Obviously depending on which faction you choose (Alliance or Horde) and what race you start off as, the game can be completely different.  Imagine if no matter who you started as, you could always get from level 1-80 in under a week!
I suppose you could pay a WoW power leveling service over a hundred dollars to outsource it to China where they will power level your mage from 1-80 in a week, or you could do it yourself.  I have been playing WoW since the beginning, and I remember how long it used to take me to get a mage from level 1-60.  Then, when The Burning Crusade came out, I remember how long it took to power level a mage from 1-70.  Once the Wrath of the Lich King came out, I knew I wanted to find a faster way to get  to the level cap without using a supposedly cheap WoW power leveling service.

Then I discoverd the secret.  It isn’t putting in the most hours grinding, and it certainly isn’t a sketchy online WoW power leveling service.  It is mage leveling in a way that always works.  It can be done by a frost mage or by a fire mage.  It can be done by either faction and any race.  The mage build you choose and the mage talents you pick don’t alter the effectiveness either.  That is the beauty of it right there: it doesn’t matter what you pick to play!

The key is to do mage quests and avoid grinding.  You only kill the mobs needed for quests, because let’s face it, quests make you ding a lot faster!

Mage power leveling is an absolutely amazing technique.  Getting a World of Warcraft mage to the level cap can be very monotonous.

Whether you are leveling a frost mage or leveling a fire mage, Alliance or Horde, it turns into the same keystrokes, casting the same mage spells, one after the other.

Is power leveling really as hard and boring as it sounds?

Its definitely not hard, and what could be more fun than getting to level 80 in under a week?

Mage power leveling can be done by anyone, so why pay a WoW power leveling service to do something you could easily do?  Sure there is cheap WoW power leveling out there, but it is still costly to get to level 80.  As a person who actually has 4 completely different level 80 mages on different servers, I know how tiring it can be to grind from level 1-80.  After my first two World of Warcraft mages, I have been able to power level the other two very quickly using Alliance leveling and Horde leveling techniques.
