One of the common complaints I see about vanilla questing is that they are forced to grind at some point. So far I’ve only needed to grind for 2-3 hours following this guide to the tee. I hope this helps newer players struggling with finding quest routes in classic. I suggest giving it a shot for your next alt and see if you like it. The guide is completely free on youtube.

Pros:
-Minimal to no grinding whatsoever so far which can be replaced with one or two dungeon runs for exp.
-Very clearly detailed with reasoning for pathing and travel
-Uses POV of leveling a Warrior (notorious for being difficult to level)
-Takes account for both gathering professions
Cons:
-Obviously does not work for horde side
-More streamlined for Human starting zones but you can definitely finesse pre-10 quests
-Horde dominated servers(mine) and campers become a problem when you are trying to hit a specific quest. You can either group up, fight/skin nearby mobs, run a dungeon. STV L 32 section was the most difficult due to amount of horde.
-Related to WPVP but the guide is based on a launch of the server so you may be more contested now if you are just starting out.
Once I hit 60 I will make edits to what I think of this guide.
