Played about 3 hours today and here’s the 17th chapter in Gilphor’s Horde leveling journal.

Gilphor Horde Leveling Journal Day 17

Sholazar Basin it’s been a great zone so far. I got loads of XP from herbs and managed to level up from 78 to 79 in only 1 hour and 45 minutes. I literally stuffed my inventory with Goldclover and Adder’s Tongue. The last of the herbs I mentioned sells like hot cakes on this server.

Although Zygor Horde leveling guide has told me to go to Storm Peaks when I was 78 and about 2/3, I decided to remain in Sholazar, until I finish up the Frenzyheart/Oracles quests. I also managed to solo “A Hero’s Burden” and chose the Oracles as my friends because in the future I’d like to get the Green Proto-Drake. Luckily, I finished this quest quickly enough to avoid getting ganked by a group of Alliance players. I popped bubble and managed to teleport home before they interrupted me.

Plenty of gas clouds in Sholazar Basin, just as in Nagrand. If you’re an engineer, Zapthrottle Mote Extractor is a nice tool to bring on if you’re passing through this area. I don’t know about others, but on this server, Eternal Fire currently goes for 40-50g each. Also, if you have Skinning, this is really a good place to boost up your skill. Not only that you’ll have to kill loads of animals while leveling in this area, you’ll find plenty of corpses to skin, since many players choose this zone as their leveling destination. I’m glad this Horde leveling guide has this zone in its leveling path, otherwise I would have taken a detour to this place and still put it in my Horde leveling journal.

Once I finished with the quests in Sholazar, I went to Dalaran to train. Also, although Zygor Horde leveling guide sent me to Storm Peaks, I chose the other 78-80 quest pack, in Icecrown. Storm Peaks isn’t a very accessible zone and I don’t like it in there. Plus, it’s not that great for Herbalism.

Gilphor Horde Leveling Time for 17th Leveling Session

Decided to call it a day at Dalaran, before starting with Icecrown. Gilphor is at this time level 79 and 1/4, after 3 days, 14 hours and 15 minutes played. I know I should have remained on to finish this level and reach 80, but I was just too tired. So far, Zygor’s Horde leveling guide remains an excellent level up tool.
