I recently got my second full team to 70. I remember a couple years ago leveling 70+ sucked because of all the collection quests. Back then I didn't have a tank or healer. My third team is currently 64/65 and my fourth is 62/63. I don't want to end up with a bunch of level 70 teams so I need to get started on them now to keep the cycle rolling.

I skipped every collection quest after level 5 in vanilla. I skip every collection quest in BC. I plan to skip them all in WOTLK too. Since every team has a tank and healer, I can do instances. I can't remember exactly what the percentage of collection quests in WoTLK but i remember thinking it was too high.

MY QUESTIONS ARE:

1. If I skip collection quests am I going to be forced to get most of my xp from grinding instances all the way to 80?
2. Are there any daily (non-collection) quests in the 70-79 range and what level do they start?

Thanks.
