World of Warcraft is a very fun game, and there are
two schools of thought that people go by when it comes to leveling up
characters. Grinding is one method that I will explain first, and the
other method is through questing.
Grinding simply means running
around in an area that is close to your character's level and killing
whatever happens to be running around there. These computer regenerated
parts of the game will drop certain items for you, and also give you
experience points, which work to level up your character. There are
some good points to this method, as it allows you to pick up items that
you can sell on the Auction House, as well as to vendors in the nearby
town. One recommendation that I can give you for using this method is
to save your money and buy the largest bags you can afford to help you
in collecting items as you grind. Killing enemies that are higher in
level will give more experience, but you may wear down your gear
faster, and also take a greater chance of being killed during the
battle. Always keep an eye on your surroundings, to make sure you don't
draw too much attention from other enemies. It is always good to keep
potions on hand to restore your health during an emergency, and also
keep food and water with you to rebuild your energy faster in between
fights. If your character has special abilities to help keep you alive
during battle, use them wisely, as most have a cooldown time that will
prevent you from using it too often.
Questing is a method of
leveling a character that involves completing the quests that are set
up in the game for you. Most of these quests will give you a lot of
experience, and many are a lot of fun to complete. As with the grinding
method, make sure to keep plenty of food and water with you as you
quest, and sometimes it helps to take along a group of people to
complete the quest together. This part of the game is fun, and allows
you to play with other members of the community. Many quests may
involve the above methods of grinding because you are looking for items
that certain animals drop, or you may be in an area where you will be
fighting to collect the quest items.
I have found that people get
the most enjoyment out of questing, and using grinding for experience
very little. If you use questing for most of your experience points,
you will get much more enjoyment from the game, and will get to see
much more of Azeroth.
