RaceDwarfGuns are the easy part. Keeping a wolf fed and properly trained takes a little planning. We'll finish Grif's three trials at 10, complete the Ironforge training, and tame a permanent pet before heading beyond Dun Morogh and Loch Modan. The route covers bullets, pet skills, and gear through 30, with optional dungeon branches along the way.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Beast Lore.Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Main route: Coldridge Valley → Kharanos and Dun Morogh → Ironforge and Loch Modan → Stormwind → Westfall → Redridge → Duskwood → Wetlands → Stormwind at 30. Optional sections are independent; the main chains also finish without them.
Builds for 10-30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
You earn a point each level from 10, reaching 21 at 30. I'd start with Beast Mastery and let the pet hold mobs while you shoot. These four orders use the Forever tree after Blizzard's November 2 changes. If you want to change, visit Grif Wildheart in Kharanos, Olmin Burningbeard in Ironforge, or Einris Brightspear in Stormwind. Respecs start at 1 gold at launch. That's worth keeping in mind before trying several builds at low level.
Summon Hawk talent joins at 25.
Unleashed Fury matters most: +15% pet damage. With 
Aspect of the Hawk active, Deadly Aspects can proc 30% faster Auto Shots. The new 
Focused Fire adds +2% damage for both of you. For travel, take 
Pathfinding at 29-30 (it moved to row 3 on November 2): Aspect of the Cheetah gives 36% speed instead of 30%. That saves a lot of walking before your mount at 40.Summon Hawk summons a hawk that dives at the target and attacks for 18 seconds. You can have two up, but Summon Hawk shares a cooldown with 
Arcane Shot, so you can't press them separately. Then 
Ferocity 3/5 at 26-28 gives your pet and hawks more crit. After 30, finish it to 5/5: it opens 
Frenzy at 35.
Improved Revive Pet at 29-30 instead of Pathfinding. It suits careful play and Hardcore. At 30, instead of the second point of Pathfinding, you can take 
Spirit Bond if you often eat between fights: rank 1 restores 1% health to you and your pet every 10 seconds. Short on mana? There's 
Bestial Discipline.
Mend Pet in time.
Deadly Aspects 5/5
Focused Fire 2/2
Endurance Training 3/5
Unleashed Fury 5/5
Summon Hawk 1/1
Ferocity 3/5
Pathfinding 2/2
Lethal Attacks gives +5% crit, and your pet inherits your full crit chance in Forever. 
Careful Aim adds attack power from Intellect. After a kill, 
Rapid Killing makes the next shot hit 20% harder, giving you a stronger start on the next mob. Take 
Efficiency to ease the mana cost. That's usually what limits this build.
Trueshot Aura gives +20 ranged attack power to you and your group since November 2. 
Mortal Shots boosts ranged crits. At 30, take 
Rapid Recuperation, and 
Serpent Sting and Rapid Killing return mana in combat.
Lone Wolf opens at 20 with 11 points in the tree. It gives +20% damage without a pet. I'd save it for a regular group with a reliable tank. Solo petless leveling is rough, and beta players haven't been enthusiastic about the talent.

Improved Tracking adds +5% damage of all kinds against the creature type you track. Without matching tracking there's no bonus. 
Endurance Training makes your pet 15% tougher, and 
Survivalist adds +10% health. At 22-23, 
Deflection 2/5 adds parry chance: Pathfinding moved to row 3 on November 2 and no longer fits here. At 30 you get 
Deterrence: 10 seconds of dodge and parry to survive a hard fight.
Track Beasts for beasts and 
Track Humanoids for humanoids. 
Track Undead adds undead tracking at 18.Unleashed Fury and the hawks don't fit into this build.

Deterrence 1/1Improved Tracking adds +5% damage to tracked targets. 
Savage Strikes and the new 
Predator's Edge support melee crits. Take Deterrence at 23, then 
Counterattack at 25 for a strike and root after parrying. At 30, 
Strider Kick adds a weapon strike and +30% speed for 3 seconds.
Aspect of the Beast at 30 and a good two-hander, beta players report having few useful melee buttons. Shooting still does more damage early. Train the right weapon skill before equipping an upgrade. The optional Nek'rosh branch has one two-handed sword reward.Improved Tracking 5/5

If an enemy is already in melee, Raptor Strike and finishing it off are often safer than running into another camp.Concussive Shot helps create distance; from 12, Wing Clip applies a melee slow. Do not retreat blindly into a patrol.Growl on autocast while solo. Shooting immediately is an easy way to end up tanking yourself.Aspect of the Hawk for ranged combat. Aspect of the Monkey is more useful when you actually have to take the hits yourself.Mend Pet while the pet still has enough health to survive the channel. It uses your mana. If the pull is too large, call the pet back and retreat before it dies.Hunter's Mark and Serpent Sting according to fight length. Do not spend all your mana on a mob that needs one more Auto Shot.Immolation Trap goes at your feet for extra damage. From 20, Freezing Trap takes an extra target out of the fight. Forever allows traps in combat.Aspect of the Cheetah speeds up travel from 20. Switch out before taking a hit, because getting dazed in the middle of a camp costs much more time than the aspect saves.Feign Death is an emergency option. Account for resists and your pet's position; it is not a guaranteed escape from every fight.Multi-Shot away from CC targets too.

Stoneform removes bleeds, poison and disease, grants immunity to them for 8 seconds and reduces physical damage taken by 10%; 3-minute cooldown. Forever uses damage reduction instead of the old +10% armor.
Big Game Hunter grants +5% damage against beasts. Useful in Dun Morogh and on Loch Modan hunting circuits, but it does not make a dangerous orange fight safe.
Find Treasure helps spot treasure. Keep it active outdoors, but do not run through guards for a minimap icon.Mining for Dummies manual from Coldridge Valley Mail Delivery[4]. Buy Skinning Knife and Mining Pick from Golorn Frostbeard in Kharanos or Burbik Gearspanner in the capital. These fill both primary slots; replace one to take Engineering.
Expert First Aid - Under Wraps from Deneb Walker in Stromgarde. The book raises the skill cap. A dangerous separate trip before 30 is optional; buying from players is another option.The main route works without a group. Each optional dungeon chapter handles its own quests, so you don't need a lucky drop from another instance first. Before entering, buy ammo, pet food, and water, then set the pet up to cooperate with the tank.
| Chapter | What you get | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| The Hall of Thanes 16-18 | Gun Calibrated Blunderbuss, leather Dusty Belt. | Pick up quests before entering. You already know Guns; bring bullets and disable Growl with a tank. |
| Deadmines 20-22 | Leather Tunic of Westfall. Boss drops are not guaranteed in one run. | Deliveries and escort first. Keep the supplied tool until the hidden forge. |
| Redridge 24-26 | Leather Bone-studded Leather and Disjointed Shoes. | Group up for the keep and escort. Do not expect your pet to tank an elite pack alone. |
| Excavation 28-30 | XP and story; no direct ranged weapon reward upgrade is promised. | Separate preparation. The two-handed mace is unavailable. |
| Stockade 28-30 | Leather Belt of Vindication; compare other rewards with your current slots. | Dun Modr and city errands. The Deadmines letter is not required. |
| Nek'rosh and Duskwood finale 29-30 | Ancient War Sword for melee; leather shoulders Darkshire Shoulderguards. | Nek'rosh and Eliza/Stalvan are independent. Stalvan is 35; the quest's minimum level does not make the fight safe. |
Daggerfang's Daggerfang offers useful Agility; Calibrated Blunderbuss from the Hall of Thanes is a strong group gun reward. Old Classic reward tables do not include these items.Aimed Shot is trained from 20 rather than requiring its old Classic talent. Traps work in combat. Since November 2, all traps share one 30-second cooldown, so you can no longer drop a fire trap and a frost trap back to back.Beast Lore tooltip. Old Era tables may point to the wrong skill teacher.Mechanic changes: official beta notes. Final Dwarf training quest: Training the Beast.
Concussive Shot and Wing Clip help create distance; Freezing Trap joins at 20. Stoneform removes poison, disease and bleeds, but not every form of control or fear.Feign Death from 30 does not guarantee safety from players or stop your pet fighting. Control the pet and choose a clear escape route before running.Dismiss Pet sends it away temporarily. Abandoning through its portrait menu is a different action.
