Let me know if I can add something or change something.

If you're like me, you will have all this memorized within a couple weeks of play. But it never hurts to have a reference at your finger tips for when some poor lost soul asks "where do I go to quest?".

Thanks this is helpful. Is something wrong with the XP listed per zone though?

I just scanned the list of the zones quests quickly for the average XP per quest. Of course there are a couple tiers of XP in each zone for tiny 'go talk to my brother' quests and the big end of chain ones.

The number I listed was what I felt was the general average reward for a normal quest in that zone.

Thanks for the clarification. I hear that there is not much extra xp to go around so moving on early may not be beneficial if we have to go back.

I read the same thing. 5-10% short on levels 89 & 90 after doing the entire zone >.<

Hopefully a couple instance runs will give us enough buffer to not need to track down every single quest.
