We wrote an article a few days ago about Athene, the player who claims to have leveled a character from 1 to 70 in under 2 days. Well now he’s released the first installment on how he did it.
Called “Athene: behind the scenes - #1: powerlvl like a pro”, the tongue-in-cheek movie mainly features Athene hitting back at the people who say he somehow faked his record-breaking leveling time. He then goes on to rubbish one of the existing and well known leveling guides, and provides some “useful” tips of his own on how to follow in his footsteps.
Be warned, it’s definitely NOT SAFE FOR WORK, as it features frequent swearing, but if you don’t mind that then it’s worth a watch for the pure comedy value. See it below, or catch it on WoWTV, where you can rate it appropriately.
While I can’t remember the exact number, I can see from one of my alts that 68->69 is 768K xp so assuming that 69->70 is roughly 800K then the "burst xp" at that end is roughly 2.6 MILLION xp per hour to achieve that in 18 minutes.
Go ahead, I’ll wait until you’re done laughing.
Ok, the only way something like that would even be remotely possible would be to save all the quests from 66 on and then just run around and turn them all in for 10-15K xp per. The real clue would be how long it took to get from 68->69 etc. I would relate this to Rep grinding where you save the turnins for the last bit that is usually the hardest and just use trash mobs for the "easy" bit.
Of course in 25 hours, when the heck would that "easy" part be? lol
