Levels 20-30
Start closer to 22. The opening mobs and elite patrols leave more room for a clean pull.
Named threats on the road
Stitches: an elite abomination on the main road. Check the road before traveling between quest areas.
Mor'Ladim: elite undead in the cemetery. Check nameplates before pulling nearby targets.
Worgen caves: tight packs and fast respawns. Pull to the entrance and keep a clear exit.
Twilight Armor quest line: sends players into the mine where runners can bring more packs. Bring a reliable group.
Let Darkshire be the anchor
Quest from Darkshire outward. Check the road for Stitches before riding at night.
Do the graveyard quests before the mine. The cemetery has a clearer retreat path.
Skip elite quests without a reliable group. Return when the group can control the route.
Use the road carefully
The road connects the quest areas, and Stitches patrols it. Check the route before riding through.
