D is for Ding & E is for Experience

A twofer today!

DING!  That's one of my favorite things to do in WoW and likely explains the numerous characters I have.  Running end game stuff is fun but sometimes you just wanna feel like you're really accomplishing something so you jump to a lowbie character and grind to ding the next level.  Yep that's all it means.  It means completing one level and getting to the next.  But how do you do that?

Every mob kill, every quest turned in, every dungeon run gives you experience (or XP as we call it).  The lower levels are pretty easy and in an hour (if you have that kind of time to run non-stop) you can get from level 1 to probably 5 in nothing flat.  But the higher you go, the longer it takes.  Lluvy is stuck at level 74 because of the millions of XP she needs.  Not to mention she's hella squishy and dies with just a couple of hits.  It took me a total of 11 days over a 4 month period to get Heralyn from level 55 (the level a Death Knight starts at) to 80.  And let me tell you, that ding of 80 was soooooooo much better than when I got Lluvy to 70!
