The Barrens

40 items in The Barrens are worth a druid's detour, which makes it one of the fuller stops in the 12–24 band.

The briefing

Only the shaman and paladin take more out of The Barrens.

Only the shaman and paladin take more out of The Barrens.10 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 30 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.Berylline Pads is the pick of the board, paid out by The Crone of the Kraul at level 34.

Curing the Sick starts here at level 14, and hands a druid Veildust Medicine Bag for it.3 dungeons open off the zone: Wailing Caverns at 10, Razorfen Kraul at 15 and Razorfen Downs at 25.The 38 items behind those doors are filed under the dungeon lens rather than on this page.The Horde board here runs to 77 quests against the Alliance's 18, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 337 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Kalimdor and there is nothing to chase.That is enough to clear the zone out rather than pass through it.

274 world drops could surface for a level 34 druid — anywhere at all, so there’s nothing to chase here.

Something in here is wrong.

Say what it is. It goes straight to a person.
