If you're behind: grind Darkmist Silkspinners and Lurkers [37-39] on Pass 2. At 38 a same-level mob gives ~66 XP each in the group, so ~0.25 level (~20k XP) takes ~75 min.

Hearth: leave it alone this phase. The night elves need it off cooldown in Phase 13.
1Lv 40.2 Powderfuse Port (neutral goblin port; no flight path in beta). Scout: inn, boat schedule back to Tanaris, where the roads go.
2Farholde Keep: Flight path (reported; one source). Write down its links (reportedly Lakeshire, Morgan's Vigil and Thelsamar).
3Eat 5% XP food before each hub's kill quests.
4Plan: work the hubs with quests at level ~41 and below (about 30 quests). Save anything 42+ for Phase 15. Skip anything that needs 30+ kills each for drops. Note where the Badlands and Burning Steppes borders are: Phase 14 enters Phase 15 over the Badlands border, and Phase 15 may be able to grab Morgan's Vigil.
Level40Everyone, for riding and level-40 training in Phase 13. The mount trip can't be repeated cheaply. Short? Finish another Riverglades hub, or grind level 39–41 mobs near it, before you fly.
5Travel: Farholde Keep → fly Ironforge (via Thelsamar if linked. Otherwise via Lakeshire → Stormwind → tram).
6If it disappoints: quest in Desolace instead, or stop at 40 and go for mounts.
If you're ahead: skip the Riverglades quests that need the most kills per person, and stop at 40.6 rather than finishing a hub.
If you're behind: no database data for Riverglades ★, so grind whatever is level 39–41 near the hub you're at, or quest in Desolace instead. At 40 a same-level mob gives ~69 XP each in the group, so ~0.25 level (~23k XP) takes ~80 min.

If you're ahead: nothing optional here. Skip the cloth turn-ins if nobody has 60 Mageweave.
If you're behind: no grinding in this phase. The Badlands in Phase 14 is the place: Stonevault Bonesnappers [39-40] are on the route. At 40.6 a same-level mob gives ~69 XP each in the group, so ~0.25 level (~23k XP) takes ~80 min.

On the way, three players click the Altar of the Keepers together to open the doors, and three click the Altar of Archaedas to wake him. He calls up statues and earth elementals during the fight: one player kills the adds, the others stay on him.Untested: the beta stops at 30, and he is five levels above the group.

You only see him when you're dead: die close by, talk to him as a ghost, then run back to your corpse.

General Notes
Prioritize dungeon quests, kill quests, single-collection, shared quick escorts
Avoid big collection quests, low droprates
Eat 5% XP food: the route has a step before each dungeon and long kill stretch, and a reminder at the pauses in long kill stretches. In dungeons, top up at every drink break. Don't eat right before a long flight or a boat: the buff runs out while you travel. If food must be rationed, save it for dungeons and kill stretches.
Sleeping bag: the …and that note you found chain (Phases 2, 3 and 8) gives the Cozy Sleeping Bag at Thoradin's Wall in Phase 8. Each minute in it gives +1% XP (up to 3%) for 1 hour. It has a 1-hour cooldown. Use it during the campfire minute. When you're waiting anyway (a boat, a respawn), stay 3 min for the full 3%.
Campfire: when the buff runs out, campfire at the next outdoor stop (an addon reminds you in game). One person places it and everyone sits for 1 min. From Phase 8, use the sleeping bag at the same time, and eat the buff food there if a food step is close. The route only has a campfire check before each dungeon, because you can't refresh the buff inside. The stat bonuses refresh early. The rested bar and the sleeping bag wait for their 1-hour timers.
Camp objects (three slots, one object per player each hour): Camp Tent (Gambit), Sharpening Wheel (the blacksmith) and Fish Bowl (someone with Fishing 20 who places nothing else). The tent tops up rested XP to 5% of a level. Use it from ~12, or from ~20 if Light Leather is short. To place them: the tent takes 5 Light Leather, the wheel a Rough Stone and a Copper Bar, the bowl a Raw Brilliant Smallfish and an Empty Vial. Skip the Lodestone (doesn't stack with Blessing of Might) and the Enchanted Lute (doesn't stack with Mark of the Wild). With a Journeyman Campfire (Cooking 140, five slots), add Vybe's Incense Candle.
Student Fodder no longer gives rested XP (nerfed).
Dungeon Notes
In dungeons, do the quests and skip the rest where the route says so (e.g. BFD: leave after Kelris).
Item counts are per player. Everyone loots their own quest items and checks their log before the group leaves. Click quest-starting items in your bags to accept their quests.
Stratholme: plan a way to open the Scarlet Bastion before the run. The Scarlet Key comes from Doan's Strongbox in Scarlet Monastery Library. The route does not collect it yet. Without access, skip The Archivist and the painting for Of Love and Family pt 2.
Check in beta
The level cap stops quests, not travel: flight paths and entrances in later zones can be scouted at 30.
Phase 0: where Tero's level-12 paladin quest fits best (the chain is known).
Phase 1, step 39: does each player get the hair clip from the toolbox for Silver of the Waves?
Phase 2, step 35: is Testing the Wells worth taking? The wells are at the Jansen Stead (56.7,18.7) and the Molsen Farm (46.2,38.3). Time the extra travel and the turn-in.
Phase 4: where the Wanted poster for WANTED: Incinerator Gar'im is (step 3). Also record the Battleworn Axes over the 15 Blackrock Champions (step 12) and the Midnight Orbs per Shadowcaster (step 22) with PaceLog
--drops: the Blackrock Menace chain only pays at ~40% or better.Phase 4, Duskwood: the Valor ghosts after The Valor Family. Lost Stalker (~53,66) drops Ira's Dagger, Lost Watcher (~62,65) Merrick's Bow, Lost Defender (~64,70 or 50,75) Silvia's Sword, and Lost Knight (Raven Hill Cemetery) Grant's Shield. Each item starts a quest: NEW Ira's Dagger (1,950: 10 Young Black Ravagers, 7 Black Ravagers), NEW Merrick's Bow (2,300: 8 Splinter Fist Warriors, 4 Splinter Fist Taskmasters at Vul'Gol), NEW Silvia's Sword (Defias at Addle's Stead), NEW Grant's Shield (Grant's Mace from a skeleton in the cemetery). All turn in at Sirra Von'Indi, Darkshire, and none can be shared. The Night Watchman's Torch is looted from a dead watchman in Raven Hill. Check: do the ghosts need the torch, or night? Does every player get the item? How long does each take?
Phase 5, step 38: how the Leech Stalker Corpse gives the gland for Alchemical Hazards (one per corpse or one per player? Can it fail?).
Phase 5, Wetlands: NEW Spoils of War (Valstag Ironjaw, Menethil): the Khaz Modan Timber (6) and Khaz Modan Iron (30) seem to be salvage underwater in the harbor, not piles in town. How long does it take? NEW Crimson Crate Delivery (1,200 XP, to Howin Kindfeather east of Menethil) comes after NEW Crocs of the Sky (James Halloran, whelp scales): how many kills? NEW Forced Disarmament (30 Dragonmaw Armaments, level 30 elite quest, turns in to Captain Stoutfist) is at Dragonmaw Retreat, not the War Banners camps. Scout it. If the armaments are drops, it's 150 for the group: cut.
Phase 22, step 6: does Marshal's Refuge have a flight path?
Phase 25, step 34: the Sunken Temple entrance (~70,50).
Phase 26: what guards the Tablet of the Seven (step 21); whether Forever has the lit brazier in Franclorn Forgewright's tomb (step 46), so nobody has to die to talk to him.
Phase 27, step 71: is there a Light's Hope → Chillwind Camp flight?
