It's been almost a month after the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
and I'm still trying to gear my shaman and hunter up for raids. I'm also in the process of leveling my warrior and druid to 85, the max level in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. With the expansion to the World of Warcraft
(WoW) series, the game has gone through many changes, and I like these changes such as: adding new zones for leveling, and the old zones being impacted by the returning of Deathwing and most of all the quest.The new leveling zones are somewhat small, like Outland, but they do the trick for leveling from 80 to 85. What really bugged me was the experience points (EXP) needed to level to from 80 to 85. Here let me estimate the total EXP needed to go from level 80 to 85.
2million + 2million + 3million + 5Million + 9 million, totaling 21million experience points needed.
This is only an estimation, but it's close enough. But hey those who haven't hit 85 yet, don't worry, because as you progress farther into the zone, and progress into higher leveling zone the quest reward for each quest goes up and up. From Mount. Hyjal, a level 80-82 questing zone, the quest exp rewards go from 20,000 EXP to, if I recall, 35,000 EXP for completing a basic quest. From Twilight Highlands, a leveling zone for level 84 and 85, the EXP reward for completing a quest goes from around 60,000 exp to 75,000 exp. See... Doesn't that make you happy that I told you this? LOL
Some of the quest in Cataclysm are pretty interesting because there are more interaction with what you need to do to complete a quest, rather grinding a quest completion. Like for example, the new starting zone for Goblins, after completing a few quest you, then get a quest that gives you a taxi like car to go pick up some of your buddies and bring them back to your place. If have done this quest, and you're thinking of what I'm thinking, this is a complete copy of Crazy Taxi or a Grand Theft Auto. You can take your car and ram it into other npc walking around and blocking your way. Some of the later quest in the 80-85 zones have what you can say, playing the main character of a movie while watching a movie. If you don't understand that, hope you understand this, some of the quest have scenes of from movies, phrases from movies put into the expansion Cataclysm, and it really relates to what some or most players like, such as Indiana Jones
and 300
. THIS IS MADNESS!Enough about quest, lets move down to something new, such as the changes to the zones. They are nice new changes but in my honest opinion, they should have done the zone changes during the release of Wrath of the lichking rather than Cataclysm. I say this because everyone can level so fast in dungeon, they don't need to even bother stepping outside the main city and queuing for Battle ground (BG) or dungeons. I'm leveling my priest, she is level 45 at the moment, and has not stepped inside Desolace, TarrenMill, SearingGorge. She stayed in Orgrimmar queuing dungeons the instant she hit 15. Now that Cataclysm have came out, I'm leveling a Goblin rogue, to hopefully experience the new changes that has bestowed upon us.
Well, that's all my ranting for now. I'll post a new blog, about my shaman and hunter and you should gear up for. Also possibly a few tips on some of the important things in Cataclysm such as, making gold, where to level, how to level, dungeon boss fights, and how to catch a predator
, from botting, to hacking.
