Alliance Hunter Quests: Levels 1-10

Again, I don't know why I'm bothering with this, since there's really no "hunter loot" this low, but since I did the Horde, I felt bad leaving Alliance out. Especially since there's no Alliance version of Tranquillien, which is next. Poor Alliance.

These really aren't "hunter quests" per se, either, but quests that have "loot of interest." But I don't know what else to call them.

I babble.

Starting Area: Azuremyst Isle*
Quest: Beast Training
This is a draenei-only quest.
Starts: Huntress Kella Nightbow, at Valaar's Berth
Rewards: Training Lesson, Silver Crossbow

Quest: Inoculation
Starts: Vindicator Aldar, near the crash site in Ammen Vale
Rewards: Minor Healing Potion x3, choice of Elixir of Minor Defense x3 or Elixir of Lion's Strength x3, 1s50c, Exodar +250

Quest: Blood Elf Spy
Starts: Tolaan, southwestern Ammen Vale
Rewards: Exodar Crossbow, 3s, Exodar +500

Quest: The Prophecy of Velen
Begins the quest chain ending with "Deliver Them From Evil..."
Starts: Admiral Odesyus at Odesyus' Landing, south of Azure Watch
Rewards: Crossbow of the Albatross (at completion of step five, "Show Gnomercy"), various monetary and rep rewards

Quest: Learning the Language
Begins the quest chain ending with "The Prophecy of Akida."
Starts: Cryptographer Aurren, Azure Watch
Rewards: Arugoo's Crossbow of Destruction, Exodar +500 (upon completion)

Quest: Beasts of the Apocalypse
Starts: Moordo, outside of Stillpine Hold, north of Azure Watch
Rewards: Ravager Hide Leggings

Quest: The Kurken's Hide
Starts: Kurz the Revelator, outside of Stillpine Hold, north of Azure Watch
Rewards: Kurken Hide Jerkin

*The quest chain starting with "The Great Moongraze Hunt" doesn't offer any hunter-specific rewards (though the rewards are useful to hunters), but it does get you in that huntery mood.


Starting Area: Dun Morogh
Quest: Training the Beast
This is a dwarf-only quest.
Starts: Grif Wildheart, Kharanos
Rewards: Training Lesson

Quest: The Lost Pilot
This quest is the prerequisite to "A Pilot's Revenge."
Starts: Pilot Hammerfoot, North Gate Outpost in northeastern Dun Morogh (on the way to Loch Modan)
Rewards: Craftsman's Dagger, Ironforge/Gnomeregan Exiles +150 (upon completion of "A Pilot's Revenge")


Starting Area: Teldrassil
Quest: Training the Beast
This is a night elf-only quest.
Starts: Dazalar, Dolanaar
Rewards: Training Lesson

This is really the only worthwhile 1-10 quest in Teldrassil for hunters, which is kind of a surprise.

Aside from a couple of quests that give healing potions, there are really no quests of particular interest in Elwynn Forest, which is unsurprising as humans cannot be hunters.

The best selection of quests for hunters leveling from 1-10 is Azuremyst Isle; dwarves and night elves can't use crossbows yet, but since there are no bow or gun rewards at that level in their starting zones, it's still the best place to get upgrades in that level range. However, since the training quest must be completed in your own starting zone, it's probably not worth it to go elsewhere at that level, though the trip is an easy one for night elves.
