↖ Get Even More XP & Speed

Take advantage of the following options to further boost your XP gains:

• Draughts of the Tan Lands: This hour-long 10 % XP potions can be purchased with account-wide currency. Use them on your alts to maximize your leveling speed.
• War Mode: Enable War Mode for an extra 10-20% XP boost while questing. Be cautious of PvP encounters but note that many players who have War Mode enabled are focused on leveling and may not engage in combat.
• Heirlooms: Equip heirloom gear and upgrade them as much as you can afford. These items provide XP bonuses and make leveling faster.
• Heirloom Maps: Purchase heirloom maps for each continent you'll be visiting. Having flight masters unlocked in these areas will save you time and effort.

 

↖ How to Level Fast?

Dungeons are considered the fastest way to level, with The Burning Crusade (TBC) dungeons being the most efficient, followed by Wrath of the Lich King (Wrath) and Cataclysm dungeons. Here's a recommended approach:

• Start with TBC dungeons for fast queue times and speed. Swap to Wrath and Cataclysm dungeons once you've completed all the dungeon quests in TBC.
• Tanks and healers have instant queues for dungeons, making it the ideal role for fast leveling. If you're a DPS, be prepared to do some questing while waiting for dungeon queues.
• Mist of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor zones are also viable for questing, but the dungeons in Warlords of Draenor offer less XP compared to other expansions.

 

↖ Efficient Questing

Questing can be faster than dungeons if you have the right route and approach. Here are some tips:

1. For Alliance players, the Cataclysm zones via Chromie Time are the fastest to level through. Zones like Redridge Mountains, Duskwood, and Loch Modan provide a significant amount of XP.
2. Kill rare mobs that spawn while questing, especially if you have a rare scanner or addon installed. These rares often drop experience equivalent to completing a quest.
3. Take advantage of the Warlords of Draenor intro quests and the first few quests in Shadowmoon Valley, Spires of Arak, Talador, and Gorgrond. These zones provide fast XP gains.
4. Chromie Time scales the world, so you only need to switch expansions if you specifically want to experience different dungeons.

 

↖ Leveling from 60-70

Consider the following options for efficient leveling in this range:

• Look at your Lorewalker achievements and target the zones you still need to finish. This allows you to earn XP while completing achievements.
• Time-walking dungeons from Mists of Pandaria (MoP) is a great way to level from 60 to 70 quickly. These dungeons can be completed rapidly and offer substantial XP rewards.
• Crafting can also grant you a level from 69 to 70 efficiently.
• Alternatively, queue for regular dungeons in The Burning Crusade (TBC) expansion. While questing between dungeons, you can gain additional XP.

 

↖ Addons & Vibes

Optimize your gameplay experience with the following tips:

• Turn off unnecessary addons and UI elements to reduce clutter on your screen. Only keep essential information visible.
• Increase your ambience and enable music to enhance the immersive experience.
• Consider using addons like Leatrix Plus for auto-accept and auto-turn-in quests. Immersion is a useful addon for a more enjoyable questing experience.
• Zoom in your camera slightly to appreciate the details of the game world.

 

↖ Best Classes to Level

Certain classes have received recent updates or reworks, making them ideal choices for leveling during this event. Consider the following options:

• Paladin: The Paladin rework has made it an excellent class to level right now. Take advantage of this opportunity to experience the changes firsthand.
• Shadow Priest: While less significant than the Paladin rework, Shadow Priests have also received updates that make them a viable choice for leveling during this event.
• Mage: Patch 10.1.5 introduces a rework for Mages. If you're interested in the class and enjoy playing spellcasters, leveling a Mage could be a great option.

 

↖ Maximizing Rep Gains

To make the most of the 50% reputation boost, focus on maximizing your renowned progress. Follow these tips:

• Forbidden Reach Daily Buff: Each day, you can acquire a 10% reputation buff for one of the four main renowned factions. Take advantage of this buff to target the factions you're behind on. Unlocking the Way Gate in the Forbidden Reach will make traveling easier.
• Side Quests: Dragonflight's side quests reward a significant amount of reputation. If you have any remaining side quests, complete them to boost your reputation.
• Weekly Events and World Quests: Engage in the usual weekly events tied to renown and complete world quests associated with them. For example, Siege and Wrathion Civilian dailies for Valdraken Accord, Community Feast and Fishing Hole dailies for Aspirant's Quarters, and bi-weeklies for Maruk Centaur.
• Dragon Scale Expedition: If you still need to collect all the flags, now is the perfect time to do so. Each flag turn-in will grant a massive infusion of reputation, especially with the 50% boost.
• World Quests and Other Factions: Take advantage of the reputation boost to complete world quests for other factions you're interested in. Explore old reputations and unlock rewards with less effort.
