Outside the crypt is Undertaker Mordo - Rude Awakening. He sends you to Shadow Priest Sarvis - Mindless Ones, in the chapel at the bottom of the hill; that's the first building on the left (west). You need to complete this before you can get any more quests. Kill and return. 
 
Novice Elreth - The Damned; hunt to the west for these. Priest Sarvis - Rattling the Rattlecages, t  More ...

 
Start by collecting a couple of quests leading there. There's a good guide on Allakhazam, which is described as an introduction to Stranglethorn Vale. This is reasonable, as there aren't a lot of quests in Thousand Needles, and most quest givers will push you towards Stranglethorn Vale.

This is intended to be a short guide to running the night elf newbie area most efficiently. It is always best to run available quests on top of grinding kills for experience; this should show available combinations of quests that involve killing the same mobs wherever possible. I will point out any possible gaps in experience levels between quests, and also any parts of the sequence that require  More ...

Come here if you have been to Desolace and have reach Uthek the Wise - Ongeku, and on the way stop off in Boooty Bay to collect Krazek - Dream Dust in the Swamp and Duskwallow Marsh, for Morgan Stern - ...And Bugs. Initial entry will probably be by road from Darkshire, in Duskwood. You need to take the road east out of town, and run through Deadwind Pass. Before leaving Darkshire, you should pr  More ...

East of Elwynn Forest; part of the human starting grounds, suitable for 15-20. Enter with Gryan Stoutmantle - The Defias Brotherhood, from Westfall, and collect Guard Parker - Encroaching Gnolls, as you enter on the road from Elwynn Forest.

As you enter Lakeshire, you will pick up: Foreman Oslow - The Lost Tools. Also take: Verner Osgood - The Price of Shoes, Magistrate Solom  More ...

 
You should have arrived here from Dun Morogh, through the south pass, with the Stout to Kadrell quest. At the guard tower just inside Loch Modan, stop to collect two quests: Captain Rugelfuss - The Trogg Threat, and Mountaineer Cobbleflint - In Defense of the King's Lands. You can complete these quests now, on the way to Thelsamar, but I prefer to set my hearthstone and the flight path as soon   More ...

Most of these have been confirmed to be good, but in order to prevent overcrowding in areas I will try to list several different places, all of which should be pretty decent. More often than not, the areas will only hold one or two people maximum as far as spawn rates  More ...

 
This is a listing per instance giving the approximate level, and details the quests that you can complete in the instance, as well as any prerequisites for those quests. Some of these quests are for items that are needed to complete the instance, so are important.

Immediately in front of you when you start is Deputy Willem - A Threat Within, who sends you inside the Abbey to Marshall McBride - Kobold Camp Cleanup. Collect these two quests, then go back outside the Abbey to the West side, Eagan Peltskinner - Wolves Across the Border. Go north of the abbey to complete these two; there's a kobold camp north of the Abbey, and wolves around  More ...

You start in front of: Kaltunk - Your Place in the World. Go to see Gornek in the Den, to the west. 
 
Gornak - Cutting Teeth. Back out and a little north from where you started, kill boars, then return to Gornak, who will give you your first class quest (Glyphic Tablet). 
 
Gornak - Sting of the Scorpid and Galgar - Galgar's Cactus Apple Surprise. Pick cactus apples  More ...

 
Anvilmar 
 
The only quest available at the starting area initially is Sten Stoutarm - Dwarven Outfitters. Complete that by killing wolves to the immediate south. Return, and pick up the first class quest; this is usually a scroll or similar, sending you to your trainer once you are level 2. Also collect Balir Frosthammer - A New Threat, and head inside to your trainer (inside means up th  More ...

 
Start with Roetten Stonehammer - Reclaimer's Business in Desolace, in Ironforge, and buy an advanced target dummy in the Auction House. If you visit Stormwind, you should be able to pick up Brother Crowley - Brother Anton, but this may be level restricted. Entry to Desolace for the first time is via Stonetalon Mountains and the Charred Vale. The flight path and inn are in Nijel's Point. The p  More ...

You can start here at level 10, with the Buzzbox, fishing and cooking (Easy Strider Living) quests, moving to Bashal'Aran and Ameth'Aran as you level, although I started at 12. Look up quests on Allakhazam or Thottbot for details. Also a More ...

Lunar Fireworks - buy 8 fireworks and 2 clusters, and use them. The reward is some Cenarion Circle faction, and an invite to Moonglade (Valadar Starsong). The invitation lasts 24 hours.

Collection Quests: 
 
These quests open up according to reputation, and possibly level. So there is a max number of each type of item that can be handed in, before the final version of each type.

Drop rates for these items can vary considerably.

From Loch Modan 
 
Start off in Thelsamar by collecting: Mountaineer Kadrell - Report to Mountaineer Rockgar. Rockgar is in Loch Modan, just before the entrance to Wetlands. He gives you: Mountaineer Rockgar - The Algaz Gauntlet. You need to kill orcs in the pass for this; the final part of the task is to traverse the pass, which you do by exiting the final stage into Wetlands. If you  More ...

 
Before you arrive, pick up in Gadgetzan: Tran'rek - Super Sticky. The entry point is to the south west of Tanaris, just north of the cactus area, and south of the insect part. The ramp down to Un'goro is marked by two obelisks. Right where you enter is Torwa Pathfinder, but most of his quests are a little high to start. Just past him is the ravasaur trainer (Horde faction).

I'm assuming that this is being pursued by a Night Elf character, just out of Darkshore. Another assumption is that this is PvE, and not on a PvP server. 
 
You will have entered Ashenvale on The Sleeper Awakens quest, and so will be starting at Maestra's Post with the Tower of Althalaxx continuation. There are some quests to collect there, then head on to Astranaar, and check in at the inn, and   More ...

 
I don't think that there are any quests leading to Searing Gorge. There are two entrances. The standard entrance for your first time is from the mid west of Badlands; find this by going south west from the two annoying gnomes in the north west, but avoid the Horde outpost. 
 
The flight path is at Thorium Point, in the north west. You can reach it by going north, then west, from the Badlands ent  More ...

 
Only a few of these quests are for Hillsbrad itself; Southshore is a centre for quests into Alterac as well. 
 
Start off at about 30 with these: 
 
Lieutenant Farren Orinelle - Down the Coast 
Chef Jessen - Soothing Turtle Bisque 
 
The first quest is a series, starting with murlocs, then naga, and ending with a trip to Stormwind. Murlocs are to the west, naga to the east, and turtles along the stream  More ...

 
Seasonal quests for Winter Veil Festival (Christmas). New NPCs appear around the bank in Ironforge, in the town square in Stormwind, in every inn, and various other places. 
 
First, talk to the goblins and get their quests; buy five holiday spices and both recipes (Gingerbread Cookies and Egg Nog). Then talk to Greatfather Winter (in Ironforge/Orgrimmar), next to them.  
 
Then buy 5 Ice Cold Milk,  More ...

 
A lot of the quests given here are lead ins to Zul'Farrak, and some straightforward quest sequences suddenly branch off to there. You will want from Stranglethorn Vale: "Sea Wolf" MacKinley - Stoley's Debt, and Krazek - Tran'rek; the follow on for this is one of those Zul'Farrak quests. Start by making your way to Gadgetzan.

Before heading here, collect from Stormwind: Archmage Malin - Malin's Request. As this is possibly your first trip in this direction, collect the flight path at Refuge Point, then head to Hillsbrad Foothills (due west), and to Southshore for Phin Odelic, Hillsbrad - Hints of a New Plague?. Both of these are starting points for lengthy quest series.

Starting in Darkshire at the east side of this zone, your initial quests will have you running back and forth to Raven Hill, at the west side of the zone. I am assuming that you will enter from Lakeshire in Redridge Mountains, as Darkshire contains the flight path. It is probably easier to reach the Raven Hill area from Sentinel Hill in Westfall, although the run through Duskwood on the road sh  More ...

 
There is an amazing amount of preparation that you could do, if so inclined, for quests in this zone; in one series every quest requires an item that could be obtained from the Auction House. Also, many quests relating to Badlands are really disguised pointers for you to go to Uldaman, the level 40-50 instance in this zone. 
 
You should have one quest still from Thousand Needles: Fizzle Brassbolt  More ...

This is at the south end of the Barrens, on the west side of the road. It's a long run through the Barrens from Dustwallow Marsh, and perhaps the flight path in the west of Thousand Needles (really in Feralas) is faster; you need to visit Thalanaar to pick up one of the quests. You may want to pass through Ratchet to pick up the tuber quest, but that is a longer run still. 
 
Heralath Fallowbrook  More ...

 
Entrance is in the west of Dun Morogh. This is the longest instance so far - I imagine it will take two to three hours to complete, but it can be split into two by getting the workshop key. 
 
For the Horde: you don't need to hack your way through Dun Morogh to get to Gnomeregan. Sovik gives out a quest that lets you teleport to just outside the instance from Booty Bay - just take the boat from R  More ...

 
The entrance is in Ashenvale at the north end of Zoram Strand. If you come in from Darkshore along the path to the west, it leads directly to the pool that leads to Blackfathom Depths. Watch out for stealthed and invisible satyrs among the naga. Bring some water breathing potions, or a warlock; you can do it all without, but a couple of areas will be tough if you forget.

In the south west corner of Silverpine Forest.

This instance is in the Barrens, south west of the Crossroads, just north of an oasis. The entrance looks vaguely like a skull; in the top left eye as you face it are some of the quest givers. You can only reach them by climbing up the hill above the skull, and jumping down carefully. 
 
Mobs are 15-21. There are relatively few linked mobs, although the deviate guardians will call for help, and   More ...

This instance is located inside Orgrimmar, in the Cleft of Shadow, and is intended to be suitable for levels 13-15. The Alliance don't have an equivalent instance, and can't share this one, as it can be rather difficult to access.

Be aware of all quests for an area before going there, which will involve some out of game research. It is more efficient to spend a little time out of game than to blunder around in game. You will also get more reputation from doing quests before they turn green. 
 
If you can, aim to grind on yellow mobs, ones that are your level or one or two levels below you. This seems to be what most class  More ...

 
This is in the Undead starting zone, Tirisfal Glades, in the east, north east of Undercity. Alliance have to run there from Southshore. Enter Alterac as far west as you can, north of Hillsbrad fields. Go from there west of Dalaran, heading north, into Silverpine Forest - you can swim across the lake, if you wish. The road north from Silverpine enters Tirisfal Glades in the south west; go past  More ...

Several early quests for here start in Darkshire and lead through Swamp of Sorrows: Watchmaster Sorigal - Supplies for Nethergarde, Watcher Biggs - Deliver the Shipment, and The Lost Supplies from the crates in the west part of the swamp. The last one is a repeatable quest. These should be done in your 30s or low 40s, at which level taking a shortcut through the armory (to the east of the zone   More ...

You get here by boat or griffon to Theramore Isle. Presumably you were here at an earlier level to register the flight path, and to complete the quest from Menethil Harbor, Wetlands: Red Eye Jack - Fiora Longears. This set of quests can be completed quite quickly, but will only give under a level at 39. 
 
Bring 3 soothing spices for Jarl; you can buy them in Theramore if you forget.

There aren't really any quests leading in to Feralas, so you can come here more or less whenever you are ready; 42/43 would be about the earliest that would be worthwhile. However, try to get: Yeh'kinya - Screecher Spirits, from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris before arriving if you can. If not, there are several points at which you will want to visit Gadgetzan while questing in Feralas, so collec  More ...

 
Camp Narache 
 
Start by looking around the camp for the first two quests: Grull Hawkwind - the Hunt Begins and Chief Hawkwind - a Humble Task. These are probably the only two tasks available at level 1. Head SE to the well (looks a little like a windmill), and hunt as you go. Once you have met the old lady, run back to camp.

You will be entering from the Barrens. Although it is possible to enter from Ashenvale, this isn't ideal for your first time. There is an inn and flight path in Sun Rock Retreat, some way up the main path leading from the SE to NW of the zone. 
 
Before you arrive, there are a few quests worth collecting: 
 
In Ratchet:  
Mebok Mizzyrix - Deepmoss Spider Eggs 
Sputtervalve - Ziz Fizziks 
 
In Crossroad  More ...

 
Leaving Mulgore, you should have the following quests:

Night Elf to Ironforge/Stormwind City 
 
There are two routes to Alliance territory: for both, start by taking the boat to Menethil Bay in the Wetlands. Of the two, the road route is better and much faster. 
 
The much shorter run is to head along the road (generally in an eastward direction) to Dun Algaz. Mobs on the roads are 22-23 or so, and mobs in Dun Algaz are 20+, but  More ...
