The briefing

No class takes more out of Wetlands than a paladin.

Read the full briefingClose the briefingwhat drops it, and how often · both quest boards · where a paladin ranks

No class takes more out of Wetlands than a paladin.18 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 14 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.Gold Lion Shield is the pick of the board, paid out by A Grim Task at level 34.

The Alliance board here runs to 35 quests against the Horde's 0, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 492 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Eastern Kingdoms and there is nothing to chase.That is enough to clear the zone out rather than pass through it.

318 world drops could surface for a level 32 paladin — 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.
