WoW Forever is out, and the race to sixty is on. Here's every way to level faster, with the real numbers behind each one. It all comes from Blizzard's notes, Wowhead, Icy Veins and the in-game tooltips. Number one, and it's the big one: rested experience. While you're rested, every kill gives double experience. Quest turn-ins don't get the bonus, but kills do. You build it by logging out in an inn or a capital city: five percent of a level for every eight hours.

It stacks up to a level and a half, thirty bubbles on your bar, and that takes about ten days offline. So always log out somewhere rested. Playing alts? Park each one in an inn. Number two: spend your Legacy points on Well Rested. Legacy is Forever's account-wide talent system. Your first point comes at level twenty-five, or at skill one fifty in a crafting profession. Each rank of Well Rested builds rested XP four percent faster and raises the cap by four percent.

All five ranks: twenty percent. Number three: get the Cozy Sleeping Bag. Lie in it for a minute and you get one percent more experience from everything. Stay three minutes for three percent, and the buff survives death. It's also a rested spot, so you can log out in the wild and keep earning rested XP. The quest chain starts at level fourteen. Alliance, at the Alexston Farmstead in Westfall. Horde, south of Camp Taurajo in the Barrens.

It sends you across both continents. Wowhead timed it at about an hour and a half for Alliance, a little longer for Horde, with good quest XP on the way. Wowhead's math: from fifty to sixty, that three percent saves you about a hundred and sixty kills. Number four: eat cooked food. Most cooked food makes you Well Fed, and in Forever that adds five percent experience from kills for fifteen minutes. You have to sit and eat for ten seconds, and the buff is gone if you die.

Cooking starts around level five, with the quest The Great Outdoors. And the Gourmand Legacy perk makes food buffs last up to twice as long. Number five: camp. Your cooking trainer sells Simple Wood and Flint and Tinder for a basic campfire. Sit by it for a minute to get the camp's buffs. The one that matters for leveling is the leatherworker's Camp Tent. Sit near it and your rested XP is topped up to five percent of a level.

It takes Leatherworking twenty and five Light Leather, and it does nothing if you already have more rested than that. Camp features share a one-hour cooldown, so drop a tent between quest hubs, or find someone else's camp and sit down. Number six: run dungeons the smart way. Grab every dungeon quest before you zone in. Most of a dungeon's experience is in its quests. And on November eighth, Blizzard raised kill experience in dungeons by fifty percent, so a second run is finally worth it.

Group with players near your level. Party experience is worked out for each player, and someone far above the group drags it down. There's no Dungeon Finder in Forever. Post your group in the Group Finder, then head to the meeting stone. Number seven: keep your quests at your level. Quests five or more levels below you lose ten to twenty percent of their experience for every extra level, and grey monsters give nothing.

In a group, kill experience is split, but a full party gets forty percent extra to share. And quest rewards aren't split at all. Now stack it. Rested doubles your kills. Food adds five percent, the sleeping bag three more, and they all run at once. Do each dungeon's quests, go back for the kill XP, and log out in an inn every night. That's how to level faster in WoW Forever. For more guides, follow Azeroth After Dark.

See you at sixty.
