Getting to level 80 is a grind; no one’s going to argue with that. It took me almost two years to level my first World of Warcraft character to 80 just so I could see the Wrath of the Lich King content. It took so long that I thought I might never level another character again! Fortunately, along the way, I picked up some really simple ways to level faster. And this time I was able to get to level 76 in a matter of days, not weeks, of in-game time.
Tip 1: Visit all three starting zones for your faction
If you’re Alliance, do all the quests in Dun Morogh, Azuremyst Isle, Teldrassil, and Elwynn Forest. If you’re Horde, make sure you pick up all the quests in Mulgore, Tirisfal Glades, Eversong Woods, and Durotar. You’ll get to level 5 quickly by doing the quests in your race’s start-up area. But before heading out to higher level areas, make the trek to the other two lowbie zones and do all their quests too. You get almost as much XP and the quests go much faster and easier because you’re stronger than the mobs.
Tip 2: Don’t do group quests
Just because a quest is there doesn’t mean you have to do it. Especially group quests. It takes time to round up people or wait for a group to form so you can go tackle Hogger. You can get a lot of other quests done in the time that you’d otherwise be waiting on other people which easily equals the same XP . Of course, if a group falls in your lap, don’t hesitate to jump in.
Tip 3: Kill mobs (and do quests) that are 2-3 levels below you
The XP difference between killing green-level mobs vs. yellow- or orange-level mobs is negligible. On top of that, you can kill many more green-level mobs during the same time period and with much more ease. There’s also less chance that accidentally pulling too many mobs will kill you when they are lower in level.
I found these things out — and a lot more cool stuff — when I tried this guide. I even wrote a special page that tells you how I did it, if you want to know more.
