Druid Guide - Introduction

The following is a guide/walkthrough for the first 12 levels of the Druid class in World Of Warcraft. It will primarily be of interest to beginner players wanting to play a Horde Druid but parts of it should also be useful to players going for an Alliance Druid. A lot of it should also be useful to players wanting to create a Tauren character because the guide contains information about the quests that you will encounter.

I would highly recommend quickly reading the First Few Levels page on the Official World Of Warcraft website before starting this guide. It will give you some basic information about the game, though I do go through most of the points in more detail. This guide assumes you know the basic concepts of the game, such as health, mana and experience, and that you have a basic understanding of the interface.

The views in this guide are my own and I'm sure there will be others out there who have different views on playing the Druid class. It's important to realise that you should use guides as a basis for your playing style only and in time you will come to your own conclusions.

If you spot any mistakes, can think of something you would like added to the guide or would like me to explain a certain part of the guide in more detail then please . You can also download a PDF version of this guide for printing out, so that you can have it close at hand while you play.
