RaceUndeadA step-by-step route for an Undead Paladin from 1 to 30 in WoW Forever. This is a brand-new combo: Forsaken paladins have their own order at Bandarion Keep and their own class quest chain - Holy Light at level 2, a two-handed mace and a shield at 11, Redemption at 12, and by 30 a two-handed sword of your own, Wolfsbane. Here you'll find where to go at every level, what order to do the class quests in so you don't cross Tirisfal more often than you need to, which weapons to take and how to stop running out of mana.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Holy Light goes to them. Both have a Forever version.
Righteous Fury)? Install a threat meter: ThreatClassic2 (the “forever” version) or Details! from the “Optional” card. The built-in damage meter doesn't show threat, and the indicators above mobs change color too late.Builds for 10–30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
Your first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level: by 30 you have 21 points. Not sure what to pick? Go “Retribution: Two-Hander” - it needs the least drinking and downtime when you play solo. You can reset your talents at a paladin trainer in a capital: Garen Largo in Undercity or Alodan the Hopeful in Thunder Bluff. Hover a talent for its Wowhead tooltip; the button at the bottom opens the build in the Wowhead calculator with the same order.
Benediction at 10–14 makes seals, Judgement, 
Holy Strike and blessings 10% cheaper: you drink less from the very first point. 
Improved Judgement - Judgement every 8 seconds. 
Sanctified Judgement at 20–22 returns 60% of a seal's cost with every Judgement - your seal and Judgement cycle barely costs any mana.
Seal of Command at 23 - for a slow two-hander (speed 3.0 and up). 
Pursuit of Justice at 24–25 - +15% run speed: a paladin has no other speed boosts. 
Sacred Arbiter at 26: Holy Strike hits 20% harder and refreshes your Judgements on the target. At 30 - 
Vengeance: after a crit your damage goes up, stacking up to three times.
Improved Seals.Pursuit of Justice at 20–21 and Sanctified Judgement at 22–24. If you hit with a fast weapon (speed under 3.0), you don't need Seal of Command: put that point into 
Holy Conduit instead.
Twist of Light with your 31st point, no talent reset needed.

Redoubt raises your block chance after you get hit. 
Shield Specialization at 20–22 - your shield absorbs 30% more, and every block gives 4% mana (no more than once every 3 seconds). 
Improved Seal of Fury at 23 - mana when the absorb from your seal is used up (it comes from 
Seal of Fury). 
Swift Judgement at 25 resets the Judgement cooldown - a lifesaver when a mob gets loose. At 30 -

An undead paladin gets Redemption only from this chain: the trainer doesn't have rank 1.

Galak centaurs - Pacify the Centaur[25]; the Alien Egg - Alien Egg[26]. Dorn Plainstalker : accept !Test of Faith[26], jump off his platform (Test of Faith[26]) and turn in ?Test of Faith[26] - the start of the trials that lead to the Scarlet Monastery.

Level 30 - fly from Freewind Post to Thunder Bluff, Alodan the Hopeful: Holy Light (rank 5) and Lay on Hands (rank 2) - 110 each; Consecration (rank 2) - 2, a must. If you took Seal of Command, also Seal of Command (rank 2) for 550.
Seal of Light, 
Divine Intervention and Devotion Aura (rank 4) can wait: that's another 3.3 gold. In the main build, your level 30 talent point goes into Vengeance.
What's next (30+): the class blade - see the “Wolfsbane” section below; then the rest of Thousand Needles, the Shimmering Flats, Hillsbrad and Arathi, “Excavation Site: Wetlands” and the Scarlet Monastery. That will be the next part of the guide.
The Forsaken paladin's class two-hander · with a group · through Alliance lands
The class line ends with Wolfsbane, a two-handed sword for paladins only. It has 25.6 DPS, +9 Stamina and +10 Intellect, and its proc deals 39–59 damage - three times as much against wolves and worgen. You need A Moon-Kissed Blade[25] in your log and three materials: Enchanted Silver Ingot from Shadowfang Keep (step), Purified Kor Gem from Seeking the Kor Gem[25] (step) and Whitestone Oak Lumber from the Deadmines. The Deadmines are in Westfall, in Alliance lands: it's a long trip, so put a group together in advance.
Moonsilver Blade or Wolfsbane. A new skill starts at 1: raise it before you go after the quest elite (step).Thunder Bluff → fly to Orgrimmar. The zeppelin tower outside the gates : Snurk Bucksquick sends you to Grom'gol (Stranglethorn Vale) - that's the one you want; Frezza goes to Undercity, not this one.
From Grom'gol, go north on foot: follow the road through Stranglethorn Vale into Duskwood, then head west into Westfall. The Deadmines entrance is in the mine of Moonbrook village .
These are Alliance lands: on PvP realms your flag turns on by itself, and the guards of Alliance towns will attack you. Give them a wide berth.
The Deadmines with a group: the Goblin Woodcarvers stand in the hall with Sneed and his shredder - Whitestone Oak Lumber for A Moon-Kissed Blade[25].
The lumber only drops while A Moon-Kissed Blade[25] is in your log. The Deadmines elites are level 17–20: at 30, two or three of you can reach that hall without trouble (our estimate).
Back to Grom'gol. Two zeppelins leave from the tower: Squibby Overspeck sends you to Undercity - that's the one you want; Nez'raz goes to Orgrimmar, not this one. In Undercity, Archibald : learn Two-Handed Swords. Michael Garrett: fly to the Sepulcher.
Not sure? Talk to the zeppelin master: he'll tell you where his zeppelin goes.
The Sepulcher, Trevan Rol: turn in ?A Moon-Kissed Blade[25], accept !An Underrated Talent[25]. Karos Razok: fly to Tarren Mill.
Tarren Mill, Ott : turn in ?An Underrated Talent[25], accept !Ott's Masterwork[25], watch him forge the blade (Ott's Masterwork[25]), turn in ?Ott's Masterwork[25] and accept !The Moonsilver Blade[25]. Zarise: fly to the Sepulcher.
The Sepulcher: Trevan Rol - turn in ?The Moonsilver Blade[25], get Moonsilver Blade; Lumina Windsinger - accept !Old Fire-Eye[26].
Equip the blade right away: according to Wowhead comments, the fight only counts if Moonsilver Blade is in your hands. You've only just learned Two-Handed Swords, and as in Classic the skill starts at 1: the blade misses a lot and procs less often. Before the fight, raise the skill to at least 100 out of 150 - with the blade equipped, on mobs level 22 or higher: gray mobs don't raise it. At level 30 almost everything in Silverpine is gray, so it's easier to fly to Tarren Mill and fight the Syndicate at Durnholde Keep (step).
Southern Silverpine, by the Greymane Wall : Old Fire-Eye (level 25 elite) - Old Fire-Eye[26].
According to Wowhead comments, Old Fire-Eye stands under a purple shield, and the Moonsilver Blade proc can break it. With sword skill 100+, a level 30 paladin can solo him: Seal of the Crusader, then Judgement, then Seal of Command if you level as “Retribution: Two-Hander” (the blade is slow, 3.4 speed), or Seal of Righteousness in the other builds; Holy Strike on cooldown.
The Sepulcher, Lumina Windsinger: turn in ?Old Fire-Eye[26] - Wolfsbane. Hearthstone → Freewind Post: 30+ quests from there.
Quests offered far from the entrance, and the paladin in a group
Redemption since 12 - you're the one who brings back the fallen. Skipped “A Lesson in Divinity”? Do it first (step), then the dungeons.Holy Light of the right rank, from 20 - Flash of Light (cheaper but weaker), from 22 - Concentration Aura. Heal the tank early, not at the last few percent: Holy Light takes 2.5 seconds to cast.Salvaged Wooden Tower Shield (the reward for Making Repairs[11]) and Seal of Fury (from 10): with a shield the seal gives an absorb, and its Judgement taunts the mob for 4 seconds - that's the paladin's “taunt”. From 16 - Righteous Fury, from 20 - Consecration on groups of mobs. Threat is weak before 20: have the group start hitting after your second strike.Blessing of Might on warriors and rogues, Blessing of Wisdom on the healer and mages, and from 20 Blessing of Kings on the tank. Buff everyone at the entrance.Purify removes poison and disease: in Wailing Caverns and Ragefire Chasm that's your job. Before 30 a paladin can't remove sleep, fear or curses.Blessing of Protection goes on the mage or priest a mob is running at: for 6 seconds physical damage can't touch them. Hammer of Justice goes on a caster casting something dangerous: a paladin has no other interrupt.For a paladin: the full Hidden Enemies[16] chain gives Axe of Orgrimmar (a two-handed axe; skill - Orgrimmar) or Hammer of Orgrimmar for a tank, and The Power to Destroy...[16] gives the mail Gargoyle Leggings. Tauren get two more quests in Thunder Bluff, and a third one starts inside - ask a tauren friend to share them.
For a paladin: Leaders of the Fang[22] gives Hammerbone, Deviate Eradication[21] gives Dagmire Gauntlets. The Druids of the Fang cast sleep - a paladin can't remove it, so have the group kill them first.
Forsaken Greataxe, a two-handed axeThe Stitcher for a healerUnending Torment[21] and Crest of Lordaeron[22] start inside. The entrance is in the ruins of the capital, immediately to the left as you enter Lordaeron. There are lots of undead inside: Exorcism on cooldown, and from 24 Turn Undead as well.
Bronzed ShoulderguardsA paladin needs to come here for the class chain too: according to Wowhead comments, Enchanted Silver Ingot for A Moon-Kissed Blade[25] lies on a table in the last hall, where Archmage Arugal is. By our estimate, the keep's three quests give about 20 thousand experience. There are lots of curses here - a paladin can't remove them.
Corrupted Kor Gem drops from the naga at the entrance and inside. It's part of the blade chain: stepFor the healer: Twilight Lord Kelris casts sleep, and a paladin can't remove it - keep the tank topped off in advance.
Whitestone Oak LumberDrops from the Goblin Woodcarvers in the hall with Sneed (per Questie data), with a group: stepWithout this lumber you can't get Moonsilver Blade or Wolfsbane. For the Horde it's a long trip through Alliance lands - arrange a group in advance.
Tiger Band (+5 Strength)Satchel of PotionsThere's no flight path in the Wetlands: the Horde walks there from Tarren Mill or Hammerfall across Thandol Span.
The main quest Into The Scarlet Monastery is offered from level 33. The monastery's Graveyard is all undead - time for Exorcism.
What to learn, how to fight and how not to sit around with no mana - up to level 30
Judgement no longer consumes the seal; Holy Strike (from 6) and Seal of Fury (from 10) are new; Consecration and Blessing of Kings are now learned from the trainer at 20. Blessings last an hour, and Lay on Hands is every 20 minutes. Consecration only hits the first 4 targets at full strength. Undead paladins have their own path: Holy Light comes from a quest at level 2, Redemption from a chain at 12.How to kill a mob. Put Seal of Righteousness on yourself - it lasts 30 seconds, and Judgement doesn't consume it. As you run in, use Judgement and Holy Strike, then keep hitting and press them on cooldown (10 seconds). For a long fight (an elite, a mob 2+ levels above you): Seal of the Crusader, then Judgement (the debuff stays on the target for 40 seconds), then switch back to Seal of Righteousness. On normal mobs that's just wasted mana. From 20: Consecration when 3–4 mobs are on you, and Exorcism on cooldown against undead and demons - the route is full of them.
