How will warlock get the lvl60 mount if Dire Maul is in phase 2 ?

[woof]

The warlock 60 mount quest involves killing a summoned boss in DM, but DM is only accessible on phase 2 along with BWL according to what we know, did blizzard overlook this or am I missing something? I'm thinking about rolling a lock and this rly confuse me.

[Machismo]

You wait, just like in vanilla.

lol thinking you'll hit sixty before phase 2

60 will be hit well before phase 2. You people that act like vanilla is rocket science is hilarity.

[lonely zergling]

Just get a normal mount.

You buy a regular Epic Mount. In any event it's way less work to just farm the gold than to go through all the Warlock quests to get the Dreadsteed.

I think p2 will drop right after New Year’s, and only pretty hardcore players will be 60 by then. The kinds of players that won’t have a lot of trouble ponying up 1000 gold.

I think a lot of people will hit 60 during the holidays, actually, the game will have been out 4 months and people willfinish it off instead of arguing with their in-laws.

[Tyraes2208]

This quest was added in 1.4.0 which came with Dire Maul which means it is unobtainable until Phase 2. Realistically this will come available 2-3 months after launch.

[Taenaeris]

Isn't it going to take approximately 120+ hours /played to get to level 60? That's going to take a casual like me some 3+ months (and since I'll probably level both a Warlock and a Druid maybe even some 5+ months).

Everyone playing the game will hit 60 long before New Years. Vanilla was only difficult because nobody knew wtf they were doing 15 years ago. Everyone knows how to play the game now.

Hardcore players who rush to lv 60 hit lv 60 anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Average players are 2-4 weeks. or 1 month. while more casual or new players take 2-3 months +

Hell my very first character i ever made back in vanilla. took me a full year to reach 60. lol. but that was because i didnt know shit and had no desire to hit endgame fast. i played and enjoyed the game for what it was.

these days, on private servers it took me 3-4 weeks or so. but that was at 1-2 lv a day after lv 30. ( i like to pace myself. 1-10 in 1 day. then 10-15 or 18 next day. 20-24. and so on untill around lv 30. then i pace 1-2 levels a day)

Only if you’re running around with no direction.

Well, I'm definitely going to plan ahead-of-time, but I also want to enjoy my leveling experience.

For me, it's not just about getting to level 60 as quickly as possible, but I'd also like to make some friends, join a guild early on, level my professions and - in case I pick the Druid instead of the Warlock as my 1st character - do some early Feral Druid Dungeon tanking to figure out whether or not I like that play-style.

What's an estimated /played time that I should expect under these circumstances?

About tanking - I was a main tank in Draenor and Legion and know about the differences in Classic. That Druid will essentially be an experiment for me to figure out whether nor not I want to be a tank in Classic - and I'm fully prepared to re-roll into a Warrior later on.

Only the most hardcore of the hardcore, will be able to level up and farm the 1000 gold you need to get a epic mount before phase 2 releases.

There is not much gold in the economy at the beginning, so working the AH is very slow goldmaking, best way to farm gold is to simply kill mobs that drop valuable grey items to vendor.
Dire Maul is the single best instance for gold farming, but since that wont be until phase 2, you wont really see much epic mounts until phase 2 hits at all.

So i dont really think you need to worry about the epic mount quest, read up on what you need for the quest so you can complete it asap when it become available. And if you are in a raid guild, talk with your fellow warlocks, and make a deal about sharing the expenses on the summon items, that will save you a ton of gold

Edit: This depends on how long it take for Phase 2 to actually release though, if they wait a long time before they release it, there might be quite a few epic mounts prior to P2

You likely will not have the gold to get everything you need by the time phase 2 comes out. I know there were 5 locks that pooled gold for mats. Then resold runs after to other locks.

Lol thinking leveling is really that difficult in Vanilla.

120hours are 5days of played.

Even with directions you will easily take that long if you are not diehard rushing it.
And in case you play a slow leveler class you might even take that long when dieharding

The world record is 4d 20h. Let me know you /plaed when you hit 60, will ya?

[Taenaeris]

I recently watched some video on YouTube where somebody gave 120 hours as a rough estimate for speed leveling one of the Tier 1 classes (Hunter, Druid, Warlock) - assuming that you know what you're doing and skip all profession and dungeon quests. And they said it'd take a lot longer for other classes - especially Warriors.

[Kyranna]

If you don't speed level, hitting 60 takes anywhere from 200 hours as a hunter to 260+ as a slow leveler. 10 to 13+ days of /played. If you are the type of player that uses a single character, say you wanto be a warlock and nothing else, and you can play 2 hours per day on average (like people with jobs and families), you will be 60 by Christmas time, give or take a week or two.
While an epic mount is desirable and helpful, it's not mandatory unless you pvp a lot. Most warlocks may be able to get a dreadsteed soon enough, the summon items were often rented for a fairly low price compared to the 900 for a purchased mount.

[Kirovsk]

You have to wait. But it gives you time to prepare for it, depending on how quickly you want to level. Keep in mind the cost of everything involved.

[StillMcfuu]

A lot of people are talking about leveling speed, but the real problem is going to be the gold. There will be no economy, and it will take a while to get to a point where there is 1000g available for regular players to make. Not to mention the gold sink of leveling and other costs from just leveling. And then once you make it, if you forsake all other gearing and optimization, you can go get your epic mount.

You'll also need to find someone who leveled just as quickly as you did and did their professions, to make the arcanite bar.

Actually, if servers were capped at whatever number we had in vanilla then you'd be right but since layering is meant to address extreme numbers on servers you can expect multiple times vanilla numbers per server in classic , since there hasn't been any news of auction houses being layered too then you can assume the entire server is sharing a single economy even if players are layered.

The more players there are the more gold exists in the economy and thus the auction becomes more fruitful.
