    There are some really good questing zones out there for basically every expansion, you just need to find them haha. Silverpine Forest f.e. will forever be my most beloved leveling zone, all my chars went through it, and it never gets stale. Tbf it seems like they had the perfect formula there but never used it for other zones. You have lots of frequent rares which give quite a good junk of XP, a great story, you ride alongside Sylvanas, it has an awesome ending and I think the first ingame cutscenes (the lower quality ones with your character) they ever did. Just get yourself an artifact weapon at level 10 because they are quite OP at the start. Sprinkle a few dungeons in it, get your Garrison for your free lvl 25 pet later on and you should be 50 at the end of your favourite zone(s).

    Btw, from 50-60 you can now do a daily Torghast run which gives 30-50% of a level and is surprisingly fun.

    The zones have to match the character concept for me. Which functionally leaves something like Shadowlands as dead content from the start, since as a setting, it doesn't inherently match any race or class.

    Well, you will be able to ignore Shadowlands once 10.0 hits, Chromie Time will be expanded to level 60 afterall.

    Unfortunately, that'll be in a year or so, and I have an army of dead alts sitting at 45-50. I want to get prepped for Dragonflight, particularly with the aforementioned year until new content, but I can't subject myself to that.

    Jesus, Tom Chilton is working on this mobile thing? There goes my theory he could work on some big wow revamp project xD.

    Sadly 50-60 has no Chromie, but pacing right now is perfect. On Alliance I just finished fill the bar + dungeon in every zone and I was 60. Bonus objectives now are faster than world quests. Also I always finished with ~65 renown, so in 9.2.5 will get 80 during leveling.

    I don't doubt that it's efficient. But I barely got through the content on my main, and only got my "secondary main" to 60 after an 8 month break. I'm not strong enough for this particular slog.

    I adore The Ghostlands for my Horde Alts. The TBC style questing might not yield the perfect xp/h or anything, but I like picking up 13 quests and then go around the zone in a big circle. It's actually one of the zones that I think benefited much from the scaling tech. I just sit in the Dungeon(And BG) Queue while I quest and by the time I get to killing Dar'Khan Drathir I'm in the mid level 40's.
    Love the Ghostlands.

    Huh, it goes much faster for me. War Mode on, 3-5 dungeons total, do all bonus objective since they are so fast and I need only two zones.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    50-60 leveling is that fast now? I thought Threads of Fate wasnt very good, but I guess I had the wrong idea.

    How long does that take?

    I just did it on my alt and thought it was pretty fast.

    I skipped dungeons entirely and only chased the zone and Torghast metas while doing the side quests and bonus objectives. I imagine with WM, XP buffs and rest XP (if you have any) it would go really fast.

    Threads were always faster, simply because doing story brings a lot of downtime in many quests when NPC's do RP. Now they made Bonus Objectives actually doable, so Threads is even better. Gotta mix it with dungeons/WQ's a little.

    Just by doing the zone bars I have reached 60 on the past 3 alts, but I also realized that by starting SL on 51 (they were some old alts sitting in Oribos having done the Maw intro) I don't manage to fill the last zone bar before dinging 60.

    Maybe I should swap some zones, because it has happened by leaving Revendreth for the end.

    So it seems like we've got another ptr build tonight. Boring so far.

    PTR build has a new little stable model for that updated area in SW next to the mage district and stockade

    School of hard knocks actually being removed is quite something. Never understood how it was allowed to stick around all this time since WotLK wheb it was objectively the most difficult and frustrating achievement in the entire world event meta achievement.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    They reduced xp requirements and made bonus objectives and WQs incredibly fast.

    Got my druid from 50-60 in just a few hours by running from one objective to the next, with the ocassional dungeon inbetween.

    The stable stuff may just be where they move the mount trainer, perhaps?
