Holy Brick Wall Batman!

So my Alliance shammies dinged 70 last night, and jeez, the XP difference was noticeable. All the way to 69 every quest I turned in gave half to nearly a complete bubble, now i get like 1/16 for even a group quest. Do the heirloom items stop working at 70? This is gonna suck. Not to mention the over abundance of collect quests.

On another note, I tried UK this morning and can't get past the first few 3 mob pulls without wiping. Starting to get frustrated.

heirloom items work to 80. Be sure to use the cold weather training book to fly in Northrend. It speeds up questing big time.

I thought my leveling 70-80 was about the same pace as 60 -70. I ran Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragon Blight, Grizzly hills. That got me to 77 where I headed to Icecrown. I had a guide, but it basically ran enough quests in each zone to get the title.

This is a very common place to get stuck. What is your team comp? On all three of my teams I had to retool, re-do macros and get a couple of the blue quest items before I could do much in UK. I finally work my way to the Prince and beat on him until I down him, then things get noticeably better.

If you're not using a true tank and healer, prepared to be dissapointed.

The BC 5x Shaman days ended at BC. You need to do instances the way Blizzard intended now...

Gear your tank.

You can get the entire Crafted Cobalt Set for a paladin tank made pretty cheap.

I do have cold weather flying. Also, I'm running 5 shaman again mainly for PvP at 80, but I guess I'll have to run a tank like I did with my Horde team. I suppose I can faction transfer my DK.

I remember trucking right along and then I hit Northrend too. I won't lie. The grind from 70-80 was VERY painful and slow for me, but oh the fun I've had at 80...

I beg to differ. You can do 60-70 in an entire weekend if you're bored. You definitely cannot do 70-80 in an entire weekend.

Faction transfers are broke atm. They can happen instantly or take a day or more. I have transfered several of my toons to horde in the past few weeks. Some went through in minutes and 4 have taken a few days. There is a 70+ page forum thread in the CS support forums about it.

Northrend kicks ass. There are collection quests in all zones, but only a couple (Zul'Drak, Grizzly Hills) are unusually bad for a boxer, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't set foot in either. Dragonblight, Scholozar Basin, Icecrown and Storm Peaks are awesome questing zones once you can fly. I just got my third team to 80, and I hit the cap before I even got out of Dragonblight (with two heirlooms each and doing the daily dungeon every day) so I don't believe all the pain that some people have with the continent.
