Are you using an Alliance leveling guide but still have trouble progressing in the game? Two things can be wrong in order for that to happen. One, you are using a bad guide. If you didn't do your research right, you could have gotten a bad guide. And two, you are not playing your character right.
If you bought a bad guide, you should look to see if you can get a refund and then get a better one. But I am not here to cover that. I am here to tell you about a few items that you need to have in-game in order to level faster.
Heirloom Items
- Heirlooms are pieces of gear that level up along with you and offer bonuses to experience gained, among other stats. You can buy the chest and shoulders heirlooms with Justice Points. These will give you an added bonus of 20% to all experience gained. There are other heirlooms out there, but they are a little more tricky to get.
A Leveling Guild
- Being in a high level guild from the start is very useful. If you noticed in an Alliance guide, you have a lot of walking around to do since you will be doing quests mostly. You will receive a haste bonus from your guild that increases mount speed. Not only that, but you also get an experience bonus and other useful perks.
These will all add up and hasten your progression considerably.
Mounts And Riding Skills
- You should do whatever you can to make sure you always have the best riding skill. When ever you are not fighting, you should be on your mount. Especially when you get your flying mount. If you need to move even for several units, you should do it by mount.
If you don't have a main to get gold from, pick up Gathering skills and sell the resources you find. You should get enough gold for each skill as you advance.
The Right Build
- Having all of these won't do you much use if you are not trained right. You will want to get the DPS talent build until level 80. That way you will kill mobs a lot faster so you will save time there too.
From level 80, you should get a Tank build because the mobs are a lot tougher in Cataclysm. After you have updated your gear completely, you can switch back to the DPS build, but it is not recommended for questing in this region.
You can level pretty quickly if you have these things. Of course, in order to have Heirloom items you will need a main to farm Justice Points with. But the rest of the points are valid. You might not even need an Alliance leveling guide.
