World of Warcraft Activities

Level Up Your Character

The main thing to do in World of Warcraft is to do level up your character. The easiest way to do this is to do the Quests provided to you by various Quest Givers. You will gain experience every time you complete and hand in Quests, which will help you to level up to the next level. You also gain experience from killing beasts and other non-player characters. The more you level up, the more powers you will gain. Access these powers by visiting a trainer. The maximum level of character in World of Warcraft is Level 80.

Start Earning Gold

In World of Warcraft, the currency is in copper, silver and gold. You start off receiving copper when you hand in your completed Quests and you can also loot these from NPCs.

Gold is useful for buying things you may need including gear and food to help you survive in the game. You also need this to pay trainers to level up your skills.

Groups that can enter the Arena are teams of 2, 3 and 5. The points you gain from the battles you win or lose in the Arena may be used for PvP gear, weapons and accessories.

Group Raids
