There are many different things you can do to level faster in WoW. In this article I am going to expose two basic (but important) things you can do to start leveling faster.
1. Set your Inn/Hearth Location to Shattrath or Dalaran
At the time the Burning Crusade expansion pack was released, a useful addition was made. Portals in Shattrath city link to all other major cities.
What this means is that by setting your Hearthstone to Shattrath or Dalaran you can get to other important cities by simply clicking on the portal of the place you want to go.
In Shattrath there are 2 different places you can set your Hearthstone - this confuses things a little as it's not so obvious as in Dalaran where you have the inn's.
1. Aldor Rise
2. Scryers Tier
If you ask a guard they will be able to tell you the general direction to the inn. If you press the "M" key you'll also be able to see where they are. If you want you can take the lift up to where you want to head. Scryers Tier is due South while Aldors Rise is West.
When you come to go down the lift, you can actually jump right off it and you wont die. You'll only die if your character is extremely weak or has low quality gear.
You won't be able to open the portal if your character is level 73 or below. In this case you can still use the portal though, you'll just need to get a Mage to help you out by opening the portal for you.
2. Get a new in-game Leveling Add-on
In the past 6 months or so, several cool add-ons have been created. These can tell you exactly where you need to go, and what you need to do next. They really are fantastic. You save a heap of time and quests become far less time consuming.
If you want to double your leveling time, I highly recommend you try one of these add-ons. They halved my leveling time and make things so much quicker and easier in general.
