When I arrived in Hellfire Peninsula, I didn’t feel confident in my gear or experience tanking to run Ramps or Blood Furnace, so I leveled by questing instead. I understand that was not the most efficient path from an Honor Hold rep perspective, but I felt it was the better path for me. I’d like to avoid doing it again, though.
I was able to get to Honored with Cenarian Expedition through plant turn-ins before questing in Zangarmarsh.
I’m now level 64. I prefer a mix of questing and dungeons for leveling. Im a little reluctant to start Terrokar quests but I don’t believe I’m the right level yet for dungeons that give Lower City rep.
Am I too low to start Nagrand? Im not even sure which rep Nagrand’s quests give. Am I better off just dungeon spamming for a few levels (not my preferred way to play, but I also would like to avoid playing catch up on multiple reps at 70)?
I did HFP and Zangar quests… with a few dungeon runs in between. That got me to 64ish… I barely touched Terrokar and did dungeons exclusively till 70…
I was revered with all the factions except Shatar at 68… got exalted with HH shortly after dinging 70… and when I hit 70 I got my flyer and started running Arc/Bot/Mech and was revered with Shatar in a handful of runs.
It’s nothing to stress about. Getting heroic keys is pretty easy… and I’ve got most of Terrokar plus Nagrand, BEM, SMV and Netherstorm left for gold quests. I did this on both my 70’s… I figure all those zones are worth 10k in gold quests… on each toon.
Thanks, all. I intend to proceed with more dungeon leveling, but I was hoping to be able to do some questing here and there when I have 20 -30 free minutes to spare without feeling like I’m making my rep grind harder in the long run. I have downloaded a couple addons that I hope will help and will also give Nagrand leveling a try (which doesn’t seem to have any major rep associated with it, unless I’m missing something).
My alt rush Nagrand at 64 to farm the resi gem. There are a lot of quest of “kill 30 of” and are easy to do. But overall, the rep is not a problem, you can always farm dungeons after you level cap.
