If you absolutely get bored with BT/HF, you can move into Dragonblight at 72 or Grizzly Hills at 73. In WoW, quests are probably 2/3 to 3/4 of your XP, so as long as the quests don't go grey there's no big downside to running them after they've turned green in your quest journal. That will take you easily into 72-73 and since all the mobs will be slightly below your level, you'll be able to rip through quests. The secondary goal in BT/HF should be to complete every possible quest in both zones. Because you're going to replace nearly *everything* in BT/HF, I'm not going to go through and give a detailed gear list. You could conceivably even manage this by level 70 if you look at WoWHead and figure out which quests you should prioritize. By the time you finish either BT or HF, you should have replaced 90% of your gear with item level 138 green quality items. The main goal in BT/HF is to get all of your Outland gear replaced.
Borean Tundra was easier to get around, but a lot of people felt it was bland and uninspired. But prior to having the ability to fly, HF was a very difficult zone (at times) to get around due to all of the cliffs and obstacles. Personally, I love the look and feel of Howling Fjord (HF) much more then Borean Tundra (BT).
You'll be able to skip over mobs that aren't part of your quest instead of spending time wading through everything to get where you want to go. The ability to fly around the starting zones in Northrend at 68 makes everything about twice as easy to do. You'll want to pick this up in Stormwind or Ogrimmar before heading north, otherwise you'll have to go to Borean Tundra to get it trained (or take a flight to Dalaran). Make sure to pickup the ability to fly in Northrend ( Cold Weather Flying). But it's a good way to use up all those extra bandages that you had leftover from Outland. While you can grind through the rest of level 67 on the level 68-69 shoveltusks (in Howling Fjord) or rhinos (in Borean Tundra), it's slow and tedious. Even if you're bored to tears with Outland zones. Combine that with the random LFD goody bags that you get for completing a random dungeon and I was nearly fully kitted out in blue-quality gear.Ī lot of this mini-guide also applies to leveling other classes through the Northrend zones now that Cataclysm is out.įirst off, don't go to Northrend before level 68. Cataclysm has changed that and all the new quests and changes to the zones made it much less of a grind. For the longest time, I was stuck in the 30s/40s levels and just couldn't find the desire to level up in the old world zones. So, after over a year, my druid has finally made it to Northrend this week.
