2 late leveling tips ORCS and Trolls , Alliance weapon training

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.

  1. Run up the hidden trail in the starting area (like going to the earth totem quest rock monsters) jump in the water… Die.
  2. You will rez at Ratchet (xp rewarded for explore) and get flight path.
  3. Run to Xroads (xp reward for explore) get flight path.
  4. Run to camp Taurajo (xp reward) get flight path.
  5. Run into Mulgore, die, Rez at Bloodhoof village (xp rewarded for explore)
  6. Run to Thunder Bluff (die close to TB) rez (xp reward for explore).
  7. Get TB flight path, Fly to Ogrimmar (xp reward for explore).
  8. Get Ogrimmar flight path.
  9. Hearth back to Valley of Trials.
  10. 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

  1. Go inside Shadowfang Keep
  2. Kill up to door opening guy.
  3. When he opens the door go in and clear the first area.
  4. There is a mostly dead undead guy to the right of the stairs.
  5. 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.

This only works for Alliance.

You forgot to get the Org flight point.

I thought you got it when you landed there auto?

Orcs and trolls know the Org flight point automatically, don’t they?

They do. OP still has a great plan to save a ton of time.

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.

never tried that, do they fight back?

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.

i mean you never know when you gonna need to what someone with your staff!

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.

They do not fight back. I have every weapon maxed on my hunter from this (yes, even throwing daggers).

that’s awesome, thanks! now i’ll totally do that.

This is DMN (tribute run basically)?

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.

Ewww

The OP’s plan has been used by horde since basically actual vanilla. EVERYONE did this on launch, pservers, and before Cata shattered the world.

The ally thing was new, though. That’s legit great.
