Don’t feel like leveling characters in World of Warcraft to level 90? With the next patch, Blizzard will turn on the turbo.
World of Warcraft is now quite friendly if you want to play secondary characters. You can pass on gear, access fame progress, and use many “catch-up” systems. But you still have to level the characters first, and especially from level 80 to 90, it can become tedious. A problem that will soon be a thing of the past, as Patch 12.0.7 provides much more XP.
What is the problem with leveling in WoW: Midnight? Leveling a character in World of Warcraft Midnight for the first time is still quite interesting. There are many new quests and the areas are packed. With a second character, you catch up on some quest lines – then it gets tough.
Because if you want to level secondary characters (“twinks” or “alts”), you either have to repeat the same quests or play dungeons. This has proven to be relatively tedious. Therefore, Blizzard wants to drastically speed up this process.
Up to 8 times XP for the right quests in WoW
How will leveling be faster? While the normal quests remain unaffected by the changes, all “special” quests receive really big bonuses. Multipliers of over 700% are included.
The quests that are affected are the following:
- Call of the Deep Explorer (one-time deep quests for each depth)
- Dungeon quests
- Loot hunts
- Weekly fame quests
You can see how the XP for a level 80 character changes from the following table:
| Quest | XP previously | XP in Patch 12.0.7 | Increase in % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call of the Deep Explorer | 70,600 | 124,000 | 76 % |
| Dungeon quests | 23,350 | 54,000 | 129 % |
| Loot hunts | 17,650 | 101,000 | 472 % |
| Fame quests | 11,750 | 101,000 | 760 % |
With a higher level, this amount increases a bit more to offset the higher XP requirements for later levels.
How fast will leveling be then? The XP bonus is quite massive, so leveling will likely take several hours faster than before. However, keep in mind that these special quests are limited. There are only four fame quests per week, and the loot hunts are also limited.
However, this will likely still lead to completing these quests since they are too lucrative to ignore. So expect that you will need one or two fewer nights to catch up a character from 80 to 90.
What do you think about leveling secondary characters in World of Warcraft becoming faster? A good thing so that one can try out all classes in the endgame? Or would you prefer that leveling takes even longer because you can’t make anything of the endgame?
However, it seems that it will still take a few weeks before the changes come. Because it appears that Blizzard has learned from Patch 12.0.5 and delayed the next update.
