Is it just me or is 40-50 the worst stretch of leveling

Like… Good lord once you get past 50 it feels like it’s all downhill, but 40-50 feels like a slog.

I’m struggling after hitting 30 with what feels like a massive slowdown so i’m in trouble haha.

I’m not sure about the idea that 50+ is easier, maybe it seems like that since you can start going through the endgame dungeons (BRD, etc.) then. But XP / level keeps going up and the quests get rarer all the way to 60. One trick is to try to keep doing mostly yellow - green quests a few levels (up to 5 levels) under your level all the way to 50, for example going through multiple 1-10 and 10-20 zones and/or filling some gaps with dungeon runs .

Why? There are great questing places and a ton of dungeons you can run with lucrative quests. I blast through 40s to 50s.

I’m with you on 40-50. Honestly it starts at 30 for me.

We’ve run through classic quite a few times now. It’s getting REALLY old for me.

It’s why I farm on my main to fund the boosts for alts. I can only do it legit once now.

The late 40s were definitely the biggest slog. After getting over that 50 hump though and grabbing Blackstone Ring so I’m not missing half of my attacks anymore, mindless questing actually feels satisfying again

No it is definitely 50-60. Not only do the zones suck (the plaguelands is BLEH) but it is also the slowest, and you 100% will run out of quests in the level 58-60, requiring you to grind mobs or dungeons (heck I’m already seeing this issue at lvl 32 on my rogue due to the leveling zones being to crowded).

To me 40-50 is always the worst part

Let that rested build up!

If you don’t run ZF and or Mara, you’ll probably end up having to grind mobs atleast as Alliance in the late 41-50 range. Alternatively, you can try higher level quests sooner, but you’ll eventually run out of quests and have to run dungeons or mob grind.

Horde may have to mob grind a bit less in the late 40s, but the Horde Hinterlands quests are inherently grindy, so they just get the boost from quests as well.
