Power leveling
Power leveling is the term used to describe the process of leveling a character as rapidly as possible with the least amount of play time. It can be used from any level up to the maximum level in the game which is currently 80. Contrary to what many believe efficient power leveling does not require endless hours of grinding. The best methods of power leveling involve doing many quests in an orderly fashion.
The goal of these guides is to help you level a character, whether your first on the server or not, to the level of your choice as quickly and efficiently as possible. At the same the quests will be ordered in such fashion to ensure you gain reputation with each of the 3 major factions on either the Alliance or Horde side.
Common methods of power leveling include doing only those quests which are most efficient in terms of experience over time, and analyzing the quests in a given zone so as to do them in the most efficient order possible. Remember, the idea of power leveling is speed and efficiency–you may wish to obtain an addon that will show you how much experience per hour you are gaining to test your techniques. Additionally, ensure your character’s talent build is crafted for maximum endurance. You want as little downtime (walking, drinking, eating, crafting, typing, etc.) as possible.
With regard to professions, an example would be for a tailor to farm or purchase large quantities of cloth, then identify and repeat the cheapest tailoring recipes so as to maximize skill point gain compared to cost.
Twinking is distinct from power leveling. A twink is usually intended to remain at its current level for an extended period of time, thus providing some justification for the large investment into its gear. A character being power leveled is often equipped with inexpensive gear, since the player will be planning on outleveling it quickly.
Also note that power leveling is sometimes used to refer to paying someone else to level your character to 80 as fast as possible (i.e. they power level for you); a distinction used by Blizzard is to refer to the paid leveling as “power leveling service.” This behavior is against Blizzard’s Terms of Service. Power leveling yourself, which this article covers, is perfectly acceptable.
Generic tips
- First and foremost, get an addon to help you find quest objectives (like Questhelper)
- Learn how to use Keyboard Shortcuts. Clicking on toolbars is great for newbies to learn, but the fractions of seconds you save while using keyboard shortcuts will help you level much faster
- Learn how to play. Read a lot. For example, if you are a warrior, read the entire warrior wowwiki article.
- Most macros and addons usually aren’t truly necessary until you start raiding, but some can help
- Max out your gear as much as you can afford. You should rarely have a piece of gear that is more than about 10 levels below you.
- Use a proven leveling spec that someone else created, or if you are making your own spec, understand that some talents are more pvp oriented (for example, stun resistance is very useful in PVP, not so much in PVE)
- Enchantments aren’t necessary since you’ll be upgrading your gear costantly. That said cheap enchants that help with your damage are always welcome.
- Usually it’s best to avoid a lot of instance runs. It is too difficult to account for bad groups, and some instances are too far away with too few quests. Since the experience is very good, it’s a good idea to clear nearby instances which have a lot of quests once (Gnomeregan, Deadmines for Alliance). Distant instances with few quests should be avoided (Deadmines for Horde). Low level instances can be cleared by paying or befriending a single high level character. However, since patch 3.3 a new Dungeon group finding system has been implemented, as well as a direct port to dungeons (when entering the group you get ported to the dungeon and back to the same location if you leave it) and thus the travel time to dungeons has been greatly reduced.
- Specing healing or prot is fine if you are leveling with instances, but that is not considered power leveling. Usually spec for max DPS. One exception is Prot Pally which can slowly grind multiple mobs and level efficiently.
- Some classes can efficiently burn two or more mobs simultaneously (like warlocks and Priests with fear and DOTs, or prot Pally’s)
- Always end your session in a capital city or inn, so that you remain rested.
- If you are a non-healing class, have a good supply of bandages through First Aid since bandaging is much faster (and more expensive) than eating.
- New food and water types are available at levels 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75.
- New ammo types are available at levels 10, 25, 40, 45, 55, 65, and 75
- The first thing you should do when you arrive at an auction house is fill your four vacant bag slots with the largest bags you can afford
- Learn how to auto loot (shift + right click)
- Always put a temporary buff on your weapon (sharpening stones and weightstones for melee classes; mana oil for hunters; wizard oil for casters).
- If you can afford it, always have one guardian and one battle elixir active. This gets really expensive really fast, so it’s only for those with deep pockets or alts who can farm them.
- If you enjoy PVP, spend a few hours at level 29 in Arathi Basin and get 30 marks to buy a Talisman of Arathor (or Horde equivalent). This trinket will likely endure until you get Outland trinkets. The bubble will save you countless times for the Plan ahead.
- Occasionally search the auction house for gear that is about 10 levels beyond you. This is especially true at around level 50, when you should start stockpiling level 57 Outland gear that will be a huge upgrade for you.
- Do something productive while flying like organizing your bags, reading about future talents, or organizing your quest log.
- Use a guide (free or paid) that will tell you the order to do quests efficiently.
