In today’s post I will talk about the first major goal that players will strive to achieve in World of Warcraft: Achieving the level cap of 120. There are many ways to go about doing this, from doing quests to diving into dungeons with some of your friends. You can even choose to take up arms against members of the opposing faction in battlegrounds or arena matches. In addition to those that I have listed there are even more countless ways that you can gain experience towards your goal in Azeroth. In the following paragraphs we will discuss the options listed above in further detail.
The most utilized form of leveling in WoW is questing. Questing can involve a multitude of different things, but it always starts by picking up a quest, or mission, from an NPC (Non player character) that is marked with a yellow exclamation point above them. A quest can have you do a multitude of things from collecting items around town, to scaring off bandits that are attacking villagers and everything in between. Whatever the quest has you doing, the reward is usually the same: Experience toward your next level, and gold and better gear for your character.
Dungeons are another great way to level up with friends and others. A dungeon involves plowing through a number of enemies on your way to facing the final boss of the dungeon. The rewards from dungeons are great amounts of experience and very powerful and rare gear. Battlegrounds are events that you play with other members of your faction against players from the other faction. Battlegrounds are very competitive but the experience rewards and money you receive from completing them can be great depending on how well you performed in the battleground.
