To stay in the initial 3 versions (Classic-BC-WLK), would you lock at 29 or 30?
I randomly notice big jumps in quest rewards and stuff, that’s one factor, beside talents.
But mostly curious about side effects such as being pestered too much by doing Pandaria or Vashj’ir.
Of course it logically applies to 34, 39, 44, 49… I recall SL begins calling at 48, so that’s an exception, but it’s way in the future, if ever.
I’m 100% certain that you lock your XP at level 30 for vanilla, TBC and WotLK. If you reach level 32 or higher legacy damage starts to kick in, if you are not Timewalking-leveling (by talking to Chromie).
