Welcome to Wowhead's Classic WoW Leveling Guide! This guide is composed of general tips on how to level in Classic effectively. Unlike leveling in Retail WoW, Classic's leveling takes a lot more effort, usually taking weeks to reach the Classic WoW level cap of 60 with a new character. This guide will contain tips such as what are the most efficient ways to level, what zones to approach, and general stuff that you should be doing as you level.
Wowhead's Classic WoW Class Leveling Guides
This guide will serve as a general guideline on ways to level in Classic WoW and how to approach leveling in the most effective way. Wowhead also has leveling guides for all Classic WoW Classes, with these guides approaching how to level each class including information on best leveling specs and talents, as well as gear progression and what spells to purchase while you level.

Classic WoW Leveling Methods
In Classic WoW, there are two popular leveling dungeon methods: Doing quests, or spamming dungeons.
Questing
is the most basic method, where you will just go through zones and completing quests in them. Questing can also be done solo, but it is less effective than dungeons, as some classes are more efficient at it than others, as well as it can be easy to stop leveling and be sidetracked by something. The advantage of leveling with quests is that you can quest while doing other things such as leveling professions.
Dungeons
are far more efficient than questing, but it requires a good group of 5 people that will keep you entertained for a while, as the process can get quite mind-boggling because you will be running the same dungeon for hours. The advantage of dungeons is that, together with more experience, you are also guaranteed drops that are better than the normal gear you get from questing.
Grinding
is also a decent option in between questing and dungeons - You simply choose a zone and kill mobs over and over.
We recommend to use a mix-up of both methods: Quest until you exhaust a zone (or are ready to move to the next one), and then do dungeons for a bit. This way, you can experience both methods and not grow bored of either.
Questing in Classic WoW
Questing is considered the most common way of leveling in WoW Classic. The advantage of leveling solo is, as you're usually doing it alone, you are not dependent on a group, and can play whenever your schedule allows it. Without a reliable group to do dungeons, Questing can be as efficient as dungeons.
When questing, you got to consider three factors that will determine how fast you can level: combat, recovery, and travel time.
Combat
, as the same states, is the time you will spend killing enemies for your quests. Learning new spells and getting gear with more offensive stats will greatly reduce your combat time.
Recovery
is the time you will spend regenerating your resources between killing enemies. Unlike Retail WoW, you will not be able to constantly chain enemies in Classic WoW, as you're likely to run out of resources very quickly if you do so. Gear stats like Spirit, Food and Drink, and even
bandages from First Aid
can greatly aid you with recovery times.
Travel Time
is the time you will spend traveling from quest objective to quest objective, from zone to zone. This is the portion that usually takes the longest, at least before your first mount at level 40, so it is important to try and optimize your questing. Questing addons such as
Questie
or
ClassicCodex
and guides such as our
Alliance Leveling Route
and
Horde Leveling Route
can greatly cut on travel time.
Alliance Leveling Route
Horde Leveling Route
Experience Solo x With a Group
Although questing can be done solo, it is also beneficial to group up, even if just for certain quests that require more than one player. Not only it can be more enjoyable to share the experience with a friend, you will also kill mobs twice as fast. However, experience gained from killing monsters is shared between all players in the group, so you might slow down a bit on raw experience. The advantage of grouping lies on the fact that you can kill monsters (and thus complete quests) faster, and you will have a lesser need to include additional players for group quests. Not to mention you will have a friend to talk to!
You do gain a small bonus when killing mobs as a group, to slightly offset the fact that you're in a group. As an example, let's assume that you're about to kill a mob that grants 100 experience while you're solo. This list is considering that all players are on the same level, as mobs grant different amounts of experience to players of different levels.
Solo: 100 EXP
2 Players: 50 EXP/person
3 Players: 39 EXP/person
4 Players: 33 EXP/person
5 Players: 28 EXP/person
It is worth noting that, while in a group, only experience gains from killing monsters are affected - Your entire group will receive the same amount of experience for turning in quests. So in a group, the experience losses for killing mobs with more people is often offset by the fact that a group will complete quests faster. Always consider how long it takes to complete a quest vs. how much experience you can gain from monsters before thinking about grouping.
In addition, it is
not recommended
to do a raid - Not only you will be able to complete quests while in a raid, but experience gains per mobs are also drastically reduced while in a raid.
Classic WoW Dungeons
Dungeon grinding means you will be plowing dungeons with a group of people. With an efficient group, you are able to clear through instances very effectively for drops and experience, and also get drops that are usually upgrades over quest rewards. However, you are reliant on a group at all times to grind dungeons - If you do not have a set group that does dungeons together while leveling, you will need to find a group of like-minded players. There are many ways to find groups in-game, the most popular ones being either joining the LookingForGroup channel (by typing /join LookingForGroup ingame).
You also need to find a group that can stick together for a while, because having to wait for people every couple hours because you're replacing them with new players can drastically reduce the experience gained from dungeons. In Classic WoW, you will need to run all the way to the dungeon - The only way to be summoned to a dungeon is by using a Warlock's
召唤仪式
.
Other downsides from dungeon leveling include isolation from the world - Although this can be a viable alternative in PvP servers, where using dungeons is a good way to avoid PvP while leveling, you will likely not be able to do tasks such as keeping your professions updated. However, as you will naturally gain more gold with dungeon grinding than straight questing, this can be a non-issue for crafting professions. Classic WoW is very focused on the community and open-world aspect, so you can lose some of this experience by sticking to dungeons, but this is a personal decision - Do what leveling style suits you best!
The biggest upside to leveling with dungeons is the ease of access to drops from said dungeons - Many of the more end-game dungeons like
黑石深渊
and
黑石塔
contain Best in Slot (BIS) drops to a lot of classes, and obtaining these while you level can be a major lifesaver once you hit 60.
Although any classes can grind dungeons, there are two generally accepted "metas" of dungeon grinding: Melee Cleave and Spell Cleave.
Melee Cleave
uses the power of
战士
to deal high amounts of damage to multiple groups at a time. Thanks to abilities like
顺劈斩
,
旋风斩
and the talent
, Warriors are able to consistently deal high damage to groups of enemies, and thanks to their Rage system, they have little downtime between pulls. Melee Cleave groups are built around empowering Warriors, with good compliments being
萨满祭司
due to the powerful
风怒图腾
or
圣骑士
s due to
. Other DPS and healing classes can enter Melee Groups just fine, but they won't have as much potential damage as warriors do.
Spell Cleave
groups, on the other hand, are built around
法师
s. With the spell
in conjunction with the talent
, Mages are able to easily control groups of multiple enemies while dealing the best AoE damage in the game. Unlike Melee Cleaves, the only hard requirement to Spell Cleave groups is at least one Mage, but other classes with good AoE such as
术士
s with
火焰之雨
and
猎人
s with
are able to contribute with the damage. This strategy is very high-risk, high-reward, though, and a well-handled Spell Cleave group is capable of obtaining the most experience/hour in the game.
For more information on how to create and operate a Spell Cleave group, please check our
Spell Cleave Dungeon Leveling Guide
.
Spell Cleave Dungeon Leveling Guide
Dungeon Quests
It is worth noting that although you can level without dungeon grinding, it can be very beneficial to still run dungeons at least once in order to complete dungeon quests. Some dungeon quests award you with guaranteed Rare-quality items that are as good, if not better than the drops that the dungeon provide.
Some dungeon quests can be hard to reach without prior knowledge of where to go for each quest. To help you with this, we have compiled a
List of Classic Dungeon Quests Guide
, with walkthroughs to every single quest you can obtain to any Classic WoW Dungeon, as well with how easy it is to obtain each quest.
Lists of Classic Dungeon Quests
Dungeon Grinding Spots
The following dungeons are the most favored spots for dungeon grinding groups. Be mindful that these dungeons are more guidelines than anything, and you can probably start running them at lower levels, but it is advised to err on the side of caution.
Horde is able to start their dungeon grinding a bit earlier than Alliance, with Ragefire Chasm at level 13, while Alliance needs to wait until 16 to be able to start doing Deadmines. Both factions will use different dungeons until level 30, where at this point they will be able to safely leave their starting zones and progress to higher-level dungeons.
Ragefire Chasm
- Levels 13-18
Wailing Caverns
- Levels 18-25
Shadowfang Keep
- Levels 23-30
The Deadmines
- Levels 16-23
The Stockade
- Levels 23-30
Scarlet Monastery
- Levels 30-44 (starting from Graveyard then progression through Library, Armory and Cathedral)
Zul'Farrak
- Levels 44-49
Blackrock Depths
- Levels 49-56
Lower Blackrock Spire
- Levels 56-60
Classic WoW Grinding
Grinding is basically choosing a zone with mobs and killing them, over and over. Grinding can be a good alternative to earn experience while transitioning from zone to zone, as only completing quests is often not enough to get you through a zone's level requirement. With grinding, you will want to find good zones with mobs that you can kill over and over, with as little downtime as possible.
While you're not required to simply sit on a spot and kill the same types of enemies for hours on end, a good habit to maintain while leveling is to simply kill mobs as you travel to complete quests. As traveling is one of the biggest downtimes while questing for experience, offsetting some of the travel time with some grinding can be beneficial for you. By applying grinding effectively between quests, you will be able to more easily reaching certain thresholds to enter higher-level zones.
Mob grinding is also a popular strategy for certain classes that are able to handle multiple mobs in certain areas without any issue, like Mages. Our
Classic WoW Mage Leveling Guide
has a compilation of best AOE talents and spots for Mages to grind on.
Mob Grinding Mage Leveling Guide
Classic WoW Leveling Zone Order
A good way to speed up your leveling experience is to plan on your routes in advance, for either dungeon or questing or even grinding, is planning out beforehand which zones you will want to level in. The better you are at planning a good zone route, the faster your leveling will be. However, knowing every single zone order for those who haven't practiced in private servers for years is unrealistic at best - For most players, the best way to go about this is simply to know when to change zones.
Classic WoW Starting and Secondary Zones
Every race has two zones dedicated to their very own race - An initial zone where your character will start your journey, and a secondary zone adjacent to the first. Starting zones are meant to last through levels 1-10 and secondary zones are meant to last through 10-20 (with the notable exception of
北贫瘠之地
, which can be quested all the way through lv30), but it is always highly recommended to level a bit beyond the zone's final levels before moving on to the next. For PvP realms, it is also worth noting that both your faction's starting and secondary zones are not contested zones, which means you're able to level in those zones without any danger of being ganked.
It is also worth noting that these zones are not set in stone - After you're done with your starting zone, you can move to any secondary zones from your faction's races. Moving to a different secondary zone usually means a good amount of travel through much higher zones or even through continents, but you can do so if you want to level together with friends who play different races, or even if you just like that zone better.

Quests to Avoid in Classic WoW
As a general rule of thumb for zone changes, you do not need to complete every single quest in a zone before moving on to another zone - Several zones have questlines that will go well beyond the zone's initial level. For instance,
北荆棘谷
is one of the first zones viable at level 30 for both Horde and Alliance, but quests in STV range from level 30 all the way to level 45, and you will certainly not be able to reach such a high level only by questing there. An easy way to tell whether a quest might be right for you to do is to look at the color a quest is displayed to you in your quest log:
Red quests are quests with objectives that are much higher level than you (5 levels or more). It is generally advised to skip these altogether until you have a higher level.
Orange quests are quests with objectives slightly higher than your level (3 to 5 levels). You are able to complete these quests but it might be advised to call for a group to do so.
Yellow quests are quests with objectives close to your level (2 levels below to 2 levels above). You should be able to complete these quests by yourself without too much issue.
Green quests are quests with objectives slightly below your level (3 levels to 10 levels below). You should be able to easily complete these quests solo.
Gray quests are quests with objectives much lower than your level (10 levels or less). These quests will grant only 10% of a quest experience and are generally not worth doing.
It is also widely considered better to wait until you slightly out level a zone's initial requirements, as it is much faster to do lower level zones at a faster pace instead of doing zones that are slightly higher level than your current level. Of course, this can always change depending on whether you have friends, you're just questing, you're also grinding, or even doing dungeons while also questing.
Elite quests will have the tag (Elite) on your questlog.
Other types of quest you may want to avoid while leveling are
Elite quests
- Even if these quests can be completed at the same yellow as you, these quests contain tougher than normal mobs and are extremely difficult for a solo player of the same level to complete. However, if you have friends, or can find groups for these quests, they do offer more experience and better rewards than normal quests!
Classic WoW General Leveling Tips
We did talk a bit about different ways to level and some time-saving strategies, but below we have some more tips that can improve your leveling speed.
Classic WoW Gear and Consumables
Knowing what kind of gear benefits your class the best and going after this specific gear can help your leveling speed greatly - For instance, melee specializations are very dependant on getting better weapons, and casters are the same with wands, which allows them to deal damage without spending mana.
Another thing that will greatly increase leveling speed is bringing consumables with you - Although you won't have access to a ton of consumables while leveling, food and drinks are of extreme importance. As stated previously, you won't be able to go through many mobs without stopping to regenerate health or mana, and without food or drinks, your will spend a large amount of time regenerating them. You can purchase food and drinks from innkeepers or food and drink vendors in any capital cities or most quest hubs. Another alternative is to befriend a Mage and have them conjure water and food for you, but make sure you tip them!
An alternative for regeneration is bandages from First Aid - Bandages will regenerate a certain amount of health over 8 seconds, have a very short cooldown of 1 minute, and can be created very easily using cloth that you can obtain while leveling. For more information about First Aid and how to level this profession, check our
Classic First Aid Guide
.
For more information on sources of food, drinks, and more basic consumables, check our
WoW Classic Best Food Guide
.
First Aid
Best Food Guide
Classic WoW Class and Weapon Trainers
While leveling, you will need to purchase new spells every couple levels. Class Trainers will have new spells and abilities for you every 2 levels, all the way to level 60. You can find Class Trainers for early levels at the main quest hubs in starting zones, as well as in most Capital Cities. Be aware that not all Cities have trainers for all Classes - For instance, there is no Warlock Class Trainer in Thunder Bluff.
Our Classic Leveling Guides have sections pointing out what skills are most important to purchase as you level - Check our guides to know what skills you should purchase as you level!

Hunter Classic Leveling Guide
Mage Classic Leveling Guide
Paladin Classic Leveling Guide
Priest Classic Leveling Guide
Rogue Classic Leveling Guide
Shaman Classic Leveling Guide
Warlock Classic Leveling Guide
Warrior Classic Leveling Guide
In addition to Class Trainers, there are Weapon Masters scattered around all capital cities. When you start a new character, you will only know how to use 1 or 2 types of weapons, and you must consult with a Weapon Master to learn other kinds of weapons available for your class. Learning a new weapon skill only costs but it is a requirement to better your character once you're able to stop by and train new weapon skills. You can check the locations for each Weapon Master for your faction, as well as what weapon skills do they teach, in our
Classic Weapon Skills Guide
.
Weapon Skills Guide
Saving for a Mount in Classic WoW
At level 40, you will be able to purchase your first Mount - A mount will increase your movement speed by 60% while riding them, which saves a ton of time while traveling from quest to quest. However, mounts can be very expensive for level 40s - While
圣骑士
s and
术士
s are able to get their first mount for free with questing, other classes will need to spend some gold for their mounts.
To learn a mount, you will first need to purchase the adequate riding skill, at before faction discounts, and the mount itself will cost before discounts, so make sure you save as much gold as you can before level 40. A good way to make money is to selling unwanted items to a vendor, posting valuable goods such as profession items on the Auction House, or even only purchasing the most important skills for your class as you level.
For more information about mount costs and how faction discounts work, please check our
WoW Classic Mounts Guide
.
WoW Classic Mounts
Taking Breaks from Classic WoW
Leveling takes a long time in Classic WoW, so do not shy away from taking breaks every now and then! However, breaks can add up to a lot of time lost while leveling, so you might want to take advantage of times where you will not be doing a lot on your character, like waiting for a boat or while in a flight path, to do things like go to the bathroom, get a snack, or even just get up and stretch your legs for a bit. Queue times for more populated servers are also a good opportunity to finish any duties around your house so you can level for a while uninterrupted.
You can also simply autorun through zones and take small breaks as you reach questing areas by foot/mount, although using autorun without keeping an eye on your character can be outright dangerous. In Classic WoW, the default keybind to autorun is
Num Lock
.
Gathering Rested Experience in Classic WoW
Still on the topic of breaks, sometimes you will simply have to log off and do something else. In order to make the most of your logged-off time, it is strongly advised for you to log off at an inn or a rest area. World of Warcraft has a system called
Rest
, where are able to gain a bonus modifier to your experience gains while you're logged off. While you can gain this bonus whenever you're logged off, you will gain it at a much faster rate when logged off at an Inn or another sort of resting area, like Capital Cities.
If you have the default UI, you will know that you're within a Rest area when your player portrait gains a golden aura, and a
speech bubble with a zzz icon
appears near your character portrait. Another way to find out if you're at a Rest area is to simply try to log off - When you're at a Rest area, you will be able to log off immediately. In any other areas of the game, you will be prompted with a 20-second log-off window before your character actually logs off the game.
When you have accumulated rested experience, your experience bar,
normally purple
, will instead have a
blue hue
. Additionally, a notch will appear in your experience bar, showing exactly how much rested experience you have. While you have rested experience accumulated, monsters will earn you double the experience on kill. Once you run out of rested experience, your experience bar will turn purple once more, and a message will appear in your chat, You feel normal.
Although rested experience is by no means required to level your character, it is a nice bonus and serves as a nice catch-up mechanic for those who are not able to play the game as often.
Upgrading Your Bags in Classic WoW
One of the biggest deterrents to leveling in Classic WoW is bag slots - Many quests will require you to loot items from mobs, and even just keeping gray items will award you a good amount of gold when selling them to any vendors. Having enough bag slots ensures you are able to collect any quest objectives and still have enough slots to obtain any valuables to vendor or throw at the Auction House.
Your character will start your Classic WoW adventure with only a single 16-slot bag, but it isn't too hard to obtain more bag slots. For more information on how to obtain bags easily, please check our
Classic WoW Bags and Storage Guide
.
Bags and Storage
Leveling Professions in Classic WoW
Leveling professions is often recommended as you level your character in Classic, although they can slow down your leveling time significantly. Gathering professions like
Skinning
,
Mining
and
Herbalism
as you level, however, is an excellent idea, as you are required to travel around Azeroth to level these professions anyway, and these professions can offer high amounts of raw gold for things like class skills or even your first mount.
An alternative profession that you should definitely look into as you level is First Aid - First Aid allows you to create Bandages that will regenerate a certain amount of health over 8 seconds, have a very short cooldown of 1 minute, and can be created very easily using cloth that you can obtain while leveling. First Aid is also a secondary profession, meaning that everyone can learn it even after having both Primary Professions learned! For more information about First Aid and how to level this profession, check our
Classic First Aid Guide
.
Leveling Addons for Classic WoW
Addons can also help you a lot while leveling, as in Classic, quest objectives and turn-ins are not visible on your map. We recommend the leveling addons
Questie
or
ClassicCodex
, which will show all quest objectives, areas with quests to pick up, as well as providing you with options to auto-accept and auto-turn in quests.
