XP buff expires on pre-patch - How fast is pre-patch leveling?

So, with pre-patch Winds of Wisdom goes away, that’s 100% increase. However, SL seems to be quite fast. But is pre-patch that so too?

All in general, what will the speed difference be?
Admittedly, I’m a somewhat slow leveling, can’t help it!
Perhaps I need to make time to make the most of it.

Thank you!:slight_smile:

Chromie Time Expansion Approximate Pace
Warlords of Draenor 12 hours
Legion 14 hours
Battle for Azeroth 16 hours
Mists of Pandaria 16 hours
Cataclysm 20 hours
Wrath of the Lich King 24 hours
The Burning Crusade 24 hours

A general player can now expect to make their way from level 1 to 50 in around 12-24 hours, depending on expansion, although a speed leveler could still knock these times down with proper planning and extensive use of enchants, consumables, and other optimizations.

Those times are higher than I expected.
I thought I saw people speed leveling it in like 6-7 hours, so I thought normal would be like 10.

Not surprised to see TBC and WOTLK as the slowest though lmao.
Hope they balance it a little, I think 14-18 is ideal. But not a big deal if they decide to keep it as is.

Thank you! But, can’t compare really unless I know the current estimates. (Like I said, I’m a slow leveler, makes a big difference)

i think thats gone up now to about 16 hours with recent nerfs but will be the route i take .

I’ll say 1-120 is probably between 30-72 hours depending on how you do it and your experience with the game.

That’s after nerfs.

This is aproximate time it’s not a standard . It depends on your game knowledge and how fast are you clicking on stuff :slight_smile:

Did my monk in less then 24 in dps spec , 20-120 , there are 4-5 exp buffs , from potions to other stuff .
Still pre-patch lvl-ing looks faster though but it’s only 1-50

Well that’s more the extreme than the norm with all the exp buffs and so on. Also the 50% xp buff from the monk quests add up pretty quick.
1-50 in prepatch is not comparable to 1-50 today in any way either :stuck_out_tongue:

So, pre-patch will in general be faster than now, with Words of Wisdom?

That’s the general idea, yes.

By my math no it won’t , as i said pre-patch is 1-50 only , still depends on you .
I have a lot of experience in wow :smiley:

Well thank you for posting them oh mighty dwarf !

Says so in the wowhead post I linked to.

You are the MvP thank you ! :kissing_heart:

I too have a lot of experience. Well… Not in your league. But by default, I’m just a slow leveler somehow.

Thank you all! Seems I can relax a bit then:)

Some players pointed out that it will be nicer in pre-patch still i don’t see how they didn’t give in any details .

I personally prefer doing it now , beat the iron till it’s hot ?

People said 6-7hour 1-50lvl. I think it’s good. Since if players wanted fast for level alts with other classes.

But, in SL can be 12hour 50-60. If I’m right.

Those were speed levelers times and also before they nerfed bonus objective xp.
