So you want to level up to 80 as fast as possible in WoW, within a week or less (meaning an actual week, not a week /played time). Assuming that you have some experience with the game and know where each instance is, you can easily do this by yourself. Here’s how.

You will need:

1. A WoW basic box ($15-20 in most stores)

2. A decent computer capable of running three WoW clients simultaneously

3. A week (ideally a month, but you can do it in a week) of time to devote to leveling

Yep, that’s it.

The first step you need to take is to buy the basic WoW package. You’re going to be leveling with RAF (refer-a-friend) that will require you to set up a new account. You are going to let this account expire after 30 days, but you need the basic package to get started.

Once you have your WoW fresh box in hand, send a trial account invitation to another email account that you own. You will receive a code to input to start your fresh WoW account – the RAF account – that you will level alongside with your regular account to receive the experience bonus that comes with RAF. Note: this bonus gives you triple exp, which is even better than rested, meaning you get three times the normal experience for quests and mob kills.

Okay, now your second account is set up, it’s time to get some basics out of the way.

First you need to open two clients on your computer (or if you have two computers that are both capable of running the game, open WoW on your other PC). Log in to your RAF account and your normal account, then do the quests from level 1-10. You will need to be in the same area to receive the exp bonus, so you have to level up in the same area. Important note: if your regular account has BC installed and you want to level a draenei/blood elf OR you prefer to level in the BC starting zones, you are going to need to get an upgrade to BC on the RAF account or simply summon your draenei/belf to where your other character is, in a normal starting zone.

Once you’re level 10, equip your characters with the best bags you can, empty them, and head on down to Deadmines or RFC depending on your faction, then get a third client open and load up a level 80 to run your characters through.

Don’t bother with macros or anything; they’re just going to slow you down. Just be careful not to leave your lowbies too far back in the dungeon or else patrols may sneak up and eat you.
