WoW Dragonflight – How to Prepare

Maximize Level Squish

With the second phase of Dragonflight’s pre-patch already having arrived, the level squish has taken effect. Now that it’s been implemented, the experience you’ll need to acquire in order to reach the current level cap of 60 has significantly been reduced.

The reduced XP requirements will easily allow you to maximize the levels of your alts, which would be best before Dragonflight fully launches with its new level cap of 70.
