Levelling tips for this city
- The Undercity flight path links Silverpine and later Hillsbrad, so take it early.
- Your first Legacy point usually comes when a character reaches level 25. After that, Frequent Flier makes flights cheaper and faster, and Well Rested raises the rested XP cap (Blizzard: Legacy System).
- Inns build rested XP. Log out in one between sessions Classic Era baseline.
Resting in the Undercity Classic Era baseline
The Undercity's inn is in the Trade Quarter, run by Innkeeper Norman. Its beds are open wooden caskets, as the wiki notes (warcraft.wiki.gg: Trade Quarter).
The whole city counts as resting. One bubble of rested XP is 10% of a level. It takes 16 hours to earn in an inn or a capital, or 64 hours logged out anywhere else, and it caps at 150% of a level (warcraft.wiki.gg: Rest). You can log out here after training and keep your hearthstone on Innkeeper Renee's inn in Brill, or on the Sepulcher.
More in hearthstone, inns and rested XP.
