World of Warcraft Power Leveling Tips

There are some simple tips that will make your life a lot easier in the game of World of Warcraft, that I am going to share with you today. First I want to talk about some add-ons that you need to get to help you out. These are 3rd party programs and are NOT in violation of Blizzards Terms of Servoce (TOS), so you will not get into trouble using them.

The main program that I recommend is Cosmos. Cosmos is more or less a module that has many add-ons. You can choose amy amount of options to add to it that you desire. Some of the features that I find useful are:

     1. Cooldown Count - It shows the cooldowns of my abilities in yellow on the action bar,      and a quick glance at it lets me know when an ability is ready to be used again.

     2. Bar Options - let's me know when a creature is in range or out of range. This really come in handt for ranged attacks, using this feature will let you get just in range to give you multiple attacks before the creature reaches you.

     3. Census Plus - shows you a whole census of the current faction side of the server, all of the players and their levels in a neat colorful graph.

     4. UI Mods - gives you your map coordinates, which keeps you from getting lost in the huge map of World of Warcraft.

Professions are a waste of valuable play time if your goal is to get to the top as quick as possible, now if you are a casual gamer and in no hurry then professions might be very enjoyable for you. There have been some new ones added recently with Burning Crusade.

Always have the latest up to date food and water for your character. There are different levels of food and water, lower level food gives you small amounts of health while higher level foods will give you a greater amount of health. Upon reaching the levels of 15/25/35/45 you need to upgrade your food and water.

Plan ahead before you go out questing, don't waste valuable playtime sitting on the ground trying to figure out what you are going to do next, log out, develop your plan, then log back in and execute the plan you mapped out.

Skip the Battlegrounds and the Auction house. These are 2 places that are very time wasteful, again these hints are for getting your character to the top of his class in the shortest amount of time possible so skip out on those 2 places. If you need something from the Auction House create a Alternate character and use him to scope things out in the Auction House for your main.

Before you go out on a questing journey make sure that you are stocked up on all of the consumables you will need... ie. Food, Water, Bullets or Arrows. Make sure your equipment is repaired, that way you will be able to stay out for long periods of time without having to return to town.

On the subject of returning to town, just because your inventory is full doesn't mean that you have to run back to town and unload, I am constabtly destroying items in my inventory to make room for items that are more desirable. We are trying to level as quickly as possible here and running back and forth to town a lot wastes time.

Turn on auto looting. Blizzard implemented auto looting in the 2.0 patch whithch will really save you time on leveling. Instead of having to run to each corpse and manually loot it, you can have the program do it for you. To turn on auto looting, go to Interface Options and click the box that says Auto Loot Corpse.

Plan your character from the beginning, don't get character regret once your level 30. Put some thought into what you want to be, and what weapons you want to use, and stick with that the entire game. It takes too much time to switch weapons mid-stream.

Avoid grinding as much as possible. If you want to get to level 60 fast with less boredom stick with quests, they give you much more bang for the buck. Don't do one quest at a time! Pick quests that you can complete in the same region and knock out multiples at a time. When you enter into new areas, grab all of the quests from the NPC's first.
