The War Within: From 1 to 70 with Kraken Latte
Leveling alts. We’ve all been there. Logging into World of Warcraft, seeing your roster of half-finished characters, and realizing that, despite your best efforts, they’re still sitting in the mid-60s. Dragonflight came and went, but most of my alts? Never even reached 70.
Frustrating, right?
I stopped playing in April 2023 during the Dragonflight expansion. Life got busy, and the grind wore me down. Fast-forward to September 2024, and I decided to give The War Within a shot. Coming back to WoW, I didn’t want to waste time slogging through levels, especially with all the new content waiting to be explored.
That’s when I found Kraken Latte’s guide – “How I Level 1-70 Solo in 5-6hrs in The War Within.“
I’ve followed her guides in the past, so naturally, I was stoked when I saw she had one for The War Within. Kraken Latte’s guide isn’t just for people like me coming back after a long break—it’s for anyone with a mountain of alts and not enough time.
So, if you’re staring at your character list and wondering how you’ll ever get them all to 70, trust me—this guide is worth it.
Watch the full guide here:
Get levelling, and see how fast you can climb from 1 to 70. It’s easier than you think.
