Whats the best to övl from 1-40 as warrior solo lvling?
I m lvl 20 and getting around 20k xp/h from grinding and doing the quest on that place and pretty nice money
Questing seems to take more time couse of all travel time
I multiboxed a shaman so i would always have windfury. Does that count? Was great though!
Either way I did a mix of quests/ dungeon/ grind. Does best equal fast? You never did say. For me variation is key to make it “best”. If speed is your thing then melee cleave SM from 30-40 seems fast. I just did that for a level when by chance it was 2 warriors and a rogue that joined me.
I pretty much did quests 1-30 with the occasional dungeon if i had a bunch of quests.
Did SM 30-42, leveled up feralas/tanaris until 44 to go ZF until 50.
Did ST until 52 and went BRD until 57 to then swap to LBRS.
I swapped to prot at around 52 because that’s what i wanted to play at 60.
I did questing back in vanilla so i wanted to try dungeons this time around.
Arms is loads of fun pre 50.
If you’re efficient at doing quests or maybe try jamies leveling guide you can get really good XP per hour, better than grinding.
I’ve been doing that mixed in with a few dungeons for fun and have been levelling pretty quick. I’m arms spec and have tanked everything up to ZF, just go DS and equip a shield and 1 hander.
I leveled during launch so i had a lot of cleave groups.
Basically 3 arms warriors with sweeping strike, ravager, shaman for windfury and a healer.
Because of the amount of damage done, tanks weren’t really needed since npc’s died fast.
On one hand you have warrior solo questing, where you’re just basically playing runescape, trading blows.
On the other, you have dungeon leveling cleave groups, big pulls and fast progress.
You tell me which one is the robot.
If you just want speed following a guide will help a lot. As you said travel time is a killer and vanilla quests can be done very inefficiently unless you know what to do in what order and which quests you need to pick up in different locations. Guides often focus on effective quest routes though.
Instance wise you should do them and get some gear. Warrior is vastly more fun to level with decent gear so tank or dps some instances. The SM armory is has some nice drops though and very good exp.
The mats for the whirlwind axe class quest at level 30 shouldn’t be very expensive anymore. Do it.
That being said following a guide like this kills part of the experience, especially if it’s your first character. It becomes more mindless.
I did all of the above, but no guides. I played vanilla and relied on memory. A lot less efficient though.
