There are a range of ways you can level your characters faster in WoW. In this article I am going to reveal 2 ways to level faster. These are both basic techniques but both are overlooked far too often.

1. Set Your Inn/Hearth Location to either Shattrath or Dalaran

At the time the Burning Crusade expansion pack was released, a useful addition was made. Portals in Shattrath city link to all other major cities.

What this means is that by setting your Hearthstone to Shattrath or Dalaran you can get to other important cities by simply clicking on the portal of the place you want to go.

In Shattrath there are 2 different places you can set your Hearthstone - this confuses things a little as it’s not so obvious as in Dalaran where you have the inn’s.

1. Aldor Rise

2. Scryers Tier

If you ask a guard they will be able to tell you the general direction to the inn. If you press the “M” key you’ll also be able to see where they are. If you want you can take the lift up to where you want to head. Scryers Tier is due South while Aldors Rise is West.

When you come to go down the lift, you can actually jump right off it and you wont die. You’ll only die if your character is extremely weak or has low quality gear.

If you’re not yet a level 74, you’ll need to get a Mage to open the portal for you. This usually isn’t too hard to do in most cities - you might just need to flick the made a little gold to cover the cost of the reagent they will need to use to port you.

2. Get a new in-game Leveling Add-on

A few cool leveling add-ons have been created in the past 6 months. What these do is show you in game exactly where you need to go and what you need to do for each quest. It saves you a lot of time spent wandering around - these patches really are amazing.

If you want to double your leveling time, I highly recommend you try one of these add-ons. They halved my leveling time and make things so much quicker and easier in general.
