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

Note: This guide is not meant for power-leveling purposes. Rather, it is meant to show a player the most efficient way to complete all quests available for a particular zone. If you know of a better order or method to accomplish this, your input is welcome (in fact, greatly desired). For major changes, feel free to edit, but make a note in the talk page as to your reasoning.
Horde Questing Guide (LVL 62-65)
Although this guide is designed for the horde, there is a great deal of overlap. In addition, more than half the quests (including the Cenarion Expedition and Sporeggar are nuetral. This guide does not point out the extremely obvious (that you should turn in as many quests as you can at a given time) and does not include messenger quests (other than ones that lead you to Zangarmarsh). All the quests are listed in order of how the chain can be completed, so as long as you complete each step in order, you shouldn't have to worry about missing pre-requisites.
Before You Leave
Before heading to Zangarmarsh, it would be a good idea to wrap up Hellfire Peninsula. There are a few quests that lead you to Zangarmarsh which bear mentioning.
| Quest Name | Quest Giver | Zone-Subzone |
|---|---|---|
 [62] Arelion's Mistress

| [61] Report to Zurai

|
Hellfire Peninsula - Falcon Watch |
These three are easy to come by, Arelion's Mistress is the only one part of a chain (beginning with 
[Arelion's Journal]). The last two are basic message drops to bring you over.
Getting There
Head directly east out of Hellfire Peninsula and you will find yourself in Zangarmarsh. You can pick up a flight path in Swamprat Post as well as the first series of quests. You'll also want to head just south to Cenarion Refuge.
Umbrafen Lake Quests
The first main area with quests in Umbrafen Lake, south-west of Cenarion Expedition. There are a number of quests available that can all be done in one run.

Zangarmarsh - Cenarion Expedition |
While you could complete all of these quests on a single run,there are a few that you can keep working on since you will run across their goals later on as well. These are: Thick Hydra Scales, Plants of ZangarmarshThere's No Explanation for Fashion and A Warm Welcome.
If you can wrap up in the Umbrafen Village, you can finish by picking up Escape from Umbrafen, since it takes you pretty much back to the Cenarion Expedition for unloading and turn-in.
Back at the Cenarion Expedition

| [64] Blessings of the Ancients

 Windcaller Blackhoof
|
Zangarmarsh - Cenarion Expedition |
The latter requires friendly reputation with the Cenarion Expedition which you should have at this point, but both can be completed immediately and don't require you to leave town (technically you fly away, but you come back).
The Southern Lakes and Funggor Cavern

This run has you going back to the steam pump at Umbrafen Lake, then on to The Lagoon, and finishing down in Funggor Cavern. All of these quests can be completed on one run, and should be. You will need to finish Thick Hydra Scales before the next run.
Dead Mire and Eastern Serpent Lake

Zangarmarsh - Cenarion Expedition |
This run will send you north, to the Dead Mire and the eastern side of Serpent Lake. This leg can be a little tricky- Here are some additional notes:
Searching for Scout Jyoba: Once you've found his body, he will give you a follow-up quest, Jyoba's Report. You must then kill Withered Giants until his report drops (usually pretty fast). They will also drop randomly a quick quest called Withered Basidium.
[Drain Schematics]: If this didn't drop for you already, it will probably drop off the Bloodscale Overseers.
Feralfen Ridge and the West end of the Lagoon
It's time to head towards Zubra'jin.

These two are pretty straight forward.

The first quest, Burstcap Mushrooms, Mon! is a gathering quest that doesn't have to be complete until you head to Daggerfen Village. The final two are repeatable if you want to get reputation with Sporeggar (which isn't too hard- just collect Bog Lord Tendrils and Mature Spore Sacs).
Once you've completed Observing the Sporelings then do...

|
Zangarmarsh - Quagg Ridge |
| [62] A Spirit Ally?
|
Seer Janidi
|
Zangarmarsh - Zabra'jin |
You will probably run into "Count" Ungula, which can give you The Count of the Marshes, which also turns in to Watcher Leesa'oh. A Spirit Ally? takes you back to Feralfen Village, but you can skirt along the southern edge and keep engagements to a minimum.

You'll take a nice swim into Serpent Lake, and in the center you can check out the big drain and kill some more hydras. After that, stroll over to the Ogres and finish them up.
Optional Side Run: Back to Hellfire Peninsula
Completing Drain Schematics means you can go back to the Cenarion Refuge in Hellfire Peninsula. You can also grab a bottle of 
[Cenarion Spirits] and wrap up Arelion's Mistress in Falcon Watch. Drain Schematics eventually leads to the Lost in Action quest, but is not a prerequisite. In Cenarion Refuge you'll get Return to the Marsh which will send you back and get you the next step.
Coilfang Reservoir
This is optional- probably best done when you have a group ready to do Slave Pens or Underbog, since they both take place at the Reservoir.

To finish the Drain Schematic quest line you meet Watcher Jhang in Coilfang Reservoir. She can give you the Lost in Action which takes place in both instances. The final two quests from Sporeggar require friendly and both take place in Underbog, so you can run Slave Pens first.
