Starting WOTLK with a chunk of XP

[puppychow]

don't "save" completed quests right now, its not a good idea. The week before WOTLK goes live you can slowly fill up your quest log with completed quests, and then turn them all in when wotlk goes live. Jamming up your quest log with 20 completed quests now and having only 5 free for months isn't fun, since its much easier doing the dailies and such when you can grab 10+ quests at a time. Or if they somehow put out patches with new daily hubs, or if WOTLK is delayed, you don't want your quest log always filled up for months.

I'll probably continue to do dailies for the first week until people went to the second zone. That should probably put me to 71 or hopefully 72.

Doesnt repeatable quests only give xp the first hand in? Or was that some other game?

Dailies give experience every time unless you are exp capped.

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.

would be a good idea, however dont over estimate the amount of XP you wil be geting

@19K XP per quest - handing 25 Q in will award 475K XP

Blizz recently set the 70-71 XP threshold at 1,256,500 XP

therefore youll be starting with around 1/3rd of a level, and for the effort of flying around 5 areas in ouland when you could be checking out all the new content i dont think its worth it imo



hi btw

I think I read some blue about completed quest at expansion launch not giving any XP. It seemed it was the same thing for BC.

BTW, I play WOTLK beta. Northrend quest: 15k to 30k xp for any small quest, more XP from mobs, and 1,2 to 1,5M XP required for 71. A full completed BC-questlog should value aroud 300 to 500k I think which is third of a level and no more than 2 to 4 hours in Northrend. Get the golds !

[Drizzit]

Well if you think about it you are already ahead of the game. WotLK will probably be like BC meaning that you can go there 2 levels lower then what you are. Sense you are going to be 70 you are already ahead of the curve.

These both make perfect sense to me.

I'd rather spend the time in Northrend - even if it means competing with people for kills - than doing whatever quests I have left over in Outland and just sitting on them for a relatively modest amount of XP as a jump-start.

Of course, if you're hoping for one of those snazzy server-first achievement titles then it might still be worth considering

A title of "First Server Death Knight" would be cool, but it will probably go to someone that will either quit wow, delete the toon, or just not use it.
