Fast Leveling in Wrath of the Lich King

By Mike Miller

Since its birth, World of Warcraft has never been updated as much as with the last Wrath of the Lich King update. Northrend is considered the most huge addition to the game making WOW players interested in checking what the new continent offers. At the same time, they do not want to fall behind their colleagues in terms of leveling because of the time lost exploring the new land. The job of doing so would not be easy unless they know what to expect or use an alliance leveling guide.

World of Warcraft leveling has always been an interesting proposition " requiring that players spend a good amount of time researching, preparing, and diving into the content. In Northrend, this is truer than ever with thousands of quests, two starting zones, and dozens of dailies to consider.

The first thing in Northrend leveling is to know where to start. There are two starting zones " Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord " and each one has its own positive and negative points to consider. But, of the two, Borean Tundra is by far the better choice for getting started in leveling. It provides a more linear leveling sequence, a faster route between hubs and a lot easier chance of finding what you need. Howling Fjord is a prettier, technically more awe inspiring locale, but it takes more time to get around and is thus harder to level up in as quickly.

Unlike questing in Outland, Northrend quests are connected to each other in the form of chains. A quest is closely related to the quest before and after it and this makes finding the quests easier. Doing them would require more hard work though. Knowing beforehand which NPC to interact with, or the best path to go through will reduce the work load on you and makes your leveling faster.

Daily quests can be completed in Northrend starting level 72. This means that you will no more need to grind to reach your next level. Just do the daily quests and gain more XP. You should do these daily quests only if you reach Icecrown Glacier and you are still not level 80 as doing them before will reward you with little XP.

Northrend leveling is more fun to play with although some may feel it is more hard to do or accomplish. It may take you more time to level, but you will sure be enjoying the new content added to the game.
