Loot Locations: 0-20

To accompany our Levelling Locations series, here's a rundown of the instance loot you might want to angle for in your first twenty levels. This will be of particular interest to anyone trying the Test Realm Honour Competition, of course, as gear is a vital differentiator at these levels.

Key: Weapons and armour in bold are blue, all others are green. Due to the low number of available blues for this level range, they are especially desirable. To help you sort through the information, we've divided it up by type (weapon or armour) and proficiency (weapon category, armour material). Check out the blue items if you are looking for the best available.

This information comes courtesy of Allakhazam, Thottbot and wow-loot.com. If you are looking for the same information organised by class, then check out the Class Loot Lists which were very helpful in compiling this. Rather than copy the same information, we reorganised it by type for people who find it easier to search by proficiency than by class. Your feedback is welcome--if you would prefer just the blue drops to be listed, or a table format, let us know.
