Pre-questing in Cataclysm is a little bit different than in previous expansions as there are more things to consider this time around than just getting to max level as quickly as possible.
I still think that pre-questing has a place in the leveling route for everyone who wants to sweat a little bit, regardless of what your goals are.

Great video! Thanks for the speadsheet! Been looking for one without a paywall☺️

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

Oh yeah no worries-- It's perhaps not as customized as some of the paid options, but will hopefully save some people $10 :D

@Apoxiosis Ай бұрын

this guide is actually so free. i just sat down and did the whole thing in a few hours

How can you have Proving Grounds outside Q log when you need the Banner for it?

@vicdum34 Ай бұрын

Great video! Why do you say "Proving Grounds" it's an extra quest ? You need to take the banner from AV ?

@hugginkiss-vw7sw Ай бұрын

was going thru quests and some of the xp rewards seem very off... one of a kind says it only reward 12.3k xp and the Alterac Valley one is almost nothing. Do values change with full cata drop?

@Killoea Ай бұрын

You did the raid/heroic dailies in Dalaran.... but will those quests give XP at launch if you have already done them many times before?

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

The daily heroics, yes, the weekly raid, no ☺️

@Apoxiosis Ай бұрын

the daily dungeon quests actually appear as yellow quests despite having done them already instead of daily blues, so i assume theyd give xp.

@720zone Ай бұрын

THANK YOU so much for this outstanding video and offering your spreadsheet - total baller. One question please, your XP values are higher than I'm seeing on wowhead. Ex. You list Proof of Demise: Threats to Azeroth at 48,510 and wowhead shows 44,100. Do you know why? Thanks again, Jeff.

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

No worries bud- glad you liked it! All quests should be 10% higher in the sheet than on Wowhead due to the 10% exp gain from the guild perk ☺️

So regarding the actual release time for Europe, is it like on the 21th of May at 7:00 AM in the Morning?

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

No its at midnight (CET) - the time on the right is when the daily reset is

@nachhilfegeben5958 Ай бұрын

hi @riyani im a big fan. but why do you hand in the dailies just at 81 and not immidiately? best

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

I'm a big fan of you! You can do it all immediately, but the route is more efficient since you have to go to org anyhow to get to Deepholm, so might as well turn in then instead of making two trips. Plus it's prob not a bad idea getting to Hyjal early since there'll be a few quests where you have to compete for resources.

@zeroxwarrior Ай бұрын

Haven’t seen video yet but my plan was to turn all the argent tourney and hodir dailies to the 25 limit and then go to hos till 82 then quest thru deepholm and twilight highlands. Imo go back to hyjal and vash when the rush is over to get the rep for the tabards later.

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

Yeah I was considering that, but personally want to knock out two birds with one stone since hyjal is such efficient rep; but for speed, that's probably the way to go.

on your sheet, where do you get the experience gain number from?

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

They are from Wowhead + 10% exp due to the guild perk.

@Apoxiosis Ай бұрын

at 2:58 it shows you porting to caverns of time to begin uldum, then immediately after going to do your deepholm intros. how far in uldum do you go? just until you ding 83?

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

If questing all the way, Hyjal 80-82, Deepholm 82-83 (or until done with all the quest), Uldum 83-84, Twilight Highlands 84-85 ☺️

Do you have to discover the instance entrance before you can queue for it in the dungeon finder in cata?

Luckily that feature was very short lived during OG Cata, and no, you will not have to explore the dungeons in classic.

Wouldn’t the quests from Violet Hold and Ankhat the old kingdom give bad XP since the quests are green at 80?

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

The VH and Ankhat quests actually give full exp, you can check the Wowhead link and adjust your level to check the exp gain if you scroll down. You do get reduced exp from the Azjol Nerub quests, but they'll still be solid exp (the exp outlined in the sheet)

I'll be at work for the first few hours of cata release so doing the 2mil RXP route while still at work is a huuuge speed gain. So many haters assume the prequesting is being done by people speed running

you can get a 10th daily at argent crusade if you get the kraken quest

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

This is true!

@Quettesh Ай бұрын

Prequesting is not needed at all. You will have more experience, but you will get to Hyjal later with almost no chance of getting ahead in the zone, which would make your questing way faster. There is enough experience in the Cata zones so some extra experience will make no difference.

@Jom1331 Ай бұрын

Let people think they smart and special

@Riyaniwow Ай бұрын

I mean, I don't think anyone thinks prequesting is needed, optimizing this kind of stuff is just fun for some people (including myself). If you're worried about falling behind, then 2/3 strats in the vid will take care of that.

@xXZarlithXx Ай бұрын

Or just wait till 81 and a half then hand in to skip the end of hyjal to get an early start in deepholm

@DownsyMB Ай бұрын

You can hand in, then dungeon spam to get to 82 and reach deepholm before anyone else.
