Power Leveling
World of Warcraft Powerleveling Rules of Thumb
Why add a powerleveling basics
guide? Great question, I added it here because I feel that if you
don't have the powerleveling basics down you will not powerlevel at
the speed you really can achieve. Just like learning anything you
must MASTER the fundamentals to really become a master. Just think
of this as a beginning mastery course for World of Warcraft
powerleveling!
1) Take as many quests as possible and at the same time, try not to
do quests one at a time. When entering a new area, find all the
quests from NPC's first, before you start killing things.
2) A complementary group of 2 or 3 (such as tank + healer) is
sometimes far better than solo'ing. Especially when a quest calls
for "kill X amount of something". Use groups when they suit you.
Leave a group when it bogs you down.
3) Play a Multi-Zone game. When you hit level 10 or so, its time to
run to the nearest "other" starting area and do the quests there.
You will do them fast, and get exp for all the kills (as long as
they are colored green to you) Doing a load of quests 3-5 levels
beneath you really racks up EXP fast.
4) Green quests are your friends! These are quests that are 2-3
levels beneath you. When I get a bunch of yellow colored quests,
sometimes I'll just 'level grind' 2-3 levels, then power through the
quests solo. It basically comes to this: If you are getting killed
more than once doing a single quest, you are wasting time- its
better to grind a level and do it later.
5) Dont be afraid to dump quests It's so tempting....you just don't
want to let go of that quest that's been in your books for several
days. It requires you to run around the world - see this person, see
that person...will take you 3 hours. Or that quest you forgot to do
way back in Elwynn Forest, and now you're all the way in the
Wetlands. DUMP IT. There are thousands of quests in this game.
Wasting 4 hours just to 'finish' that green or gray quest is not
worth it. Abandon that quest, and replace it with others.
6) Level Grinding still works! This is killing monsters that are
GREEN to you. Why Green? Because you kill them fast and with very
little down time. You can basically steamroll through dozens of
con-green enemies in minutes! Spend an hour or two doing this
(boring ya) and you'll see what a difference in EXP it makes! Small
EXP gains over a long period time really add up.
7) Decide if you are going for power or wealth (or both) before you
decide on your profession. Ask yourself, "will mastering this
profession take too much extra time and hinder my primary goal?".
Take professions that do not hinder you.
After playing World of Warcraft since beta, and logging in hundreds
of hours over numerous characters ever since, I can tell you from my
experience that the fastest way to level up and make cash is to take
as many quests as possible, and follow some basic principles.
