WoW Druid

As a young Tauren Druid your first step to getting your Bear From is to pick up the quest “Heeding the Call.” This is going to be your first big trip as you’ll be sent off to Thunder Bluff then Moonglade. It’s not a big run though as you’ll get a spell that will teleport you there in the blink of an eye. Be sure to set your Hearthstone at the Inn in Thunder Bluff before you port! (you’ll see what I mean)

Moonglade is an uncontested area just for Druids and you’ll find yourself returning here pretty often in the future. You will see Night Elf Druids, both NPCs and players, here however don’t worry about it. Fighting is not looked kindly upon in Moonglade. This is a relatively small zone with no ore or herbs to pick, no animals to fight, no dungeons or battlegrounds. There is a Druid Trainer however which is handy. Think of it like a chill out zone just for Druids. While you’re here make sure you /love the bunnies, deer and squirrels for “For all the squirrels I’ve loved before” achievement (which I find just hysterical). There are two things to do here beyond the Tauren Druid Bear Form quest that I’d like you to do that we’ll talk about it a second. First off you’ll get a quests when you arrive to go talk with the Great Bear Spirit. Take a run to the Northwest of the quest giver and you’ll find a big bear just hanging out. Have a quick talk with him and then, before you go back to turn the quest in, do two things.

First run into the little town Nighthaven and find the flight path there. Next go South and Sotuheast (feel free to jump off the cliff into the lake and swim) to find another flight path in the Southeast corner. There is an Alliance only FP by one of the two little ponds down there so if you find that one just keep going West. Flight paths are really good things to know about and remember you’ll keep that teleport spell. In your later levels no matter where you are you can always port to Moonglade and catch a flight path. It will come in handy! Once you’ve got it use the Teleport: Moonglade spell again to teleport back to the quest giver (this saves you the run back). All set? Now Hearth back to Thunder Bluff for the remainder of the quest chain.

You will be asked to head out to sprinkle some dust on some rock just inside The Barrens. While this may sound like a tear jerking sentimental action of some sort it’s actually a test. A Moonkin named Lunaclaw will appear out of no where and attempt to kill you. Nice, right? Beat the crap out of Luna Claw, get the flight path right there at the little camp

You’ll then be sent on to the big city on the hill, Thunder Bluff! Ask a guard where the Druid Trainer is, over on the Elder Rise, and before you know it you’ll have Bear Form. Woot! (I’ve got five gold the first thing you do is /dance) Have fun!
