Leveling Speed?

I thought it was said that come 6.0, leveling jobs would be faster to like 80, or so. But, in the recent live letter it looked as though this is not the case after all. Can someone confirm either way?

I can't confirm, but how much faster does it need to be? As it is, I rarely hit a wall when leveling just off the MSQ. As for alt jobs, between fates, side quests, beast tribe dailies, and roulettes, leveling goes pretty quickly. I'm not convinced that this even needs to be changed. If I wanted to play a game that let me level an alt in a matter of hours, I'd still be playing WoW.

As it is it takes about a week to go from 1-80 if you're grinding... how much faster does it need to be?

There is an armoury bonus of 100% for alts between level 1-69. What they probably meant is that the armoury bonus of 50% between level 70-79 will be increased to 100%.

Why have leveling at all if it needs to be any quicker? Its nowhere near horrible than it could/used to be and even then it wasnt bad.

Well, 70-80 is a pain since there is no PotD or HoH version. With the increases in level cap you have to shorten the exp reqs every so often or players wont want to invest the time to go from 1-90, 1-100, etc... Plus they stated something about shorting it I thought.

All this talk of a week. I would be happy with just 3 days lol. Leveling should not be that big of a deal.

It used to take months/years to level things in mmos, a week is literally nothing.

I didn't find 70-80 and worse than previous leveling, tho I also leveled without potd or HoH, so... It's very much not needed.


And isn't bozja the new leveling area?

As I said, the 100% armoury bonus will be extended from 1-69 to 1-79 from the current 50%. The thing like PoTD and HoH is Bozja.

You have Bozja at 71, it is a great alternative to level up. The moment they announced Reaper/Sage lots of people joked with the instance being filled with them.
Either way it is not hard/long to level.
The roulette gives decent chunk of exp from Frontline, Levelling, Alliance and MSQ. You have Trust if you want to casual level up without queue and worries etc

Unless they mentioned something about those in changes
