[@RamblingRiyzen]

When I first started in BC. I didn't know about mount training and saving gold. I would spend all my money on weapons and armor from the AH. I would buy white weapons from vendors. I would buy lots of Alchohol from inns because I loved the drunk effect on screen. That was until I hit level 40 and only had 20 silver to my name. I didn't have professions because I didn't know about them, so I decided to start over and actually saved my money. The game taught me a valuable lesson about money at a young age.

@@MrArteez Nope. 60% mounts became available at level 40 and 100% mounts at 60. And it stayed that way until cataclysm. And yes, higher levels can earn you more gold thanks to better equipment and rarer mats but the largest source of income after selling those to the AH were quest rewards. You had to work for money back then.

Back in vanilla i started doing battlegrounds at lvl 19 on a fresh server, and kept it up all the way to lvl 60. At lvl 58 i was in full champion gear running around in Western Plaguelands getting attacked by enemy lvl 60 players then kicking their ass like it was nothing. I was the highest ranked player on the server from lvl 19 to rank 12. It took about 2 months, and i was 2% away from Warlord when i stopped the grind because my guild started to raid in Molten Core.

Classic will probably be shortlived though, everyone's already been through that adventure, it's going to be a race to 60, people will clear raids within 1-2 weeks of classic releasing, and on release date for later phases. It's going to be fun and i'm looking forward to it, but you'd best temper your expectations, it's not going to be THAT mindblowing.

[@OceanSoul1969]

I'm really looking forward to the grind though. And there will be content in 6 phases. it will take me a long time to make it to all of the dungeons! I'm just so sick of today's game

[@zzdoodzz]

Great tips and reminders. A lot of leveling is up to personal preference, whether to rush through it or take time and enjoy all of the game. I am leveling my first toon in the classic reboot by reading all the quests, getting into the story, trying to get all the instance quests, basically taking my time to have fun and relearn the game. Now should I later want to level a different toon then I will be more interested in speed leveling.

Totally agree that Stranglethorn Vale can slow down the leveling with getting sidetracked with world pvp. Its slowed me down considerably, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Most fun zone in the game and worth every minute!

[@michaelweileder8328]

Important point: quests don't give less XP when they turn green. They only start giving less once they turn grey, by a percentage for every level higher you get. Green quests just give "less XP" because they give literally less flat XP than higher level equivalents, and you need more per level as you level up.

[@YourTheManNowDawg]

A good way to think about dungeon quests is that they are typically the climax of the stories in the zone they reside in. If there is a dungeon in the zone you are leveling, you are probably going to get the quests after completing some or all of the quest chains in the main questing hub area or notable areas around it. Don't neglect quests! Speaking of quests, save yourself some trouble and do all of the quests you get at the same time before turning them in. More times than not quests are grouped together by area. The quests at the Crossroads in the Barrens are a perfect example of this. As long as you are completing all of the quests at the same time as you get them, you'll typically be working on them in the same area. It saves plenty of travel time. Plus, to me, its super satisfying to run back into town and see nothing but a bunch of gold "?" signs everywhere.

[@dcruz985]

Yeah, that Booty Bay fp..... I remember way back, when I started playing WoW. I was late getting started, a whole 6 months after launch! I went hunter, great having pets to protect u, a real pain having to run to stable masters to juggle ur pets and having all that pet food in ur bags. Loved it tho. But I just HAD to go get that Booty Bay fp at lvl27. I was so fresh at the time, I didnt know about the boat at Menethil, but I had heard so much about Booty Bay. So silly me tried to run all the way through STV. Yup, it was just as bad, as u imagine. Once past the first quarter of the way I was pretty much screwed. I was also committed, there was no going back, I was getting killed either way, so I figured, I might as well finish. After ½ hour or so, long past all my gear turning red, a high lvl player heading for the arena, having seen me get about 50 yards while dying at least 5 times (that dazed effect was horrible back then!), took pity on me. He escorted me the rest of the way to Booty Bay, showed me the fp and the boat and told me about the boats and airships. I dont remember his name, but that guy was a hero. I never ever made that same mistake again. I have a LOT of alts, coz I love trying it all on different classes/races. But I never ever EVER tried running through STV again. But damn, how I miss Vanilla. Everything was a lot harder back then, but it was a lot more challenging and hence to me a lot more fun. Im all giddy about Classic 😁

[@nobodycares362]

Final levels always ended up being atunement quests/thorium grinding for mining skill for me.

[@KVPMD]

Pretty sure that was not in 1.12. They added a lot of new quests (including Silithus) over time. Have you counted dungeon quests? BRD alone has enough quests for 58 to 60 I guess (at least when including doing the dungeon 2 times to complete all the quests).

[@coffeepothead7981]

Loving the Jet Set Radio song at the end :D

[@lorgaraurelian1480]

Thank you for the video! Personally, I grinded mostly to gather mats to level a profession or to craft a specific item. Usually, there are 1-2-3 spots for this in every zone( like Yety cave near Tarren mill, another Yety cave in Feralas, turtle shore at Dustswallow marsh,....). As for leveling up, ones I did all easy and comfortable quests in a zone, I moved to another zone, even some mobs are already green for me there. (like going from Barrens to Sepulchere and back)

[@Taintedmind]

I would Instance Grind, instead of Mob Grind to help w/the lvl gap and to get the top tier items for your lvl; it's far better XP in the end, since it's boosted by group XP

[@Storyfrombolvar]

Don't be scared to swap zones. Quests end fast and mobs give the same amout of exp in the same lvl zone. Remembering from 15y ago I had an exact path of no-stopping quests. Elvyn, Westfall, lockmodan, peeks, duskwood, arati and hilsbrad, then Stranglehood valley, then swamps. Non-stopping questing saves a lot a gives a lot of items to sell.

[@Voojitsu]

Speaking of flight paths: if you're horde leleving in hillsbrad/arathi go to Badlands and get a flight path there. This will allow you to fly from UC all the way to Grom'Gol and Booty Bay. Idk if there is a similar thing for alliance.

You made me realize what I kept doing in retail that made me so bored. Thx you just got me to resub.

[@Zamolxes77]

For banking issues, think ahead on names, characters etc and create an alt, one of each class. You can also attribute them professions in advance, so you can ship specific mats to them. For example, my Mage is tailor/enchanter, my druid is herbalist/miner, my warrior engineer/weaponsmith, my rogue is Leatherworker/skinner, my Hunter is Alchemist/skinner or herbalist, paladin a miner/armorsmith, etc. Some jobs get overlapped, but I generally pick 1 profession for that character that would benefit them most, plus a gathering for that profession. That way you can level up your profession as you gather for it and xp. You can very quickly reserve the names and do something similar at the start of a new server, get them into the capital by the bank, then level up with 1 main.

Some of the stuff is not really a mistake it´s only makes you slower, but most is really helpfull thanks

[@MidwestBoom]

Atlasloot already has that feature it's called atlas quest you can click on any dungeon and it'll show you all Quests for horde and Alliance side is there a chain and where to obtain them

Title should be, "Most common mistakes made when trying to power level." I leveled far too many characters because I really enjoyed exploring each zone and then learning the different quests for each class in those zones. I mean I loved the exploration, and still remember the music that went along with changing areas in a zone. I really loved going through, getting a quest, reading it and trying to figure out how to accomplish it. As someone who got out of gaming long before WoW got out and only happened to learn about it through a free trial disc inserted in a Sports Illustrated subscription I was hooked from the moment I entered the world. Haven't touched it in eight years, but might have to download it just to check in and wonder around a little to bring back fond memories.

Reputation gain matters too. You need honored with your racial faction to get a 10% discount at the mount vendor. If you are human and want a dwarf faction mount, then you need exalted with Ironforge.

That quest log ui is nice on the eyes.

3:00 I'd also suggest using WeaponSwingBar or similar addon for that.

4:30 "Keep in mind that dungeons don't give great experience in Vanilla" LOL *Looks at everyone level 30-60 in dungeons*

[@Spamhard]

People on these vid guides have always said dungeons don't give great experience. I suppose it's semi true if you're taking into account the time it takes to find a group, travel there, potential wipes etc. However, if you've already got a group and you know what you're doing, farming a dungeon over and over again is a great way to xp grind and also make a buncha money. I see a lot of LFGs for SM farming, such an easy run and you get good drops and mats and easy xp. I love a good dungeon farm.

If you want to do dungeon then okay don’t forget to bring two spares so they can summon ya to each dun

[@noobingtosurvive]

I'm not going to rush anything I'm going to play a rogue and focus on getting as many kills as possible on my way to 60 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@victoria4127]

Love the JSRF music, and love the videos!

[@prodbyryshy]

i like how ur first topic was the first thing i thought of when i saw this video

[@shapeofclassic6221]

If you plan to go even a bit serious, for the launch I’d say pick one of these two strategies: 1) Go all in with gathering professions and accept your fate of being a bit slower leveler. However if you save all the ore/bars/herbs you’ll be rich once majority of people hit 60 and start leveling professions more. 2) Level fast without caring about gathering professions and try to buy everything off the AH for your main profession/professions always when you have the chance. For the first couple of weeks AH prices will be significantly lower and you’ll get mats rather cheap. More efficient way of leveling your character and main profession in my opinion. Also frees you to take for example enchanting as second choice instead of gathering. With alts and stabilized economy it makes more sense to keep up with gathering tho. :D

[@spooglet3279]

They’ll actually be higher. Supply and demand are linked in an inverted way - one goes up, and the other goes down until the cycle is broken. At launch, good luck gathering anything or buying anything off the AH. People will be snapping everything up and putting it on the AH at higher prices.

[@DrunkenGuitarGuy]

the biggest cancer there will be in vanilla will be KNOWLEDGE!! the vast majority are going to know the game inside and out, as compared to in vanilla when the vast majority had never played a game like that ever!! i still think it will be fun and i am looking forward to it but it won't have the "magic" of the first time through!! looking forward to world pvp! also +1 on kill everything in sight for efficient leveling!

[@jesh010]

Hot dang i might have to replay jet set radio future now thanks to the end of your vid.

[@sainthubbins1982]

Some low level spells are your bread and butter at 60, rank one earth shock (13 mana cost) interrupts lvl 60 spellcasters or priest lesser heal or rank one heal ability (i cant recall) mixed with decent gear allows you to spam cast on main tanks in raids rather than blowing huge amounts of mana on high rank flash and greater heals. I'm sure this applies to all classes in some way.

[@zepho100]

Biggest tip, go Alliance because Human jokes are the best.

[@yaheard3918]

FOR THE HORDE!!!!

[@brianstewart7191]

One does not simply power level in Vanilla WOW. Enjoy the journey.

[@anttihakkarainen9250]

Got WW Axe at lvl30, now Thrash Blade and Flurry Axe (both with fiery weapon) at lvl45 on my warr :) makes thing sooo much easier and fun! Good tips, I'd just add that remember to have food/water also, it'll cost some silver but makes leveling much faster. Love your vids, keep up the good work :)!

[@dylannoonan9751]

Good stuff man. Make more pleases!!!
