Playtime to 100...

[Ñightsham]

Just curious to the time it'll take to get from lvl 90 to lvl 100, anyone have an estimate?
I've taken 5 days off in order to get at least 5 of my toons to 100, just hope there aren't a lot if collection quests out there :)

I'm guessing the collection quests will be less of a pain than doing the garrison related quests. But I'm looking forward to garrisons!

[Ñightsham]

From just looking at various posts on other sites, some indicate around 45hrs of play. Not sure if that's in line with like the timeframe from 70-80 or not, if its doable within 3-4 days that sounds encouraging.

...i guess the way the garrison thing works, each toon does their own thing, other in your group would phase out, is this correct?

the fastest time for horde i have seen is 5:17, alliance i have heard 4.5 hours from 90-100 single player. regular players with no knowledge will take 12+ easily
http://elvinelol.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?49-Guides has 90-100 speed leveling guides for both horde and alliance, have a browze through that if your interested. the horde guy has his run through on twitch stream archive so have a look at that also, it might be usefull

as for collection quests i leveled from 90-96 with a friend and mostly everything shared, wasn't an issue

That is crazy fast?!! per level or all 10 levels?

I might do that for other teams.. but I think i will take my time with the first team. It is nice to know that IF you want to level fast.. you can!

Those were the times my friends (who try to get servers first) roughly got on beta, purely by questing.


regular players with no knowledge will take 12+ easily

No knowledge of what? The map layout or combat mechanics? Because questing is fairly straight forward.

Yes, that's fast... but I thought they did away with server first's achievements

Single player:

Horde: 6-7h
Alliance 3,5-4,5h

so alliance leveling is faster?

knowledge of optimal quest pathing and the locations of some the treasures. if you don't pick up treasures you are going to HAVE to do every quest in each zone (exception might be Gorgon due to all the bonus objectives), if your leveling in a group drop guild banners when fighting large packs of mobs and they work on treasures also.
my first play through just from 90-100 took just over 14 hours and i didn't read quest text, my 2nd time i shaved off 2 hours.

Watch some vods of the playthroughs from 90-100 and look at the guides that are listed on elvine's forums. If you didn't play beta theres no other way to prefamiliarize yourself with it.

This seems almost to fast imo. I thought the whole idea behind having 10 levels this expansion was so it was a longer ride to 100.

As long as they can churn out content faster this round..one tier of content lasting for a year(+/-?) is just not acceptable. I remember at Blizzcon last year the live raid was Siege of Orgrimmar (http://www.wowwiki.com/Siege_of_Orgrimmar)..so was it longer than a year? Thats nutz!

EDIT: SO i just looked it up.. SoO patch was on Sept 10th last year!

They have recently stated that the amount of people working on WoW has doubled up compared to the launch of MoP. And they now have the technology and the resources in place to develop faster content.

Why was the alliance time leveling so much faster?

[tundra622]

the horde guy has recently updated his guide with his last timed run which was 4 hr 28 mins, i don't think alliance were faster its just the horde took a while to find a faster path.
