After hitting level 70 on my ironman hunter and realising that due to red flag it won't update in the rankings anymore I had to make a choice - do I want to continue on that character, knowing that equipping rare item(s) was just my fault, missclick and that I really took them away instantly and pursue for level cap in a personal challenge or do I want to join in the race. And I knew that getting level cap on that red flagged hunter won't be even a tiny bit as satisfactioning as getting it on green flagged character. That was my Xth ironman, all hunters. I decided it's time to make a change - nowadays in Legion hunters get level 10 so insanely slow... their first ability deals 7 damage per shot at level 1. I've decided to roll a priest and oh boy what a quality change this isEvery priest's ability just shouts SAFETY!!!!. Smite gives you an absorb. PW:S gives you even more absorb. Plea gives you INSTANT HEALS. Even though I don't like casters in wow (maybe mage is ok but up to level 20 not more) but I instantly fell in love. Made my character Madamé and set a target of getting 1-30 in one day. Sadly, after getting level 28 I was ambushed by a level 100 monster in a questing hub in Raven Hill, instantly dying to a 5000 damage normal attack. Frustrated and mad I went to bed as it was deep night, but the next morning I knew I gotta try again. I got hooked. Created a new priest "Losther" to honor the previous one.

The Guild Coroner successfully retrieved Madamé's body. She was laid to rest in a nice plot over in Westfall. (Well, I say body, but after the 100 hit her, more like little bits and pieces.) Rest in Peace. Good to see you trying again !

I have been pretty busy with real life but squeezed leveling into every tiny bit of free time I had - I still hope for a place in that 110 race!!! Firstly, I have got a GM's response regarding Madamé, all the details inside: I'm pretty glad I decided on leveling a new char instead of drowning in sorrow, and here's the progress: I am getting really really close to that outland entrance level, and I would really like to avoid blasted lands completely because I'm anxious as hell about these level 100 monsters. What other leveling zone would you advise? I think I'll be around 58 when I'm done with Swamp of Sorrows and I think that's toooooo early for outland.

Blasted Lands mobs are 54-59 until you start the WoD content then they jump to 90+. You should be fine starting that and Silithus.

Un'goro could be another option (beware of the devilsaur queen). You could use some other toon to find those lvl 100 in Blasted Lands

Got my second reputation to exalted, this time it's Stormwind, which is good news because I just had to buy flying shorty after that and enjoyed full discounts And finally level 60! I felt very, very anxious of these artifact lvl 100 monsters so I skipped some quests in Blasted Lands and got from 59,5 to 60 with PvZ quest chain and daily. Now I'm flying over Outland but it feels very intense. I want to explore it all (so if you know any dismount spots let me know!) before questing for some free exp. Till next time!

On the plateau around Ogrila in Blade's edge, flak cannons will dismount you if you don't fly high enough (and plenty of baddies to kill you). There is also 2 flying lvl 70 dragons (one elite) that will attack you. There are 2 more flying dragon over Crystal Spine north of Grull's lair

Got to Hellfire Peninsula and very very carefully dinged 61, and then quit for a bit. Now, with Halloween around, I collected all buckets and hit 62 62 is a tiny image because WoW took just 1/4 of my screen, was collecting buckets on 2 accounts at the same time. At 62 Outland doesn't seem so scary anymore, but I'll keep my caution!

I was around two bars before level 63 as I took my long break and now I came back and resubscribed to enjoy both Lore daily and the Pilgrim's Bounty, plus I got some motivation to quest in Hellfire Peninsula, and finished it. Zangarmarsh, here I come!(tomorrow).

Beware the cave South of Umbrafen lake (Funggorn cavern I think). Many of us have encountered an 'invisible' mob that can kill you fast but you can't fight back, usually when using a pet but not always. Do not use any AOE in that cave, and if after killing a mob you are still in combat, get out of that cave fast.

Easy to skip, there is 2 quests that require you to go into the cave, and they don't open up any other quests. A third can be done while staying outside the cave
Edit : it can be done, just be careful. Did it on my current alliance rogue just recently

Thanks for all the info Xaya , I did the quest to kill 10/10 of two species of giants which was doable outside the cave and left the remaining two. Topic: Another two level ups tonight, started and almost done with Zangarmarsh, just one hub to go. Till next time!
