The War Within Day 1 | Skyriding, Professions, Delves & More! 

For anyone wondering, if you run through and do only the campaign quests and save dungeons and delves for later you will run out of campaign quests at level 75 or so and your next campaign quest will require level 80. So side, quests and dungeons and delves while leveling are definitely the best way to go so that when you reach the level 80 quest in the campaign, you are able to pick it up. Just stay busy and do a little of everything during the leveling process. I was only at level 76 just blowing through the campaign and that was with dungeons and delves, but I had only done a few and had done zero side quests. I maybe did four different dungeons and six or seven delves. I honestly prefer those to side questing.

Pro strat for levelling... Only do the campaign quests for the first 2 zones. Do not pick up side quests. Pick up the delve quests but do not do the delve or complete the quest (the xp they give scales on level). 3rd zone, only do campaign quests, however pick up all side quests. Once your campaign quest tells you to go from zone 3 to 4, go back and do all of the side quests in zone 3 in a single swoop. This will make you level 76-77. Then do all delves + delve quests you've been saving. This will put you at 78+. Then go to last zone and do everything. This is the fastest way to level, AND you skip all of the questing traffic jams (and potential lag spikes) in the first 2 zones on launch day. This strategy is what all of the speed runners are doing, and getting around 5-6 hours to hit 80. Enjoy!

Day 1: Do main story quests, delves, and some side quests. Delves will give Brann XP, making him more powerful. You can only do tier1-3 delves while leveling, so take advantage of the XP for both your first character and Brann. You also absolutely need side quests. Otherwise you’ll be 75-76 in Azj-Kahet, with mobs at 78-80, and quests in previous zones will be green. Don’t make this painful mistake. You also must complete the main story up to chapter 3 in the last zone. This should put you at renown 4 with all factions, and you’ll be able to unlock steady flight. This is when you also get to skip all the intro quests for alts. You can port straight to Dornogal and get weekly leveling quests to do various activities: world quests, snuffling, etc. These give XP and rep. You’ll also have the Dornogal port to the Weaver’s Lair unlocked for ypur alts, who can head down there at 70, making travel much easier.

Oh thank God! With all the data datamined stuff out there, this was the first video that showed what to expect when hitting the ground in the new expansion. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

WOW 😉👍 Just watched it and looking forward to be at the beach tomorrow! A lot of input but gives me a great idea what to expect! Thank you so much for the time and effort to set up this informative video!

Great video! I appreciate your time and trouble sharing this info.

EXCELLENT laydown! Thank you very much! I shared your video with the two guilds I’m in and with my son who shared with his mythic raiding guild!

Thanks for doing the leg work and making an informative, to-the-point video!

Heroic dungeons wont be active during early access just a heads up, so from the 22nd to the 26th its just normals

altaholics. remember max lvl will give an 5% XP boost for your alts per 80 (maxing at 25%). so push 80 before lvling another alt for more XP.

Great job!!! This was very informative and helpful!

Very helpful video! Lots of info I was looking for.

would love to have steadyflying on day 1, asap, as I find it so much better for leveling and being able to hover over areas, mobs, things, etc. Problem is theyve tied it to completing the full campaign and exploring all zones.

Historically queueing for Heroic Dungeon was only available at max level, after achieving a minimum iLvl. In TWW, queueing for Heroic Dungeons is going to be locked until Normal/Heroic Raid unlocks. This is because of the changes they've made to dungeon heroic/mythic0/mythic+ difficulty and their increased rewards. Not being able to queue for Normal Dungeons is weird though.

One thing to point out you do want to get to to spider zone to get the faction rep unlock between the three factions there are the nerubian queen memory events give a good amount of xp for alts as well as the city looks like its going to be grind zone not a big as the cobalt academy ring but yeah

I was just playing the beta you are exactly right so those delves remember while your leveling it only 1-3..once you hit max level it from 4-11..and you get weekly vault rewards too..(I did two side quests and the scripting is hilarious).... dornagol is a big city..and you will be surprised at what you get for doing stuff that gives you achievements..

Great videos as always Zucco. Keep up dude. I always search for your videos when i want to know how shammy and hunter are doing.

I think Valdraken was an awesome idea,it was better than Dalaran, as it kept you more involved with players and the warcraft world around you, didnt isolate you like garrisons and to some degree stormwind and orgrimar

2 Things: From what I've seen and heard Blizz is giving the "Have to get to max level ASAP" people a path to do that thru the main questline. The main quest is simple and streamlined. For those that want more lore and story, there are side quest to fill in the blanks and complete the story of TWW. Is this accurate? The Delves, are they solo only content (you and the follower only) or do they scale to more people? Also id you can and do have say like 3 people in your group doing a delve, do each of us still get a follower so we can power them up or do the followers deactivate if there are more than one person doing the delve?

Nice bro good content

from my experience you want to just do the campaign quests, lvl 1 delves with the delvequests. else you still have to do campaignquests as lvl 80. testing was done with 408 gear, so you will disintegrate all mobs, even with the 480 eventgear. for all lvl 80s you have you get accountbound +5% exp up to lvl 80, up to your 5th character, so that is +25 % exp on your 6th character if you are planning on having lots of alts. on that topic don't forget to log in to your alts to start rested status

awsome content as always

Really great video. Really hyped about all of this. Nice to hear that delves are good. I will rush them with 1-2 friends then. Do you have any addon suggestions for leveling? I was thinking about hekili and some questing addon

Could you pls check if we can buy DF PvP gear for Marks of Honor in Valdrakken?

ok, i was hoping that it would be quick getting my characters migrated from Val to Dorn, good to know.

Leveling Brann in Delves should be account wide right? So when I return with second character my Brann should already start a little stronger. Or am I wrong?

My plan is to just do story, then each delv, then each dungeon. Im sure ill be well above max level by then.

HYPEEE!!!

so doing delves will improve the leveling progress?!

Thanks for the video! Quick question, where is the new fountain or pillar we will be running around aimlessly in the new capital?

what professions do you recommend for first character? gathering for gold? or just work on hitting level 80 and finishing the story first?

So basically scenarios = "delves"?

Thanks for making this video but I’m gonna try something new this expansion. I’ll skip watching this and will go in blindly to see if it’ll be more fun that way instead of min maxing everything.

Can we do the delve quest with a group or its solo?

Is lvl 70 max now? I clear half of first 10-70 map and almost lvl 70.... this go waaay to fast if 70 is max.. i dont understand so much it feels like am new player after playing classic

Can you do delves in groups of two or three? Also Brann can’t tank?

So let me get this straight,, you get *less* experience? I wasn't picking that up

you dont need the campagin to unlock worldquests etc.?

So renown and reputation are separate? How does that work?

great guide. also 6:59 "how quickly blizzard's willing getting things online for you" oh, what's that, you didn't buy the epic edition? you'll have to wait 3 days to play, buddy.

So I'm wondering, about how many game time hours did it take for you to get to 77?

I feel validated for switching over to LOTRO
