Time is of the essence
With the release of Vault of the Incarnates Heroic & Mythic Tiers releasing on the 13th December, players within Method have only two weeks from the release of Dragonflight until one of the longest Esports events in the gaming ecosystem.
As such, Method Players are reliant on reducing their time spent leveling to accumulate Pre-Raid Best-in-Slot Gear, work on professions, stockpile as many consumables as possible for the marathon ahead and ensure that their characters are in the best position to progress through the Eight Bosses the Vault of the Incarnates has in-store for them.
To minimize their downtime, Method players will be taking advantage of RestedXP leveling Guides as they grind their way to Level 70 through the most optimized routes and mechanics in the Dragon Isles.
Removing the Headache
RestedXP combines optimized Routes with easy-to-use and understand Tools, removing the challenge of leveling whilst ensuring that downtime is kept to a minimum.
RestedXP offers full 1-70 Guides for both Horde/Alliance, as well as specific Guides for Dragonflight Only.

Rested XP
The new ultra-fast leveling guide.
Release date: May 17th 2021
To get the best result from our World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade Classic Speedleveling Guide, it takes more than just taking the fastest route. We’ll show you how to play your class most effectively with our guide.
Playstyle
Leveling as a mage, your playstyle will revolve around either frostbolting singular mobs at a time, with complete safety throughout the leveling experience, or riskily gathering large groups of mobs to kill all at once.
AOE (Blizzard)
This spec revolves around gathering up large groups of mobs and using Improved Blizzard to AOE them down while slowly kiting them. The most efficient and fastest leveling spec for mage, this playstyle takes a medium-high level of skill to play efficiently and will require a fair amount of practice to unlock its full potential. Once you are able to AOE grind successfully, this spec becomes arguably one of the fastest in the game to level with.
Single Target Frostbolt
Single target frost revolves around using Frostbolt combined with Frostbite procs and Frost Nova to batch-shatter combo mobs for the 50% bonus critical strike chance. When played skillfully, this spec has incredible survivability and very good mana efficiency.
Rotation
1-10 (Fireball / Frostbolt)
Use whichever rank of Fireball or Frostbolt you have most recently trained. If you don’t have much money, don’t train Conjure food/water until level 10.
10-19 (Single Target Frost part 1)
Frostbolt -> Frost Nova (when mob is within 10 yards) -> Frostbolt -> Fireblast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
Frostbolt. If the mob reaches you Frost Nova, run away (depending on the mob’s remaining hp) and Frostbolt. Finish with wand when you run out of mana.
20-24 (Single Target Frost part 2)
Icy Veins -> Frostbolt -> Frost Nova (when mob is within 10 yards) -> Frostbolt -> Fireblast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
Use Icy Veins on cooldown for more damage.
Use Evocation on cooldown to reduce your downtime.
25-49 (Single Target Frost part 3)
Icy Veins -> Frostbolt -> Frost Nova (when mob is within 10 yards) -> Frostbolt -> Fireblast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
Frost Nova/Frostbite Proc: Frostbolt -> Queue (Batch) Fire Blast
Use Cold Snap at level 30+ on cooldown after using Icy Veins for more damage.
At 25, you start getting extra crit on mobs if they’re rooted with either Frost Nova or a Frostbite proc from your frost spells. In the game, there is a mechanic called “Batching”, where you have a 10ms window where you can queue spells for the same bonuses.
Because of this mechanic, you are able to gain the 10-50% crit chance bonus (depending on shatter rank) from potentially two spells at once. By casting Frostbolt then spamming Fire Blast to queue the spell before the current Frostbolt has finished casting, both spells should be able to gain the extra 10-50% chance to crit, massively increasing your potential damage.
50-65 (Single Target Frost part 4)
Summon Water Elemental -> Icy Veins -> Cold Snap -> Frostbolt -> Freeze (when mob is within 20 yards) -> Frost Nova (when mob is within 10 yards) -> Frostbolt -> Fireblast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
Freeze/Frost Nova/Frostbite Proc: Frostbolt -> Queue (Batch) Fire Blast
Use Summon Water Elemental on cooldown for more damage. Be sure to use (and bind) its pet ability (Freeze) on cooldown to gain more Shatter damage.
66-70 (Single Target Frost part 5)
Summon Water Elemental -> Icy Veins -> Cold Snap -> Frostbolt -> Freeze (when mob is within 20 yards) -> Frost Nova (when mob is within 10 yards) -> Frostbolt -> Fireblast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
Freeze/Frost Nova/Frostbite Proc: Frostbolt -> Queue (Batch) Ice Lance -> Ice Lance until Frostbite/Frost Nova breaks
At level 66, you get Ice Lance – this ability does triple damage on frozen targets. This effectively replaces Fire Blast during the Frostbite stage.
At level 68, you get Conjure Mana Emerald – Be sure to use this on cooldown as it restores more mana than it costs to conjure, and has 3 charges.
10-22 Fireball Pre-AoE (OPTIONAL)
Fireball -> Frost Nova -> Fireball -> Fire Blast (if it kills mob) -> Wand (No mana)
This build is marginally faster than the standard talent build if you’re planning on doing AoE from level 22 onwards. However, it does require you to spend a gold at 22 to respec your talents, which is rough in an already expensive level range for training on a mage. Recommended for experienced players.
22-29 (Blizzard AOE Part 1)
Mana Shield -> Group up mobs (Proximity pull, Counterspell, Fire Blast rank 1, Wand) -> Frost Nova -> Icy Veins -> Blizzard -> Frost Nova -> Blizzard/Arcane Explosion
Use Icy Veins after the first Frost Nova to deal more damage.
Many will choose to respec around this level as you begin to put skill points into Improved Blizzard. Learning to group up the mobs properly using Wand, Counterspell, Fireblast and Proximity pulling is a tough skill to learn if its your first time, but incredibly worth it. Once grouped you will Frost Nova, all of the mobs around you, run away about 25-30 yards and begin to Blizzard. Once the stack of mobs gets close, Frost Nova again and continue to Blizzard or finish with Arcane Explosion if its faster. Rinse and repeat until dead.
If a mob happens to resist your first Frost Nova, with some practice, you can either tank the mob and start kiting the pack around with Cone of Cold (at level 26+) when the nova breaks on the rest of the mobs, or you can VERY quickly Polymorph it and adjust your position to try to continue the blizzard method.
You can find an in-depth Frost Mage AoE guide by Tommysalami here.
30-39 (Blizzard AoE Part 2)
Mana Shield -> Group up mobs -> Ice Block -> Frost Nova -> Cold Snap (if mob resists 1st Frost Nova) -> Frost Nova (if mob resisted 1st Frost Nova) -> Icy Veins -> Blizzard -> Cold Snap (Optional) -> Frost Nova -> Blizzard/Arcane Explosion
At 30, your toolkit extends to having both Ice Block, freezing you and making you immune for 10 seconds, where mobs gather around you in the block, including spellcasters (making your ability to group up the mobs a lot easier and safer) and Cold Snap, which resets all your cooldowns on your frost spells, mainly allowing you to Frost Nova twice to catch any mobs who resisted, as well as additionally refreshing the cooldown on Ice Block and Icy Veins.
40-52 (Blizzard AoE Part 3) OPTIONAL
From 40-52, you can solo the Zombie Graves in Zul’Farrak. This is quite difficult and requires some preperation, but can save a few hours if you know what you’re doing. You can see Arlaeus’s guide for it here.
40-49 (Blizzard AoE Part 3)
Ice Barrier -> Group up mobs -> Frost Nova -> Blizzard -> Frost Nova -> Flamestrike+Cone of Cold Shatter Batch
From 40 onward, you unlock Ice Barrier, which gives you a lot more absorption than Mana Shield, and doesn’t drain your mana for it. If you’re finishing pulls with a lot of mana but find yourself dying a lot, you can add any rank of mana shield you like on top of Ice Barrier before the pull to increase your survivability.
Additionally, there is a mechanic called “Batching”, where you have a 10ms window where you can queue spells for the same bonuses.
Because of this mechanic, you are able to gain the 10-50% crit chance bonus (depending on Shatter rank) from potentially two spells at once. After casting the second Frost Nova in the pull, casting Flamestrike then spamming Cone of Cold to queue the spell before the Flamestrike has finished casting, both spells should be able to gain the extra 10-50% chance to crit, massively increasing your potential damage, and reducing the need to have to run away to Blizzard. This makes your pulls a bit faster overall.
50-70 (Blizzard AoE Part 4)
Ice Barrier -> Group up mobs -> Frost Nova -> Freeze (if mob resists 1st Frost Nova) -> Blizzard -> Frost Nova -> Flamestrike+Cone of Cold Shatter Batch
At 50, you get your water elemental – Bind it’s ability “Freeze”, as it allows you to do a ranged Frost Nova spell, greatly reducing the chance you have to reset a pull. You can also use this pet to damage mobs down if you keybind the pet’s attack ability.
Notes
Don’t get frustrated whilst learning how to AoE on a mage. This process can be very frustrating due to making you think about your characters limits per mob. It requires patience, and it pays off massively.
Enable “Floating Combat Text” under Interface -> Combat. This will show you when a mobs are attacking the most during an Ice Block. Cancelling the Ice Block just after you see the most attacks should allow you to come out of the block with more health.
Make a macro with “/cancelaura Ice Block /cast Ice Block “, as this will allow you to cancel the Ice Block when you see the most attacks. (Obviously put the /cast Ice Block on a seperate line)
Do the same with Blink. Make a macro with “/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Blink “, as this will allow you to blink straight out of an Ice Block and avoid a LOT of damage if you’re at extremely low hp.
The range of Blizzard is slightly larger than shown. You can be a little bit greedier than the green circle suggests (you’ll learn the real range through experience)
If your mage is an alt, buying them some semi-decent pieces of gear can help a LOT. Gear scales massively well on mages at lower levels, and good gear can be used to cheese pulls in the form of being more aggressive with Blizzards, or being able to reapply Mana Shield twice.
Itemization (Single Target)
Spell Hit > Spell Power -> Intellect -> Spell Crit
The new ultra-fast leveling guide.
Release date: May 17th 2021
To get the best result from our World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade Classic Speedleveling Guide, it takes more than just taking the fastest route. We’ll show you how to play your class most effectively with our guide.
Playstyle Overview
Warlock is a complex class with a huge amount of optimization potential. The general strategy is to level as Affliction with Succubus to level 50 then respec to Demonology with Felguard.
Use Rank 1 Drain Soul to save Mana and use Rank 1 Fear to Juggle Mobs More Effectively.
Soul Shard Management
At level 16 you get access to the improved drain soul talent, this talent received a massive buff in TBC and gives you a decent chunk of mana every time you kill a mob while using drain soul.
This following macro will help you with inventory management, destroying all the soul shards in your bags and leaving you with 5 shards:
/run i="Soul Shard"d=GetItemCount(i)-5 for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do if (d>0) then l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l and GetItemInfo(l)==i then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() d=d-1 end end end end
Rotation Breakdown
Levels 1-4
Shadowbolt (Projectile) -> Immolate -> Shadowbolt
Once you obtain your Imp it feels most efficient to Firebolt twice per mob. It’s okay to leave his Firebolt on auto-cast if you don’t feel like micro managing him.
Levels 4-8
Shadowbolt (Projectile) -> Corruption -> Immolate
Try to move towards the next objective once you get your DoTs on and let your auto attacks / Imp finish mobs.
Levels 8-10
Corruption -> Curse of Agony -> Immolate
At level 8 you get access to Fear and Curse of Agony. Try to kill 2 mobs at a time keeping one feared and dotted. Avoid using Shadow Bolt if you can, since Shadow Bolt is your least mana efficient spell at this point.
Levels 10-24
Send Pet -> Cure of Agony -> Corruption -> Immolate -> Wand
As soon as you get to a capital city, you can either buy a wand from the auction house or level enchanting to craft a wand yourself.
From levels 10-14 if you manage to find a good melee weapon, you can melee your target instead, this early into the game, a good staff will do very decent damage.
At level 14 you get access to a vendor wand from wand vendors inside capital cities. At that point you should 100% have a wand.
Levels 24-30
Send Pet -> Cure of Agony -> Corruption -> Drain Life
At level 24 you get access to Drain Life rank 2 and 5/5 Fel Concentration. At this point you can start drain tanking. Your succubus does the most damage of all your pets, use your succubus and have your Voidwalker out only to tackle difficult pulls
Levels 30-40
Send Pet -> Cure of Agony -> Corruption -> Siphon Life -> Drain Life
At level 30 you get access to Siphon Life, at this point you should be more aggressive with multi-dotting, remember that Fear rank 1 only lasts 10 seconds, since it doesn’t last that long, mobs won’t run far away from you and it’s a perfect tool for juggling mobs.
Levels 40-50
Send Pet -> Cure of Agony -> Corruption -> Siphon Life ->Drain Life -> Dark Pact
Turn off auto-cast on all your pet spells. Dark pact allows you to use your pet’s mana pool as a resource. The goal is to not use any pet spells and allow your pet to be constantly regenerating mana.
50-70 (Demonology)
Pet Attack -> Curse of Agony -> Corruption -> Immolate -> Drain Life
Put all Felguard abilities on auto cast except for taunt. Use taunt situationally to pull mobs off you when needed.
