Archaeology? It's time consuming, but another alternative to questing. You can also do it while waiting for queues to pop.

I'm debating what to do here myself, having been through that Hellfire bottleneck enough already. I'm thinking of doing the same thing: staying in the new Azeroth until 60 and skipping straight to Zangarmash. We'll see...

Yes, do the dungeons. Consider the Archaeology. And que up for BGs. I AV'd my way through Outlands last time through and only had to quest for half my exp each level. If you add dungeons and Archaeology you can probably skip the questing altogether.

But you're going to need a lot more patience than you exhibited in that PuG you told us about in the other thread. AV can get frustrating if there aren't a dozen or so people who know what the drill is.

huh?

if its the za and zg thing.i have patience,but when people leave after 1 wipe and the group generally just falls apart,it isnt really my fault

but whatever,as far as pugging goes.im already irritated today after the 3 times in a row getting stonecore and failing,then queueing up for specific hall of origination and even with a mage and a hunter no one felt like CC'ing.so we ended up failing on the first trash pull and i got pissed and left

but that was probably more or less i was already irritated.i normally dont quit groups after 1 wipe.eather way,i think im gonna try just staying in eastern kingdoms until 60,then trying to goto zangarmarsh.if that works then cool,if not i guess ill eather get some greens for resto and heal thru outlands(im not getting boas for both feral and resto) or just force myself to quest thru hellfire peninsula

assuming i can actually get into AV though,because i know at the lvl i am now.i can do random bgs,and normally i can never get specific queued bgs to pop

Actually, I was referring to this:

but i kinda feel bad cuz i told the mage off and he was from my server.normally i shut my mouth when i see people from my same server but whatever.i guess after being in 3 in a row fail heroic stonecore pugs i wasnt in the greatest mood


That was from this thread.

Maybe you just need to read this.

That's what I did on my priest. I also did a lot of dungeon runs and barely did any quests in Zangarmarsh either. I think the zone I did the most quests in was Blade's Edge, and I only got about a quarter of the way through that zone.

Blades edge sounds like fun. I've gone Hellfire -> Zangar -> Nagrand -> Northrend, but that path is getting a pretty deep rut. Sticking around in Outlands until 70 is starting to have some appeal too. I haven't past Nagrand in a while now.

Here's 2 pennies:

Hellfire has more quest density and is slightly higher % of level per hour than Nagrand and much more than Blades Edge at appropriate levels. Skipping to Zanger isn't quite as efficient (if you hit Outlands at 58). If you wait for 60 I've found clearing Zanger -> Terrokar is the most efficient. Hellfire and Zanger instances generally go very quickly early in the level gains even if they're pretty boring now. The Terrokar instances were slower.

Also, for healers, PvP can be astonishingly fast XP/hour depending on when you're queuing. Worth a look.

The above is only if "per-hour" efficiency is the priority. If content or ease is more important... well, that's another thing altogether.

so healers get faster exp in bgs? because im pvping feral but i was under the assumption that it didnt matter if you were a healer or dps pvping it would still be the same exp

plus im horde,which half the time i queue up its just sitting in the queue,requeueing and queueing back up trying to get in.oh and i normally queue up early in the morning

Ok, I have to step in here and make a correction.

It is Outland, not Outlands. There is no place called Outlands. There is a place called Outland. Stop adding an unnecessary 's'.

Thanks for indulging my OCD.

I like how, out of all this, you only felt like you had to correct one word. Smiley: lol

Damn near had an aneurysm when I read the OP.

Despite all of the alternatives, questing in Hellfire will be the quickest way to get through it. Folks run the two instances there quite a bit; it should be fairly easy to find a random dungeon in that level, even as dps. Last night I only had to wait about 4 minutes as a dps.

I usually get to 61 then head to Zangarmarsh, which I also despise. I skip the annoying or long quests and do the easy ones, ones I can fly directly to (if you have flying at this level), kill a guy or 4, and turn in. No collecting 30 goblin debris or farming hellboars for blood they never drop.

63-64 I go to terokkar for the quick quests then off to nagrand which is much nicer for me. I like the quests there and there's tons of mobs to kill. Generally once I finish nagrand I only have a short bit left to go before 68.

I bet K$sha drinks it. Heck, I bet she sweats it.

As for the OP, I'd go with the archeology idea myself. Especially if you plan on doing it later anyway, it's a good chance to skill up and level up all at once. Especially since you'll have a flying mount anyway! You don't need to do archeology in Outland (in fact you'll need to start in Azeroth), so by the time you can use it in Outland odds are you'll have gained a couple of levels anyway. Just mix and match questing and relic hunting.

At least I am going to assume that's what the OP is referencing. A quick google search leads me down that path also. It could also be a drink. -shrug-

I also want to point out that the shift key on your keyboard is used to make the first letter of a word in a sentence a capital. Also hitting the space bar after a "." or "," really helps with those of us who are trying to make sense of your text.

If you want to quote someone you can do it one of two ways.

1. Click the Reply to Post at the top of their post. Then below your subject line there is an option called "Quote Original". Clicking that will quote their entire post and have their name in the quote so others know who said it.

2. You can copy their text (however you choose to do so) and when you are making a new post click the "Quote" button between "Color" and "Code". Then put whatever they said into that new area between the two [quote] and you have quoted someone in a much easier to read format.

On a side note, what is wrong with making friends in game? Some really good friends come from inside World of Warcraft and due to distance constraints I would have never met them in person. Plus you need decent fire resist to go outside. :(

I actually enjoy questing in Hellfire Peninsula. It has a huge quest pool with 3-4 different hubs. I can easily go from 58-63 or so just running hellfire quests and queuing for citadel dungeons. Usually after that I hit up Zangarmash until 65 and head to Nagrand. I've always liked Nagrand for some reason.

I've actually never received the loremaster for Terrokar and frankly never touched Blade's Edge or Netherstorm. I'm actually finding it difficult to go through the whole Northrend grind for another character.

I'm with Hyolith, TBC isn't bad at all compared to Wrath.

Hellfire is a great example of old style questing, which benefits those who have done it before. I can see how someone who has never been there would get frustrated with being sent to the same place 4 times to kill different things, but by your 3rd time through, you should be flying through TBC so fast it's impossible to get upset about it. It should take under 2 hours per level 58-68.

Wrath is the drag for me. Even with the 4.0 exp redux, it takes an ungodly amount of time to get through some of those levels. Furthermore you cannot get into Cata without getting all the way to 80.

Frankly, though, no complaining about either of these places really merits any credit: the lowered level of flying along with the increased speeds, the exp required reductions, the overall strength of players at those levels, the introduction of Dungeon Finder, and a long list of other shortcuts makes leveling up to 85 completely trivial.

If you're wanting to do Archaeology to level, I'd save it for 75-80.

Not that it's a terrible zone or anything; I remember my first trip through the magical portal to the land of the hippie space goats being rather epic and what not. It's just the bottlenecking that gets to me.

Most of the rest of the game has like 2+ zones you could be questing in at any one time. With the OL stat and experience inflation and all, you can kinda feel locked into doing Hellfire. Compare it to Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord, I can take twice as many characters through there before it feels as worn as Hellfire.
