There are two major questions every World of Warcraft player is always looking for the answer to, and dungeon leveling provides the perfect solution to both of these questions.  All WoW players are always trying to find faster ways to level their characters and new ways to make more gold than they ever had before.  Thanks to patch 3.3 in Wrath of the Lich King, we now have the dungeon finder system.  The dungeon finder solved a problem so many players had: not being able to find a group to complete dungeons with.  However, the dungeon finder is much more than a tool for level 85 characters to earn badges and gear up.  It also provides the perfect way to power level.

More Experience

Many of the early WoW dungeons from the original game and the Burning Crusade have been overlooked in the past few years, thanks to all the content from the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and now the Cataclysm expansion.  But don’t forget that those early parts of the game had dungeons too, and these dungeons provide a valuable resource for those who want to power level their characters more quickly than they ever have before.  The average experience earned per second is far higher for those who are dungeon leveling instead of traditional solo questing, and the rewards earned from completing dungeon quests are of much better quality than those earned in the solo route.

More Gold

Additionally, dungeon leveling also allows you to earn a lot more gold in a shorter amount of time than questing alone.  There are three ways dungeon leveling can help you earn plenty of WoW gold.  The most basic way is the fact that you’re killing monsters much more quickly and efficiently.  Each kill gives you a cut of the gold as loot, and party members take turns looting the kills.  Simply selling all the trash you pick up from all of those kills will help you earn even more gold than you could by questing alone. 

The second level of earning more gold from dungeon leveling is the fact that you’ll have more access to unique and useful items that can be sold on the auction house.  If you don’t know how to use the auction house, then it’s definitely worth your time to learn, especially if you’re power leveling through the dungeon finder system.  Creatures will drop cloth, gems, and other materials for various professions, and all of these will sell on the auction house.  You increase the likelihood of actually seeing these items drop by going the dungeon leveling route instead of the solo questing one. 

The third level of making WoW gold from dungeon leveling also involves the auction house, but it also requires that you have an enchanter in your group.  If there’s an enchanter in the group, then you will have the option to “Disenchant” in addition to “Need or “Greed.”  Selecting “Disenchant” is a great way to get enchanting materials and earn some extra gold on the auction house.

www.cynicalbrit.com – Blue Plz! The longest running and rantiest WoW podcast around. “Zombies on your Lawn” song – http Well this is a WTF moment if I ever saw one. Blizzard, I assume in partnership, with Popcap Games have implemented a version of Plants vs Zombies into WoW and it’s surprisingly good. This is the Peacebloom vs Ghouls quest-line, from start to finish. For your OCD folks, there’s also a repeatable ‘infinite’ version afterwards and achievements. God help us all.

Everyone who has played World of Warcraft asks themselves at some point, “Isn’t there a faster way to level?”  The answer to that question is instance leveling, but the benefits don’t stop at the ability to level your toons faster.  There are many other benefits that you will never experience if you don’t try your hand at instance leveling.

Better Gear

One of the most subtle benefits of instance leveling is the fact that you’ll have access to better gear.  There are three ways you’ll be able to get better gear.  The first way is through direct loot drops, especially off of the bosses.  The bosses in the instances will drop much better gear than anything you’ll find while questing on your own. 

The second way you’ll be able to get better gear is through rewards from instance quests.  The rewards from instance quests will be much higher quality gear than any of the rewards that come from solo quests.  The third way of acquiring better gear through instance leveling is a little iffy, at least in terms of the items you end up with.  Every time you complete an instance, you’ll earn a bag of goodies at the end.  There will always be a piece of blue gear in the bag, but that piece of gear won’t always benefit you.  It may be for a different spec than your character, or it may be one you already have.  However, it is still very helpful to have those bags of gear from instance leveling.  Besides, even if the gear doesn’t help you, you can always disenchant it and sell the enchanting materials or sell the gear to a vendor.  Either way, you end up with more gold than you had before.

Less Down Time

Instance leveling also involves much less down time than solo questing always did.  Sure, you’ll die sometimes, especially if you play one of the squishier classes, but if you’re the only death in the group, then the healer will be able to resurrect you.  If the healer dies, then some of the other classes do have resurrection powers also, so it means you probably won’t have to run back and get your corpse.  This aspect is a huge time saver.

There are also a lot more mobs packed into an instance than there are out in the solo areas.  On average, you’ll be able to get more kills per second when you’re in an instance because there are more monsters in a smaller area.  Being in a group of five people ensures that you’re able to handle these larger mobs of creatures.  More time spent killing means more experience and levels that come a lot faster and easier.

More Fun

When you started playing World of Warcraft, you may not have expected the huge world that allows you to play with other people you’ve never met.  But isn’t it a lot more fun to play things together?  After all, you’ll be able to take down bosses that are a lot more interesting than the ones you’ll run across while questing alone.

More and more players are discovering the benefits of dungeon leveling instead of traditional solo questing and mob grinding.  Dungeon leveling is the fastest way to level, and it will keep your character in much better gear than solo questing alone will.

Better Gear Drops

One of the problems with leveling a character is the fact that the gear never seems to be good enough.  This is no longer a problem with the dungeon finder because players will have access to much better quality gear.  The gear that drops off of the bosses inside the dungeons will really help you level faster because you won’t die as much.  Your character will be more powerful, even in those early levels.

More Mobs in a Shorter Amount of Time

Dungeon leveling will earn you a lot of experience in a shorter amount of time than solo questing, and there are several reasons for this.  First, there are many more creatures packed into a much smaller area, which means you will be killing more creatures in a shorter amount of time.  You won’t have as far to travel between creatures, so you’ll also have less down time and spend more time actually killing creatures.  The fact that you are in a five-person group instead of questing out on your own means you can take on four or five creatures at the same time.  You will get experience for every creature your party kills, even if you didn’t actually damage it directly.

Extra Experience from BOA gear and Rest Bar

There are also two important factors that WoW players should remember when it comes to earning experience by dungeon leveling.  The first is BOA, or bind-on-account gear.  These items are available for purchase from the Heirloom vendor in Dalaran.  Only players who already have a level 85 character will be able to purchase the Heirloom gear, but wearing all three pieces of it while leveling will grant you an extra 30 percent experience gained for all monsters killed and quests completed.  This gear really cuts down the amount of time you spend leveling, and it’s especially effective when you’re dungeon leveling because those lower levels will just fly on by.

The other factor all WoW players should remember while dungeon leveling is rest bar.  You acquire rest bar every time you spend time in an inn, whether you’re logged in or not.  The easiest way to build up rest bar is to log out while you’re inside of an inn.  This gives you rest bar for all of the time you spend logged out.  The benefit of rest bar is that it gives you double the experience for all of your kills.  This is an especially important aspect of dungeon leveling because it means that every monster you kill is worth twice the experience it would be worth if you didn’t have any rest bar.
