Tip For Levelling Alts

[looorg]

Wouldn't a trip to night elf zone put you in fling distance of two Horde zones?

Tanis would require travel to Dustwallow, so I doubt flight paths would exist for lowbies.

set HS in Ratchet or BootyBay. everything is more or less close then (except hillsbrad)

[Millie]

Have you done it?

I have.

I can level through questing 1-60 in about 12 hours and I consider myself extremely slow, there are people who get way further in less time. In 12 hours you're getting 6 invasion zones. Unless you're getting 10 levels per zone (protip: You're not) then you're leveling slower, just because it's simple and AFKable does not make it super efficient. You can stop questing when they start and hit them for a nice boost then continue questing after, but replacing questing or dungeons with them is only going to slow you down a lot.

This also doesn't account for this undocumented mystery 15-60 quest exp buff people have discovered recently, you can read more about it here.

The best part is that you can just go afk until it's done and do something else.

Not sure if that's the "best part" for someone who wants to play and not just afk their way to something (even though I imagine a lot of people do after participating in stuff called lfr), for me it's pretty sad I kinda HAVE to afk as any lowbie that is a melee character, having nearly every demon hit my lvl 30 or 50 alt for 50%-90% total HP on full loomed char is pretty much non soloable and non healable if there's a healer nearby either.

Millie, I'm lucky if I get to level 25 in 12 hours. What are you doing?

[Nurvus]

Imo you should still focus on the Dungeons with available Quests and use Invasions to fill in the gaps.~

If anything Invasions make you a lot of gold for low level, because the drops are worth their Lv100 amount regardless of your level.

[Thage]

Just an FYI, the loot from the chests scales when opened. So if you get them at 20 and you open them at 100, they'll be level 100 items. It'll be good for those trying to get their weapons.

Ooh, that's good advice! I'll save up my large chests from here on out on my non-100s.

[Serissa]

If you are for whatever reason gearing up lowlvl alt (probably experience disabled) do NOT hunt for warforged gear.

It doesn't provide item level or stat increase. Just "Warforged" label

Just got it on some of my starter ed. charcters - http://i.imgur.com/JnB6rh5.jpg

Dont understand why people hyped for invasions under lvl 60...I only do the westfall one, rest seems kinda far away for alliance.

Cant really travel much...or do we have flight points discovered on auto

hm...edit: checked and can fly to IF as well...thats dun morogh, westfall and maybe hills rather easy....good for AFKing and doing chores

Also pretty fast to take the train from Stormwind to Ironforge (or the other way around) to do the Dun Morogh invasion. Don't fly between those cities. Unless you want to AFK in the mean time.

[Glaziola]

Pretty fast leveling as long as you chain characters.

Some people just always want to be negative, argue or be insulting all the time even if they don't know what they are talking about.

Have you done it? If getting multiple levels an invasion how is that not fast and easy? Just attack the mobs that spawn in the cities for more xp. Have a few friends or guildies go with you so you can cover the whole city and you get crazy xp. Up to 5 levels or more per invasion for low levels. With the xp potion from garrison up to 2 levels an invansion for higher levels how again isn't that fast?

For something that takes 20 minutes to maybe a half hour once every four hours. And they is doing both invasions

? Because you then need to relocate... or wait for the reshuffle.

You'd be a lot better questing and running each dungeon once for the quests inside, even after the xp nerf at the end of a dungeon.

3-4 lvls or 12+ with pot in 10mins is not fast at all mkay

You can also get those 3-4 levels (or >12+ with pot) running dungeon, most lasting less than 10m, with the difference that you can simply run another dungeon right after, instead of having to relocate to the other invasion spot, or simply wait hours for it to reshuffle\reset.

It's limited supply. There are vastly better options if you want to level fast.

3 - 4 levels per invasion + scaling loot

I get around 3/4 of level per invasion.

[ComputerNerd]

I thought you had to be level 100 to do invasions Oo

No, invasions are scaled down.
Level 10 is it seems the lowest it will scale down to, but that doesn't exclude you still.
It is just harder.

You receive the rewards scaled to your level, the weapon and armor will be scaled to your level, and as of the hotfix can go a little better too with warforged.
While you can use the equipment, it is still level 98 before you can apply the appearances, though you can earn them at any level.

Broken Shore scenario requires level 98 however, but as that is remaining available after release, that might be why blizzard are keen to leverage the new scaling tech as to not exclude players so much from very limited events.
Especially given what I expect has been an influx of an undetermined amount from the movie.

how much % xp you get from completing one invasion approximately?

[PragmaticGamer]

You receive the rewards scaled to your level, the weapon and armor will be scaled to your level, and as of the hotfix can go a little better too with warforged.

To put the level scaling in perspective, the gear I'm receiving is the same stat budget as the heirlooms I'm wearing. The secondary stats (haste, critical strike, versatility) may be shuffled, but the total primary stats remain the same, and the total secondary stats remain the same.

Never did I say that it was the fastest way to level go reread my posts. But if you are anything like me and have over 30 level 100's it is a new way to level that is indeed pretty quick and easy.
Some of us might be quite bored of leveling by now this is a new fun way to do it.
Add in I can be in a group with friends and we can all be different levels and all still get xp and it is even more fun.
Add in if I save the boxes and they all become level 100 gear so a toon will be geared instantly and how else can one level in that fashion.
Or open some boxes and get 30 gold a armor piece and 60 gold a weapon where else can a new toon get easy gold too.
Sorry you have to mr negative on everything but I will continue having fun and leveling.

[bigsuirlife]

1-60 its insanely fast...problem is 60-80 (toooooooo slow ) but you can fill this gap using boost xp invasion now.

True not the fastest ever way to level but it is quick, fun and most importantly different.
Dungeons aren't fast either if not a tank or healer and even then can wait in que. also if not fully rested and already did dungeon quests or don't have it dungeons don't give that much xp.

But questing and dungeons also don't give loot boxes which one can save up to level 100 and give them level 100 gear or open some along the way and get 30 gold an armor piece and 60 gold a weapon. You don't not get they much gold from anything questing or doing dungeons or have gear for max level.

So see it is all perspective and if you don't want to do it good for you.

"in less than a weekends worth of play time" I stopped reading from there lol

[Thoughtful Trolli]

this is all very nice and stuff but I just found out about it so consider it nerfed.

[Gully Man]

Been enjoying this. I got a warrior to lvl 37 in 5 hours of AFK. It will only get better once the invasions are more frequent and will save me having to pay for faction/server transfers.
