World of Warcraft rocks. I wish I could play it for a living. But since I am not a professional video game player like Brian Kopp, I’ll have to settle for obsessing over it when I get home from work. Once you get to level 60 it is a whole other world (of warcraft) let me tell you. I mean it is amazing. The developers of this game obviously thought ahead and really wanted to reward the successful power levelers. They should get like an award or something – oh, wait they did.

Yeah you are going to want to get to level 60 and 70. It is well worth it. But you want to enjoy the ride as well. You want to discover the totally cool stuff you can do along the way. Well it just so happens that the totally cool stuff is what gets you through the levels faster. And what’s wrong with a little guidance? I don’t know why guidance has to be referred to as a “cheat” or worse yet a “hack.” They are really just helpful tips. So let’s get it started in here.

Easy money. This works easily if you have high experience in Herbalism, First Aid, Skinning, Leather Working, etc. Get the materials needed for what you want to make. For example, for First Aid, kill lots of humanoids for linen cloth, wool cloth, etc. Then, just sell the materials to an NPC. If you want more money (for example for Skinning and Leatherworking), make something out of the leather, then sell or auction it off at the nearest auction house.

Easy experience. An easy way to increase the speed of leveling up is being rested. This will double the experience from killing enemies only. Discovering an area will not get you double the experience. An easy way to get rested is logging out at an inn. Whenever you know you are going to be away from the game for awhile, try to log out while inside an inn. This will get your player rested while you are away. To tell if your character is rested, look up at the circle next to his or her portrait where it shows your level. A “zzz” will be there instead of your level. This indicates that you are rested. You can also tell if you are rested by looking at your experience bar. The experience you have gained so far will be blue and all of the experience you gain will be blue until you pass the small marker on the experience bar.

Taming Animals. When your hunter is level 10, look for a hunter trainer and talk to him/her about a pet. He/she will send you on 3 quests with an item to tame animals. When you come back the third time you, and return the item, talk to him/her. He/she will send you to another city who will teach how to feed, dismiss, call, and a few other commands.
