How to obtain "Well Read" as fast as 30 minutes. HORDE VERSION

PreparationTechnically, the only requirement is that you are level 33 so that you are able enter Scholomance. However, I highly recommend that you are at least level 60 for the following reasons:

•  You can buy a flying mount which will save a lot of time and if not, you will at least have access to all the flight paths, so travel by foot will be minimal.
•  You should be able to solo Scholomance. Otherwise, you will have to find a group to do it with.

A few tips before you get started:

• An addon that navigates you to waypoints is recommended, such as Carbonite, TomTom etc.
• Click on the links to see a map of where the book is if the description (in italics) is not enough to help you find the book.
• You do not have to read through the entire book, you only have to right click on it and see the first page.
• N = north, E = East, S = south and W = West. They will usually refer to a side or corner of the room you're in.
• Spend your time flying between locations reading up on the descriptions of the books you're going to find in the next location so that you don't have to keep switching windows.

Disclaimer: The time it will take you to find every book will vary depending on how fast you travel around and how fast you can find the book once you arrive. You will not complete it in under 30 minutes if this is your first time. Instead, it will probably take you about 45 minutes to an hour. However, I have timed myself doing the course with artisan flying and have completed it in only 25 minutes on my second try (not including time spent waiting for boat or time spent on the boot, about 4 minutes).
