Arcane Brilliance: Mage leveling guide, 21-30

Welcome to another edition of Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that won’t give up, will never back down, won’t retreat and won’t surrender. Arcane Brilliance has the heart of a champion, the eye of the tiger, the soul of a lion, the reflexes of a mongoose, and the gall bladder of an emu. Now, if you’ll excuse Arcane Brilliance, it needs to go indulge in an 80’s movie training montage to get ready for this column. And yes, in case you were wondering, Stan Bush and Vince Dicola will feature prominently.

After a rather extended hiatus from the leveling grind, we here at Arcane Brilliance (and when I say “we,” I pretty much mean “me,” and when I say “pretty much,” I mean “absolutely.” I fact, I’m not sure why I even said “we” in the first place. Just forget I said anything. Let’s move on, shall we?) are finally ready to continue with our series of overly wordy leveling guides this week. Here’s what we’ve covered thus far (and, yes, I’m aware that I continue to use the first-person plural when referring to myself. I’m a very confused individual.):

Part 1: Getting started

Part 2: Levels 1-10

Part 3: Levels 11-20

We begin today’s installment at the grand old level of 21. Your mage is freshly bemounted (That word doesn’t actually exist, but I think it should) and ready to take on the world. Chances are you’re preparing to move into your third major zone. From this point on, you have a great deal of freedom in choosing where you want to quest. I’d recommend an add-on like Cartographer, or a website like mapwow (just check the box that says “Show names for zones”) to see a map that tells you the appropriate levels of the zones around you, so you can pick a place to make your home for the next 5-10 levels. Once you’ve selected a destination, mount up and head that way. Stick to the road if you decide to travel through any higher-level zones in-between, and be sure to pick up any flight paths you pass during the trip.
