Wrath of the WoW Leveling Guide

First there was “Vanilla” WoW. With the level cap of 60 and fondly (?) remembered by old timers. Then came the Burning Crusade, with its 10 new levels, new dungeons, new continent (the Oultands) and new gear (rendering much of the old gear obsolete, even the epic stuff.) With it came the Blood Elves and the Draenei.

Now we have Wrath of the Lich King. Wrath brings with it another 10 levels, another whole new continent to explore, new dungeons, new gear (which will obsolete our current gear,) and, of course, the Lich King himself.

Unlike the Outlands, the new continent, Northrend, doesn’t have any level requirement. If you want to send your level 1 explorer there then go for it. Mobs start at level 68 so if you actually want to fight something, then bring along a character of a little higher level. If you’re not high enough level yet then you should get to work.

For the intrepid explorer, who likes to poke around in all the new nooks and crannies of a new area, Northrend offers lots to see and do. If you’re the type who like to level a little faster be aware that the quests in Northrend, like all the other WoW quests, will send you all over the place. A little organizing of your quests will be needed to make your leveling efficient.

As usual, when you hit any new area and start grabbing quests you will note that they send you in all directions, some are local and some send you to other zones. Make a note of which quest sends you where and then figure out the most efficient path to hit those quests. If one, or some, of them take you to the big city wait until you have others in that city and/or you are going to be there anyway, Your class training is one example.

Once people started hitting level 60 they immediately noticed that quite a large number of experience points were needed to hit 61. The same is true for the new levels. 70-71 is something of a long haul, especially if you aren’t organized. If you approach thing willy nilly you will find that each level will take a long time.

Grinding, of course, is something that can be done, but with the loooong levels from 70 onward it seems to me that this will be extraordinarily dull. Take whatever stash of Mountain Dew, pizza, and tunes that you laid in for your pre-70 grind fests and triple it.

You will find that some people hit 80 very quickly after starting Wrath. They don’t do it by grinding or by doing quests randomly. The fastest of them will have leveled characters in the beta test, probably more than one, so already know the routes. Some will use a leveling guide, written by someone who’s done the 70-80 route, probably several times, and laid it all out.

One thing that will help you on your travels is to grab a WoW addon called “Cartographer.” This addon lets you set waypoints which are a big help in finding your way around whichever zone you happen to be in. Grab a quest, locate the area that you want to be in, set a way point, and follow the arrow on your main screen. Cartographer also has the maps for the battlegrounds and the dungeons.

Need info on a quest that the quest log just doesn’t provide? Thottbot.com has details on all of the quests, of any level. Have a question about where to go or what to do? Thottbot.com has the answers. Make it a point to read the comments under the quest data. That’s where the really juicy info is located.

If you haven’t already made that 70-80 (or 1-80) run yet then things can get a little confusing from time to time. If you treat yourself to a pre-written leveling guide then you can eliminate the confusion and just level. These guides are put together by people who have already been there and done that and learned to do it in an efficient manner. A guide will point you in the right direction, tell you where to go and what to do, and cut a whole lot of time off of your leveling speed.

Better yet is if that guide acts as part of the game itself. So not only do you know where to go and what to do, you’re reminded of all the details that you need to know about the quest. Better yet is if the guide updates itself. So once you finish a quest the guide updates to the next one, automatically, resetting the waypoint arrow as well. Even better is if the guide remembers where you left off. If you leave the game for a couple of weeks, or don’t play a certain character for a long time, the guide will pick up right where you left off.

Best yet is if you never have to leave the main screen, look at your quest log, consult Thottbot or any other website, and can just go from quest to quest, bang, bang, bang. Zygor’s Guide does exactly that. It’s a fully automated in-game guide that will get you leveled faster than anything else out there, because it eliminates all the time spent looking things up.

Zygor’s in-game leveling guide answers all the above concerns and its automation is head and shoulders above any other in-game guide available.
