[@BiosparksTV]

Just to clarify since a lot of people are asking in the comments - Blizzard has confirmed heroic keys will require Revered reputation to access them. This guide will get you to Revered in 4 out of 5 reputations. The image of the heroic keys all say *requires Honoured* because they are all from post-nerf reputation databases. Apologies for any confusion.

[@theHOF123]

Which reputation would we need to continue working on? And which heroic dungeons is that rep tied to?

[@BiosparksTV]

@@theHOF123 The last reputation would be The Sha'tar since you don't get access to their dungeons until you have a flying mount at 70. If you want to get revered with them just spam Botanica runs it has the most reputation and it isn't too long.

[@theHOF123]

@@BiosparksTV sweet - thanks. Also one additional question and not sure if you have this planned for a follow-up but quests? We would then go back zone to zone and start doing quests after the dungeon grinds right? And that could potentially take us near exalted?

[@BiosparksTV]

@@theHOF123 Yes, although you might not have enough quests to take you all the way to exalted but you also get a serious amount of bonus gold from quests at level 70 but you can do that in whichever order you please.

[@theHOF123]

@@BiosparksTV awesome thanks! Yeah that’s the plan. Trying to knock the rep grind out as fast as I can so I can enjoy questing afterward. Just hoping the dungeons will net me enough gold for an epic flying mount along the way.

I've watched so many of these videos and this is easily the most organized and simplified, thank you!

[@baneleaf7025]

Absolutely masterful guide. This is nearly word for word what I did with my tank/healer alts after I leveled my main Warlock through the quest chains in each zone during BC. I started playing WoW at the very end of Vanilla but did not really start to play a lot until a few weeks after BC launch so I missed the massive crowds. But once I got to max level and started moving alts through it was easy to find groups and would just do this exact same grind. Bookmarked, subbed, and looking forward to more content.

[@marsumane]

This is great. I love how you have the exact rep per run and give recommendations on which is better. Keep this quality up and you will def get more people.

[@thomasbuck6352]

Awesome video! Regarding first mins of launch: I remember there is a quest chain that leads you into Honor Hold, for which you have to do quests outside of the Portal. I guess the best Idea is logging off inside the portal location? Don't bother with the quest, and just ride to HH?

[@safersephiroth943]

You get a sub, good sir. Great work.

[@eccentrikhat3863]

I like how you pronounce lieutenant at 12:39. Too many British people use the American pronunciation. I salute you, good sir.

[@Petter1900]

Good video! These types of videos usually spend a lot of time saying absolutely nothing, but this was very clear and presented in an informative manner. There's murmurs that instead of going Outland at launch, you go Stratholme instead and clear that until 61 or 62, at which point you might be able to get summoned straight to the next dungeon. But perhaps not worth due to no getting rep. Heard anything about that?

[@BiosparksTV]

The main issue I have with staying in Azeroth dungeons is firstly, like you said, the lack of reputation. The second is that the formula that the game uses to grant experience has a bonus for Outland mobs which makes TBC dungeons far superior compared to Azeroth dungeons.

[@CeilingPanda]

Good luck with your channel, got this in my youtube recommendation and it looked good, so hopefully others have seen it as well!

[@dutchiixo259]

Hey Man, i would love to see a video for the fastest leveling route for pre-patch as alot of people will be leveling their blood elf paladins/ Draenai Shamans. Specifically Horde side would be so amazing because i am slightly stressing on getting mine to 60 before launch. Great vid btw +1

[@cixidelmont1008]

If you're looking for a good way to track your attunements, I suggest the "Attune" addon on curseforge. Not only it tracks your attunes automatically in-game, but also lets you know where all your guildies stand in their chains. Works with Classic and TBC - It's awesome

[@Elazul.Lapislazuli]

great vid. I will use it to convince my dream kara-team-members to follwe my plan. I have planed a similar route, but I would make the kara questline after hitting 70 as you cant progress that far befor beeing walled by Arcatraz. my priority is: 1. Getting 70 2. Getting Kara attunement 3. Heroic Keys for Honor Hold/Thrallmar; Lower City; Cenarian Expedition and Shar'tar. 4. Complete all other Heroic Keys.

[@andrewshandle]

IIRC the Kara quest line gives a lot of XP and I'm sure it gives some decent quest rewards too, so getting a jump on it at 68isn't a bad idea...plus it kind of breaks up the monotony of dungeon running a bit.

[@RebelSun14]

Great Vid

[@andershou2328]

Nice video, cya in TBC!

[@zackneley3043]

for arcatraz any rogue with maxed lockpicking can open the door ( i think it works for Shh too)

[@akoch29]

Hi man, great video - thanks for the content! Can you (so far) confirm this guide is working with what we know from the TBC beta in terms of xp & rep gains per run?

[@bobbins5037]

I can't see TBC beyond the following: > Enter Outland > Lag /wait/slowly work your way to the quest that requires burning the catapults near the opposing faction base > Enjoy the outright massacre that follows. Great guide! Although I'm not one to rush to max level and will enjoy it at my own pace, whether it takes a week or a month. But it's still very informative and detailed! You deserve more subs than you have :)

[@bobbins5037]

Also, a question (for the community too). In theory, would it be not be also very efficient to mob grind /dungeon grind until you are ahead of the pack and then quest uninterrupted? Like, dungeon your way to 63 (Terokkar) and then power through the quests?

[@BiosparksTV]

The option for questing is always there, and there isn't any real downside from doing so other than you'll miss out on extra gold that quests give from being level 70 (which is quite substantial when you add it up). One advantage that mob grinding has over questing however is limited travel time, since you're pretty much in the same place other than going back to town to vendor and repair, but it really is down to the individual.

[@tyson5073]

Also any hunters watching and you don’t have hit, try respeccing to survival and talent into the 3% hit, it’ll definitely help if you’re dungeon grinding

[@LeemingR]

I remember smashing quests and leveling pretty fast...like 2 levels a day in maybe 4-5 hours play time each day. Basically did a zone a day. I should admit, I was a Warlock.

[@cheeznite1985]

You are now in my watch later playlist along with all of my other TBC Classic guides so that I can be ready to no life the game until my parents disown me.

[@multiestonian]

No matter what you plan out, remember that Horde and Alliance will be starting from the same place. Alliance and Horde both entering the same portal. Pray to god that you make it safely to Honor Hold, i can't wait to play TBC classic. I'm going to take 2 weeks off from work just to play it without having to go to work. May the light be with you, Hero.

[@sjsajhdashaggagya6589]

isnt the dark portal a sactuary area?

[@CRBarchager]

@@sjsajhdashaggagya6589 Not that I recall no. And even so after you entered Hellfire it's game on and you're PvP flagged if you're on a PvP server which unfornately is the case for alot of people as there are too few PvE servers and they will also be packed and have huge queues because of the large amount of people that want to enter here.

[@GuyHeadset]

I’m playing a rogue, so at least I have a higher chance of not dying I suppose.

[@thecsciworker291]

You mean, take 2 weeks off AFTER launch?

[@computerpwner]

If the 30 day lockout is still in effect you could always do 2 different dungeons per reset. You would effectively be able to run 60 per day. This is also fairly easy to do since the dungeons are located in hubs.

[@andrewshandle]

The 30 dungeon lockout is for all dungeons, if it was 30 per dungeon you'd never have a problem.
