RaceNight ElfA good wand does more for the early Priest than another expensive spell rank. We'll take this Night Elf through Teldrassil, Darkshore, western Ashenvale, and Mathystra, then Redridge, Duskwood, and the Wetlands. Class stops cover Garments of the Moon at 5, Starshards at 10, and Elune's Grace before sailing at 20. Mana, cloth upgrades, and party healing are covered through 30.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Fade temporarily reduces your threat.Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Main route: Shadowglen → Dolanaar → Darnassus → Darkshore → western Ashenvale → Mathystra → Darnassus at 20 → direct boat to Stormwind → Redridge → Duskwood → Wetlands → final Duskwood turn-ins. Visit Darnassus at 20 for your Priest racial before changing continents.
Four builds for 10-30 using the tree from October 15
You earn 21 points over 10-30. I'd use Shadow: wand and Spirit for solo questing. Already have a good wand at 10? Spend two points in 
Wand Specialization before the five in 
Spirit Tap. Both orders meet at 17. Train through Laurna Morninglight in Dolanaar or Priestess Alathea in Darnassus. The builds use the post-October 15 Forever trees.
Spirit Tap 5/5 doubles Spirit for 15 seconds when you land the killing blow. Take Wand Specialization 2/2 for 25% more wand damage, then 
Improved Shadow Word: Pain to keep Pain ticking longer.
Mind Flay arrives at 22 to slow runners. With 
Improved Mind Flay at 23-24, each tick grows by 10/20% over the one before it. Take 
Vampiric Embrace at 30. Its current tooltip requires that level.Vampiric Embrace. The wand points delay 
Shadowform to 42. To get it at 40, reset into 31 Shadow points. Keep the launch starting cost of 1 gold aside before 40 if that's your plan.

Mental Strength for Intellect before 
Improved Power Word: Shield for stronger shields. The shield talent moved to the third row, so the Intellect points fill the second row and open the way.Mind Flay here: finish runners off with

Soul Warding at 26. 
Penance comes at 30, letting you channel into an ally to heal or an enemy to deal damage.Spirit Tap means more water before Meditation is ready. I'd choose this for regular group healing.

Blackout adds a chance for Shadow spells to stun. 
Improved Psychic Scream brings Fear back sooner. You get Mind Flay at 24 without its damage upgrade, but keep the useful slow.
Shadowmeld needs you to stay still, so don't expect it to save you from every incoming hit. Check where enemies can flee before using Psychic Scream.Vampiric Embrace at 30. Two points in Discipline delay Shadowform until 42 without a respec.Spirit Tap 5/5Wand Specialization 2/2

Combat and training by level
Devouring Plague and Fear Ward, plus Divine Spirit from 30, are available to Priests of every race. After October 15, Devouring Plague has a 24-second cooldown. A wand requires about half a second standing still before firing.On an ordinary mob, apply Shadow Word: Pain and finish with the wand (
Shoot). For a tougher pull, use Mind Blast early and shield before contact. Why cast the spells together? Full Spirit regeneration comes back 5 seconds after spending mana, and wand shots let that timer run. Before your first wand, start with Smite from range. The mace can finish a weak mob if doing so won't cost too much health.

Smite; add Shadow Word: Pain from 4. Do not apply a long DoT to an almost dead enemy. Your starter mace can finish off a weakened mob.Shoot. Wait five seconds after your last mana expenditure. Free wand shots do not restart that delay.Heal and later ranks suit planned healing. Flash Heal quickly saves an ally, but frequent use drains mana fast.Renew tick when the target needs its healing. Refreshing it on someone who's nearly full just wastes mana. Keep an eye on the whole party, because the next urgent heal may be for someone behind you.Resurrection from 10 revives an ally out of combat. Recover health and mana before the next pull. Regular resurrection needs no reagents.Psychic Scream from 14 buys time to retreat and heal, but a fleeing mob can pull another pack. Use it in open ground. In a mine, check nearby packs first.Fade temporarily lowers threat. When healing a group, move toward the tank. Solo, this button does not end combat.Elune's Grace at 20 reduces the chance that melee and ranged attacks hit you by 50% for 15 seconds or until three attacks miss. Five-minute cooldown. It does not remove stuns or protect against every spell.Power Word: Fortitude. Reward: cloth Moon Robes of Elune.Starshards. One referral is enough. There's no need to collect versions from other capitals.Elune's Grace. The Human heal, Dwarf prayer, and Undead sacrifice aren't available to a Night Elf.Shadowmeld requires standing still. In the current beta, it works in combat with a 2-minute cooldown, or 10 seconds out of combat. Moving breaks the effect.
Quickness: +1% dodge and +2% movement speed. Since October 15, the speed bonus stacks with other movement effects.Elune's Light adds +10% attack and spell crit for 15 seconds, on a three-minute cooldown. Use it when a hard pull needs damage or healing. I'd spend it to save an ally before waiting for an ideal burst window.
Wisp Spirit: your spirit moves faster after death. It speeds up the corpse run; it does not make dying in combat free transport.Starshards and Elune's Grace are separate Priest racial abilities. They do not replace your general racials Shadowmeld and Elune's Light. Put useful buttons on your bars.Priests wear only cloth. In the Forever client, Night Elf Priests start with 
Worn Mace and know One-Handed Maces and Wands. Train Staves and Daggers separately with Ilyenia Moonfire in Darnassus. Swords, Axes, Two-Handed Maces, Bows, Shields and Leather are unavailable.
| Level | Wand | When to Upgrade |

| 13 | Greater Magic Wand | 17.5 DPS. Crafted; a good benchmark until the Wetlands. |
| 16-20 | Moonstone Wand | The Blackwood Corrupted[18]: 13.61 DPS, +2 Intellect. Upgrades Lesser Magic Wand, but not Greater Magic Wand. |
| 20 | Dusk Wand | Ardwyn Cailen in Stormwind or Harick Boulderdrum in Ironforge: 17.7 DPS, ≈ 58. A fallback listed in vendor data. |

| 29-30 | Consecrated Wand | Worgen in the Woods[31]: 24.17 DPS, +2 Intellect/+2 Spirit. After the previous wand, choose for stats. |
| 29 | Combustible Wand | Ardwyn Cailen / Harick Boulderdrum : 25.9 DPS, ≈ 144. Optional if you already have a good quest reward. |
| Where | Item | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| The Balance of Nature[2] / The Woodland Protector[3] | Stemleaf Bracers / Viny Gloves | Cloth bracers and gloves instead of unusable leather. |
| Garments of the Moon[4] | Moon Robes of Elune | Class robe with +1 Spirit. Sleeping Robes from Druid of the Claw[10] instead gives +1 Stamina. |

| The Fragments Within[14] | Oakthrush Staff | Staff, +2 Stamina/+2 Intellect/+6 Spell Power. Earned in Darkshore. |
| Escape Through Stealth[20] / Deep Ocean, Vast Sea[17] |  Scarab Trousers / Welldrip Gloves | Cloth pants and gloves; upgrade your weaker slot. |
| Return the Statuette[25] | Icicle Rod | A staff: +4 Intellect/+18 general Spell Power. Its Frost specialization usually does not help Priests. |
| What Comes Around...[25] | Hardened Root Staff | Group Stockade run: +9 Spirit/+20 Spell Power. The dungeon is optional. |
| Crime and Punishment[26] / Bride of the Embalmer[30] | Town Clerk's Mittens / Mantle of Honor | Cloth gloves from the Stockade and shoulders from the group Eliza quest. |

Flash Heal is a useful urgent save, but expensive to cast repeatedly.Fade and move toward the tank. Running down an uncleared corridor adds another problem.

From 20, Fear Ward protects against Fear, regardless of race.Devouring Plague is available to every race from 20, with a 24-second cooldown after October 15. Fear Ward is no longer restricted to Dwarves either.Divine Spirit is baseline from 30. Shadowform requires 31 points in Shadow and is outside the 1-30 range.Wand Specialization has two ranks and grants up to 25% wand damage.
