That feels like a long time. Then aagin, I am a rather casual WoW player. At the time, I had a plugin that may proonounce my play time into guild chat when I levled. I am not confident what the exact number was but I do believe it took me somewhere about 30 days of play time to attain that level.
Since then, I had tried reading contetn pices web and uisng other resources like QuestHelper to optiumize my leveling. Niothing appeared to work very well. Once you get to know the quests at a certain level and in certain areas, you can impove your efficiency by discovering quests with targets in alike parts togetther and stuff but was always finding my self travelling long distancs to turn in a single quest and then not find any quests to select up. Also, as you gain levels you happen to be continuously going into new areas and all that facts is not useful.
Zyogr's In-Game Allince & Horde World of Warcraft 1-80 Leveling Gudies have changed all that. I picked up the guide shortly after I got the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Since the Burning Crusde had start I had languished on my main character at 61. I found it extremly complex to find the quests and their goals and I kept back tracking and doing some very inefficiient leveling. Once I inastalled Zygor's Giude, all that went away.
Now I just following the straightforward on screen instructions and I levled from 61-80 in abiout 6 days of play time. Some say that they feel this would take the fun out from the game. I did not find that to be true. I enjoyed the game even more. I enjkoyed experiencing the wonderflu contnt that Blizzard has created wtihout the naggging feeling that I can be combining another quests with thoe I used to be performing on at the time. With Zgyor, I do know that I'm not gnona be wasting my time baacktracking continually. Also, I find that I am not doing any grinding. There are severaal steps in the Guide that says "grind to level X" but I have never found that I in reality had to do that except at around 10th leverl.
I greatly recommend that you get one or both of the Zygpor guides. They are available in both Alliancce and Horde versions plus they take you from 1-80 in about three weekls play time.
