Gold amounts have been drastically reduced, and experience rates reduced as well. This is still a great way to level up, but other methods can compete now as being the fastest.
I would be okay with gold being reduced and exp the same as now. For as fast as they can give you levels, Looting bodies and rolling on boe items will still be a good filler.
@@Tropicocitwo less than an incursion quest. If you go in a circle and just grab the looting quests you’ll just grind out them over and over at around 7.7k each. Ashenvale that is, I did it to 45 and now to go out to the real world for a bit
@@AJannace11 I don't know phase 2 felt even short to me. We have a week or two of gathering bis that aren't from raid doing STV, incursions, pvp... then sure we can make an alt which between leveling and gearing by the time we are done with the phase is over.
If you have a friend with a gathering, like in a Duo group, you can give them the "Turn in 10 items" 4 times in a row as long as 1) you don't turn it in until they're done all of the turnins and 2) they have enough mats :) Which is like an entire dungeons worth of xp in 30 seconds.

@@bjrnchrstnSoD is an entire new take con content so what the goal is isn't clear now. I personally liked not having to level yet again the normal method.
@unixtreme new take? There has been 20+ iterations of leveling over the past 10 expansions. This plays exactly like every other single leveling "event" on retail.
Yup..these same people will complain in a week or 2 that there is not much content...after doing everything in less than 10hours...it is ridiculous....And if, like many many of us, just want to take things easy, you can't...you are pressured to level fast, otherwise, you won't be able to raid or do the harder content....it's really stupid...
remember SoD is a middle ground between classic that makes you group together and interact as an MMO experience and retail that has a fast levelling experience to exist for end game where you can auto q for all content with others but not really interact. This mode definitely promotes interataction and promotes easy levelling which is a middle ground
I don’t get it. Why the hell are any of you playing this game. This is nothing but retail disguised as classic. Everyone wants to rush to top level and then what? Classic was about the journey.
For some reason the retrieval quests weren’t working for my group but as previously mentioned it’s best to focus on just getting the escorts, intel, and maybe tag the bosses if you happen to get those. The kill quests aren’t worth your time unless your group ends up needing to complete them to reset the rolls
Quests dropped from 5g down to 1.3g but still easy money. We found it best to skip the kill quests and just do intel/retrieve/escort. Here’s hooing they don’t fix escort
It never meant anything. This is a seasonal server, not classic era. We have limited time per phase with a lot of things to do, there's literally NOTHING stopping you from questing in the open world or dungeon grinding if that's what's fun to you.
I did this at around 1am EST, went about a level and half then a level from gnomer roughly. I myself play casually so even if 2-3 levels a night should be good. 50% exp buff is nice too!
Leveling is only dead if you're a part of the "problem". Just level like normal if that's what you want to do, you place the need to level using the most optimal method on yourself and then complain about the leveling avenue YOU CHOSE.

We almost didn't kill a single mob from 44-50, we just skipped all the kill quests cause they took too long because of so many people, and got to 50 just 6 hours after launch.
Was deciding if I load back up - thought maybe after work Id check it out - find out a heap of players made an easy 500g and thats now been nerfed, logged back off
This is why I hate blizzard. They lent thousands of people that could grind the first day get rich and then they Nerf the gold from quest so everybody else is way way way behind.
Exploit early, exploit often boiz! Unfortunately we were there very early but the layering system is so fucked we couldn't level in the Ashenvale one cause we were constantly getting layered away from eachother while doing the fkin quests..
It is. I did it for hours today and its just repeating the same quests over and over. Was a great way to make 100s of gold quickly and i levelled to 45. But no way im going back in there again. Maybe if I have to for rep to get the pre bis gear, but that place is awful.
SoD has turned into nothing but Project Ascension where Blizzard got the idea for Runes. Go play it, you can hit max level in a few hours doing normal shit, as a human I leave the starting area usually at 15.
Yea and Horde on EU servers who kills any ally players on quest givers at 50 lvls. From 7 april game unplayable for ally. This phase only gives oppurtunity to farm honor in Horde like glitch. And true hate Horde to all my life :P
There’s a reason they call these zones nightmares. They fucking suck, you can’t move 3 feet without engaging in a fight with a mob unrelated to any quests, and questie doesn’t help at all except to put a bunch of useless shit on your map
I'm sorry but the incursions are the most boring braindead dogshit thing i have ever done in classic wow. The devs should be ashamed for putting something this low quality out and we shouldn't tolerate such garbage. It may be fast xp....but it's terrible "new content" if you can even call it that.
Yeah, screw it, why do quests? boy did I make a mistake and bother to go play the game? I should have just done this and got rich and 50 in a few hours. Great job blizzard.

What do you do when you use the 'star' to try and deputize/ share quest and it says invalid target on your group mates
it means that person already has that quest, just ignore it and move on to next deputize item or next person
is that daily weekly or monthly ?
You don't need to do the escorts, just have the quest and stand at the base of the turn in and you get it when another group brings them.
