World of Warcraft enthusiasts are always seeking the quickest and most efficient method for leveling their characters and it seems the latest buzz for leveling is "dungeon leveling". Dungeon leveling is now becoming more and more commonplace among the gaming community with teams of players uniting across Azeroth to battle and conquer the dungeons together.
Any player of the game can take on dungeons in group as long as they have reached level 15 in the game, so the opportunity to take on dungeons comes quite early on the game and is certainly worth exploring once you're familiar with the layout of the game.
Dungeons offer a unique twist compared to solo leveling in that they involve groups which usually contain around 5 players to participate and conquer the dungeon together as the monsters and bosses in the dungeons are much more difficult to kill than the usual solo quest monsters.
The loot and XP gained from dungeons though is also much more rewarding and the number one reason why many of the seasoned players are using dungeons to level their characters fast. Not only are the rewards much greater but much less time is spent traveling between locations to find, complete and return quests.
Blizzard have made joining dungeon groups straight forward since the introduction of the dungeon finder tool which is a bright green eye located in the menu bar on the main screen interface. Simply opening the dungeon finder tool will open up a new interface where you can join a queue for a dungeon.
The key to successfully leveling quickly using dungeons is to make sure you're always active and in a queue. Sometimes you may have to wait a little while to find a suitable group but making sure you're on stand by is key. You'll find the waiting times vary between different talent builds and class roles, for instance healers are usually best accepted into groups followed by tanks and finally the damage dealers.
When using the dungeon leveling method it's also wise to complete the available dungeon quests located in the dungeons. Many people skip over these but they drop lots of extra loot and XP and are definitely worth completing!
Admittedly dungeon quests can be awkward to locate especially in the lower tiers of the dungeons where Blizzard never deemed it necessary to add in game maps from previous installments and expansions of World of Warcraft but a good dungeon leveling guide that's updated for each new patch will make the process smoother.
