Best Strategies To Max Joyous Journeys Buff & Level 80 Fast in WotLK Classic

What strategies can be used to maximize the Joyous Journeys buff? Here we have some tips for you:

1- Heirlooms

First of all, no matter what your current level is heirlooms will make your leveling a lot faster. You have three heirlooms in Wrath that will give you a straight-up bonus experience. 

There's the Chest, the Shoulder, and the Ring of course you probably only have access to the chest and shoulder for that 10 extra XP per piece, we mean unless you won the Cadillac fishing tournament. Although everybody Hypes up the bonus XP from heirlooms, actually using the heirloom weapons and armor makes leveling feel a lot smoother too. In this phase, you can primarily really get PVE heirlooms from emblems of heroism. If you don't have any heroism left, you can always downgrade at the newly streamlined exchange NPC in the Dalaran sewers. You'll also be able to get heirlooms from Champion Seals next phase, so make sure to stock up. With your heirlooms in hand, we have a choice to make, we've got questing, boosting, or grinding.


2 - Repeatable Quests with 37K XP

There are two repeatable quests with the Waterlogged Recipe and the Sealed Vial of Poison, each of these quests typically gives 22,000 experience. But with heirlooms and the Joyous Journeys buff, you'll actually be getting over 37,000 XP per turn-in. If you can snipe enough files or recipes on the auction house, you can skip from level 70 all the way to 72 or higher.


2 - Questing

Another option you have is questing. Questing is surprisingly easy and mindless, especially if you have a leveling. The biggest thing is to make sure you get epic flying as soon as possible, you also want to mail over a Tome of Cold Weather Flying, so you can cheese all the north run quests at level 68. Nowadays, questing feels a lot like retail but you can make it even easier if you want to. We suggest using things like potions, engineering, nades, and Buffs. For example, if you ran Mongoose on your warrior with food Buffs and dynamite you were dominating every quest in the outlands just think about anything that can increase DPS and then do it. 


3 - Boosting

Though if questing isn't working for you, boosting is a great option as well. Although boosting was technically nerfed heavily, it's still extremely effective in North Rand. The best way to find Boost is to press I and list yourself on the custom channel. There are also boosters that twink out characters, specifically to do lower-level dungeons. Typically you can expect to pay over 10,000 gold to go from 70 to 80 via boosting, but our recommendation is to combine boosting with questing that way you can scoop up easy experience in places like borian Tundra and once you're slightly over level for the area.


4 - Grinding

If you don't feel like questing or boosting, your other option is grinding and sure grinding can mean things like AOE farming SEALS or farming Trolls. But grinding is surprisingly effective at low levels as well, one grinding trick to do is to put your geared boomkins thorns on your low level care characters, then you can destroy mobs in one second and still get full experience. At higher levels though, the best way to grind is to combine something like seal grinding with ultra rack Valley. Unfortunately this Joyous Journeys we won't be getting an ultrac Valley Call to Arms until June 16th but we still wouldn't fault you for saving a character for that week to effortlessly jump from 71 to 80. There's really nothing wrong with procrastinating unless you're looking to achieve your golden gear dreams next phase.
