0 to 60 in 48 hours
Well 47 hours and 25 minutes really.
I’m not that fast a leveller normally, I dilly and dally and RP along the way. The new quest flow really helps, and I think the mobs are tuned to not hit as hard as they used to. Certainly Elly is the least squishy mage I’ve ever rolled. though Shadowmeld helped a lot there.
Ellylldan barely set foot in the Eastern Kingdoms (apart from Pilgrim’s Bounty) I’ll save that for my next alt. Though I will skip heirlooms and aim to dilly dally as I go with that one.
I even had time to take some screenshots along the way.
This is Elly hitting level 40. The new complete a quest and pick up the next one ‘on the run’ meant we were mid air in Thousand Needles when she dinged. I just thought it funny and a bit different to the usual standing in front of a questgiver.
You should really do Thousand Needles for a bunch of fun quests and a preview of water walking, which looks a lot like moon walking on a Night Elf. There’s a questline that starts with saving pridelings, who then follow you around and eventually help you out with the final quest in the chain. Very chucklesome
I went to Tanaris next, which hasn’t changed much, so retraced my tracks to visit Felwood. Which has. There’s a Worgen outpost and goblins are chopping down trees. I also got to see the early story of Illidan play out
thought there’s a bit of a continuity error there as Malfurion was a normal looking Night Elf when this happened as it was before his transformation in the Emerald Dream.
There is so much new content it’s probably going to take me the next six years to familiarise myself with it and while Ari does a bit of exploring every evening my main focus between now and the 7th is pushing Elly as close to 80 as I can get.
Though Ari did the new Shadowfang Keep for the druid staff quest. It’s the same model as the Draenic Wildstaff from Auchenai Crypts but comes in a handy caster version, and as you probably noticed I got distracted enough last night to log on to Ari just to have a dance with my moonkin hatchling
