It's also good to hold off on crafting because leves are far and away the best way to level. Wait until they stack up to near the max of 100, buy or craft the necessary turn-in items in bulk, and just go nuts. Same applies for levelling gathering, it's good to just burn through a ton of leves really quickly if you want to level fast. Using your leve allowances on combat leves is a pretty weak payoff by comparison.
