wow Why Legion is Best for Leveling in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch

[Stan 5,019]

In this post, we're looking at why Legion is the hands down the best expansion for leveling through Chromie Time in the Shadowlands pre-patch if you haven't played it before.

Class Order Halls

Each class has its own themed Class Order Hall available in Legion, and with it come class-specific questlines and plenty of rewards for you to unlock.

Artifact Weapons and Appearances

Each class can unlock their own specialization-themed artifact weapon appearances that you can later use for transmog.

Blizzard has relaxed Artifact weapon transmog restrictions in the pre-patch. If you haven't unlocked them yet and want to wield legendary weapons like the Ashbringer, make sure to complete the associated questlines.

You can dual wield the same Artifacts, and the appearances are no longer locked to certain specializations.

You can even unlock additional appearances for each Artifact weapon, except for the Mage Tower and Mythic Keystone 15 appearances that have been removed.

Allied Races

Blizzard started adding Allied Races in Legion. Even though you no longer need to be Exalted with the associated faction, you must still complete the quests to unlock the Allied Races.

Alliance can unlock the Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves. Horde players can unlock the Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren through Legion content.

Class Mounts

Finally, you can unlock class mounts through a questline, but this will take some time as your character needs to earn the Breaching the Tomb achievement, and the Broken Shore is intended for the 40-50 range.

Each pre-Suramar zone also has bonus xp objectives that align extremely well with the quest flow, which although nerfed still make it faster than every other Chromie TW except WoD.

I have mostly been leveling 2 alts in a combination of Pandaria/Draenor and Draenor tends to win out. I chose Pandaria in part due to my fondness for the expansion and  have enjoyed tending my farm. I was shying away from Legion because it was still more recent. This is a helpful consideration for any future leveling <shudder>.

I just leveled up an alt with Legion Chromie time, and I have mixed feelings about it.

In one hand it's a good choice due you can unlock some artifact apperance along with it (which mostly you done anyway) and way for allied races.

On the other hand, i did the main questline for each zone and some bonus objective (plus some invasion quest) and im still have some level to be done. I continued with Suramar quests, but those are feels slow: the quests are easy, but "not to dense" especially at the begining of the zone.

Honestly I don't like this just because it goes for the "You get this xmog, this new race, etc etc."

When what I'm looking for, and I would assume many others are, is "this expansion will help you level to max the fastest because ____ and _____."      Levelling is even in the title, it just feels misleading.
