Are you ready to level up like a pro in Classic/Vanilla WoW? Look no further! Joana, the master of speedrunning 1-60, has shared her top tips and tricks to help you level faster and become a true WoW champion. So buckle up, grab a drink, and get ready to dive into Joana’s secrets!
Avoid Professions to Level Faster
If your goal is to level as quickly as possible, then it’s best to avoid professions. Professions can slow you down and distract you from your main objective. Instead, focus on leveling up and only consider professions if you’re a casual player looking to earn some extra gold on the side. Joana herself only uses First Aid as her profession while speedleveling.
Grind Mobs While Traveling
When traveling from quest to quest, take advantage of your journey by grinding on mobs along the way. This will not only help you gain extra experience points but also make leveling faster overall. In Classic/Vanilla WoW, soloable quests alone won’t be enough to get you from 1-60 without some grinding. The key is to balance your grinding with questing to optimize your leveling process.
Keep Your Food and Drink Updated
To level faster, it’s essential to always have the latest and most effective food and drink. Regenerating mana and health faster through eating and drinking is crucial for efficient leveling. Make sure to upgrade your food and water as soon as you hit certain levels (15/25/35/45, etc.). Additionally, conserve your mana by using more efficient abilities before reaching these levels, especially if you’re a hunter.
Make Use of Your Hearthstone’s Cooldown
Did you know that your Hearthstone’s cooldown continues to tick down even when you’re logged out? This little trick can save you precious time while leveling. If you’re following a guide that tells you to hearth but your Hearthstone is on cooldown, simply log out for a short break and log back in later to teleport back to your hearth location. This not only saves time but also allows you to take breaks in real life.
Create a Bank/AH Alt for Better Inventory Management
Having a bank/AH alt on every server is a game-changer. Instead of wasting time going back and forth to the Auction House or your bank with your main character, use the mailbox as your “bank” and “storage system”. For example, if you come across valuable items while questing, send them to your alt through the mailbox and then use your alt to sell them at the Auction House. Similarly, use the mailbox to store items that you don’t need immediately but might need later. This optimization ensures that your main character’s inventory remains free for essential items.
Plan Ahead and Optimize Your Actions
Knowing what to do next can significantly speed up your leveling process. While questing or fighting mobs, always plan your next move. For example, identify the next mob to attack while fighting the current one and use the most mana/energy-efficient abilities. By having a plan in mind and optimizing your actions, you’ll save time and level up faster.
Use Auto-Run and Hotkeys for Efficiency
Auto-Run is your best friend while leveling. It allows you to continue moving forward without continuously pressing keys, freeing up your hands to type or do other tasks. Additionally, using hotkeys instead of clicking on icons saves time and enhances your overall efficiency. Joana has shared her preferred hotkeys for hunters, including targeting, movement, abilities, and pet commands. Using hotkeys will make you feel like a pro and level up like lightning!
Focus on Questing Rather Than Grinding
Questing has several advantages over grinding. It allows you to take breaks between turning in quests or moving to different areas, preventing burnout. Questing also prepares you for dungeons more effectively by introducing you to the necessary prerequisites along the way. Additionally, questing increases faction reputation more efficiently than grinding and provides a variety of gameplay experiences, reducing boredom. So embrace the questing life and level up with excitement!
Choose the Right Weapons and Pets
To level up faster, Joana recommends sticking with one type of weapon throughout the game. For example, as a hunter, she prefers staves. Using a consistent weapon type eliminates the need to level up new weapons, saving you time. However, if you do choose to level up a new weapon, use abilities like disengage, raptor strike, or mongoose bite to speed up the process. When it comes to pets, Joana suggests using high DPS pets, such as cats, and pets with high attack speed for optimal performance.
Miscellaneous Tips and Tricks
- Memorize where to buy potions: Healing potions can save your life and help you level faster. Know where to buy them and take advantage of this quick and affordable resource.
- Don’t waste gold: Save your gold for important items like mounts. Most weapons and armor can be obtained through mob drops and quest rewards.
- Reduce downtime during First Aid: Build up your First Aid skill while traveling on boats or zeppelins or during escort quests to save time.
- Consider doing dungeons: While not recommended for speedleveling, dungeons are worth doing if you have a good group. They provide a fun aspect of the game and can reward you with valuable items and experience points.
- Practice makes perfect: The more times you level to 60, the faster and more efficient you become at it. So keep practicing and honing your skills!
Phew! Those were some juicy speed leveling tips and tricks from Joana herself. Now it’s time for you to put them into practice and level up like a pro. Remember, speedleveling requires focus, efficiency, and perseverance. So grab your sword or staff, summon your pet, and embark on your epic leveling journey. Level up, hero!
