  • Two ordinary mobs at once from about 16

Heeding the Call → Moonglade → Great Bear Spirit → Body and Heart

Where to start

  • Night Elf Accept “Heeding the Call” from your Druid trainer. It sends you to Darnassus.
  • Tauren Accept “Heeding the Call” from your Druid trainer. It sends you to Thunder Bluff.
  • High Order Skyborne / Windshaper Skyborne Talk to Urs’endris in the eastern part of Zephras Isle and accept “Strength and Mercy”. Your trainer points you there, but you can go straight to him.

Important steps

  1. Night Elf / Tauren In the city, pick up “Moonglade” and cast Teleport: Moonglade.
  2. Night Elf / Tauren Accept “Great Bear Spirit” and speak to the Bear Spirit in the northeast of Moonglade.
  3. Night Elf Accept “Body and Heart”. The spirit is in a cave east of Auberdine, Darkshore (42, 45). Pull one mob at a time and use Entangling Roots for breathing room.
  4. Tauren Accept “Body and Heart”. The spirit is in a cave west of Camp Taurajo in the Barrens (42, 60). Pull one mob at a time and use Entangling Roots for breathing room.
  5. High Order Skyborne / Windshaper Skyborne Go to the marked cave in the middle of the island (53, 64). Approach from the north side: the southern side has no way in. Kill Ur’endra.
  6. Turn in to learn Bear Form, then train Maul and Growl.

Travel notes

  • Night Elf From Moonglade, hearth if it is set to Darnassus or Dolanaar, or take the free Moonglade flight back.
  • Tauren Hearth back to Mulgore from Moonglade. Body and Heart fits your move into the Barrens.
  • High Order Skyborne / Windshaper Skyborne No Moonglade trip. Skyborne is the fastest race to Bear Form.

Travel notes

  • It’s a long chain. Start it at 16 and pick up each half when your route passes nearby, finishing around 18-20.
  • Tauren / High Order Skyborne / Windshaper Skyborne Moonglade is far from your zones. Set your Hearthstone before teleporting.
