Season of Discovery Feral Druid Tank Leveling

This guide will aim to provide you with a clear skill and gear path to level 60 as Feral Druid Tank in WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4. We will focus on talents, skills to buy and spell rotation, as well as leveling gear and the class specific quests you will find along the way.

As a tank spec, Feral Druid is a fantastic single-target tank but you need to be mindful of attacking every enemy in large pulls, as none of your baseline abilities is capable of doing large area threat.

Unlike most tank specializations, you will actually be able to solo quest very efficiently, trading off some raw Feral DPS for excellent survivability.

We recommend the following talents for Feral Druid Tank leveling:

You can also learn more details about this build and what spells to buy on our level-by-level WoW Classic leveling guides listed below:

You can only get Bear Form at Level 10, making your first few levels be all about Wrath leveling with the early Fury of Stormrage and Sunfire runes. Sunfire is particularly notable as it can also be used inside Bear Form to attack from range and as a decent area threat / damage tool.

Mangle and Lacerate are also available early on, and will speed your leveling significantly, especially when used together against tough enemies.

Make sure to check our Druid Rune guide, which has all runes you can obtain and their locations:

The Cozy Sleeping Bag is a new item in Season of Discovery that you can use to gain extra experience and rested experience, for yourself and any nearby party members, even if they do not have it themselves!

It has a lengthy unlock process that will take you all around the world:

Horde starts at a charred body near 46,74 in the Barrens, and then goes to the charred body at 37,50 in Westfall, while Alliance does the same in opposite order.

Afterwards, head to 40,52 in Stonetalon Mountains and look for a box next to a tent with a red cross on it. Click the nearby item to turn in the quest and proceed to a pile of dirt nearby at 40,50 for the next part of the quest.

Head to 49,13 in Loch Modan to turn in the next step at the top of the dam, to a eagle statue. Finish by going up the Thoradin Wall at 87,49 in Hillsbrad Foothills using a nearby cart to climb up the wall. Inside you will find the final turn in spot (bag and note) to receive Cozy Sleeping Bag. Make sure to use it on cooldown to speed up your leveling!

By setting yourself up with an upgraded user interface and macros from the get go, you will make your leveling process much easier. Check out our Druid Macros and Addons guide in the link below for the full list.

Learning professions early on is very useful, as you can naturally level them as you go, avoiding extra work at max level. This is especially true for gathering professions, but crafting professions compensate your efforts by giving you extra tools to level with.

Druid is a fantastic gatherer, making Herbalism and Mining a natural fit for gold-minded players, but Skinning is also great as you can only have one type of radar active at a time, making Herbalism and Mining be annoying when paired.

Finally, there is also a case to be made for leveling Engineering early on, since its crafts can make your leveling much easier, or Leatherworking to get a head-start on the important bind on pickup crafted gear available in Season of Discovery.

For the most part you will want to use Stamina items that also have damage stats: Strength and Agility are your best bet for most of the leveling process. Gear with other offensive stats, such as Attack Power, Hit or Critical Strike is also good if you happen upon it.
