WoW Quests
There are several quest lines that you can complete in WoW. Since the game has received numerous expansion packs, there are many main story quests to complete. This makes it quite confusing, as many players do not know which questlines they should begin with.
Nevertheless, you can start with any questline in WoW. Bear in mind that some quests are main story quests, which focus on a specific story in WoW. As you progress in the main story quests, you will come across side quests.
Side quests are optional, and they do not influence the main story quests. However, we recommend that you complete the side quests, as they offer players great rewards and experience points.
