Leveling 201: A Guide to More Enjoyable Leveling

Zin'rokh, a Destruidora de MundosExperience Gains

Most every player will gain some experience by killing mobs. The color of the mob (green, yellow, orange, or red) will determine the amount of experience you receive and show how easy or difficult the mob is to kill. Mobs marked as grey give full reputation but no experience. If a mob has a skull instead of a colored level, this means you are probably too weak to kill it on your own. If you group up with a higher-level friend while killing mobs, your experience gained will be drastically reduced. Cataclysm has added many rare mobs to leveling zones--killing these will give large amounts of experience.

Quests grant experience in a similar fashion to mobs--they use the same color-code. Grey quests give full reputation but minimal experience. Try to stick to quests that are yellow or orange. Some group quests, which grant additional experience, can be soloed by some classes.

There are also cooking, fishing, and profession dailies that will scale in experience as you level. If you're heading back to a major city before logging, consider doing these first. You'll gain cooking and fishing skillups for completing the quests.

It's not the fastest way to level, but every successful Arqueologia dig grants experience and it's affected by rested and heirloom buffs. It's a relaxing alternative and possible way to get your account some more epics.

Gathering Mineração and Herborismo nodes also grant experience that scales with rested and heirloom buffs. The experience gained is based your level and the profession skill level required to loot the node.

Dungeons are sub-zones that five players can party up and battle in. Players are eligible to queue up for random dungeons at level 15; at this point, a Dungeon Finder option will appear on your mini-bar (hotkey letter i). Queueing for a random dungeon will reward you with better experience and Algibeira de Itens Úteis containing useful leveling gear--until queueing for Wrath instances. After this point, you will receive Pontos de Justiça and gold. Bosses in instances tend to drop better loot than you'd get from simply solo questing--make sure to pick up the dungeon quests as soon as you zone in. They grant good rare-quality rewards and lots of experience as well--but tend to die out once you hit Outlands. Another option is to have a high-level friend run your low-level toon quickly through an instance to save time and easily get specific gear.

In patch 4.0.3, new treasure chests were introduced throughout all zones that do not require Arrombamento to open. These chests mostly contain rare BoEs and some coin, as well as granting experience. These are different from normal locked chests and those found in instances, which continue to grant no experience.

Exploring sub-zones will grant small amounts of experience. It's a nice perk but it won't get you to 85.

In patch 3.2, battlegrounds were changed to grant experience. You will not get experience from killing other players, but rather from winning battles and collecting resources, depending on the game. For example, in WSG, you'll gain experience for wins and flag caps, while in Arathi Basin, you'll gain experience for collecting certain amounts of resources over time. Experience is increased on Call to Honor weekends. You can queue for Ravina Brado Guerreiro at level 10, Bacia Arathi at level 10, Olho da Tormenta at level 35, Vale Alterac at level 45, Baía dos Ancestrais at level 65, and Ilha da Conquista at level 75. Use the PvP tab on the minibar to queue up (hotkey is H), or speak to a Battlemaster in a capital city. In addition, completing quests in Invérnia will grant experience.

Character Advancement

Transportation: Your character keeps learning more efficient ways to travel through leveling. (Note: the following costs do not take reputation discounts into account.)
At level 20, characters train Aprendiz de Montaria for , allowing them to ride non-flying mounts at 60% speed.

At level 40, characters train Profissional de Montaria for , allowing them to ride non-flying mounts at 100% speed.

At level 60, characters train Perito de Montaria for , allowing them to ride non-epic flying mounts at 150% speed.

At level 70, characters train Artífice de Montaria for , allowing them to ride epic flying mounts at 280% speed.

At level 80, characters train Mestre de Montaria for , allowing them to ride epic flying mounts at 310% speed.

Players will need to train Voo em Clima Frio, for , if they wish to fly in Northrend. It is available at level 68.

Players will need to train Licença de Mestre de Voo, for , if they wish to fly in Azeroth. It is available at level 60.

As your Montaria skill increases, the base speed of all your learned mounts increases as well. So, the 60% speed mount you learned at level 20 will become a 100% speed mount at level 40.

Talents: Talents allow players to learn new abilities and strengthen their existing ones. Players will gain a talent point starting at level 10, and then every odd level until level 81. From 81-85, players will gain a point every level. Talent points can be spent in talent trees--you must fill out a tree with 31 points before spending points in a different tree. When viewing the talent trees, players will see descriptions of the unique qualities of each tree, as well as special abilities. Choosing a talent tree grants a character a signature ability, like Mutilar for Assassination rogues, as well as two passive bonuses (Venenos Aprimorados and ) along with a preview of that specialization's Mastery at level 80. You can always untrain and reset your talent points from class trainers, but it will become more expensive each time.

Glyphs: Glyphs are scrolls made by inscriptionists that permanently enhance an ability. Prime glyphs modify major abilities, increasing the damage or healing done. Major glyphs modify secondary abilities, sometimes with a trade-off. Minor glyphs are mostly cosmetic or convenient. As players level, they can use more glyphs: players can use one of each at level 25, two of each at level 50, and three of each at level 75. A glyph is learned forever once a player clicks on the scroll--they are 'activated' by dropping them into the circles in the glyph interface. If you want to swap out a glyph, you will need a Pó de Desaparecimento above level 80, and Pó de Sumiço 80 or below.

Dual Talent Specialization: This becomes available at level 30 from your class trainer for the low price of . This allows you to toggle between two saved talent trees and glyph configurations without having to pay to respec. It's great if you are class that has multiple roles.

Armor Specialization: At level 50, players using correct armor in all slots will receive a 5% bonus to their primary stat: , , , for example. Cloth wearers have no other options besides cloth, so at level 50, they automatically get a 5% intellect boost: Etermancia, Feitiçaria, Misticismo. In previous expansions, gear for all armor types was not as well-itemized as it was in Cataclysm, and much grief was had when casters and healers of all types wanted cloth gear. Armor specialization is designed to discourage players rolling on multiple types of armor, although before level 50, there may be more of a temptation to.

Mastery: At level 80, players can learn Mastery from class trainers. Mastery is based on your class and talent specialization--for example, Maestria: Suplícios Potentes for Affliction warlocks vs Maestria: Energias Caóticas for Destruction. Mastery isn't really important when leveling that brief amount, but it will be a key stat for some classes when raiding at 85.

Experience Bonuses

Bênção de Auchindoun is granted to the faction who controls all five towers in The Bone Wastes, available every five hours. It counts towards killing mobs, but not quests.

Entusiasta da CervaFest is granted twice a day by Mekkatorque and Vol'jin, roughly at 6:15am/6:15pm server time. After the faction leaders open a keg, they give a short speech which grants everyone within 100 yards this buff. Works on mob kills, not quests; also stacks with heirloom gear.

Essência de Invérnia works in all Northrend zones and instances, granting 5% increased experience on mob kills. It stacks with heirloom gear as well. It also allows you to kill various elemental mobs in Wintergrasp, such as Elemental Vingativo de Fogo, that have a 100% drop rate on crystallized elements.

Via Expressa are guild rewards for levels 2 and 6. This buff stacks with heirlooms and lasts until 85.

Feição Sombria/Aliviado are buffs related to the Wickerman Festival outside of the Undercity, for Noturnália. Old quests like Crashing the Wickerman Festival are now obsolete, so we'll see what Blizzard has in store for the upcoming holiday.

There are three types of guild battle standards, that grant increased experience, reputation, and honor for guild members within 45 yards for 2 minutes. Estandarte da Colaboração requires Friendly and is unlocked by completing Trabalho em Equipe. Estandarte da Unidade requires Friendly and is unlocked by completing Heróis Unidos das Masmorras do Cataclismo. Estandarte de Batalha da Coordenação requires Friendly and is unlocked by completing Só trabalho sem diversão.... The experience increase only works on kills and will not stack with nearby battle standards.

Boas Graças da Fortaleza da Honra/Boas Graças de Thrallmar are zone-wide buffs in Hellfire Peninsula. They are granted through purchasing Favor à Fortaleza da Honra/Favor a Thrallmar with Marca da Fortaleza da Honra/Marca de Thrallmar, awarded for winning As fortificações da cidadela/As fortificações da cidadela and the repeatable version.

Instinto Juju increases experience gained by 5% for 10 minutes in Winterspring. This buff is a component of E'koisa de maluco and has a chance to be given upon attacking Owlbeasts.

Aprendendo por Exemplos increases quest experience gained by 10%. It's a possible buff upon using Diário do Aventureiro, an item made from Escrivania.

If you dance around the maypole long enough during the Festival do Fogo do Solstício, eventually Dança da Fita will stack to a one hour duration, Reverência pela Chama. This works with rested, RaF, Fast Track, BoAs, gathering, and archaeology.

Heirlooms are BoA (Bind on Account) items that can be mailed to any of your toons on the same server. As you level, the stats on these items increase, so you do not have to worry about constantly upgrading some gear. The experience bonuses on items all stack as well.

Head: Máscara Esfarrapada de Brumedo, Penas de Guerra Tribais Enfeitadas, Capuz da Arte Sombria Manchado, Coifa Mística dos Elementos, Elmo Desgastado do Berserker Enraivecido, Elmo Lustrado do Poder, and Elmo Polido do Valor are purchased from a Guild Vendor at Honored after completing Nível de guilda 20. They cost and increase experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests by 5% from 1-85.

Shoulder: There are two shoulder options available: PvP and PvE. PvE shoulders cost 2175 Pontos de Justiça from heirloom vendors and 60 Selo do Campeão from Dama Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament: Dragonas Esfarrapadas de Brumedo, Omoplatas Enfeitadas de Penaférrea, Espaldares da Arte Sombria Manchados, Ombreiras Campeãs de Herodes, Brafoneiras Místicas dos Elementos, Brafoneiras Lustradas do Poder, and Espaldares Polidos do Valor. Shoulders with resilience cost 2175 from Wintergrasp Quartermasters and Honor Heirloom vendors: Dragonas Extraordinárias do Fendevidente, Omoplatas Excepcionais do Véu da Tempestade, Espaldares Duradouros do Coração Feral, Brafoneiras Envelhecidas dos Cinco Trovões, Dragonas Estimadas do Senhor de Feras, Espaldares Impolutos da Forja da Luz, Brafoneiras Reforçadas do Cárcere. Both types of shoulders increase experience gained by 10% from 1-80.

Back: Manto da Tempestade de Areia Rasgado, Manto Antigo de Sangreluna, Capa Herdada do Barão Negro, and Capa Usada de Gárgula Litopele are purchased from a Guild Vendor at Honored after completing Nível de guilda 10. They cost and increase experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests by 5% from 1-85.

Chest: Heirloom chests cost 2175 Pontos de Justiça from heirloom vendors and 60 Selo do Campeão from Dama Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament: Veste Esfarrapada de Brumedo, Peitoral Enfeitado de Penaférrea, Túnica Manchada da Arte Sombria, Peitoral Causamortis do Campeão, Colete Místico dos Elementos, Peitoral Lustrado do Poder, Peitoral Polido do Valor. These items increase experience gained by 10% from 1-80.

Ring: Anel Medonho do Pirata is a reward for winning Campeonato de Pesca dos Kalu'ak in Northrend, held every Saturday at 2pm server time. It increases experience from killing monsters and completing quests by 5% from 1-80.

Trinket: Mão Veloz da Justiça and Olho Penetrante da Fera cost 2725 Pontos de Justiça from heirloom vendors and 75 Selo do Campeão from Dama Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament. These do not increase experience gained but scale in stats from 1-80 and restore health and mana upon a kill that grants experience. In addition, Insígnia Herdada da Aliança/Insígnia Herdada da Horda are available for 2725 from Wintergrasp Quartermaster and Honor Heirloom vendors.

Weapon: There are many types of BoA weapons available; wands and fast agility daggers still prove elusive however.
Melee: Venerável Encargo Sagrado de Dal'Rend, Aniquilador Forjacrânio Ensanguentado, Furacórdio Balanceado, and Venerável Marreta do Herrera (note: inflated price from the Argent Tournament) cost 2175 Pontos de Justiça from heirloom vendors and 60 Selo do Campeão from Dama Evniki Kapsalis at the Argent Tournament. Cris Escarlate Afiado, Aniquilador Forjacrânio Ensanguentado, and Lâmina Cruel Desgastada em Batalha cost 2175 from Wintergrasp Quartermaster and Honor Heirloom vendors. Campeã de Veraprata Reforjada costs 3500 from Wintergrasp Quartermaster and Honor Heirloom vendors.

Coxotes Polidos do ValorSinete Antigo do Mirmidão

RaF (Recruit-a-Friend) is a program that allows new players to level quickly. It can be set up from the Account Management page and lasts 90 days after creation.

RaF stacks with heirlooms, but not rested experience. RaF grants triple-experience to the original and recruited player, as long as they are within 100 yards, 3 levels of each other, and in a party.

The original player is granted one freebie level for every two levels the recruited player gains. This level can be granted to a new character on the recruited account, up until level 80.

The recruiter gains 30 days of free playtime for each recruit that upgrades to a paid account. The recruiter receives a Foguete de Passeio X-53 (formerly Zevra Veloz) for every recruit that buys 60 days of playtime.

Rested experience allows players with limited playtime to stay caught up on leveling.

Rested experience is gained in capital cities and inns---a zzz will appear by your character's portrait and your xp bar will turn blue. Always make sure to hearth back to an inn before logging out.

You can earn up to 150% of your current level in rested experience, or 30 bubbles. One bubble is gained for every 8 hours resting.

Rested gives you double experience when killing monsters, mining, gathering, collecting archaeology fragments, and opening chests. As you gain experience, this uses up your rested experience. Not affected by rested experience are: Recruit a Friend, exploration, and questing.

Gear Enhancement

Rings and necks, especially at low levels, are always difficult to find because there aren't BoA options. However, jewelcrafters can create a decent series of rings and necks--at higher levels, these have sockets as well.

As there are no BoA legs yet, options from Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Blacksmithing may be appealing.

If you're bored halfway through leveling, consider getting a friend to make some BoEs from instance patterns, like Cinto do Impacto.

All this said, leveling is easy in Cataclysm--if you're using some outdated gear, it probably won't be noticeable.

Helm: Wrath-level Arcanums, covered in the BoA items tab, can be placed on heirloom helms, although they won't be activated until level 80.

Shoulder: Heirloom shoulders can be enchanted with BoA items from the Sons of Hodir, although they won't be activated until level 80, or Aldor/Scryer shoulder enchants that will be activated at level 70. It was possible to enchant these shoulders with Zandalar enchants that would activate at level 55, but these are no longer obtainable.

Back: If you're running a lot of instances as a dps, Fórmula: Encantamento de Sutileza - Manto is a safe bet. There's also Fórmula: Encantamento Superior de Defesa - Manto, Fórmula: Encantamento de Furtividade - Manto, and Fórmula: Encantamento de Esquiva - Manto.

Chest: Maior de Atributos is a solid option for all heirlooms at low levels. It's quite rare though, so you'll most likely find players with Atributos instead. Fórmula: Encantamento Elevado de Vida - Torso and Fórmula: Encantamento Elevado de Mana - Torso also work.

Wrists: Fórmula: Encantamento de Poder de Cura - Braçadeiras is a good enchant for casters. Fórmula: Encantamento Superior de Força - Braçadeiras and Fórmula: Encantamento Superior de Vigor - Braçadeiras work for melee.

Hands: Enchanting recipes that drop in Ahn'Qiraj are your best bet starting at low-levels: Fórmula: Encantamento de Poder Ígneo - Luvas, Fórmula: Encantamento de Poder Gélido - Luvas, Fórmula: Encantamento de Poder de Cura - Luvas, Fórmula: Encantamento de Poder Sombrio - Luvas, Fórmula: Encantamento Superior de Agilidade - Luvas. Healing power is the best out of the bunch since it covers all types of magic.

Waist: Eterna Fivela de Cinto, a Wrath blacksmithing item, can be used on some level 70 gear--making items like Cinto da Longa Estrada overpowered with three sockets.

Legs: Due to rounds of nerfs, it's not possible to use high-level leg kits on low-level leg armor. But, you can use cheap leg kits like Magilinha Rutilante at higher levels and there are some lower-level armor reinforcement kits, if you're a completionist.

Feet: Menor de Velocidade is something you should put on any pair of boots you find along the way. Unless you have boots with built-in runspeed like Botas de Tecido do Highlander; then you should aim for Esporas de Mithril.

Weapon: Poder de Cura and Poder Mágico, from bosses in Molten Core, and Potente de Intelecto, a reputation pattern with Irmandade do Tório, are the best enchants for caster BoA weapons. For rogues and shaman, try Agilidade and Cruzado; Agilidade for hunters and feral druids. Roubo de Vida is decent as well. Some hunters like Contrapeso de Ferro on a two-hander to help with Focus regeneration.

Ranged: Mira de Kório can be attached to the BoA bow and gun, but requires level 55 to be activated.

Archaeology: Don't hold your breath hoping to discover these BoA low-level items, but if you do, it might be nice for your alt. Or, they might be problematic if you already have an heirloom for that slot. Machado Farpado de Niffelvar is a Vrykul rare requiring level 71, Vestido da Rainha Azshara is a Night Elf rare requiring level 51, and Capuz Cerimonial do Primeiro Xamã is an Orc rare requiring level 61.

Most Wrath and Cataclysm arcanums are BoA, meaning one character with the required rep can buy this item and mail it to an alt. Sadly, Cataclysm shoulder enchants are not included.
From Wrath, requiring Revered on one toon with respective factions: Arcano de Recomposição Beatífica, Arcano de Mistérios Flamejantes, Arcano do Gladiador Selvagem, Arcano do Impávido Protetor, Arcano do Tormento. Shoulder enchants from the Sons of Hodir require Exalted: Inscrição Maior do Machado, Inscrição Maior do Rochedo, Inscrição Maior do Pináculo, Inscrição Maior da Tempestade.

From Cataclysm, requiring Revered on one toon with respective factions (activated at 85 but if you're using BoA gear for actual instancing gear, it's useful): Arcano de Hyjal, Arcano dos Presa do Dragão, Arcano da Harmonia Telúrica, Arcano de Ramkahen, Arcano do Martelo Feroz.

Mounts:Corcel CelestialGuardião Alado

Tagging along on legacy clears is a great way to get some epic gear quickly. (Of course, if your max-level friends are after something specific, it's polite to pass.)

While gear from Núcleo Derretido probably won't help your toon out much with the strange itemization, you'll do pretty well in Templo Negro, Platô da Nascente do Sol, and Cidadela da Coroa de Gelo hardmodes because the gear was best-in-slot for the respective expansions. Some players were using Sunwell gear for the early part of tier 7.

Gear with sockets is highly sought-after because players can use higher-quality gems than intended in leveling gear: for example, epic Northrend gems in blue Outlands gear. There are still some restrictions though: Cataclysm gems require ilvl 285 gear.

Here are lists of quest rewards with sockets for BC, Wrath, and Cata. Dungeons also have numerous drops with sockets.

While the BoA heirloom helms have made the following somewhat obsolete--engineering helms allow players to get epic helms with meta sockets at lower levels (62 for an helm equivalent to level 70 epics, Óculos Golpe Mortal X11 for example). If you don't have a BoA one, try to get a helm with a meta socket.
