How Alt Leveling Works in Dragonflight

Recommended Posts

51229-the-leveling-expert-on-the-new-hei

Dragonflight does not include Threads of Fate, but we've got some details on how alt leveling works in the new expansion.

Leveling Your Main Character

Leveling up the first character is linear, and you must complete the zones in the following order:

The Waking Shores > Ohn'ahran Plains > The Azure Span > Thaldraszus.

Leveling Your Alts

When you complete the Dragonflight campaign on your main character, you can pick any of the four Dragon Isles zones for leveling and you will have World Quests and Side Quests unlocked on your alts.

Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

they should really add a 50% bonus XP to an account after it's first character hits level cap.

Did they get rid of heirloom xp buffs? I feel like that, on top of holiday/darkmoon buffs or other item buffs from old expansions, has always made leveling alts plenty fast.

It's been a few years now (i guess since shadowlands launch?) that heirlooms don't give bonus XP anymore.
They give bonus rested XP, but that's it, and not very good when you want to level your character right away

I can get behind this and it would feel awesome instead of the long drawn out of leveling that SL featured.

To be fair, when they nerfed heirlooms they also massively buffed base exp gains to compensate. Even without the heirloom exp bonus leveling is just as fast, or even faster than it was before.

Considering the gold spent on those heirlooms and to upgrade them, the xp boost should still be there....I never understand why they nerfed them in the first place, players spent alot of gold on them, they should have stayed powerful, even today....cause right now, heirlooms are rubbish....they level up every 4 levels, instead of every level, i just don't see the point in them anymore, if there was an option for a refund of gold, as in 100% refund, i would instantly go for it.

I just don't use the heirlooms anymore.....they are rubbish now and not worth the gold they cost.

Heirlooms offer consistent gear throughout leveling so, they are still viable and useful, especially for those that simply quest to level and avoid dungeons unless they are part of a questline. I do agree that stripping the xp buff is poor form. The only reason I bothered to purchase all the heirlooms was for the xp buff.

I constantly get better gear than the heirlooms....from questing and after levelling 3 more times, it gets better again, then i get something that replaces it again.....it got to the point that i never noticed a difference from heirlooms and no heirlooms.

I didn't say it was better, just consistent for those that choose to quest over dungeons.

Which price? The Timewarped Badges price? The Marks of Honor price? The Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket price? The Brewfest Prize Token price? The Love Token price? The Burning Blossom price? The Coin of Ancestry price? The Tricky Treat price? The gold price where the cost of previous ranks drops each time a new top rank is added?

Irrelevant, the heirlooms now are not even worth the gold it costs right now.

But it's not.. Consistent in what ??
For leveling a ton (litterally an army) of alts, I've got better gear from quest (as it's said earlier). Meaning green gear is better. Making heirlooms unconsistent gear. You have to overleveling gear by 3-4 levels at least to get the equivalent with heirlooms..

This happen everytime with quests but not only, with random loot too. And I'm only talking about this because you're talking about questing without dungeons. But imagine with dungeons, the difference is even bigger.

That said, the poor and nosense scaling + stats/level squish is responsible. You even can get worst gear several levels later than a random piece you get earlier. It's current to get absolutely NO extra stat on an epic proc (from green) to a quest reward.

The truth is that the actual leveling stats/level squish is nothing more than a huge mess. That's why they're on it for Dragonflight. I hope they'll fix this mess.

So don't use gold. Also, with as many times as Winds of Wisdom gets turned on a year, and the ease of Chromie Time, if you need an xp buff on the heirloom gear on top of all of that? Just buy a damn boost already you lazy sod.

this has happened to me, I can't find a way to go back and get the adventuring quest, so the scouting map isn't available for me.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
    • By Starym
      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
