Just got myself a cool half a million exp without ever fighting a mob So thought I'd share for Notso and Telzey if they're reading! 1. (suitable for 82+) I went into Deepholm, flew around the entire zone for discovery exp, plus did the breadcrumb quests to talk to people, and the quest to investigate the Masters Gate, no killing needed on that one. 2. (84+) I took the Twilight Highlands intro chain up, turns out running around Stormwind with Anduin is pretty riskfree and very profitable. The quest to investigate the missing cows, Unholy Cow, has a little trick to it that I saw mentioned on wowhead - if you stay on your flying mount, and hover in the air, the cultists will spawn in midair and hover, but won't be able to attack you. Just hover around and wait (for safety I moved away each time they appeared), after some time they despawn and you get quest credit. Did that chain up to The Old Barracks, which I know does involve killing so I stopped there (I recall when I did it on my non-iron character having trouble with adds so definitely not trying it on this one!), but that was several very easy quests in total safety. Edit: Got almost another 300k exploring Twilight Highlands, lots of subzones, most of which are worth 6940 exp, very nice safe exp there.

I did not see this earlier, but yes, I've done those similar. Also, childrens week is good for just under one million exp. The old barracks quest is very nasty. I will probably attempt it again, but I will have to change to my bear pet again. The cat can't hold aggro.
I haven't flown Twilight highlands yet though.
84.72 and still have Vashjir quests available. Ah play it safe or go for the gold.?

Childrens Week came at the perfect time for me, right when I was lvl 84 and so got the maximum exp from it Other good exp came from the Kalu'ak quest "The Way To His Heart" and my Winterspring cub daily; both scale with your lvl so were giving me 55k by lvl 84, for no risk at all by that stage! I didn't finish Hyjal or Vash'jir in the end, deliberately left Hyjal when I wasn't sure of one quest, and dinged before I hit the end of Vash'jir, should be handy for levelling in MoP anyway, having plenty of quests available. In your position I'd go for finishing Vash'jir, but, carefully hehe, good luck!

The really good thing with those chests, is they aren't hit by the exp nerf as soon as you ding 80; you still get full exp from Northrend chests no matter what level you are. It was kinda disheartening finding a rare spawn at 80 and getting 1500 exp for it lol, but at least chests were giving me about 40k!

I was afraid they would also get the 90% xp nerf after 80, it sure takes a load off my mind knowing that they don't. I've been finding roughly 3-4 of these things a day and I'm loving them! ;D

hmm, i haven't found any of the chests. It would be nice to see a few if they give good exp. otherwise it's just grinding in hyjal. I tried the barracks quest again last night and had to drop it. Rabid can't stand up to them and rolls over like a dead bear.

I'm going to be doing a post on my blog within the next few days with more detailed information on where/how to find them, but in the meantime -- gathermate is awesome!

I'll leave this one here. Thieving Little Pluckers (Uldum Daily) can be done at 83 without opening the Uldum portal, you just have to fly in from Tanaris. If stationed in Dalaran don't forget about the CoT portal like I did . The thieves hit for about 1k on Telzey's cloth if I was a bit too slow with the hammer but nothing bad nor avoidable. 32k exp at 83

I'd like to note for anyone playing horde that our winterspring cub daily equivalent (Revnomhide Ravasaur Chain) does NOT give any experience, so don't bother.

Other good exp came from the Kalu'ak quest "The Way To His Heart" Have the other two Kalu'ak dailies disappeared in some patch? I also did Planning for the Future www.wowhead.com/quest=11960 and Preparing for the Worst www.wowhead.com/quest=11945 with my main long time ago. According to Wowhead they still exist and give XP
