Starting zone

You start in the snowy valley of Dun Morogh; the nearby capital is Ironforge, the Alliance's largest hub with a tram to Stormwind.

What matters on x5

Frost resistance and Stoneform make Dwarf handy against mages and in dungeons full of poisons and bleeds. For a Hunter, use guns to benefit from the racial bonus. See the 1–60 leveling guide for a route and the all classes page for an overview.
