lvl 1 - 20 fast lvling

[innova]

Heya, this is a trick I use when leveling up all my lowbies. (Note: In order for this to work, they all need to be on the same server. Not a problem if you're leveling to sell them, since people just transfer anyway!)

From level 1-20, there's not a TON of great gear - usually you'll just use what you loot, or use the AH to grab some greens. I've found that you can circumvent this and get VERY impressive stats/survivability/DPS on ANY class using a few tricks.

Basically, we're going to enchant WHITE gear to be impressive enough to hang on to for a while. Why do we go with WHITE gear? So when you've replaced it on one char, you can mail it back to your main/put it in your guild bank for the NEXT character you glide up to use.

Multi-Class:
These items are good for ANY class you make. These items will last a LONG time, sometimes even into your mid twenties or thirties, if you don't upgrade a lot.

Haliscan Pantaloons - Haliscan Pantaloons - Item - World of Warcraft
Crafted by Tailors. It has NO LEVEL REQ, 39 Armor, and is not even BOE.
Enchant:
Nethercleft Leg Armor (+40 Stamina, +12 Agility)
(Nethercleft Leg Armor - Item - World of Warcraft)
+400 Health, a lot of Dodge for every class, a lot of Crit for physical classes, and a lot of AP for Rogues/Hunters. This'll double/triple/quadruple your health alone, depending on your level. (Alternative: Clefthide Leg Armor - +30 Stam/+10 Agi and a lot cheaper)

Haliscan Jacket - Haliscan Jacket - Item - World of Warcraft
Again, crafted by Tailors. It has no level req, 45 Armor, and is not BOE. Best news yet - you can put an item level 35+ Enchant on it!
Enchant:
Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health (+150 HP)
(Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health - Spell - World of Warcraft)
+150 HP. Very impressive. (Alternative: Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats. +6 to all stats, so only +60 HP, but +6 to all the other stats - DPS, survivability.. everything. Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health - Spell - World of Warcraft)

Noble's Monocle - Noble's Monocle - Item - World of Warcraft
Reward from high level fishing quests. You might have to search around to buy one, they might be on the AH, but the only alternative is a 2000g set of goggles from Haris Pilton. Not really worth it.
Enchant:
Libram of Constitution (+100 HP)
(Libram of Constitution - Item - World of Warcraft)
This piece is going to take the most work. If you have a well geared level 70, you might (should, if you are any good) be able to solo the quest to get the item to enchant the headpiece with. (Alternatives: Any of the other green Librams. +8 to different stats and so on - +100 HP makes the most sense to me)

Class-Specific (Weapons):
Alright, there are a few discrepancies here in what you have depending on what class you're choosing. Casters get the most out of their weapon of choice.

Melee/Hunter:
Arcane Forged Shortsword (Arcane Forged Shortsword - Item - World of Warcraft) - Good DPS, decent speed.
Enchants:
+15 Agi, Crusader, or Fiery. Depends on your budget and class. For Hunters, +15 Agi definitely. For Rogues, Crusader/Fiery is fantastic, since you have instant attacks, but +15 Agi increases your dodge/ap/crit by a substantial amount. For Pallies/Shammies/Warriors, choose Crusader or Fiery depending on your finances. For Feral Druids, +15 Agi.
NOTE: I forgot that Keen Machete was a BoE, so be careful. Sorry about posting that. Arcane Forged is probably the best bet.

For Hunters, the +15 Agi weapon will last a long time. For the other classes, you'll really want to swap it out for a blue by 15-20. (I haven't crunched the numbers for when that weapon stops being effective compared to blues/greens that are available - feel free to.)

Caster:
Dirk (Dirk - Item - World of Warcraft) Can be bought anywhere. Your DPS doesn't matter, what matters is your enchant. Also, we choose a dagger over a staff because EVERY caster class can use a dagger, and it leaves room for an offhand.
Enchants:
Healing Power (Enchant Weapon - Healing Power - Spell - World of Warcraft)
- or -
Spell Power (Enchant Weapon - Spell Power - Spell - World of Warcraft)

Frankly, it doesn't matter which one you choose. They have 1 point of spell power difference (29 and 30) so just choose whichever one is cheaper/more available on your server.




Alright, those are the most important items. Now we get down to the rest of the stuff.

Cloak - Linen Cloak (Linen Cloak - Item - World of Warcraft)
Enchant: +3 Agility

Bracers - Vendor Bought White Bracers (I prefer cloth, since the armor is not a big deal and then you can use it ANY class you level up)
Enchant: +9 Stamina

Gloves - Vendor Bought White Gloves (Again, I prefer cloth, but it's up to you)
Enchant: +15 Agility (Even good for casters at lower levels - dodge)

Waist - Doesn't matter, can't enchant this piece.

Boots - Vendor Bought White Boots (And for the last time, I prefer cloth, but if you really don't level clothies ever, go with leather. Or mail if you only level pallies/warriors for some reason)
Enchant: +7 Stamina


TOTAL HEALTH AFTER ALL ENCHANTS: +810 Health (Plus some Agi and possibly spellpower)


Now, this may seem a LITTLE insane... a lot of work. But think about it - I get about 50% more XP with this stuff on a level 1-20 than I do without them. If you're only going to level up a char 1-20 once, then no, it's not worth it. But if you are CONSTANTLY leveling up characters, then this is VERY much worth it. You'll use these same items over and over and over.

Another benefit is I NEVER DIE. I can get three-four adds at once and it's not a problem at all... I just have a HUGE pool of health, and a great amount of DPS.

Hope this helped somebody!


Total Cost using WoWHead Averages:
372g-702g (depending on the price of enchants - 372g is if you go for the cheapest, Clefthide + Fiery, 702 is if you go for the best of the best - Crusader/Spellpower + Nethercleft are almost 400g more than the Clefthide/Fiery combo) plus tips for enchanting. If you're enchanting white BoE's, you can use an alt - therefore you can tip very little and not get a bad rep. So add another 10-20g for tips.

The Haliscan items you should be able to get crafted for negligble cost. The Noble's Monocle you SHOULD be able to find on the AH for 10-50g if you are patient. (Otherwise, contract some max skill fishers to do it for you. Best case, your high level can Glide fishing to max and do the quests. )

So reasonably, you're looking at ~400g to do this on the low end, and ~750g on the HIGH end to do this. Yeah, it seems like a lot, but when you realize that your farming bot makes 1-2k per night, it's not that bad. (Well, mine makes 2k+ a night.. hehe)

REMINDER: This is NOT FOR SOMEBODY who's only intending to level up a couple characters! This is for people who are constantly leveling up new characters to sell. For cost analysis purposes, divide the cost of the outfit versus the amount of characters you level. If you level five, it's only 150g per character *at the most expensive options*. 10 = 75g. 20 = 37g 50s. You get the picture. I'd store the outfit on an account you don't glide on if you are dedicated to selling accounts - that way you don't lose it.

Or you could just do RAF trial/main and not waste 1000g.

[Chief]

no matter what you shouldnt be dieing while leveling 1-20. but i can see how if your asian or something and its your job to repeatidly level chars from 1-20 then having a starting set of pew pew gear would be nice.

[Dalmaska]

i will try it sound good ^^

[stormer]

Whattaaa faaaaak is this? 1-20 in 5 hours OR Wasting 5hours trying find all these and 1000-2000g.

[Couwae]

__________

[wowjet]

This could turn out to be profitable when leveling a lot of characters.

But the way i see it, you could better RAF an account and sell the RAFed account afterwards. So you will make profit and leveling characters at the same time.

sigh people dont seem to get its actually harder to raf by setting it up/new comers trying to duelbox
anyway this is helpful and for people saying it fails then dont bother at all.
+rep for finding.

[DragonWaxter]

****ING C&P!! Leechers nowadays.....

[Sikas]

Or jus pick up gear AS you LEVEL?

How is that hard? You don't even have to dual-box the other character, just open up two instances of wow, set the 2nd character to /follow, and go about your leveling. You don't _have_ to have the 2nd character even cast. It's certainly easier, but not necessary.

[rocky4541]

dont worry about all the flamers, i thought it was very good, i used this guide just to leevel my twink to 19 and it turned out great, i can't understand why people go "arghhhhh i have to spend 500-2000g" you can use the items repeatedly and any level 70-80 should be making 500g a week atleast on the AH and with profs

well good guide mate ty +rep
