Level 1-50 in 7 Hours on Shadowlands Alpha, Possible in 5

Recommended Posts

gHH1Jpc.jpg
 

Well, it seems the trip to the 120 equivalent in Shadowlands is getting pretty short, as DesMephisto has shortened his previous best of 12 hours 16 minutes to 6 hours 55 minutes, and thinks it's doable in 5 with a few more buffs he missed. This time around he improved his route a little bit, but more importantly used the 30% War Mode buff as well as 30% from heirlooms (and was even missing the pants and rings due to to time constraints), and there was no9 10% XP potion either.

Here are some comments from the man himself:

Quote

I think 5 hours is doable for speedrunning with consumables, full exp, etc. I'm a bit worried about how fast it is to level. 8-9 hours with heirlooms feels about right to me - maybe - as in for myself specifically.
...
With the exp buffs I did 99% of Tirgarde and like 35% of Drustvar and 2 war campaign quests.
...
This is approximately around the 100% exp buff we currently have on retail now, it likely will only change by 10-30% in exp gains is my guess. 1-50 is the new 1-110 which is approximately 10ish hours with 110-120 taking about 3hours. FOR myself, but we're not talking about me we're talking about casual players, so I def think 16 hours will easily be doable for everyone.

It seems very likely these number will be further tuned, as DesMephisto mentions, but it remains to be seen how fast Blizzard actually want people to level. The current XP buff is a very specific thing related to the circumstances at play now, and Shadowlands leveling might not be intended to be quite this fast, as 1.3 zones worth of old content doesn't seem right.  As it's the first implementation of the Alpha the number might just be very rough estimates and personally I'd say they're definitely going to go up, but we'll see.

s that correct? I mean wasn't it 10% now?

I think it depends of your shard and the number of player of the same faction with the WM on  , alliance is often at 15% or 30% and i never saw the horde one change.

Yes thats true, i checked his stream and he even said 10% bonus. Also i thought the factionbonusdifference was only for worldquests and not for experiencegain. Good to know, but i still only have one alliancecharacter to see storystuff and so on.

I wonder if that's enough time to get to experience the whole expansion you choose to level through, even with out heirlooms and warmode this dude got done in a zone and 1/3 that would be like hitting cap halfway through zangarmarsh or valley of the four winds. as fun as it sounds leveling in 5 hours they really gotta fix that and make sure you end at least halfway through last zone of expansion.

Oh please for god's sake, don't pamper the alliance again with 30% buff. They are not going to participate in fare WM even if you give them 100% buff, they'll just turn off WM for the entire week after getting their free gear.

I know I'm probably going to regret not taking advantage of these buffs but been working on a few Tanking alts of mine through keystones; Protection Paladin, Guardian Druid, and Blood Death Knight.

Also trying to get cloaks upgrade to 10-15 on the Fury Warrior, Beastmaster Hunter, and Mistweaver Monk.

Other 120's collecting dust atm....Assassination Rogue, Shadow Priest, Demonology Warlock, Elemental Shaman, and Frost Mage.

All my Alliance lowbies that I'm just currently not interested in playing or leveling since the start of this expansion that are currently stuck at Lv.20 or less.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
