wow Threads of Fate Leveling Tips

[Stan 5,020]

Here are some useful tips if you are leveling alts through the Threads of Fate system.

The Threads of Fate system allows you to ignore the main story and level up your character by doing various objectives and completing world quests.

You should first visit every area to accept all campaign quests if you plan on leveling through spamming dungeons.

Each dungeon gives you 10% toward the progress bar.

You should also focus on progressing through the quests simultaneously, not one by one, if you are mainly leveling through dungeons. 

Reddit user Kerotos summarized how much XP you're going to get via dungeons.

Reddit user Lucasion pointed out that Threads of Fate is available for alts to switch to at any time until your character hits 60, meaning at any point, you can choose to skip the rest of the story. However, if you hit 60 while doing the story, the Fatescriber no longer gives you the option to swap to the Threads of Fate system, so your alt becomes locked into finishing the story.

If you are leveling an alt through the storyline, make sure you return to Oribos and swap to the Threads of Fate BEFORE hitting level 60!

Remember that choosing Threads of Fate is PERMANENT and cannot be undone, but if you choose replay storyline, you can swap to Threads at any time.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand it seems to be a decent way to level once one gets sick of the storyline but I think it can get stale real quick especially if you're not one for spamming dungeons...or get tired of the queues for DPS.

I used it to level my alt, and it was fine.  Just bring a DPS friend if you can

I like the concept, but on an alt character I tried the Threads of Fate option and even though I carefully considered all the available covenants - read guides, tried the spells on the target dummies - I still managed to pick one I do not really enjoy in action. So I vouch for replaying the campaign and testing the covenant abilities thoroughly. If one can rule out the venthyr from the list of choices (as they receive their class ability rather late into the story) it shouldn't be much more problematic.

If you do go this option, be careful about completing World Quests on the day you plan to hit 60. Leave the ones in your covenant zone alone as you'll need to do three shortly after hitting 60. I'm currently sitting at 1/3 done because I made this mistake.

It took me significantly longer to level up an alt using this option. Reading the above linked post gave me some ideas how to speed this up, but honestly the storyline is interesting and focused toward moving along a set of distinct goals, as opposed to Threads of Fate which just leaves you grinding XP. It just seems more engaging and fun for me to level up with the storyline. Anyone else have a compelling reason not to just run the storyline again?

Because the story is completely pointless after the first time?  How is that not a compelling reason?  I'd much prefer to spam dungeons quickly for zone progress, along with world quests.  You also forget you are stuck in one zone at a time when you are repeating the story.  Who the crap wants to do that?  Good god, man....

I can't even fathom wanting to do the story again, over and over.  That's what was great about Legion and BFA leveling, you could go wherever you wanted to in the first place.  Doing the exact same starting crap over and over again is a thing of the past.

I'm expressing my opinion, as are you. I assumed that would be obvious. Do whatever you want, mate.
