    This pinned comment is where I'll go over any additional points I forgot to discuss in the video, or where I'll detail any changes that have occurred since the video was posted.
    Edit 1/24/24: For Horde players, the recent Gilneas Reclamation in 10.2.5 disrupted sections of the Silverpine Forest questline. Everything is still completable, but you'll need to use a workaround that I discuss in this video: th-cam.com/video/OKYHdTEBQXI/w-d-xo.html
    Edit 7/6/23: I got YET ANOTHER World Record run, but this time it was actually kinda ridiculous. I did 10-70 in 4 1/2 hours, and my 10-60 time was only 2 1/2 hours. This new run was also done with Guardian Druid, unlike my two previous WW Monk WRs, and you can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/8YN6DM3kH0Y/w-d-xo.html
    Edit 2/12/23: Following some recent tests, I've begun including TBC dungeons into the level 10-30 routing as I believe it's faster in specific cases. In this video I discuss all of my research and explain when you should and shouldn't level through dungeons: th-cam.com/video/2q4G-4u69c4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Okwzd0OGA6mI3JoW
    Edit 12/28/22: YES OK I KNOW THE TOY IS 10K NOT 5K I MISSPOKE IM SORRY STOP LEAVING THE SAME COMMENT 500 TIMES! Also, yes, I'm now aware that the Thrallmar Mage trick is working again. This has been fairly inconsistent, as there was a period of time where the mage was not teleporting people to Khadgar. Good to know it's now working again.
    Second, if you're behind on experience, just continue following the route and you'll hit 60. The level ranges given in the guide are suggestions, not rules, and if you use absolutely no experience modifiers, you will need to finish in Spires of Arak (as the guide states). I get this comment a lot, but there are way too many variables in modern WoW leveling to predict the exact level that everyone will reach at any given point.
    Lastly, this should be obvious, but the 3 hours in the title is referencing my world record. The point is to show that this is the time you CAN achieve, but this is with practice and proper planning. A casual time of 5-6 hours with this route is normal and is still much faster than any alternatives. You can't expect to magically match a world record time on your first attempt.

      It seems like mob scaling has been altered with the release of pre patch phase 2. I tried running both a WOD intro & invasion farming, and the XP yield from invasion farming was substantially higher than the amount of XP I received from WOD intro based on time spent. This was primarily due to the fact that the mob scaling & time required to clear quest mobs seems off. Perhaps some slight adjustments will increase the efficiency, but as for now, it is my experience that invasions are faster.

      @@tornadopip123 Mob scaling hasn't changed at all compared to what I tested it with. If you are personally getting better results with invasions, that's fine, but I can assure you that the route is faster when completed efficiently.

      @@Harldan1 Dozens of people on reddit are reporting difficulties with killing mobs, simply due to the fact that the mobs after pre patch phase 2 today, are more hard hitting and tanky than usual. This obviously must impact the amount of time your route is able to efficiently be completed, ultimately deeming invasion XP yields better. I myself have experienced this as well.

    I'll admit, I was very skeptical when I got to Spires of Arak and I was only level 46. I followed the guide to a T, not skipping any of the steps. I got a whole whopping 14 levels without even finishing all of Spires. This guide truly does work if you follow it.

      I appreciate this, but keep in mind that the video is structured this way because there's a bit of information overlap between the Horde/Alliance sections. As a result, if you're skipping past either faction's section, you may need to rewind a bit to get the information you missed, especially for the WoD zones.

    Followed the guide and I have a lvl 60 of each class sitting there at my disposal for dragon flight in a week. Ez peazy.
    Took me ard 5~7 hours for each(gotta factor in familiarizing each class mechanics as I'm new to the game. Also, some classes are just faster for solo pve)

    So I levelled a my first ever character through BFA, hit lvl 60 and then instantly started another character because I wanted to try something different. I knew that I woudn't get anywhere NEAR the 3 hour time but it was a clear route to follow so I dived in.
    This guide obviously isn't intended for players with 0 game knowledge and there was some stuff I had to figure out on my own/Google lol, but honestly i feel like I learned SO much about the game from this guide. Getting a Dalaran Hearth so I can port around easy is fucking amazing. In the first section with all the zombie peoples you have to run to Silverpine. The area you run through was burnt to fuck though and I kept dying trying to pass it. I'd die, res closer to the other side, inch forwards, die again rinse and repeat. 4 deaths in I saw that there was a random NPC out in the open so I spoke to her and she changed the time of the area and all the fire went away, so I could run to Silverpine without problems.
    I learnt how to use Chromie, where portal rooms are, more about dungeons, my way around Ogrimarr to get a mount (It's fucking confusing) and just generally increased my game knowledge a lot. I had to google some stuff, but it was all oh, so worth it.
    I played over the course of two weekends and finally got my lvl 60 in Spires, after doing a pretty fucking awesome quest chain with some big fucking bird spirit who you controlled and went aroung slashing people a few times with your wings. My /played at lvl 60 was over 22 hours lmao. 22 hours well spent though IMO. Thanks so much for the guide!
    PS the written version of the guide was REALLY helpful.

    Over all great video. I did see your pinned comment and it all makes sense now. Obviously, I didn't make it 10-60 in 3 hours or anywhere close for that matter. My two cents, I think a lot of people would just make better time if they stuck to just clearing a timewalking expansion from Chromie and stay there. If you're not familiar with certain things, it's easy to waste a lot of time jumping to new areas, where as if you just stay where you are they guide you all the way through the exp remains constant. Anyways, thanks for the vid! Maybe on my next character I will fair better.

    I also highly recommend using heirloom gear to do this, upgraded up to 5/6.
    If you can't afford a full set, it is still worth considering buying a 2-handed weapon. Caster-class weapons will give a huge boost to intelligence and for strength/agility classes all your skills damage are proportional to your weapon damage. If your class/spec uses 2 weapons, you'll need to buy only a single one-handed weapon, since they're non-unique (you can use the same heirloom to create two and equip both).
    This will make you kill normal mobs with 2-3 skills, as well as elites and quest "bosses" with a single rotation, saving you a lot of time and allowing you to tackle those elites and 3-player-quest bosses .

    The horde side part of the guide I think might not be 100%, I followed it specifically to a T and ended up finishing hillsbarad wayyyy under the level the guide listed I should be, that includes rares and extra quests finished in hillsbarad that the guide told me to skip. My solution for this was to actually head back to the snowy area in WOD and do more quests that the guide didn't say to do until I was the proper level to move on to the next step

    there’s a quest in Gilneas called what tomorrow brings that I cannot seem to complete without a flying mount... it requires you to examine a telescope that is inaccessible, unless you can fly in to the area, unless I’m missing something - likely due to the newest patch. They fixed a wall that was broken prior.

    • @Harldan1
      @Harldan1  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yea, I'm aware of this, and you're correct that it's due to the Gilneas Reclamation in the newest patch. I have a workaround for it that I discussed in my discord, but it's really weird since you basically need to glitch yourself up a wall. I'll probably make a short video covering this within the next few days, provided it doesn't get fixed (and it probably won't since Blizz doesn't give a shit about leveling).

    Thank you for this, straightforward and super helpful! I'm gonna see how many I can get done this coming weekend. Are there any variations that include more LFG dungeons? Or is there a specific expansion that's most commonly used for dungeon leveling?
    Any idea if the XP from the elemental invasion is efficient?

    • @Harldan1
      @Harldan1  ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I have yet to test the elemental invasion XP, but my friends have told me it's above average, but not on par with my route. As for dungeon leveling, it's overall going to be a slow process, so I don't have any recommendations to speed it up. I just simply wouldn't run any dungeons from 10-60.
      EDIT: Having spent a few hours testing invasions, I can confirm it's slower. People are getting bamboozled by stockpiled rested XP and the 40-60 XP reduction. My route is still significantly faster.

    Surprised Legion didn't make the cut. Valsharah and Highmountain are great once you have flying. How was the speed on Shadowlands? I assume terrible, what with all the RP.

    • @Harldan1
      @Harldan1  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      A lot of zones are great once you have flying, but you have to compare them against Hillsbrad, Loch Modan, and Gorgrond, which are all extremely efficient zones. I might make a video covering some other alternative zones like WPL/EPL or Stonetalon Mountains in the future, but I wanted to keep this video focused purely on the fastest stuff.
      As for Shadowlands, it's actually not even working currently on the beta, but it's safe to say that it won't be efficient. Threads of Fate probably still wouldn't have been worth it, but it's something I would have at least considered looking into. The Shadowlands campaign, on the other hand, is one of the least efficient leveling experiences ever designed, so I don't even need to test that to say it won't be fast.

  • @BlindArtificer

    I think Post Dragonflight launch the experience required is a bit more. I basically had to finish Hillsbrad just to get to level 30 before Draenor.

    Did they nerf this route slightly for the Horde end at least? I'm following the guide step by step and upon completing Hillsbrad Foothills I'm level 37 instead of 45 (I started the zone at ~25)
    I did turn on Warmode, I am in chromietime, and there currently is no darkmoon fair however that should be only a 3-4 level gap, not 8.
