Leveling Speed

Hi guys,

I’m wondering how people are leveling so fast from 10-50?

I see people claiming 6-8 hrs. WHAT?!

It takes me 1-2 hrs per level as a Druid and I’m in Draenor atm with Heirlooms (6-piece) Rested Xp Bonus.

So…HOW? ty

You must get side tracked a lot. Just make a bee line for every quest and objective and spam dungeons. Im at 18 hours and lvl 46 on an alt, a lot of that is being afk while I take smoke breaks and eat too

Yea, I went from 12 to 18 just doing the intro and setting up the garrison. Was like 30 - 40 mins

add ons, guides, or a very practiced knowledge of the terrain. Prepping as well.

I’ve done 1-50 in 11:03 /played (lvl 44 heirlooms, no consumes or enchants, hardly any rested, no warmode), 1-10 was 43 minutes so that translates to ~10:20 for 10-50.
I don’t claim to be the fastest leveler, and I know that there is a guy that goes crazy with all cheezy stuff and can do it in like 6 hours. But all the know-it-alls on the forums talking about 6-8 hours are full of it. I don’t think the average player is gonna level anywhere close to 6-8 hours with only heirlooms.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it.

1 day 8ish hours here…

but I took multiple engineerings up high enough to use my toys so that added A LOT of time in mining/crafting.

I’m assuming most people would be around 12-14 hours when focusing on purely leveling. That’s been my experience at least. The 6-8 hour levelers are the ones that theory craft perfect routes and what not.

My priest is 37 right now and I would guess I’m sitting around 9-10 hours. I’m not going the optimum route though so its taking me a little longer.

I’m having a ball getting 40 toons from 45 to 50 doing legion content - invasions and argus.

I skipped bfa entirely, both the expac and the zones. I can play Legion forever. Its slow but i’m luvin it! I will do bfa on any1 toon for the cheeves someday.

be in queue for a dungeon, and never not in queue

usually one level per dungeon

11

Who? Are they claiming that THEY leveled that fast or that the worlds fastest speed leveler who isn’t them and isn’t indicative of leveling speed at all leveled that fast?

This is my furthest along character

If it’s taking you 1 to 2 hours per level you must be afking an awful lot because that’s the only way I get near 1 hour for a level lol. Just literally quest and throw some dungeons in there if you want :man_shrugging:

1-10 :43
10-20 2:21
20-30 3:54
30-40 6:55
40-45 8:55
45-50 11:03

is how it broke down for me.
around 25 min per level average, in the 40-50 range, faster in the earlier levels.

I’ve read typical is 12 hours for Draenor up to 24 hours for the slowest expansions. I am taking my time playing with daughter who has never seen Draenor before. So watching every cutscene and reading every quest. 10-19 in 3 hours, equates to 3 levels per hour.

I did this recently in 6:39:22.

BUT

  1. Full Herilooms.
  2. Class that I already know how to play perfectly with my eyes closed.
  3. Plate Melee, mass pulling, no down time for resources or healing of any sort.
  4. Addon “Azeroth Auto-Pilot”. This addon alone contributes to more than 40% of the fast time. It puts you on a straight path to follow, avoiding unnecessary and lengthy quests. It also auto-accepts and auto-turns in upon clicking NPC’s and auto-chooses highest vendor quest reward. This cuts A LOT of time.
  5. I knew the zone I picked like the back of my hand, every corner, every quest, every town.
  6. I always had the max/best transportation available at all times. Chauffeured to mount to fast mount to flying to fast flying. Priority over anything else.
  7. I had vendor mount, and I had all deep sea bags from the start to lower time emptying bags and such.
  8. Zero bgs, zero dungeons. Quest give the most experience.

Say what?

1 to 2 hours per level, as you serious?

I don’t know about all druid specs, but I leveled as a feral druid in this pre-patch and it was awful, definitely felt weak and a little slower.

Draenor is supposed to be the fastest zone to level in, but personally I don’t like draenor so I level mostly in BFA (with BFA flying) and I never have a level that takes more than 30 mins. Maybe you would level faster in a different zone that you enjoy more, and are more familiar with?

Heirlooms aren’t that great anymore, I use them because they scale and the regen bonus is actually useful. I hardly ever have rested so that bonus isn’t super useful. Heirlooms help, but don’t give anywhere close to the advantage they used to.

Play a tank. Spam dungeons.

18

use azerite auto pilot. a mix of certain quests, picking up toys and doing bonus objectives.

19

Fill your quest log. Finish those quests. Drink an experience potion. Turn them all in. Rinse, Repeat.

spam dungeons as tank or healer. Just questing will be about 20 hours (slower in zones before MoP)
