Night Elf levelling by moving area - noob warnihg

Classes Hunter
1

Hi all … a little noob help, please? I’m baffled :slight_smile:

I’m a brand new player starting out on a Classic Night Elf Hunter, which so far I love.

Just reached Level 20, and wondering how to proceed to level up in a leisurely manner, just doing PVE, and Solo.

So here I am in Darkshore, with a small time spent in Ashendale, which gets me to about half way to Level 21.

So I am of course looking at YouTube, which has excellent guides on how to level up 1 – 60 in five minutes.

Problem is, they all recommend hopping from area to area and level one or two levels and then pop back to the previous level to level 2 more, then to a different place to level up a level or two then god knows where next.

Nothing against the idea, makes a lot of sense, except for my noob question.

How?

I assume speed levellers are Level 60 and have played every race and opened every area in the game. Many many times :slight_smile: Or where’s the point of speed running?

But how in real life does a noobie new player manage to do the following from one such guide (just quoting the areas, never mind the levels)

Teldrasis, Darkshore, Redridge, Duskwood, Redridge, Duskwood,Wetlands, Ashenvale, Wetlands,

Duskwood … all just to reach Level 30?

I love the idea, but how does the actual physical travel work?

The land of the Night Elf seem very badly designed to let the noobies seek out and/or travel to other areas to cash in on lower level mobs and go back to the last area to continue the good fight within Night Elf lands.

The Humans and Dwarf have it all much easier, Knight Elf seems to me to be a badly designed , badly executed frustrating add-on. No flaming, please, honest opinion of a new innocent player.

Is there a guide out there somewhere which can help me play a Night Elf in such a way not to get insta killed (I hate that boring wisp run) or grind until my fingers fall off just gain a couple of levels to attempt the next level the game sends me to?

(I know, it’s meant to be hard … times were tough in Classic … not like namby pamby Retail, right … but seriously???)

Apologies for wall of words, my frustation is showing … I otherwise really want to play the delightful Night Elf, If I can find out how to do it without losing my sanity)

Any kind noob assistance will be greatly appreciated.

So in classic NE need to do duskwod then before ashenvale I’d recommend going to auberdine (the large port town to go darnassus)

Take the boat on the left port as you look out to sea and you will get to wetlands, run through here following the path all the way round wetlands (stay on path!) You may get killed by a stray high level Croc.

Go through the pass at the end of the wetlands into Loch modan.
You can level here easily but pending level may be low. I’d run through the cave pass into dun morough and then go into ironforge.

Ironforge tinkertown area into the deep run tram, you get on tram and come off at stormwind.

From here run out the main gate, can go left or right at goldshire to either red ridge or westfall.
I’d go westfall and do all the chain quests for rewards.

You are right NE in classic to start was a pita but get all the flight paths you you will enjoy the exploring as a new player, take your time and you will love classic

That’s great … thank you so much.

The guidea are right if you follow their exact path but yes designed for fastest leveling not first timers.

I would get an add on that shows question levels and only do the ones at your level or ideally one below, they are significantly easier to do and reward good xp.

As a hunter with a pet keep up with pet skills especially claw and growl if a cat or bird.
It makes it a lot easier to do (use beast lore on mobs every so often to see if it’s a higher rank, if so stable pet tame and use it until its learnt and go back to original pet, stables are by inns)

Keep arrows topped up each time you go to a goods vendor.

Then follow the lore, lake shire will breadcrumb into Redridge and duskwood in time, enjoy the quest stories alot are useful for later on in understanding the wider game story such as raid bosses.

On order for you:

Loch modan if any aren’t grey
Westfall (catch up grey quests they will go yellow)
Redridge 20 to 28
Duskwood/wetlands 22-30
Hillsbrad foothills 18 -25
Stonetalon/ashenvale 18-28

By now you will be 30 with a couple dungeons so look at:

Thousand needles
North stranglethorn area
Desolace
Arathi Highlands

See where you go from there,

General level guide and zone levels for horde and alliance in on wowhead Google “classic wow zone levels” I cant link sorry.

Beware if you haven’t played classic it’s alot of running!
Don’t buy gear save all gold sell everything you need 100g for mount at 40.

Also your a hunter abuse aspect of cheetah if your not fighting your in this to move faster!

Hope this helps.
