Since its birth, World of Warcraft has never been updated as much as with the last Wrath of the Lich King update. Northrend is considered the most huge addition to the game making WOW players interested in checking what the new continent offers. At the same time, they do not want to fall behind their colleagues in terms of leveling because of the time lost exploring the new land. The job of doing so would not be easy unless they know what to expect or use an alliance leveling guide.

Leveling in World of Warcraft needs a tremendous amount of time to research and explore. Northrend is not an exception. The land is huge, with two starting areas and fully equipped with thousands and more of new quests.

The first thing in Northrend leveling is to know where to start. There are two starting zones ” Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord ” and each one has its own positive and negative points to consider. But, of the two, Borean Tundra is by far the better choice for getting started in leveling. It provides a more linear leveling sequence, a faster route between hubs and a lot easier chance of finding what you need. Howling Fjord is a prettier, technically more awe inspiring locale, but it takes more time to get around and is thus harder to level up in as quickly.

While Outland was a series of large quest hubs with dozens of quests to complete at once, most of Northrends quests are done in chains that follow a story line. This makes it easier to find them in order, but it also makes Northrend leveling a bit more grueling. To effectively pull it off, you need to spend a bit of time prepping your character for each zone, reading up on the right paths and knowing which NPCs you should be talking to.

Daily quests can be completed in Northrend starting level 72. This means that you will no more need to grind to reach your next level. Just do the daily quests and gain more XP. You should do these daily quests only if you reach Icecrown Glacier and you are still not level 80 as doing them before will reward you with little XP.

Given it is full of new content that can be explored in many new exciting ways, leveling in Northrend will take you more effort and time but, at the same time, will give you more pleasure and fun.
