Please share your leveling route

Does anyone have advice for the early levels? Currently levelling my first squad using my normal solo quest route and it is going super slow. Is simple mob grinding better than all these horrible night elf loot quests? Bit of a pain since this was mostly a setup test squad and I'm going to have to do it all again.

I think that you should follow your quest route, but skip any and all collection type quests unless they are like less than 5 items per character. Do kill quests, do click item type quests, do fedex quests. If you fall behind in levels on your route, stop in a place with high mob density and grind a level. Collection quests are the bane of MBing experience. To give you an idea, granted this was launch day, I think I spent 2-3 hours in Fargodeep mine in Elwynn Forest trying to do the candle and gold dust collection quests. If I had the entire place to myself, it might have taken me an hour, but still, an hour for slow rate of killing + 2 quest turn ins is terrible xp.

The issue with collection quests usually boils down to, spawn density. As a 5 boxer, very few collection quest areas are going to support your rate of killing, which means if you're not killing at or near your maximum potential, you're losing xp the longer you stay in that area. I'll add another exception for collection quests. If the spawn is enormous and you never run out of stuff to kill for the quest, you might want to consider doing it. In general though, what I would do is, follow a quest guide, and only do kill quests, fedex quests, and clicky quests, and just massacre everything you come across between quests while running.

Horde
So far combination of Tirisfall and Durator Kill quests and FedEX were enough to reach level 10
