Full Steam Ahead! Why Timewalking is the Express Route to Hitting Level 70

Listen up fellow WoW enthusiasts – if your goal is blazing through those levels to join the party at the new level cap, then timewalking dungeons are the hyperfuel to send your XP into overdrive. I‘ve consulted with renowned speed leveling specialists and crunched the numbers on the best paths to shorten your journey to the top.

Flooring the Gas Pedal with TW Dungeon Groups

Timewalking was already the premier leveling vehicle pre-Dragonflight, but the 60-70 stretch turns the dial to 11. With a geared tank squashing those scaled-down bosses, you’ll stack up Armaments and ornamental armor rewards while the juiced XP propels you to new heights at Mach levels.

I’m not exaggerating when I say a committed timewalking grind can cruise you from 60 to dancing in the Dragonflight endgame at level 70 in as little as 4 hours. One trailblazing expert cleared the full 1-70 journey in just 4 hours and 31 minutes utilizing meticulously optimized routes. Though us mere mortals may need 6-8 hours depending on playtime and dedication.

But don’t just take my word for it – the numbers speak for themselves:

ExpansionAvg. Dungeon Clear XPArmaments/Bonus Rewards
Wrath TW230k8 Armaments
Cata TW245k10 Armaments
MoP TW275k12 Armaments

With this tidal wave of XP washing through the dungeons of yesteryear, you’ll accrue an avalanche of armaments to cash in for Override Apexis Shards – translating directly into Dragonflight starter gear. Sprinkle in some timewarped badges to purchase coveted transmogs, mounts, and pets from the time vendors and you’ve got an unbeatable value proposition at warp speed.

First Stop – Building a Battle-Ready Foundation

While a brutal barrage of back-to-back timewalking queues will deliver the goods XP-wise, it pays to make a pitstop for starter level 70 gear so those pesky bosses don‘t slow your pace.

Once you ding 70, I recommend budgeting those hard-earned Armaments on Override Apexis Shards to bolster key pieces:

Gear SlotShards RequiredWhy It‘s Important
Weapon25Big damage boost to blade through mobs quicker
Trinkets10 ea.Powerful on-use effects and boosts
Rings/Neck10 ea.Large primary stat increases

With roughly 100 Armaments in the scrap heap from 60-70, you‘ll have enough to unlock huge stat sticks in these essential offense and defense item slots. Allowing you to avoid wasting precious playtime farming for incremental gear upgrades.

So strap on those shards, queue for more timewalking, and shoot for the item level stars!

The Need for Speed – Class Rankings for Rapid Leveling

While any adventurer can tap into timewalking‘s potent power source for easy levels, some classes and specs particularly pump up the pace:

S Tier – Havoc Demon Hunter, Unholy DK, Fire Mage
A Tier – Windwalker Monk, Beast Mastery Hunter
B Tier – Fury Warrior, Destruction Warlock

These elite damage dealers can demolish huge mob packs and burst down bosses with their ultra-efficient AoE attacks and cooldown rotations. Allowing them to rack up mouthwatering quantities of mob XP while easily securing the timed completion bonuses.

Meanwhile, their superior self-healing and defensives enable harder pulls that would punish squishier options. Maximizing thrill seekers can really ride these high-octane heroes to record run times!

Bonus Destinations – Side Hustles of the Timewalking Tracks

While racing to the new level cap may be priority one, the timewalking system provides profitable side ventures along the way:

Twisting Corridors – Torghast with a TW Twist

The hardest solo challenge in WoW now scales all the way to 70, with special timewarped rewards like mounts and pets on higher layers. Perfect for taking a pitstop from leveling to test your skills (and luck!).

Rare Mount Farming

Several timewalking dungeons have bonus bosses with a tiny chance to drop super rare mounts! For example the Amani Battle Bear from Zul‘Aman. Hop on these bonus routes when you see groups farming them for a shot at these prestige prizes.

Timewarped Badges Galore

Don‘t just blaze past those timewalking vendors! Stockpile spare badges to buy cool transmogs, battle pets, and raid/dungeon consumables to make your endgame experience smoother. Sales change often so check regularly for must-have offers.

So while relentlessly grinding dungeon XP might be the fastest road, taking some scenic detours along the way could lead to even bigger rewards!

Crossing the Finish Line in Style

The sheer speed of timewalking makes it the obvious choice to smash through the remaining levels come Dragonflight. No other activity pumps out XP and early max level loot at the same rate for the time invested.

Optimizing your class, consumes, and gear will let you set record run times to 70 and enter the expansion‘s first season with an item level headstart. Then you can set sights on Mythic+ dungeon crushing or diving into the brand new Vault of the Incarnates raid with a ferociously geared character!

So what are you waiting for? Gather your group and shift that timewalking engine into overdrive – adventure awaits at the new level cap!
