This Paladin Heirloom Project has been a lot of fun so far. I am discovering new ways of leveling that is just helping me blow through levels. I started this as a fun project, and that is exactly what is has been so far. I am looking forward to seeing what results this will deliver.
The keys to me pulling through with my objectives for this project is to have as little downtime as possible, and to significantly reduce my travel time, which it looks like I will have no problem doing.
Continuing with my Paladin Heirloom Project, I am going to post levels 11 through 20 here.
Read the Paladin Heirloom Project Part I for levels 1-10.
Paladin Heirloom Project Part II
Levels: 11-20
Zones Involved: Elwynn Forest (10-15), Westfall (15-20)
Training at Levels: 14, 16, 20
Overall Time Elapsed: 5 hours 50 minutes
Gear Purchased: By a bank toon every couple levels, random BoE greens of the Bear and of the Tiger.
Tips
There are several 'hidden' quests to look out for. Two you can find in Elwyn Forest, and one can be found in Westfall.
- The Collector - Obtained by looting Gold Pickup Schedule from Hogger and the gnolls in his area in Elwynn Forest. This is a random drop.
- Furlbrow's Deed - Obtained by looting Westfall Deed from Defias mobs level 7 and above in eastern Elwynn Forest. This is a random drop.
- Captain Sanders' Hidden Treasure - Obtained by looting Captain Sanders' Treasure Map from any of the murlocs in Westfall. This is a random drop.
When traveling to Lakeshire for the Defias quest chain, go ahead and knock out Hilary's Necklace, which is given by Shawn at the end of the pier. This is a low level quest that gives you max XP by completing it this early.
There are 3 Deadmines quests that can be done without actually going into the instance itself.
- Collecting Memories and Oh Brother... given by Wilder Thistlenettle in the Dwarven District of Stormwind, and Red Silk Bandanas, given by Scout Riell at the top of the Westfall Tower.
Summary
Basically, for this, I followed the same methods as Part I. Killing everything in my path and looting only what I needed, I moved very quickly from quest objective to quest objective. I hit every quest available, include all those in Goldshire, Eastvale Lagging Camp, and Hogger's area.
Upon reaching Westfall, I completed the traveling quests first (sending me to Redridge and Stormwind), then knocked out the rest in short order via quest stacking.
- Quest Stacking - An absolutely imperative method for leveling quickly. Grab every single quest you can in an area and do not return to turn any of them in until they are all completed. This saves extraordinary amounts of time from running back and forth repetitively.
