Experience and Rested XP in WoW Forever: how to level faster

While you are rested, every kill pays double experience until the bonus runs out. Quests pay the same either way.

• Inns and capital cities. Log out inside an inn or a capital and rested experience builds while you are away.
• Anywhere else. It still builds, but much more slowly.
• The cap. The bar holds up to a level and a half.

Spend a full bar on monsters at your own level. Grey ones pay nothing, doubled or not.

Forever's camping system lets you top the bar up while you play. The full list of camp features is on the camping page.

1. 1

   Step 1: Light a campfire

   Use a Basic Campfire Kit (Cooking 1). The campfire lets up to three players add a camp feature each, and it burns for 15 minutes. Keep camps at least 100 yards apart.

2. 2

   Step 2: Add a Camp Tent

   The Camp Tent is a Leatherworking feature from skill 20. Players who sit by the tent for about half a minute have their rested bar raised to 5% of a level.

3. 3

   Step 3: Wait out the cooldown

   All camp features share a one-hour cooldown. The tent does nothing while your bar is already above 5%, so use it after you have spent your rested experience.

The Tanning Rack (Leatherworking 140) and the Sewing Machine (300) give the same benefit as a tent while doing their crafting jobs. One leatherworker in the group is enough: everyone sitting at the camp gets the top-up.

The first camping quest, The Great Outdoors at level 5, walks you through it.

Legacy perks for camps

Most cooked food gives a 5% bonus to experience from kills on top of its stats. You need to sit and eat for at least 10 seconds to become Well Fed, and the buff lasts 15 minutes. Cheap food from level 1 does it too, so you can use it all the way up. A few to start with: Slitherskin Mackerel and Roasted Boar Meat for the first levels, Seasoned Wolf Kabob at 15 and Tasty Lion Steak at 25.

The Camp Tent is not the only way to sleep. The Cozy Sleeping Bag stacks Well-Rested up to three times, one stack a minute, and each stack is worth +1% experience from kills and quests. That is 3% for two hours, and it applies to quests too.

Legacy Points belong to your account and each character spends up to 16. These are the ones that matter for leveling. Plan them in the Legacy planner.

• Well Rested: rested experience builds 4% faster per rank and the cap rises by the same, up to 20%. It is the gate to the next perk.
• Talented: talent points start earlier, one level per rank, from level 9 down to level 5 at 5/5. You never carry more than 51 points.
• Thrill of Adventure: each kill gives back up to 5% of your health and mana over 10 seconds in the open world. It does nothing in dungeons, raids and battlegrounds.

The Legacy guide has the full tree, and Legacy: the fastest 16 points shows where the points come from.

Do quests give less experience when rested?

No. Rested affects kills only.

Does rested experience build while I'm online?

It builds while you are logged out, fastest in an inn or a capital. Camps let you raise the bar while you play.

Is it faster to level in dungeons?

No. Questing is fastest. A single run of each dungeon with its quests keeps up with the rest of your path.
