btw, how did you get to 69 without touching Blade's Edge? I finished all HP, Zangermarsh, Terrokar and Nagrand quests, except I did NO collection quests (except the garanteed drop ones) and my 5 chars are 66.7. Maybe I didn't run instances as often as you. I ran each of the ones appropriate for my level once, a few I did twice, and Mana Tombs I have don't maybe 6 times.

For instances I ran them maybe 2 or 3 times at most. Some instances I just ran once and got the hell out of there once I finished all the quests.

At level 58, I didn't rush over to Outlands. Finished up WPL and EPL. Went over to Outlands I think when I was 60. Did all the Hellfire quests, then went back to the old world (at level 62) and did most of the instance quests and finished all the level 60 instances including my Paly mount quest which was from level 62-63.

Then did the Hellfire Instance maybe 2-3 times each. Went to the next zone, did all the quests I wanted to (which means I skipped a couple of the collection quests). Did the instances for that zone (as far as I could) along with their quests. Then on to the next zone...

When I finished Nagrand, tried AC and failed and was a little bit away from 70. So I mounted up and rode to SMV to get the flying mount, and got XP from discovering new lands. Then BAM, hit 70 just for riding through SMV.

Got my riding skill and got my regular flying mount. :thumbsup:

Now I'm starting in Blade's Edge and all those quests and afterwards will help fund my Epic Flying. And also saving time by doing them with my flying mount. 8o

This is why I suggest not rushing over to Outlands at 58. Finish up the old world quests for the XP. I was clearing quests so quickly because I was leveled higher then usual and just killing mobs so quickly.
