Wow’s Wrath of the Lich King is out now, and players have flocked to play this expansion. The Death Knights are great, the areas are beautiful, and the contents are great. Now, to level up, you might want to level up fast or be the one with the highest level in your party. You may want to be one of the first to go to other areas while others are still at their level 70 or below, or when others are still in Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra. Some like to level up slowly or take a look at all the beautiful scenes. But for others, leveling up fast is the way to go and not be left behind.

Grinding is now a good way to level up, but if you know the quests and routes in Northrend, you’ll be able to level up faster. Along the way, you can also kill things and grind.

For your starting point, Northrend has two different starting areas:

1. Howling Fjord

2. Borean Tundra

Now Borean has a little more quests, about 140 than Howling Fjord, which has about 110 quests. Quest Leveling is also faster in Boreal Tundra, since they are closer together than in Howling, which are further apart. But the Borean Tundra will probably be a lot more crowded than Howling, so you have to keep this in mind. For me, nothing boring about the boreal tundra. Howling Fjord has also been great in its own right. My favorite part so far has been shooting giant harpoons at buildings and then spearing myself from across the water with a spear. This area is also beautiful and overall a great area.

Also note that some quests are still buggy so it’s good if you know which quests and routes are working right now. For example:

1. “The Lost Shield of the Aesirites” was broken on the original release.

2. “Loot of Sorlof” in the same chain is also broken because they forgot to implement the weapon, a vital quest item.

3. “It’s a flying machine!” – mostly broken.

4. “Stop the Ascension” – Starts with the Vrykul Scroll of Ascension, but it doesn’t work at all.

They are probably already fixed. But for everything else, gameplay-wise, the missions have been mostly free. Travel distances to quest locations from quest hubs have also been short.
