Leveing from 60-70 is faster than 50-60 tbh
60-65 is about 2 levels per day, 3-4hours play time per day
then 65-70 is more like a level per day.
Questing is by far the fastest way to level if your not rested, if your rested killing mobs may have a slight edge but you will get bored faster...
Grats on the blue drop! It is still rare getting Boe blue drops in WoW, so these usualy sells quite good
i had rested XP all the way from 60 to 70 and it still took me ages - got about 1/1.2k xp per kill. maybe it just felt like ages because i dragged it out..but if you get down to it, between 65-70 you could level in about 6/7 hours of pure grinding and questing
got a lvl 56 rogue sitting in thrall atm, getting 1200xp of a kill. but its going slow and if i pull more than 1 i get owned , well patch is out today 30% increase in quest/xp rate, going to epl to own some noobs.
Restarting ain't that bad. I rerolled when BC hit and recently decided it would be a good idea to move to TH EU coz US Saffer population is only getting smaller.
I'm having a blast leveling and by the time WOTLK hits I'll be 70 with decent gear and I won't have to level 1-80.
Thing bout local servers, ur chars arent safe, back when i played private server, i couldnt get past lvl 14 -.-
on official on the other hand, sure theres a sub system, but ull never loose ur chars, heck sumtimes GM actually give u back chars uve deleted, and its alot more populated, besides from reading posts on this forum there are quite a few SA players 2 play with
I dont know why everybody punts questing as leveling up so much. levelling can get very boring very quickly especially on those damned collection quests, after lvl60 I found instancing way way more fun levelling up and it actually was a breeze.
It may technically be slower levelling than grinding quests, but its much more fun and not bad XP at all. Plus, you get the chance to get nice drops and lots of greens which is turned into gold.
I wasn't the fastest leveller, but I mixed my questing with lots of instancing and specced holy so that getting a group was a question of 10 minutes. At lvl70 I just had the 1000g at my disposal to buy riding 225.
