RaceUndeadA step-by-step route for an Undead Priest from 1 to 30 in WoW Forever: where to go at every level, which quests to grab right away so you never run back, where to learn your spells and where to get a wand - until 30 it does almost half of your damage. Plus when to collect dungeon quests, which professions to take and how to spend less time sitting with an empty mana bar.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Fade.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. Not sure what to pick? Go “Shadow: wand and Spirit Tap”. Every build puts 
Wand Specialization at 15–16: on this route you usually get a wand around 15, when vendors start selling them, and without a wand this talent does nothing - so your first 5 points go elsewhere (that's what Mobalytics advises). Already have a wand at 10 (auction house, an enchanter friend)? Then Wand Specialization goes at 10–11 and the next 5 points at 12–16; from 17 the order is the same. You can only reset your talents at a priest trainer in a capital: Aelthalyste in Undercity, Ur'kyo in Orgrimmar, Miles Welsh 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.
Wand Specialization - +25% wand damage for 2 points (in Forever, instead of 5). 
Spirit Tap - after a kill your Spirit doubles for 15 seconds, and half of your mana regeneration keeps going even while you cast: you hardly need water. 
Improved Shadow Word: Pain - Shadow Word: Pain lasts 24 seconds, handy for pulling two mobs.
Mind Flay at 22 slows a runner by 50%. At 23–24 - 
Improved Mind Flay: at 2/2 every tick hits 20% harder than the one before. Rank 1 is still weaker than your wand, and the channel also keeps you standing still for the full 3 seconds. At 28 the trainer has Mind Flay (rank 2): 102 damage instead of 63. At 30 - 
Vampiric Embrace: if a target dies with it on, you get Spirit Tap, even if someone else landed the killing blow.Spirit Tap rarely procs until you take Vampiric Embrace.Vampiric Embrace requires level 30, so it sits at 30 in the order. If the game lets you take it earlier, take it at 27 and 
Shadow Weaving after that.
Shadowform at 42 if you don't reset; to have it at 40 you need a reset and 31 points in Shadow.

Level 30 - fly from Freewind Post to Thunder Bluff, Miles Welsh : 
Divine Spirit (now available to every priest), Power Word: Shield (rank 5) and Inner Fire (rank 3) - 1 each; Dark Sacrifice (rank 2, 150) - pocket change, a must-learn: 720 mana instead of 440; 
Prayer of Healing - if you heal a group. In “Penance” (every point in Discipline) Penance unlocks.
Everything at 30 costs about 9 gold. 
Mind Control, 
Shadow Protection, Smite (rank 5) and Fade (rank 3) can wait. Touch of Weakness (rank 3) - 5, take it if you keep it up on yourself.
What's next (30+): 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.
Quests offered far from the entrance, and how to heal a group
Meditation (the “Meditation” and “Penance” builds) your mana lasts noticeably longer.Renew on the tank in advance, then Heal (from 16); Flash Heal (from 20) only in an emergency - it's expensive. Nobody to heal? Shoot your wand.Fade: according to a Blizzard article, in Forever it drops twice as much threat (the tooltip is still the old one). After 10 seconds the threat comes back - plenty of time for the tank to grab the mob. Psychic Scream in a dungeon only if the alternative is a wipe: fleeing mobs pull the neighboring packs.Dispel Magic (from 18) removes magical sleep, roots and slows from an ally. Diseases - Cure Disease. A priest can't remove curses or poisons.Fear Ward (from 20) - on the tank before a boss that fears. It lasts 3 minutes.Vampiric Embrace (both “Shadow” builds, at 30): when a mob dies with it on, you get Spirit Tap even if someone else landed the killing blow, and your Shadow damage heals the group.For a priest: the end of the Hidden Enemies[16] chain gives Staff of Orgrimmar (+18 spell power), and The Power to Destroy...[16] gives Ghastly Trousers. Tauren get two more quests in Thunder Bluff, and a third one starts inside - ask a tauren friend to share them.
Sizzle StickCrescent StaffFor the healer: Druids of the Fang and the Fanglords cast sleep - remove it with Dispel Magic. The druids also heal themselves - have the group kill them first.
Gnarled Necromancer's Staff, the best staff on the routeUnending 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. For the healer: the fights are long, and mana is your main problem; healer boots and leggings drop from the bosses (per Icy Veins).
Ghostly MantleBy our estimate, the three quests give about 20 thousand experience in Forever - more than half a level. For the healer: lots of curses, and a priest can't remove them.
Gravestone Scepter, the best wand before 30. Turned in at Thunder Bluff: stepDamp Note and Strange Water Globe, which drops from Baron Aquanis. The reward is Witch's FingerFor the healer: Twilight Lord Kelris casts sleep - remove it from the tank right away with Dispel Magic.
Snake Hoop (+5 Intellect)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.
What to train, what to fight with and how not to sit with an empty mana bar - up to level 30
Devouring Plague and Fear Ward are now available to every priest from 20, Divine Spirit is a regular spell from 30, and Undead get a new ability at 20 - Dark Sacrifice. Base spell damage is lower, but gear has more spell power and it scales better. Wand Specialization costs 2 points instead of 5, Meditation gives 50% regeneration while casting. DoTs and HoTs can crit. Since September 24, wands don't get any damage from spell power - videos and guides from before that date about a “wand that hits for 150” are outdated.How to kill a mob. Shadow Word: Pain from range, then the wand (Shoot) until it dies. Tough mob? Mind Blast first (from 10), then Shadow Word: Pain. Shield (Power Word: Shield) if the mob is going to reach you: a tough mob, two at once, or your wand can't kill it in time. Hits push back your casts, so Smite and Heal only under a shield - wand shots don't get pushed back. Don't finish a mob with a spell: the mana you spend stops your regeneration for 5 seconds. Until you have a wand (usually before 10), open from range with Smite and finish in melee.
