Accelerated Leveling Guide Levels 1-40 (World of Warcraft addons)
Accelerated Leveling Guild for Alliance:
Purpose – I’ve often been asked how I level so quickly. One day you may see me at level 30, the next I could quite possibly be 35. One specific example is going from level 30 to 50 with my Main character in less than a two week period. Many people have asked me to write a quick leveling guide, so I decided to give it a shot. This guide is not for any specific class, but specifically aimed at the Alliance Faction.
Background/Experience – Level 60 Night Elf Rouge, Level 40~ Dwarf Hunter, Level 40~ Human Warrior, Level 40~ Night Elf Hunter, Level 40~ Gnome Mage. Every other class has been played to at least level 20, Most to 30~. As such, this guide will be as specific as possible up to the level 40 area, and more general knowledge afterwards.
General Ideas – We’ll start with a Night Elf, Dwarf or Gnome (Humans are boring but I have other reasons for this I will point out later). After Doing Starter quests and Intermediate quests we’ll move on to Elwynn Forest with a level advantage. This is where the actual guide begins. ALWAYS log out in an INN or a Major City for rested exp bonus. Try to get quests that are in the same area and Multiple quests with quest items that drop off of the same type mobs.
Levels (1-6) – I personally like using a Night Elf, Dwarf or Gnome. No Matter what Race you pick, Do ALL of the starter quests in your race’s starter area. You should not leave the starter area until you are minimum level 5, but I recommend staying until you are level 6 (That gets you all of your starter skills). I’m not going to go through all the starter quests here, if you need a guide for that you’ll need more help than I can provide you. Some reasons for staying in your starter area are 1.) to build your initial Reputation, so at level 40 you don’t have to worry if you have “Honor” to buy the mount for your Race. 2.) The quests will be that much easier when you move on to Elwynn Forest. Humans can follow this guide too, but will not enjoy the level advantage of the NE, Dwarf and Gnome.
Levels (6-10) – Intermediate Quests for Gnomes and Dwarves are in Dun Morogh, questing for Night Elves at this level is in Teldrassil. Again I won’t go into specifics on each quest here, This guide starts in Elwynn Forest. In general you should get to level 10 in four hours of /played time. The one thing that will help you more than anything else here are extra bags. At level 10 make your journey to Goldshire in Elwynn Forest.
Levels (10-13) – ELYWNN FOREST
Goldshire, Elywnn Forest. Here is where the meat of this guide kicks in and the secret sauce, if you will. Your going into this area with a level advantage over all the humanoids there, including 2 additional skill sets where they only have up to level 6, you have level 8 and level 10 skill sets. Get all of the quests in Goldshire: Kobold Candles, Gold Dust Exchange, The Fargodeep Mine (these are in the same area, but don’t do them yet). Go to the Stonefield Farm to the southwest of Goldshire and get the quests: Lost Necklace, Princess must Die. Go to the Maclure Vineyards to the east and speak with Billy Maclure outside of the barn about the lost necklace. He’ll tell you he wants a meat pie – kill the boars in the immediate area until you get the required amount of boar meat. Before you leave Maclure Vineyard go into the house on the east side of the farm and talk to Maybell Maclure, she’ll give you the quest “Young Lovers”. Go back to the Stonefield Farm to the West and turn in the Meat to get the Meat Pie for Billy, also go give the letter to Tommy Stonefield from Maybell Maclure. Tommy is to the west on the river bank, he’ll tell you to talk to his grandmother who will send you to talk to a guy in the Goldshire Inn – but don’t go there yet, just get the quest. Now, back to the Maclure Vineyards and give Billy the meat pie and you will get the quest “Goldtooth”. BAM!!!! This is the secret to accelerated leveling which basically just boils down to “Time Management” because now you go to the Fargodeep Mines which are between the Stonefield and Maclure farms. Go inside of the mine and demolish the entire area (remember you are doing a level 7-8 quest now at level 10 but still getting full quest exp even though it’s a breeze at this point) Inside this mine you will complete Gold Dust Exchange, Kobold Candles, Explore Fargodeep Mine AND Goldtooth. That’s FOUR quests in ONE shot. This is my basic strategy. Turn in all the quests and back in Goldshire you will now pick up quests for “Explore Jasperlode Mine, Collecting Kelp, A Fishy Peril, Further Concerns, Shipment to Stormwind ect. Now go to the immediate east of goldshire to Crystal Lake and get the Kelp for grandma, take it back to Pestle to make the potion and to back to Maclure farm to give it to Maybell, quest complete. Journey to the east on the road till you come to a bridge where Guard Thomas is. Turn in the quest from Marshal Dughan and he’ll ask you to find the bodies of two guards, the first one is straight up the river on the west side, right off the shore, the second one is in a Murloc camp. Don’t spend much time here just go get the bodies and go back to Thomas. Turn in the quest and he’ll give you follow up quests for Murloc Fins and also Protecting the Frontier (10 Prowlers and bears). Go into the Logging Camp and Talk with Sara Timberlin for the Red Linen Goods Quest and Raelan for Bundles of Trouble quest where you pick up wood piles scattered around the area. Humanoids that drop the red linen you need are in an island in the middle of the river/lake, Bears and Prowlers roam the same area around the river, northwest of the logging camp, and there is the Murloc camp where you get the Murloc Fins BAM!!!! Red Linen Goods, Bundle of Trouble, Murloc Fins, Protect the Frontier, Discover Rolf’s Fate. FIVE quests done AT THE SAME TIME. Again, Time Management. This is the KEY. Southwest to Brackwell Pumpkin Patch… go straight for Princess, ignore the two guard piglets, loot the ring and start running, the guard pigs will stop chasing. On the way back to Goldshire stop by Jasperlode mine and go in a few yards, quest complete. Back to Stonefield farm, turn in Princess and back to Goldshire to turn in Jasperlode… you just did 2 additional quests on your way back to town. At this time you should be level 12, go up to Stormwind and turn in the candles at the 2nd store inside of Stormwind, go to the dwarf district and turn in the quest for Loch Modan and get your skills from the trainer. You should have picked up the quest for Westbrook Garrison needs Help. Go to Westbrook Garrison and get the quest for the Gnoll armbands and Hogger which are just to the north of the garrison. At this point you should be able to solo Hogger. Turn in the quests at Westbrook and Goldshire and get the quest to go to Sentinel Hill in Westfall. Congratulations – Your done with Elywnn Forest in RECORD time. Again, it’s all about getting grouped quests in a common area with common mobs. Time Management.
Levels (13-16) – WESTFALL
Going into Westfall you should get quests at the first two NPCs then go to the house on the way to Sentinel Hill and finally to Sent Hill. At these three locations you should have picked up quests: Poor Old Blanchy, Patrolling Westfall, Goretusk Liver Pie, Red Leather Bandanas, The Forgotten Heirloom, Westfall Stew, The Killing Fields and Peoples Militia. Between the Jansen Stead and Furlbrow’s Pumpkin Farm area ALONE you can go back and forth, in that same area, and get Vulture Meat, Boar Liver and Snout, Harvest Reapers and Gnoll Camps are all around. The watch of Forgotten Heirloom is in the house just north of the farm on the stead and the Murloc eyes are just down the hill on the coast. Just West of the Stead is the Jangolode Mine where you’ll find the Smugglers and Trappers for the People Milita who also drop the Red Leather Bandanas!!! Don’t forget to pickup the bags of Oats that are laying around all three locations and before you know it you have Completed EIGHT QUESTS all at once… TIME MANAGEMENT. You will have most certainly leveled at this point, turn in at Sentinel Hill get the flight path and go to Stormwind to skill up. While there visit Baros Alexton in the Cathedral District and get the quest to find his Compass in his old house in Westfall, you should have Peoples Militia part 2 also. Go to the Alexton Farm in west Westfall for the Pillager’s and Looters. The compass is in a chest in the burnt down house south of the farm. Go turn these and your done for now with Westfall… we’ll be back here soon but now we’re off to Loch Modan.
Levels (16-18) – LOCH MODAN
After turning in the box you’ve had for several levels to Stormpike he’ll give you another quest for Silver Stream Mine. Don’t do it yet, first go to Thelsamar and get flight path in addition to other quests. By now you have the basic Idea… Getting Quests Involving same type mobs or mobs in the same area. Group them together to reduce the amount of times you go back and forth between same mobs and same area. It’s all about TIME MANAGEMENT. Something to remember is that after you leave Elywnn Forest that each area will have a level range and you’ll come to a point where the quests are too hard for your level. Don’t feel like you have to complete one area completely before you go to the next area. It will be necessary to move on to other areas then go back to ones you have been before. In Loch Modan, for instance, You’ll get a quest from Stompike for the Silver Stream Mine and also from Thelsamar you’ll get a quest for Silver Stream and additional quest for cooking ingredients which can ALL be found by Silver Stream. Get all these quests before you go there so you don’t make 3 separate trips… TIME MANAGEMENT.
Now that you get the general idea behind my technique (which should be common sense anyway), I’ll give you a breakdown of where I would quest and at what levels. I don’t think you need me to go through quest by quest, that’s what http://www.thottbot.com and http://wow.allakhazam.com are for.
Levels 1-6
Night Elves = Shadowglen
Gnomes & Dwarves = Coldridge Mountains
Humans = Northshire (but not recommended*)
Levels 6-10
Night Elves = Teldrassil
Gnomes & Dwarves = Dun Morogh
Humans = Elwynn Forest (but not recommended*)
*As human your going to be behind the leveling curve of the other three races and the quests are going to be harder… Plus they are boring.
Levels 10-13 = ELWYNN FOREST
(Detailed Above)
Levels 13-16 = WESTFALL
(Detailed Above)
Levels 16-18 = LOCH MODAN
(Everything from Thelsamar, Ironbands Excavation Site and the Farstrider Lodge… Don’t forget Bingles on the southeast side of Loch Modan Lake. SKIP Dark Threat Looms, Mercenaries and Wanted:Chok’sul for now – come back to those later.)
Levels 18-20 = LAKESHIRE
(There are several level 15-20 quests in Lakeshire, starting with the guard on the road to Elwynn Forest, The kid with the lost necklace on the pier, lost toolbox ect. Look for quests: The Baying of Gnolls, A Free Lunch, Assessing the Threat, Redridge Goulash, Murloc Bounty, Underbelly Scales, Price of Shoes… there are a ton of quest that you can do but SKIP WANTED:Lt Fangore, WANTED:Gath’ilzogg, Shadow Magic, Solomon’s Law, an Unwelcome Guest basically all the Elite and/or level 20+ quests.)
Levels 20-22 = WESTFALL, DEADMINES & LOCH MODAN 2
(Basically you left after the 2nd part of People’s Militia from westfall, now go do part 3 in the southern Mountains at Dagger Hills, that line of quest leads into the “messenger” and the escort of the Defias spy to locate the Deadmines entrance. Go to the top of Sentinal Hill and get the quest for Wool bandanas and don’t forget to get the quest for Sprocket at the Dwarven District. You should now have three quests for Deadmines. After Deadmines go back to Loch Modan and do Mercenaries, WANTED:Chok’sul and finally “A Dark Threat Looms” located on the middle of the bridge/dam at north Loch Modan.)
Levels 22-25 = DUSKWOOD
(Deliveries to Sven, Dusky Crab Cakes, Eight Legged Menaces, Four Legged Menaces, Ghost Hair Thread, Look to the Stars, Night Watch ect… Basically remember the underlined theory here – TIME MANAGEMENT. There are a lot of quests that are in the same area here if you can manage to get them all before you start, instead of going back and forth several times. Start in Darkshire, head west on the road and grab quest for Spiders, hit Jitters at south end of Raven Hill then Sven on the Northwest coast… head straight east for Abercrombie, then before doing those quest go back to the town for turn in and get follow up quest because dusty crab cake parts drop off of spiders which you need for Eight Legged Menaces.. Goul Ribs drop off of the Gouls which drop stuff for zombie juice (rot blossoms) and also Plauge Spreaders… That’s 3 quests in one, every quest ties into ATLEAST one or two other quests – TIME MANAGEMENT. Do every quest here including all but… SKIP the last Worgen in the woods, the last part of Stalvan, Mor’Ladim, Bride of the Embalmer, Last part of Morben’Fel and Last part of Look to the Stars.)
Levels 25-27 = LAKESHIRE 2
Back to Lakeshire for the quests we stopped at. Lt. Fangore, The Elites Thrail’zun & Gathil’zogg, Blackrock Champions and the Corpral Keeshan Escort Quest. Lakeshire should be totally complete at this stage.
Levels 27-30 = WETLANDS
Get all the quests in town, there is a guy in the front of the keep and a guy at the top floor of the keep, also on the way out of Menethil Harbor there is a guy on the bridge with quest. You should have Young Croclisk Skin, Digging through the ooze and on the way out the quest to find the excavation site. You’ll have a quest for Murlocs and the Murloc Boss “Gobbler” these should all be an ease at this level but remember your getting full exp reward. Order of quests here is: Murlocs, Young Croclisks, Sida’s Bag, Greenwarden which is in the greenbelt area approximately in the middle of Wetlands map. He’ll give you a quest to kill Gnolls which are to the south on the way to Loch Modan on the left side of the road before the exit out of Wetlands, kill those guys and go back to turn in to Greenwarden, get next quests for the Fire Taboo (Flints). Kill the Gnolls just west of the Greenwarden for those and go back to get the 3rd and last Greenwarder quest for the swamp elementals. ONLY then go back to Men. Harbor to turn in quests. On the way back to Men Harbor hit the Orc Camp for the Blood warbanners, and for the Excavation Site, First Raptors are by Menethil Harbor before you enter the town on the left side. Turn Sida’s bag, The Young Crocs and the Warbanners and first Murloc quest. You should get follow up quests for the 2nd Murloc quest (finding a statue in a crate at one of the murloc camps), Get LARGE Croclisk Skins just north of the Murloc camps, Also in this same area you’ll start to see the Elemental Swamp Creatures. Go back to the Excavation site and turn in quest and get 2nd raptor quest with the “Artifacts” quest. You can kill the 2nd types of Raptors while picking up the Artifacts (Fat Vase, Skinny Vase, Pile of Dirt and Tomb)… Turn those in right away and get the quest to kill the boss Raptor (non-elite). Further down the road fight your way back into the Orc Camp to the Catapults and use the quest item to burn them… this will give you the follow-up quest automatically for Nek’rosh, the boss orc. You WILL need a team for this. While in that same area turn in the final Greenwarden Quest. Before you leave wetlands you will do the Cursed Crew Line and the Dark Iron Wars Line last. You have to do Dark Iron Wars to get the Kam Deepfury Kill Quest in the Stocades.
Levels 30-32 = STOCKADES
Instance in Stormwind, you can actually do this quest earlier but if you want to do all SIX quests at the same time you’ll have to wait until you do Dark Iron Wars. And the theme of this guide is Effeciency. TIME MANAGEMENT. You only WANT to go one time. From the stockades it’s self you should have Quell the Uprising and Bazil Thread. From the old town in Stormwind you need to get the quest “The color of Blood.” From Lakeshire you should have “What comes around” from Darkshire you should have “Crime and Punishment” and Finally from Wetlands you should have “The Fury Runs Deep.”
Levels 22-30 = DUSKWOOD–WETLANDS–DUSKWOOD2–WETLANDS2
What this means is that you may level in duskwood to 23 and see that the next quest is a tad too hard and you should go to wetlands and do the easy quests til they become a “tad” to hard… you may make several trips back and forth between duskwood and wetlands, but you’ll find that you’ll save more time that way instead of trying to fight your way through the harder quests. Again, don’t feel like you have to finish all the quests in one area before you move to the next, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK. Most of the time that turns out to be the most time efficient anyway. It is at this time, after the stockades, that you will go back to Darkshire and finish the quests you left – basically the level 30 plus elite quests: Mor’Ladim, Morbent Fel, Stalvan & the Last Part of the “Looking to the Stars”. Also if you have not done the last part of Worgen in the Woods.
Levels 32-34 = DESOLACE (NIJEL’S POINT) also HILLSBRAD
This is the time to make the hike to Nijel’s point. Make sure to get all the flight paths on the way. Also, before you go stop at the Ironforge explorer’s league for the Reagents Quest. Get the quests at Nijel’s point. You can only get one of the Centaur quests so pick “Strange Alliance” It’s an Easier line that Brutal Politics and you can do it at the same time as “Down the Scarlet Path” For quest specific information look it up on the websites mentioned above but basically you have to kill Demons in the Northeast, head a bit south for the first Centaur tribe for the Ears, Go west to a hut before the Kodo Graveyard and get the Kodo Bones Quest and inside the graveyard is a quest for Ghost-o-plasm in same area as “Down the Scarlet Path”. Continue northwest to the shore there is a lighthouse, at the base you’ll see another quest for scepter of light (remember that shipwreck quest… save it we’ll come back to it). Go to Thunder Fortress on the north side, on the road you’ll find the quest item by a broken down wagon. Go back up to Nijel’s Point to turn in the quests and get follow ups for Reageants and Vahlarriel’s Search. Also if your 34 by now you should to the 2nd floor of the Inn and get “Down The Scarlet Path” the pre-quest for Scarlet Monastery. Go back to Thunderaxe Fortress and do Vahlarriel’s Quest and Scepter of Light then go to the Kodo graveyard for Kodobones quest. Make sure you kill scorpian’s and Aged Kodo’s for the 2nd part of the Reagents Quest while your doing this. Turn in the Kodo Bones quest and go back to the Northwest Shore. On the shore to the south of the light house on the beach is a wrecked rowboat with quest item. You have to kill the lobsters and the Nagas for the two keys but before you go to the island, turn in the scepter because his follow up quest is on the same island!! TIME MANAGEMENT. After turning in that quest, off to the Skeletal Ravagers area. Kill the 30 Skeletons and also do the Ghost-o-plasm, go to the Kodo graveyard and turn in the Ghost-o-plasm then finally back up to Nijel’s Point to turn in remaining quests. The last part of Reagents is a lvl 40 quest that you can go back to.
Levels 34-36 = SHIMMERING FLATS
Yes you heard me. At the race track you can pick up SIX green/yellow quests. They are all “kill” quests and a pickup quest. If you go to the far east wall of shimmering flats the horde will never know you are there. The quests are CRAZY easy and you get hella experience from the kills. There is a kill scorpion quest for item, turtles for items, kill Baslisks, and Vultures, also there is a quest to pick auto parts up off the ground. THAT’S FIVE QUESTS ALL IN THE SAME AREA. Awesome easy exp. The sixth quest is to drop something off at Nessingwary in STV (stranglethorn valley).
DO NOT Pass this easy exp off. It’s well worth the journey and you can get Gagetztan Flight Path anyway so your definitely not wasting a trip.
Levels 36-40+ = STV & Scarlet Monastery
Start in Stranglethorn Valley (stv). Make sure to get all the quests in the Rebel Camp, Nessingwary’s Camp and Booty Bay. You can actually start in STV in the low 30s but the horde will eat you alive (literally). If you wait til level 35/36 the starting quests are easier, you still get full exp reward and you can defend yourself against oncoming horde (unless it’s level 60s there just to gank people – it happens). In between quests at STV you can do Scarlet Monastery runs. You should have atleast 2 quests for SM. Also if you feel your not quite ready for STV you can do some intermediate questing in Hillsbrad (also horde infested but not as bad as STV).
I may get more detailed on each area later… But this will have to do for now. Most of it is common sense, but I tried to drive a common theme. Do multiple quests in the same area involving the same type of mobs or multiple quest items that drop off the same type of mob. TIME MANAGEMENT and Efficiency is the Key to Accelerated Leveling. My mage is nearly level 37 with only a few days /played time. ENJOY.
