One of the first things anyone wants to do when they play an expansion for an MMO is hit the new level cap. This time around, World of Warcraft is only adding five levels, so it seems like an easy enough process. But, as we’ve seen in the past, Blizzard is big on extending those levels so much that they take a LOT longer than the regular levels.

So, when you start levelling, it may seem like a straight shot to the Twilight Highland and level 85, but in reality, it’s going to take a few days at the least.

How to Get Started

When you start levelling, there will be two low level zones with a variety of quests to get you started – Vashj’ir and Mount Hyjal. In Cataclysm, each zone has been separated into its own narrative. There are a lot of overlapping stories, but for the most part, you’ll be combatting one particular force in each zone, with a definite culmination of that storyline in the dungeons there.

That makes levelling a lot easier. Combined with the dungeon finder and the simplified questing platform that Blizzard created during the last wave of content, players can now skip from quest to quest and dungeon to dungeon relatively easily, without having to look at resources like WoWHead all the time.

Of course, knowing where those NPCs are is still very important. They don’t just announce themselves to you on the World Map (unless they’re in a dungeon), so it’s a good idea to track them down as best you can all at once and then complete quests with them repeatedly.
Daily Quests

Like in Wrath, there are some dailies before Level 85, but not enough to help with levelling. The two largest daily hubs are both at level 85 and are relegated to a PvP zone and a faction grind. If you really want to reach level 85 fast, you will want to focus more intently on completing the regular progression quests, then work on dungeons whenever you have a spare moment.

Leveling speed is a tricky thing. With an expansion, it can be severely hampered by high queue lines and a limited number of quest mobs to kill. With Cataclysm, a lot of that has been dealt with but you’ll still need to get on early, play for a long period of time and try to beat the vast majority of players who are rushing to reach level 85 right alongside you. Do that and Cataclysm will be a lot more fun
