How did you guys level to 80?

[pengwynman]

im cruising through most of the quests, im a level behind what people said i should be for a 5 box, i should be near 77 by the time i get near/end of zul drak, but im only 1/3 into 75, i also skipped about 60 quests in each howling ford and Tundra, but did most in Dragonblight and Grizzly, i may go back and do some more quests in the zones i missed but i have to find the hubs i missed.

I just recently started doing collection quests in grizzly hill, most of the quests i missed earlier were collection quests.

i'm in pretty much the same boat. I was about halfway through 75 when i ran out of quests in zul drak-- i've been running out of quests pretty early because i went to northrend at 68, rather than 70. i'm about to hit 76 though, at which point i'll be going to shalazar and i believe more quests in zul drak will open up as well.

I am in the same boat in that I brought my boys over at 68. I am doing something I did not think I would, I am doing every single quest possible. I am level 71 almost 72 and about 75% complete with BT. I completed about 90% of the quest in Howling Fjord that were available to me. So far the collection quest have not caused me to jump off a tall building there seems to be a better rate of drop compared to the older worlds. The quest I am most annoyed with believe it or not are the pick up 15 of "X" off the ground. I prefer to kill things and get experience while I am farming drops.

I hit out to northrend at 70, since i was already at 70. I finished both zones howling and borean then dragonblight, grizzly hills, and dinged 80 at the very end of zul'drak (finished it off with a few back to back gun'drak runs). Did everything single quest along the way plus every dungeon to knock off the quests when i got em. Did Gun'drak a couple times and UK a couple times in a row. But asides from that was just straight lvling. The collection quests killed me LOL specially in zul'drak where they had collection quests back to back in a huge chain.

I've decided there's only one way i can get through this coming weekend's worth of collection quests....

ALCOHOL :P

I tried that. Strangely enough it did make the three collection quests I had far more enjoyable, although I think it took quite a bit longer than usual. It also made for some fun /general chat

I tend to just follow Joana's WOTLK Horde Leveling Guide, but if I run into a particularly bad collection quest, or if traffic's just too busy with competing players, I will just move on to something else and come back later.

I find that the big benefit of a guide is that they point out the places where you should be stacking stuff up. Very often, if you have a collection quest, there will also be other quests for killing the mobs or those mobs nearby to the collection stuff, but they may not be from the same quest givers. The "go here and accept this, that and this, before doing those, go here and pick this up, now you do them both together" type of advice really helps.

70-75 involved a lot of sleep depravation and utgard keep, but I don't remember it too well

75-77 I spent in gundrak

77-79 I went in halls of stone

79-80 I did in Icecrown. Instance grinding would have been faster, but I probably would have died if I had to do any more halls of stone

Well in response to the loot this many of that for a quest times 5 really really bites i finally got my shaman group first 5 box setup to 70 this weekend been out in borelean tundra since 68 but whats with the exp each shammy gets only 200 per kill yawn and the mass amount of loot quests is really really getting annoying i think im going to do the old time to run instances seems like i would level faster that way esp when i figue out how to run them faster but ehh what you think do all the quests cept for the loot ones unless u want the acheivements and mix that with all instances or do all quests no instances or all instances no quest cause i want to get 80 before i get my dk team currently at 61 to 80.

since i only have one char high enough, i just quested solo. started in BT, went to HF, back to DB, then GH, went to SB, SP, and then icecrown for the last half of 79. I've done one quest in ZD and that was a turn-in. think ill work on those starting tomorrow...

[Tasty]

I think we all missed the obvious answer. We earned xp until our bars filled up

[Tdog]

Quested...

70-72 Howling Fjord

72-74 Borean Tundra

74-76 Dragonblight

76-77 Zul'drak (I called it quits about a 1/3 of the way through Zul'drak. There are just SO MANY collection quests.)

77-79 Sholozar Basin

79-80 Icecrown


If/when I level up a 2nd team I'm going to be skipping Zul'drak all together except for the arena quests (300k xp in 20 mins? Hell ya!) and including Storm Peaks in my questing adventure. Also yes I did all the collection quests, although I am now one a single PC which makes looting on the alts vastly easier. Also for questing purposes I just led with one of my elemental shammies and just had the warrior on follow till I actually needed her for a very hard hitting group quest elite, which their weren't many honestly that my shammies couldn't handle on their own.

Even those these are Horde guides there are Alliance equvialents on the same websites.
