Getting Ready For WOTLK Tips

[Lyonheart]

No xp for completed "old" quests.

source of info?

Hinted but never confirmed ^^

I'm gonna do the isle and shattrah dailies, and then just turn them in after installing :P

The info is incorrect. Its been confirmed by a blue (and by the fact its completely obvious) that rewards are calculated when you turn the quest in, NOT when you accept it (therefore you will get XP for completed quests turned in after you upgraded to WotLK, not money).

Case in point, when you ding 70 and still have 4 quests completed, you turn those 4 quests in and now get lots of gold for them instead of no XP and only a tiny amount of gold.

Case in point: When you completed quests before BC and then turned them in after upgrading you didn't get exp.

Either way I haven't seen any blue on the subject for wotlk.

I got exp from quests I did in pre-bc after bc started...

From what I've read, it was a lot faster to clear the quest log at 60 and just head to Hellfire then it was to run around E.PL/W.PL/Winterspring etc turning quests in at 60.

I'm not sure if this is still true or not for WotLK, but in BC you were better off without any quest log clutter then you were to turn in a bunch of already completed quests.
I suppose if you log off in SMV at a quest hub with six quests to turn in, and are bound in SW which is a harbor for one of the new zones... that won't hurt your cause much.

Basically for preparations...

Have every toon you'd like to level to 80, as close to 70 as possible.
Clear as much as possible from their bags.
Have a few stacks of the best food/water/bandages available.
Possibly some elixir's but space is probably worth more then a lot of these.
For maximum profit, gathering skills at 375 and sell everything you gather while leveling.
For maximum leveling, ignore gathering while leveling.
Be camped the day before the expansion where the expansion boat/zepellin arrives, so you can get started as soon as the game is live.
Catch up on your sleep before the expansion, you'll probably be short on sleep for the first little while.

Please dont make statements that are patently untrue and not backed up by evidence. I had a full quest log on my old 60 main and gained around 40% of 60-61 by handing them all in when TBC 1st came out.

I had some finished quests on my char before I transferred it to beta. I got XP when turning them in. I finished about 20 quests today to turn in after the servers come back up :-)

You WILL get XP when you turn in completed quests after you upgrade to wrath.

Anyone who has seen a BLUE post to the contrary, PLEASE link it here. Otherwise I'll do my other 11 dailies and see you all in Northrend with an XP bump.

I have 17 quests to turn in.. I don't care if i get exp or not. But it will be nice if i do 8)
