Good luck with the cataclysm zones now! Thank you! I don't think I will be going before 81 though. Haven't seen you in guild much recently, hope your char is still going strong.

Questing at level 80, I did a variety from Zul Drak, Storm Peaks (K3) did some of the questline for the blue ladies and then did a few up in Icecrown (from the airship) to open up Shadow Vault. I had a nasty scare on the Savage Ledge (the quest where you have to duel) it was all going ok when my pet got knocked back and agroed another pack so they all came charging at me, so I hit shadowmeld and they all went after the pet, killed it then came back at me, took a couple hits then used feign death and finally was free of them with a tiny slither of life left, a real heart in the mouth moment! Since then, I've reached 81 and moved on to Mt Hyjal trying the first few quests from Nordrassil which went surprisingly well, so not sure if the continue there or go back to Northrend.

... I've reached 81 and moved on to Mt Hyjal ... A level 81 Iron questing in a level 80-82 zone seems like a death wish to me.

Yes it did feel like I shouldn't be there, however the first few quests felt relatively easy and the mobs were dying fairly quick, but I guess now is not the right time to start geting over confident, so I'll head back to Northrend.

Did a few more quests back in Northrend to open up the dailys from Shadow Vault in Icecrown and I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy the mobs dropped with me being 81, almost 1 shotting stuff. I didn't pay attention to how much the stats increased from lvl 80 to lvl 81 but my char feels a heck of a lot stronger in Northrend now and the quest hand ins are giving around 12k exp so not too bad. I was going to open up the sons of hodir quest hub for the dailys, but I'm not sure if I can open them up without skipping the 'blue lady' quest where you have to use the harpoon to jump from drake to drake to kill mobs. I have had a previous bad experience with this quest failing - it was a long way down!

I have had a previous bad experience with this quest failing - it was a long way down! at 61 you one-shot just about everything in Blasted lands or Silithus, at 71 you one-shot everything in Outlands, at 81 just about everything in Northrend and at 86 just about everything in Cata. I haven't really checked Pandaria at 91 since Legion or Draenor at 101 And the sons of Hodir requires you to do the dragon jumping quest. If you open those dailies, there is one quite dangerous where you have to kill the dragon in midflight ( Thrusting Hodir's spear), I suggest to skip that one

Thanks Xaya, well I did the quest where you jump from drake to drake and was able to complete it without any bother phew! it was a scary ride though and got the adrenalin pumping lol. I got the next quest off Thorim and then hearthed back to Dalaran so I can continue with it later. Whilst in daredevil mode I did the start quest to open up Deepholm also for later. I've also done a few quests up at the Argent Tournament, helping me to ding lvl 82 and giving me plenty to do for now in Northrend.

Things are going quite well at the moment just doing dailys in the Shadow Vault (IC), Argent Tournament (IC) and Dun Niffelem (Sons of Hodir in Storm Peaks). Now up to level 84! Just a little sidenote, I had a quick look up in SW keep to see the king for the start up quest for Twilight Highlands and as I had suspected they have done away with the Prince Anduin running around the harbor etc quests and it goes straight to the dwarven guy at the docks for the flight to TH.

Made it to lvl 85! but the Northrend daily quest hand ins have dropped from 12k xp to just 4k, so now may be the time to venture out into Mt Hyjal.

Well I picked up a few quests from Mt Hyjal and they were only worth 4k exp, so I went back to Northrend and did another round of dailys there. There isn't any point taking a risk with questing in Hyjal for the same exp, so I guess it's going to be a long slog to the next level! but at level 86 the Cata zones should be less risky.

Finally Peachez made it to level 86, so I can move away from Northrend, although I will probably continue with Argent Tournament as I'm working on SW rep, nearly exalted! Had a quick look at Tol Barad dailys, and mobs are 85 so I'll return to them later.

I've now moved on to lvl 87 with a mixture of quests, some Argent Tournament rep dailys which were still giving around 3k per hand in, also doing some general questing in Hyjal, Uldum and also the quests to open the portal to Twilight Highlands. Right now there is also the opportunity to grab some bonus exp from the candy buckets thanks to the Halloween world event.

Careful of Twilight Highlands Towny, that place can be rough. I usually just explored and opened up all of the FP's there. I choose to get my xp elsewhere.

Thanks for your advice ash. So far I've only done the initial quests to open up the portal to SW, I wont be doing much else there then I never really liked the place when questing there on normal chars!
