RaceNight ElfA pet at 10 changes how you handle the rest of Teldrassil. This Night Elf Hunter route continues through Darkshore, then crosses to Redridge, Duskwood, and the Wetlands by 30. We'll keep your bow, arrows, pet food, and pet skills up to date. The main path is solo, with group chapters available when you want them.
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: Teldrassil → Darkshore → direct boat to Stormwind → Redridge → Duskwood → Ironforge and Loch Modan → Wetlands → finish Duskwood at 30. Group chapters are marked optional and are not needed to complete the main chains.
Collect quest items after accepting their quest. Ordinary meat, cloth and profession materials can be saved beforehand. Before a long loop, restock arrows, pet food and water, and leave bag space for loot.
Builds for 10-30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
Start spending talents at 10 and you'll have 21 points at 30. I'd let Beast Mastery do the heavy lifting on a first run. The pet holds the target while you get room to shoot. The other builds change how you fight, while the route stays the same. Jocaste in Darnassus and Einris Brightspear in Stormwind handle respecs, starting at 1 gold at launch. These orders use the tree after Blizzard's November 2 changes.
Summon Hawk talent.
Deadly Aspects speeds up Auto Shot by 30% from time to time while Aspect of the Hawk is on. The new 
Focused Fire adds +2% damage for you and your pet. 
Pathfinding at 29-30 (it moved to row 3 on November 2) boosts Aspect of the Cheetah: 36% speed instead of 30%, so the whole route to 40 goes faster. 
Unleashed Fury gives +15% pet damage, the main leveling talent.Summon Hawk joins your pet. The hawk attacks the target for 18 seconds, and you can keep two up. Summon Hawk and 
Arcane Shot share a cooldown, so you can't use them independently. 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.

Lethal Attacks adds +5% crit, which also benefits the pet through Forever's full crit inheritance. 
Careful Aim converts Intellect into attack power. With 
Rapid Killing, the next shot after a kill hits 20% harder. Keep 
Efficiency in the plan for cheaper shots. Marksmanship can drain your mana quickly.
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 spent and gives +20% damage without one, but you'll want a regular tank for that. Beta players have found the talent underwhelming.

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 covers beasts, 
Track Humanoids covers humanoids, and 
Track Undead covers undead from 18. The damage bonus needs the right tracking active.Unleashed Fury and the hawks don't fit into this build.

|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | Worn Shortbow, Worn Dagger, Light Quiver; Hornwood Recurve Bow from 3 | Jeena Featherbow in Dolanaar: Hornwood Recurve Bow, ≈ 3, 2.38 DPS. Your starting quiver already grants +10% attack speed. |
