Dragonflight Leveling Guide for WoW (1-70) Alliance & Horde

Welcome to a comprehensive leveling guide for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. The guide below includes all the relevant information you should know as a player to reach level 70 in World of Warcraft. Discover the latest tips to increase your leveling efficiency, the best zones, quests, and dungeons in Dragonflight. Ultimately, you will learn how it's sometimes about more than just reaching the maximum level as fast as possible.

When logging into World of Warcraft, you will create your in-game character. Upon doing so, you must make sure you pick the best race and class combination for your needs. For instance, you can't be a Goblin paladin. However, do note that the combinations change in every expansion. For instance, if you play on a WoW Private Server that is running on a different expansion than Dragonflight, you will be able to play with class- and race combinations.

• Tauren Mage
• Highmountain Tauren Mage
• Orc Priest
• Highmountain Tauren Priest
• Tauren Rogue
• Highmountain Tauren Rogue
• Draenei Rogue
• Lightforged Draenei Rogue

Depending on the spec and race you have chosen above, you should also decide on the role you would like to focus on. For instance, do you want to be responsible for tanking the bosses and ensuring you keep the aggro of the mobs? Or do you want to heal and rescue the group? Three roles:

• Tank: Responsibility for protecting their team members from damage. They need to keep the aggro.

• DPS: They are mainly responsible for killing the mobs and enemies as quickly as possible. As a DPS, you can either be a Meele- or a Ranged DPS.

• Healer: They must ensure the group members stay alive by healing and resurrecting them.

Questing is the ideal way to level your character in Dragonflight. It is the recommended way to get to level 70. However, it can also be boring from time to time. We recommend that you do a combination of the different leveling types. Otherwise, you can risk burning out from only doing quests and never reaching that maximum level for your character. Later in the article, you will discover the best zones to quest in and figure out the optional leveling areas.

Grinding is the old and classic way of leveling. It is plain and simple leveling by killing mobs/npcs without having any quests assigned to the mobs you are killing. It can be effective if you are a class such as a Mage and have found many spawns close to each other so that you can do AOE grinding. However, it is generally considered the slowest way of leveling your character in Dragonflight. You can do it if you want to have some leveling variation, but it's not the best way to reach level 70 in this expansion.

Dungeons are a great way to get your character to the max level. It will grant you a great amount of experience and fun and provide you with much better items and gear from the bosses. Here at Zremax, we consider dungeons necessary for reaching level 70 in Dragonflight. If you don't do dungeons, you will lack items and proper gear, making the quest paths harder and resulting in the leveling process taking up much longer. Another thing to note with Dungeons is that World of Warcraft is an MMORPG game, and Blizzard designed it to be a team game. So they want to promote dungeons, and they also focused on doing this in the Dragonflight expansion. You need to find a group of 5 members when doing dungeons, as the difficulty is heavily increased compared to questing. Therefore, it's a benefit to be playing on an active server, whether you are playing retail or on a Dragonflight Private Server.

• Level 1-10: Exile's Reach.

Hint 1: The zone is a contested territory, and it is great at getting you to exactly level 10. It's fun and quick to do.

• Level 10-20: Legion quest line & Silverpine Forrest

Hint 2: Legion questline: Start by beginning the Legion questline, which you can do by speaking to Chromie quest giver. Continue questing here until you receive the Dalaran Hearthstone, which will benefit your leveling journey to 70 later.- Hint 3: After completing the Legion quest line, you should do Silverpine Forrest.

• Level 20-25: Riding Skill & War Mode & Silverpine Forrest / Hillsbrad Foothills

Hint 4: Once hitting level 20, return to Orgrimmar and learn your character's Riding Skill. After doing so, enable War Mode and then return to your leveling zone (Silverpine Forrest).

Hint 5: Begin the WoD questline by speaking to Chromie and selecting WoD.

Hint 11: Use your Garrison Hearthstone to head back to World of Draenor and reach the Gorgound zone.

Hint 12: Make sure that you complete all the quest lines in Gorgound, including side-quests like The Crimson Fen and bonus objectives such as "Valley of Destruction," "Mistcreep Mire," and "The Razerbloom." After completing all the quest lines, you should be hitting level 60 and finally able to move to Dragonflight content to reach level 70! Congrats.

Hint 7: Set up your Garrison and ensure you do all the quests you can in this zone. It gives a lot of good XP. Ensure you do the Starfall Outpost questline and the Bloodthorn Hill objective.

Hint 8: When completing these questlines above, move to Spires of Arak until you reach level 35. Generally, this leveling phase (30-40) is harder for the Alliance races than the horde zones, as you don't have Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad Foothills on Alliance.

Hint 9: After reaching level 35, head to Loch Modan and level up here.

The main difference is that Advanced mode is another way players can level in Dragonflight. To use the Adventure mode, the main character must have completed the campaign mode first, with all the storylines in the four zones. You can consider Advanced mode as an alternative leveling path for your alt characters.

1. Make sure to always head into an Innkeeper when logging off so that you can gain rested XP. Rested XP gives you the double amount of experience gained: - Normal XP: 100% - Rested XP: 200%

2. Use your Hearthstone wisely. You can save much time using your Hearthstone to return to the zones you need for quests.

The fastest way would be to follow our guide of the questing zones, which we concluded earlier. However, using this with a combination of dungeons along the way can be good. This way, you can get better character gear, explore different game parts, and have fun! It's important not to get burned out while playing World of Warcraft .
