If World of Warcraft is their canvas then skills like leveling merit a status, no less than that of an art. There are a lot of WoW leveling guides out there, but to start with, you can do with the very basic knowledge of leveling and the various ways of leveling.

If you are an absolute noob,WoW Guide: World of Warcraft Leveling Introduction Articles even then you might be able to guess the meaning of leveling. If you are not good at the guessing work, then let me divulge the meaning of leveling until you hone your guessing skills-Eh! That’s a lame excuse. WoW Leveling, as made obvious from the term itself, is the process of gaining experience and consequently going up in level. In Role Playing Games, the player goes up in level by gaining experience, which in turn is measured through experience points. The more experience points you accumulate, the faster you progress to the higher level. Higher level players hold a distinct advantage over the lower level players. This advantage can be in terms of skills and character attributes. Also, you can perform certain tasks based on your level. This implies that a level-1character cannot perform a level-2 specific task. Higher level tasks carry greater rewards, thus making leveling a crucial process. There Is a Method To Everything, Even Destruction: Yes sir, it is important to know the various kinds and methods of leveling. There are various leveling techniques. Questing, raiding and mobbing are a few basic examples. You have the option of going into leveling-overdrive with power leveling techniques. The power leveling techniques are same as the basic leveling techniques, but they are undertaken at a great pace. You will have to put role-playing on the backseat and, try and gain experience points only. If you could avert all lengthy quests for the shorter ones, then that would be a case of power leveling. There are other techniques like grinding. Grinding is the process, a monotonous process at that, of overdoing anything that earns you experience points, like mobbing (killing mobs for experience points). Professional power leveling has become a lucrative profession. There have been reports of people earning $5000 to $30000 a year from it. Power leveling turns professional, when it is undertaken on behalf of a few lazy and affluent gamers by some other people, who get rich in the process- pun intended. Don’t start counting the greenbacks as yet; instead learn the ropes of leveling first.
