The Grind: 68-80 When it all slows down

Yarg, power leveling though Northrend is not fast at all. 68 to 70 was fairly nice, just get to Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra, grab quests, complete quests, hand in quests and repeat - throw in some gathering and it soon passes.

It's when you get to 70 that things really start to slow up. From 70-72 I practically stopped questing altogether, maxed out my herbs and mining, picked up epic flight form and gathered my way through 2 levels. Wow that's tedious! Just keep going round Scholazar Basin and Wintergrasp (assuming there's no battles on), dive in, collect and run. It is as fast as questing with epic flight form and much much much more profitable.

At 73 I left gathering as a full time job and went back to questing roughly in the order of Dragonblight, Zul Drak the Scholazar.

Finally Icecrown, which is always quite fun anyway, it must be said the downhill slide to 80 was much nicer than the early to mid 70's, just knowing the end was in sight.

All I can say in summary is - power leveling though Northrend? Never ever ever again!

Next time: Cata leveling, learning to heal and gearing to raid.
