Tired of doing quests in World of Warcraft? Aren’t we all. But you don’t have to do quests if you don’t want to. Players have found various ways in which they gain levels, be it fast or slow. Some of them have even started grinding again because it is a lot more simple and due to the changes in most classes, it is easier.

Many have reported that they also make good amounts of gold from the loot they find when grinding. As long as you know good spots, this is entirely possible for anyone. Get a class that can AoE relentlessly and you will see a lot of progress.

That being said, another very good method to gain levels without quests is using the Group Finder to do instances. What you do is simple, you stay in a inn or play with the Auction House in any city while you wait for the Group Finder to get you in an instance. Every instance has quests that can be done once which give items and good XP. If you join random instances, you also gain experience and items when you finish the instance. Not to mention drops from bosses and such.

You can improve this by getting Heirloom items for the extra experience and also joining a top level guild. All of that experience bonus will stack and you can reach 50% more experience from kills and quests. At the lower levels, that means at least one level per instance.

Tips:

To join instances faster, get a tank spec or a healer spec. This way you will find a group in seconds during prime-time.

If you don’t know the instance, ask someone from the group to lead, you shouldn’t waste time checking the map and such.

If the end boss is within reach, take the long way first. If you kill the end boss quick, people will leave usually.

If you find a good group, tell them to stay for more runs. Good groups aren’t always easy to find.

So if you are tired with doing quests, this is a very good way to level up your character. Just note that you will not be able to level gathering professions like Mining, Herbalism or Skinning doing this. Unless you look for nodes and mobs to skin while you wait to get in an instance.
