wow Easy and Low-Effort, 3-Button 50-60 Leveling Method

[Starym 3,800]

 

If you have a ton of alts you want to try out and don't feel like putting in too much effort, here's a not too slow and very easy way to get from 50 to 60!

MoffiSlayer found a spot in Ardenweald where you can easily 3-button chill farm player XP via a pet battle, but you might need the Iron Starlette and some pet bandages. It's probably doable with  other pets as well, but this one gets the job done in 2 rounds, so it's the optimal choice. It's a pretty good option if you have something else to do/watch a show or movie, or even at work as some players noted (via remote desktop tools and similar), as it's a very brainless side-activity.

 

This will earn you about 195K XP per hour, so you'll need about 14-15 hours to get from 50 to 60, which actually isn't that bad at all considering the regular way will probably take about 10 for a relatively chill playthrough, except that requires actual focus.

 The pet battle is located in Ardenweald at 40, 64.4.

Personally I would rather get loot and gold by doing the boring quests over and over and over 🙂

I'm all for more ways to get to max level in a timely manner. This though, seems especially tedious.

A great spot/strat to level up your battle pets, but man, of all the ways to level a character, that has to be one of the most boring.  Hard pass.

you can use Tranquil Mechanical Yeti for 3-button win as well : Mechanical Fist->Call Lightning->Ion Cannon.

I agree w/ Wildwitch this could be very boring way to make 60, also you will end up without any anima reserves (my new L60's got usualy about 5K anima ready and can build basic conductor, command table and ie transport/special building as soon as hit 60) so pet battle leveling is not that great. But still, I use pet battles to make fast final ie 50-100K XP if I don't want to start new quest chain/go dung so this 3-button fight could be pretty good choice.

Time to delete your alts if that's how you want to level them.

When I level I usually dungeon spam - and this is a great thing to do to pass the time while waiting on dungeon groups.  Better than laps around Oribos...

doing island expeditions will be more efficient than this one

I wish laps around Oribos would actually give XP. I'd have all the alts.

The information provided here is not completely accurate. This pet battle requires 3 rounds, not 2. May not seem like much until you spend a few hours doing this. Second, pet speed leveling alts has been a thing for some time and is much faster than traveling/questing when set up correctly. However, it's best to do it during pet battle bonus week when you can also level your pet collection at the same time using one or two pet leveling strategies. The best repeatable ones are probably Rydyr only at Beasts of Burden world quest in Stormheim because it takes about 30 seconds per battle(approximately 480k alt XP per hour), Sir Galveston in Dalaran which rewards more pet XP, or Super Squirt in your garrison which has a pet healer behind you so no bandages are required and good XP. If you set up tdscripts and the Rematch addon you can prepare 3 identical teams and do 3 battles in a row anywhere without the need for reviving until all three teams have been used. Each time you complete two pet battles at Sir Galveston during bonus week, for example, your level 1 pet will be maxed at level 25. And, Rematch can be set to automatically queue the next pet for leveling. Also, using tdscripts means you only have to press one key repeatedly to do each battle. Additionally, some things that will speed up leveling of both pets and alts is to complete the Taming the World achievement for the Safari hat toy(+10% XP when equipped), using pet treats, setting rematch to auto load teams and to "load healthiest pet" in options for the 3 identical teams speed leveling, and getting xp buffs or items such as the darkmoon tophat or riding the roller coaster before leveling. Strategies/teams can be cut and pasted directly in Rematch. Strategies, teams, and information are available from wow-petguide.com. Pet bandages, treats, and stones are account bound so you can mail them to your alts. Lastly, for those without a large pet collection who just want to get pet battle world quests done quickly try using a team of all level 1 pets because the enemy will scale with the highest pet in your team(most achievements do require max level pets though).

While I'm sure that's all accurate, it seems like a LOT of prep time, if you're doing this afk while watching or even doing something else, the fact it's a little faster or slower doesn't seem that big of a deal.

I've put a few levels on one character via pet battles (collected the wild ones and the dailies) in Shadowlands - you get close to 13K xp against the WQ daily and 4K+ against wild caught.  This also worked going back and collecting some in BfA.  It might work for any zone?

It's a change of pace and saves from repeating the same limited WQs available pre-60.

It's some of the fastest alt leveling possible atm. World of Warcraft pet battling is no longer a novelty game within the game. Pet battling now is a valuable activity to invest game time into. Pet collecting and battles can help players level characters more quickly, earn reputation with factions, experience quest chains otherwise unavailable, collect mounts, toys, and pets to add to collections, complete daily activities quicker, earn achievements, add value to participating in annual and weekly events, battle in pet dungeons, PVP pet battles, PVP pet duels, discover and participate in secret content, earn game time and blizz cash to purchase future expansion, mounts, pets, and other games by selling pets at auction to exchange for WoW tokens, and more. Pets have become BIG business in wow. It's not difficult to get it set up for speed leveling alts. And, once you do it you're done and everything is on autopilot from then on... so to speak. Each to their own. It's not for everyone. But there's way more added value to it nowadays than many players realize.

Here's something to try: Take a new alt to northern barrens and park it at the pet battler Crysa. Log onto it every now and then just to do the pet battle(teams available at website in previous post). When you get a rare Albino Buzzard reward drop auction it by caging it on your main. Rinse and repeat. Your alt will level up quickly. And, you'll earn decent gold for the couple minutes invested each log on. Tons of those kinds of activities available through pet battles with big reward vs. time invested.

Look, man, I'm really high up on my server for pet score and the more people you encourage to get into it is more people who I have to keep up with.  All my pets are 25 and rare- the only way to raise my score is to buy more off the auction house - and I don't want to have to resort to spending tens of thousands of gold to get more pets.  

Pet battles need to be *secret*.  My big fish/small pond life is comfortable and I won't have you threatening it.

That said, you may be fighting a losing battle - people who don't like pet fights realllly don't like pet fights.
