5 Reasons Why You Should Get to Level 80 in Warcraft

By Paul Rone-Clarke

Getting a character to level 80 in Warcraft can seem a long process. But you should prioritise this above everything else to begin with, here's why;

1 - Warcraft is now all about the end game. There is so much content once you get there that you will wonder why it took you so long. Ilevel-200 gear is so "last year".

2 - Full blown PvP in Northrend, and beyond. Sure you can PvP at lower level, but the experience at level cap, with the new vehicles and team play, as well as the fantastic battlegrounds makes this the very best place to PvP in the game.

3 - You will feel better. Seriously. The day a character "pings" 80 is a great feeling. You are no longer a novice; you can walk tall in the game.

4 - Cataclysm? Heard of it? Well, if you want to get straight into the new end-game content, and be a competitor once the raids at level 85 begin, you need characters ready to go.

5 - Make gold. No matter what people tell you about getting gold, the whole process gets a lot easier when you have high level characters. Even doing a few quests for an hour will net you a couple of hundred gold pieces once you sell the stuff. Why go to all that hassle early in the game when all along just playing it properly, getting to level cap as quickly as possible was the best way to proceed?

From the outside it can seem like there are two goals. Getting to level cap, and getting super rich. At times they might even seem to take you in different directions. Take it from someone who has done it 16 times. Levelling up as efficiently as you can is the key to success in both areas of the game.

What are you waiting for? Time to level up.
