Project Lore

First one! and yeah i did do 25 quests

i'll probably be leveling the good old fashioned way like i always did .... quests ... :) i love all the lore and seeing everything and going to places ... not really interested in getting to the endgame fast cause .. .well cause i'll get there eventually so no need to rush it :)

@eugen i think that way to why so fast lvl 80 why wanna be the first i just wanna see whole northrend and instances ofc why rushing it if you have all the time to get to lvl 80

Even though I'm excited to get into the lvl 80 endgame content, I'll probably spend a fair amount of leveling time by doing region quests. This will be my first expansion where I'll start at the previous level cap with good gear (I really started WoW just after TBC came out), so for Burning Crusade I took my time to really see all I could and loved it. I wanna do the same with Lich King, and while I'm very excited to be starting endgame sooner than last time, I'm also excited to see all there is to offer.

I totaly agree with Eugene. Quest and explore all the way. Im gonna stop and smell the roses every chanse i get :)

Tank here, the idea of instancing all the way to 80 seems a bit boring to me, think ill be specing a nice pve dps/prot spec, may be a bit of weird one but still, would allow me to instance like crazy while everyone is back from work/school and go and get my q's done late or when im supposed to be studying
thats how im planning it, enjoying the expansion without the thousand other players in the area aggrovating me with there evil mob stealing ways

theres my rather long winded way of getting to level 80

I think i will just make my druid feral and do instances and questing while looking for a group just the same i did from 60-70. with my hunter i will focus on questing i realy hate dpsing in groups only tanking and healing i like.

sorry for bad english.

I think the most effective way is going to be a mix of quests, grinding, and dungeons. I'm not sure how effective running 5 mans repeatedly will be, once rest XP runs out. I try to usually be doing quests in dungeons if I am doing them.

I buckle down, hone in on quests and start going off. Its sort of tunnel vision in a way but I have a really good set of friends to jump in and out of leveling with as well so if the group questing bug itches I got a cure.

But with the 70's I'd like to make 80... I have a rather uphill climb.

I think it would probably be faster to level by doing quests. Instances get you alot of XP, but Ive tried in TBC both ways and I have found that leveling from quests (with a few instances thrown in along the way) is much faster and sets you up with some good gear once you hit peak level. In TBC finsihing one quest can get you 12k exp points just for turning it in. I will be questing my way through Northrend and hitting up the dungeons when I have quests for them.

im prabobly going to be overwhelmed to be honest...im going to want to do every quest every instance...mine every ore and do absolutely everything there is to do so ill prolly run around for days and get absolutely nothing accomplished...but i think i will end up taking my time and level up to 80 at a steady pace...and i say that now but when i hit 60 it was all day and all night questing till i hit 70 and once i hit 70 i realized i didnt focus any attention on anything else...tunnel vision i guess...so theres a 50/50 chance ill be really fast leveling or slow steady paced leveling

I don't want to put a downer on your post Bastosa or any1 else that is planning on having 25 complete quests sitting ready for LK ( i know im doing to do it) but the exp from turning them in is only really gna work out to be roughly 1/3 to 1/2 a level if actually think about the numbers.

I can't wait until the patch comes out, and i wont' lie... i'll probably grind feverishly until i feel i'm at a good enough level. Which is probably gonna be like 78 79 before i start to really look at the stuff around me. I mean, end game is gonna be there when i get there, it's not going away, however, i don't like the idea of others being higher level then me. Just the way I roll.

I'm highly competitive, haha, so me and a guy friend of mine are gonna compete to see who gets to 75 faster. :D

I'll prolly be leveling as fast as I can, doing quests and as much instances as possible, love seeing lores and such, but instances do give better things, more exp and well, basicl justy awsome! but I still love seeing the loreso I will be doind as much quests as possible and also in each area, not just 1 side of the ilse of what ever and sticking to that, but I want to see everything! :-D

greetz, Mike.

Instance grinding is always going to be slower then questing. So if you're going for speed, the fastest way (especially with you being a prot pally) is to get a friend or 2 and aoe grind quests.

Skip quests that aren't "Kill x amount of mob" or "Kill mob, collect x amount of item." So basically only do the grinding quests.

By just doing the grinding quests, you'll get a little less xp than what you'd get killing a mob in a dungeon, but you'll kill a considerable amount more when you turn in the appropriate quests. When you get all the quests that go with an instance, do a run and you'll see alot of xp out of the instance then just killing the trash.

My idea about a year ago when I had bought B/C..was all to get ready for Lich King...so right when I bought it...I stayed a protection pally all the way up..granted it was grinding mostly all the way did instances here and there....
So when I made Level 70...I really loved the stats of the retribution BG Armor set out of Champions Hall...
So I started getting everything that was Scaled armor...this is not what I suggest for anyone to do at all...but what it did was make a Prot Pally more capable with higher dps than usual way below a ret but more than normal Prot....I did this for normal gameplay and not for the instances...since all of it was Ret armor...there is one major plus to a prot pally...we can tank like 4-5 ...maybe 6 npc's all at a time...I have quested alone quite a bit...and getting into Lich King...that is sort of my goal...to quest and level as fast as I can...

I know that the Totally Rad Guild is out of Executus Realm..and that is a PVP Realm...you all focus on the PVE stuff...but since you are in a realm that is contradicting your main intent...I hope that there is a weekly episode to where the actual homies in your guild who totally love pvp to come out talk about Honor, Battlemarks, and Arena Points system for Lich King...
I do know that this is going to be sort of special...that after level 70...level 71-79 are all for Skirmishes...and then level 80..restarts a whole new Arena level of PVP..
when you hit level 71..I think you lose all your arena points that you have left over from level 70..so no carry over to use for level 80 gear...
My whole plan is to get to the Arenas ..earn arena points as early as possible....getting into the new 80 level gear is a must for me since...I really do love pvp...

Oh...I forgot to say...I do respec for Ret when folks truly need me in instances ...for dps....been working on getting a decent tank set..but I abandoned that a while back...so I know my logic of all of this is off..it will throw off all kind of arguments and everything...but I do love playing a prot pally...with the Shield and Sword at my side...when I got the ret gear..I got ganked a whole lot less than ever...

Project Lore..great job on the shows and on the Forums..totally rad guild great job hope to see some monster raids in the next week....

Questing on offhours and or grinding rep (I'm not exalted with anytihng in Northrend yet :( ) Instancing when opprotunities are available.

Was the first 70 in my guild, everyone figures I'll be the first 80 too :x

But this time I have to level 2 toons >.<

I haven't really come up with a plan for WotLK, to be honest. Let me set this up:

I've been very busy trying to get my hunter alt -- Lithala, if you're curious -- up to lvl. 70 before the next expansion comes out. And if I'm not leveling her, then I'm busy trying to complete as many dailies as possible with my main. (I'm basically the only breadwinner on the WoW account that I share with my twin @_@ ). I haven't bothered with leveling my other alts because I'm not going to delude myself into thinking that I can get them to lvl. 70 in time.

So trying to look ahead... I will get Lithala to lvl. 70 (probably won't have much epic PvE gear, much less PvP), which'll free me to re-spec my main from enhance to resto if I so choose. Why would that be good? Although I do solo leveling, it's only because I have a very hard time finding groups to do any instance with. Now that I'll have a character(s) at the cap level already , I hope to be able to catch the initial rush (unlike the last time, when TBC was released).

But if all that doesn't work out, I guess I'll be stuck doing solo leveling again. :|

I agree. Assuming that each of those 25 SMV quests would be worth roughly 12k experience upon turn-in, the most a player would get is about 300k. That's definitely less than half the experience that's required to reach level 70.

I think I'll probably go at my own pace catch abit of northrend from time to time maybe level a DK alt or hell maybe switch them to my main if he's epic enough

I recommend you to save up 100 Oshu'gun Power Crystals. They give you xp as well when you turn them in. It even gives you xp when you're max lvl now. Maybe that'll help as well. ;)

You'll find me and my guild leveling in 5 mans to get to Nax asap.

It's gonna depend on the rest of the guild, but I'll be leveling with 2-3 people at the minimum. Already have the week after release off (as do the others). Ideally, I'd like to be in Naxx within 1-2 weeks of release.

right now I gotta get to 70 XP
anyway, I'm in beta and trust me, some of the quest chain introduce some awesome cinematics and plot twists, and even a version of a city-raid *coughundercitycough*

plus some of the massive battles for quests really put the WAR in warcraft
