Realm First lvl 85, How to get ready?

Hey guys, this is Hotted again and this time we’re going to talk about getting 85 as quick as possible so we can start gearing for season 9 that’s starting only 7 DAYS after the release of Cataclysm!There are so many ways to get to lvl 85 but i will tell you the fastest way to do it and give you aditional tips on how to stay awake, what to do to be efficient and  ultimately getting your server first

 

First off let’s start with what you can do now:

 

There are 5 major Daily Hubs in Northrend :Sons of Hodir (1) Icecrown(2/3),Wintergrasp (4), and Dalaran (5).

Sons of Hodir:

 

You probably used to do their infamous dailies to get exalted so you could get your shoulder enchant since it was the only one available PvE wise and as soon as you hit exalted you never visited that cold place again.

Anyways, this is the first place to get started.  After you hand out those quests use your argent tabard and start handing the quests showed on the map or pay a mage 100g before the release so he immediately ports u to Dalaran which will save you around 2minutes of fly time and you can get your Azeroth flying skill really quick and turn in your profession dailies. Your next destination will be Wintergrasp. Wintergrasp grants you about 100k for those quests so save them up so you can turn them in next week. After that is done,  head to the Icecrown alliance/Horde Boat turns those dailies and finally your argent tournament dailies. It should take you an estimate 5minutes for about 500-600k XP (35-40% of a lvl).

Why am i talking about minutes?

 

The SECOND that the servers are up, everything is going to be swarmed, specially since you can predownload the game and be ready in your PC ready to go. Turning the dailies in can give you a really nice bonus , but can set you back if you don’t hurry up.

 

Now we get to the part of lvling in azeroth! There are two places to start questing which are Hyjal and Vashj’ir are the initial places. These places will be flooded by people so flask up, and start tagging all the mobs you can get without getting yourself killed of course. This area will be a gankfest in the PvP server and bring a lot of frustrations for the WoW players (imagine 10.000 people questing in the same zone).

 

To avoid all this stress you can do what i will be doing, which is running BRC ( Blackrock Caverns until 82 and jumping Hyjal/Vashj’ir  and going straight into deepholm. The quests alone inside the instance give you almost half a lvl and with all those dailies saved up you will get to 85 in no-time. After this you can choose between two paths:

-Instancing to 85 ( only recommended if you have 5 non retard friends that can kill bosses fast).

- Jumping the initial quest zone at lvl 82 and go straight to Deepholm/Uldum.

 

I’m personally choosing option number 2 because skipping that zone, and lvling in Deepholm with your 5 friends owning that territory is basically priceless.

After that it should be cake to get your realm first or at least the top 10 85’s and you can start getting ready for the new arena season coming up on DEC 14th.

 

NOTE: Remember that your entire group needs to discover the entrance before you can actually start queuing..

What many people don’t know is that you can actually discover it now. I will link a video at the end showing you how to get there so your entire group is ready to go.

 

Another thing that is quite important are the Role Play initial Quest Chains. These quest chains usually start on a sign in front of the major cities ( like on the image below) and you will need to complete them before  you are able to start on the zone ( hearth to SW or Org after you hit 82 and start the deepholm prequest).

 

Here’s all to the game side of reaching to lvl 85… But sadly, we’re not made out of pixels so we need to take care ourselves and try to prolong the maximum amount of energy possible in order to stay awake until we hit 85, so here are some advices on what to eat during that long sitting: ( one of my guildiesknows about this stuff and basically told me a few tips that i’ll share with you) :p :

 

Food:
1. Prepare 2-3 days of food in advance and stock it in the fridge.
2. Whatever solid food you can eat with a spoon is ideal.
3. If you can stand drinking your food from a blender, more power to you. (If you are cool with plugging in an IV for your nourishment, even more power to you! ^_^)
4. Stuff like mashed potatoes and chopped vegetables work. Personally I’m gonna make rice and a bunch of different dishes w/ ground pork or beef. (also, chicken is easier to break down than pork, which is easier to break down than beef)
5. Stay away from a lot of carbohydrates / processed sugar. A big plate of pasta causes your bloodsugar levels to spike, then in turn your pancreas release a lot of insulin to lower it. After that 30min-1h your bloodsugar level will be lower due to the over-release of insulin and leaves you feeling more tired. Serotonin from the sugar adds to the effect. Stuff like candy / chocolate are worse.
6. Eat once every 4 hours to keep your metabolism active. That’s 6 times every 24 hours.
7. *BABY CARROTS are amazing to keep your energy level up because they are high in natural sugar. Just keep a bag next to keys and eat them occasionally in between your meals.

Drink:
1. Red Bull, Rockstar and etc are terrible. They put your body on overdrive for 4 hours then you are spent for the rest.
2. Tea is ideal albeit weaker than coffee. I like the taste of coffee better so I’ll probably drink that.
3. I’d also recommend Nestea’s Iced Tea (in the southern states I think they are called sweet tea)
4. Orange juice is good. Try to opt for that instead of coke/pepsi etc.
5. If you really can’t keep your eyes open, add coffee into coke/pepsi. Drink that ( i laughed when he said this ) and you are good for at least another 3 hours.

Fellow druids, abuse flight form, and play the spec you know best.. if you have feral gear i’d tell you to lvl as feral since the mana for moonkin will eventually bite you in the a** and you can solo Elite Mobs as feral! D:

 

I hope you enjoyed my wall of text and below you will find the video of how to get to BRC before Cataclysm is out! Happy leveling!
