then take the 3 Aged Kodo Hides from the Aged ones 57.8, 71.0.
- 5Kolkar Village 65.6, 70.3: 15 Centaur Ears for Centaur Bounty.
5The Graveyard Errands and the Far CornersLevel 34–40
Four more quests start in the south, all in the Kodo Graveyard country: Bibbly F'utzbuckle's Bone Collector at Kormek's Hut, Hornizz's Ghost-o-plasm Round Up, Melizza's Get Me Out of Here! and Rigger Gizelton's Gizelton Caravan. The last two are escorts; both end at the graveyard or Scrabblescrew's Camp.
The last Reclaimers run is the longest of the trip: 10 Felhound Brains, 10 Nether Wings and 10 Doomwarder Blood from the demons in the south of the valley, level 37 to 38 Undead Ravagers for Brother Anton go with it, and the Book of the Ancients for Azore waits on the coast to the north-west.

- 1Bibbly F'utzbuckle 62.3, 39.0: Bone Collector, 10 Kodo Bones from the graveyard 49.0, 60.1.
- 2Hornizz Brimbuzzle 47.8, 61.8: Ghost-o-plasm Round Up, 8 Ghost-o-plasms 64.2, 91.6.
- 3Melizza Brimbuzzle 34.0, 53.5: Get Me Out of Here!; escort her back to Hornizz.
- 4Rigger Gizelton 45.4, 75.3: Gizelton Caravan; follow it to Smeed.
- 5Felhound ground 56.5, 73.0: Felhound Brains, Nether Wings and Doomwarder Blood for the Reclaimers' last errand; Undead Ravagers for Brother Anton are further south 64.0, 81.5.
- 6Azore's book 28.2, 6.7: take the Book of the Ancients back to Azore Aldamort at his tower.
- 7Karnitol's Chest 36.1, 30.4: The Karnitol Shipwreck, then back to Kreldig.
6Next Stop
Back at Nijel's Point, Kreldig hands you a package for Roetten Stonehammer in Ironforge, and Brother Anton's letter goes to Raleigh the Devout in Southshore. From here the road continues to Feralas or back north through Ashenvale.
Desolace Leveling Guide for the Horde, Levels 30–39
Desolace is a two-hub valley for the Horde: Ghost Walker Post in the middle, with Felgur, Takata Steelblade and Maurin Bonesplitter, and Shadowprey Village on the south-west coast. You arrive from Sun Rock Retreat on the road from Stonetalon and start with the Gizelton caravan before you reach either.
Monsters run from level 31 satyrs to level 35 Slitherblade Myrmidons. The Hatefury Shadowstalkers, Burning Blade cultists and the Burning Blade Seer stand around 30 to 33; Khan Dez'hepah, the Kolkar chief, is 35. Nearly every quest item here is a quest-only drop, so there is nothing to buy at the auction house first.
1The Caravan and the Kodo GraveyardLevel 30–35
Follow the road south-west out of Sun Rock Retreat past Nijel's Point to Cork Gizelton's kodo caravan, waiting north of Kolkar Village. Kolkar raiders ambush it in waves, so kill them before they reach Cork. It stops at Scrabblescrew's Camp, east of Ghost Walker Post.
Smeed's Kodo Roundup follows: use the Kombobulator on an Aged, Dying or Ancient Kodo and walk the tamed kodo back, five times.

- 1Cork Gizelton 66.5, 37.5: Bodyguard for Hire.
- 2Smeed Scrabblescrew 60.9, 61.9: Kodo Roundup.
- 3Kodo Graveyard 52.0, 57.5: tame five kodos and lead each one back to the camp.
2Ghost Walker PostLevel 30–35
Felgur Twocuts is in the post; Takata Steelblade and Maurin Bonesplitter wait on the rise west of it, above the Kodo Graveyard. Alliance Relations from Orgrimmar ends here, and the next link takes you to Maurin for the Burning Blade chain.

- 1Felgur Twocuts 56.2, 59.6: Khan Dez'hepah and Centaur Bounty.
- 2Takata Steelblade 52.6, 54.4: Alliance Relations and Befouled by Satyr.
- 3Maurin Bonesplitter 52.3, 53.4: The Burning of Spirits and The Corrupter.
3Kolkar Village: Khan Dez'hepah and the EarsLevel 30–35
Ride north-east to Kolkar Village. Khan Dez'hepah, level 35, walks among the tents on the east side with a Battle Lord or two (32 to 33): clear around him, then pull him alone at full health.
Every Kolkar can drop a Centaur Ear, so take the 15 ears at the same time.

- 1Kolkar Village 73.5, 47.0: 15 Centaur Ears for Centaur Bounty.
- 2Khan Dez'hepah 73.0, 47.8: Khan Dez'hepah, then return to Felgur.
4Sargeron and Thunder Axe FortressLevel 31–35
The Hatefury satyrs hold the ruins of Sargeron along the eastern hills. You need Rogues, Felsworn, Betrayers and Hellcallers, seven of each, from level 31 to 33. The Shadowstalkers walk unseen until they strike, and about one in three carries the scalp for Maurin.
For the Burning of Spirits ride west to Thunder Axe Fortress: beat a Burning Blade cultist down, then use the Burning Gem on it before it dies, to fill one gem. They also drop a Flayed Demon Skin now and then, one to five percent of the time: if one drops, read it.
The Burning Blade Seer stands on the south side of the fortress, east of Ethel Rethor. Clear the cultists around it first.

- 1Sargeron 73.6, 25.5: kill 7 each of the Rogues, Felsworn 74.4, 24.4, Betrayers 75.2, 25.9 and Hellcallers 76.8, 25.6 for Befouled by Satyr.
- 2Shadowstalkers 76.5, 23.2: the Shadowstalker Scalp for The Corrupter.
- 3Thunder Axe Fortress 55.0, 26.5: 15 Infused Burning Gems for The Burning of Spirits.
- 4Burning Blade Seer 55.2, 30.1: the Sceptre of Light for Sceptre of Light; Azore Aldamort waits in the ruined tower of Ethel Rethor 38.9, 27.2.
- 5Ghost Walker Post 52.3, 53.4: hand in The Burning of Spirits and the Corrupter chain, then take the last Corrupter errand to Takata Steelblade 52.6, 54.4.
5Shadowprey Village and the CoastLevel 31–38
Ride south-west to the troll village on the coast, keeping clear of Gelkis Village on the way; its centaurs are a good camp until level 32. Roon Wildmane, Mai'Lahii, Taiga Wisemane and Drulzegar Skraghook all give quests here.
The Giant Softshell Clams lie in the shallows north of the village and the Enraged Reef Crawlers walk the beach; open each clam in your bags for its meat. Further north, at Sar'theris Strand, the Slitherblade naga hold the beach: pull the Oracles one at a time. The Oracle Crystal for Maurin comes from the northern end.
Taiga's Hand of Iruxos sends you to Thunder Axe Fortress for a Demon Box: use the Demon Pick on the Demon Spirit in the fortress. Portals of the Legion sends you east to Mannoroc Coven, where you use the quest item by each demon portal to close six of them.

- 1Roon Wildmane 25.1, 72.3: Hunting in Stranglethorn, which finishes in the Vale.
- 2Mai'Lahii 22.6, 72.0: Clam Bait; the clam meat is on the coast to the north 31.0, 35.8.
- 3Drulzegar Skraghook 23.3, 72.9: Other Fish to Fry, 7 Slitherblade Myrmidons 33.8, 22.4, 7 Naga 32.7, 23.9 and 5 Sorceresses 32.9, 23.3.
- 4Sar'theris Strand 27.7, 7.9: the Oracle Crystal for Maurin.
- 5Taiga Wisemane 25.8, 68.2: Hand of Iruxos 55.0, 26.6 and Portals of the Legion 52.0, 78.0.
6The Graveyard ErrandsLevel 32–39
Four short quests round out the south: Bone Collector from Bibbly at Kormek's Hut, Ghost-o-plasm Round Up from Hornizz, Get Me Out of Here! from Melizza and Gizelton Caravan from Rigger Gizelton. The Book of the Ancients for Azore is at the far northern tip of the coast, guarded by Lord Kragaru.
With these done you are ready for Stranglethorn: Roon's kodo horn goes to Hemet Nesingwary, and the road south reaches Feralas next.

- 1Bibbly F'utzbuckle 62.3, 39.0: Bone Collector, 10 Kodo Bones from the graveyard 49.0, 60.1.
- 2Hornizz Brimbuzzle 47.8, 61.8: Ghost-o-plasm Round Up, with Melizza's Get Me Out of Here! from 34.0, 53.5.
