So you’ve hit level 90 on your main.

You’ve done the campaign.
You’ve cleared the zones.

And now you’re looking at your alts thinking:

“Do I seriously have to do all of that again?”

The answer is no.

Not only can you skip the slow route, but most players are actually leveling their alts completely wrong right now.

In this guide, we’re breaking down the 4 best ways to level from 80 to 90 in Midnight, depending on how you like to play.

---

Prep (This Is Where Most People Mess Up)

Before you even touch your alt, you need to understand one thing:

Midnight has stackable XP bonuses, and if you’re not using them, you are leveling slower for no reason.

---

1. Warband Mentor Bonus

For every level 90 character you have:

• +5% experience
• Stacks up to +25%

If you already have multiple level 90s, this is a massive boost.

---

2. War Mode

• +15% to +25% experience

Turn it on.

Unless you are constantly dying, this is free experience and should always be active while leveling.

---

3. Darkmoon Faire Buff

If Darkmoon Faire is active:

• +10% experience

---

How to Get It Quickly

1. Buy 100 Darkmoon Daggermaw from the Auction House
2. Go to Darkmoon Island
3. Complete the treasure quest
4. Turn in for tickets
5. Buy experience hats

These hats give you a 10% XP boost and are extremely valuable.

---

4. Gear Prep (Underrated Speed Boost)

Go to the Auction House and buy:

• Item level 165–180 gear

This massively increases your damage and survivability.

Faster kills = faster leveling.

Most players completely ignore this and lose a lot of time because of it.

---

Route 1: Fastest Leveling Method (Speedrun)

This is for players who want:

“Get me to 90 as fast as possible.”

---

Step 1: 80 → 81 (Mob Grinding)

Go to a dense mob area.

Best spot:

• Bee farming area in The War Within

Pull everything.
AoE it down.

---

Why This Works

• Extremely fast XP
• You likely have rested XP
• Minimal thinking required

This is the fastest level in the entire process.

---

Step 2: 81 → Delves

Once you hit 81:

Skip the campaign entirely.

Head straight into delves.

---

What You Do

• Complete all available delves (around 10 total)
• Run them at Tier 2 if possible

Tier 2 gives more XP and is only slightly harder than Tier 1.

---

Critical Strategy (Most Important Part)

Take all Delver’s quests…

…but do NOT hand them in yet.

---

Step 3: Store XP for Later

You want to:

• Complete all delve quests
• Keep them ready to turn in

Why?

Because XP scales with level.

Handing them in later = more XP.

---

Step 4: Questing (87–88 Target)

Now go into zones:

• Eversong
• Zul’Aman
• Harundar

---

How to Quest Efficiently

• Pick up everything
• Skip slow quests
• Ignore dungeon quests
• Keep moving

Goal:

👉 Reach level 87–88

---

Step 5: XP Burst Turn-In

Now stack everything:

• War Mode ON
• Guild Banner (if available, +10–15% XP)
• Any remaining XP buffs

---

Then:

👉 Turn in all Delver’s quests at once

---

Result

You will gain:

• Around 2+ levels instantly

This is the biggest power spike in the entire route.

---

Step 6: Profession Finish (89 → 90)

Now finish with professions.

---

What To Do

• Pick a profession
• Craft first-time recipes
• Level it to ~50–55

If needed:

• Pick a second profession
• Repeat

---

Why This Works

First crafts give massive XP.

This is often enough to push you straight to level 90.

---

Route 2: Brain-Off Leveling (Zero Thinking)

This is for players who want:

“No routing. No quests. Just kill.”

---

Location

• Shadowguard Point (Voidstorm)
• Solo delve

---

Strategy

• Pull large packs
• Stack mobs
• AoE everything down

---

Important Setup

• Set your follower to healer
• Activate Calamitous storyline (for higher mob density)

---

XP Rate

• ~Half a bar per pull
• Level every 20–30 minutes

---

Why People Love This

• No thinking
• No quest tracking
• Consistent XP

Just log in and grind.

---

Route 3: Follow the Arrow (Addon Method)

If you want something guided:

Use the addon:

Follow the Arrow

---

What It Does

• Gives step-by-step leveling path
• Tracks progress
• Tells you exactly what to do next

---

Comparison

• Similar to RestedXP
• Simpler
• Free

---

Who This Is For

• Players who don’t want to think
• Players who want structure
• Players who prefer checklist-style leveling

---

Route 4: The Smart Method (Long-Term Value)

This is the method for players with lots of alts.

Instead of rushing to 90…

You level while doing valuable activities.

---

Strategy

Log into each alt and:

• Do weekly quests
• Complete world activities
• Kill rares
• Progress reputation

---

What You Gain

• Experience
• Gold
• Reputation

---

Why This Is Powerful

Instead of:

“Level first, grind later”

You are doing both at the same time.

---

Best For

• Players with many alts
• Players focused on gold and efficiency
• Players who don’t need instant level 90

---

Which Route Should You Choose?

It depends entirely on your playstyle:

• Want fastest possible leveling → Route 1
• Want zero thinking → Route 2
• Want guided experience → Route 3
• Want long-term efficiency → Route 4

---

Final Thoughts

Most players slow themselves down before they even start.

If you:

• Stack XP buffs
• Use the right route
• Avoid unnecessary quests

You will level dramatically faster than the average player.

Leveling alts in Midnight does not need to be slow.

You just need to do it properly.
