Horde Zangarmarsh Guide Part 1
Level 62

Time to head off to Zangarmarsh! Abandon all of your Hellfire Peninsula quests (except Report to Zurai).

== ZONE NOTE == Whenever you kill a Sporebat in this zone and you stand in melee range of it, you get a nice +30 to all stats buff for 5 minutes. Kill a Sporebat every so often to keep the buff on you as often as you can. Also, you will need 6 Fertile Spores at the end which can be found off Sporebats, so keep any you find and don't sell them.

  1. Head west out of Hellfire Penninsula to the Cenarion Refuge.
    Set your Hearthstone to Cenarion Refuge.


    Turn in The Cenarion Expedition and pick up all the quests in town (note: don't go up the tower to Warden Hamoot until you get the quest "Warden Hamoot" - if you get the quests from Warden Hamoot first, you cannot get the quest Warden Hamoot):

    • The Umbrafen Tribe
    • The Dying Balance
    • Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake
    • Plants of Zangarmarsh
    • Leader of the Bloodscale (Group)
    • Leader of the Darkcrest (Group)
    • Warden Hamoot and turn it in to get the follow-up A Warm Welcome.

  2. Ride northeast to Swamprat Post. Turn in Report to Zurai and get all the quests in town:

    • No More Mushrooms!
    • Menacing Marshfangs
    • News From Zangarmarsh
    • Report to Shadow Hunter Denjai
    • There's No Explanation For Fashion
    • Thick Hydra Scales

  3. Head southwest and continue along the coast of the Umbrafen Lake. Kill 12 Mire Hydra as you go around the lake and gather up 12 Thick Hydra Scales. There are hydra on all sides of the lake, keep killing them around the lake in steps 4 and 5.

  4. Clear a path through the naga (Note: you do not have to collect enough Naga Claws to complete A Warm Welcome, many naga will die in the future) to the Umbrafen Lake Steam Pump to finish investigating Umbrafen Lake.

  5. Dive into the lake and kill Umbrafen Eels until done collecting 8 Eel Filet.

  6. Head east out of the lake and head to Boglash and kill it. Though elite, he is soloable.

  7. Head south to Umbrafen Village and kill 6 Umbrafen Oracle, 8 Umbrafen Seer, and 6 Umbrafen Witchdoctor on your way south through the villages.

    Kataru is in the southeast area of the village - enter the large building and kill him on the top floor.

  8. Head northwest to Kayra Longmane, a trapped tauren. Accept the escort quest Escape from Umbrafen. Follow and protect her as she heads through the Umbrafen Village.

  9. Return to the Cenarion Refuge and turn in all your quests. Pick up the new ones:

    • The Dying Balance and get the quests Watcher Leesa'oh and What's Wrong at Cenarion Thicket?
    • The Umbrafen Tribe and get the follow-up A Damp, Dark Place
    • Escape from Umbrafen
    • Plants of Zangarmarsh and turn in the extra Unidentified Plant Parts you have as well. Get the quests Saving the Sporeloks and Safeguarding the Watchers.
    • Disturbance at Umbrafen Lake and get the follow-up As the Crow Flies.

      For As the Crow Flies, stand next to Ysiel Windsinger and use your Stormcrow Amulet to turn into a crow and observe the various naga camps. When done, turn in the quest and get the follow-up Balance Must be Preserved.

  10. Ride northeast to Swamprat Post.


  1. At Swamprat Post, turn in your quests:

    • No More Mushrooms! and get the follow-up A Job Undone
    • Thick Hydra Scales and get the follow-up Searching for Scout Jyoba

  2. Ride northwest to Scout Jyoba. Turn in Searching for Scout Jyoba and get the follow-up Jyoba's Reports.

    • Around the area, kill Withered Giants until you find both Scout Jyoba's Report and a Withered Basidium, which starts the quest Withered Basidium. Don't sell any of the Bog Lord Tendrils you get during this time, you'll need them later.

  3. Ride southwest and search for Sporewing. Kill it.

  4. Head southwest and kill 10 Marshfang Rippers.

  5. Ride northwest and clear your way through the naga to the Serpent Lake Pump and use the Ironvine Seeds. A Steam Pump Overseer will spawn and attack each time you do this in the future pumps - kill it to get the likely drop of the Drain Schematics, which starts the quest Drain Schematics.

    Also, in the camp Rajis Fyashe, if you have a partner, kill him (Extremely difficult to solo for most classes. Simply skip without a partner.)

  6. Ride southeast and clear your way through the naga to the Lagoon Steam Pump and use the Ironvine Seeds.

    Also, in the camp Rajah Haghazed, if you have a partner, kill him (Extremely difficult to solo for most classes. Simply skip without a partner.)

  7. Ride southeast and clear your way through the naga to the Umbrafen Lake Steam Pump and use the Ironvine Seeds. Kill the Steam Pump Overseer. If you have not yet picked up the Drain Schematics quest from a random drop, then keep using the seeds and spawning overseers and killing them until you get one.

  8. Ride southeast to Funggor Cavern and enter the cave, clearing all the fungal giants on the way. Clear your way to the back of the cave for Ikeyen's Belongings and on the bottom of the cave, kill Lord Klaq.

    As you exit the cave, finish killing 10 Marsh Dredger and 10 Marsh Lurker.

    • A Damp, Dark Place
    • Safeguarding the Watchers
    • Saving the Sporeloks
