This changed my play style drastically. Before, I was rushing to finish quests as fast as possible and it drove me nuts always feeling like I was going too slow. Now, I just go to the area Zygor tells me (the Zygor addon puts a white circle on your minimap.) and I just cleanse everything I can find and eventually the quest objective completes. I may even be going slower, but the mindset shift of just chilling, leveling professions, and always killing stuff makes the leveling experience much more enjoyable for me. I like the feeling that my character is always progressing in some way.

Many people reference the"ohh it took me 3 months to get to 60 the first time" as to why classic will take so long. The truth is that is when everyone was a noob at the game and leveling. The more you level the more efficient you become. We are at the point where for classic we know exactly how to level quickly. So yeah no wonder it takes people less time.
Detham 4-5 days played seems to be the “average” for Classic. If you only played 2 hours a day, maybe not every day, you get to 3 months real time. No doubt we’re all better at the game, and most people won’t take that long real time, but it’s not so outlandish.
3 months? that's extremely fast. Playing wow as it was back in 2004/5 would have been easily 6months + for a lvl 60 for most people I knew (in highschool) at the time. 3 months would have been considered extremely fast. 4/5 days played.... "average" ???? Joana's WORLD RECORD was literally 4d 20h.. so you're saying that the WORLD RECORD of the BEST SPEED LEVELER was the average played time?? Pretty sure my first warrior took over 20 DAYS /played EASILY to hit 60, it might have been over 40 - I actually can't remember. For a new, casual player that was new to MMOs at the time.. there would have been others out there like that. 8/10 days was my 2nd.. a mage, that would have been considered "efficient" by that time... now it would be considered average... without dungeon leveling. People who are playing classic for the first time if they are not dungeon grinding will take a long time to get to 60 because they don't know the meta. You can't just play the game and get experience like later WoW.
Agreed still a hassle but i am dying 1/3 as much on my warr. Some of what he is saying is very true back then i used to prioritize yellow quests over greens and grind random mobs alot less
And to add to this, grab a couple of gathering professions as you level, they give you XP. It's easy to mine some ore, pick some flowers, or skin some mobs along the way as you are leveling.
@@owencarey3557 sagefish and nightfin restore health and mana, and give a mana per 5 second buff which is great for casters. I sell sagefish delight for about 10s a piece and they are easy to fish.
Yep, I'm really taking my time and enjoying the nostalgia of it. It's been 10+ years since I had a reason at all to be in these zones, and I'm having a ball with it.
Yeah bliz never gave you exp equivalent to the extra effort it takes to overcome harder mobs. When i started and was used to korean mmos where i would either solo 1 hard AF mob i had no right fighting was equal exp to 10 mobs at my level. Not so in warcraft.
Mobs can't dodge or parry ranged shots, and miss chance is lower than resist chance. So hunters are the one class for whom this "stay in the green zone" advice doesn't apply as strongly.
@@ingold1470 except the xp reward value of non-green mobs is not worth the cost of the extra ammo they burn to kill them. Remember a Hunter has 1 less bag slot (a problem at lower levels) and that ammunition cost (also a problem) and has to make sure to keep pet food on hand (more lost spots).
@@josephteller9715 Fair point, but ammo cost was rarely an issue for me because I macro'd all abilities that do not scale with ammo damage like Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting to use the cheapest ammo.

@August Coleman I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
ENJOY THE GAME, Do not worry about that guy power lvling. Stop and do professions, take the time to stop and go help a guildie. Once you get to 60, all the other stuff is useless. all the crafting is useless and you could have used those items or consumables to have fun playing. you are fucking yourself over by grinding to 60 as fast as you can. if you miss a quest objective in a dungeon? fuck it do it again later. These are the real lvling tips you should be giving.
Alexander Dooley Agreed! I mean I don’t agree with doing an instance just once. It may not be as efficient but I always loved instancing. It is my preferred method of levelling. Even if it is considered slower.
This. Do profs and enjoy being poor, having to make that decision as to which skill you can afford to upgrade is just one more thing to think about, and one more thing to look forward to getting. Beign able to get everything at once takes away a lot of purpose in the game.
@@LobsterFusion Ya always aim for one and done on Instances but if you cant get it or you wipe and group breaks up at the end remember there is more chance for gear and more fun.
Guys, i am warlock 60. Hit it on Sunday (1-2days ago). Cleared both raids in 1day & started farming bis at 58. I have litteraly nothing to do then just farm good to get epic & enchant gear. Im gonna level alt rn just because i realized leveling is THE fun. At 60 to get prebis/bis it takes 1 week. (Raid gear is luck). So my advice is have fun while lvling and dont rush, ur missing on absolutely nothing. On my lock ill be running same raids for another 4-5months, thats about it lol
@IHS um ya but I actually have a job. Between work and my gf I get maybe 5-8 hours a week to play. Someone like Mike can rack up the same time played I have since launch in 3/4 days
@IHS Where's the problem you seem to be implying? Obviously Preach is going to rack up more time than your average person, there's no problem in stating that. Most people don't have as much time to play as him, and this is coming from someone who is already level 60.
same here, but I came into WoW right off the back of playing Everquest, so I had their con system in mind where you didn't tend to mess with yellows/reds.
I’ve always thought Yellow was the sweet spot because its right in the middle. Grey: Dont even bother Green: Easy but negligible returns Yellow: balance of time to EXP ratio Orange: difficult without a group Red: do not attempt
But players actually playing endgame will go down. If you fall behind the wave of players it'll be difficult to get groups to attunements and other 60 lvl dungeons.
remember Classic had a philosphy to be a "light" version of the MMORPGS that came before namely at the time titles like Everquest and Shadowbane. WoW was supposed to be a super casual version of those games and now 15 years later its a super casual version of itself.
@IHS you misunderstood all of classic is easier than doing heroic Shivara, Classic lvling however is more arduous than retail but by no means is clssic raiding anything compared to retail classic raids arent even LFR by comparison. bosses with 1 mechanic per role to deal with. Classic lvling is more difficult than BFA lvling, BUT the difficulty in todays game isnt in the lvling its in purely endgame content M19+ any deep mythic raiding. and again vanilla at the time in 2004 was a more casual version of an MMORPG compared to EQ, SB. and todays game BFA lvling is more casual than classic was. that is wear the difficulty comparison ends as classic/vanilla is a literal decade behind in mechanical development. But no one would say classic lvling is easier than lvling 0-120 in retail, just like it would be hard to find someone who could rationally argue BFA has better class design than MoP, though even the most difficult raiding isnt in BFA it was Mythic Tomb in Legion.
@Sharnie Gujjar WRONG. Leveling is part of the experience. your facebook mobile game called "retail" is trash. It does not reward the player at all. When you get your first green in classic its rewarding. Now that camp of 2 wolves that was killing you, you can now take down because you got that weapon. You feel rewarded in wow from working hard at the game. in retail you get rewarded for logging on, AKA "Facebook mobile tier trash lootbox sim"
often on pvp someone that is 2 levels higher than you and your ded had a Mage tried to frost bolt me in the back he only did 36 damage a pop so I dotted him up and had him run in fear and presto he was dead all that with only 2 levels difference
Yes and no. On my s priest at 52 in vamilla I almost killed a rogue that was a shit geared 60 but i kept goin OOM.. 3 times got him below 10% hp and he got the jump on me. This is wpvp, not dueling.
It's taken me by surprise as well, I've had warriors 9 lvls above (I'm warr as well) jump on me and had some incredibly close outcomes, usually me dying but them living with 1/5 hp
Protip: WW axe isn't worth the time, get the 34 quest from Desolace to go into SM and go in there to either get the weapon from completing all 4 wings, or get ravager from Armory, the dps on those weapons outweighs the dps AND the str from WW axe, especially with all the work you have to put into getting it
@@pt9373 except the work you have to put in to getting ww axe is disproportionate to its power when it can be replaced at 34 by an axe you can get from the quest to complete all the bosses in SM
The green quest/mob thing is a lifesaver. I did Deadmines a few times to get Cruel Barb on my Rogue and ended up being a couple levels higher than I shoulda been to finish the quests I had before doing DM. When I went to do them, now green to me and with the Cruel Barb, I was absolutely destroying them in seconds with very little damage coming my way. Then once I got Riposte I was nearly one-shotting these green-level enemies if it procced. Hell, even Stealth is unnecessary with these mobs. Feels great to go to that when I've been having some SLIGHT struggles previously like two mobs being fairly dangerous, three being death, and fights taking quite a long time.
I had similar realizations when I wanted to increase my LW instead of doing quests (and outpacing my friends). 1. Just grinding raptors for leather and eggs gave me a ton of XP. 2. The raptors were a couple levels lower than me, so while they didn't give much per kill, the rate at which I was killing them was much faster than level appropriate mobs 3. Less downtime. In fact, NO downtime as well as better aggro from my hunter pet and less awkward melee to finish off the mobs.
This is what I’ve been trying to tell me friends, they keep wanting to push ahead to where the mobs are like 2-3 levels above us and it ends up in a lot of running back to bodies. I’m like lazy and would rather fight against mobs the same or closer to my level, that way if something pats by or the mob runs to get some friends you’re still okay to stay in combat rather than having to run away without even killing the initial mob and letting them all reset because then you have to do it all over again.
It's kinda funny. I've been subconsciously falling into this pattern throughout my time in-game. Started 8pm on Saturday(the 31st), and have only gotten three extended periods of playtime(about eight hours each) with the odd couple hours here and there. I just hit level 25 about an hour ago(Tuesday the 10th at about 2am). My total time played is 1day, 22hours, 10minutes. I am by no means a pro, and have never played on private servers. So, I do spend time just farting around and leveling professions. It sounds counter-intuitive, but Preach is absolutely right. And, it works.
I refuse to pay an additional subscription fee for Zygor, that's absolutely insane lol, I'd be glad to buy the guide but I'm not joining a monthly subscription for a static commodity lol
Yes agreed, I thought it was free add-on... Monthly fees are you are?? But don't worry there is good free alternative aap, azeroth auto pilot add-on. Same like zygor. Try it. & Thank me
Funny how I used to watch your build guides all the time years ago when I played and now you randomly appear in my suggested for the first time since. Classic seems to be doing wonders for the old warcraft legends
as much as its a grind it's also an incredible world and the slow pace grind and long slow walking travel makes you feel immersed. I much prefer this leveling to modern WOW despite the decreased variaty in quest types and disorganised routing
@@kharizma1734 My graphics look good. Im Super Sampling from 8k and using the nvidia control panel to run specific AA to eliminate the shimmering on foilage.
This is something super important that I realised around level 25 or so. Green quests give the same XP as yellow quests give the same XP as red quests. It's in your best interest to do green quests while they're within 5 levels of your current level. As soon as you're 6 levels higher, they turn grey. The rewards for some of those quests might be a bit crap but the speed at which you can do them vs yellow quests is absolutely insane. Mix these in with dungeon runs to keep your gear up to scratch.
@@TheAwesomeness1123 true, they give less xp, but if you're able to kill 2-3 for the same effort or so as a single yellow, then you're still ahead. After all, 80+80=160 > 100.
@@TheAwesomeness1123 Its about 5.5% difference in XP from green to yellow at lower levels i see. But you are clearing so much faster with greens so its going to add up way more + the quest gives the same XP as yellow.
Another thing to take into consideration is the population of your server and when you are playing. if the zones you need to go to to grind/quest are too full then going into a dungeon to farm it may be a better use of your time. :)
Handy bit of information that I think a lot of people forgot since their time in classic, a good refresher. Still, someone who plays wow professionally answering "how do you level so fast?" is pretty comical.
You're also using a premium leveling guide, Zygor guides which requires a paid subscription to use. I mean, let's not just completely ignore the paid leveling guide complete with in-game quest tracking, npc find and gps arrows. For some reason I think that might help you level fast, but I don't know.
What I’m basically doing is just playing the game and experimenting on my own while doing a bit of research for my first toon, then I’m just getting an add on that tells me what’s most efficient whenever I level an alt. That way I’ll experience the game but also learning what the best routes are or where all of these important quests are.
I played like a madman still only 55 but i enjoyed my time helped ma guild and going all over the world to finish long chains. Taking your time to pick every quest before doing a dungeon is worthwhile especially when the quest rewards are better than what can drop in said dungeon
A tip I'd also add for Melee guys, if you have an option to grind caster-mobs in a pool of enemies for drop quests etc. get on them. They are squishy as hell, have less hp and a simple interrupt will often mean they do nearly no damage to you.
Typically physical damage dealers want mages because they are squishy. Magic dealers like melee dealers because you can hit them 2-3 times, use some sort of root, than hit them another 2-3 times
Another great Vid Preach, I’m just about to pick up Classic (behind the time I know) My first toon was an undead lock back in vanilla....Greens were my go to as I didn’t feel confident with yellows so I’m on with that already lol. Looking forward to more classic content from you & enjoying my time in game as a casual BFA is hard work in terms of gearing and trying to stay current.
I do kinda dislike this mentally so many people have about classic leveling. Unless you got some important reason to get to 60 quickly, then don't rush it. Classic is just as much about the experience of leveling and personally at least some of the most fun I've had is trying to do mainly yellow and orange quests as while it may not be as efficient it is a lot more fun and satisfying when you pull it off as you actually have to use all the tools at your disposal, be in class abilities or consumables. I did top 100 raiding in retail so I know about doing stuff efficiently but honestly I am having way more fun just taking it slow in vanilla and using as little addons as possible(Only use atlasloot, auction faster and questie with all except available quests turned off. That said though your way of leveling Mike is one I can at least somewhat agree with(although I do think the auto pilot addons are really bad and should not be recommended to people) as you do quest and do the dungeons at least once. The worst thing is definitely the those that just spam dungeons over and over, like what exactly are you rushing to 60 for? To quickly do all the content so you can quit?
I do feel grateful my friends that showed me WoW really taught me a lot of this stacking quest is the most important part….. I have only played 1 character to 60 back in Wrath haven’t parlayed since. Just Started hardcore classic. Wow is truly a masterpiece. Video game version of the Mona Lisa or something
Preach, what add-on are you using and referring to when you say "The add-on is saying no don't do that, hold those quests, don't turn them in yet, just grind out this level."
Zygor is $8 a month, lmao. Come on now $8 a month for a wow addon? That's almost as much as Netflix. What an idiot dev. This is an advertisement. Don't fall for that shit... just listen to his tips and you'll be good to go
so, not fast just efficient. I noticed that too. was farming elite mobs but even though each is like 400+ xp solo The TtK is so long and the recovery before the next pull means that i could have got 2-4 times the same xp killing low xp mobs. and wouldnt have the same down time. combine their lower value drops and they end up being worth about the same profit value. Reminds me of a "killing boars to max level" comment.
if you're not ahead of the pack, getting the WW axe is well worth it. I skipped it because there was no chance i was gonna get help since i was ahead of everyone, but i'm already helping other guildies getting it.
Holla Orator Supreme. I am at the beginning of your video, but I want to answer how you leveled so fast. You figured it all out in BETA duh!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to a good watch as per the usual muih dude.
I have a very simple logic as a druid 1) cat form and chain quest running at druid high speed velocity and 2) kill and skin everything that is leather.
A personal tactic I choose as Warrior is with 1 quick offhand and mainhand with high dmg (don't care much about speed on it) This sparked arguments in my guild so even a member that is from APES joined in the discussion. But when it came down to me killing 3 mobbs 1 after the other since I have a overflow of rage and with food buff I have +22 spirit which gives a 3% hp tick /3?-5 seck. So I fight one lvl 36 mobb in STV on lvl 35 and get down to 90-86% left while the warrior with better gear and WW axe is left with 40 once he was done, but like I said by that time I ran to next one, self healed with spirit and wait for Charge in Battle Stance CD to go away. After like 5-7 continue kills I sit down and eat in shadowmeld (NE ofc) and wait for respawn's while I see horde running around and looking for the mobbs that I just "chainsaw" my self through. =) Infact I bought a full stack of lvl 25 food at lvl 25 and used it 4 times (during the Berserker qst since I didn't want to waste a potion) and that was on lvl 30.. Oh and get some Fury spec for the +crit and shout. Aim to get flurry before mortal strike would be my way. And DON'T buy food! take your time to lvl cooking and cook all stuff you get from beast's.. save your self money, and skill it for wellfed buff that is handy in overall I would say.
I really like your UI setup - clean and minimal. Could you give a list, or at least which unit / action bar / chat window / minimap you are using? Thanks!
Trick of leveling quickly for a warrior is very easy: go to an area slightly below your level (green), pick up all the quests from a node, go out and do them. Come back, turn all in , then pick the follow-ups, go do them, killing everything on the way and back. If you are down to 1-2 long winded quests, skip them, move to another area, like a virus ;). Get to other continent very early , level 5 , and do starter quests for other races as well. Skip all quests for dungeons , unless you level with a group. Skip all group quests, unless you can find nice people in the area that do them as well. Don't waste time. Pick herbalism or mining and skinning. Kill, skin, pick flowers, everywhere you go. Without even trying very hard, I leveled my 2nd warrior in 2006 or so in about 6 /played days.
Paying the price of a subscription for a guide on the top left? kill mobs between point A and B, grind out a level or 2 in your mid 20s and you'll be ahead of the questing curve all the way to 60 not including dungeons
@@qpSubZeroqp as Davi said already, you have to pay once 7$ download it and it will speed up a bit your leveling process. It is not fastest but who cares, it helps.
i remember the classic wow leveling always was fun with the people i knew, and even solo it was. in case u got stuck somehwere you totally enjoyed when people came to help u out. any other mmo game play experience after lets say wotlk was just an abysmal speedrun contest noone cared about those who wanted to go slow...it was the perfect resemblance of what society in general was driven by. til today.
Why would anyone want to lvl fast? Fist time wow classic should be enjoyed. You will never get this "first time to 60" experience again. Enjoy the moment, the Journey is the destination, it does not get more fun at lvl 60, its an illution.
3:20 "Moreso than in BfA..." Since they introduced zone/level scaling in Legion, I haven't even *seen* green-difficulty mobs. They scale them to yellow difficulty the entire time you level through those two expansions. I think that's terrible, as it takes away player choice, but also, reprograms people to think yellow is the only difficulty you should be fighting.
Eh, classes dont get their full tool kits for a very long time in BfA. Mages dont get blizzard or any AoE until 52. Rogues have 0 AoE until 64. Druids don't get an interrupt until 70 I believe.
The grinding mobs while moving thing is one of the few aspects of Warriors (and Shamans) that they really have as a boon in the early levels. Instant weapon attack once the swing timer is ready. A big 2-hander but no weapon skills? Hardly any penalty for killing while moving. Meanwhile if a Frost mage is doing stutter steps with their wands and chill effect, they're only going about 50% speed tops.

@@ingold1470 except the xp reward value of non-green mobs is not worth the cost of the extra ammo they burn to kill them. Remember a Hunter has 1 less bag slot (a problem at lower levels) and that ammunition cost (also a problem) and has to make sure to keep pet food on hand (more lost spots).
@@josephteller9715 Fair point, but ammo cost was rarely an issue for me because I macro'd all abilities that do not scale with ammo damage like Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting to use the cheapest ammo.
This is great. Thank you.
you prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Landry Zaid Instablaster :)
@August Coleman I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@August Coleman it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Landry Zaid no problem :)
ENJOY THE GAME, Do not worry about that guy power lvling. Stop and do professions, take the time to stop and go help a guildie. Once you get to 60, all the other stuff is useless. all the crafting is useless and you could have used those items or consumables to have fun playing. you are fucking yourself over by grinding to 60 as fast as you can. if you miss a quest objective in a dungeon? fuck it do it again later. These are the real lvling tips you should be giving.
Alexander Dooley Agreed! I mean I don’t agree with doing an instance just once. It may not be as efficient but I always loved instancing. It is my preferred method of levelling. Even if it is considered slower.
This. Do profs and enjoy being poor, having to make that decision as to which skill you can afford to upgrade is just one more thing to think about, and one more thing to look forward to getting. Beign able to get everything at once takes away a lot of purpose in the game.
@@LobsterFusion Ya always aim for one and done on Instances but if you cant get it or you wipe and group breaks up at the end remember there is more chance for gear and more fun.
Guys, i am warlock 60. Hit it on Sunday (1-2days ago). Cleared both raids in 1day & started farming bis at 58. I have litteraly nothing to do then just farm good to get epic & enchant gear. Im gonna level alt rn just because i realized leveling is THE fun. At 60 to get prebis/bis it takes 1 week. (Raid gear is luck). So my advice is have fun while lvling and dont rush, ur missing on absolutely nothing. On my lock ill be running same raids for another 4-5months, thats about it lol
Or you could stop telling people how they should enjoy the game lmao. Different strokes for different people
Its simple, mikes job is playing wow lmao
@IHS um ya but I actually have a job. Between work and my gf I get maybe 5-8 hours a week to play. Someone like Mike can rack up the same time played I have since launch in 3/4 days
???????
@IHS Where's the problem you seem to be implying? Obviously Preach is going to rack up more time than your average person, there's no problem in stating that. Most people don't have as much time to play as him, and this is coming from someone who is already level 60.
I've always thought green = good, yellow = meh, red = don't even try for mobs
same here, but I came into WoW right off the back of playing Everquest, so I had their con system in mind where you didn't tend to mess with yellows/reds.
I’ve always thought Yellow was the sweet spot because its right in the middle.
Grey: Dont even bother
Green: Easy but negligible returns
Yellow: balance of time to EXP ratio
Orange: difficult without a group
Red: do not attempt
@I'm Out Goddamn you hunters!
to me its more like : green=easy , yellow=normal , orange=hard , red=dont even try unless in a group
Unless you play BFA where all colours = easy
The puzzle to leveling in classic WoW has been solved for over 10 years.
Zygor is the leveling addon Preach is using, for those of you who checked comments before looking at his video such as myself =D
You are spot on with the green quest I really just found this out myself and I’m lvl 46 lol
Well then you're just above halfway. a good time to discover it
“If it’s green, get it in there!” Haha great vid
My advice is, DONT RUSH end game is going nowhere. Take your time and enjoy the game.
Snooze00 well said!
But players actually playing endgame will go down. If you fall behind the wave of players it'll be difficult to get groups to attunements and other 60 lvl dungeons.
You mean, the same shit everyone has been saying for the past 15+ years?
@@AshyView24 nah cause most endgame content stays relevant for the lifespan of the game.
This.
remember Classic had a philosphy to be a "light" version of the MMORPGS that came before namely at the time titles like Everquest and Shadowbane. WoW was supposed to be a super casual version of those games and now 15 years later its a super casual version of itself.
@Sharnie Gujjar I play classic while also raiding mythic retail the hell you talking about.
@IHS you misunderstood all of classic is easier than doing heroic Shivara, Classic lvling however is more arduous than retail but by no means is clssic raiding anything compared to retail classic raids arent even LFR by comparison. bosses with 1 mechanic per role to deal with.
Classic lvling is more difficult than BFA lvling, BUT the difficulty in todays game isnt in the lvling its in purely endgame content M19+ any deep mythic raiding.
and again vanilla at the time in 2004 was a more casual version of an MMORPG compared to EQ, SB. and todays game BFA lvling is more casual than classic was. that is wear the difficulty comparison ends as classic/vanilla is a literal decade behind in mechanical development. But no one would say classic lvling is easier than lvling 0-120 in retail, just like it would be hard to find someone who could rationally argue BFA has better class design than MoP, though even the most difficult raiding isnt in BFA it was Mythic Tomb in Legion.
@IHS actually under 3 hours since leveling time has nothing to do with raid difficulty
@Sharnie Gujjar WRONG. Leveling is part of the experience. your facebook mobile game called "retail" is trash. It does not reward the player at all. When you get your first green in classic its rewarding. Now that camp of 2 wolves that was killing you, you can now take down because you got that weapon. You feel rewarded in wow from working hard at the game. in retail you get rewarded for logging on, AKA "Facebook mobile tier trash lootbox sim"
@Sharnie Gujjar kid ur dumb lol
People totally underestimate level difference in classic.
often on pvp someone that is 2 levels higher than you and your ded
had a Mage tried to frost bolt me in the back he only did 36 damage a pop
so I dotted him up and had him run in fear and presto he was dead all that with only 2 levels difference
Make White Babies I mean lock crushes mage though
Yes and no. On my s priest at 52 in vamilla I almost killed a rogue that was a shit geared 60 but i kept goin OOM.. 3 times got him below 10% hp and he got the jump on me. This is wpvp, not dueling.
It's taken me by surprise as well, I've had warriors 9 lvls above (I'm warr as well) jump on me and had some incredibly close outcomes, usually me dying but them living with 1/5 hp
Never disappointed with your videos, even if it’s information I might already know I still greatly enjoy watching!
Solo grinded on my mage, and let me tell you, leveling my warrior has definitely turned me to green mobs...
Protip: WW axe isn't worth the time, get the 34 quest from Desolace to go into SM and go in there to either get the weapon from completing all 4 wings, or get ravager from Armory, the dps on those weapons outweighs the dps AND the str from WW axe, especially with all the work you have to put into getting it
@@jslaughter95 not that pro of a tip when u can have whirlwind axe at 30, and cant use ravager until 37
@@pt9373 except the work you have to put in to getting ww axe is disproportionate to its power when it can be replaced at 34 by an axe you can get from the quest to complete all the bosses in SM
@@jslaughter95 takes like 2hrs,i agree still the best optipn ww axe .
The green quest/mob thing is a lifesaver. I did Deadmines a few times to get Cruel Barb on my Rogue and ended up being a couple levels higher than I shoulda been to finish the quests I had before doing DM. When I went to do them, now green to me and with the Cruel Barb, I was absolutely destroying them in seconds with very little damage coming my way. Then once I got Riposte I was nearly one-shotting these green-level enemies if it procced. Hell, even Stealth is unnecessary with these mobs.
Feels great to go to that when I've been having some SLIGHT struggles previously like two mobs being fairly dangerous, three being death, and fights taking quite a long time.
Can we really listen to this guy. It took him 20 mins to get the elevator
Lil
Been viewing you since BC & Your advice has always worked for me. Gonna give this a go!
I had similar realizations when I wanted to increase my LW instead of doing quests (and outpacing my friends).
1. Just grinding raptors for leather and eggs gave me a ton of XP.
2. The raptors were a couple levels lower than me, so while they didn't give much per kill, the rate at which I was killing them was much faster than level appropriate mobs
3. Less downtime. In fact, NO downtime as well as better aggro from my hunter pet and less awkward melee to finish off the mobs.
Same for me, grinded boars at Loch Modan (LW) for 2 whole levels and 140+ skill
A big ADDON I love is GW2UI , it gives a fresh and optimized look to the UI of classic.
This is what I’ve been trying to tell me friends, they keep wanting to push ahead to where the mobs are like 2-3 levels above us and it ends up in a lot of running back to bodies. I’m like lazy and would rather fight against mobs the same or closer to my level, that way if something pats by or the mob runs to get some friends you’re still okay to stay in combat rather than having to run away without even killing the initial mob and letting them all reset because then you have to do it all over again.
It's kinda funny. I've been subconsciously falling into this pattern throughout my time in-game. Started 8pm on Saturday(the 31st), and have only gotten three extended periods of playtime(about eight hours each) with the odd couple hours here and there. I just hit level 25 about an hour ago(Tuesday the 10th at about 2am). My total time played is 1day, 22hours, 10minutes. I am by no means a pro, and have never played on private servers. So, I do spend time just farting around and leveling professions. It sounds counter-intuitive, but Preach is absolutely right. And, it works.
I refuse to pay an additional subscription fee for Zygor, that's absolutely insane lol, I'd be glad to buy the guide but I'm not joining a monthly subscription for a static commodity lol
Yes agreed, I thought it was free add-on... Monthly fees are you are?? But don't worry there is good free alternative aap, azeroth auto pilot add-on. Same like zygor. Try it. & Thank me
Don't buy it then get it off pirate bay lool
only braindead losers need addons like that! thats you guys!
Google legacy wow leveling guide. It's one of the oldest and free guide also the best. You're welcome.
Funny how I used to watch your build guides all the time years ago when I played and now you randomly appear in my suggested for the first time since. Classic seems to be doing wonders for the old warcraft legends
as much as its a grind it's also an incredible world and the slow pace grind and long slow walking travel makes you feel immersed. I much prefer this leveling to modern WOW despite the decreased variaty in quest types and disorganised routing
Nick Shame they didn't up the graphics to make it truly jaw dropping but kept the mechanics and the experience the same but in hd imo
@@kharizma1734 My graphics look good. Im Super Sampling from 8k and using the nvidia control panel to run specific AA to eliminate the shimmering on foilage.
So I’ve been doing the opposite of everything you suggested and that’s why I’ve been a bit frustrated. Thank you for the advice.
Me too. I hope I can feel less upset now knowing this.
Good luck out there bro.
noticed on Wowhead the green quests give the same XP as a yellow quest
This is something super important that I realised around level 25 or so. Green quests give the same XP as yellow quests give the same XP as red quests. It's in your best interest to do green quests while they're within 5 levels of your current level. As soon as you're 6 levels higher, they turn grey. The rewards for some of those quests might be a bit crap but the speed at which you can do them vs yellow quests is absolutely insane. Mix these in with dungeon runs to keep your gear up to scratch.
Important to note enemies do give reduced xp when they’re green though so if it’s a kill quest you are getting less
@@TheAwesomeness1123 true, they give less xp, but if you're able to kill 2-3 for the same effort or so as a single yellow, then you're still ahead.
After all, 80+80=160 > 100.
@@TheAwesomeness1123 Its about 5.5% difference in XP from green to yellow at lower levels i see. But you are clearing so much faster with greens so its going to add up way more + the quest gives the same XP as yellow.
it's more than 20%...
Another thing to take into consideration is the population of your server and when you are playing. if the zones you need to go to to grind/quest are too full then going into a dungeon to farm it may be a better use of your time. :)
@Preach Grats to you for not joining this SM farm madness :)
Handy bit of information that I think a lot of people forgot since their time in classic, a good refresher.
Still, someone who plays wow professionally answering "how do you level so fast?" is pretty comical.
Green means go!
Go through the bush, not around it! Crush all before you!
Dungeon with quests? Get in there!
Thankyou for your time and making this
You're also using a premium leveling guide, Zygor guides which requires a paid subscription to use. I mean, let's not just completely ignore the paid leveling guide complete with in-game quest tracking, npc find and gps arrows. For some reason I think that might help you level fast, but I don't know.
XXI Grams I paid for that crap, total waste of money and not optimised. I’m using a free add on instead.
@@paddy8046 which one are you using, mind sharing please?
Patrick Webster you use guidelime?
AMBC Guidelime
Ging Freecss thanks couldn’t remember the name
What I’m basically doing is just playing the game and experimenting on my own while doing a bit of research for my first toon, then I’m just getting an add on that tells me what’s most efficient whenever I level an alt. That way I’ll experience the game but also learning what the best routes are or where all of these important quests are.
I played like a madman still only 55 but i enjoyed my time helped ma guild and going all over the world to finish long chains.
Taking your time to pick every quest before doing a dungeon is worthwhile especially when the quest rewards are better than what can drop in said dungeon
"im not levelling super fast, and this is how im doing it"
Don't worry guys, he neither does green quests nor grind mobs on his way to the next quest on streams. Keep focusing on yellow quests
A tip I'd also add for Melee guys, if you have an option to grind caster-mobs in a pool of enemies for drop quests etc. get on them. They are squishy as hell, have less hp and a simple interrupt will often mean they do nearly no damage to you.
It also works for hunter, since they do physical damage, and you can interrupt with scatter shot, and feign death.
Typically physical damage dealers want mages because they are squishy. Magic dealers like melee dealers because you can hit them 2-3 times, use some sort of root, than hit them another 2-3 times
How to level fast?
Play a lot.
Another great Vid Preach, I’m just about to pick up Classic (behind the time I know) My first toon was an undead lock back in vanilla....Greens were my go to as I didn’t feel confident with yellows so I’m on with that already lol.
Looking forward to more classic content from you & enjoying my time in game as a casual BFA is hard work in terms of gearing and trying to stay current.
I do kinda dislike this mentally so many people have about classic leveling. Unless you got some important reason to get to 60 quickly, then don't rush it. Classic is just as much about the experience of leveling and personally at least some of the most fun I've had is trying to do mainly yellow and orange quests as while it may not be as efficient it is a lot more fun and satisfying when you pull it off as you actually have to use all the tools at your disposal, be in class abilities or consumables.
I did top 100 raiding in retail so I know about doing stuff efficiently but honestly I am having way more fun just taking it slow in vanilla and using as little addons as possible(Only use atlasloot, auction faster and questie with all except available quests turned off.
That said though your way of leveling Mike is one I can at least somewhat agree with(although I do think the auto pilot addons are really bad and should not be recommended to people) as you do quest and do the dungeons at least once. The worst thing is definitely the those that just spam dungeons over and over, like what exactly are you rushing to 60 for? To quickly do all the content so you can quit?
The point about green mobs makes sense. I always thought kill yellows was optimal. I'll apply this asap. As well as the "kill everything" tip.
You never fight green mobs in BFA because it all scales
I do feel grateful my friends that showed me WoW really taught me a lot of this stacking quest is the most important part….. I have only played 1 character to 60 back in Wrath haven’t parlayed since. Just Started hardcore classic. Wow is truly a masterpiece. Video game version of the Mona Lisa or something
Preach, what add-on are you using and referring to when you say "The add-on is saying no don't do that, hold those quests, don't turn them in yet, just grind out this level."
Zygor......it's literally on his screen
@@Darklighter75 Thanks. Looks like the video title in full screen mode was blocking the Zygor text.
Zygor is $8 a month, lmao. Come on now $8 a month for a wow addon? That's almost as much as Netflix. What an idiot dev. This is an advertisement. Don't fall for that shit... just listen to his tips and you'll be good to go
@@idk8964 I eventually started thinking the same. I've also seen Guidelime, which intrigues me, and that I believe is free.
If you're just going to follow the orders of an addon, you might as well be a robot.
so, not fast just efficient.
I noticed that too.
was farming elite mobs but even though each is like 400+ xp solo The TtK is so long and the recovery before the next pull means that i could have got 2-4 times the same xp killing low xp mobs. and wouldnt have the same down time. combine their lower value drops and they end up being worth about the same profit value.
Reminds me of a "killing boars to max level" comment.
And remember to say DING! Its super important
Whirlwind axe at lvl 30 instead of 40... classic experience XD
I helped out my buddy to get his at 32. I was 41, myself. It's not too rare to have higher level friends who can help you out.
if you're not ahead of the pack, getting the WW axe is well worth it. I skipped it because there was no chance i was gonna get help since i was ahead of everyone, but i'm already helping other guildies getting it.
finally someone with tips i can understand, great video!
my friends wonder how i level so fast, little do they know, I quit my job for classic wow
It’s lonely at the top. 360 quick scoping everyone else
Great advice Preach. The other thing I’d say is knowledge really is power in Classic, especially in PvE
What questing addon are you using/would recommend?
Holla Orator Supreme. I am at the beginning of your video, but I want to answer how you leveled so fast. You figured it all out in BETA duh!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to a good watch as per the usual muih dude.
hey thank god for that original experience with WoW classic 😂🤣😅
I have a very simple logic as a druid 1) cat form and chain quest running at druid high speed velocity and 2) kill and skin everything that is leather.
An even better tip! Stop wasting your time with streamers and experience the game. Its better to do 30h more to get 60 than to watch tips to do stuff.
A personal tactic I choose as Warrior is with 1 quick offhand and mainhand with high dmg (don't care much about speed on it)
This sparked arguments in my guild so even a member that is from APES joined in the discussion.
But when it came down to me killing 3 mobbs 1 after the other since I have a overflow of rage and with food buff I have +22 spirit which gives a 3% hp tick /3?-5 seck. So I fight one lvl 36 mobb in STV on lvl 35 and get down to 90-86% left while the warrior with better gear and WW axe is left with 40 once he was done, but like I said by that time I ran to next one, self healed with spirit and wait for Charge in Battle Stance CD to go away.
After like 5-7 continue kills I sit down and eat in shadowmeld (NE ofc) and wait for respawn's while I see horde running around and looking for the mobbs that I just "chainsaw" my self through. =)
Infact I bought a full stack of lvl 25 food at lvl 25 and used it 4 times (during the Berserker qst since I didn't want to waste a potion) and that was on lvl 30..
Oh and get some Fury spec for the +crit and shout. Aim to get flurry before mortal strike would be my way.
And DON'T buy food! take your time to lvl cooking and cook all stuff you get from beast's.. save your self money, and skill it for wellfed buff that is handy in overall I would say.
The part about slow mainhand and quick offhand has been meta for any class that dual wields since the start of wow nothing new btw.
@@simkont6793 when ppl run around and say that WW is better and argue.. it's kinda new since many of those retailers have 1 way of thinking.
I really like your UI setup - clean and minimal. Could you give a list, or at least which unit / action bar / chat window / minimap you are using?
Thanks!
ELVUI
Most importantly, everyone: have fun. It's a game, don't turn it into a job.
was the addon arguing with you why not to turn them in?
i would like to know the answer to that question as well
Trick of leveling quickly for a warrior is very easy: go to an area slightly below your level (green), pick up all the quests from a node, go out and do them. Come back, turn all in , then pick the follow-ups, go do them, killing everything on the way and back. If you are down to 1-2 long winded quests, skip them, move to another area, like a virus ;).
Get to other continent very early , level 5 , and do starter quests for other races as well. Skip all quests for dungeons , unless you level with a group. Skip all group quests, unless you can find nice people in the area that do them as well.
Don't waste time. Pick herbalism or mining and skinning. Kill, skin, pick flowers, everywhere you go.
Without even trying very hard, I leveled my 2nd warrior in 2006 or so in about 6 /played days.
Zamolxes77 I’m finding this now - getting rage when fighting easy mobs is really easy, you end up chainsawing through them
Paying the price of a subscription for a guide on the top left?
kill mobs between point A and B, grind out a level or 2 in your mid 20s and you'll be ahead of the questing curve all the way to 60 not including dungeons
u get it free,really easy.

Why would anyone want to lvl fast? Fist time wow classic should be enjoyed. You will never get this "first time to 60" experience again. Enjoy the moment, the Journey is the destination, it does not get more fun at lvl 60, its an illution.

Ok... I'm just enjoining the game, I love that there are no real quest hubs.
3:20 "Moreso than in BfA..." Since they introduced zone/level scaling in Legion, I haven't even *seen* green-difficulty mobs. They scale them to yellow difficulty the entire time you level through those two expansions. I think that's terrible, as it takes away player choice, but also, reprograms people to think yellow is the only difficulty you should be fighting.
And most importantly..
Dont mindlessly rush to 60. Leveling and exploring is the majority of the Vanilla experience.
Always be doing sometime as your character sits forever next to an elevator
"Why You Level So Fast?" ... "I have no Work" ... Oh
Preach. I'd like that battle shout add-on that you have.
Eh, classes dont get their full tool kits for a very long time in BfA. Mages dont get blizzard or any AoE until 52. Rogues have 0 AoE until 64. Druids don't get an interrupt until 70 I believe.
Arcane mages get AE at 18.
You are great, Preach.
in BFA the mobs are always yellow because they scale
The grinding mobs while moving thing is one of the few aspects of Warriors (and Shamans) that they really have as a boon in the early levels. Instant weapon attack once the swing timer is ready.
A big 2-hander but no weapon skills? Hardly any penalty for killing while moving. Meanwhile if a Frost mage is doing stutter steps with their wands and chill effect, they're only going about 50% speed tops.
What is the name of your lvl addon/guide that you talked about?
