Fastest way to level 85-90 (6.0.2)

[Neer]

As of the patch you can now level extremly fast through Archeology because the exp given wasn't nerfed for Archeology but the exp needed for a level was scaled down.
Currently at level 89 you can get 6.4k exp per dig at a digsite while a quest gives 12k, that means you'll get a lot more exp doing Archeology than quests.

To put it simple: If your toon is 85-89 go get Archeology and start digging.

Edit: Just read the reddit thread if you're confused dont be like Aki down there.

OUTDATED -

i was waiting for a leveling thread ope i can test before it gets fixed

Forgive me if I missed something but this doesn't seem like it would work. I believe you need 525 skill in Archaeology to even have digsites start appearing in Pandaria, and even if you happened to have a character that had that skill it would be extremely inefficient because you can't fly in pandaria until level 90 (again, unless I missed something in the update).

Edit: Went and read the reddit post. OP you should update your post to say that the digsites for the exp are in Eastern Kingdoms. I just assumed we were supposed to do this in Pandaria.

actually, this works on all levels. I am a 61 dk and it still gives me 6.4k per one lol

This is far from amazing, It's still quite slow. Lots of flying but I guess you can afk a lot of that flying too.

85-90 that is.

Back in cata one of the fastest ways from 80-85 was to do archaeology in uldum due to the fact that you never had to leave the zone... If I were you I'd try it there

Can you get digsites there at any arch level?

[kubu69]

would this work at lower levels?

[aamlord]

Tried this as 82 alt, 7750 per dig site and he just started alchemy just to gain fast xp.

[batok]

only works with rested exp, just ran out and got 3.2k per dig

[chronux]

not sure if this is worth it... won't you be running a long period when you need to change digsite?

I can also add that this is the easiest thing to bot and can be done for countless hours without bugs and stucks.

I guess that depends entirely on wich bot you use. Mine is almost useless after patch for Arch, gotta wait.

It works flawlessly with Honorbuddy, might not be the "quickest" but it sure as hell is one of the easiest! +rep

@leve 22 i get ~800 xp unrested (but with monk 50% buff) per dig.
With Pet Battles i get ~2500 xp and you dont have to travel
