Some Notes of Power Leveling for Druid Players

Try to take note of which activites make you more efficient at gathering XP per hour. Drop the activites, as much as you can, that are very inefficient and concentrate on those that provide the best return. For example, quests that take you for a loooong trip, but don't provide much XP or other worthwhile return. Those should be skipped unless you can knock off a bunch at once. Like grinding occasionally? See if you can pick up the kill quests (Kill 47 of those mobs over there) that go with the grind.
Always log out at an Inn, you'll get 2x XP for awhile when you come back. If you can set up a second account, or grab a buddy, you can use recruit a friend and get 3x XP.Your XP per kill will be lower but your kill rate will be faster and downtime will be less, more than making up for the reduced XP per kill, especially if you're healing. A Warrior/Druid team can mover very quickly. Try and do more than one at the same time and you will level much faster than just killing off a bunch of mobs (grinding.) Plus you get cash and prizes for completing them. The in-game quest helper is very nice for this. Grinding as you go from quest A to B isn't a bad idea, either.
From time to time you will bump into a group of mobs close enough together, but not too close, to let you kill quickly and with a respawn rate that lets you go non-stop for as long as you care to mash them. It's especially nice when they drop interesting loot. If you find one of these spots then go for it. Make a level 1 alt to do all your banking. When you come across items than can be sold on the Auction House, or have stacks of skins, herbs, or ore to sell, then you ship them to your alt to sell. That way you can pay attention to leveling and don't have to run back and forth from the big city. Instances & dungeons can be great for gaining rapid XP and picking up much better can that you'll find while questing. The in-game Dungeon Finder system is great for this. Dungeoning also allows you to level as a tank or healer. See our Dungeon Leveling Guide for more on how to do this. Each dungeon has a number of quests that go with it. Do those and you'll get a lot more XP.
Always have the biggest bags you can afford and always have an adequate stock of whatever food or supplies you'll need. The goal is to only go back to town when you want to, not when you run out of supplies or bag space. Loot everything, always, and vendor off all the grey junk. Send anything white or better to your bank alt to sell later. If a quest is too hard, or you're on a PvP server and the gankers are out in force, just skip it for now and come back to it later. Or, if you're in a good guild, call in help to do the quest or get revenge. That's what Guilds are for. Grab whatever Potions, Scrolls, and buffing foods that you can find. The better buffed you are the more you will glow, er... the better you'll kill things.
