I strongly recommend going to the Eastern Kingdoms and complete as much of Redridge Mountains and Duskwood as possible, this will prevent the need to grind for hours in Ashenvale and will also round out your Stormwind reputation. You'll hit about 22-24 when you run out of yellow/green quests go elsewhere to level and later come back in your mid to upper twenties when you come back. It's worth noting that if you're Alliance and come here fresh from a level 10-20 zone, most of the chains will lead to an orange or red quest keeping this in mind for optimal speed. Mobs get progressively harder from West to East, until about Ravenwood Retreat (due to the Horde enterance being to the south) and are strongest at the borders of Azshara and Felwood.


Comment by KaitenComing in from Darkshore (or Bloodmyst), you'll gradually work your way East while making a few treks to Stonetalon Mountains soon after you hit Astranaar (in fact most of the Stonetalon alliance quests complement Astranaar's) and finally landing in Forest Song in your late 20s.
