Thundering Steppes Timeline

Thundering Steppes Timeline Recommended Levels 20 to 30 Introduced: Shattered Lands Difficulty: Solo Starts in: The Thundering Steppes Preceded by: Antonica Timeline Followed by: Enchanted Lands Timeline Zek Timeline

The Thundering Steppes have been ripped, beaten and warred upon for centuries - and the questing reflects this. Quests are less linear than most zones, with many repeatables and limited repeatables, that ultimately feel very haphazard. To compensate for this, the adventurer should visit the various quest hubs every few levels to pick up available quests and should work as many as possible simultaneously. It is recommended that the adventurer first complete the Antonica Timeline before starting this timeline to better understand the themes behind the former Plains of Karana. However, if the adventurer is feeling bold enough and chooses to skip Antonica, then they should start at the eastern gate connecting to Antonica and work their way towards Dead River Docks, the main quest hub of the zone.

• This is a master quest list that excludes any holiday/event related quests.
• All quests listed here, unless noted, can be started and completed as of January 2018.
• NOTE: Always start book quests before you begin killing everything!!!
