Leveling Alliance Guide: Day 15
Here I am in Searing Gorge on Day 15, a little over half way to 52.
This session I had a few mixed emotions. First off the last quarter of 49 was basically grinding. It was those quests in the Blasted Lands where you have to get such and such amount of basilisk brains, vulture gizzards, etc. Rather than ding from handing in quests, I dinged simply from grinding these mobs over and over.
Some would argue that a majority of this game is grinding since you generally have to kill x amount of mobs, or loot x amount of things. I agree, however, often this doesn’t *feel* like grinding, but this set of quests really did. Especially since you needed 14 Vulture Gizzards and I could only find maybe 8 around the area (even going off the suggested path) and the drop rate was rediculous.
As well, in The Slag Pitt in Searing Gorge I found where I needed to go to be really confusing. I ended up finding the mob I was looking for completely by accident. I don’t know what Zygor’s Guide could have done differently to make it less confusing, but it was difficult to navigate.
That being said! I also found this session to be really clever in the way it handled certain quests. For example, the same mobs dropped different quest items, but you had to finish the initial quest in order to unlock the next. All the while, the same mobs were also needed in killing overall, like 30 of them. So while you were doing one quest you were actually completing another, then handed that one in, only to pick up a new quest, that required you to kill the same mobs, so while you’re doing the new quest, you’re also continuing the old one.
I hope that makes sense. 
At any rate, I thought it was really well handled.
