Some of the quests will require items which you will need to either craft or buy from the auction house. What I normally do is check a zone ahead of my character going there and buy then bank the items. Another method is to buy the required items with your bank character then mail them to you.
Here is a list of items you will need for some quests whilst you level between 20 and 40 that can easily be missed hence waste time obtaining.
Alliance
10 Lean Wolf Flanks – level 27; Duskwood
1 Bronze Tube – level 26; Duskwood
60 Wool Cloth – level 30; Darnassus, Craftsmen’s Terrace
4 Lesser Bloodstone Ore – level 32, Stranglethorn Vale
10 Turtle Meat – level 31; Thousand Needles (don’t worry if there are none on the AH it just means you’ll have to kill Turtles)
Keep any Green Hills of Stranglethorn pages – level 32; Stranglethorn Vale
1 Soothing Spices – level 35; Hillsbrad Foothills
Elixir Of Fortitude – level 38; Dustswallow Marsh (you will get this as a quest reward, keep it for a later quest)

Quests to Note
Alliance
A Watchful Eye (Elywnn Forest) – Starts at the Tower of Azora on the road between Elwynn Forest and Redridge Mountains.
Elune’s Tear (Ashenvale) – This quest has a chain. There is approximately 15 seconds of text before the next parts become available so don’t run off too quick or you will miss a quest.
Blisters on The Land (Wetlands) – Fen Creepers can be found in the shallow waters and are stealthed.
Missing In Action (Redridge Mountains) – This is at the northern edge at Render’s Rock where this is a cave entrance past some mobs. Once inside the cave stick to the left until you reach a room with a big pool. Clear the way and take the escort quest. The mobs here are close together so once outside the cave, he’ll stop to rest. Pull the camps yourself when you get outside or your escort will pull the lot.
The Wanted Tharil’zun and Gath’llzogg (Redridge Mountains) quests may require a group depending on how skilled you are. I have done these solo however when I first started I couldn’t.
Wanted: Lieutenant Fangore (Redridge Mountains) – Try to get around the mobs on the west side and position you behind him. There is group that is near him so wait until he walks away from them and pull 1 or 2 and move backwards while fighting. Remember these mobs run when about to die so use any slowing, root or stun ability.
The Cursed Crew (Wetlands) – Enter the boat through the hole in the side which is partially submerged in the water.
The Lost Chalice – When you hand this in there may be up to a 30 second delay for game text from a different quest just handed in.
Hints of a New Plague?part 2 (Arathi Highlands) – You are looking for a Forsaken Courier and several bodyguards. You have to kill the Courier and loot the envelope by using some means to distract the guards. The courier wanders on the road throughout the zone.
Recover the Cargo! (Dustswallow Marsh) – If you’re having difficulty locating these underwater they can been more clearly from the surface.
Horde
Vorsha the Lasher (Ashenvale) – Make sure you follow Muglash or the quest will fail. You will be taken to a brazier where you will have to fight 3 waves of mobs. Vorsha will be in the 3rd wave. If you die, don’t release, the NPC can sometimes finish him off without you and you’ll get credit for the quest.
Freedom to Ruul (Ashenvale) – This is an escort quest from a cave full of Thistlefur Avengers and Shamans and can be tough as they respawn quite quickly. Once outside try to control the pull as the NPC your escorting will more than likely pull entire camps.
Torek’s Assault (Ashenvale) – Protect Torek or the quest will fail. Let the other Orcs take the mobs.
The Tear of the Moons (The Barrens) – You have to kill a level 30 NPC who has other mobs around. Root, sap, stun and focus on the level 30. If you die run back in resurrect, loot quickly and pop a health pot. Without the level 30 the other mobs can be handled quite easily, just don’t panic.
Sharptalon’s Claw (Ashenvale) – You can lure him to the Forsaken camp who will assist in the attack. Just make sure you do most of the damage so you get the loot.
Battle of Hillsbrad Part 4 (Hillsbrad Foothills) – Clear the first 2 rooms, then pull the 1 mob which is on the left inside the room. Go back to the room behind you and hide behind a wall. This way the Councilman cannot shoot you from a distance but instead come to you. Then go to the big room and kill Clerk Horrace Whitesteed. Get back to full health then kill Magistrate Burnsidethen. Finally, destroy the Hillsbrad Proclamation and collect the Town Registry.
Battle of Hillsbrad Part 5 (Hillsbrad Foothills) – Foreman Bonds at 20% health summons 2 dwarves to guard him and they can stun you, so ensure you have a clear escape route if things don’t go your way.
Homeward Bound (Thousand Needles) – Watch out for a rare elite called Heartrazor. You can sneak past at the right moment however since you have no control over the NPC your escorting you may find this difficult.
Helcular’s Revenge (Hillsbrad Foothills) – Watch out for the guards they are much higher in level, will aggro easily and kill you.
Gelkis Alliance (Desolace) – Take this quest not Magram Alliance.
Questioning Reethe (Dustswallow Marsh) – You will have to deal with 4 level 35-37 NPC’s although the orge can take 1. Sometimes if you hit one just as the combat starts 3 will go for the orge, it’s happened a few times for me now. Be sure to kill quick and not let the orge die.
