Ive hit the WOW leveling Wall..

With the new reduced exp, instance grinding isn't quite what it used to be. For example, take 1 Sethekk Halls run at 69; you can gain about 4-5 bubbles easily. The run may take you about 45 minutes to complete (once you figure out Talon King Iksis or you could just skip him and reset the instance). Also, there are 2 quests tied to Sethekk Halls, The combined exp for the two quests is about 45k (a bubble and a half or so of exp at 69). It really shouldn't take you longer than 10-13 real life hours to go from 67-70.

On the flip side, you could run quests, but I've found that a lot of the quests have you running aimlessly from point a to b to c, etc. For me, the best experience was mostly instancing, and then running a few quests (Ring of Blood was very good... ~ 75k+ exp in under 1 hr). As others have already mentioned though, it does take a certain mindset to do the instances... usually I just throw on some music, grab a beer, and start grinding. Coming from an EverQuest background where 1 level could take you 24+ real life hours to complete, instances/exp here seems like a breeze :-)

Cheers.

Coming from EQ myself, I'm glad to hear another person that thinks that the instance grind is not really that bad. I actually like it.

Sheesh, I remember grinding in LGuk at the Undead Ghoul King and I'd be sitting my bots in one place for literally hours. Ahh, the memories!

Ya but then I had showEQ and another program to run my characters on a script while I was sleeping =)

Before that though.... ugh I think I did sebilis for a day and a half before almost dropping from exhaustion.
