I am almost 59 and still have plenty of quests to do

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I ended doing mainly dungeons 58-60 so I could a get head start on pre-raid bis

43

I dinged 60 and haven’t even touched wpl/epl, done the 2 mc quests in Silithus, done only the Felwood quests in Winterspring and none in Burning steppes… so absically all near 60 areas.
There’s plenty of quests, whenever I ask people ok did you do this or that area the answer always was so far ‘ooh, i didn’t like that area’.

Instances are awesome for the most part I just didn’t do them either much because it was a pain to wait for tanks so I just chose to quest instead.

44

Well, not sure how to explain how it happened, but I completely run out of quests in the beginning of 59.

45

Started in 2005 myself (1.4).
And it wasn’t so much a lack of quests as it was a lack of information about where those quests were. If you didn’t actively explore, you’d easily miss out on quests and quest chains. The Linken chain, for example. If you didn’t run across his raft, you’d never know it existed.

46

Well, I dislike Classic dungeons too (I very much prefer TBC heroics), but I still play it for the raids - sure, MC is kinda boring, but I still find the raiding experience as a whole enjoyable enough, and besides this is all warm up for AQ/Naxx.

In other words, you can still enjoy the game even if you dislike endgame dungeons. Unlike in further expansions, there’s little incentive to do them anyway once you got your pre-raid BiS gear (reputation, a few consumables, reagents for enchantments, and that’s about it)

47

At least half, if not more, of xp you get is from mob kills while questing, so rested does make for a hefty difference.

Also "Beginning of 2004?

And really, the issue was more that to get to every available quest, you’d also spend more time getting to them than what you would get back from doing them over just grinding.

48

And you’re still missing the entire point.
Nobody cares that you didnt have to grind at all. Who knows when you started playing in 2005.
Could be December for all we know.

What OP is refering to is :

They added tons of quests before launch and in later patches.
Thorium point quest hub was added in 1.5.

Silithus quest hub came in 1.8.

Ppl still remember a time where you had to grind the last remaining levels to hit 60 even tho most of this was during Beta iirc.

49

Ah now that’s more like it.

Yes, as I’ve been saying all along, people at that time didn’t know where to go to pick up all the quests, or establish an efficient questing route.

50

So it’s the travelling that’s the real problem here? Not necessarily a shortage of quests?

51

So the point of this post is, according to you, that people in pre-release patches had to grind because there weren’t enough quests.

OK fine.

It’s likely that some of the people in the beta patches had to grind. There you go.

But as far as I was aware, the OP was talking about Classic WoW, not WoW in beta stage.

52

Today i hit 59 and i run out of quests. I went to silithus and there was no quest there. I will start farming mobs. Should i go for Timbermaw rep or Argent dawn rep.

53

Aswell as having (mostly) 1.12 quests, you probably took a questing route that wasn’t completely ridiculous.

Skip badlands and blasted lands at your peril friends

54

I’d suggest timbermaw. You doing strat runs will probably get you to honoured with argent dawn anyway (wear the damn scourgestone trinket!)

If you want an easy grinding time though, sorrow hill farming while collecting tons of scourgestones is nice and comfy

Many questions regarding Classic stems from Vanilla.

Sorry that you fail to realise that.

56

Lack of quests that you’d find without being told they’re hidden somewhere. Lack of quests that aren’t spread so far apart your time is better spent grinding. And gaps of quests in some level ranges.

57

So again, your problem is a combination of travel time being too long, and lack of knowledge about where to go to get the quests - not that there aren’t enough quests.

58

You confuse (or more likely, intentionally throw in a strawman) “lack of knowledge” with “knowing they’re there, but estimating them not being worth it”.

59

Ah I see. So it’s not lack of knowledge at all it’s a combination of travelling to the quest locations taking to long, and the fact that you feel that the required effort is not worth the reward?

Neither of which indicates that there aren’t enough quests.

There are enough quests, you just choose not to do them.

You’re wrong about last 2-3 levels. In my case the problem started after 52 approximately (don’t remember mb 53), when I started quests in locations like felwood, Western plaguelands and others. I think, quests are not necessary here, because I’d increase my level faster with bring than running like a wild dog around whole azeroth. The levelling in classic is amazing untill you reach 50+ lvl. But anyway, this is still better than m+ and world quests. Let me see, what I’ll meet on 60.

61

They were and they are still elites even in Classic. Don’t know where did you get the impression that they are not elites anymore in Classic. Did that quest on my Lock… 2 weeks ago they were elites!
