Leveling to 60 on a Fresh WoW Account
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- While I already have a leveling guide which showcases the fastest 1-70 route in Dragonflight, parts of it require Chromie Time, which is unavailable for new players. Because of this, many viewers have asked me to create a Fresh WoW Account and figure out the fastest way to level when you don't have access to Chromie Time. Although there is considerable overlap with my standard route, this fresh account path will include a few new zones and slightly alter the order in which you level through each area.
I plan on using this fresh account to do further leveling testing in the future, so if there's something you'd like to see me try, let me know! I currently only plan on doing one more full run for Alliance, but I'm open to doing additional testing/videos if there's enough interest.
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.
In case you missed the run where I leveled a paladin up to 40 on this account and won the STV Fishing Tourney, you can find it here: • Winning the Fishing Ex...

Update (7/26/23): As of Patch 10.1.5, all players have access to Chromie Time, even if you're leveling your very first character. This means the route I used in this video is no longer relevant. If you have not done so already, I'd recommend watching my 1-60 Leveling Guide, which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/uLXS2nupv2s/видео.html
(Old Pinned Comment) If you plan on using the route in this video for leveling, keep in mind that "Fresh WoW Account" in this case is referring ONLY to the first character you will ever level. The moment one of your characters reaches level 60 you will unlock Chromie Time, and you'll then be able to use my standard route. Even if you're missing heirlooms/consumables/buffs etc, you should still follow my standard route. None of that significantly alters the final time or routing, lack of Chromie Time is the only reason I'm working on this route.
Alt characters can use Chromie after your first character has reached levelled 50+.
@@Frostshore It's now level 60.
Quick note to new players, if you create a class trial and log in, it will enable Chromie time for your account....Useful if you want to use an older zone for your first character.
This is what i was looking for ! , im new player so, this helps, can you add time stamps for lv/zone plz?
@@MrNightfate No, because within 2 weeks this route will no longer be relevant.
I subscribed to this RUclipsr because of his rambles. The majority of the rambles I have no idea what there about but some of the stuff that he says does make sense that I do catch onto. Plus I just like watching his content because it's relaxing to watch instead of paying a monthly price to play it yourself. Keep up the good work bud!
Ah mate, I do love watching your videos - levelling on a fresh WoW account is a scary prospect for so many I'd imagine so fair play to you, and from a personal point of view I do like hearing you talk through the videos. Even if it's just random rambling I think it adds something to them! So yeah, fair play to you and keep up with the videos
Overall it wasn't too bad, just a tad slower than my usual runs and I had to use BfA for a bit (which was honestly a nice change of pace). Missing heirlooms/consumes isn't as much of a detriment as most people seem to think it is.
Alliance run would be neat, story time with wow background is usually a win for me. Thanks for continuing to post.
Can we just appreciate the effort this man puts in just to help us with leveling god bless you man.
wrr
i love long videos like this. thank you for your efforts
So I started retail about a month ago (FFXIV vet), and did the exact same thing as you with the escort quest in Orgrimmar lol
I *also* got incredibly annoyed that I had to walk side-by-side with them, that intro questline is just... not good.
Hopefully the 10.1.5 changes will be good for the new player experience!
Rogue main here. Totally agree with the opinion about leveling speed for Rogues. They're designed for single-target and they're squishy.
This calm my soul, i needed this, so epic that u do with a rogue!!! Thats very interesting, one of the most horrible classes to level up (in my opinion), great video :D
Finally what i need, thanks
The whole daze segment at 1:23:00 I've been playing this game since tbc and i've only just now learned that the dazing only happens if you get hit in the back, I knew the tank thing, but didn't know about if you had your back to them as anything else
Thanks for Your video. While I can't afford to pay the subscription fee and buy the latest expansion, at least I can reach level 60 with You by watching Your gameplay :)
Love the content my man, I just can't comprehend how long your fingers need to be to be using H as a hotkey XD
Never really bothered me tbh
1:46:00 i was crying when you checked this omg
Id like to see the unedited.
I have two 70 affliction Warlocks, got two more waiting to be leveled during the Diablo 4 exp event!
Why do you want to have so many warlocks?
Its good to hear your thougts on stuff. i am new to your channel, but i gotta say i like your voice and accent please do tell and speak, silence is not good! I lile to hear your opinon, thoughts and basically everything. I am happy as long as i dont need to hear music for spotify, thats the problem with 90%of streams And shit.
1:25 - could you be talking about Gorduz Backstabber????
Not really relevant to the leveling - but just heard your BrM speal at @1:33:00 and completely agree lol
I have the same memory leak thing, its driving me nuts
Wtf that epic drop is insane lol
Oh god need the addon when you’re at the AH and automatically see the transmog! If I may ask you which one it is?
I believe that's Mogit? Not 100% sure.
@@Harldan1 I’ll check it out ! Thank you and good job for this fresh lvled toon!
Good job jeep AT it
Ok, lemme warn you about your insanely ambitious add-on. I have a degree in game development, so I do this out of love. Tough, dream crushing love
All fair points, so I want to address a few of them.
- For starters, I also graduated college in game design and computer science, so trust me, I'm well aware that the current scope of my project is ambitious and will likely need to be trimmed. These are my current plans, but as I begin development I'm sure I'll run into things that need to be trimmed.
- I'm well aware that some of this stuff will be difficult/impossible to do with an addon. I actually do have friends who have developed add-ons and I've asked them about this. A few of my early ideas they said would be impossible, so I scrapped it. A lot of the current ideas they said should be possible and there are multiple add-ons currently using them. (I.e. mob tracking is apparently very simple and is used by a ton of add-ons, so that shouldn't be a concern)
- That leads to another point, namely the "guild" thing, which I think you misunderstood a bit. I never meant to say that you NEED to join a guild to complete the challenge, or that you would have other people moderating it for you. This is designed to be done solo, but the initial idea that I discussed would require some oversight on the part of the player. Think of it as playing D&D with yourself, in a sense.
When I referred to a "guild bank", I meant your own personal bank guild that you can use as storage. This is something that I do myself for speedleveling items, as it helps me keep them all organized in one place. The initial idea would be to store all possible drops in this bank, and then when the add-on rewards it, the player gives themself that item from the bank. Could they cheat? Absolutely, but this is meant to be a fun way to challenge yourself personally while leveling, not a competition. If someone ignores the game and grabs whatever they want, they may as well just be leveling a normal character, so who cares?
- That being said, your points about all of the prep work and player oversight required are something I've spent a lot of time thinking about, because I understand it's a bit of an investment just to play a special mode. My current solution is to offer two game modes, one with full access to potential rewards with the understanding that you'll need to put in a bit of leg work ahead of time to prepare all of the items. I could even have a settings page where someone manually unchecks items they can't/don't want to farm, which would make it so those items don't appear as potential rewards. Once again, this opens the door for someone unchecking all of the "bad" items just to improve their drop rates, and once again if they want to do that just to make themselves feel better about winning an addon mini game, oh well.
The other game mode in this solution would be a streamlined version that contains minimal use of items outside of things like heirlooms, which you can create just by opening your collection. This would take out the need to interact with a mobile guild bank/mailbox to obtain new items, which would go a long way towards making the mode approachable. A mode like this would obviously need to have modified drop rates and item effects to account for the smaller pool, but it may end up being a better option.
- Finally, the only point I really don't agree with is your take regarding travel and zones. As my speedruns have shown, travel around the world is NOT that hard, and in the absolute worst case it will take you 5-10 minutes of portal hopping and running. If someone is so impatient about reaching a certain zone that they're unwilling to spend 5 minutes jumping on a flight path, this mode isn't designed for them. I've done efficient speedruns for years now, and it gets boring. That's the entire reason why I'm working on this in the first place. Is it going to be slower than leveling normally? Absolutely, but I think it will be far more fun and challenging. If I'm offered the Badlands as one of my zones, and it gives good rewards, I'm still going to pick it even though it's one of the most isolated leveling zones in the game (for Horde, atleast). I have no problem throwing myself on a flight path and AFKing to make coffee for a bit.
@@Harldan1 Oh god dammit! RUclips ate my original response comment! Ugh...well, take 2.
You are indeed a game designer. You have this thing very well thought out and are ready for any necessary changes. Excellent job.
My only concern still revolves around tangible item rewards. I love the multiple game modes and accessibility you're offering, but I am concerned that needed prep work of any kind will turn people off. Especially toward people that may not have the means to prep. I, for example, do not have bank alts and maybe have 150k gold between all 13 of my characters. The heirloom rewards are fine, but an XP potion or gear or something like that isn't something I want to bother with. I'm sure it's not a bank breaker, but I'm a cheap prick who wants to save my gold for important stuff. I'm sure plenty of people wont mind, but you gotta think of the people that will. Funnily enough, a guild would be great. People will happily join a guild in WoW anyway, it is a social game after all. So having a guild bank full of goblin gliders and xp pots and whatever would work well. But for a solo person, you might have to rethink rewards.
Alternatively, you can lean this entirely toward challenge mode and the only reward is the satisfaction of completion. Similar to the hardcore challenge in classic. It doesn't sound like you want to do that though. I wish I could help by making an actual suggestion, but I'm drawing a blank. I love the notion of rewards, but find it very difficult to implement. Your alternative game mode that minimizes/eliminates prep may turn into your primary. But time will tell.
As for the flight path thing...yeah, that's a person bias XD I come from SWTOR, which has an amazing fast travel system. WoW's travel systems are awful. I ironically main Mage which is wonderful, but playing any other class shows how outdated their systems are. I'm so used to being able to teleport everywhere that flying for 5 minutes drives me up the wall. But yeah, it's a non-factor for a grand majority of WoW players.
Overall, you have a great, well thought out, idea. When you start play testing (if you haven't already), be sure to get everyone from the hardcore, to the filthy casual, to everyone in between. Unless you plan on narrowing your audience of course. Challenge runners will eat this up no doubt. I wish you good luck and keep on keeping on. Before you know it, WoW-tubers far and wide will be making videos saying, "So there's this new add-on that makes retail leveling fun again..."
@@revengedealer Appreciate the feedback once again. I do agree that the way rewards are handed out by the game needs some adjustment, it's the main thing I'm still brainstorming. The mode I mentioned would have a heavy emphasis on "low budget", since as you mentioned some people won't want to do prep work or invest gold. The idea would be to have one "full" mode with an expanded reward pool, and one "minimalist" mode that only has basic stuff such as heirlooms or goblin gliders. I could also have a setting to ONLY play with randomized talents/zones for people who aren't interested in the mini-game aspect whatsoever.
That said, to go a bit into your other point, this is 100% directed towards the "satisfaction of overcoming a challenge" type thing. In this video I discussed 90% of my plans for the addon, but I have NOT discussed what I have planned for the very end at levels 55-60. That part of the challenge will be brutally hard. The reason I have the rewards implemented this way is because they're borderline mandatory for the final 5 levels of this challenge run to be possible. The whole idea of the run will be to plan out your route and gain as much power as you possibly can to prepare yourself for the "final boss" at level 60.
As such, the trimmed down version of the addon with only heirlooms likely wouldn't include this final boss at all, simply because I don't believe it would be (reasonably) possible. Once the full vision for the run is clear, and people fully understand why I have the rewards structured this way, I have a feeling they'll be willing to put in the work to get the preparation done. And if not, there will still be the basic version (or they could just level without the add-on).
@@Harldan1 Ahhh, ok. I like it. I do love the multiple modes making it a very accessible run. I especially love the fully randomized talent mode. That would certainly be appealing to many people. Challenge runner especially would love to figure out how to use the lesser talents to their fullest. I wonder if you could add a difficulty level to that. Fully randomized talents hard mode = doing crazy bosses with possibly sub optimal talents. It'd be like Dark Souls for people. That would certainly require playtesting like no tomorrow.
The route planning is also great and having those final 5 levels be insanely hard seems like a mixture of the hardcore challenge and general classic leveling. A so close yet so far situation, making victory all the more sweeter. Something like this feels like it could actually draw classic hardcore players to it. Maybe you should just add a hardcore mode. People seem to love the threat of perma-death.
But yeah, keep at it. This can seriously be a fantastic addition to World of Warcraft.
@@revengedealer Oh, I guess I forgot to mention it in the video, but permadeath would also be a fundamental part of the challenge.
Re: you talking... I am grateful your voice isn't obnoxious. So many content creators have voices that I can barely stand and it sucks to want their knowledge but barely be able to stomach their ridiculous affects or inflections.
5:20:30 I think DK deserves a spot up high. Can tank dungeons and has good sustain in dps specs too with free deathstrike procs.
Dungeons don't really matter for that ranking. Don't get me wrong though, DKs aren't bad, but they're less flexible than other classes while leveling.
@@Harldan1 Alright, I see. I personally find the ability to bruteforce yourself through almost any sort of mob or pack of mobs is highly beneficial, but maybe I should check a more detailed list on what's good and what's not.
@@disadadi8958 That's not really unique to DKs though. Sure, they're very tanky and do solid damage, but the same can be said for Paladin, Druid, Monk, Warrior, and Demon Hunter.
Hi, a question. Why isn't Monk Hunter easier and more effective for stuff like this? Because I don't have all those bottles or anything. For extra XP
Not sure what you mean, the extra XP has nothing to do with it. Some classes have better AoE damage and survivability, that's what makes them better for leveling.
as a rogue main, I would never lvl as outlaw
What do you think is the class you level up faster?
You’re perfect :)
Cool.
pretty lucky :)
you need to do one from the perspective of a new player if that makes sense
No, it doesn't. Can you elaborate?
@@Harldan1 Well a new player would barely know how to operate the ui nevermind modded ui, I'm talking like a hand holding levelling up guide for a wow day 0 fresh out of the womb baby.
@@ayoaye2276 Ah, that's not something I'm interested in doing. There are plenty of "brand new player" guides out there which spoonfeed basic information. I get that there's a market for it, but quite honestly that's not something I enjoy making myself. I prefer to tackle subjects that require more research and practice, since it's not as oversaturated and I find it more fun to create the content. The only reason I even bothered doing this series in the first place is because I figured it would be a fun challenge to plot out a route without the use of Chromie Time.
I've received a lot of suggestions from players on "Fresh Account Videos", going over basic things that everyone needs to do at some point. That said, a lot of these topics are either really boring to research, would appeal to an extremely niche audience of players, or both. I prefer to make content that appeals to new players but is still relevant and useful to veteran players. Currently the only topics I'm considering making are "How to Unlock Allied Races" and "How to Obtain Every Heirloom", since I'd imagine a large amount of existing or returning players could still benefit from that in addition to brand new players.
winners don't read quest text :)
bro what are you talking about ? You dont even have CE in the current patch, for somebody who gets it that late if at all it literally does not matter if you spend 1 second on ptr or not. stop acting like youre some world first raider wow celebritiy u dont have to do anything jeez
First of all, yikes. I must have really hurt your feelings somehow, huh? Second though, you're actually wrong, I do have CE. Laryse-A52, check if you want. World 324/US 110 if you're one of the losers who cares about that shit. Feel free to share your character to show me how much better you are, though.
How is ffxiv new player experience good? Its the most boring on rails story experience, nothing interesting happens until heavensward imo. Also their attempt to teach new players their class role is awful too, it teaches healers to not contribute to damage and doesnt even give them a proper party interface so youre just targeting the npcs. Dog water
I disagree, FFXIV isn't for everyone but it definitely has a better new player experience.
How the f can you talk for half a day? That is a real talent
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FRESH SPEED RUNS! even if it's your main account as long as there's no mailing or using hella items
Finally a levelling time i can relate to haha Even though i level with your routes i do not use potions, DMF ( because i level when i feel like it) and somehow end up having times like 6 hours instead of your 3.
It would be cool to see your times if you follow your route, but without potions and any other "advantages" that require you to buy things. WM, chromie time yes but nothing else
I've done runs like that in the past, I'm sure you could find a few in the "WoW Speedruns" playlist. The only consumable that somewhat matters is Draught of Ten Lands (and ofc DMF stuff), but it doesn't make a massive difference. Without those two buffs your time will probably be ~1 hour slower at the most.
I've done runs with just Draught of Ten Lands, a handful of goblin gliders/gunshoes, and gold for Master Riding, and my time was only a few hours behind my world record runs. (I also don't really count Master Riding in the leveling cost, since 99% of players are going to buy that anyways when they reach max level.) It's also important to understand that when I'm doing my speedruns I try to be laser focused for the entire run and make sure I'm being extremely efficient with everything I do. That ends up being really stressful so I tend to play a bit slower and more relaxed when I'm doing non-WR runs, and that inherently loses a bit of time.
So, my main takeaway from this leveling video is that Harldan should really make a rogue-like game.
Hey dude, thanks for the run! I'm actually following your dark iron dwarf monk run while prepping for my account reactivation in may (college) and i got to the part where you said you won't be doing as many speedruns, (around the time you talked about chi torpedo with your guild) which, slowing down a hit in that content is totally fine!
Just wanna say I may not always watch your content but whenever i do i remember why I'm subbed to you! I really appreciate that you do both factions as I love to dip into both and have fun maybe not racing as fast as possible, but still being efficient with leving alts
Agree with the new player experience issues. My son just started playing so I had to guide him through it and couldn't believe how crap that tour stuff was!
dude whatever you put out is always a great watch, i'm glad i stumbled upon ur channel, the long vids with some anecdotes and current patch tutorials, whatever it is, keep it up!
yea this is 100% the kind of s-tier long form content I'm after.
Personally, the fun part of wow for me is the "world of" part. I think the fact that you can level up and skip 99% of the world in 8 hours is one reason why people dont want to play this game. Blizzard should let people hang out in the world for a few weeks leveling up instead of forcing the entire player base into the newest zone/capital.
I’m the opposite. 16 years of WoW and I think I know the name of one character “Sylvanus” (sic)?
I’ve skipped every cut scene for most of those sixteen years. The story is the one I make up in my head. I gave up with the in game lore after about a day back in 2007. .Thought it was childish nonsense. Love the gameplay and using my imagination to motivate.
I have a team of mercs doing whatever is required for cash. I internalise their motivations and understand their relationships. I’ve had my own guild for them since 2009. Love using my imagination in a game. Rarely enjoy official game narratives.
Most seem written for nine year olds.
Love WoW. Must have ten thousand hours at least in it. 14 max level chars. Can’t wait for AI dungeon companions in a few weeks in 10.2.5
They just need to make the whole game scale with your level. Meaning, old areas should be max level. Atleast the dungeons and raids. Would give us way more content to play
@michaelbarber3125 I kind of agree. But the scaling shouldn't be so streamlined to your exact level. More lime a level range. Like if you are 10-20, you can find those level creeps and quests in the zone.
The fact that it's completely scaled to your level makes it annoying because you never feel any stronger. Everything levels up along side you.
@PaulRoneClarke I'm not talking about the story. I'm talking about exploring. 99% of people are in one zone or hub. 100% of people are in the same raid. Give me options to go where I want and let me keep the cool stuff I get. That's all I'm asking.
Also, 14 max level characters is pretty easy since it takes about 12 hours to reach max level. Meaning a new player will see the World of Warcraft for 13 hours and see the New Zone of Warcraft for thousands.
@@yaboityler2617 Oh in that case I absolutely agree with you. 90% of WoW is completely redundant. Can't remember the last time I did any MoP or Legion content even though those areas are lovely. Those areas might as well not exist as they hardly add anything to the current game, along with many others.
people just say shit. don't listen to them i love finding out new tricks to level faster with your commentary. keep up the good work
thanks for doing a newbie/clean run. im newish myself and a lot are like use all these things send heirlooms.. im like wth is a heirloom? lol so this run is more like what i start with on my runs for a new alt :)
For the hunter you could give some kind of invitation or special gun that leads to the Hemet Nesingwary hunts and gives you access to all the zones that have one.
Harldan: :"WTF? Why is my bar up there, Blizzard?!"
Blizzard: *Troll Face Meme*
Sneaky stabby!
5:46:05 yeaa the pain when your grapple gets put on cd but just breaks and doesn't take you anywhere is truly soul-crushing.
As a rogue main, I can 100% agree that they are tough to level. They don't really come into their own until level 45+, and are pretty gear reliant. But great to see someone actually levelling one and showing it doesn't have to be super slow!
I b-hop naturally😂
Sweet
A thematic zone for hunter could be any zone with helmet missingway quests
Good idea, I was leaning towards doing that for hunters but I wasn't 100% sure yet. Rogues/Priests are the main ones I'm unsure of at this point, so I might just use them to fill in the gaps and cover the continents that aren't used by other classes.
I mean, if it means we don’t have to hear you say “buddins” every time you’re trying to say BUTTONS, then yeah, it might make a 7 hour video manageable lol 😂😂😂 (I’m kidding, of course; I’m Canadian and constantly have my American friends make fun of how I say about - even though I say it 98.7% the same way they do…I do not say “aboot” or “aboat” but I digress)
I’m actually a fan of your videos, I’m learning new ways to level from you. Though I don’t speed run myself, I find it interesting as hell and I like how you explain your reasoning and processes. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your catalogue 👍🏼👍🏼
i got to about 37 minutes into this video and you said something like "hopefully NOT be here for the next 10 hours" so i got curious and went 6 hours ahead in the video and you had been there for... the next 10 hours and 8 minutes. pain.
About to do this. With looms, gold, and dungeon, probably tank. I used to do RAF (refer) and dual box for that increase but now it is so fast! 50 to 60 was a little slower.
Thanks for vid. Seeing it doable pretty normally in 7 to 8 hours gives me hope
Haven't played WoW for yers, but what happend to standard goblin starting zone?
I love your rambles
I d love to see you stream again hopefully soon? 😅
I'm glad you enjoyed the streams, and while I will do them again eventually, it probably won't be super soon. I have an insane amount of videos that I need to get done by the end of the month, since Patch 10.1 is releasing in early May. Once I've gotten all of that done I may consider streaming again, but it wouldn't be until late May or June at the earliest.
@@Harldan1 no worries. Take your time. Diablo launch event will be the perfect time to Level a new Tool with the 50% XP buff
After 45 minutes of looking at your run, I realized that I've got a level 15 or so Orc Warrior on Classic named, "Gorbuz."
Bro i like to listen more then watch especially ifthere is a lot of usefull info to hear from some1 that expirienced keep up the good job ;)
My favorite part about these is I get to fall asleep at 0-20 and I'll wake up to 58 and get to watch the ding
hey i like mythic content although alot of the aphixes are so annoying i wish they were alil more fun rather than just plain annoying
Bruh i know this video is old but this teach me more than any guide thanks loviu keep this episodes😂
New player. Starting to play WOW for the first time and gotta say, leveling in this game is just a pain. This video is godsend!
I agree as someone who is about to have their first ever lvl 60. Also did it as outlaw and holy shit it's rough lol
@@slimfastsubaru2043I got my first 60 on solo fury warrior and it was easier than I thought lol, I think I’m gonna make a rogue
Level a Boomkin or a Shadow Priest please!
Shadow Priest is what I plan on using for either the next run or the one after it. I may not get around to that for another month because of Patch 10.1 content though. Boomkin unfortunately is at the bottom of my list, since there's no real reason to run it seeing as how good Guardian is for leveling. I'll test it eventually just to get a general idea of how it compares to the other specs, but I'd usually recommend leveling as Guardian for Druids.
@@Harldan1 thanks a lot for the heads up mate.
Noob😉 LoL nice video man I enjoyed it hope you do more
Do fury warrior, human, dawrf ,undead, orc, o hate undead start zone but anyway fun to watch.
Been looking forward to this vid!
Really like this long-form leveling content
This guy reminds me so much of Jatt from League of Legends lol
I wonder if Harldan would ever do a WoW classic 1-60 run? Or a wrath 60-80? Something along the lines of that?
Initially I was planning on doing a casual 60-80 run, since I wanted to get my Blood Death Knight leveled up and I figured I would kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately the aggressive 10.1 release schedule means I'll have to postpone that video until later.
It would be Soo cool for blood DK leveling route, as I have a blood DK on Wrath Classic, and am looking for a fast way to lvl to 80 on her
@@tatertotgamr1 It would not be a speedleveling video, to be clear. I don't know the first thing about classic speedleveling, so anything I do on there would be inherently casual and not meant to be something insanely efficient that people should follow.
Ok np
I kinda like this, keep it up
I havent finished the video yet but please update us on whether or not that chest sells
The initial auction expired, but I reposted it for 350k a few hours ago.
12:45 I agree, this is a big issue for every game out there really. they just slap down a screenshot of a build and say "this is it!" with no indication of when or even why you choose these things.
1:46:06 this is because the chestpeice is a mid drift on female characters :D
I know all you do is level but im genuinely wondering, do you actually like to level or is it something you do for the records? xD
Leveling is far from being "all I do". Most of my time in WoW is actually spent raiding or doing dungeons. These days I primarily level so I can keep my guide up to date, since that's a resource many people are relying on.
I dont like gobblins 🤣
I am looking forward to your challenge run addon!
I watched all of it. The whole thing…
just cut the runs to 2 or 3 short episodes instead of 1 long one.
Nah, that performs terribly on youtube.
Okay now this makes much more. The ones that are doing 3-hour runs, have to be decked out. I have a fresh account and it's already taken me 5 hours just to get to level 25. And I have zero everything, not a thing.
Not necessarily. To be clear, this run was done before fresh accounts had access to Chromie Time, and it was also done on an Outlaw Rogue, which is arguably the worst leveling spec in the game. If I did this run again (which I probably will at some point) with a decent class, I could likely get it done in ~5-6 hours at worst.
@@Harldan1 HI thanks for the reply!!! What I have noticed, taking the exact smae route,, is the quest xp = amazing, mob xp
@@ADHD_Gamer You should not be following the route in this video.
Im late to the party just getting into WoW what’s the addon called specifically for the edit mode
Edit Mode isn't an addon, that's just a feature in the game. If you hit the Esc button you'll find it on the menu.
@@Harldan1 ty for the reply I’m dumb I’m playing classic wotlk lol. Found an addon tho :)
You should really include time stamps.. you do a lot of rambling, that’s majority time off topic. so it gets confusing on what I need to do next as someone who’s following what you’re doing.
This isn't meant to be a guide, it's just a full unedited run. I will eventually make a guide after doing a few more testing runs which will be short and information focused.
@@Harldan1 ok I’ll be on the look at for that. Is your guide from 6 months ago still accurate though?
@@Sapphic288 Yes, that guide is still accurate.
So, I watched this video. All of it... ❤
NICE!
It's a really good video
FYI as a radiographer, unless your toe is disfigured or there's bone poking out, don't bother going to the doctor if you stub your toe even if you think it's broken.. there's nothing they can do for it. If it's bent weird or there's bone poking out, or there's any weird chance you think it's broken so badly that you need surgery then definitely go.. otherwise they'll tell you to take tons of OTCs and have fun healing.
if you live in a civilized country or have really good health insurance, then go ahead and go to the ER.. this is just a suggestion for most of us poor americans.
I'm trying to remember what I said in this video that your comment could be referring to, but I'm honestly drawing a blank. Interesting information though.
@@Harldan1 my bad, i usually put a timestamp in.. i think you had talked about stubbing your toe really bad after tripping over your dog and thinking about going to the ER? i'd have to go back and find it.
@@this.is.a.username Ah, right. It wasn't nearly that bad, and it's fine now. Appreciate the info though.
Finally, realistic times. Lol
5-6 hours is a completely realistic time even if you aren't speedrunning. That's my standard time when I'm playing casually.
You give off Andrew Panton vibes
I have no idea who that is.
@@Harldan1 an entertaining storyteller, much like yourself! He’s from a podcast
Your challenge run idea sounds a lot like an idea I had back in Wrath when the game was feeling really stale, and probably for a lot of the same reasons, there was a fair bit of neglect and rot that the game was experience that to Blizzard's credit they actually tried to address in Cataclysm. Ironically one of the plans that I had was a pet battling system, because that's something that could be done essentially completely with addons.
This comes up because you love the game and the game sucks. I like the game, I even see where they're going with the new M+ affixes and I don't hate them. I also see why they're going to be hated by the community. The problem with WoW is decay. They work on the tiny piece of it that is active, and let the rest rot. Now that even 10.0.7 is out, the stuff from the 10.0 release is already irrelevant. You have world quests at 70 for what exactly? Why do world quests instead of the forbidden reach where you will get loot that dwarfs anything from the first half of the season. What about world bosses? What about rares? They are all irrelevant now. What about Normal and Heroic dungeons?
Then you go to the new player experience. This gets touched only occasionally, never completely, and then ignored for years. The current campaign has you doing BfA. In 9.x it had you doing BfA. It's not beed updated since shadowlands and before that it was worse.
What your concept is, is "how can we make this collection of assets and systems that is SO CLOSE to actually being a game into an actual game that is fun to play?" there's hours of material from 1-60. But it's not a game, at the most it's a chore. It's certainly not teaching you anything. It's not fun. It's not explaining the setting and the story of the world. It's just kind of there because it was there before and Blizzard is working on different things now. Even the exile's reach final dungeon had a giant graphical glitch on the floor, which was present in my game as well, when the dragon does the big ability.
All of the things that you can do for the leveling experience, heirlooms, skips, darkmoon faire, they're all just to make it go by faster. Heirlooms for example even remove reward systems built into the game. But they're useful because the builtin reward systems suck because you level too fast for quest rewards and drops to keep up with you.
Very true. The point you mentioned about new patches invalidating old content is something which absolutely infuriates me and I was just talking to my guildies about it the other day. So many MMOs have figured out a solution to that problem, and WoW hasn't. While Blizzard is spinning their wheels shoveling out content we'll never touch again, FFXIV and GW2 are slowly adding permanent content to their game that improves the entire experience. The gap gets wider every patch, and soon WoW simply won't be able to compete.
what add-on do you use to show your personal health bar to show % and digits? thanks!
That's all part of the default UI.
Alliance video? :(
Not sure what you mean, I already said in this video that I plan on doing one for Alliance, but these things take time.
@@Harldan1 How to unlock Chromie
@@valoarce98 Reach level 60 on one character.
Please do Alliance video but without Fairemoon xp boost, it's a bit more realistic! Hope you can do a complete video without cutscenese, thank you for the help!
I'm not doing a run without the Darkmoon Buff, there's nothing unrealistic about it. It's available for an entire week once per month. If you want to level alts, just wait until then.
@@Harldan1 With Darkmoon xp buff how many hours you save?
@@luciocesaro6926 It saves about 30 min to 1 hour, it's impossible to get an exact measurement but it's within that range I'd say.
@@Harldan1 Oh okay, it's good enough then, I thought it was like half of the time with Darkmoon Buff, thank you!
What a coincidence! I'm a new player who's leveling a horde outlaw rogue as my 1st character!
I'm like 56 right now, so that's a bit late of a find, but should be interesting. Also interesting to learn that it's apparently a really bad leveling spec. I was wondering if me struggling to AoE stuff is a skill issue.
I'm only 30 minutes in so I don't know if you talked about it, but as a new player I'm trying to unlock the 3 allied races in BfA while leveling and I think that would be a fairly common goal for someone in my possition.
And I think I've done way too many quests since I'm only half way through the blood troll zone questline at this level, so looks like I'm going to waste time doing a lot of those quests at 60. I'm actually planning to do the same thing (unlock 3 allied races) on Alliance side for my next character - are there any good resources so I can limit myself to only needed quests?
Also is it worth it to get Dragonflight before starting that alliance toon or it won't benefit me while leveling?
Whether you get Dragonflight or not is up to you, really. I don't think it will make any major difference. As for unlocking the allied races, it should be fairly straightforward now since you just need to complete certain questlines.
@@Harldan1 What I meant mentioning Allied races is that I imagine a lot of new players would be, like myself, tempted to try to unlock them while leveling their first character as a 2 for 1.
I mean while do those qquestlines later if you can do when while leveling? I imagine it would make leveling less efficient in itself, but that's gotta be faster than doing both separately, right?
@@EmnelGaming Debatable. At max level you can mostly one shot the quest mobs, so it goes by pretty fast. I would argue the times are fairly comparable. Also, in this run I actually do technically unlock Vulpera, and if someone wanted to they could unlock Highmountain Tauren instead of doing WoD stuff.
Once you have Chromie Time unlocked I'd 100% recommend following my standard route and unlocking the rest of the allied races on a max level character.
@@Harldan1 I might be missing something here but the War Campaign for the Orcs and the Trolls seems to require Friendly rep with all 3 of the Zundalar zone factions which would require doing big parts of those zones again (I'm like 2.5/3 atm).
But yeah, I'll go for it for the alliance char with chromie time, I think.
@@EmnelGaming Friendly rep is extremely easy to reach, it's the first level after Neutral (what you start at), and can be done with only a handful of quests or dungeon runs.
On your rotation conversation, having levelled a rogue very recently, I will say that spending combo points on slice and dice is almost always going to be what you want.
What I found is that I would ambush on start, immediately into SnD then build into BtE. I usually only put a 2or 3 combo BtE if I'm fighting one or two enemies but if they're going to live for a while I try to get a 5 point BtE.
Biggest thing early though is SnD. For the first like 30 levels my top damage is always just melee
not a fresh WoW account has basically 3 level 60's i hate when people use terms loosely but sweet vid good effort put in
No, the term isn't used loosely at all. I clearly explained how the "basically 3 level 60 characters" have 0 impact on the account wide progression. If I have nothing unlocked on my account, and I level a brand new character, it's identical to creating a new character on a brand new account. The only difference is that creating ANOTHER new account just to appease comment nitpickers would cost me an additional $15, so I'm not going to do that.
