QUICK START
Reach your first pet quest, bind both attack and recall, and keep your ranged weapon up to date. Beast Mastery is a straightforward starting route for solo quests.

01
Create your character
Log in, select the realm you intend to play on and choose Create Character. If you are joining friends, agree on realm and faction before creating the character.
Alliance
Dwarf, Human, Night Elf, Skyborne
Horde
Orc, Tauren, Troll, Skyborne
Choose an available race, select Hunter, customise the appearance and name the character. Enter the world with the new character. Read the racial descriptions, but choose a character you want to keep playing.

02
Your first quests and fights
Find your health, resource bar, spellbook and quest log. Place your main attack and your survival tools on comfortable keys. Accept nearby starter quests, read the objectives and begin with one enemy at a time.
Start at range with Auto Shot and add your learned attacks. Auto Shot can fire while moving in Forever; maintain safe distance and use a slow or melee tool when an enemy reaches you.
Loot defeated enemies and return to complete your objectives. Before leaving the hub again, sell unwanted items, repair if needed and check your trainer for new abilities or ranks. Keep enough supplies for the next quest loop.
Auto Shot no longer has the old cast time in Forever. Move to maintain safe range; save deliberate stationary casting for Aimed Shot. Advice that makes every Auto Shot depend on stopping comes from a different version of the game.
Let the pet engage before spending your largest shot, and recall it through ground you have already cleared. A Passive/Follow key is more dependable than repeatedly clicking the pet bar during an accidental pull.
03
Training and talents
Level 10
Tame Beast. Your first companion changes how you pull. Finish the class quest, feed the pet and bind attack plus Passive/Follow recall.
Level 18
Multi-Shot. An additional multi-target option. At 20 it shares a cooldown with Aimed Shot; choose one for the pull rather than trying to use both together.
Level 20
Aimed Shot. Baseline training, not a Marksmanship talent. Its two-second cast is a deliberate opening or follow-up; do not mistake the cast for Auto Shot.
Level 20
Aspect of the Cheetah. Less time travelling between objectives. Switch out before taking damage so the daze does not turn a retreat into a death.
Level 25
Summon Hawk. A Beast Mastery talent at its earliest normal unlock. It adds a temporary attacker and shares its cooldown with Arcane Shot.
Level 30
Feign Death. An escape and threat tool. Recalling the pet remains a separate action; do not assume Feign Death cancels the pet’s pull.
Start Beast Mastery with Deadly Aspects. Focused Fire rewards an active pet, and Pathfinding improves travel. Pet survival talents are sensible alternatives if keeping your companion alive is the problem you are actually facing.
Spend around your current toolkit. A talent that improves an attack you have not learned yet may help later, but does little for the next fight. Check prerequisites and point costs in the planner.
+ Plan your talent points
Read talents and plan a route for your Hunter. Open the full Hunter calculator for more space.
Loading talent trees…
Check pet ability ranks as well as the pet’s level. An unfamiliar pet family may add a useful special ability, but a new family is not automatically a damage upgrade. Keep a basic attack available and watch its Focus use.
For a short single-target kill, compare Aimed Shot with the mana and cast time it takes. For several controlled enemies, Multi-Shot may be useful instead. Neither justifies breaking another player’s Polymorph or Sap.
04
Gear, professions and supplies
Inspect ranged weapon quest rewards and compare their damage. Keep a usable melee weapon for close encounters, but avoid choosing every reward as if you spend the whole fight in melee.
Skinning and Leatherworking fit a questing Hunter who wants to craft equipment. Engineering offers another kind of utility, but choose it because you want to use its items and can support the material cost.
Spend with a purpose. Compare the upgrade with the money or materials it takes, and keep enough for training and the supplies you routinely use. A reliable quest route matters more than buying every small improvement.
Alliance, from level 9: the Dark Iron Map starts the Old Ironforge Incursion chain. Follow the map hand-in and Earthseer Farsen steps, then take a group into Hall of Thanes to defeat Durgen. Choose Calibrated Blunderbuss if its 9.57 DPS improves your ranged slot. The quest minimum is not a recommendation to attempt the dungeon at level 9.
Alliance, from level 14: begin The Defias Brotherhood with Gryan Stoutmantle in Westfall, finish the travel and escort prerequisites, then complete the VanCleef objective with a Deadmines group. Tunic of Westfall is a leather reward worth comparing. Plan the run in the later teens or early twenties rather than confusing the quest minimum with the boss level.
05
Your first dungeon
Keep the pet on the tank’s current target. Avoid opening a pull with Multi-Shot, and ask which enemy should be trapped. Check ammunition and pet supplies before travelling to the entrance.
Plan a first run around levels 13–18: Ragefire Chasm is in Orgrimmar; Hall of Thanes is below Ironforge’s High Seat. Choose the dungeon and quests that fit your faction and route.
RFC · Oggleflint
Barbaric Crossbow: requires level 13, 9.50 weapon DPS, plus its damage proc. Compare it with your current ranged weapon; this is a named early target, not a guaranteed drop.
Hall of Thanes · quest
Calibrated Blunderbuss from Old Ironforge Incursion: 9.57 weapon DPS. A quest reward offers a reliable alternative to waiting for a boss weapon.
Hall of Thanes · armour
Spiritwraith Drape from Faldrim and Direhammer Leggings from Durgen are Agility-oriented comparisons. Choose by the stats you use rather than taking every leather drop.
Keep the pet on Passive until you give an attack command, then recall it before moving. Avoid Multi-Shot through controlled enemies. On a knockback or a pathing problem, recall the pet through cleared ground instead of sending it across another pack.
Collect the linked quests before the run and compare the reward afterwards. A useful quest reward can end a gearing detour without repeated boss farming.
06
Spell ranks and training budget
Select a level to see its recorded unlocks, or choose All levels for the complete 1–60 list. Open a spell name to inspect its effect and requirements. The priorities assume Beast Mastery solo levelling; buy the appropriate healing or tanking ranks when you take another role.
Keep your main attacks and recovery tools current. Learn useful control early; defer unused damage ranks before spending your travel and equipment gold.
