3 Hours to Level 70 With No Combat or Quests: the Earthen Exploration Method Is Getting Faster!

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We’ve already talked about the crazy new Earthen racial, Wide-Eyed Wonder iconWide-Eyed Wonder, a couple of times. Players have been using it to get some seriously fast level 70ies and head directly into the War Within campaign/World Quests. Well, now we have a new fastest time, and it’s pretty much as fast or faster than any other normal method!

A New Best

There isn’t that much to this leveling method aside than the routes. Where exactly to go to get the smoothest exploration experience path is the only relevant thing here. Luckily for us, CoyoteCael had already planned all this out before the Earthen were even a thing!

Cael decided to level through exploration only quite a while back, with just regular characters. Using this route knowledge, Cael was set to destroy the leveling speed with an Earthen, and here are the results. The actual route starts at 02:54 if you just want to jump in and check out where to go.

So it was 3 hours and 22 minutes, but with plenty of mistakes along the way. Much faster times are absolutely possible, and we’ll definitely be seeing them soon.

Details, Tips and Misconceptions

There’s also this very useful post from naggert going into some tips and tricks for this leveling method. The highlights are:

  • Chromie Time is a must.
  • Warmode and Warband XP bonuses do not work.
  • Darkmoon Faire buff does not work.
  • Rested XP does not work.
  • You’ll need to get some gear ASAP once you get to 70.

Cael also posted this follow-up video, going over common questions and misconceptions about the method:

So good luck leveling a whole bunch of Earthen, and don’t forget to enjoy the views!
