Preparation for Speed Levelling

Items -
Heirloom Chest, Shoulders, Cloak, Helm, 2x 1h Maces, 2x Haste Trinkets, 1x Dread pirate ring. (non pvp ones are preferable)

A selection of BOE bracers, boots, belts, rings, necklaces (particularly early on). Many of these will be replaced with quest rewards after lvl 20.

Also BOE's - From 80+ and then 85+ - When BOA's run out

Enchants/Item Enhancements –
Helm – BOA Arcanum of Ramkahen from 85+ (once BOA helm runs out)

Shoulders – BOA Hodir enchantments from 80+ (once heirloom shoulers run out) then buy a few from Therazane rep while levelling in deepholm.

Cloak – Enchant BOA cloak – Stealth (+8agi/dodge) and then scrolls of Enchant cloak (accuracy/greater crit/superior crit – whatever you can afford for when your heirloom cloak runs out 85+)

Chest – Enchant BOA Chest – Greater Stats (+4 all stats) and then scrolls of Peerless stats (or mighty stats if you’re poor) for 80+ when your BOA chest runs out.

Bracers – Scrolls of Enchant Bracer – Superior Strength, Lesser Assault, Assault, Expertise/Greater Assault, Precision, Agility (if you’re rich). Whatever you can afford.

Gloves – Scrolls of Enchant gloves – Superior Agility, Major Agility, Greater Expertise (or mastery ???)

Belt – A few of each belt buckl (eternal, ebonsteel) to socket along the way

Boots – Scrolls of Enchant Boots – Minor Speed, Cat’s Swiftness, Superior Agility, Earthen Vitality/Lavawalker. (Do panda’s get passive movespeed or roll with no CD ??)

Pants - A few of each leg armors to use on pants gained levelling up. – Not sure at this point if the stam/agi ones will be more beneficial than the AP/Crit ones. I’m not certain of how AP will work come MOP.

Weapons – 2x Enchant Weapon Agility (+15 agi)

Gems – A number of Delicate cardinal rubys (no level restriction) and a number of Delicate inferno rubys/queens garnet. Currently all these on my server cost a ridiculous amount of gold (they’ll come down with MOP approaching) however I’m thinking, at this stage it may be better to purchase mixed colour gems (for really cheap). What do you think the best option will be. Agi + (crit/haste/mastery) or Agi + Hit.

Consumables –

Food!! – Make use of that racial!
Small Sugarcane Stalk (panda starting food ??) -> Grilled Squid -> Smoked Desert Dumplings -> Warp Burger -> Blackened Dragonfin -> Fortune Cookie/Skewered Eel.

Elixirs/Flasks/
Elixirs of - Minor Agility -> Lesser Agility -> Agility -> Greater Agility -> Mongoose -> Onslaught -> Major Agility -> Flask of Relentless Assault -> Flask of Endless Rage -> Flask of the Winds

Combine the battle elixirs with a defender’s elixir (trolls blood/health regen/fortitude) if you so desire.

Potions
Swiftness Potions
Healing Potions
A few swim speed potions (for those annoying underwater quests)
Agi/Haste/Damage increase potions for “oh crap” moments/bosses

Weightstones
A few of each – Rough -> Coarse -> Heavy -> Solid -> Dense -> Fel -> Adamantite.

Misc
Gold!
Runescrolls of Fortitude I and II
Adventurer's Journals - Provide a levelling buff (procc or +damage or +10% exp from quests!!!)
4x Embersilk Bags
Gloves with Gatherer enchant (if you take a gathering profession or 2, now nodes give Exp it may actually speed up your levelling if you can take nodes along the way)
Glyphs?? Perhaps have a friend mail you glyphs as soon as possible (if they’re not available in the pre-patch)

Now you're just making all the colours black to spite me, aren't you?
Pick up some quests items for easy handins. (Ie: Stranglethorn pages)

Stranglethorn pages don't exist anymore.
Actually; can't really think of any questitems that aren't "Quest item" anymore (and thus BoP) except some rep items (like the Cenarion Expedition plant parts in Zangar; but they don't give XP)

Just set your forum theme to white >.>

Seconded. I don't see why you should have a theme that isn't white/cream colour. It's how you read everything else in the world unless you're at an art gallery.

On topic again: Frankly just gem with the green quality gems (Carnelians iirc) when you reach 80+. you don't miss much bonus and they're dirt cheap. Can't even remember that many quest rewards with sockets in cata anyway....

Enchants on armour heirlooms don't kick in until you're at the right level. For example, +10 stats chest won't activate until you're level 60. Don't think that's an issue with weapons as long as you use vanilla chants.

As for consumables, seems fine other than you missed water walk guardian elixirs. Once you start using flasks they can't be used but frankly you'll only need 20 at most anyway and if they're not used you'll have them for fisher dailies.

White on black is better? Dude :D

White text on a black background really decreases readibility, it also provides headache to a lot of people when they do try to read (see researches like this, but there's plenty others).

Ontopic again: Wasn't there some new feature that dynamicly merged or divided people into instanced versions of the zone to reduce mob hoarding?
