Have you ever wandering around without any solid idea on what to do in order to cut your leveling time? I have done it before, and it ain’t pleasant at all. I’m SURE that a better method to level my character, get up to date gears, and gain sufficient gold exist; I’ve seen my friends did that. The problem is I don’t know how they manage to did that.
Fast forward a couple of months of tirelessly research, I found some methods for WoW quick leveling:
1. Find an Inn or Capital City before log out
Cliché method, but for a player who cannot log in everyday like me, the rested XP system is quite valuable asset.
If you are in an Inn or capital city, your player portrait will glow and your level circle will say zzz. This sign indicated that you are resting; just log off there and your character will stay rested while you are offline. Every 8 hours resting, you will get one bar of rested XP which is equal to 5% of a level.
2. Ask higher level player to run me in dungeons
A common method in almost all MMORPG. The basic is ask someone with higher level to group with you, kill some high level monsters in high level dungeons, and get the shared experience points. It is an easy way to level up in very short time. The cons for this method is you will have high dependance to other player, thus you can’t do anything without them. If the high level character is not your friend, you will have to offer him other benefit such as gold or items. How to gain such things at low level? Read Warcraft Millionaire review for the answer.
3. Questing with an optimized quest series
There are massive quests in WoW and doing a series of selected quests in the right order is the fastest way to achieve maximum level. The challange is identifying the quests that offer significant rewards and can be done while completing other quests. It is really vital to be time efficient; you don’t want to running around finishing one quest while you can finish two at the same time!
Well, unless you are eager to spend your time researching and testing quests, I suggest following a guide for this method.
You can also mix some dungeons and instances solo for extra experience when your level is below the next quest requirement. Using a class with more endurance will also help; for example: 1) Hunter since he has pet; 2) Paladin, Shaman, and Priest since they have healing skill. Hunter is the most recommended class for newbie, read about the basic at WoW hunter guide.
Summary
Questing in an optimized order is the fastest way to level your character, period. When you already have a trusted guide for that, you have solved 80% of your leveling problem. All that left is invest your time and effort to follow the guide. Read about a guide that can help you completing this task at Team iDemise Review.
