Orcs and Trolls:
This is very late but I thought this was well known.
IF you are leveling an Orc or a Troll you can at level 1.
Run up the hidden trail in the starting area (like going to the earth totem quest rock monsters) jump in the water… Die.
You will rez at Ratchet (xp rewarded for explore) and get flight path.
Run to Xroads (xp reward for explore) get flight path.
Run to camp Taurajo (xp reward) get flight path.
Run into Mulgore, die, Rez at Bloodhoof village (xp rewarded for explore)
Run to Thunder Bluff (die close to TB) rez (xp reward for explore).
Get TB flight path, Fly to Ogrimmar (xp reward for explore).
Get Ogrimmar flight path.
Hearth back to Valley of Trials.
Profit?
You should be level 3 and have all the major flight points.
I am certain someone will know why not to do this, but for me it makes later leveling much easier. If you are making a twink even moreso as you get the exp out of the way.
Alliance Weapon Leveling
Go inside Shadowfang Keep
Kill up to door opening guy.
When he opens the door go in and clear the first area.
There is a mostly dead undead guy to the right of the stairs.
Equip whatever weapon you need to level and set up an auto target attack macro and hit him until 300. He will die but he will rez instantly.
The best way to boost weapon levels is to run DMT and do NOT kill the king. Instead use the ghosts around the area as ‘target dummies’ which will level your weapon skills. To make things faster bring the fastest weapon of each type you can and load up on int buffs. You can watch youtube/netflix/whatever on the side while doing this easily.
i used to level weapons near the dark portal (one that opens to TBC eventually). mobs there go down to 0 hp then turn into glowie things that you can still hit but they don’t fight back for a while.
Trolls and orcs get Org FP by default, no need to fly anywhere.
Once you jump the Valley of Trials wall, just get the Ratchet, BB, Xroads, Camp T, and then TB FP’s. You can death warp in the barrens once you get close enough to the GY to save even more time.
Hearth back and you should be half way past level 1 if not level 2 when you get the TB FP.
Yeah, just get to the king room by any means, don’t kill the final boss (king). If you kill the king the spirits will be friendly (even before taking the king buff).
Just pick one and auto attack. Don’t go afk though, you’ll have to reconnect every now and again.
