↖ Rune System has been changed dramatically

The Rune system in Season of Discovery has totally changed how leveling happens. For example if you have a Druid, their starter zones come with powerful runes like Beast Mastery for Hunters, Sunfire for Druids or Living Flame for Mages. These runes can greatly aid your leveling speed and sometimes triple it! Make note of where these runes drop and aim at getting them as early as possible.

↖ Getting Equipped

Before you start your journey to level up, do the right thing by gearing up your character. Cheap bags and some green weapons would go a long way towards increasing your efficiency when fighting off enemies. A simple wand will do wonders for any caster. The goal here is to lower downtime while increasing damage output.

↖ World Buffs

Don't forget about world buffs such as Boon of the Black Fathom. It significantly enhances combat capabilities as well as increases movement speed by 20% which is critical when traveling between quests and zones.

↖ Best Zones for Leveling

Darkshore is the place-to-be for Alliance players since it has many quests and an efficient layout making it the best leveling zone among others. Horde players should spend their initial levels in Durotar then catch up with Barrens soonest they can.

↖ Running Dungeons helps to Level Faster

You can gain almost two levels per dungeon run with this method, and potentially obtain best-in-slot gear.

↖ World Buffs and Ashenvale PvP

Taking part in Ashenvale PvP events can also be very rewarding, as there are huge reputation gains and many useful items and wow sod gold long before level 25.

↖ Leveling Add-Ons

Try using the Rested XP add-on to have a step-wise leveling route. This tool tells you exactly where to go for quests and rune locations that are important.

↖ Advanced Techniques: Death and Logout Skips

Use deaths and logouts to travel through the world faster. This is especially useful in places with many caves, as it can save a lot of time spent on traveling.

↖ Ethical Dilemmas: Hyperspawn Farming and Boosting

The most controversial but most effective methods include hyperspawn farming and boosting. For instance, hyperspawn farming entails killing mobs that instantly respawn while boosting involves clearing dungeons by a Mage. In both cases, traditional gameplay is pushed aside in favor of fast leveling.

Closing Remarks

These strategies will help you reach level 20 faster than you ever thought possible! Keep in mind that Phase 2 will bring about an experience buff, paving the way for smoother leveling experiences thereafter. Following these tips will make sure your alts hit level 25 sooner than you ever thought possible allowing you to fully appreciate the wonders of Season of Discovery.
