How to Get Ahead of the ZERG for Season of Discovery

This is a guide on how to avoid an irritating leveling experience of competing with other players when a player ignores the queue and steals it in the EU, it won't be that bad because servers launch late at night, and most people aren't sweaty enough to play through the night, so if you get up early in the morning and go on the 31st, you can avoid the initial Zerg and when people who stayed up all night finally go to sleep, the open world will open up to you.

 

so we have a problem, but what if you could get ahead of this Zerg so unbelievably well that you only end up sharing the open world with a handful of players and the experience will just be like leveling fresh on a Raft classic server, this is going to be the best strategy that you should use to get ahead of all the Headless chickens in the starting area.

 

Your first objective is to get to level four, this is because the quest Hub after the starting area unlocks at level four, the idea here is to jump ahead to this Quest Hub early to get ahead of everyone, now the problem is that trying to take on these quests at level four is definitely a challenge, we don't think any class other than a warlock will be able to manage it to be honest, especially not a warrior so the solution is to do a Duo level, this enough that duo leveling in the first phase of a server launch is far superior to doing it alone, to get to level four you will have to suffer through competing for Quest Mobs with other people, but it won't be too bad as the spawn rate should be near enough instaneous, the best strategy is to use codex light so that you know the precise spawn locations and you both Camp different spawn points to get the tag, use a start attack macro and spam it, once you hit level four you should follow the optimal leveling group that rested XP, you can get a five discount in the description down below but you should apply this principle of jumping to the next Zone early for the next Zone jump, so at level 9, you jump to the level 10 zone, so for instance, humans should go to Westfall at level 9 and Orcs should jump to the Barons at level 9, and once you've done this leveling over level 9 should be considerably easier and less irritating, remember also that add-ons can cause loading delays and mess up your game when you make a new character, for these few levels, we would just recommend using a question add-on like codex light and nothing else, when you make a new character all your add-ons will load onto the character, so remember to switch them off in the game menu.

 

Another problem that will likely present itself is server crashes, this mistake that people make is going back to the main login screen when this happens, you should always lur the realm selection screen and wait for the server to flash green and quickly double click it, this way you should avoid putting yourself at the back of the queue, now if you want to speed your weight to level 25 as fast as possible, obviously doing instance content is going to be the way forward because it's a safe and reliable method of obtaining experience, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the Season of Discovery, this season is supposed to be about discovering new things in the open world and taking your time to enjoy the leveling experience rather than just rushing it.
