Since its birth, World of Warcraft has never been updated as much as with the last Wrath of the Lich King update. Northrend is considered the most huge addition to the game making WOW players interested in checking what the new continent offers. At the same time, they do not want to fall behind their colleagues in terms of leveling because of the time lost exploring the new land. The job of doing so would not be easy unless they know what to expect or use an alliance leveling guide.
Knowing that Northrend has loads of quests added and a huge area with two starting zones, one would expect leveling through it to require more time and research than it used to be before.
The first thing in Northrend leveling is to know where to start. There are two starting zones " Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord " and each one has its own positive and negative points to consider. But, of the two, Borean Tundra is by far the better choice for getting started in leveling. It provides a more linear leveling sequence, a faster route between hubs and a lot easier chance of finding what you need. Howling Fjord is a prettier, technically more awe inspiring locale, but it takes more time to get around and is thus harder to level up in as quickly.
You will be able to find quests in less time than in Outland as most of the quests in Northrend come in sequence and are related to each other. Getting information about NPC's you need to deal with or the way you need to go through will drop significantly the time and the effort needed to finish these long chain quests.
Also unlike Outland, players can now complete daily quests as early as Level 72, which allows you a lot more freedom in your leveling (and guarantees that you never have to grind for the next level). However, you should not stay in the first zones for dailies as they reward less XP and take longer. Go through Northrend up to Icecrown Glacier and if you are still not Level 80, only then start using Dailies for XP.
In the end, Northrend Leveling may seem harder but is in fact a lot more fun and filled to the brim with dozens of ways to enjoy the new content in exciting new ways. - 29943
