It needs to be 2x faster

What did you do to get there? Heirlooms obviously, but did you quest or do dungeons?

44

How long “should” leveling from 1 to cap take in a game like WoW?

45

4 hours judging by the responses in this thread. Possibly less.

Mainly questing. I did a few dungeons. Like 3 or 4. If I’d done more it probably would have been much faster. And yeah, used heirlooms.

I didn’t use any of those new 10% xp potions though. I actually didn’t even know they were a thing until I heard about all the people being banned for using an exploit with them. But I will definitely buy some for when I level my zandalari.

Leveling was the absolute best before they mucked it up in 7.3.5. Before that patch leveling was tolerable. The recent fixes help but it doesn’t approach how good it was prior to 7.3.5.

I disagree. I much prefer it with the scaled leveling across all zones. I can level 1 - 60 much more efficiently now, being able to complete the nice, compact low level areas. Areas originally designed around no or slow mounts. And with the recent massive reduction to xp required between 60 - 80, that too is now much more efficient. Before you had to do outland. And outland is balls.

I haven’t actually done it after all the changes since I had every class at 110 and only did it for the heritage armor for void elves. So far I haven’t had any interest in leveling another toon since the ridiculousness that was the 7.3.5 patch, and prior to this recent patch where they removed the server cap I couldn’t do it anyways unless I wanted to do it on a different server. I’m hoping alliance get a cool race like the snake people that peaks my interest in doing it as I’d be curious to try it out.

Before 7.3.5 you could efficiently and quickly dungeon level until around 80. That got destroyed.

51

Can dungeon level now…I must have missed the patch notes where they automatically throw you into exp off when you click on the eyeball.

52

:neutral_face:

It was MUCH more efficient and quick prior to 7.3.5.

53

How so? You can still do that. But what are you going to do in between? Unless you’re really into origami you may as well do quests. They’re not mutually exclusive. They compliment each other.

54

Said those stacking 70 exp pots… and are now banned for the next 20 or so days.

Depends. Before allied races you were lucky to have sub 20 minute queue times as a dps. You just going to twiddle your thumbs for 20 minutes? If you were a tank or healer of course it was faster, but for dps even before 7.3.5 it was close to a 50-50 split with dungeons probably having a slightly bigger half when you get a fast dungeon that also gave a lot of exp (looking at detention block and sunken temple).

56

I agree the dps queues were crap at that time but if you leveled any hybrid class you could just power through 15-80 in like 10 hours or so.

57

Or rogue… stealth is OP for leveling avoiding unnecessary mobs.

58

Yea rogues/feral druids are awesome for leveling.

59

Druid is better especially post level 58. Flight form trivializes ALL forms of world content.

60

Oh IK with my KT druid i have at lv 73 right now.

But still rogues are really fun.

61

I’d say 45 hours is good enough for a new player . It pretty much keeps them occupied for 2 - 3 weeks

For ppl wearing heirlooms and using exp boosters its should be like 12 or under to be considered fast
