Best Ways To Level

[Senzuri]

In WotLK i think u can quest a lot, the quest rewards are good and the quests are not so boring.

I dunno, I'm kind of having a hard time finding the motivation to level in WOTLK. I'm going to try and get a few levels this week though.

I'm a begginer so that was really useful thread

Im a level 70 pally now, im 2 bars from 71, the best way to level in my opinion is to quest, because you dont just get xp you also get good gear and you dont have to waste all your gold on AH junk. I love to BC raids but I dont do any instances because its just a waste of time until you get to 80

i think it is best to just do quest and kill mobs that i level up 40 levels on trial account lol

I was lvling to 38 normal then my friend boosted me in ARMORY there u can get about 10k xp per run. Me and my friend finish istance in 5 mins so 10k/5 min he was BM hunt but i am warr and that is same in boosts...
I was leveled like that to 45 lvl

Which instance/place was this? Interests me, and what level do you think your friend was?

Wouldn't mind doing this with a really high lvl char if it was possible to get that 10k/5mins.

The instaces he mentioned is Scarlet Monastery, Armory section of it. And you shouldn't go there in 2 and try that unless you outlevel (40+) and outgear it.

AoE grind is good

This is all if you want to get to 80 ASAP.

Instances:
No because the amount of time waiting on others/wipes is just more time lost.

Boosts:
Again it all depends on who is boosting you, unless you have alot of rested XP imo its not worth it having to wait around on your friend is still time lost.
Only time i would get a boost myself would be for ring of blood at 65 Nagrand and Of blood and anguish at 75 Zul'drak?

AoE:
What can i say it cant compete with my next suggestion, besides you will be having to TWINK every 5 levels to make this worth while and was only ever good before blizzard buffed XP.

winner = QUESTING

you do not have to wait for others, the only person slowing you down will be yourself, i suggest you get a decent in game leveling guide like Zygor guides and follow it like a crazy christian does his bible. Blizzard buffed all XP for quests up to WoTLK, so get questing.

Wow. The various comments are really interesting read. Make me think a lot when my character going to reach the level.

Im leveling a human mage atm
I just quest and kill everything I see!

[Skream]

As said with other posts, the best way to level in WoW is to quest.
Now if I were you, and didn't want to go completely insane, might I suggest a reallllllllly long playlist of songs, audiobooks, or possibly a DVD player set up to help speed up time if your going to quest all the way to 80.

Yet, once in a while instances are fun to do as mages, you can stay in the back and do nothing while you watch others fight for your exp ;D (just dont do nothing for too long).

Audio books ftw if ur following a guide. Btw for anyone who does not have a lvl 80, i highly suggest not following guides for your first toon. My reasoning behind this is that following directions for days of playtime gets boring (boring + wow? nvr thot id ever say it) and most people lose interest in the game fairly fast. After you lvl up ur first 80 by yourself, if you want other toons go on ahead and use guides. Your playtime to 80 will most likely halve compared to your first character but again it requires patience.
Audio books are amazing if you are following a guide tho

They have changed the game to make questing the fastest way to level to I would not mess about grinding for hours unless you have a bot to do it for you. To run the quests the fastest way possible g=et the following add-ons:

1. Zygor Guides
2. Cartogropher (or TomTom)

They will help like you would not believe. Also get a speed leveling guide to make sure you skip the long out of the way quests that do not give enough exp for the time you put into them.

Then you install the 2 add-ons. One is a mapping add-on which is a must have if you want to use any guides or online help since everyone answers questions with the Coords. Then buy or d/l from a torrent site the Zygor guides add-on which is basically all the quests and an arrow that points to where to go next style of thing.

You could just use the map add-on and Zygor but you will be doing every quest so if you really want to cut out any B.S. get a speed leveling guide too. Personally I think that would be over kill but what do I know.

If you need help finding the add-ons PM or reply and I'll get you a couple sites.

+Rep if this was any help so I know to take the time later on.

Zygor Guides (or just plain Questhelper)
and TomTom are my favorites, my record lvl'ing time was 4days 5hrs 1-70 back in tbc days.
my longest was 18days 1-60 in wow classic(I only found out what addons were when I reached lvl 55 or something back then )

I haven't done a full 1-80 yet but I found stuff like
this site Ding80's Alliance Leveling Guide & Horde Leveling Guide very up2date and i'm currently using that.
