By now you’ve seen that the warrior class in World of Warcraft is a fun, playable experience that includes several different play styles and techniques. The only other warrior specific information is the listing of warrior-only quests which you can (and should) complete for rewards and skills at certain levels.
Defensive Stance Quests
First, here are the beginning level 10 quests which you can get in order to obtain Defensive Stance and your first weapon. For the most part there is no reason to skip these, especially as you need Defensive Stance, so go ahead and do them even if you’re planning on being pure grind for most of your gameplay.
Horde and Alliance can share quests between their respective races, ie as an Undead you can complete the Orc quests.
Night Elves (Alliance)
Elanaria
Start: Sentinel Elissa Starbreeze – Darkshore
End: Elanaria – Darnassus
Talk to Elissa, she’ll tell you to talk to Elanaria in Darnassus. Elanaria will tell you to bring her the Horn of Vorlus the satyr. Go to the Ban'theil Barrow Den, go east, look for path in the south of mountains, follow path, and kill the satyr in the pool. Bring back the Horn for Defensive Stance.
The Shade of Elura
Start: Elanaria – Darnassus
End: Mathiel – Darnassus
Go to the docks in Auberdine, in the water is a ship, kill Elura, get medallion, find Ore in crates on ocean floor to the east. After you visit Elanaria again, give the case to the smith for a decent weapon.
Human (Alliance)
A Warrior's Training
Start: Lyria Du Lac – Elwynn Forest
End: Harry Burlguard – Stormwind City
Talk to Harry in the Pig & Whistle; old town district. He’ll tell you to get the mug from Bartleby the Drunk. This quest won’t work if you have the Vejrek quest as well. Bring the mug back to get Defensive Stance.
Marshal Haggard

Start: Harry Burlguard – Stormwind City
End: Marshal Haggard – Elwynn Forest
Go to Lumber camp to the East, talk to Haggard. He’ll tell you to get his badge. Kill Jack and his guard, just east of Ridgepoint Tower. Get his key, his strongbox is right near his camp. Return for a decent weapon.
Undead (Horde)
Speak with Dillinger
Start: Austil de Mon – Trisfal Glades
End: Coleman Farthing – Brill
After you talk to Dillinger, go to the graveyard NW of Brill... there's a small building where he is, you need to hit the switch on the ground near it (it looks like a panel) before you can fight the guy. He's beyond the door. Dillinger will tell you to go to Gallow’s End. Talk to Coleman. This part is best done with a group, due to mobs attacking in threes. Items are on racks in the crypt in the mill. Return for a nice weapon.
Orc (Horde)
Veteran Uzzek
Start: Tarshaw Jaggedscar – Durotar
End: Uzzek – Far Watch Post
Talk to Uzzek (he’s by the tree), then go to Thunder Ridge, scales drop off of Thunder Lizards and Lighting Hides. Return for Defensive Stance.
Thun'grim Firegaze
Start: Uzzek – Far Watch Post
End: Thun'grim Firegaze – The Barrens
Find him east of the crossroads up on a mountain, it may seem hard to climb at first, but it is possible. Talk to him. Go south from Thun'grim, look for the crate near a wrecked cart at the first camp. Come back for a nice weapon.
Dwarf (Alliance)
Muren Stormpike
Start: Granis Swiftaxe – Dun Morogh
End: Muren Stormpike – Ironforge Hall of Arms
Bring Vejrek's Head to Muren Stormpike in Ironforge. He's on top of a hill all alone; south of Frostmane hold. Reward is Defensive Stance.
Tormus Deepforge
Start: Muren Stormpike – Ironforge Hall of Arms
End: Tormus Deepforge – Ironforge Great Forge

Talk to Tormus. Go south of the Easternmost lake in Dun Morogh. The chest is in the basement of the building. Return for a nice weapon.
Draenei (Alliance)
Strength of One
Start: Ruada – Azure Watch
End: Ruada – Azure Watch
Talk to Ruada, then head north to the coast where you will see the Death Ravager in a locked cage. Unlock the cage with the provided Ravager Cage Key and kill him. Return to Ruada for Defensive Stance along with Sunder Armor (Rank 1) and Taunt.
Behomat
Start: Ruada – Azure Watch
End: Behomat – The Exodar
Talk to Ruada, then go to The Exodar by taking the road west of Azure Watch and locate Behomat at the top of the Traders' Tier.
Berserker Stance Quests
At level 30, you’ll want to go back to your respective warrior faction trainer at your city, and he’ll have a new quest for you which will get you your Berserker Stance and a chance for another decent weapon.
It doesn’t matter which warrior trainer you go to for this, they’ll all send you to the same place – a little island off the coast of Ratchet. It’s a little hard to find but it’s the very first one you see to the south when you get in the water. Talk to the islander there, and you’ll have to fight and defeat a series of bad guys within 10 minutes. Make sure you’re prepared to fight, but it isn’t meant to kill you, just test you, so you should be fine by level 30. Don’t be too concerned with Big Will, he only uses his hands and isn’t terribly difficult.
When you win, you’ll receive Berserker Stance and the chance to go on and attempt to get a better weapon. It’s a very nice weapon, your choice of any Whirlwind weapon, axe mace or sword. But, chances are that by level 30 you’ve already found something nice, so you may just decide it’s not worth the trouble. However, it is a pretty fun quest if you have the time.
Level 40

If you decide to continue, you’ll need to talk to Bath’rah, who lives by the Western Plaguelands. To find Bath'rah, go to the river that flows along Tarren Mill's eastern flank.

Follow it north--Bath'rah is camped near ruins that rest along the river's eastern bank. He’ll tell you he needs several things to summon a wind lord for you to fight. Buy Liferoot on the auction house or gather it if you’re an Herbalist, that’s the easy one. Cresting Charms can be found at the Circle of East Binding just west of Hammerfall, Thundering Charms can be found at the Circle of Outer Binding just south of Dabyrie's Farmstead/east of Refuge Point, and Burning Charms can be found at the Circle of West Binding just west of Northfold Manor/east of the main gate of Thoradin's Wall. (All charms drop in Arathi Highlands.) These will get you the Essence of Exile that you need. Last, get the tusks in Stranglethorn Vale. This will all probably take you a while to complete, but you’ll get some nice experience while you do it.
When you have everything, return and give it all to Bath’rah. Follow him around the corner and you’ll face the monster. It’s an easy fight if you’re level 40, decent if you’re 37 or so, and you’ll really need help if you’re still in the low 30s at this point. Once you defeat him, give his heart to Bath’rah and you’ll get your weapon.
Level 50
Warriors should get the quest "Voodoo Feathers" at Level 50. You will have to work towards this quest before going into the temple by following this quest chain:
1. A Troubled Spirit
2. Warrior Kinship
3. War on the Shadowsworn
4. Voodoo Feathers
The rewards are also useful, especially for slow swinging warriors who depend on high crit%.
