New Shadowlands Leveling Path - Exile's Path Starting Zone, Choose Your Expansion

Beta Posted 2019/11/02 at 2:19 PM by Neryssa

With the level squish lowering the Shadowlands level cap to 60Levels 1-10 - Exile's Reach Starting ZoneExile's Reach

In Shadowlands, Death Knights and Demon Hunters will start at level 1. Allied Race characters will start at level 10 and skip Exile's Reach.

In addition, veteran players will be able to choose between venturing through Exile's Reach, or the original starting zones (including the starting zone experiences for DKs and DHs).

Levels 10-50 - Choose Your Adventure!

All zones, from Classic to Battle for Azeroth zones, will scale all the way to level 50.

New players will be sent to level in Kul Tiras or Zandalar, as Battle for Azeroth was the most recent expansion. This will help new players feel like they aren't left behind, ensuring they can get caught up to the most recent portion of WoW's storyline without having to go through additional loops.

Veteran players will be approached by Chromie, who senses they have done Battle for Azeroth before - And offer them the opportunity to level in any expansions! You will be able to choose your expansion to level on and change at any time, in case you need a change of pace.

leveling from 1-50 in Shadowlands will be around 60-70% faster than it currently is to level from 1-120 in BFALevel 50-60: Welcome to Shadowlands!

Comment by alwaysyourqueenThis is absolutely crazy — I can't believe they're making this huge fundamental change to the game. I hope it ends up enjoyable, and I look forward to it.Comment by edikgeryeah wow is saved for sure thanks god..we can lvl fastComment by monstres4I can't wait to try out the new starting area. I hope I can win the giveaway! I really want the Big Blizzard Bear or the Dark Portal toy.Comment by TheRedRogueThe level squish was necessary, and being able to fully complete the stories of an expac without running into gray level quests will be nice. Since Allied Raced can be DK's with this, it also means you could start at level 10 as a DK even though they're getting dropped to level 1 for everyone else, I presume.Comment by TwoTastyTicTacsThis is cool. I hope this keeps new players interested until end game.Comment by KarnegGoing through an entire expansion's storyline without changing expansions will bring you pretty close to level 50Comment by Nikolas90It's gonna be hard to imagine a new leveling zone after 15 years of playing isolated, away from other races.Comment by BathroomBuddhagreat stuff..Comment by VaishinoFinally, goodbye Kezan and Gilneas!Comment by BubblepieLooking forward to faster leveling, and I'm only gonna be questing in pandaria :DComment by ShivhaMini dungeon, hm, what is itComment by Nikolas90It's gonna be hard to imagine leveling like this after 15 years ...Comment by LemantDarkfireHow does all of this change the recently added level sync feature?Comment by HarribooPandaria, I choose you!Comment by carlotah18i love the changes that blizzard are doing in shadowlands , i think it will be one of the bests expansions.Comment by MountaholicThis is gonna make lore master way easier so that is amazingComment by Iceman3317Going through an entire expansion's storyline without changing expansions will bring you pretty close to level 50Comment by KondeySounds great actually. Was afraid that it would mess everything up, but it seems like a good step forwardComment by Gloom"leveling from 1-50 in Shadowlands will be around 60-70% faster than it currently is to level from 1-120 in BFA"
Great. They did it.
Good start, thank you.Comment by HelioslunaThey mentioned leveling to 50 would be approx. 50-60% faster, I hope they mean that the new level 50 will be 50-60% faster than the current level 50 and not just 50-60% faster than the current level 120...that pace along with the new system of expansion leveling will make leveling alts actually enjoyable again!
