Leveling 12-20

Any reason I'm going to Silverpine Forest instead of doing the Barrens?

[Alexdacrazy]

Ah. I see it brings me to Barrens later. It seems odd to briefly go to Silverpine, then back to Barrens.

Reasoning behind that decision?

The Barrens alone doesn't have enough quests to allow you to level without grinding a lot. We mixed in Silverpine to allow you to level with questing instead of mindlessly grinding, which most people find really boring, even if it's efficient.

is this actually faster than grinding though? maybe an option in the addon to allow people to indicate their preference for quest gaps

1) Fly to another zone for minimal amount of quests
2) Grind
3) Dungeon (some dungeons are not too bad if u are willing to pug it, WC alone has like 6 quests you can get done together, although it might take multiple runs)

I was wondering why I am spending so much time running over to silverpine.

This is odd to me. Once it told me to go to Silverpine I turned off Zygor, and continued questing in barrens. I'm 21 now and haven't had to grind anything for levels. I've been overwhelmed with quests in the Barrens. I will also add that I have done RFC and WC once, and turned in roughly 5 quests for RFC and 2 quests for WC.

Yeah, if you're running multiple dungeons, and doing dungeon quests which give a lot of experience, that's basically the same as grinding on mobs for long periods of time. So that makes sense. We designed the guides to level you with pure solo questing, with a little grinding mixed in.
