World of Warcraft

I’ve still been working my way through Jame’s leveling guide, and my human priest is now level 53. I’ve been working with this guide since she was level 30, back in early October. That’s 23 levels in about three months; two levels per week. I only play once or twice a week, and my character is almost always getting rested xp for her kills. At this rate, she’ll be level 60, and going to Outland, in about four weeks. I might make level 70 in another five weeks. So top level is still over two months away.

This past Saturday night, I managed to gain two levels in four hours of play. One of my friends ran me through Zul Furrak with his level 70 dwarf hunter, and afterwards, I turned in over 54,000xp worth of quests. Bam! That was one hour of play, and then the next four hours I spent in Blasted lands questing and killing. I would love to manage that kind of level gain per hour played for the next 17 levels.

While in Blasted Lands, I took a peak at the Dark Portal, from afar. Couldn’t get too close because of all the higher-level demons patrolling the area. When I went through with my main character, my orc hunter, he was already 60th level, and I just rode him straight through the Blasted Lands and into the portal. I had not quested or hunted in BL with that character, so there was no feeling of building up in the area before being able to go right in.
