 Outland.... when?
I know you are able to go through the portal to outland at level 58. I was wondering, however, if that is actually a good level to go. I've played WoW for an extremely long time now, almost a year, but I have never reached level 60. I am the worst altohalic ever. But lately ive become much more interested in actually seeing what outland is like, and so im set on getting this rogue to 70 (currently lvl 46). needless to say i'll be eager to hit outland as soon as i ding 58, but is it really worth it or should i just finish up in azeroth until im 60?

outland = more XP and better rewards for quests. 58 - 60 in outland before patch 2.3 was already very much like leveling from something like 18 - 20, speed-wise. Now with the changes to the XP gain and requirements after 2.3... I'd expect it may be closer to leveling from 8 - 10 possibly. You should blow right through them in no time.

Either way works IMO.

Some people go to outland at level 56 (one of the hellfire instances will let you in at 56 - though obviously questing starts at 58) other's continue in the plagulands etc to 60 and then start OL.

I read a thread on the official forum (wish I had it saved or could find it) that talked about how you can have all the money for your flyer and epic flyer by the time you're done questing in Outland (even just the singles). The idea was to be lvl 70 at the end of the Nagrand quests (iirc) so that when you start BladesEdge - all those quests along with all the Netherstorm quests are exp to gold - so that you make the most money.

It's up to you. My next toon is probably gonna wait to hit 60 (woot 11 levels to go) and then hit up Outland jsut to make the whole money thing easier for how I like to spend and play. Also with only needing honored for keys the whole rep grind isn't the process it used to be.

Either way, good luck.

Do this. Go to Hellfire Peninsula, and complete the first quest you're given. Turn it in, and you'll have your answer.

I did a couple of quests on my rogue at 58 in Outland, got a few really good items that way and with the changed xp rewards in 2.3 just blew through Winterspring and Silithus. The 8500 xp in Azeroth for a quest are less than the 10 000 you get in Outland, sure. But mobs hit harder, mobs density is higher and it is generally a bit tougher in Outland.

If you have never played a toon to 60, all the more reason to see as much as possible of Azeroth :)
