Power Leveling with the Dungeon Finder

Everyone always wants to know about the fastest way to level their WoW characters. And only dungeon leveling offers a unique way to power level. The dungeon finder was added on patch 3.3 and it creates an easy way for anyone to find groups to run through dungeons with. You may now have a much larger pool to find a group from instead of being limited to the other players on your server. The dungeon finder pulls together all the players from any of the servers in your playgroup. This is why even people who usually play during their server’s off time can easily find dungeon groups to level with. It will also leave no excuse for not experiencing all of the Classic dungeons from the original WoW.

Click on the button that looks like a green eye on the bottom of your action bar to try out the dungeon finder. It is located toward the right side of your screen. This is the “Looking for Group” button, and it takes you right into the dungeon finder.

You will discover immediately the first time you try dungeon leveling that you gain experience much faster compared on doing solo questing. Some WoW add-ons like Titan Panel will even put concrete numbers on exactly how much experience you are gaining per second. But when you try the dungeon finder just once, it will probably be enough to show you how much faster you can power level through this method.

There are several reasons why dungeon leveling gets you more experience faster than solo questing. One reason is you will have a chance to kill all the elite monsters. Elite creatures give a lot more experience than regular monsters and you certainly won’t be able to take down any elites by yourself. It will take five of you working as a team to defeat the elite creatures that you will only discover through instance leveling.

Another important factor in the increased experience offered by dungeon leveling is the quests. Instance leveling alone will bring you plenty of experience but it's just simply doing the quests that accompany each of the Classic and Burning Crusade dungeons that can bring you half of a level or even a full level of experience in itself. That experience is in addition to all the experience you picked up while you were in the dungeon actually killing all the mobs.

Another reason why you should do all the quests for each of the dungeons is the fact that you get twice as much experience from the quests as you do on a regular solo quests outside of the dungeons. Blizzard considers all dungeon quests to be much more difficult because of all the mobs and elite monsters you will find in them. This is why completing just four dungeon quests is equivalent to completing eight solo quests on your own.

Instance leveling with the dungeon finder is a great way to get a lot of experience very fast. You’ll probably even find that you spend much less time being dead and a whole lot more time actually killing monsters and getting more experience.
