Should You Grind Or Quest In WoW?

World of Warcraft is a highly popular game, and one of the more enjoyable aspects is the ability to level up characters. There are two methods for accomplishing this; grinding and questing.

Grinding involves blind killing in an area close to your characters level: you kill everything you can find and then search for more things to kill in that area. As you work the area killing the natives, or non-natives, as the case may be, the game will drop certain rewards, and give you experience points, both of which will help you to level up your character.

One of the exciting benefits of grinding is the chance to acquire new good which you can then sell on Auction house, or at vendors you may find in town. It’s wise before you begin grinding to purchase the largest bag you can so that you can carry more items as they fall, it’s always a bummer to have something really exciting appear only to find that you will have to give something up first because the bag you have is too small to carry everything.

If you can kill higher level enemies, that will give you more experience but the downside to this is that you will be worn down faster, increasing your chances of being killed in the battle. It’s also wise to watch the surroundings as you don’t want other enemies to focus their malice on you before you are completely ready for them. Potions are great to have on hand to help you survive battles, and, just as in real life, you will need food and water to sustain you and keep you going from one battle to the next. Special abilities are interesting and fun as they come in very handy during a battle, but they also have cool down periods that prevent them from being used all the time; so they should be used wisely and with thought put into the overall battle plan.

Questing is a very interesting method as it involves going on a series of quests in the game. They provide experience, and are just fun to work through, providing a change of pace from the usual grinding. Just as if you were preparing for a long trip in reality, you want to be sure to have plenty of food and water, and you also might want to think about taking along some friends to help you in your quest. Not only is the quest fun, but being able to interact with other people involved the games also can be much more interesting. Be prepared for some grinding in the quest, as this is how you will be able to still get the goodies that can be traded or used, so make sure you buy that large bag.

Most people use questing to get experience, as it’s more fun than the often repetitive and tedious grinding. Just go on quests; you’ll get more experience with them, interact with other players, and give yourself an interactive gameplay experience that isn’t confined to one area of World of Warcraft.
