There are a number of high priced World of Warcraft leveling guides on the market out there, and they each claim to get you to Level 80 in record time. While many of them work wonders, the truth is that you’re going to find leveling in World of Warcraft is much more dependent on a few key styles of gameplay, that when put together in the right order can greatly speed up your leveling speed naturally. A good World of Warcraft leveling guide should start out by telling you all of these important tips, boosting your speed and making your leveling process much easier.
Gameplay Tips
To start with, your character is going to level at a different speed depending on what class you are. Of course, you’re not going to create a Hunter or Warlock just because a World of Warcraft leveling guide tells you they level up the fastest, but if your sole goal is to have a Level 80 character, these classes are the fastest way to get there due to their very low downtime.
Other classes can be sped up as well though by selecting the right talents – ones that focus on reducing downtime and boosting DPS in battle. For example, while a Mage is notoriously hard to level because of their downtime early in the game, you will find that if you focus on Fire and Arcane talents for the first 15-20 levels, the DPS you start to put out will make up for the time you spend restoring mana and resting. Here are other good specs for leveling with each character class:
• Druid – Feral
• Hunter – Beastmaster
• Mage – Arcane/Fire
• Paladin – Retribution
• Priest – Shadow
• Rogue – Combat
• Shaman – Enhancement
• Warlock – Demonology/Affliction
• Warrior – Arms/Fury
In addition to choosing the right talent points and using them immediately (use a talent point every time you reach a new level, starting at Level 10), you can save yourself substantial amounts of time by cutting out time you spend at vendors or in cities. Ideally, you should never be in a major city except when you complete a quest. Here are some tips to help make this possible:
• Have a Mule Character – Create a Level 1 character that will wait by the mailbox and auction house in your major city. Whenever you have items to sell, send them there. You will make enough gold this way to cover your talent points and upgrades without having to do any farming or profession grinding.
• Upgrade Your Bags – The more bagspace you have, the less often you have to stop and unload them or fill up on supplies. In addition to having at least 60 bag slots, make sure to fill up every day on 2-3 full stacks of food or water, depending on your class’s need.
• Skip Professions for Now – If you are speed leveling, skip professions for now. They are time consuming and can be completed much faster later when you get your mounts and speed upgrades.
