There is an age old debate "Questing or Grinding: Which is better?". Basically, you can either Quest or Grind to 60 or 70.
Questing : doing all the available quests
After a neat cinematic, you should be located in one of the three starting zones. These first ten levels are extremely simple! Just do all of the available quests in the starting zone you start in until you are level 10.
Grinding : the act of "grind" through the enemies for their base experience.
Grinding the first fifteen levels is not a very good option, due to how fast and easy the starting quests are. Always get your first quests done to purchase enough skills so that you aren’t fighting with just your starting skills. The drops early on (combined with your limited bag space) generally won’t pay for your skills.
Grinding will bore you to tears as you will be seeing the same scenery and mobs over and over and over and over again… Believe me, grinding again and again, the monotony makes your mind go numb. That’s why many people choose to do instances, groups, some battlegrounds and such, but that, on the other hand, is soooo slow.
The other way is Questing. However it can be just as frustrating as grinding because you don’t know which quests are worthwhile, where to go, whether or not you need a group for that elite quest or not, or you just end up traveling all across Azeroth and Outlands for delivery quests and it wastes your time a lot.
That’s why many players chose to grind and dismissed the claims that questing would be faster. Yet if you knew exactly what to do and didn’t have to look everything up all the time, questing can be faster.
Brian Kopp’s Guide and Joana’s Guides confirmed that Questing is A LOT faster than Grinding could ever be, IF you know the secrets. It’s also much more rewarding:
Questing
Grinding
Is faster
Is slower
Fun, varied
Boring, monotonous
Don’t have to be present all the time
Must be at computer all the time
Increases reputations A LOT
Hardly increases reputations at all
Lets you explore the lore
Doesn’t let you explore any lore
Get to see the world
Get to see a few areas in detail…
Get all flight points
Get fewer flight points
Gives you skills
Doesn’t take any skill
Gets faster every time you do it
Leveling speed is limited
Rewards items and gold
Good items may or may not drop
Now that you know Questing is the way to play WoW, check out the Review of the Leveling Guides on this websites and why I think they are so good. Though they do not address every aspect of WoW, they will definitely help you to power level to 60 or 70 so fast that your friends will think you’ve bought a power leveling service?
The strategies that you can get with these guides are not known by 99% of WoW players, so it will be something that sets you apart from everyone else.
In The Burning Crusade questing will be even more important for XP because grinding without having a quest to kill the mobs will be much less rewarding. These Guides are updated for The Burning Crusade.
