Outland Leveling Guide

[wonz]

Is there any Outland Leveling Guide around?

Brought lots of teams up to 60 now (and still do.. getting RAF Bonus as long as possible)

[Fuzes]

all quests @ hellfire pensula -> all quests in that swamp area -> all quests in nagrand -> netherstorm till 68 .. doable over a weekend (20h without heirlooms ) ... u could do the instance grind too .. but its boring as hell .. the npcs send u from one quest hub to the next anyways .. so install quest helper , buy beer and get into the questing groove .

best plan would be to build mixed teams (tank+3dd+heal) if u are 5 boxing and did the "normal" one class a time thing till 60... the instance quests help massive in bc(well only two real bad quest in the swamps wich dosnt have follows-> the collect electro eel flesh and wasp wings ones)/northend to skip some really bad questchains/zones and its a much better idea to test/bugfix your macros/ui while fighting nonelite mobs then doing it in bgs/heroic instances.

[Smoooth]

u could do the instance grind too .. but its boring as hell

I would say the quest grind is the boring one. I'd rather level through instances. There are 16 five man instances in Outlands and that's not including the heroics. You will only have to run each one 2 or 3 times before you get a level and move up to the next so it stays fresh. And since you have lots of teams at 60 you can switch them and only play rested xp to make it that much faster.

Or you can thoughtlessly run back and forth killing and collecting things questing...

[thefunk]

Quest quest quest. That's my plan. You could also to each instAnce once for variety

[heffner]

I followed Jame's guides over at wow-pro.com for all my post-BC leveling. Since they were published, the XP requirements to level were lowered and RAF/heirlooms made available, so you always get ahead of the guides. IIRC I hit 70 in Nagrand. I did most of the quests in Hellfire (for the gear), then to Zangarmarsh and finished in Nagrand....maybe a few others here and there in Terrokar and Blades Edge, but not many. I don't think my team has ever been to Netherstorm or Shadowmoon Valley.

[alcattle]

I would like to see a short guide to what Instances in Outland you can run at level. I did almost the same thing on my lart 60-68 run, now the DK is in HB at 71 and did not do the other starter area yet.

[Starbuck_Jones]

With flying at 60, Outlands is very quick. I averaged 2 levels per zone, each zone took about 90min with flying about 3h w/o. Instances added more time as well, but worth it for the drops and quest rewards. Also the instance runs were the only parts that put a dent in the massive amount of rested xp due to my play schedule. This is alliance only as well.

Legend: G = Get D=Do/turn in GD=Get and go Do right then.

Thanks, Starbuck. Nice List.

[rocnroll]

Have you guys tried any of Jame's guides?

http://www.wow-pro.com/leveling_guides

They are free and pretty effective. I haven't tried them as a multi-boxer.

I do like Starbuck's list though, short and to the point.

[Ualaa]

I've tried the Brian Kopp guide and Extreme Leveling.
In both cases, the one-box speed is amazing.
And the five-box speed sucks with the collections.

Both of them use an in-game addon, to mark where to go on the mini-map.
A tad better then questhelper, in that you don't just have a straight line to the goal and possibly mountains in the way.
Well, once we're in Outland, we should be flying anyway, so that's less of an issue then in the old world.

The guides assume, a few collections with even a poor drop rate is ok.
Because the experience is decent on the kills, and you get a reward from it too.
Those portions are kind of bleh, for boxing.
But the pace is pretty good with any of the guides.

[Starbuck_Jones]

I have Terrorkar and nagrand listed out. These are all MB friendly quests, so no collection quests etc, unless it drops for everyone in the group.

[Ualaa]

Greatly appreciated, Starbuck_Jones.

I'm sure I'll have more toons in Outland at some point.
And this will help them enormously.

Yes.

Hellfire --> Zanga --> Terokkar --> Nagrand --> 68 and go to northrend.

Just do every quest, even collections. there are so many mobs, kill everything in your path. It goes REALLY fast. I usually do the Outland grind in 2 - 3 days of playing (normally a weekend)

[Zappy]

I just did Outlands last week on my bandwagoning DK, 4 ret team with no rested XP. Without a question, questing is by far the fastest way. I ran a few instances along the way to complete some quests, but mainly quested. Only took a couple of evenings as well.

Most people say go to northrend right at 68, but I stayed and continued questing until I hit 70 skipping almost every collection quest with the exception of a few that opened a decent chain (stupid moths in Terokkar come to mind). I completed Howling Fjord skipping most of the collection quests there, and am about one-third the way through Borean Tundra. With that, I'm half way through 72 with 2.5 days played on all my paladins.

I must say, one thing I love about this new team is the mana regen. Kinda crazy to think that you can level all the way up and not have to drink at all even doing instances -- See achievements / character / consumables:

Nagrand

If you followed my list you should have 2 quests in your Journal. A Message to Telaar & The Masters Grand Design. Kill the ellks for the tusks. 100% drop and tradeable. I recomend doing The Masters Grand Design quest line as it will unlock and send you back to Terokkar Forest for a dungen. When I originaly wrote these lists I only had riding, now with flying at 60 its prolly not quite as optimized as it was before and you may have to go out of your way a bit to get 3x tusks and the drops for the grand design portion. If you do all 4 of these zones plus their dungen quests, you should easily be 68 and then some if you started at 60 and have fun in Northrend.

[alcattle]

Look forward to trying these out, I have a group of 60s part way through HFP, druids so they have flying, will get back with results.

[Starbuck_Jones]

Ive run through this list of quest twice. The first time was with a paladin and 4x druids and i didnt have any real issues, even with the dungens. Second run is with a 80 paladin and 4x shaman and of course its a cake walk with the 80.

Skettith Halls or whatever that zone is with the mind control guys was a pain and the fear bombs in the slave pens too. Im thinking about maping out the other outlands zones as well. If they reduce the xp needed to level etc when the next expando pack comes out, it MIGHT be worth it to stay in outlands till like 73 ish as northrend is not very MB friendly when it comes to the quests, other than the dailies.

I also recomend doing the Spooregar rep grind to neutral to unlock all the dungen quests in Underbog. With the upgrade to rep they put in, it shouldnt take more than 20-40min killing bog lords to get it, and its worth the extra 44k xp.

If your boosting, just grab the most valuble quest reward. The only rewards I kept for my shamen on this run were the blue quest rewards.

[Zzc2]

nice run through, cant wait to try it when i hit 60

[alcattle]

Have you guys tried any of Jame's guides?

http://www.wow-pro.com/leveling_guides

They are free and pretty effective. I haven't tried them as a multi-boxer.

I do like Starbuck's list though, short and to the point.
The ones that Jame did are great, but he has not been doing any lately. The newer ones can be good or bad, but the ratings are a good way to tell their value. The use for multiboxing is limited at best. I was looking at the add-on versions of their guides as they use tour guides interface.

But this is the basic Non Multibox as it stands now
