So I'm level eight right now. All I'm doing is walking around Elwynn Forest doing random quests that give more than 200 exp. Is there anyway to make this faster? Also, how soon can I leave the starting area (and by leave I mean not get anally ravaged by higher level monsters) and do stuff in other locations?
levelling is very slow for someone who doesnt have heirloom armor; you can make it a bit faster by learning gathering professions (mining/herbalism for example) and doing those in whatever zone you quest in currently. youll be able to queue for dungeons at level 15 and those help boost your xp a lot. also, pvp grants experience, though im not sure if its time efficient at lower levels (and youll definitely be at a disadvantage to twinks/people with heirlooms in low level pvp).if you press m and bring up your map, you can hover over the various zones on the continent and theyll have level ranges. once you hit level 11 youll be able to get level-appropriate quests from something called a "hero's call board;" i believe there's one in the middle of the trade district in stormwind.
Does it ever get very stagnant leveling after a certain point? Purchasing WoD gave me a free lvl 90 boost.

With all the expansions and shit, I don't think it's worth starting at this point.

I'm installing WoW right now
