Many quests can be finished more quickly and safely with the help of a good group. Groups allow you to go places that you would otherwise not be able to go (and survive) by yourself.

Group finding Options

Easiest - General Channel
Use the General Chat channel to list the quests you're looking for help on. Other people with the same quests might want to team up and work together to complete the quests.

1. Join the General chat channel ( /join general).
2. Open up your quest menu with "L".
3. Now look in your quest log for the quests you want help on.
4. Hit enter to open up your chat enter/typing box.
5. Now type "/1 Looking for Help on " (with space)(Make sure General is channel 1. If it's some other number, type that number instead.)
6. Now select the quests you want help on and hold down the shift button and left-click on the titles of the quests you want to post.
7. When you are done add any other text you wish to add and hit enter.
8. This will produce the following (varies depending on your quest): General: Looking for a group for Scrounging, Stranglethorn Fever, Agmond's Fate, and An Ambassador of Evil. Please send a message if interested in teaming up!

Quite often other people are also looking for help. They're in the same situation you are. If you don't get a response, try again later. Do not spam the general channel with your requests. For more details on the rules please read the Terms of Use.

Who
Type /who or hit O and then click on the Who tab. At the top of the window you will find a check box for "I would like to join a group". Place a check in this box. Now whenever people search for players they will see "looking" under the party header next to your name. They may invite you to join a group. You will likely find that asking in the general channel will get better results but it doesn't hurt to try.

Ask For Groups in Popular Areas
Sometimes it's good to start asking for a group in areas where players hang out. Main cities such as Stormwind are a good place to ask.

Guilds
Guilds are a great source of help. You should consider joining a guild because you might have an easier time getting help and finding groups. This of course depends on the quality of the guild you join. If it doesn't work out, leave the guild and find another one!

Meet Up On Site
Sometimes after traveling to a quest location you might find players already there. Ask them if they want to team up. For collection quests (collect x skins) people might not want to team, but for other quests, people will often like help. Give it a try. If you have two parties, see if you can merge the parties into one group!

Finding More Party Members
Once you have several members in your party you can continue to ask for members in the general channel (as long as it is not spammed) or you can use the who system to find out what players are not grouped in the same zone. You can send a private message to those players and ask them if they want to team up. Be aware that some players consider this rude and may not respond.

These tips should help you have an easier time finding groups. Party on!
