Who Is This Guide For?If you fit into any of these categories, this guide is specifically for you.

You've boosted a character to 58 because you've never played Classic WoW, but wish to play in Burning Crusade Classic.

You played at least one character in Classic but none to max level, and want to catch up to hit the ground running with the new expansion.

This guide assumes the following:

While you may have experience playing WoW, you may have little to no experience playing in Classic, or you haven't played Classic in a long time.

You may not have the support of a guild or friends willing to outfit you, give you cash, or escort you through dungeons or raids.

You are starting out with the first adventurer's set but little else, and may need to get most of your experience, play, and materials on your own.

You don't have a ton of starter cash to buy upgrades on the Auction House.

Important Changes in WoW Burning Crusade ClassicLeveling Changes in Burning Crusade Classic and Pre-Patch

Experience needed to level 1-60 has been reduced by 15%.

Completing quests between 30-60 gives increased experience rewards.

Many Elite quests are now soloable.

Many wandering elites in the world have been nerfed to Normal quality mobs. This makes completing some quests and operating in some areas, such as southern Winterspring, far easier, particularly for solo players.

While not of interest to boosted players, you can now learn Riding at level 30 instead of 40.

Loot and Dungeon Changes in WoW Burning Crusade Classic and Pre-Patch

Many loot itemizations that included strange combinations to make them more appropriate for the intended class. For example, most crafted, quest, and dropped cloth items that included +STR or +AGI have been retooled for +INT or added spell/healing.

A LFG tool has been added to Burning Crusade Classic. While not as fully featured as the LFG tools in Retail, it will make it much easier to find groups for dungeons and questing activities.

Summoning Stones can be used to summon distant party members.

Uncommon quality boss loot has been upgrade to Rare quality.

Dungeon levels have been retooled to narrow the intended range. This will help ensure that players of the appropriate range won't struggle to kill elites far above their level and that drops will be useful to them.

Deciding Which Class to Boost

Jäger or Hexenmeister
Both classes are very strong in Burning Crusade Classic. Warlocks in particular routinely topped damage meters in the original Burning Crusade, as well as being indispensable utility players in some raids such as Gruul's Lair. Hunters, particularly Beast Mastery, also have great utility; improvements such as the removal of the ranged shot dead zone from Classic make them much more dangerous in all situations.

Druide
They aren't as gear dependent as some other classes, and one druid provides all three roles in one toon (although changing Talent specs costs gold in Burning Crusade Classic; dual specs don't even come into play until WOTLK). Healers and tanks are always in high demand for dungeon groups.

Paladin or Schamane
Both strong choices, but you can't buy boosts for Draenei or Blood Elves. Paladins are somewhat gear dependent, but less so than Warriors. Shaman can be a tricky class to jump into if you're not experienced with it, but they're considered especially strong for PvP in Burning Crusade Classic.

Magier or Priester
Mages and Priests have really strong solo questing specializations like Frost and Shadow, but these can incur a lot of downtime. Shadow Priests are highly sought after to help healers in raids, as they can restore Mana through , so it's a great class to boost if raiding is a final goal. Fire Mages also look particularly strong for raiding.

Krieger or Schurke
These melee classes are highly gear dependent and you may struggle deal early on as a result. Neither class is especially strong in Burning Crusade Classic (prot warriors were king in Classic, but not as dominant in BCC), and melee DPS spots in dungeons are often highly contested.

Class Guides for Burning Crusade Classic Boosted PlayersStarting Out as a Fresh 58

Tip: If you're not used to Classic (and you're not a mage and can't summon your own), bring PLENTY of food and water. You'll be using it a lot more in Classic than you do in Retail, where non-stat food is rarely needed.

Leveling 58-60: The Best ApproachFocus on upgrading your gear, not on getting from 58-60.RunenstoffrobeJoin a GuildBattlegrounds for Ranked PvP Gear Available for Honor PointsOffizierin AreynLeutnant JackspringStabsfeldwebel ClateHauptfeldwebel BigginsLeutnant KarterUnteroffizierin Ba'shaSteingardist ZargStabsfeldwebel Hola'mahiKriegerheldin SteinfellRäuber BorkDungeon Leveling 58-60the

Tip: Start and advertise a "Dungeon Learning Group" for boost-only toons so you can all learn together! It might be a little slow, but it's a great way to meet new friends.

Stratholme: Either Live Side or Undead Side Stratholme is great for gearing toons. Many items in Strat are Best in Slot items, so worth spending some focused time here. Getting the Schlüssel zur Stadt from Magistrat Barthilas, the first boss on the Service Gate section, helps shortcut to Strat's back door that leads directly into Dead Side. Like other keys, only one player needs to open it.

Düsterbruch: All three wings are worth visiting. The Tribute Run in North is especially fun, but you probably need to get geared up some to get the most out of it.

Scholomance: Scholomance not only has a great many gear drops, but also valuable profession recipes. Scholomance requires Skeleton Key to open, but only one player needs it. The door can also be blown up with a Mächtige Zephyriumladung, lockpicked by a Rogue with a skill of 280 or higher, or opened using a torch by a player on the other side.

Schwarzfelsspitze: Lower Blackrock Spire is 54-60, and Upper Blackrock Spire is 58-60. Entering Upper Blackrock Spire requires a Siegel des Aufstiegs to open, though only one person needs to have the key.

Questing 58-60

Eastern Plaguelands (53-60)

Winterspring (53-60)

Silithus (55-60)

You can't enter dungeons or raids for the first 24 hours after boosting a character, by the way.

These melee classes are highly gear dependent and you may struggle deal early on as a result.

There are some bizarre sentences in this article which show that, while waiting for TBC, you should spend more time proofreading what you are writing

Kommentar von EXPERIMENTONGOD

I fail to understand why you keep mentioning that having better gear is beneficial to leveling professions. Maybe for skinning if you plan to kill the mobs yourself.

Otherwise nice guide.

Experience needed to level 1-60 has been reduced by 15%.

It's only from 20-60 that the xp was reduced.

If you are a caster farm cloth and get that tailoring to 300 ASAP... once you get to Runecloth farm dungeouns to get to 60. Make your specialized set ie felcloth set. Save your Rune Cloth because there are still skill ups for it beyond 300. Once you get through the portal in two weeks focus only on gear upgrade quests/chains and fill in pieces with nethercloth set. Then farm all normal dungeouns to 7999 Friendly for Rep then go back and do all quests in zone to revered for factions with a Heroic key requirement. Then at 68 start Kara chain. At 70 go SMV train flying. Then go to NS and do every quest in the zone and Finish last part of Kara attune. Run Kara weekly in either guild run or Soft reserve pugs. Finish up tailoring and run Heroics for mats and recipes. While waiting farm Rep for needed reputations. Save all motes and be sure you have a bank alt to store craft him some netherweave bags to increase the storage. If paying for mats farn nether wrave and make bags to post on AH. Save all your felcloth mooncloth etc. and either do enchanting or skinning for other profession. You can sell skins on AH for quite a bit of gold at the later levels because folks make drums with it. Another thing to consider is farming Arakkoa for feathers as it is needed for Rep as well as Aldor Scrior rep tokens. TBC is packed full of awesome things to do. So if one place is busy and being farmed there is always another way. Also a side note on motes HCS farming has a good return ad many dungeoun adds drip these so make sure to look into dungeouns and mob match the needed motes. I leveled a boost on the beta and started week but easily got established with this Strat.

Hands down, if you want the best path for gearing up 58-60 while leveling, battlegrounds are the way to go during Pre-Patch.

Dungeons are the best way to go for gearing up while leveling 58-60, hands down

Hmmm....

Kommentar von Leviathon

Can also just save your time and wait for Outland and just get gear/level then lol. At least you don't need to deal with vanilla content then.
