Till like level 10 i did only quests, and every single drop quest aswell.

Sure its a pain in the ass, but once u get going with it, its not that bad

after that i head straight for DM with a 70 mage, and my 4 toons, from there on its like speed train, sitting at 1 day 8h played and lvl37 now (yes i slack alot ;p)
