Starting WOTLK with a chunk of XP

He's stated the quests are already completed (or will be by launch). It takes, what, maybe an hour tops to fly around and turn all those quests in? Is an hour less of time in Northrend really that big a difference? It's not like Blizzard has said "here's the expansion, it'll only be around for another 27 hours then we shut it down; explore it while you can."

I think it's a great idea, 350-450K xp up on people for only an hours' worth of work (not counting the time he took to do the quests, which is moot at this point) is pretty awesome, I think.

probably more like this, 1 month after the release "here's the new expansion, that will be out in 11 months, with better gear and cap is now 90. So don't grind for gear too much"

That is how i felt when i heard WotLK came out :( wanted to box more then 2 months at lvl 70. By the time i get my money for my 300 flying and my netherwing and nether ray mounts the WotLK will be out :(

I'll be happy if I even make it to 70 with my new accounts (no RAF). :P

The xp recruired to level WILL be higher in WOTLK just like it is from azeroth to outlands! Personally i will head indoors at the start of WOTLK trying out the new instances. When the majority have left the starting areas i might head back if i not decide to completly level in instances. I wont have a easy life on a pvp server directly after WOTLK launch, just imagine all the grouped people there will be. :P

It's all going to even out in the end. Turn them in now for more gold or have more quests left over in WOTLK for more gold.

---

Not sure what you mean by that. He'll be level 71 right away after launch by turning in completed quests. He'll be 1 level ahead of most people. How does that even out?

---

There's no way it'd be a whole level. And yes, it would even out. Everyone who turns in those quests will get 200-300G per character NOW, and have to do 20 more quests later. He'll get 20 quests of exp NOW and get gold from his quests later. Unless, of course, he stops questing at 80, in which case, well he's going to have to get his gold from somewhere. Not really saving time. It's not like you can magically begin in the middle of WOTLK quest chains just because you have more exp. He's still going to have to begin at square 1 in questing.

You guys are talking about 2 completely different things.

He wants to get a quick boost in XP from having 25 quests completed, once servers come up after WOTLK handing them in for some real fast XP and a fast ding...

You are talking about how much gold you would get compared to saving the quests or doing them now.... He doesn't care about gold, or which is more or less, he is doing it just for the real fast 70-71 ding...

Are you aware that quest exp gets converted into gold once you're level capped?

Of course he cares about gold. How else do you buy enchants, materials, potions, repairs, etc? He says himself that he does dailies!

He can turn in those quests for a quick 300G on each toon NOW or he can save it for exp and make gold from quest exp and level 80 dailies a few hours before he normally would have. I don't see the difference. In the big picture, once he's level 80 it's not going to make much difference at all. Unless he plans on totally ignoring all questing content at 80, he's going to break even in the long run.

Yes I am aware... But like I said, the goal here is not to get the most gold, it is to get a bump of xp when WoTLK comes out.

You keep turning this discussion into a direction he didn't intent, he does not care about getting less gold, he is not doing this to get extra gold. i'm sure he realized he would not get as much gold from the quests himself... since he is now getting xp and not bonus gold.

He is doing it to get fast xp right when WoTLK is released.

I didn't mean he doesnt care about gold at all.. I meant in this instance, in this "scheme", getting the most gold is not a factor.

The difference that you don't see, is the entire point of what he is saying. He is trying to get a lead on everyone else. Think about it, when WoTLK comes out most people will not have any quests to turn in, and will head right to northrend.

He will have 25 quests ready to hand in, which could very well be able to bring him right to 71.. This gives him a HUGE lead on the rest of the server.

Thats why he is doing this... To get a lead on XP.

You are thinking about the long run, this thread is about the short term fast boost in xp the first day.

for what its worth achievements last for 1 minute so anyone who completes it within that same minute also gets the award

So if there was one for DK and in the first minutes 1,220 people made DK they would all get the award

Same with all the achievements

I don't care about gold.

I just want to be a little bit ahead, a little bit closer to 71.

I've actually thought about and i will only be playing 1 character to 80 because i enjoy doing quests and want to read the quests stories and stuff. I'll be levelling my other 4 warlocks when my main is 80 and has done most of the instances already. Multiboxing ruins the questing experience for new content imo

Even regarding gold, in the long run i'm sure having 25 quest completed at level 70 will help.
Since you'll get about a ~400k xp headstart, you'll need less northrend quests to get to 80, and i'm pretty sure those 20-25 extra quests in Northrend you'll be able to do at max level 80 will net you more gold than the 25 at max level 70.

dunno if i'm clear tho lol.
unfortunately i've pretty much exhausted my whole quest log on my 2 main toons, and my MB'd triplets are only 63 atm. hoping for 70 by the time Wotlk hits
