World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (WoW WotLK) has now been released, and lots of people are already playing it! There are new zones, death knight, new battle grounds and 10 new levels to pound your way through.

What’s the best and fastest way in leveling from 70-80?
The fastest way to level up is through doing quests, and the challenge is to find the fastest way to do most of the quest in the least possible amount of time. This means that getting and finding the fastest route available. This is a fair playing ground for all players to be in the same playing field. But because of beta servers, there are lots of warcraft players that were able to experience WoW WotLK ahead of the rest. They have an edge in being familiar with the new zones, new dungeons, and many more. Those who get to the cap of 80 quickly will find themselves alone in the end instance and type raids, and they will be reaping all the rewards. But for those who will experience 70-80 for the first time will probably grind their way to that cap of 80.

Now there are those people who are in beta who mapped out the new quests, battled through the 10 levels in order to discover what to do, keep notes on their routes, then help others on quests on the expansion. And some of them have released their own guides to help improve the game.

What will this do for your leveling from 70-80?
This will mean that you will have a reference for the quests, you will have someone who will share their knowledge and familiarity of WoW WotLK through the beta, and share their idea on how to get to level 70-80 in the least possible amount of time.

Leveling in Wrath of the Lich King will now be easy for two groups :
1. Those who were included in the beta and were familiar with the Northrend area and death knights, as well as the professions, quests, and many more.
2. Those that receive help from those who were included in the beta to level the playing field.

Do you want to get left behind, or always be one step ahead of everyone else in WoW WotLK?

I would highly recommend Dugi’s Leveling Guide

Check it out! There some great vids to show you what they offer.

Personally, I’m not a fan of game guides. I don’t think they do much other than ruin the content for you before you get there. So, I was surprised when I discovered that WotLK Secrets was anything but a big spoiler filled, fluff ridden guide that didn’t do much other than make the game less fun. Think of it more like a GPS device on a road trip. It gives you directions and guidance when you ask it to without telling you everything you’re about to see.

To start with, the guide covers all the basic aspects of the game’s new content. You will learn how to start a Death Knight, how to master Inscription, what you will face in all the new raids, all the new glyphs you have access to, ins and outs of the new achievement system, the changes to your classes, and whole lot more really nifty, really useful new details.

If you need things like raid specific strategies such as how to take on Malygos in his second or third form, the info is here for you. If you need to know what the best level 40 Glyph is for your Druid, you can look it up right here. It’s really been an invaluable resource for me as I’ve leveled and that’s saying a lot from someone who doesn’t usually like guides very much.

With the updates released for World of Warcraft in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and its updates, the dynamics of player vs player combat have changed once again. With the new rules, its becoming increasingly popular to create highly specialized protection Paladins. If you want to avoid being another speed bump on the battlefield of your PVP server should you too invest the talent points required for deep specialization in the protection tree? Well, that depends on your playing style, but some of the new builds circulating seem to make this a choice worth making.

Obviously these builds are designed to rely heavily on the Protection tree of Paladin specialization. While the preferred PVP set up for paladins in the past relied on Holy and Retribution, this is an all new set up that when used correctly can let the Paladin absorb massive amounts of damage while still hammering away on his enemy. If you can’t absorb the high damage hits that are so common in PVP conflicts, you’ll be regretting lost time spent lying on your toon’s dead back. The whole point in wearing plate armor is to take punishment – and the protection tree when fully developed can give a paladin a host of abilities that let you take tons of damage and still not fall.

This set up works because you wind up using abilities like Guarded by the Light and Touched by the Light to generate large amounts of mana and critical heals. It also opens up the possibility of such buffs and defensive techniques as Divine Sacrifice, Sacred Shield. Combine that with abilities like Hammer of Justice for quick mob stuns, and Avenger’s Shield leaving multiple mobs dazed at range and it’s easy to see how developing the protection specialization tree can unlock some real potential for the paladin class.

If you’re tired of being slaughtered on the fields of Azeroth by the opposing faction, you should seriously consider developing a PVP Protection Paladin. For more advice on doing this, or anything else in World of Warcraft, go see Paladin leveling guide. They’ve got comprehensive guides to help any gamer pick themselves up off the ground.

Leveling in Northrend will be the next hurdle every World of Warcraft player will have to get over. With a whole new world available it will be interesting to see just how effective we’ll all be at it. While many of our community have already had a first crack at Northrend because of the beta server many of us have not. That being said it’s safe to expect a few people to catapult themselves to 80, having had some exposure to WOTLK, knowing the lay of Northrend and yes even the quests. Those who manage to level from 70-80 quickly will find themselves alone in the end game type raids and instance reaping all the rewards and leaving many behind in the dust, while those who are going to be experiencing leveling from 70-80 for the first time will most likely have to grind there way to level 80. The question on many peoples’ minds is, “How can I level from 70-80 the fastest?”

The answer is actually quite simple. Get yourself a Warcraft Leveling Guide or Guides.
There were those people in the beta release who were there to have fun and scope out the new toys and gear. Then there were those people who, for the good of us all, mapped out the new quests, battled through the 10 levels from 70-80 to discover what to do and to help others on quests in teh new WOTLK expansion.

Four groups in particular have poised themselves as the leaders in the field of leveling guides and specifically in the field of WOTLK leveling guides. Zygor Guides, iDemise, Joana’s World and Dugi’s leveling guides are all slated to come out with releases/updated for the expansion pack the day it hits the shelves.

What does this mean for your leveling from 70-80?

This means that not only do you have someone on the inside who’s gone through and provided notes on quests and the fastest ways to level from 70-80, you actually have several teams that have incorporated them into already successful leveling guides.
All four guides are well established in the World of Warcraft community and have only solidified their places with the near instant updates for WOTLK.

Leveling in WOTLK will now be a breeze for two groups of people:
1. Those that had exposure to the beta servers and know the new Northrend area as well as the quests; and,
2. Those that get their own WOTLK leveling guide to level the playing field.

Alas, those who do not will eventually level from 70-80, but perhaps weeks after the first surge of people have already hit the magical level 80.
Those are the groups you can fall into, I know which one I’m in (2).

We’ll have to see just how long the next 10 levels take to achieve, but if the old 60-70 leveling is any indication; we’re talking weeks if not months.

Best of luck to you, see you in Northrend.
