  • Viewers have been asking me this question for years, so I figured it was about time for me to finally compare the two directly and provide a definitive answer. Initially I expected this video to be a fairly clear-cut explanation on why dungeon leveling isn't efficient, but my findings contradicted this assumption, so I was forced to revise my route and get a new World Record.
    If you want to watch my recent 10-70 World Record run, you can find it here: • Dragonflight 10-70 Spe...
    If you're looking to level up your characters as quickly as possible, you can find my written Leveling Guide over at my website, harldan.com.
    I also have a video version of the 10-60 guide, which you can watch here: • How To Level From 10-6...
    If you're only interested in the 60-70 part of the run, I also uploaded my Guardian Druid questing-only run which has a time of 3 hours and 21 minutes. You can watch it here: • Solo Leveling From 60-...

    My leveling guide has been updated to account for the routing changes discussed in this video. However, instead of being posted to the Google Doc, I've decently to move the guide to my brand new website, harldan.com. I've put a lot of work into improving the guide and making it fit the website format, so I hope you find it helpful!

  • @edwardsolomon1951
    @edwardsolomon1951 6 месяцев назад

    I think the more compelling arguments for dungeons are: (assuming you're queuing as a healer or tank).
    1. you don't have to research/learn optimal quest chains and routes.
    2. You will learn how use and properly weave/rotate all of your abilities in a group setting.
    3. Battleground leveling is hella slow, but for the same reason as point two, I queue a few bgs each time I gain a new major ability since it prepares me for my preferred end-game content (rated bgs) on my new character, instead of trying to properly rotate and weave all of my abilities in a Rated BG for the first time at max level. I can't tell you how many times I see a 2200+CR player switch to an alt in "alt group" and totally suck.
    To make a long story short, dungeon and BG leveling prepares you mentally for end game content, while questing does not.
    Never is this more pronounced than in hardcore classic, where the flighty and timid tactics of the questing playerbase (everyone is forced to quest since leveling dungeons have lockouts) fail in the face of danger in a dungeon. They don't learn how to use things like "distracting shot" to peel a mob of a healer in dungeon because they never casted distracting shot once in their entire leveling career. Because of this the healer dies in some dogshit low level dungeon, quickly followed by them and the rest of the party.

    • @Harldan1
      @Harldan1  6 месяцев назад

      While I understand your point, I think it's wrong for a number of reasons. For starters, I won't really dive into your Classic example, since this video is entirely about retail leveling. In Classic, dungeon leveling just tends to be faster no matter how you slice it, but that was never what this video was about.
      For your point about "learning how to properly use abilities", this is just completely wrong in the context of how retail WoW currently works. Currently most dungeons are a complete steamroll in retail, so you never REALLY learn anything meaningful about how to optimize your damage. Most lessons you learn may actually be detrimental to your endgame performance, since the jankiness of low level scaling can cause you to build bad rotational habits.
      I would personally argue that questing (if you're solo) requires you to understand and utilize more of your kit if you want to level quickly. This is of course subjective though, and an equally valid counterpoint would be that many people don't WANT to be forced to learn their entire kit while leveling, though this would of course be directly in opposition to the "dungeons help you learn" arguement.
      Your other point about having to "research/learn optimal quest chains" has SOME truth to it, but not really in the context of this video. If someone was completely uninformed about leveling efficiency and they just wanted to have a relaxed leveling experience with no concern about how fast they were being, I could completely understand wanting to que for dungeons. It's certainly much easier to press a button and que for a dungeon than it is to look up a leveling guide.
      However, this arguement kinda falls apart in the context of this video, because if you're watching it you've already bypassed that barrier and are actively looking to make your leveling more efficient. That's the target audience of this video, after all. If someone is JUST leveling casually and has no plans of optimizing, sure, dungeons may be more their speed, but the type of person who would click on a video comparing the speed of various activities really has no reason to not look up a guide on efficient questing. (I mean hey, I have a ton of them right here on my channel.)
      Lastly, while it isn't in the scope of this video, I highly disagree with your point about Classic HC as someone who has played it quite a lot. If you're grabbing random people for a Deadmines pug then I GUESS you may encounter clueless people, but to suggest that Classic HC leveling doesn't require you to learn every tiny part of your kit is ludicrous. I can't count the amount of times I survived a dangerous situation because I was able to use one of my utility spells as a Druid, and that experience absolutely carries over into dungeons. I did a handful of HC Dungeons in the 30-50 range, and they were some of the cleanest and well-coordinated runs I've ever seen, since everyone had a vested interest in making sure nothing went wrong. You could try to use that as evidence that dungeons are a better teacher, but personally I'd argue those skills need to be built first by doing quests.
      Long response so if you don't want to read I get it, I was just bored.

    Questing is def faster. Whatever you like the most is usually the best option unless you have some time constraint in which case most people with huge time constraints don't really play a lot of World of Warcraft I assume
    I like to tank from 15 to 60, works faster for me. I always do vanilla to wrath dungeons since they're memorized. Questing becomes very fast when flying is unlocked. (60 and under)
    Yeah you nailed it to 10 to 20 is pretty slow just getting to chromie on a 60 percent speed to change it it's just slow I find once I can fly everything is way easier and 30 to 60 in gorgrond is easy.

    Thats all. If you screw around a little bit and take breaks it might take 8 hours but just going straight through when once it down it can be anywhere from three and a half to six hours which really is not that much especially compared to classic burning Crusade and even Wrath

    I usually choose Legion timeline (I choose Azsuna) or Draenor (I complete Dark Portal scenario, unlock the garrison and complete quests npc's give in Garrison)
    It usually takes me 12-13 hours to do 60 levels (15 hours if I'm lazy), also queued in dungeons.
    And if you don't want to play the Legion timeline I always recommend at least doing the first quest, because hearthstone for Dalaran can be useful.

      Sure, but that's inherently random and not something you can really calculate. When testing the different dungeons I got a lot of level 70 people in my groups, so that did end up pushing the time down. Even still, I don't think flawless RNG with getting level 70 carries is enough to account for an hour+ time difference.

      It depends. Dungeon Leveling was fantastic back in MoP, and it was one of the best leveling methods in WoD assuming you weren't using a 3 man boosting group with the 300% XP potion (which most people were at the time due to how easily accessible it was). Leveling got absolutely gutted in Legion and early BfA, but it could be argued dungeons were a "viable" method at that time simply because everything else sucked so much. I didn't actively speedlevel back then (and when I did for fun I always did solo questing), but I'd imagine an optimal route would involve some questing and dungeons to bridge the gap.
