[[The Barrens]] is a huge questing hub for the Horde, serving as the second questing zone for [[tauren]], [[troll]]s, and [[orc]]s, and a good alternative for [[undead]] and [[blood elf|blood elves]] as well. In addition to being a good 10-20 questing area, it even provides some questing through level 25. There are, however, a few disadvantages to questing in this zone. One is the frequent [[Alliance]] attacks on the [[Crossroads]], the major questing hub. It is never fun to find the quest giver or wind rider dead when you need them. Another disadvantage is the famous [[Barrens Chat]], which is often full of immature jokes. This can be solved by simply /leaving the chat channel.

For major changes, feel free to edit, but make a note in the '''[[Talk:The Barrens questing guide|talk page]]''' as to your reasoning.

Many of the drop quests in the Barrens can be completed anywhere, so the progression is very non-linear.

This is a questing guide detailing the best method to obtain and complete quests in the Barrens.

For a list of all Barrens quests in table format, see Barrens quests

The Barrens is a huge questing hub for the Horde, serving as the second questing zone for tauren, trolls, and orcs, and a good alternative for undead and blood elves as well. In addition to being a good 10-20 questing area, it even provides some questing through level 25. There are, however, a few disadvantages to questing in this zone. One is the frequent Alliance attacks on the Crossroads, the major questing hub. It is never fun to find the quest giver or wind rider dead when you need them. Another disadvantage is the famous Barrens Chat, which is often full of immature jokes. This can be solved by simply /leaving the chat channel.

The Barrens is a large zone with two distinct questing hubs. This questing guide has therefore been divided into two parts:
