Goal: level 5, the Earth Totem and Stoneskin Totem, and the habit of fighting one mob at a time.

• You start with Lightning Bolt and Healing Wave. Put Rockbiter Weapon on your weapon (level 1 according to client data).
• Do the starting quests in Coldridge Valley as usual. Always read the trainer's quest list.
• Level 4: learn Earth Shock and pick up Call of Earth from Teo Hammerstorm (Anvilmar). According to Warcraft Tavern and Hearthproof (beta):
  1. Collect 2 Iceclaw Bear Pendants from Frostmane Troll Whelps (approx. 27.3, 79.6). Turn them in to Teo.
  2. You receive Earth Sapta. Drink it at the Earth Spirit Stone (approx. 25.0, 62.4); the path starts at approx. 25.8, 69.3 and is marked with rubble.
  3. Talk to the Minor Manifestation of Earth, bring the Rough Quartz back to Teo → Earth Totem and Stoneskin Totem.
• The sources sometimes call the NPC "Teo Hammerfist" and the items "Frostmane Bear Pendants" – trust your quest log.

Beginner mistake: casting Lightning Bolt until you are out of mana. Open with one bolt, then melee.

Goal: learn range control and get out of the starting area without dying.

• Trainer in Shadowglen according to Hearthproof: Mardant Strongoak. Learn new ranks every other level.
• Basic loop: Mark of the Wild on yourself → Wrath at range → another Wrath if the enemy is still far away → finish with your weapon to save mana.
• Level 4: Moonfire and Rejuvenation. Apply Moonfire while the enemy runs toward you; Rejuvenation ticks while you fight.
• Sit down and eat/drink only when your mana is below roughly a third – not after every mob.

Checkpoint: level 5–6, Moonfire and Rejuvenation learned, at least one weapon upgrade from quests.
