Leveling in World of Warcraft has never been so fast. In less than an evening you will already have your characters at level 50.
If you want to level up a character in modern World of Warcraft in order to have them as fit as possible for the Dragon Isles, then there has probably never been a better time. Currently, the experience bonuses only stack up in such a way that the level phase literally flies by. In the WoW subreddit, some people are bragging about their level time, which is impressive – because it only takes a little more than 4 hours to reach level 50.
What happened? On the WoW subreddit, Err0 shared a screenshot showing his Lightforged Draenei Hunter. It had just hit level 50 and had a playtime of just 4 hours and 16 minutes – so that was the total time it took Err0 to level to level 50.
Lightforged Draenei count as an Allied Race, so they start at level 10. But according to Err0, that doesn’t make much of a difference, because the time from level 1 to 10 would add another 20 to 30 minutes at most.
What level route did he take? If you want to level up just as fast, you can just copy Err0’s leveling route. It’s pretty simple and can be done in just a few hours. He proceeded as follows:
After completing the 4 areas you should already have reached level 50.
It is important to keep your eyes open for “rare spawns”. Because they sometimes give as much XP when killing as completing a quest.
What XP bonuses did he combine? There are currently many XP bonuses that can be combined with one another. This is how the “Wind of Wisdom” buff still works, which grants a whopping 50% bonus experience. But WoW’s birthday is also active, which gives you an additional 18%. If you also visit the Darkmoon Faire, you will receive an additional 10%. This results in a total bonus of 78% more experience points. From level 20 you should then activate the war mode to get another 10% to 15% as an additional bonus.
Why did he stop at level 50? The reason for this is that at level 50 you currently have to go to Shadowlands. The last 10 levels (i.e. up to level 60) are much slower and have to be done in the shadow lands. That will change soon, however, as the “Chromie Time” will soon be extended to level 60. Then it is possible to level up to level 60 in old areas. At the same time, the necessary experience is drastically reduced from level 50 to 60 – almost 80% less XP is then required.
Those wanting to play “maximum efficiency” will now level as many characters as possible to level 50 and do the rest after the change to Chromie Time takes place.
Are you leveling your twinks as well? Did you put that behind you a long time ago? Or do you only do that with the new expansion Dragonflight?
