World of Warcraftis enjoying its 18th Anniversary this month, and one crafty player has decided to make use of its experience buff for some truly impressive speed-leveling. While the changes toChromie Time by includingShadowlandswill allow for more flexibility in leveling one’s alt, many players are choosing to do so before the expansion launches on November 28. The reasons are simple, ranging from trying out new race and class combinations, to preparing forDragonflighton their new main, but the opportunity remains the same.
From November 6 to November 15,World of Warcraftplayers will have the opportunity to level up their characters by benefiting from both the Winds of Wisdom and Anniversary buff to experience gain, with the total increase reaching 68%. Though the Anniversary event will last until November 27, the Winds of Wisdom buff is going away on November 15. If players add the 10% increase to experience gain from the Darkmoon Faire’s carousel ride, they can get their alts up to speed in no time.

AWorld of Warcraftplayer managed to make the most out of these buffs to get theirLightforged DraeneiHunter named Terry to Level 50 in four hours and sixteen minutes, beating their own previous record. They shared the accomplishment on theWorld of Warcraftsubreddit, where it was met with a mixture of praise and theory-crafting on how it could be done even faster.
One thing that players have a consensus on is that it’s a lot more prudent to leave alts on Level 50 and wait for Chromie Time to allow them to level through the 51-60 bracket.Dragonflightis removing Threads of Fate, and will allow players to level in the expansion of their choice until they reach the Dragon Isles, allowing many to skip the currently unpopularShadowlandszones.
It’s important to mention thatWorld of Warcraftplayers can’t make an Evoker just yet, as the new class will unlock on November 15, when theDragonflightpre-patchhits the live servers and the Winds of Wisdom buff runs out. Much like Demon Hunters inLegion, the Evoker will have two specializations for players to choose from, and will only be available to Dracthyr. In addition to the new class, players should also expect to see the first dungeon ofDragonflightunlock in the pre-patch – the new wing of Uldaman that sends them on a quest for Tyr’s lost memories.
