Notes

  • During the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta this area was known was Kelp Forest.
  • Kelp'thar Forest might suit best for those who do not plan on spending gold for additional riding skill, but instead get the free Abyssal Seahorse mount which makes it considerably faster to level in Kelp'thar Forest, Shimmering Expanse and Abyssal Depths.
