At the very pinnacle of the zone-both physically and metaphorically speaking-is the Black Temple, perhaps the most iconic raid across the entire expansion.

The legendary “Cipher of Damnation” quest chain alone is enough to move the zone up our list, but it’s the countless other memorable moments that take place in Shadowmoon that bring it up our rankings. Shadowmoon Valley is home to some of the most intricate and famous quest lines in the entirety of TBC Classic. 3) Shadowmoon Valley Image via Blizzard Entertainment Oftentimes, the amount of content available to play through in Hellfire Peninsula will leave players who come back to the zone on a second character hanging around for more time than originally planned. The quests are memorable, the dungeons (which are all located in the intimidating and ever-present fortress of Hellfire Citadel) all leave strong impressions, and the leveling experience is one of the best across the expansion. Luckily, the zone provides a relatively strong experience. Hellfire Peninsula is the first zone every player will experience upon first arriving in Outland. Unfortunately for players, the zone’s questing experience itself isn’t strong enough to warrant a higher placement on our list.Ĥ) Hellfire Peninsula Image via Blizzard Entertainment So, as you’re making your way through your faction’s individually-tailored experience in Terokkar, you’re going to constantly check in for pit stops at Shattrath as you brush past your counterparts from the opposite faction. What’s most unique about that concept, though, is that Terokkar is also home to Shattrath, the first neutral city ever introduced to WoW. The Terokkar Forest experience is constantly dividing players of both the Alliance and the Horde by sending them on different quests relevant to their respective factions throughout the course of the zone’s questline. 5) Terokkar Forest Image via Blizzard Entertainment All of the instanced content that can be found in the zone is top-tier, but it’s not enough to push the overall experience of Netherstorm over the top. If anything, Netherstorm is saved by the fact that it’s home to the Tempest Keep raid and its surrounding dungeons. Apart from the usual standard quests you’ll find in almost every WoW zone, there’s not much intrigue to Netherstorm that makes it worth coming back to. 6) Netherstorm Image via Blizzard Entertainmentįor an endgame zone, Netherstorm is incredibly barren in regards to content.
