Leveling Guide Alliance - The Best Leveling Areas In Northrend
A good leveling guide, Alliance or Horde faction, will show you all the areas you are eligible for at your current level.
You will probably notice that sometimes, you have several choices, especially in the first major parts of the game.
If you used to choose them randomly or based your choices on criteria like how they look or what reputations you can get there, you were making the bad choices.
Even from the beginning, if you chose the wrong area to start leveling in, you will waste time.
A lot of people prefer Elwynn Forest to begin their characters, no matter what race they are.
That is because of a few things that this area has in addition or are different than others.
But I will cover that right after I tell you which are the best areas to level in Northrend.
The first area is the Borean Tundra that starts at level 70 and ends at 72.
An alternative to this is the Howling Fjord, but this is not as good as the Tundra.
After that you have the Dragonblight for levels 72 to 74, Grizzly Hills for levels between 74 and 75, Zul'Drak for 75 to 77, Sholazar Basin for 77 to 78 and then you have the Icecrown for the last two levels, 78 to 80.
An alternative to Icecrown is Storm Peaks, but this isn't as good as the first one and here is why.
Most areas that have other choices have certain particularities.
The ones that I said are better, have flatter terrain, less aggro around the map and have better quests lines that are not very spread out.
So you can do a lot more quests in less periods of time.
The zones that I said are not very good, are exactly the opposite.
They have rocky terrain and a lot of annoying aggro that keeps you from completing quests.
It's one thing to just fly in a straight line to your quest location, like in the more flat areas, and it's another thing to have to fly over mountains and also watch for aggro as you go towards a quest locations.
The trick to leveling fast in World of Warcraft is to be able to move fast so you can achieve more in less time.
And you can't do that if you have to always avoid engaging in unnecessary fights and flying or running around obstacles.
So make sure you pick the right areas to level in even with a leveling guide, Alliance or not.
