Level 80-90 Fast & Gear Solo — Step-by-Step Guide & Transcript

[00:01] corner. With all the exciting brand new additions coming to the game like class buffs and changes, a new raid, a season of Mythic Plus and PvP, right now is going to be the perfect time for you to prepare a brand new character or finally

[00:13] today's video, we're going to be breaking down as quickly as possible how to catch up and prepare for Midnight season 2 in little to no time completely solo. That includes leveling as fast as possible, gearing up completely solo in

[00:27] you this works, I'm going to do it on a fresh level 80 character from last word from our sponsor. You know what's wild is the older I get, the more I realize how easy it is for my money to

[00:40] just disappear without me noticing. Between subscriptions, random charges, business expenses, all of it tends to add up and that's honestly why I've been money's going. And that's why I'm excited to talk about today's sponsor,

[00:54] Money recently and one of the first things it showed me was just how many subscriptions I had running that I just completely forgot about. I ended up canceling two subscriptions I wasn't even using anymore that were costing me

[01:07] On top of that, I actually caught a literally never even received, which saved me over $100 just from catching it that it gives you one place to see everything happening with your money top

[01:23] to bottom. It tracks subscriptions, organizes spending, helps you create normally wouldn't notice until way later like it did for me. And when you're busy in your adult life like I'm sure all of you are, saving time and money is one of

[01:37] the best things out there. So, if you want to get a way better handle on your rocketmoney.com/combatkids to get started for free. You can also scan the QR code on screen or click the link in the description below. I promise

[01:50] life-changing within like 20 minutes of using it. If you want to save time and Rocket Money for sponsoring today's video. Now, let's get back to the content. And starting today, the big one is the brand new Turbulent Timeways XP

[02:04] buff. With Turbulent Timeways active, once you run four Timewalking dungeons, you'll build up to a 30% XP buff, which is massive for leveling. And on top of the event, which you can spend on cosmetics, mounts, toys, and other

[02:18] Turbulent Timeways with a bunch of your other stuff, you're going to fly through these levels very, very quickly. So, after you get that going, you want to Midnight Zones. And from here, your first goal is very simple. You want to

[02:31] quickly travel through all four zones and complete all of the delves, and make sure you pick up the quest at the start of each delve to complete. The important part is is do not turn in these quests yet from the delves. You just want to

[02:44] pick them up, complete them, hold on to them, and save them for later, because use it to skip some of the hardest levels near the end to skip the grind entirely. Each delve should only take around 3 to 4 minutes to complete, so in

[02:58] total, they should take you roughly 45 minutes. And if you do everything properly later, this can end up giving you somewhere around four to five levels of experience in about an hour's work. From there, you have a couple of

[03:11] different options depending on what you actually want for your account. If you want just the simplest turn off your brain option, just go to the brand new world tier zones and just start doing world quest and outdoor content out

[03:23] there. You'll get a ton of experience very quickly, and at the same time, accolades, which are going to be very useful later when you start buying catch-up gear. That is the easiest turn off your brain route. Just go to these

[03:36] new world tier zones and do the quest and events there. But, you can also do what I did, which basically lets you knock out three or four birds with one stone. The idea is that you grab a prey quest from Astalor for one of the four

[03:49] Midnight Zones. Then, you go to that zone, complete the zone-wide weekly event first, earn your reputation, get a ton of experience, and collect important from that. And then after that, you complete your prey hunt in that same

[04:05] zone, which gives you an instant teleport back so you can grab another prey quest and simply repeat the loop. So for example, I activated my prey hunt for Herondar, I went over there, I completed the relic zone-wide weekly

[04:18] quest for, you know, reputation and a huge chunk of experience, and then I possible by doing the prey objectives, a couple world quest, and whatever else lined up nearby. I took the portal, and then I'm rinsing and repeating. With

[04:31] this route, you're not just leveling very, very fast, you're also progressing your entire account by earning midnight reputation, you're progressing your prey reputation, you're collecting useful currencies for your character, and

[04:43] 2 all at the same time. That's what makes this so good. You're not just grinding for XP just for XP, your leveling while also building power, reputation, currency, and account progress all at once. So doing this

[04:56] across all four zones took me around 15 to 20 minutes per zone, and by the time I wrapped up, I was around level 86. From there, your leveling journey is pretty much done now once you're around level 85 or 86 or higher, and you still

[05:11] have all of your XP bonuses still active, you can now finally go turn in all of those delve quests you've been holding on to. This is where you cash in all that banked experience and skip a massive amount of the end game leveling

[05:23] process. If you did everything correctly, turning in all these delve quests should shoot you up to around level 89, and then from level 89 to 90, you head back to Silvermoon and finish off the last level through first craft

[05:36] profession bonuses. The way this works is very simple. Whenever you craft profession that you have not crafted before, you get profession knowledge and XP. This can cap out about a full levels worth of XP, which means you can use

[05:52] professions to basically finish the final stretch from 89 to 90 pretty much instantaneously. So, the full route here is very simple. You get all your XP dungeons for the turbulent timeway buffs, do a delve world tour with the

[06:06] quest, level through heroic worlds here or the parade zone event loop that I taught you. You turn in your delve quest at level 85 or higher and then you do much it. It's the most painless, efficient, and solo-friendly ways

[06:19] possible. Absolutely phenomenal. Definitely a major W from Blizzard this point, you should have a fresh level 80 character. Immediately right off the bat, I highly recommend spending a few thousand gold on the auction house

[06:33] to get some level 90 starter gear. This is simply so you don't go out there and just get one-shotted in any bit of content that you do. I think I spent less than like 7, 8,000 gold and bought a full set of gear. Now, if you did

[06:45] point, you should also have some sparks of radiance as well. I highly recommend taking these and at least crafting your spark-crafted weapon at the crafting order vendor, so you can have a 255 weapon to start off with. This is a

[07:00] massive power level spike right off the bat. I did this and it cost me a few thousand gold and it's something that I'm going to re-craft later once I get enough myth or hero track crest. So, overall, definitely worth it. If you

[07:12] other pieces as well if you want to spend the money, like belt, cape, jewelry, and another pieces to get you started as well. Additionally, if you don't care about spending any of your void light marl, you can actually go buy

[07:25] a couple piece of champion gear from a vendor near the mythic plus portals, here. You talk to her, she'll sell you chests that can give you champion loot for 750 void light marl a pop. You can

[07:38] you want. Personally, I don't want to spend this currency on loot that's Void like Marrow seems very hard to come around these days. So, I'm personally to spend it, you can do that as well. From here, you definitely want to go to

[07:53] Decimus in the Nether storm and start stocking up on some Void Cores. This is the bonus roll loot system that was introduced this patch where pretty much could roll for bonus loot and get a

[08:05] you, which is pretty phenomenal. I bought six of these total just to start, but you can buy as many as you want and just non-stop bonus roll. From here, the quote easiest content that can give you the most amount of loot in the shortest

[08:18] amount of time by far has to be Nightmare Prey Hunts. Definitely head on over to Astellore, grab his weekly Prey Hunt quest, which has you complete three Nightmare Prey Hunts to complete, and he gives you a variety of really solid

[08:31] rewards that are going to be very useful in just a minute. From here, it's quite simple. You select your Nightmare Prey Hunt and start going zone to zone and completing them. I found it very easy by simply doing two world quests and then

[08:43] that usually procked my prey hunt to activate, and then I went on to you kill the prey target, I rolled immediately on the bonus roll loot with my Void Cores, and just like that, I'm starting to get a piece of champion loot

[08:57] and a piece of hero track loot in about 10 to 15 minutes per prey hunt. Then, you teleport back to Astellore, rinse and repeat the process across all four zones. From there, you turn in your weekly Prey Hunt quest, and you get the

[09:11] Beacon of Hope, which is going to be very useful inside of delves when we get a free piece of hero track loot in just a second. So, simply from just doing a was able to get four pieces of champion loot, four pieces of hero track loot, a

[09:24] ton of crest, coffer keys, and reputation with the prey system, making it incredibly worth our time. From this point, you should have enough power level to now head inside of delves. If you want the easiest route possible, I

[09:36] highly recommend specking as a tank or a healer and setting up your Valera as a DPS with these specific curios to just go around and she'll pretty much just beat the [ __ ] out of everything she encounters. Of course, you're going to

[09:49] level on your Valera, but nevertheless, Valera is absolutely broken in Midnight Season 1 if you set her to a DPS with these curios and she'll pretty much just carry the entire thing for you. Now, if you find Tier 11 delves too difficult,

[10:02] that's no problem. You can simply just crank it down to Tier 8 bountiful delves process. Personally, I went in there as a healer. I pretty much just pulled everything in the delve and I was finishing Tier 11 bountiful delves

[10:14] within like 5 to 8 minutes, uh, which is absolutely broken. So, on my very first delve, I activated my Beacon of Hope, which we got from our prey questline at the Hearthstone checkpoint. I defeated the mobs there. I earned a free piece of

[10:27] champion loot from that and then I got my bounty map. When you activate this bounty map in a Tier 8 bountiful delve or higher, you get a guaranteed hero track piece of loot at the end of your delve. So, I activated it. I defeated

[10:39] the last boss as well as bonus rolled and that means on my very first bountiful delve, I earned two pieces of champion track loot and two pieces of hero track loot all in less than 10 minutes. Not only that, because I'm

[10:53] delves, you're gaining a bunch of currency that you can spend at the ethereal at the end of the delve for a chance at some really nice loot, which in my case, I bought a hero track piece shield, which was absolutely invaluable

[11:07] for me at that point. So, from there, I just finished doing my bountiful delves in the other three zones and I ended up getting a ton of loot and my character power finally got to a point where I can actually handle myself in some serious

[11:19] content if need be. Mind you, everything that I've said here is done in about an hour and change of work. At this point, I had a ton of hero crest to play with when it comes to upgrading my spark crafted weapons. I could fill out my

[11:32] point I was ready for the hardest end-game content available for solo players, which is heroic world tier. It's important to note that Blizzard just buffed the absolute crap out of this as of today. They increased the

[11:45] drop rates on everything, they increased the frequency of rare spawns, the vendor are now war-bound, so you can just funnel them into a character. Rare enemies drop twice as many crests. Pretty much everything you do inside a

[11:58] heroic world tier right now is just amped up to 11. But before you can go in you needed to do what we just did. You needed to get some basic gear to get going to be able to defend yourself and get in there. So, once you finally enter

[12:11] heroic world tier, the goal is simple. You just grab any quests available, complete them, and complete any activities as well as world quests, kill rares, all that fun stuff. Not only does all of this help you complete your

[12:23] rewards, they give you a crap-load of field accolades as well to spend at the vendor for any gear you might need. In a matter of 25 minutes total, I completed possible, and I fleshed out the rest of my character in full champion and hero

[12:40] track loot. At this point in the game, I was past 250 item level in about 2 hours was past 250 item level in about 2 hours playtime, playing completely solo top to bottom on a fresh level 90 character. At this point moving forward, if you want

[12:54] rinsing and repeating things like nightmare prey hunts, tier 11 bountiful bells, and heroic world tier activities to get full hero track loot. Throughout all of this, you'll also be accumulating void shards when you complete these

[13:08] activities, and if you combine five of these void shards and use it on a fully upgraded hero or myth track piece of gear or weapon or trinket slot, it will boost the item level up substantially and pretty much turn it into a Super

[13:20] though I really didn't want to do this, I wanted to do it to get the footage for you guys to use it on this fresh level 90 character. I boosted it on a fully upgraded Hero Track piece of weapon that I got from a Delve, and then I boosted

[13:32] it up to a 285 item level. If you pretty much just follow this list of solo gear with Crest and easily get into like 260 to 270 item level in just a few days, which is pretty hilarious to me. Moving on now, when it comes to

[13:48] group-based content that is very easy, you can now do the Sporefall raid. This is by far one of the easiest piece of content that you can actually complete and get some really solid powerful loot. This is the new raid that was added this

[14:02] patch. It's a one-boss raid, and the loot inside of here is technically, and I quote, called Sporefuse, meaning that it has enhanced item level. So, if you do this on LFR, it will give you 259 gear, normal will give you 272, and

[14:16] heroic will give you 285 gear. I'm not going to lie, all of these are very, encounters. Like, the boss mechanics in here are probably on the same level of mechanics. Of course, you'll have to get into a group or either form one

[14:29] yourself, but when it comes to doing the easiest content for the highest reward instantaneously, Sporefall is one of the easiest ones out there, for sure. You could also just continue to farm heroic world tier content, but with a

[14:41] full-fledged party of five. There are a ton of people out there looking for a group that are searching for groups to go out there, kill rares, do the world and have a good time out the heroic world. Really cool content, literally an

[14:55] gear. Doesn't get much easier and more fun than this. It's a lot more fun than doing Mythic Plus or farming content completely solo, so I highly recommend about any of that at all, you can literally just buy all of your Void

[15:09] Cores and go right into Mythic Plus 10s and just spam bonus roll this as much as possible. Not only does this give you a chance at a Hero Track piece of loot at the end of every dungeon, it gives you 16 Myth Track Crest, and it also gives

[15:23] gear every time you complete it when you use your bonus roll. And with how easy mythic plus 10s are right now and how beyond trivial and very, very

[15:35] some group content to get some instantaneous myth track loot. So, when it comes to gearing, yes, you could just do all of this and you'll have more than next season in literally just a couple game play sessions. Now, when it comes

[15:49] to preparing for next season, you also have some other bits of content to complete that isn't fully revolved around player power. Now, I did just release a video about this top-to-bottom in-depth on pretty much everything you

[16:01] could possibly do to prep for next season. So, go ahead and check the link foremost, you have all of your midnight reputations that you should level up to level 20. This includes the Amani tribe, the Singularity, the Harathi, and the

[16:15] Silvermoon Court. These are all very easy to level up. Just simply grab your weekly events out in the world like we did earlier, like Abundance, the Soiree event, or the Tower Defense Singularity event. And you should have it leveled up

[16:29] in no time. All of these contain a bunch of really cool rewards and cosmetics, toys, reputation rewards, uh housing decoration items, mounts, you name it. the reputations of midnight wild, which is uh really fun. Also, the first four

[16:44] also give you some reputation tied to each of these renown. So, it's a very valuable to do these bountiful delves every week to also gain your reputation level up your Valera for doing these bountiful delves very easily to make it

[16:58] easier for next season to increase her power, which is going to be very, very new cosmetics that came with the heroic world tier that you can spend your field accolades on. This includes a ton of cosmetic sets like weapons and armor.

[17:12] mounts that you can get by completing also for this down in the description below so you guys can find it. Not only cosmetic rewards you can purchase as well from the vendor in Silvermoon. This

[17:27] is like the 80 tier two remastered purple variants of all these sets which look really awesome. Not only that, you also have all the mounts as well that you can collect from ritual sites and once again, a few of these mounts are

[17:39] pretty secret and complicated get so I will leave the link down in the description for this in below as well as you can click on screen here for that also. Additionally, I highly recommend and I find it very important that next

[17:51] patch we're going to be getting a complete reset on our profession talent tree if you want and get all of your profession talent points back. So I farming out some points on your profession orders and getting that

[18:04] amazing chance for you to completely rework how you make your gold on your characters on my account that I'm dying to respec on so definitely make it a priority to continue getting your profession knowledge and get this going.

[18:17] this is do your best to collect the shards of Dun Dun every single week for your weekly abundance event because you need as much of these as possible to get your epic profession crafting tools which can help make some more gold as

[18:31] well. You take these shards of Dun Dun, you go complete the abundance events and needed for your epic tools at the vendor right next to it. And then finally, up with your omnium folio because this is player power that's going to

[18:45] constantly come back throughout the expansion and of course, free power is World of Warcraft. But yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is going to wrap up this video on how I would fully prepare for Midnight season two if I was to hop in

[18:58] the game right now. Not only can you do it all pretty easily completely solo, you can do it in literally just a couple game play sessions so definitely get on thank you guys so much for watching this video. I'll see you in the next one.
