Speed Leveling From 90 to 100
My sixth DK at level cap. Good lord.
I’m clearly out of my goddamn mind.
As of this morning, well afternoon actually, I was staggered to realize that I had just leveled my thirteenth character to 100.
Holy. Shit. Really? Damn. Okay, well, this is my post I guess.
I wanted an Alliance DK on another server. Now I could have taken one of my already-capped-and-ready-to-party Horde Death Knights and slapped a faction and server transfer on him. But for an extra five bucks, I could just boost the DK I already had on the server and take some time to cap him out. I already had a few Elixirs of the Rapid Mind, so it wouldn’t take too long to do and it’d give me something to do.
Turns out, it probably would have taken just as long to transfer the character as it would to get the boosted Death Knight to 100. It was crazy fast, is what I’m saying.
Yes, flying has definitely made leveling quicker. I’d torn through the content to powerlevel a hunter from 90-100 already, so I knew what I was doing. With this DK, it wasn’t so much focusing on getting him to 100 as it was making sure I had enough garrison resources to get to a Level Three Garrison. If I had maybe another hour or so, I probably could have done it.
(Edit — Just after I posted this, I found a post on WoW Reddit that mentioned a thing called a Huge Ogre Cache that you can usually buy off the AH, and it rewards ONE THOUSAND GARRISON RESOURCES! So nailing a Level 3 garrison on a fresh 100 is doable if you have the gold.)
So if you’ve got a toon that is sitting at 90, and you made the effort to get flying, then what the Hell are you waiting for? Just get that thing to 100 and get ready for Legion.
Mad Season Show was good enough to put together a slick guide to help point you in the right direction for getting from 90-100 in under TWO HOURS! So check it out and get leveling.
Alliance Speed Leveling 90-100
This has been a busy couple of weeks for me. I’ve recently started a temporary training position for a new job, which means working a new schedule. It’s shift work too, which brings more time off but less things like sleeping and forming coherent sentences without a metric ton of coffee in my system at any one time.
I also started leveling up two Alliance characters on a new server.
My DK was already 90, so he got to dip his toes into the Draenor pond. I’ll just say this – for a guy who hates the snow and cold like I do, leveling through the Alliance’s Shadowmoon Valley was a breath of fresh air. At least, it was for the ten minutes I was there. I actually had to go back because I missed a quest that rewarded me with a follower. It was in the first town in the quest chain once you leave your garrison. I’d left my garrison and went to the next zone, not town. So I had to backtrack.
How did I get going so quickly? First, I beefed up my plate heirlooms to cap at 100 and geared the DK accordingly. Next, I knew I wanted to use the Potion of Accelerated Learning. The trick was getting one hundred garrison resources. My DK took a stroll around the scenic countryside and murdered several rare mobs, scrounged up a few treasures, and got enough resources to buy the potion. Twenty percent XP buff from the potion, about 45% from heirloom gear, 200% from rested XP, and I knew I’d put on levels.
Ready to rock, I had two choices – clip through quest chains, or engage in some bullet leveling.
My selection: Click-click-boom, baby. And Bellular gave me the ammunition.
Naturally Elvine gets credit too.
The good news is that I went from 93 to 100 in a few hours. The bad news is that I don’t have the garrison resources, or gold, to get my garrison to Level Three. Also, I’m looking to apply to a new guild and now that my Alliance DK is 100 I’m going to have to quest anyway to get his rep up.
Speed may not kill, but it can hurt your rep. And your wallet.
And your garrison.
