GunshoesSkystep PotionXA-1000 Surface SkimmerBattle for AzerothI finished Exile's Reach at level 12 due to heirlooms and the amazing amount of experience from rares and bonus chests, after which the game takes you to Stormwind and into Battle for Azeroth content. The alpha has a lot of bugs and a few broken questlines, so you can't actually skip the Boralus intro quest, but I made up that time easily enough. I specifically chose to do nearly all of Tiradarde, as it only has one major RP component with Flynn; I skipped the S.E.L.F.I.E. quest, but opted to do the Norwington Estate riding quests because while both are tedious, the Norwington is significantly faster.

After finishing Tiragarde, I completed the Zuldazar and Vol'dun war campaign pieces which both have a relatively low amount of travel time and RP, before heading to Drustvar, taking a very basic route similar to Azeroth Auto Pilot - hitting the southern quest hubs and bonus objectives before circling back north and reaching level 50 just before the Trogg quests.

It's also important to note that nearly every treasure chest gives half quest experience now, which makes BFA leveling much quicker. Leveling Azerite is also item level 56, which is very strong, although you'll want to continually swap them with Heirlooms for quest turn in. All in all, level 12-50 in Shadowlands requires about the same amount of BFA content as level 110-120 on live... though on live you also have flying, enchants, consumables, and a +100% experience buff.Choose Your Own AdventureShadowlandsBattle for AzerothThe Burning CrusadeWrath of the Lich KingCataclysmWarlords of DraenorLegionBattle for AzerothShadowlands

Comment by NurutikiI am so looking forward to revamped leveling... taking myself to zones i love and going to almost max in less than a day. Even now, 60-80 by itself takes almost 2-7 days for me with questingComment by DesMephistoPretty excited to see what will be in the coming months with leveling in the alpha :DComment by TinyRaptorSuper excited to see how leveling will play out in other expansions, especially in Warlords or Pandaria. Major props to Des for testing the levelling!Comment by ShryWith this XP buff leveling right now is super fast, I took my shaman from 58-70 in just hellfire (I did sprinkle in dungeons, and the 2 arena quest chains) I get the feeling TBC leveling will not be the fastest, however for me it is the most enjoyable, and glad that we will beable to enjoy some of the forgotten questchains, like the epic chain in SMV, and all of netherstorm

Also do we know how Legion works, since there are no weapon drops are they adding in some weapons, or are we still using an artifact?Comment by Matrixwolfwe al lknow blizzard will nerf this now that it is on wowheadComment by ArchimtirosWith this XP buff leveling right now is super fast, I took my shaman from 58-70 in just hellfire (I did sprinkle in dungeons, and the 2 arena quest chains) I get the feeling TBC leveling will not be the fastest, however for me it is the most enjoyable, and glad that we will beable to enjoy some of the forgotten questchains, like the epic chain in SMV, and all of netherstorm

Bonus objectives give tons of xp

Gorgrond is a massive xp festival

Garrison vendor sells 20% xp buff

Spires of Arak outpost gives another 20% xp buff

Other outposts give very useful combat enhancements

The whole continent is filled with treasures giving a lot of xp

Environment is very friendly to ground mounts as flying arrived in the last patch

Comment by KelrasI hope this is wholly intended. Blizzard did say exp gains were a bit different on the alpha, but that may be simply for 50-60 content.

Anyway, it's good to finally create a char and not feel like you have to level for a week before you can jump into content. And you can also just jump into one expansion, finish it, and reach cap, which feels a lot less chronologically weird.Comment by ZygosWoD will be the fastest expansion to level into without any doubt:

On Live with the 100% xp buff i was able to do 90-103 by just doing bonus objectives. The xp is massive!Comment by ChaosDecidesSpeed leveling, AKA how to get bored with a game that much faster.Comment by madar222OFFTOPIC

Well to be fair, on one Twink I was even playing healer, and I told him "Pull more", and he answered me that he is the tank and he can do w/e he/she wants.

Then I got kicked out.
End of the Story, sad life.Comment by KillshottIMO I think quick lvling will be good for game generally, not only mention new players. The old ones and hardcore riders in breaks between Raiding / M+ / hi-rating PvP will be able to play old content for questline stories / achievements / runnig with friends from the opposite faction / new challenges like ironman , also possibility to quickly catch up your friends in guild if they need a new "healer" character "RIGHT NOW" for dungeons or raiding / pvp comps.

Sky is the limit , ppl in WoW...they are very creative

New players will learn to play in they own time without pressure from "older" wow friends ("coz you know WoW starts on max lvl" etc etc) to lvl faster and they will be less stressed and discouraged by long lvling and monotony. Like in fps games - you spend x hours in single player for story and overall tips how to play then jump into mmo madness and that's fun!Comment by comiWoD will be the fastest expansion to level into without any doubt:

Seems like they could have just skipped the leveling altogether and just give you a max level character. -.-
