Not a bad guide at all, good ideas and thoughts, especially the class section. One idea would be to proof read it, as there are numerous grammatical and spelling errors. Copy and paste your text in an advanced text editor and it can do a lot of the foot work for you. Good job :)

A very good guide, but in the classes you did miss that for rouges at level 15 they can learn a talent to give +20% move speed during stealth

Comment by thegr8smeagle

priests get access to angelic feather at lvl 30, at 80% speed for 6 sec with 3 charges this is probably one of the best speed buffs in game

You did a pretty good job making this guide, but it's a bit incomplete.

20xp per bush is awesome, but u need 18.370.000xp for gaining last level (89 ---> 90). Let's say u pick up earthroot every 15sec:
30xp every 15sec =>
120xp / min
7200xp / hour
172.800xp / day
18.370.000 / 172.800 = 106 days gameplay to get last level (89 ---> 90).
Really? Don't think so. There's smthng else which can give some xp: daily quests.

According to armory this neutral guy did 1601 daily quests: ( http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/mannoroth/Doubleagent/achievement#96:a7411 ).

How? Log to your main, get (for example) Old MacDonald, do it, but don't press pop up window ("Click to complete the quest" --- it doesn't req talking to anyone). Log to your neutral panda, open quest log, press "Complete Quest". On lvl 89 it gives 215.600xp. In 2 mins. There is atleast 1 more quest like this (in Duskwood), maybe there are more.

Is it "fair" way? No. Did Doubleagent abuse this tactic? Yes (check armory link).

p.s. exp for dailies scales with lvl, on low lvls u get few %, on ~85 it's about 2% and so on).
p.p.s. so you still can become 1st 90lvl person lvled only on blooms. It would take few years of your life, but...

Great guide! I didn't even know that it was possible to do that! May I suggest something? In patch 6.1 they added an achievement "Heirloom Hoarder" which is achieved once you've collected 35 heirlooms. When completed it gives you a level 1 mount! All level 1's and up can use it and no flight training required! The only thing is is that it stays at 60% speed forever.

Are there mailboxes there? I forgot.

Doubleagent is now a 100,but still neutral as far as I can tell.

Update: Sorry guys, the remote auction house no longer exists. I will try to remember to update this if this ever changes.

By using the remote auction house, you can sell things from the Isle and claim the gold an hour after it sells, no mailbox required, It's quite a cool little feature. Not that having more than 1 gold is ever useful here.

Update: If it fails to sell, the item will be mailed to you, but using the same tool you can take it straight from the mailbox and put it back on the auctionhouse. This also works for buying things. You could become rich in the starting zone, It's essentially useless, but it's fun all the same, I want to see how much gold I make before level 100. Currently level 30 and I'm on 2k gold. Think how much I'd be on if I hadn't been giving away all the materials all this time.

For anyone attempting this path of leveling. Completing the quest chain up until The Passion of Shen-zin, but NOT entering the temple allows Huo to stay with you the entire journey. This provides a +50% speed boost. Note this does not stack with other speed boosts (Momentum talent with monks as an example).

I dont seem to get any xp from herbs when I get 75/75... anyway around this? Thanks

Comment by littlewolfjt

I have been looking for information on the sea turtle and being able to use on the isle for about an hour. I come here to see more information about the starting zone and I noticed it is updated to include the sea turtle. There is one more mount you can add to this as well. The Subdued Seahorse in underwater areas. This only gives you increase swimming and only useable in underwater areas.

(Edited: For whatever reason, my comment got posted 3 times.)

Hi - just like to say I got to 90 just after the famous doubleagent on EU. (Xyzzyc on CoA now Neútral)
There was a site we chatted on with all neutrals listed and lvls etc. (wandering isle stayers)
This guide has some errors in it but its good - wish I had access to alpha shadowlands to see what changes occur for the race to 60, lol
I stopped the questing at "The Healing of Shen-zin Su" & had fun helping single players complete it prior to looms/nerfs etc.
Hope this guide gets updated.

Peace to all Neútral's…….

Would love to see an update for this guide. I'm probably not the only crazy Hunter out there that wants to tame Guardian of the Elders which requires level 39.

Please!

Btw, this is really out of date:

-Hunters have no speed buff early on, but at level 24 they learn Aspect of the Cheetah which increases movement speed by 30% like ghost wolf but, if you get hit while this aspect is active you get stunned which is a downside.

AotC was changed to Legion to have a 3 minute cooldown and you are no longer dazed. Also, Hunters can have a permanent 8% movement speed by taming one of the Cunning pets on the Isle (like a fox.) At level 30 we can talent into Trailblazer which is another 30%.

Currently leveling a monk through wandering isle.

I started a few expansions ago and got up to level 60 before they squished the level, decent feat imo. No heirlooms, no pet battle hack. just pure, honest farming.

I went with a very, very generic pandaren monk, as to keep the lore of the race intact. if i hit max level without looms, i am better than doubleagent, and that keeps me going.
