## Steps

The steps as the guide window shows them, in order. Goals marked with a race or class are only for that race or class; a step marked with a condition applies only while it holds.

### 1. Skyborne: the recipes now (Skyborne only)

Where: 13.9, 63.3 on the Alterac Mountains map.

Alliance Skyborne start Friendly with the Kirin Tor, and their arrival quests The Magical City of Dalaran and Exploring the Alliance pay 100 more each, so Archmage Alvareaux sells you the Azure recipes at once (10g each, they need skill 175). He stands upstairs in the building with the Kirin Tor banners in Dalaran, past the Sky Enclave. Buy the ones for your profession.

### 2. An Alarming Request

Emissary Jacques of the Kirin Tor waits in Southshore. He sends you to Archmage Modera's image by the shore of Lordamere Lake, outside Dalaran's walls. The Kirin Tor quests start at level 24 to 30 and pay full reputation while they are at most 5 levels below you; in Classic a quest 6+ levels below you pays less (a fifth at 60).

- Reach level **30**
- Accept **An Alarming Request** from Emissary Jacques

### 3. Archmage Modera's image

Where: 7.7, 58.8 on the Alterac Mountains map.

### 4. The City of Dalaran

Where: 8.5, 59.3 on the Alterac Mountains map.

The City of Dalaran is a dungeon for levels 28 to 33: go in through the sewers with the key Modera gave you. The arcane elementals throughout the city count for Starving Arcane. The Shade of the Archmage, the last boss, waits in the Purple Parlor above the Violet Citadel (a portal by Archmage Modera in the Citadel takes you up) and drops the Arcane Mote. Beta players saw every kill in the dungeon pay Kirin Tor reputation, the bosses the most. Group of five advised below level 35.

- Kill **Seeking Remnant** ×8 for Starving Arcane
- Kill **Saturated Remnant** ×8 for Starving Arcane
- Kill **Mana Echo** ×8 for Starving Arcane

### 7. Past Due

Where: 10.7, 64.1 on the Alterac Mountains map.

Magus Olvek in Dalaran wants a book back from Arcanist Doan, the last boss of the Scarlet Monastery's Library (levels 33 to 41), in Tirisfal Glades.

- Reach level **33**
- Accept **Past Due** from Magus Olvek

### 8. Arcanist Doan

The Scarlet Monastery stands in the north-east of Tirisfal Glades; Doan waits at the end of the Library wing. Group of five advised below level 40.

### 10. City of Dalaran runs to Friendly

The quests leave a non-Skyborne at about 320 of the 3,000 Friendly needs. The rest comes from kills in the City of Dalaran dungeon: run it until Friendly. How much each kill pays is not in the game's data; the bosses pay the most. At 60 you clear it alone.

- Reach Friendly with **Kirin Tor**

### 11. Archmage Alvareaux: the Azure recipes

Where: 13.9, 63.3 on the Alterac Mountains map.
