  • How long is the journey from 1 to 60 really in Classic World of Warcraft from an XP point of view?
    That is the question I attempt to visualize and explain in different fun and interesting ways in today’s video. It won’t be a guide on how to maximize leveling speed, the best way to level or something like that, but rather a display of some of the numbers behind the 1 to 60 Classic WoW journey.
    I have not had any statistics or big datasets available to look at, and the Classic WoW leveling experience is of course different to everyone, and there are no correct or wrong ways to go about it.
    In today’s video, I set up some “leveling scenarios”, so to say, and talk about the basic math behind them. I will be asking quite a few hypothetical questions and let the thoughts flow from there.
    It is possible that I have made some calculation errors, so you can check them all for yourself through the links below. If you find any mistakes I would be happy to know about them. I hope you enjoy the video!

    Wonderful effort. It sounds right on, for both cleave runs and solo grinding. What total played time do you think is realistic for good gamers but not expert fingers? I think somewhere around 9 days to 13 days is realistic maybe? My mage is lvl 58 at 18 days, but I have done most of the quests, my 5 professions are at 300, and I have done all faction and neutral dungeons about 3 times each (for quest completion). Thanks for all the numbers!

    • @moegdalswowvideos6800
      @moegdalswowvideos6800  4 года назад

      Thanks a lot! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and the numbers :) In terms of played time, it's hard to say. When I did some research I saw people saying the average was probably between 8 to 10 days, but this might have been based on private servers where people were more hardcore. I've also heard people say that leveling takes longer in Classic generally, so the estimate you bring up could very well be accurate. Pretty cool that you've taken your time to level up all professions and experience the dungeons so thoroughly!

      I can totally imagine that. I was fortunate enough almost never to get ganked when leveling my character in the beginning. I guess people were too focused on getting to 60 fast then and didn't bother PvP'ing with no honor system yet.

    SO i know i suck at leveling. I have like 12 days played and I'm only level 56. Now i am a warrior so its tough, but its silly. The problem right now is that i can level any place other than dungeons. i am posting up until BGs and i am getting RESTED. I think the key is going to be getting my rested.

    • @moegdalswowvideos6800
      @moegdalswowvideos6800  4 года назад

      That's not too bad of a played time, honestly. Getting rested experience in an inn is definitely something I personally prioritize above all almost since it helps so much - especially at the higher levels! Leveling my mage from 1-60 I pretty much always logged out in an inn except if I was coming back only a few hours later.

I really hope leveling becomes a little easier. I dont mind dying, its part of the game. But it shouldnt be a constant blood bath, where i die 2-3 times per quest. I hope this gets a little better.

      I speak about it briefly in my "How Azeroth was Nerfed in TBC" video. After the changes that happened to XP in patch 2.3.0 in TBC, you would be dinging level 60 when you would otherwise have been level 55 and a half in Vanilla - from a pure, numeric XP point of view. That's without the quest XP buffs taken into account. XP gained from a lot of quests was also buffed along with other changes that also made leveling faster and easier.
