The primary stat you will want to focus on while leveling is intellect, the more mana you have the

more mobs you can kill before drinking. Spell power is also a useful stat while leveling, but there
isn't a whole lot of it available until you reach Outland, so focus more on stamina as your secondary
priority until you reach Outland. Spirit can also be useful while leveling because it will help
regenerate your mana between pulls, or while casting if you use Mage Armor or have Arcane
Meditation, but do not make it a priority over intellect.

Leveling Strategy:
The basic sequence is this:
bolt, bolt, bolt, frost nova, strafe to max range, bolt till low hp. Once the mob is at low hp use your
wand to finish off the mob and not Fireblast, especially not Fireblast, or any other mana using ability
if you can avoid it
To use a wand open your character pane (default shortcut key is 'c') and drag the wand from your

inventory to the ranged slot, then open your spell book (default key is 'p'), click the general tab, and
drag the “shoot” ability from the spell book onto your action bar. You will now be able to click that
action bar icon to use your wand attack. More on UI set up later.
Bolt is your bolt of choice, so if you were fire then bolt would be Fireball, and if you were frost then
bolt would be Frostbolt.
Be sure to use mage armor while leveling and make sure you glyph it as well.
Questing
The easiest way to level is to simply complete quests. The best questing strategy is to accept every
quest from an area, complete as many as you can, turn them all in at once, then repeat until you have
completed all the quests that you can from that area before moving onto the next area. If a quest is

too hard don't be afraid to skip it completely or save it for later.
Instances
Instances can be fun and can provide good loot to players who do them, but they are not required
content for leveling. Instances will help you learn your role in a group setting and how to play well
with other classes. Usually in an instance your most important role is providing crowd control
through polymorph, then damage, then buffs and food/water. All these roles are important however
and if you neglect any of them you are not fulfilling your role as a mage in an instance.
Grinding
Grinding alone is not the most efficient way to level a mage, or any class. Grinding is when you
simply kill mobs in an area over and over again in order to level. As you might imagine this can
become very boring very quickly. Good mobs to grind for mages, single target or AoE, are melee

mobs that have no ranged attacks, abilities that affect spell casting speed, or abilities that can prevent
