[Rogue/Druid] How to level from 40 to 51 in a day!

[danlol]

DISCLAIMER: I figured this out myself with a friend, and I have never heard about anyone else ever doing this! We tried to look for similar mobs for this trick but had no luck.
NOTE: You need a laptop or second PC and a high level healer to do this. Running two WoW apps can get risky due to late heals.

I originally wanted to make a video of this (almost 2 years ago, lol) but never really got around to it so I'm just going to write a guide for it instead. This is done in Stranglethorn Vale, and can only be done with a Rogue or Druid (never tried it on a Warrior, but it might work too).

The key to this trick is the NPC Zanzil the Outcast.
Zanzil the Outcast - NPCs - World of Warcraft

What this NPC does is it spawns two totems.
The first totem spits lava, destroy that immediately as you see it (use a macro if you must to target it)
The second totem is where the trick lies! The second totem continuously summons undead skeletons which are relatively weak and give a good amount of experience!

This is how you do it.

1.) You pull Zanzil out to the coastline where your healer is standing and targeting you (I had the healer on my laptop)
2.) DO NOT ATTACK ZANZIL! Just kill the skeletons and lava totems.
3.) After a while, you start to get a feel on how many skeletons you can safely handle. This varies between characters depending on gear and level.
4.) Once you get the feel for your limit on skeletons, kill the skeleton spawning totem BEFORE YOU APPROACH THE LIMIT! He will summon another totem shortly so dont worry.
5.) Heal yourself using your healer standby account whenever necessary.
6.) NEVER over estimate, it's always good to play it safe. Dont leave the totem up for too long as too many skeletons = BAD.
PROTIP: I made macros to target the skeleton totem and the lava totem to target and destroy them quickly if I need to. It gets hectic with a lot of skeletons up!

NOTE: TOO MANY SKELETONS WILL KILL YOU! KILL ZANZIL IF IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL, HIS RESPAWN TIME IS PRETTY FAIR.

For maximum efficiency, you never want to NOT have skeletons up, so make sure you figure out your limit quickly and try to stick to it.

I did this with a rogue 2 years ago, and a druid a year and a half ago, Combat and Feral spec respectively. I was able to level from 40-51 in one day.

Don't ask for rep.

[XxSleevesxX]

Mah interesting.

[jdismeuc]

you last did this a year and a half ago? you sure it still works?

[[M]illo]

You can also do it with other classes.

movie please

You can also do it with other classes.

I tried doing this is a priest and had no success. You're limited by your mana bar and you end up having to kill Zanzil and wait for him to respawn again, and that's not efficient at all.
Rogue/Druid are good for their infinite energy bars.

And yes, this still works.

Epic. +reprepreprep

ADMINS/MODS: Move this to elite guides so it doesn't get nerfed/whatever?

You can also get a higher level prot paladin to just sit there and consencrate every once and a while and then it wont really matter how many skellies there are that way some lower level healer can get use of it also. Of course warriors can do it also but i say prot pally because of the AoE and they heal and stuff when they block.

Oh yeah isnt there an elite guy in sunken temple that also does this?
I'm not sure who it is but he does drop a totem also
Jammal'an the Prophet - NPCs - World of Warcraft?
Kazkaz the Unholy - NPCs - World of Warcraft?
I dont know but its one of the i think 4 trolls you have to kill.

+another good thing is since you did it a year and a half ago, that means the the xp between lvls was higher because back then it was a lot harder to lvl up, But now, you can probably go higher (unless the guys ur killing turn grey at 52)

Mage AoE + Druids mana thingy = Win
