How Alt Leveling Works in Dragonflight

Recommended Posts

51229-the-leveling-expert-on-the-new-hei

Dragonflight does not include Threads of Fate, but we've got some details on how alt leveling works in the new expansion.

Leveling Your Main Character

Leveling up the first character is linear, and you must complete the zones in the following order:

The Waking Shores > Ohn'ahran Plains > The Azure Span > Thaldraszus.

Leveling Your Alts

When you complete the Dragonflight campaign on your main character, you can pick any of the four Dragon Isles zones for leveling and you will have World Quests and Side Quests unlocked on your alts.

Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

they should really add a 50% bonus XP to an account after it's first character hits level cap.

Did they get rid of heirloom xp buffs? I feel like that, on top of holiday/darkmoon buffs or other item buffs from old expansions, has always made leveling alts plenty fast.

It's been a few years now (i guess since shadowlands launch?) that heirlooms don't give bonus XP anymore.
They give bonus rested XP, but that's it, and not very good when you want to level your character right away

I can get behind this and it would feel awesome instead of the long drawn out of leveling that SL featured.

To be fair, when they nerfed heirlooms they also massively buffed base exp gains to compensate. Even without the heirloom exp bonus leveling is just as fast, or even faster than it was before.

Considering the gold spent on those heirlooms and to upgrade them, the xp boost should still be there....I never understand why they nerfed them in the first place, players spent alot of gold on them, they should have stayed powerful, even today....cause right now, heirlooms are rubbish....they level up every 4 levels, instead of every level, i just don't see the point in them anymore, if there was an option for a refund of gold, as in 100% refund, i would instantly go for it.

I just don't use the heirlooms anymore.....they are rubbish now and not worth the gold they cost.

Heirlooms offer consistent gear throughout leveling so, they are still viable and useful, especially for those that simply quest to level and avoid dungeons unless they are part of a questline. I do agree that stripping the xp buff is poor form. The only reason I bothered to purchase all the heirlooms was for the xp buff.

I constantly get better gear than the heirlooms....from questing and after levelling 3 more times, it gets better again, then i get something that replaces it again.....it got to the point that i never noticed a difference from heirlooms and no heirlooms.

I didn't say it was better, just consistent for those that choose to quest over dungeons.

Considering the price of them, THEY SHOULD BE BETTER.

Which price? The Timewarped Badges price? The Marks of Honor price? The Darkmoon Faire Prize Ticket price? The Brewfest Prize Token price? The Love Token price? The Burning Blossom price? The Coin of Ancestry price? The Tricky Treat price? The gold price where the cost of previous ranks drops each time a new top rank is added?

Irrelevant, the heirlooms now are not even worth the gold it costs right now.

But it's not.. Consistent in what ??
For leveling a ton (litterally an army) of alts, I've got better gear from quest (as it's said earlier). Meaning green gear is better. Making heirlooms unconsistent gear. You have to overleveling gear by 3-4 levels at least to get the equivalent with heirlooms..

This happen everytime with quests but not only, with random loot too. And I'm only talking about this because you're talking about questing without dungeons. But imagine with dungeons, the difference is even bigger.

That said, the poor and nosense scaling + stats/level squish is responsible. You even can get worst gear several levels later than a random piece you get earlier. It's current to get absolutely NO extra stat on an epic proc (from green) to a quest reward.

The truth is that the actual leveling stats/level squish is nothing more than a huge mess. That's why they're on it for Dragonflight. I hope they'll fix this mess.

So don't use gold. Also, with as many times as Winds of Wisdom gets turned on a year, and the ease of Chromie Time, if you need an xp buff on the heirloom gear on top of all of that? Just buy a damn boost already you lazy sod.

this has happened to me, I can't find a way to go back and get the adventuring quest, so the scouting map isn't available for me.

      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.
