Horde Hunter Quests: Levels 1-10

This entry is actually somewhat ridiculous, since you don't get any real "hunter loot" other than bows until the mid-teens; nothing has stat boosts until then. So this is basically a list of quests that give bows.

I really don't know why I'm doing this.

Note the quests that grant Tranquillien rep in the Eversong Woods starting zone, though. This quest grants 250 rep with Tranquillien, and reaching exalted with this faction (fairly simple to do, if you do all of the Tranquillien quests) lets you buy some leather gear with agility boosts and a very nice cloak, all of which would be pretty expensive to match on the Auction House. I'll write up an entry on notable 10-20 quests in the Ghostlands later; along with Tranquillien rep, there are some "regular" quests with decent rewards for hunters, including a very nice bow.

*The quest chain "The Hunt Begins" in Red Cloud Mesa doesn't provide anything but the most basic of level 1-5 gear, but it's fun and gets you in that hunter mood.

Starting Area: Tirisfal Glades
Unsurprisingly, there aren't any level 1-10 hunter-friendly quests in this zone, since the Forsaken cannot be hunters. Later levels offer a bit more.
