I agree with this man.

why not make an option on pre 60 quests to take an experience bonus rather than the item reward? like 70% bonus on quest experience, and no item.

I would love for this to happen. I just started again with my druid and most of the quest items suck and its easier to just keep what I have.

50-58 is far shittier in terms of quest hubs and giant grind gaps than 30-40.

I like where your head is at

Yeah, I don't get this either. STV alone is enough to get you from 30-40. Yes, I know it's somewhat of a chore on PvP servers, but man up you pussies. I did STV on every single one of my 45+ characters (6 I think now), start to finish just because there's so much shit to do there.

However, I just picked up my shaman again a few weeks back at 55. I took him out to felwood, killed a few mobs for 300 RESTED xp, did one quest for 3000xp, popped him out to thrallmar and killed a level 58 boar for 1200xp. Huh, yeah, I'll just have a buddy summon me some water and do this for awhile.

Are we speaking pre-Silithus? Since they added Silithus to the game nearly two years ago, the 50-58 "grind" has been a lot smoother.

30-40 was never the problem level range. 40-50 typically was; it was especially long for Alliance players since they didn't have as many overlapping quests in STV, or a decent quest hub in Hinterlands.

This change would actually make me consider trying out a PvP server. Yes, once I got to 60th, I would be gettting owned frequently, but the climb to 60th would not be near as bad.

Dis · 10-08-2007, 01:05 PM

from 52-58 I did nothing but BRD two boxed with a 70 fury warrior. I basically cleared up to the AE part, rinse and repeat. Made for some fast levels.

Flesseck · 10-08-2007, 01:05 PM

I'm glad they're also revamping Dustwallow Marsh for the 30-40 range. I think that range was also STV territory which was a bitch on PvP servers so this will definitely be a big help.

Sithro · 10-08-2007, 01:09 PM

How hard is it to level up a Rogue at the current exp rate? I've been a bit interested in the class of late. Grinding my Warlock is a pain in the ass.

Northerner · 10-08-2007, 01:10 PM

If you are not getting 50-58 easily with existing quests I'm pretty shocked. I've always found that stretch to be the easiest by a good margin and there are tons and tons of quest hubs to feed off if you don't like the grind. Blasted lands, felwood, winterspring, both plaguelands, Searing/burning, silithus and azshara offer lots of shit to do and there are thousands of mobs types (including some incredibly gimp ones) for grinders.

To each their own though.

Saban · 10-08-2007, 01:12 PM

50-58 isnt too bad, 40-50 is the worst stretch imo.

Not very hard at all. Rogues are one of the best grinding classes there is.

As I recall, there's 2-3 quests available pre-57 and about 5-6 more at 57. Hardly does anything for the grind.

On the subject though, I'd recommend (if horde):
51: Bulwark / felstone field. Grind skeletons til 52.
52: Ungoro
53: Dalson's / most of felwood
54: Whithering / Gahrron's / rest of felwood
55: All the EPL quests (tirion, lhc, nathanos)
56: Winterspring
57: Silithus / grind

Most of what I listed will fill out an entire level except maybe 54 and 56.
