The WoW Authority’s Horde Leveling Guide: Blood Elf Starting Area (Level 1 to 12)
Throughout the early levels in Eversong Woods, you should stop at Level 5, 7, 10, and 12 and purchase any skills you need. Additionally, repair your gear as often as possible, preferably every time you return to town. Even if it doesn’t seem like you will need to, it can be a big help if you face a long dungeon or tough foe and lose your sword. At this level, you won’t have any spares lying around. Finally, make sure every time you return to town you have enough food and water to keep you alive (except for Mages) until you return. Two stacks should be sufficient.
