Leveling in Dragon Isles - Main/Alt

Dragon Isles contains 4 zones, The Waking Shores, Ohn´ahran Plains, The Azure Span and Thaldraszus. 

Your first character

The leveling in Dragon Isles with your first character is linear when it comes to the main quest line. You will start with the main quest line in The Waking Shores, and the story will take you to Ohn´ahran Plains then The Aszure Span and finally Thaldraszus. There are some level check points for reaching the different zones and the one that you might bump into is when you finish the main storyline in The Azure Span and want to proceed. You need to be level 68 to continue. So you cant level up to max level only via the main questline, you have to do something else. And that something else are side quests, dungeons, pvp or profession etc. Side quests also have character level requirements. 

RENOWN AND REPUTATION

During the main storyline, you will be introduced to the 4 new Renown Factions:

  • Dragonscale Expedition
  • Maruuk Centaur
  • Iskaara Tuskarr
  • Valdrakken Accord

If you do main story and side quests, you will also be introduced to the other 4 reputation factions:

  • Artisan´s Consortium
  • Cobalt Assembly
  • Sabellian
  • Wrathion

By playing the game, you will unlock more things to do in the game. Meaning, by reaching higher renown, you will unlock more content to do in Dragonflight, such as fun world quests, special events and so on. 

The Renown rewards are tied to profession recipes, cosmetics, some gear, mounts, pets, toys, titles, dragonflying mount cosmetics and so on. 

WORLD QUESTS

You should definitely complete the main storyline because that is one of the requirements to unlock World Quests. The other requirement is that it only requires level 68. Once reaching the last zone, you will also be introduced to the new City, Valdrakken. World Quest ilvl reward is scaled to your character.

When the pre-patch event comes out 15th of November, you can easily gear up your character  to 252+ ilvl gear, which means that you will start wanting gear during leveling when you hit level 62. 

Players that have been playing during Season 4 and geared up will start wanting gear at a higher level. Players that have grinded the highest gear in Season 4 will actually start needing gear when hitting level 67-68. Check the table to see where you are on gear item level and when you will start wanting gear from quest rewards. 

When your character will reach the ilvl rewards from quests when leveling, you will feel that it will take longer time to kill them mobs, now when they are more scaled to your gear. Before that, you will kill mobs really fast. 

Your Alt characters

Your alt character can choose what zone to play in and you will do the main storyline in that zone. You can also swap to any storyline whenever you want. 

The Scouting map is located in The Waking Shores, and you choose what storyline/zone you want to do. 

WORLD QUESTS

All World Quests are available on your alt characters. However, the  World Quest rewards sometimes differ between charcters. The ilvl reward is scaled to your character level. 
You get xp from world quests.
