Looking for tips on how to level your characters as quickly as possible, with as little fuss as possible? Getting frustrated by corpse runs and being constantly forced to stop and rest between mobs? Don’t worry, this guide is here to help!
Knowing your class is probably the single biggest thing you can do to improve your leveling time, but it would be impossible to detail specs and strategies for every single class in the game here, so make sure to look up some class-specific information after you read this. My blog also has occasional posts about leveling specific classes, so you can check that out too.
Now, I’m a big fan of using leveling guides, but there is a problem a lot of them share not only with each other, but with inexperienced levelers, so this is the first thing we’ll talk about. The problem is, not all classes are created equally as far as leveling goes. Hunters, the class of choice for most guide writers, are able to destroy with ease mobs that would kill anyone else. So what you need to do when the content is too hard, is grind or instance a few levels, and get to the point where you are only fighting mobs lower level than you.
Minimizing downtime is another secret to quick leveling. This means you need to use mana and health-conserving tactics. Casters, use your wands! Hybrids, use melee specs! And if you are losing health quickly, start using crowd control abilities such as stuns and snares. If you are losing more than 15% of either to a single mob, you are probably doing something wrong. And don’t forget to carry and use Food and Water!
One thing that can slow people down is being under-geared. Make sure you are wearing good gear for your level; you can get it from the auction house, quests, or instances, but don’t let your gear fall behind. (Speaking of instances, make sure to use the new Dungeon Finder system to do level-appropriate instances. They are great experience per hour AND provide amazing gear.)
Of course, speaking of the AH: Don’t spend all your time visiting the city to buy/sell things! Use an alt instead. Just mail everything you want to sell to him, and mail everything you buy back. Also, be sure you are selling EVERYTHING of white or better quality on the AH, other than food and water. This will give you more than enough gold to buy everything you need or want.
