Heya guys!
Really looking forward to the launch, will probably be epic.! But.....
The starter zones will probably all be overcrowded as hell, so i started looking for some info online on exploration leveling.
The goal is to get to lvl 3 as quickly as possible (by exploration xp) and then start killing lvl 5-6 mobs outside the starter zones.
This is what i did to get to lvl 3 in about 25-30 minutes, from perspective of an orc/troll:
1. Accept the first quest, finish it in The Den about 5 meters away.
2. Run to the hidden path, towards Ratchet. ( Merchant coast + Ratchet )
3. Run from Ratchet towards the Crossroads, die on purpose about halfway there, spirit res. Grab FP. (Crossroads)
4. Start running north, towards the vine area with all the boars ( Thorn Hill )
5. Go further north, then east at the intersection towards Durotar across the bridge. Just before the bridge is another xp node ( Far Watch )
6. Run towards Razor hill, grabbing the exploration xp from razormane grounds on the way ( Razormane grounds + Razor hill )
Hearthstone in Razor Hill?
7. Run towards Tiragarde, grab xp, die on purpose, spirit res at Razor Hill (Tiragarde Keep)
8. Start running towards Orgrimmar through the ravine, grab the harpy area xp (Razorwind Canyon)
9. When exiting the canyon, run a little to the west. Grab the Thunder Crag node ( Thunder Crag)
10. Run towards Orgrimmar entrance, grab the xp. (Orgrimmar)
11. Run to the Zeppelin, off to Tirisfall Glades now!
12. While flying over Tirisfall glades, jump of near Deathknell. This will kill you, spirit res in Deathknell. Apparantly Deathknell has no exploration xp, just tested it on K2.
13. Grab the delivery quest at the gates of Deathknell.
14. Run towards the Solliden farm a little north of where you exit Deathknell, and then towards Agamand Mills ( Solliden Farm + Agamand Mills)
15. Run back south towards the road to Brill, grab the Nightmare Vale node. (Nightmare Vale )
16. Start running towards Brill, grab the stillwater pond and Coldhearth Manor nodes on the way ( Stillwater Pond + Coldhearth Manor)
17. In Brill, hand in the delivery from Deathknell. (Brill)
18. Start running north out of Brill, towards Garren's Haunt (Garren's Haunt )
19. Run east, towards Brightwater Lake. Die on purpose, spirit res in Brill (Brightwater Lake)
20. Run towards the Undercity, make sure you run all the way up the hill to the gate. (Ruins of Lordaeron + Undercity)
21. Run back to the road, start heading east. Grab the node just north of the road at (Balnir Farmstead )
22. Keep running further towards the Bulwark, grab that node too. I was already level 3 here, but it was close enough.
Hearthstone
At this point I was level three and able to kill level 5 mobs. I hope that This will be enough to be a little ahead of the tsunami of players that will be running around.
Tips for improvement are appreciated.
See you the 31st!
