It's taken me about three weeks, playing 2 hours a day and more at the weekends.

Unfortunately collection quests are a necessary evil best managed by having a decent method for screen switching (such as maximiser or innerspace) and an easy way of changing the group leader.

My sanity-saver for the collection quests has been the in-game Zygore guide addon. It's a step-by-step optimised guide for levelling that forms part of a group of addons. Nothing is more effective at keeping you going through the dark times when you just want to give up. It is far superior to any other in-game questing guidance system I've used in the past. It does, however, cost a few dollars to buy - should that be the method you choose to obtain it!
