I just feel like im more concerned with enjoying everything the game has to offer rather than rushing through it just to hit 60. Im not against people enjoying it their way besides the fact that buying gold to boost is kinda lame.

Id just rather enjoy doing everything, working on alchemy, fishing from time to time, cooking etc. If i skipped all this im sure i wouldve leveled much faster but i just enjoy having a more well rounded experience. But for me, the leveling process is enjoyable and even though ive raided some its not as rewarding as just leveling new toons.

I mean that's 150 hours, which is 50 hours a month, which is 12.5 hours a week. That's already a lot to spend on a hobby tbh.

That's equivalent to raiding 2 times a week of 4 hours sessions and then playing a little in between.

Damn, makes me feel better about my first time around in the 2019 release. I hit 59 with a friend in just under 2 months but didn't want to continue the subscription, probably could have hit 60 in that time though we didn't seem to find many dungeon groups at the time we played for whatever reason.

Though that was with a friend and a healer friend at that, now I'm soloing as a warrior and taking my sweet damn time it will probably take me 4 or 5 months lmao.

Well, its a good thing we are all not the same. I have been playing the game since release in my teens. Back then I had all the time in the world. Now, with work, family, house etc, I simply dont have as much time to play. But I still want to partake in TBC, and for me, a boost to 58 will be of great value.

7 hours ago
compound-interest

I barely have time to play too, with the kid, house, wife, and long hours at my job, which is why I have been slowly leveling a few hours a week in preparation for tbc. Its hard for me to believe that anyone has "no time to level" in classic but somehow has time to level in BC and do the endgame activities. Just doesn't make sense to me. It's probably going to be 6+ months before tbc. Nearly everyone reading this has the time in that timespan if they want to spend the time. What I hear when I read that is "I don't want to level again", which is fine, but I don't think people that don't want to level in an MMO deserve to be in the endgame. It's part of the journey.

People view leveling as a waste of time to get to the endgame. I don't think those types belong in classic, personally. Even if someone never makes it to cap and just levels a bit, I think that's better than skipping to the endgame. Leveling is half the game or more, and in a community game like WoW it really affects the game negatively to add these sorts of skips imo. People saying they want to play but have no time to level is a tale as old as the genre itself, and it's frankly malarky. There's barely any adults that have no time to level but simultaneously have time to play endgame. No, it's that they value the endgame activities more and want to get right to them. I don't think people that think that way belong in classic, personally.

Still-Expression-71

If you’ve done it before you can get to 20 in an afternoon.

It gets slower after that but again if you’ve done it before, which many have, you can really cruise through a lot of it.

Biggest time sinks are inefficient question routes or waiting around without doing anything.

I was raiding on my hunter during the first lockout on anniversary but I’ve leveled double digit characters to 60 in 2005, 2019, 2021 and 2024.

Preexisting game knowledge is a gigantic advantage in classic

First characters are always slow

Once you've done the leveling zones multiple times and know the optimal routes, which quests to avoid/delay doing etc, it's much faster

Also a lot of people use leveling guides (restexp, guidelime, zygor..) which makes it even faster.

My first char back in vanilla, it probably took me weeks even reach level 20

With good quest routing and focusing on leveling fast any class can get to 60 in about 100-110 hours which if you take a week off I'm to play 15 hours a day makes it possible. Been there done that a couple times, but my first character took 14 days played so like 300? hours to get to 60

:horde::warlock:

This is from boosting, even faster if you are on a mage. I would not recommend this on the first playthrough or trying a new class for the first time.

1-8: World Buffs + Fiery Enchant Skinning Dagger, takes about 45mins. Then you boost.

8-16/17 RFC: about 3 resets taking 20-30 mins for each reset so a bit over an hour time played.

16-26 SFK: At this point I dunno how many resets or time.

26-40 SM Cath+Arms

this is the point as mage things take off even quicker

40-53 ZF solo

53-60 ST solo

if you are not a mage you boost Mara to 50-52 and then ZG the rest of the way.

I genuinely think SoD leveling speed was pretty good. Maybe reduce the bonus by 50%. It’s actually pretty hard for me to enjoy anniversary because I know I level slowly and I’m probably not going to be able to hit 60 for 4-5 months. SoD the gameplay was probably a tad bit too fast but it was much more engaging than auto attacking.

Catchdown

follow a guide if you want to go somewhat fast. RXP guide gets you to level 60 in around 100 hours played, I believe?

But People go up to insane speeds nowadays. Such as boosting a character to 60 in around 1 day /played ( semiafk / following a mage booster) or solo levelling a mage(aoe ofc) in 2.5 days /played. No quest route compares to boosting, of course. Can't beat a mage blizzarding 350 mobs in maraudon.

Efficiency may or may not spoil your fun. If you want to go full efficiency minmax wow isn't really the right place for it. You could be a high rank competitive player or even a pro and you end up doing bwl speedruns in wow. Play the game the way you like though. Having fun is the goal

Point is it's just game knowledge and time spent that makes you a fast leveler.

I just hit 60 on my first toon. A hunter, took 9 days /played, around 10 months irl.

I've just been enjoying what the game has to offer.

Through my leveling journey I've done a lot, and I kinda feel like I've "beat" the game as a hunter now.

I've hunted a few rare pets. Learning that whole system (also how to teach your pet new abillities) took a while for me, haha.

I've spend a ton of time personalising the ui and making macros.

I've done a ton of different dungeons.

I've leveled my professions (lw and skinning) to 300, same with all the secondary professions.

I've farmed a ton of gold to get my mounts, and buy mats for professions.

I've done a ton of exploration.

I've tried different talent builds.

I've had sworn enemies, and gone on killing sprees (every single UD rogue has to pay for the amount of times I've been sapped and stunlocked by their kin).

My work schedule will make raiding next to impossible, but I hope to do the different max level dungeons atleast.

This kinda was the game for me, atleast so far. I might level another class at one point. I've never understood the rush to 60 in classic.

Anyway, my point is, enjoy it the way you like. Some people enjoy the 60+ content more, some like the leveling.

Its about prioritization. Most people do not prioritize wow, and that is fine. When classic came out in 2019, I wasn't planning to play, until some friends I played with in OG Vanilla got me to agree literally the day before launch. So, no chance to schedule vacation. But I don't have kids, and so I can still go pretty damn hard if I want to... 8 hours at work x 5 days a week + 1 hour x 5 days showering/commuting/etc + 7 hours sleeping x 7 = 74 hours per week left to play wow...

I wasn't in the very first bleeding edge wave to hit 60, but I was around level 52 when the bleeding edge was hitting 60, and was ready to go when MC raids started.

For TBC I knew it was coming, and just took the whole week off... because I have at ton of PTO banked and so I can...

Sure, there is time to spend being a home owner, but a lot of shit can wait two weeks...

Bonus: Being right behind the bleeding edge, means lots of great pugs for the first few weeks. While there isn't a perfect correlation between being hardcore and being good, the people with that level of commitment usually also spend the time to know what they are doing...

We just returned after a few years. I’m trying to take my time leveling. Rushing to 60 so I can raid asap is the gut reaction, but in the end I’ll just get geared, get bored, and the quit again. I’m going to enjoy leveling and the casual experience this time.

I spend alot of my time leveling herbing/skinning and sending to a bank alt to AH.

So I level slower but got gold and enjoy the slower pace.

Idk I'm at almost 10 days played and just hit lvl 53. But I also fly all over the map to turn in 1 quest. Try and gank that dude 6 lvls higher. Spend more than enough time camping corpses... I find the game to be more enjoyable that way. If you want to get to 60 as fast as humanly possible play a mage and AOE farm. And forget about professions. Shoot I probably have a good 6 to 12 hours just fishing....

That's pretty normal, dude. My rogue, just casually playing and doing quests or dungeons when there was gear I wanted, was like 7 days played. I didn't rush it, but I didn't really stand around and do nothing. Just played the game. No guides. Just addons like questie or one that shows level ranges for zones. Basically just picked a zone that was in my level range and did all the quests. I planned for dungeons if there were items I wanted, like the dagger from SFK, example.

I'm currently leveling a warrior. I'm level 23 with 1 day and a bit played.

Again, mostly questing with dungeons thrown in. This time around, I am using guidelime and following the steps as I want to get this guy to 60 and geared ASAP before warrior demand drops in tbc lol. Have some fun being OP.

I'll probably start a paladin in TBC, and I'll probably use guidelime again.

A good mage can aoe farm certain instances and level pretty quickly. Get some guildies (especially other competent mages) and you can begin power leveling. Looks miserable though

I was on track to hit 60 in a week then some guy called me a f*g and said hey that's a racial slur for gay people and I take offense to that.

He reported me and I got banned for a week for hate speech.

I appealed it and they said I was using abusive language.

I played for a couple days after my ban duration ran out then dropped it a couple days later when I got banned again for mining an ore node in front of a bot.

I got mass reported for hacking or botting. The bot reported me for botting and I got banned.

Possible but hard, don't think someone would do it while working a 40hour regular job.

I had 2 weeks off when classic came out, in those to weeks I got to 60 and had most of the easy caster gear (mage)

If you streamline how you play, while planning for as little downtime as possible, rare visits to cities, mainly just sticking to questing and the occasional important dungeons with quests I think 100 hours for 1-60 is easy to accomplish. If you are going back to major cities multiple times every 2 levels or having a lot of downtime afk, or leveling professions, or doing dungeons multiple times for a BIS lvl 26 item that is of minimal importance in the long run then yeah your number will be inflated. The only dungeon(s) worth running multiple times in my opinion is SM, if you can get to level 32 and then stay in SM til like 38-40 with minimal downtime finding groups.

An addon that really helped me is "what's training?", it shows skill unlock breakpoints so you can make a better decision of when to buy skills. The town is lava.

100 hours is a 100 hours, whether you play 15 hours a day for a week or 3-4 hours a day for a month

If you set a goal to hit levels fast you can do it pretty quick, especially if it's an alt that can get bankrolled by an established toon.

I routinely did freshes and has done 1-60 first week most times it involves following an exact route and genuinely knowing how to do every step before you get there. Most people are 10-15 days otherwise

I honestly don't understand the whole 1-60 in a week myself. I mean I definitely can't do it during the vanilla days I only had two 60s a Paladin and a druid, I didn't have multiple level capped characters until cata.

Some people are absolutely obsessed with the endgame, so they grind as hard and as fast as they can to hit 60 ASAP and make the first raid lockouts with their guild.

Others take their time and enjoy the game, playing a couple of hours at a time and questing at a reasonable/spontaneous pace.

Both methods of play are valid. As long as nobody's boosting.

Those are people who have been playing the game for years and years. Even before classic was re-released the first time, people were religiously playing on private servers. These people know the fastest routes and which mobs to grind plus they probably get help from others, like with mob tagging or literally spamming dungeons non stop for hours and hours and hours. Imo playing the game like that isn't fun, nor how it was intended

It took me about a year playing off and on to get my first era character to 60. Don't feel bad, everyone levels at a different pace. I enjoy taking my time, reading the quests, and working on professions/ah so I can utilize a mount and gear that I can craft for myself while leveling. I treat it like it is, an RPG

There are people who are playing the game to level to 60 as fast as possible and have min/maxed pretty seriously for 20 years now. Yes it’s absolutely possible and anyone with time can do it. But it’s not the name of the game. And comparison is absolutely the thief of joy as others have stated. Enjoy it for what YOU enjoy it for :). Happy hunting fellow Azerothian !

I'm a fairly experienced leveller. If I go "all in" on just levelling I average somewhere around 6 to 7 days /played. (that's not 7 days in a row. Just the total combined time)
My most recent character hit almost 10 days /played before 60 (spread over several weeks) because I took the time to level all my professions. Do some goldfarming along the way for mounts. And just overall chill.

Don't worry about how fast others are going and play in a way that suits you. The most important thing is your own enjoyment.
