1-50 Leveling in Pre-Patch/Shadowlands

[Hisha]

You don't have to do the weapon quest at all if you don't plan on using the random dungeon feature in Legion. You can just fall/fly over to the different areas and pickup flight points and quests/objectives, and with SL you get flying without the long grind. Just remember to talk to the flight master in Dalaran you don't get that flight point by default.....don't ask how I know!

Great guide

Regarding skipping the weapon quest in Legion, I saw this post the other day here:

That still does not sound ideal in the slightest, but thanks for sharing, because I did not know about this and always dread going into Legion as a result.

It would be really nice if they allowed you to skip it, and maybe that's a change they will make or have made in prepatch, but I haven't explored it.
