Leveling will be a breeze in patch 11.1.5 with the XP-boosting Winds of Mysterious Fortune buff

World of Warcraft patch 11.1.5 is now live, launching the Winds of Mysterious Fortune buff. This buff gives us a 20% experience boost for all characters between 10 and 79. Not only that, reputation for all Dragonflight factions — including the Cobalt Assembly — will be increased by 200%, and The War Within factions — excluding the Undermine factions of 11.1 and Flame’s Radiance of 11.1.5 — will receive a 100% bonus.

While questing below level 80, there will be chances for Mysterious Satchels to drop from creatures or from turning in quests. They will offer items that will boost stats as well experience potion to increase the 20% experience bonus to 30%.  These potions will also be Warbound so that you can save them for the next alt you plan to level.

The Winds of Mysterious Fortune will be running from when the patch launches on April 22 to when Horrific Visions return on May 20, so this experience buff will overlap with May’s Darkmoon Faire. This means you’ll have access to WHEE! to give you another 10%, bringing you up to 40% increased XP. Add that to Warband Mentored Leveling, which grants you an extra 5% experience to per character you have that hits level 80 — capping out at 25% increase with your fifth character when you gain the achievement Five Warband Mentors: The War Within — and you may wind up with a 65% boost to your earned XP during the week of May 4.

You may want to have any alt you wish to power level to be put aside now as they can accumulate rested bonus for an extra 200%, which if you have a full set of heirlooms for characters under 70, will have extended duration. This means your low level characters will be ready to enter The Undermine or face off with the returned visions of N’Zoth in no time as they can take advantage of the catchup gear available in Nightfall.

This month-long event will make leveling your alt army a breeze as well as help you complete some renown trees you may be behind on. Take advantage of this event before the Winds of Mysterious Fortune die down on May 20 with the return of the Horrific Visions.
