Yeah, I've been doing all the collection quests too. Mainly just because I want to experience the entire expansion. But once I do them once, that's it (unless it leads to a really nice item down the quest chain). :)

i went from 68-71 easily in borean/fjord, but i'm out of quests now. i tried soloing nexus/utgarde on my 5x boomkin but they've made it so you really need a tank to be successful it seems. i've started doing collection quests, and those plus the mobs you kill while doing them seem to give a good chunk of xp, though not quite as fast as regular grinding quests. hopefully more quest areas open up when i hit 72, and i'm also starting to build a nice feral set for my main so i can grind dungeons if i get stuck again. i'd rather not have to do collections :P

1) I don't think there are that many collection quests - in fact there seems to be less than in BC, and the ones I've encountered so far have been skippable. I've done 0 collection quests and I'm 72 and still have a bunch of undone quests in both howling fjord and borean tundra.Quote:

3) Yeah, this is a shame. In fact I'd like to add to your list-o-whining that xp-grinding in instances really suck for me so far because a lot of mobs either don't give xp or are simply spaced too far apart to be a viable alternative. And I've done three instances so far, I really hope this changes.
4) I haven't had that problem when grouped
5) /shrug doesn't really bother me tbh, it's just cloth which is one of the most dropped items anyway. If someone gave me an ability to increase netherweave drop rate by 25% in BC I wouldn't care too much either.
I would say no....The cloth economy is eventually get down to whatever the price of bandages vendor for. If you are running more than one toon you will get overwhelmed with cloth with or without this bonus. It is cool but if you don't have it already I wouldn't go and spend time/gold trying to get it.Quote:

I have run into shitloads of collection quests and here is how I combat it. I round robin each toon on them(meaning only one character will get to complete that quest.) That way at least one character gets xp while we are in the area completing other quests. However this doesnt solve the problem of chain quests that have collections in them.
Also at this point I would like to point out xp in Wrath is VERY buggy. I havent figured out what is going on yet, but sometimes when I'm running solo (I play at work) I can get up to 2500 xp(blue) solo for a non-elite to my group getting as low as 300 xp (nonblue.) I think that's fucked up. 300xp?! You gotta be kidding me. No wonder single players are way ahead of me in leveling game.
I haven't even had a chance to get my group there to see the exp..but I agree, that doesn't seem right.Quote:

This seems to be a common question. Phasing is new technology they introduced with WotLK. One of the most easily accessed Phased regions of the world is the Death Knight starting area. Every time you complete a major question chain, part of the area changes. But here's the deal, every other death knight in the zone who has not done those quests still sees the area as it would be portrayed in the previous phase. Note that, if I recall this correctly, players can only see and interact with other players who are on the same phase as them.Quote:

Okay, some people are saying there aren't that many collection quests and others are saying there are tons. Which is it? I've not hit Northrend yet since the group I've decided to level in WotLK is not quite 68 and I'd like to be 70 to start the area since that's what it was engineered for.
I only did howling fjord so far to 70.66 but I haven't seen that many collection quests at all. Certainly less than BC. And a couple of the ones I did find dropped items for EVERY character at the same time.
